Be careful with taking skepticism too far. Consciousness allows for genuine understanding of things. Genuine insight is possible and Truth exists.

Sweet

Of course. In the 1st order sense.

Tesla definitely occupied a non-ordinary state of baseline consciousness. He was not a normal human, he was super-human. Normal people cannot do what he did.

What about me? Am I not a rare and beautiful creature?

I have had no-self so deep you couldn't imagine it. No-self is valid, however there is so much more to comprehending God & Consciousness. Just because you got no-self doesn't mean you comprehend what God or Consciousness are. In fact, I promise you don't.

Stop expecting her to carry the conversation. The solution is to simply plow her with words without caring what she says. When you open, you carry the conservation 90%/10%. It's not really a conversation, it's plowing. After a few minutes of plowing, then she will warm up and you can have some actual conversation.

Why does a starving dog find more food?

Because people are distracted by petty culture wars.

Gay people used to be fired, blacklisted, beaten, and even murdered. That's hardly the case any more. Nowadays the backlash is mostly to LGBTQ folk proudly flaunting their queerness around and fusing it into mainstream culture. It's one thing to allow queerness to exist, it's another thing to celebrate it in mainstream culture. That's what the right-wingers are fighting now. You are corrupting their cherished traditions.

I'm well aware of his record. This is pretty standard right-wing policy stuff. The whole right-wing is anti-woke at this point. And it has nothing to do with death camps.

@Gennadiy1981 I get an 8hr long 5-MeO level trip from smoking a few puffs of weed.

How do you know anything is real?

This kind of guru-worship makes a mockery of spirituality.

Why do you act so entitled? Why do you assume that mainstream culture should bring you advanced, cutting-edge discoveries without you having to do any work? Mainstream culture is not designed for truth or consciousness, it is designed to maximize animal survival. You cannot access mystical things without radical states of consciousness. You do not have the genetics nor the training necessary for such things.

DeDantis is not going to send people to death camps. This is an absurd characterization of him. We need a more nuanced view of right-wingers.

Haven't decided yet.

How come you don't eat your food off the floor? Maybe it will taste better.

@r0ckyreed You read my quote too literally. It's not about vision per se, it's about your entire field of perception. It doesn't matter if you go blind, you will still have a field of perception of some kind. Blurry or sharp vision is irrelevant. Perception is still perception, regardless of its qualities. Whatever your bubble of perception is -- that whole thing is God!

There are not going to be any death camps. Don't strawman the right. They are foolish, but not that bad. Vaush is a master of strawmanning the right all as Nazis. This is a juvenile level of political analysis.

Yes, right-wingers are desperate these days, but the fact is that LGBTQ rights are better than they've ever been in human history. Progressives love to whine about everything. There is some validity to right-wing claims about brainwashing children with gender fluid ideology and trans confusion. That does happen. And drag queen shows for kids is nothing to be proud of. Of course the "grooming" claims go way too far, and generally speaking the right-wing has lost their fucking mind in America.

My methods are superior to any shaman. Which is why I will be teaching them in my new course.

I would rather advise people to eat real food, not factory concoctions. That's all.

Show him to me. I will sharpen my pitchfork.
