Ask her to tell you her life story, as she sees it from her POV, from scratch. And just listen to it without commentary. If she showed you love, communicate back to her that you received it, recognize it, and are thankful for it.

Yes, but if you're gonna take on the government you gotta do it very wisely and strategically, otherwise you'll just get your ass kicked and nothing accomplished.

Nice!

Not at all.

It's a very practical option for bootstrapping yourself. Although ultimately you want to position yourself in a way where you are not getting paid per hour. It's hard to win at that game.

Tough situation. No sense in getting yourself killed over this. Godspeed.

Interesting. That's prolly what happened to me. A New Age girl talked me into it.

Oh God, what monster have I created.

You can realize Absolute Infinity and then break through to even higher orders of Infinity beyond it. As impossible as that sounds.

Why not use mind to create great universe?

FYI, every deeper awakening is brand new, cause you're the only one having it. If you could not discover new, higher orders of Infinity, Infinity would not be Infinite.

Yes, self-deception is always possible. But so is Awakening. Just read the comment right below yours and you see the silliness I was refering to. You say I bash Buddhism yet you Buddhist defenders cannot even render a proper articulation of Truth. So you embarass yourselves. You guys simply aren't conscious of what Truth is. Because you follow bad Buddhist group-think. We've explained all this before and you're still stuck on it. You think you're being clever here but you ain't. Anyhow, I'm not gonna argue with you about it. Meditate all you want, reach all the Jhanas you want, dream all the cessations you want -- but it will not Awaken you.

Realistically bro, just stop being cheap and buy her the drink. If you wanna be cheap then tell her you'll be splitting the bill. Both ways will work, but way #1 is classier. Especially if you sense that you'll see her again. Being too cheap is not a good look for a high-value man. You can try something a bit sneaky like: "I'm paying for drinks so you're giving me a back massage later." To get her more invested.

You skill is the bottleneck when it comes to making $$$ coding. So yeah, up those skillz.

People do get addicted to weed. Some.

That might explain it. I'd never done weed before about 150 5-MeO trips. Impossible to know for sure now.

What did you become conscious of?

I hear ya man. I've struggled with fatigue and health stuff for years. It's a real bitch. Can't help ya cause every health situation is unique. See my video on Requisite Variety on my blog. That's my best answer for ya.

Reality is an Absolute Self-Deception. You navigate it by realizing that everything is your mind reflected back at you because there's nothing else.

That's not how Truth works. You are trying to turn Truth into a concept. Truth is whatever is presently occurring. Truth has nothing to do with "unchanging". This is a very common Buddhist mistake. It is. The ego mind is incapable of the depths of imagination I am talking about. Mere belief is not enough. You have to reach a level of imagination as deep as the one imagining the physical laws. You are not conscious enough to unimagine the physical laws. But the physical laws are imaginary. The reason a flat-earther is wrong is because his own mind is actually imagining the Earth as round, even though is ego mind believes the Earth is flat. So he's wrong simply because he's wrong about his own imagination. But in point of fact the whole Earth only exists in your Mind.

There is no barometer. Your mind is Absolute. Whatever you imagine becomes Absolute Truth. If you imagine that reality is made out of little hairy dicks, that's what becomes absolutely true.

@bambi Dude, Ingram teaches all those Jhanas. That's not God-Realization. Your cessations are all imaginary. Consciousness does not cease. You are swimming in a Buddhist dream.

Lol, keep trippin'

I think it's time to wrap this up.
