No. If I'm not conscious of it, it's like it doesn't exist.

Very different. Of course you are everything, but you'll shit your pants if you actually become conscious of the whole planet as if it were your own body. Imagine your body was replaced by planet Earth, and you could feel into yourself. That's what it's like. Too early to tell.

Not on any psychedelic

For example, I haven't taken any psychedelics in about 3 days. Today I woke up in bed and I realized planet Earth is Awake. You're not doing anything wrong. You're just in a different state of consciousness. Of course that will happen. You cannot just naively trust everything your trips tell you. Trips can deceive you, especially about your human capabilities. For example, in the middle of a trip you might get the idea that approaching hot girls is actually very easy and that you'll never again feel approach anxiety. But then next week when you're at the club sober, you see a hot girl, and you chicken out from approaching her. This sorta overestimation of yourself is very common.

Ahahahahahaha.... There is no Buddha! You invented him.

Please spare me, Buddhist.

No, I became it. Because I am consciousness locked in human mode. Not sure The lower levels of awakening will of course align with classic nondual teachings for the most part. It's just that there exist much higher levels of awakening which are completely beyond that and which are denied by Buddhists because Buddhism is a limited dogma. Just as a basic example, many Buddhists will even deny Love and God as legit awakenings. Nevermind the even higher awakenings I've reached. That's fine, but I am telling you that all of that is a dream within a dream. You are missing degrees and kinds of awakening that are completely beyond human imagination and which have not been described by any Buddhist. Buddhism is a dream from which you can awaken. When you do, you will stop taking Buddhism seriously.

That's what I've always thought, but then I simply became conscious that the whole planet has its own planetary consciousness. There's no distinction between what's inside and outside of a human body, and yet somehow a human body has its own consciousness. The situation is exactly analogous.

When you finally get it, you'll piss yourself laughing at how obvious it was.

Now you're talkin son!

Of course. Because the conservative worldview is absolutistic, black & white, right vs wrong, good vs evil. It takes a very sophisticated mind to start to understand relativity & subjectivity. A simplistic mind thinks that reality is made up of rigid black & white categories. A nuanced mind knows better.

@Ragib Ashraf It took me some 300 awakenings to get to this. Don't expect it to come fast or easy. And it's not just the chemicals, even more important is how you go about deconstructing your mind. You can have bombastic awakening if you work towards it.

Haha Haha

Don't overlook the obvious: LOVE

Truth is not so complicated. At rock bottom, after all the philosophical games are exhausted, something True must exist.

Now you're talkin'

There exists such a thing as Absolute Truth. Do you understand that?

Of course I know exactly what you mean. My point is simply that pickup just boils down to forcing yourself to approach and talk to girls. The rest is petty details. It is a mistake to hold pickup as some secret scheme that you execute between the hours of 2pm and 4pm every Thursday in order to manipulate a few unsuspecting targets into sleeping with you. You can approach pickup that way, but my suggestion is that you shouldn't.

Of course there is a reason. The same reason I dream of fucking hot girls and not chimpanzees. It's my own fantasy.

Yeah, well, that's basically what all of science boils down to. Reality functions in such a twisted and complex way that there are rarely easy answers.

My work does not focus on manipulating physical reality with various tricks. Maybe that's possible but it's not something I pursue and I don't know all the intricacies of how that might work. You are basically talking about developing siddhis, which is a classic subject but one that I am not experienced in. In a certain sense you guys demand way too much of me. As if I am some sort of king of the universe.

Much of the work we do with Actualized is collapse various distinctions. You should be well familiar with that by now.

I would not measure intelligence like that at all. That's not what intelligence is. Generally speaking your working memory will decrease with age, but your intelligence will increase if you are developing yourself.

Only all of them
