Leo Gura replied to Juan's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I'm not really interested in emptiness. Of course it's a facet, but it's so obvious and rudimentary it's uninteresting to me. I'm more interested in, for example, realizing that your entire life is just a dream within God's Mind. And then understanding what this God's Mind is up to. Have you even considered what the movement of Consciousness is for? Why are you dreaming? Why are you human? For what purpose? For example, I've become conscious that our entire universe is just a molecule within an alien God-Mind that exists on a higher dimension, which is using all the conscious experience of the universe to fuel it's own intelligence process, in order to understand itself deeper and accessing ever higher categories of metaphysical Love. No Buddhist has a clue about such things. What no Buddhist understands is that Consciousness is engaged in a process of ever-deeper self-understanding and Intelligence. The movement of the whole universe is there to raise the universe's intelligence of itself, in order to achieve Omniscience. There are dimensions of Consciousness so advanced and so alien that no human can even begin to imagine it. None of these things are understood by Buddhists or nondualists. Does your Buddhist understand what alien consciousness is? No! He has no clue. Does your Buddhist understand what Love is? No! Not even a little. At best he has some crap human idea of Love. That's not any kind of proper understanding of what LOVE is metaphysically. -

It goes way deeper than which terms you use. What I look at is not the terms per se, but one's fundamental grasp of what Consciousness is. Does the person understand how it works, why it exists, what its highest levels are, how the mind constructs reality, etc? Buddhism and nonduality tends to flatten all this rich terrain down into a 1-D plane. And it is a distinctly human sort of plane. -
Leo Gura replied to Juan's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes, sure, but what I'm saying goes entire orders deeper than that. People who speak in these platitudes: Form, formlessness, emptiness, etc. It's clear to me they have not truly confronted what Consciousness is. No, my problem is that these guys fundamentally do not understand what Consciousness/God is. They understand less than they let on. If they understood more I would be happy with them. The stuff these teach is anti-understanding. That's what pisses me off about it. They have actually invented a clever system to get people to stop trying to understand Consciousness. It's extremely sneaky. You probably don't even know its happening to you as you learn from these teachers. You just assume they are guiding you towards the highest and that all roads lead to same place. -
Leo Gura replied to Juan's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes. And it took me a long time to realize how foolish I was for blindly trusting these Buddhists, as if they are some authorities on the subject of Consciousness. Of course. I am pointing out the traps and limits of the tool. -
You def want to integrate that. But then go way beyond it. You definitely want the ability to be serious, grounded, and ruthless when a situation calls for it. The problem is that such advice can be badly misused. And the healthy version of it is much different than what Tate does/teaches. If you use this advice to scam and cheat people, you done fucked up. At least I can respect JP for not being a scammer.

I'm not just talking about some one divide and conquer technique. The whole Buddhist paradigm is attempting to reduce Consciousness to something like emptiness. It's fundamentally wrong and it does not work for understanding what Consciousness really is. Consciousness is not really emptiness, and you cannot understand what it is by silencing your mind, or any of the techniques Shinzen teaches. None of your Buddhist enlightenments will get you a deep understanding of what Consciousness is and how it works. -
The Indian brand of Modafinil, called Modalert, is made by a big Indian pharma company and it comes in sealed foil packaging. Each individual pill is sealed. It's pretty legit looking so you don't need to test it. It would be harder to fake that than to sell you the real pills. These pills are only overpriced in the US.

Women are too picky? This is so silly. If anything, women are not picky enough. They sleep with the worse characters. If I had a daughter I would teach her to be pickier. If you're a shady character, you don't deserve sex with my daughter.

There is no limit to how strong your inner game and self-confidence can be. Your own limiting beliefs about yourself are basically the limit, and your lack of self-love. If you want the best inner game, you must basically fall in love with yourself at the metaphysical level. Then no girl will ever faze you then.
-
Psychedelics moreso. I used psychedelics to build a rock solid inner game. Any insecurity about myself is gone and my state is much more consistent. I have better inner game than many coaches I know. Because while they were chasing girls, I was realizing myself as God.

Changing the Constitution is extremely difficult. And even then, there would be great disagreement over how to implement it at a nuts and bolts level. No one will want to change the Constitution if it means their side loses power. People are not that stupid. They know when a change results in them losing power. And in this case we are talking about a permanent loss of massive power, in the billions and trillions.

Def Canada. You can buy anything there legally pretty much

I did not read his report, I was just speaking generally about Erowid reports. There is always a chance that you will have a bad trip. Although I've almost never had one on 5-MeO-DMT in over 200 trips. But obviously this will vary from person to person. You shouldn't draw any conclusions from one guy's one bad trip.

Take test here: http://openpsychometrics.org/tests/LSRP.php Post results below. I scored: Primary: 1.3/5 -- (a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations) Secondary: 2/5 -- (rule breaking and a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behavior)

That's true. But then again, why would excellence ever be something that you get from being mainstream? The mainstream is not designed for excellence in anything, it is designed to be the lowest common denominator that scales to 100s of millions. Banging super-models is never going to scale, therefore that kind of advice will never be mainstream. Exactly. It's not just insane, it's impossible. But Andrew Tate's advice is even less scalable. Imagine if all the guys were recruits girls into web porn cam businesses and taking their passports. It's not like Tate or his fans give a damn about scalability. The only scalable advice is to stop playing videos, move to a bigger city, go socialize and date, and work on raising your value as a man by developing yourself. But this requires serious work. Few people are interested in that, they want some flashy shortcut.

