Infinity is aware. You are Infinity. If you turn your gaze backward as your "self", behind the eyes so to speak, what you see there is Infinity. Infinity is where you're looking from. Infinity has no shape or form. It's like emptiness. No-self simply means that you are not any finite definition of a self. In other words, you cannot have any finite shape. You cannot be a finite object or identity. Because your true identity is Infinity.

But I think this move will get Ukraine to join NATO faster and gain more Western alignment. But I don't think that will work. He will try to install a puppet government but it will be overthrown I think. I just don't see Putin succeeding is separating Ukraine from the West.

Because the left is sympathetic. To be unsympathetic is to be on the right.

Solution here seems simple: buy yourself a pair of boobs you love. Sometimes there is a simple solution. Plastic surgery can be overused for supercial reasons. However, when used correctly it can give someone their self-esteem back. You deserve to feel confident when you're having sex. Yes, obviously guys you sleep with will care and they will appreciate a nice pair of tits.

Putin's invasion is wrong, relatively speaking. I am not taking a neutral position. I am just trying to get you to see his perspective. Seeing his perspective does not make invading Ukraine a good move. It's probably not even a good move for Putin. I think he is overreaching on this one, and yes, Ukraine deserves assistance. With this move Putin has made himself into the bad guy. If he hadn't made this move his position would have been much more understandable and defensible. I did underestimate his willingness to invade. I thought he would be wiser than that. I don't think this invasion will achieve a better situation for Russia or even Putin. I just don't see how Russia can occupy Ukraine long-term. It's not going to work. So what is the point of all this? It's just going to piss the whole world off against Putin and it will cost many lives, with no real gain.

Buddhism is not properly understood. Buddhism actually teaches Self. God an infinite mind that dreams forever. And you are that mind dreaming being a human.

Of course a pornstar would say that. She's biased

Oh God I love these libertarian videos: Just goes to show how stuck the mind can get in stage Orange ideologies. The notion that a human can survive independent of society is a complete fiction. There has never been such a time in 300,000 years of human history. Less developed government means MORE dependence, not less. In tribal cultures humans are totally dependent on the tribe. No one is a lone libertarian wolf there. Even chimpanzees cannot survive on their own without a tribe.

I have no national identity so I have no emotional reaction to any national thing. I'm Universal. God doesn't pick sides

No. It's way beyond intuition.

Status is the most enjoyable way to get laid

No, I can't. I am speaking of a level of awakening that cannot be validated by anyone. Rupert Spira is a fiction you invented to keep yourself asleep Stop fucking around and wake up.

Sure, but that perspective is obvious and over represented. I am half Ukrainian.

Well, this might be his first big mistake. It's a rather big gamble. Let's see how it plays out for Russia long term. Probably not good for them.

I actually feel that Putin is a great leader FOR RUSSIANS. Not from the POV of the West. But for Russia he's a good leader because he is strong and gets shit done, which is what Russians generally need. Yes, he can be brutal, but Russia is a brutal place so it fits. I think Russians benefit overall from his leadership. You have to appreciate that someone far worse and less competent than Putin could be in command. Putin's job is to make sure Russia doesn't get raped geo-politically by much more economically powerful nations. He is doing a good job of that even though you might not like his methods. You have to appreciate how fucking difficult it is to run a place like Russia. It boggles my mind just thinking about it. I can barely run this damn forum. And look, average Americans don't care about maintaining America's global empire of military bases. But that's because they don't understand what the empire accomplishes. Average people are idiots. They don't have a clue what it takes to secure success for a country. So going by the view of average Russians doesn't say much. Average Russians could not lead Russia to success. It takes a strategic genius with balls of steel to do it.

Well... 1) It's very manipulative. So expect it to attract toxic girls with personality problems. 2) Bad emotions don't have to mean offending or insulting her. You don't want her too feel bad a lot of times. Sprinkle it in a little bit just for variety. But even that is pretty manipulative so be careful. Overall I suggest you stay away from emotional manipulation as much as you can. It can lead to the dark side. If you are just unfiltered, this will naturally results in ups and downs in the conversation, with nice emotional range. The point is you don't just want to be saying things to please her like the typical nice guy. Sometimes you say things that she may not like. But without offending her. For example if a girl says she's from Kentucky, rather than saying, "Oh, Kentucky, that's cool" I might deliberately say, "What the fuck is in Kentucky?" -- as though I am judging her for being backwards. See, in that case I'm being deliberately provocative and even negative in order to create some interesting emotional range. Or if she says she likes X, I might say, "I fucking hate X". Again, to create some drama. But this must be done playfully, not too seriously. You don't actually hate anything, you're just acting up a bit to create a fun dynamic. Sometimes if a girl tells me she's from some backwards state like Arkansas, I will tell her, "If we nuked your state tomorrow, no one would even care ;)" Usually this gets a good response. But sometimes a girl will get offended and it blows up the set. Offending girls is bad game, so watch out.

Certainly not now. You can read about it in a book called The Shock Doctrine. It is a form of disaster capitalism. Basically in 1991 after the USSR collapsed, US capitalists plundered and raped as much of Russia financially as they could get away with. And they got away with a lot before Putin took power in 1998. The fundamental problem is this: if Russia is weak, US capitalist interests will rape it. Putin understands this very well so he acts tough to compensate. Precisely since Russia is weak it needs to act tough.

5-MeO-DMT, 5-MeO-MALT

It's like playing with fireworks. It usually works well, but then one day you blow your finger off. 99 girls can love your joke, but all it takes is 1 girl to freak the fuck out over it and you're in trouble. Do not be too vulgar. This is bad game. You don't want to create an adversary out of the girl. You want to be on her side. Don't tease girls too hard. Girls are pretty fragile. You can easily offend them.

He isn't conscious enough to be aware of how he constructed other minds. Self-inquiry will not give you sufficient consciousness for that.

I tend to agree. However, from Russia's POV this is of little succor. If all of Europe unites against Russia, this will make Russia feel threatened. This much should have been obvious to the people building up NATO. If I get everyone in your neighborhood to ally against you, you're gonna feel pissed off and insecure. And although those countries were not forced, they probably were bribed and politically influenced. This is a subtle chess game. I think one of the biggest things Putin is pushing back against with this war is just overall US influence and meddling in the region. The US exerts very powerful soft influence around the world which makes it hard for other countries to rise up or get fair treatment. The US uses a lot of soft bullying I think.

This is a great analogy. I'm stealing that. The future is imaginary. I already said that I don't agree with Spira's position. Which is why I say he's not fully awake. Which is why I warn against the dangers of Neo-Advaita. Neo-Advaita is NOT NOT NOT the highest realization.

Be careful saying outlandish things to girls. They can easily get offended and take them the wrong way. I once told a girl that her friend looks like her daughter (because the friend looks like 16). The girl got so pissed off, thinking that I called her old. So learn to control your tongue or one day you will regret it.

Lol Defining God II -- skip to that part. Someone tell JP to read my signature

@OBEler I said it was 1000x weaker than 5-MeO. Listen more carefully to what I say.
