Some years back Bezos' phone was hacked by the Saudi government and his text messages leaked. In those text messages he talks about how much he loves his wife. So this isn't a matter of speculation. You can find the texts. They are pretty cringe but authentic.

Certainly.

Stop citing genetic freaks as examples to emulate.

Awakening does not care if you are man, woman, or baboon. There does not need to be a baboon path to Awakening. If the baboon refuses the "man's path", it will not Awaken.

Yes, although it adds needless complexity. You can do whatever but your mind is likely to lose focus and weaken the exercise. Of course it works on a psychedelic but if you take the psychedelic you gain no benefit in training up your sober state of mind. You need to train up your sober state so you are be conscious of God without psychedelics. It's not useless, you are becoming more conscious of God. It just takes time and focus. You can't go to the gym, do 5 pushups, and then say, "This is fucking useless." Nothing in life can be achieved with that attitude.

No, it makes for a life of illusion, suffering, and separation from God. There is no enjoyable life without consciousness of God. Again, please stop kidding yourselves. Awakening is mandatory for genuine happiness.

My old style was not aligned with truth because triggering the ego is not an effective way of guiding people to truth. My new style is more truthful, conscious, and loving. So I am not going back. Actually, even my new style will evolve into a more conscious and loving one. My old ways were immature.

This is BS. It will never make you Awake. It's time to stop kidding yourselves.

@ExploringReality I did it on purpose to make the teachings more serious. But I have backed off from that harsh style because I realized it is counter-productive.

No one is saying poly can't be done. The issue is that Aubrey is trying to have it both ways. He isn't capable of monogamy nor is he capable of full poly. He's trying to have the best of both, which is an example of the ego maximizing value for itself. It's this kind of high manipulated survival but it is romanticized as highly spiritual.

25 no. But a 45 year old he can probably get.

It does not make sense why Aubrey is doing poly but still has so much jealously and pain around her having sex with others. It's weird. If you're doing poly you shouldn't care what she does. Not go cry about it as Aubrey describes. This to me is a red flag. He wants poly for himself but not truly for her because deep down there is a fear of losing her to some better guy. This is the problem with poly, the ego is happy with it but is secretely plotting to use it to lock in with someone extra hot. So poly becomes this game for faking openness until someone really high value comes along and then you lock in because you cannot stand to lose that much value to someone else. That's what Aubrey did to get Vylana. I suspect that the ego is using poly just as a ploy to maximize value for itself. This is then a corrupt thing and I don't want that couched as spiritual.

It's different if you're doing cold approach or if there's already a relationship of some kind. Lovebombing is something that takes place not in the attraction phase but further in.

All historical figures are imaginary. You know none of them. You would understand this if you were actuallty doing the work. You guys neglect to do the actual work, which disappoints me.

Those shamans are full of shit. They are not thinking, they are doing conformity. You are hallucinating Jesus. I promise.

Those are mystical fantasies, not serious consciousness work. I've done oral DMT many times and 30 other psychedelics. I know this domain as well as it can be known. You are failing to realize that you are God dreaming.

Jesus is a fantasy. Let it go and realize that you are God.

@Inliytened1 Dude, I'm sorry, but your political takes are really bad and uninformed.

Stop acting like you are objective on this issue. You are the one changing things around. My position and predictions on Trump have been consistent for 10 years.

They are implementing Project 2025. It is aweful stuff. WW3 it is not.

I never predicted anything so silly.

Yes, facing boredom is the real work. Take small breaks every hour to get some blood in your legs. Slow walking meditation can just as good as sitting. Walk mindfully around your room.

@LoneWonderer Some tips: You don't have to focus on one point. It could be better to focus on the entire hand. So you aren't straining so hard. Relax your focus so it's not so effortful. Just keep looking at your entire hand. Allow your eyes to move across your hand. Don't keep them locked. Try to keep mind chatter down. Try not to comment on your experience to yourself. Just sit with relaxed focus and be still and at peace. Try to not-know the hand. Remove all conventional knowing of it, so that the hand becomes somewhat unrecognized. It starts to looks weird. Slowly moving your fingers and hand is good too. It's like playing with your hand. Do it for an hour at a time. Try to gently remind yourself that your hand is Absolute Truth/God. Try to gently remind yourself that your hand is Consciousness and imaginary. That's it. It's hard to fail here. Whatever happens is good.
