There is nothing wrong with using AI. Just disclose it.

Reality is Absolutely Perfect. Focus on that.

I highly doubt that self-inquiry will get a significant number of people to awaken. It will work for some, but not for most. Which is why adopted a different path. Yes.

And you are insults.

Some more than others.

It's pointless to worry about it. The tech is here. It's not going away. The only way out is through. Focus on the positives of it.

They are simple because their awakenings are shallow. You can turn awakening into a very shallow thing if you want. Then it is much easier to teach and much more appealing to ignorant spiritual rats.

I wasn't insulting cartoon movies, I was insulting the crap Disney makes, like superhero movies and Star Wars.

Well, this is one trans shooter in a sea of right-wing Incel shooters. It's not surprising that at some point some trans will do shootings. After all, they tend to be badly bullied and they often have depression and mental health problems. It's somewhat surprising there have not been more trans shooters given the lack of love they receive.

Sam occasionally has bad takes. Destiny is pretty reasonable in his takes too, his manner is just less mature. I like many of Destiny's positions. He does of a good job of cutting through some of the Progressive/Green group-think and dogma. I like that neither of them are socialists but still very progressive. The more socialist a Progressive is, the more detached from reality their takes tend to be. Both Sam and Destiny are practical.

@StarStruck Go watch a Disney movie. That's more your level.

You can develop your life significantly, but you cannot get anything you want. What these New Agers call LoA, I simply call work. You can get what you are willing to seriously work for. And even that has its limits.

You could also explore coffee table consciousness. But it's a lot less interesting than alien consciousness. Coffee table < ant < mouse < human < alien I have explored, for example, predator consciousness: what it's like to be a predator, like a tiger hunting a deer. Your consciousness is not limited to being human. That's mostly the point.

There is a lot of stuff in that book which you have not validated. Of course Oneness and Unity are true. That's not the issue. It's not distinct. God-Realization at its highest levels turns human consciousness into alien consciousness. It's not an alien lifeform on a distant planet. It's you. You break out from human consciousness into an alien version of consciousness. You are always God and there is always only you. I am NOT talking about meeting or channeling aliens. You are the alien. Right now you are stuck in human consciousness. You can break out of that to experience alien consciousness. It's hard to explain it.

You'll be be banned next if you're not careful.

That is not at all what I mean by Alien Consciousness. Be careful with those books. They are not much more than beliefs and stories. If you cannot validate it in your direct experience, you cannot consider it true. It is extremely easy to fall into self-deception with those books. Just because something sounds nice or profound does not make it true and it is not in the same realm as Awakening.

Debate skillz are not political analysis skillz.

You are not helpless. You are limited.

@Juan There are higher priorities than your profits.

It varies. Sometimes I get heavy nausea, other times not. Yes

1) Obviously not everyone is a rapist. 2) They are barbarians mostly because of the situation they have been forced into. They are not evil people per se, but in the Russian military if you refuse to follow their barbaric orders your own men will shoot you in head. You will get orders to launch a rocket into a schoolhouse, and if you don't follow it you're gonna get in trouble. 3) They are literally emptying prisons in Russia and sending murderers, rapists, and psychopaths into the front line. The war crimes happening in Ukraine are nuts. These Russians have no respect, honor, or professionalism. These are not professional soldiers. Which is why I call them barbarians.

It largely doesn't because the mind is a very powerful beast and people do not automatically gain political insight, knowledge, and expertise simply through enlightenment, meditation, or spiritual practice. Politics is its own specific domain. The mind is filled with so much bias and cultural conditioning that no amount of enlightenment will fix it. And I don't think Langan has even had enlightenment. What I notice is that most spiritual people have bad politics, because spirituality does to teach anyone how to think, it just teaches them a set of dogmatic practices and spiritual paradigms. But that is not the same as a deep study and critical thinking about how complex social systems work. Having good politics requires thinking very independently and originally. But most spiritual schools teach people to stop thinking, not systems thinking. To have good politics requires a deep study and critical study of history and social dynamics. No amount of meditation or mystical experience will get you that. For the same reason spiritual people are bad at running a large business. The Buddha would not know how to manage a company like Walmart.

I don't think a TikTok ban is unreasonable.

I'm not experienced with it, but from what I've researched it's basically a lot of intense visualization and concentration exercises. Like, imagine spending 4 hours per day, for 10 years, visualizing intensely that your fingers can light a match on fire. And then if you do that intensely enough maybe one day you will be able to do it. Although there's no guarantees so you could just end up wasting a lot of your life energy on nonsense.

It's all imaginary. This is a trap. You have to stop thinking about the awakenings of others. Just focus on your own.
