When you teach millions of people via the internet, relational closeness is precisely not possible. Notice that relational closeness only works because its scale is tiny. Otherwise you would quickly burn out trying go save every lost soul in the world. You can have emotional closeness or scale, but not both. Some teachers specialize in small scale one on one personalized work. Don't expect that from me. If you want that, find a therapist or guru. And, BTW, you will pay them thousands for that.

That's not what dumb means in this case.

My role is to provide pure insights and understanding, not to personally counsel anyone. If you don't like that or want me to take on some broader role, then my work is not for you. My role is not that of a one on one guru. This should be obvious given the scale at which I teach. I get thousands of messages from people, many of them unhinged and nonsensical. I am not going to be guiding all these people one on one. And I have no moral qualms about it because that's not my role. My insights are offered on an as-is basis, like reading a philosophy book. The book promises you no support. Do with the book what you will. And if you can't handle that, stop reading philosophy books. Read the disclaimers on the Forum Guidelines. Those aren't just legal disclaimers, I really mean them. If this feels cold and unspiritual to you, consider that I am close to burn out just from doing what I currently do. So there will not be some personalized support for you here. You are on your own with my work. I am happy to get this clarified so you guys have the right expectations and no illusions about what I offer here. So I am very unfront about this. This work is 100% on you. If you decide to kill yourself, I will not come to save you. So proceed carefully. I am not your emotional support system. I only provide insights.

He's a celerity tho. What do you expect him to do with his money? Give it all away? That wouldn't be socialism but more like saintliness. Him buying a Taycan is like you buying the cheapest car there is.

I don't really want to hassle of organizing meditation retreats. Meditate solo. You don't need to meditate in a herd. My meditation is getting very simple and bare bones. Just sit and focus on the fact that I am God. Health problems have kept me from doing yoga consistently. I also try to meditate more in everyday life, like if I am cooking, driving, or even if I'm out gaming. Gaming has been surprisingly meditative for me as I have to completely shut off my mind when I game. I try to game from a state of no-mind.

Not sure but you should have already been vaccinated against earlier variants so don't use omicron as an excuse.

Good reporting. Yeah, it is concerning. What would be nice is if they compared heavy metals in commercial juices vs juicing apples or carrots or oranges yourself. We need much better data and research on this.

Covid produces a lot of side-effects. Focusing on myocarditis alone is not the right measure because it's not holistic. What you really need to do is tally up all the side-effects people tend to get from Covid vs the vaccine. And if you do that you'll see that the side-effects of Covid are much worse and more numerous -- by orders of magnitude.

No That's cause they haven't spent their entire lives contemplating such things whereas I have. I'm also much more sensitive to psychedelics than normal people. 2-3x more sensitive. I haven't done one in a while due to Covid and health issues. But I wanna do some more. They would be much more powerful for me now. It works the opposite of what you suggest. It's not that meditation retreat increase my psychedelics but that psychedelics increase my meditation retreats. At least for me.

Why do big tits work even when you know she's using them on you?

If you say so.

It's like playing with a dog or child. You don't try to be all smart or sophisticated about it. Playing with her is what gets you laid. Being serious is what gets you friendzoned. They don't call guys "players" for nothing Game just boils down to playful leading.

It's foolish to take Ivermectin when vaccines and boosters are so effective. Evidence on Ivermectin is spotty.

You have been given tons of warnings about the dangers of psychedelics. Don't act dumb. You know the dangers.

If you are raising kundalini you should be aware of the many issues and dangers that come with that and you should already have prepared methods and resources for how to deal with it. I have a book on my book list that specifically talks about the dangers of kundalini and offers various solutions and troubleshooting strategies. If you are doing Kriya yoga, most Kriya yoga books warn about the dangers of raising kundalini too rapidly. The "misuse" in this case is simply going into the process too naively and not taking the risks and warnings seriously. And also not having enough knowledge and research for what to do when you start to unravel. For example, if your kundalini starts bothering you, obviously you should have enough knowledge and intelligence to then go see a dedicated kundalini expert who can give you suggestions and guide you through the difficulties. Instead of just letting it spiral out of control to the point of suicide. Likewise, if you start having signs of mental illness or instability then you should have enough intelligence to hire a therapist or professional for guidance. I expect this kind of intelligence as a default from people doing serious spiritual work.

