Exactly. And now there is a culture war over how to define it.

It has nothing to do with quenching curiosity. -
Even definitions of sex are relative.

They are conscious in a different way. Likely, although I think it is a mistake to only look for DMT. There could be many other tryptamine molecules responsible for mystic consciousness. You'd have to test for them all. Well, DMT is more potent usually in the way it is taken.

Very good share.
-
The issue is one of relative definitions. Who gets to define what "man" is? Our definitions are not absolute. That's what you're missing. That video is an example of Blue & Green talking past each other.

It's not so simple because studies also seem to show that if you give LSD to schizophrenics they say that the LSD trip is not the same as their schizophrenia. But if you give the meth it deepens their schizophrenia. So schizophrenia is not merely a psychedelic state.

Yeah, well, I have a right to twist things however I want. I twisted it for a reason: because SD is misleading when it comes to understanding the highest levels of human consciousness. I am not loyal to any model or to Beck. I teach whatever I feel is most helpful for people to grow to their highest level. Beck does not get to say what I can and cannot say about SD. He could make his own videos if he wanted. And trademarking the name of a scientific model is a dick move. Imagine if I started teaching some new perspective on General Relativity and then Albert Einstein trademark striked me for it. Calling Ken Wilber stage Red is not perfectly reasonable. Beck had some serious biases. I am not the only one who twisted SD. Ken Wilber felt the need to do so too because he saw its limits at the higher stages.

By that logic abortion is just survival The only species I know that considers itself important is humans.

I am very sensitive to noise. I use cheap foam earplugs much of the day in my house to get total silence. Eliminate airplane noise, car noise, biker noise, distractions, lawnmowers, leaf-blowers, etc. Perfect for meditation, contemplation, and work. I've worn them for years. Foam earplugs work best. Buy a giant box of them.

Yeah, that's a big struggle for us introverts. Extroverts have a much easier time just talking random bullshit. Here are a few tips: Talk about yourself. Talk about your ideas and feelings. Ask less questions, make more statements. Tell little stories from your life. Talk about topical stuff from the news. Read a bit of news before you go out. Or pop-culture news. Make up some assumptions about them like, "You look like you're from California". It doesn't have to make any sense or be accurate. Make observational comments: "Your dress reminds me of Pocahontas."

Two can play this game. If it's wrong to a kill a child, is it not wrong to kill an ant? What is the principle distinction between a human and ant? What's the difference? Why is it okay in the later cases and not the former cases?

It's hard to complete basic life functions on mushrooms. I once tried to record my mushroom trip and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to press the record button on my camera. Logical stuff stops making sense. You'd die pretty fast if you were on a permanent mushroom trip.

Not sure what to say about it. I have mixed feeling about him because of his support for Trump, denouncement of Ken Wilber, and trademark striking my Turquoise video.

Def psychedelics will show you the deepest self acceptance possible. But you will also have to do manual work and development. Material success doesn't really affect your self-acceptance much. It's more like a band-aid over a deep wound. You need deep inner work. Which is not to say you shouldn't pursue material success. Material success is a good thing, just don't expect it to heal your psyche. -
Well, that's why I would never date nevermind marry a stage Blue girl. Too much dogma. Not worth dealing with. But also I think you are overstating it. There must be Orange and Green girls in India.
-
1) Big cities in India must have nightclubs, bars, and a liberal social scene. 2) Yes, dating in deeply stage Blue societies is more formal and challenging. Casual dating isn't so acceptable there. You need a stage Orange society to do dating effectively. Dating is a stage Orange notion. Pickup advice is not geared towards places like India, it's geared towards Western parts of the world. Obviously you cannot go to a tribe in the Amazon and start running game or setting up coffee dates. When in Rome you must do as the Romans or they might kill you. 3) Move to where dating is socially acceptable.

Jerking off is older than human civilization. -
Obviously. You can also get a sense of how much its working. Yes. How do you know it's working?

Oh damn!

Same thing. God is just a deeper insight into the nature of what Being is. It's easier to realize Being than it is to realize God. Realizing Being is like a fish in water realizing water. Realizing God is like a fish in water realizing the whole ocean as one giant superorganism created by its own mind. -
