Just decide to do it. There is no other way. Don't try to do it in all areas at once. Choose one thing to start with. Your commitment also has to be realistic. 16 hrs of programming every weekend is not realistic so you will fail at that automatically.

I know everyone on this forum who isn't Awake. You give yourselves away with a single utterance. You can BS yourselves and others, but don't think for a minute I don't see through you. I am being nice just for not kicking you out of here for the ignorance you spread.

But you won't remember it. Think of it this way, you were already tortured in another life before this one. But that has no bearing on this life. The problem is that by mentally imagining all this suffering you create suffering for yourself when you don't have to be suffering now. Suffering will definitely happen to you, the key is to not worry about it much. Enjoy the good times while they last. They won't last forever. Also, stop filling your mind with toxic images which then loop around in endless nightmares. As you purify your mind your nightmares will stop.

Good! Now your goal is to actualize that beautiful God-consciousness in real life through spiritual practice. So get to work!

Yes, but the you you are refering to is the ego, not God proper. The ego will not be around to experience every single goddam thing. It will not be actualize for the ego/human self. The part of you that worries about this, that fears this, is the ego. No ego, no problem. Hell seems bad to the ego. Hell is not bad for God proper. Think of it this way, does a coffee table care if you throw it into a lake of lava? Why not? God is like the coffee table. Of course the ego is terrified of Infinity. That's the only thing keeping you human.

Stop making personal attacks.

You really don't understand how rape works. You have a very naive view of sociopaths. Do some reseach on how sociopaths operate.

Well, at some point we will have robot cops.

A stretch to equate "You're free to leave at any point" with advocacy of suicide.

Jordan Peterson's hatred of Justin Trudeau is just comical.

In a developed country if you blatantly allow your customers to be harmed you will be sued out of existence. This is also a feature not a bug. It is a key mechanism for creating a safe and pleasant society. Just today I read of a new lawsuit against Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube by the Seattle Public School system for "exploiting the neurophysiology of the child brain". https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/01/schools-sue-social-networks-claim-they-exploit-neurophysiology-of-kids-brains/

@Michael Jackson You don't know what you are talking about. Don't even try to play otherwise.

Not necessarily from your human perspective. God's Mind certainly includes that dream. It just doesn't mean your ego will experience it. God can dream up infinite degrees of Hell. That's no fairytale. Don't forget that your ego would completely die very soon into that kind of consciousness, so it wouldn't be as bad as you might think. The thing in you that suffers is the ego. God proper doesn't have an ego so it doesn't suffer like a human does. God might enjoy a trip to Hell just for the interesting view. God is death. Once you completely surrender, you are invicible. But that surrender will kill you. Once you are truly dead, you can explore endless consciousness without a care in the world. You can fly to Hell and take a dip n a sea of lava. A human cannot do this because it has a form to maintain. God proper has no form, so no problem. Once you lose your form completely, you are free and nothing can harm you, because you are already dead.

Which is why I try to give them some money. But I always walk away knowing it didn't solve a damn thing for them.

Wrong. You are Consciousness. What you call direct experience is Consciousness. But you are not yet conscious of that.

God is just an Infinite Mind. Which means, it is every possible thing that a mind can imagine. As it turns out there are no limits to what a mind can imagine, which is exactly why your dreams of torture happen. Your mind is just exploring the full potential of what a Mind is. Don't think of it as God allowing or disallowing. God is simply Mind. And Mind has no limits to what it can dream. And it's all dreams. The function of Mind is to accept itself in its totality. As it turns out, you can't dream anything unless you are able to dream everything. So here you are. If Mind couldn't imagine suffering, it would be a very weak mind and you could not be alive.

You never said yes to anything. You just found yourself alive alongside a bunch of monkeys who did the same.

Animals certainly exist.

Lol You can be a great coach with very little psych theory. Psych theory is icing on the cake. You will need more theory if you deal with patients with serious mental illness, but for average healthy people not so much. If you want to practice therapy you will need a university degree. Coaching you can learn through a much simpler 1-year program.

@Rasheed If you are serious about helping people then you need training in coaching or clinical therapy. That is totally different from reading psych theory. Ken Wilber doesn't help anyone, he is an academic. Reading books contributes very little to your own development. You gotta do inner and outer work to get development. Ken Wilber isn't developed because he read a bunch of books but because he spent thousands of hours in meditation, contemplation, and just life experience.

You know how expensive therapy is? Who's gonna pay for all this "free" therapy? And therapy is also notoriously ineffective, especially for stuff like PTSD. The money you burn on therapy could be used to hire more cops. It would be interesting to ask a cop what they want more, a therapist or another cop by their side?

Yeah, that's a mystery. Most people are rats chasing after some obvious chunks of cheese and that's all life is for them. Most humans just live like animals. An animal has no curiosity beyond daily survival.

Actually, in less developed and more corrupt countries what I said is even more relevant and true. The less developed a country is the more it needs to control dangerous and destablizing ideas because the institutions are weak and easily subverted by a handful of extremists. The US government can allow so much free speech relative to the rest of the world because its deep state is so secure. But even so, very dangerous ideas float around freely and could harm thousands of people. The issue isn't merely the security of the government, it's even moreso about defending people from harm, because masses of harmed people get pissed off and kick you out of office. US politicians have a duty to defend the masses from excessive harm and exploitation, if only to get reelected. Harmed people will quickly blame you for not defending them. Which is why someone like Tate, Alex Jones, and Kanye are cancelled. If YouTube allowed these bullies and bigots to stay on their platform eventually YouTube itself would get the blame and lose lots of business. It's not just politicians who are responsible for defending the weak, it's also corporations and platforms. If Walmart allows gangs to rove their stores and beat customers up, Walmart will go out of business. And Disneyland cannot allow Nazis in full uniform into their park. Freedom is irrelevant because what people truly care about is safety and comfort. You do not want to take your kids to a park full of Nazis. That isn't "wokeness", that's survival 101. Businesses are forced to create happy, friendly spaces because customers do not like violence, hate, and misery. If your local restuarant was filled with posters encouraging the sex trafficking of women and tax evasion, you would quickly switch restuarants. This is not a bug, this is a feature.

That's right, which means you will not change them. Technically they could choose to change (unless their health is simply broken beyond repair) but that is so unlikely it's as if they can't. You can't even get your parents to change. Nevermind homeless people.

@Greatnestwithin In the end all your relationships are just monkey games.