Nuance! You cannot just simplistically be your own authority when it comes to a novel virus which has unknown effects on you. I mean... you can. But it could kill you. Science exists precisely for this reason. You can't personally test every dangerous thing based on your "gut feeling". Your gut feelings are often wrong and self-deceptive, as in this case. In this case your gut feeling has been distorted by years of vaccine fear-mongering and unscientific reporting of cases. Your gut feeling can tell you that flying is dangerous so you drive inside. But the science shows that driving is more dangerous than flying. That's what is happening with these vaccines. The fear has been completely overblown by social media and people with delusional political agendas. But that does not mean there are zero risks. The risk is simply lower than Covid itself. When your gut tells you "I have a bad feeling about this vaccine" your reason should kick in and say, "Wait a minute. I've been consuming vaccine fear-porn for 2 years and the science clearly shows that risks are higher for side-effects if I don't get vaccinated. Therefore my gut feeling is wrong here and I should get vaccinated even though I might not feel like it." This is true intelligence. If you didn't have any serious side-effects from the first 2 doses, the risk of a 3rd dose is extremely low and certainly worth the reward.

You are confusing matters of survival with truth. My episode about bias was very advanced and existential. It's purpose was not to help you survive but to get you to understand truth. Truth does not care about your survival, comfort, or convenience. Whether you can or cannot remove all biases is irrelevant. The insistence on removing all biases is itself a bias. The seeking of "the best life possible" is a bias. The seeking of things practical is a bias. All these biases and more distort your perception and understanding of reality. Consciousness at its highest level has no biases. This is true regardless of whether you do anything with it or not.

I am not your babysitter. You have been warned about the dangers of spiritual work. What you do with spirituality is all on you. You can use it wisely or foolishly. You can use it for love or for evil. This is completely on you. If you decide to harm your body, I will certainly not be taking responsibility for that. I have said repeatedly that that has nothing to do with what I teach. If you are suicidal, seek professional mental help. I am not going to guide you out of your suicide nor mental health issues. It should be obvious that my spiritual teachings are DIY -- Do It Yourself.

Myocarditis risks are higher from getting Covid unvaccinated vs the vaccine. It's all relative. You have no idea what Covid might have done to you. This is why statistical studies are done in medicine. You don't decide to take the vaccine in retrospect, you decide based on relative statistical risks. Even if the vaccine kills you, it was still the right choice to take it based on known data.

Selfish much? Your vote doesn't entitle you to any more than white votes.

It makes no sense to you cause you're biased.

Here's your problem: You don't have a juicy enough reason to be getting out of bed. If you did, you could barely sleep. When your life has no purpose you have no reason to get out of bed, and you will even die sooner. Because why live? Your life is pointless and so literally your body will shut down sooner.

Of course it's demoralizing when you constantly tell yourself that nothing you do matters because billions of people will still be suffering no matter what you do. Stop thinking such demoralizing thoughts and you will stop being demoralized. Make it your goal to escape wage slavery. This will be a meaningful goal for you. In general, cut out all the negative thinking you do. Focus on being creative and constructive. Yes, all reasons to live are like chasing women. Meaning is the chasing of things. If you want a truly meaningless life in the good sense, then pursue spirituality. The problem is that you're attaching negative meaning to things in an unconscious way.

Of course you can have ideas about systems at Orange and below. "Systems thinking" in the way we use that term is more about having a systemic view of reality and aligning your life with that view. It's not merely about reading some books about systems. As an analogy, a Blue or Orange person can read a book about God and learn all the theory about God, but that doesn't mean they have any living experience of God. You can easily turn God into a theory you study as an academic. That does not mean you are spiritual.

The scariest thing you can encounter is yourself