1) It isn't there job. 2) There is an endless supply of self-help material available to appeal to every kind of person.

Leo Gura replied to How to be wise's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
No. It's not that easy. The government should not be wasting it's time jumping on fringe and speculative online theories. That would make the government way to easy to manipulate for partisan gain. Which is exactly what this lab leak stuff is about. It has nothing to really do with public health or the like, it's about scoring political points. The FBI should be not engaged in that kind of childish crap. You guys are not actually serious about governance, you're just looking at this whole thing from an irresponsible personal perspective where you want to see some side win and validate your worldview. That is not how governance actually works. Which is why you keep misunderstanding mainstream, moderate government bureaucrats. They have serious work to do, the kind which you cannot even fathom. -
Leo Gura replied to How to be wise's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
It's not embarrassing at all. The government and media is working perfectly in this case. Fringe theories which have the potential to be weaponized in partisan and political manner and harm millions of people with paranoia should not be mainstreamed and legitimized by government or big media. Those theories can surface on their own once they gather sufficient credibility through overwhelming accumulation of evidence. This case is a perfect example of why it's good to be conservative with your theories and epistemology. And by "conservative" I don't mean that right-wing populist culture-war trash. I mean truly conservative. Conservative means: You don't make a claim about reality unless you got overwhelming evidence for it. There was never any overwhelming solid evidence in the early days of a lab leak. It was all just speculation. The evidence is still weak 2 years later. The FBI is doing an excellent job, despite all the online fools crying about bias. -
You can find plenty of articles on major news sites about the problem with single men and their inability to date. Do they offer you an actual solution? Of course not. But that's not their job. It is not CNN's job to get your laid or turn you into a proper man. CNN's job is to report major breaking daily news. It is not a self-help channel. If you want to turn yourself into a strong man, all those resources are easily available online. No one is stopping you but you.

1) That is a very deep and serious systemic issue which is one of the hardest aspects of government to change. 2) It's a rather dry and technical topic which only wonks understand. It's not a culture war issue which riles up the reptilian brain. 3) Serious solutions to this issue require deep systems thinking which almost no voter is capable of. And not even many politicians. So even if they want to get money out of politics that's not enough, you need to actually have realistic plan of how you're going to do it. 4) Both parties are captured by the big money, so both sides have a lot of incentive to just look the other way on this topic. It's the elephant in the room which no one wants to eat because it doesn't taste good.

Many of the people who post on Erowid are deeply immature, irresponsible degenerates. The bottom of human society and psychological health. Traumatized addicts with miserable lives and no metaphysical or spiritual foundation. They take huge doses in very irresponsible ways. Of course 5-MeO-DMT will terrorize them. You shouldn't take 5-MeO-DMT unless you enjoy having your entire reality deconstructed in 10 minutes. Most humans would not enjoy that. You have to be psychologically primed for it. I find most Erowid trip reports to be extremely misleading. If you think your trips will be as on Erowid, you're in for a surprise. It's best not to take anyone's trip reports too seriously. Just proceed with caution on your own and try small doses on yourself to see how the chemical actually makes you feel. If I listened to the trip reports found online, I would not have found many of the best chemicals I have found.

Leo Gura replied to Juan's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Hehe.... It's way more than pure practice. It is an entire worldview and not only that, it will actually prevent you from reaching the highest levels of Consciousness. You will not reach God-Consciousness via any kind of reductive system like Shinzen's. Consciousness is non-reducible. You cannot understand God by breaking your field of experience down into pieces and chunks as Shinzen attempts to do. This is the mistake of materialism all over again in the guise of Buddha's authority. Judge for yourself, but what I'm saying is that cessation has nothing to do with Awakening. Have as many cessations as you want, in the end you will still not understand God. Cessation != understanding. And nothing beats understanding. You should not trust any human. Seek the truth independently for yourself. Consider all these humans are just tricksters testing you with traps and games. Your job is to outwit them all, not to subscribe to any one. As soon as you stop thinking independently, you fail. - - - - I am working on a course that will once and for all explain how to reach God Consciousness and completely deconstruct Buddhism, Vedanta, nonduality, and absolutely all human spiritual teachings. Until you reach Alien God Consciousness, Insanity, and Infinite Kinds of Love, including Alien Love. And ultimately Omniscience. -
Leo Gura replied to BlessedLion's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
If you ever fully Awaken what you'll realize is that all these people were just trickster characters you created in order to really test your own capacity for seeking out the truth for yourself. It is actually much better to Awaken to Love on your own rather than be told the answer by Ralston or the like. If I am most charitable to Ralston, he told you Love isn't real just so you could discover otherwise. At least that's exactly what happened with me. -
Leo Gura replied to Juan's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I know. But that doesn't matter. You have to properly use your mind in the first place. This line of logic is nonsense: "Well, I tried a bit of psychedelics, and they didn't do much for me, therefore I know better than you." -
Fresh & Fit? Lol. I don't even consider that media. CNN runs articles about Incels.
