Theortically could be. But most likely a vain egomaniac with nothing better to do and using "art" as a rationalization. Thing is, a serious artist would find bodybuilding far too limited of a medium. I find my Youtube videos are far too limited of a medium for my art. I wouldn't call Arnold Schwarzeneggar an artist. He's doing something else. Generally no.

My position is: Your true identity is God. The only trick is becoming conscious of what that entails. In practice the way identity works is that you can identify with anything, from the most limited to completely unlimited (Infinity) and anything in between. Your identity is bascially a function of your state of consciousness. Depending on what state of consciousness you're in you will identify with various things. And the higher your state the more you will identify as everything until eventually you reach pure formless Infinity.

Exercise is not a waste of time, but that's not what is being discussed here.

That's definitely an absurd fantasy. You don't need that. A girl will want to have sex with you by the 3rd date at the latest. And not just want, but need. She doesn't want you to court her for a month. As a man you should be assertive about what you know you want. She wants you to want her and to be confident in it, not wishy-washy. She is testing you to see how bad you want her. Love is a thing that comes long after sex.

Be careful with that kind of atitude. You should verify these things for yourself.

It's really basic. A foot-long dick can't help you get girls simply because she doesn't know you have it. And if you tell her you have it, it sounds desperate and creepy so it actually works against you.

A virus that kills all low consciousness people. Comes in chocolate-coated bacon.

Aljazeera has some great videos.

Because I wanted to understand the nature of reality.

You need to figure out your life purpose and career. What are you passions?

How about when someone's way involves hijacking your community by proclaiming himself to be the reincarnation of Jesus and having sex with all the hotties and taking their money?

You don't know that.

Nothing has really changed for me in this regard other than that I am able to appreciate and see art more clearly.

The lesson is: girls have zero loyalty or care for you until sex, regardless of what they say.

I have always been.

I'm disappointed in the American legal system when it comes to politicians. But Trump will be in a lot of trouble if he loses the election. He already lost $500 million. That's no small thing.

Don't miss the elephant in the room: Getting jacked is a waste of time. And girls don't even like it. You're doing it for your own vanity.

A lot of such scientific studies are very poorly designed. This issue is much larger than just this one corrupt Harvard guy. Perhaps as much as 50% of all scientific studies are poorly designed and lead to misleading conclusions. This is especially the case in the field of medicine. The studies are often extremely narrow and anti-holistic. Just because something works on some rat somewhere doesn't mean it will work for you. And often it doesn't even work for the rat!

No. There is no point in worrying about things you don't control.

In a sense, the fearmongering in the field of AI is a misdirect. The danger is not that AI will go Skynet and kill humans, the real danger is that these AI companies will become capitalist monopolistic monstrosities driven to maximize profits at great cost to society at large, driving ever larger income inequality that corrupts and preverts society. I don't take their talk of safety seriously. Because the danger is not in the AI, the danger is in the corpo ghouls who run the company.

Just because it is high does not mean there isn't something above it. I am for raising your consciousness however works for you. I don't know. It probably varies from person to person what is achievable. They lock in a higher state of consciousness plus a fantasy about it.

@Ishanga I am speaking about the view from Awakening here, and high states of consciousness.

Lol. 2 guys != a craze.

Of course they themselves don't know the dangers of AI. And even if they knew they would still rush to monetize it. They are there to make money and be famous, not to save mankind.

That's a limited and conceptually skewed notion of Consciousness. Ironically, you are engaging is some kind of absolutism there. There is nothing you are not and there is no space for space. It absolutely does. Not "just". Experience is Absolute Truth. This is irrelevant to the issue.
