Many people use it responsibly and even experience health benefits. It's bad for some.

Anyone can win the lottery, but what I teach is how to hit the jackpot reliably.

Dude, chill out. Lots of people do weed without my saying anything. And they will keep doing it regardless of what I say.

One bong hit. Weed hits me harder than 5-MeO-DMT. Don't ask me why.

All that's really required is that you deeply want it.

The nice thing about my teachings is that they are 100% empirical. You can easily test them out using the methods I suggested. It's a hell of a lot faster than testing out Buddhism.

Well, then I got nothing to teach you. Doesn't change my position.

Now you're getting it

I never said I didn't stand on the shoulders of giants. Of course I used all the spiritual teachings and teachers to transcend it all. New does not mean you aren't influenced by various sources.

I did one hit of weed, tripped for 16 hours. Longest single trip in my life. One of my deepest too. I was floating is Absolute Infinity for like 6 hrs. Could not walk straight for 2 days after.

You guys have no clue how deep this self-deception goes. What I am pointing to cannot be explained to you with any words. I'm not just talking about idealism or Buddhism or any of that. Even though it all roughly sounds the same. If you want to get a sense of what I am pointing to, do 300 trips of 5-MeO-MALT, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT, and deconstruct absolutely every spiritual idea and teaching you've ever heard, including all your cessations, jnanas, and the notion that you have ever slept or meditated. What I am telling you is that meditation is imaginary. You've never meditated a day in your life, you sneaky bastard. Or don't. I don't care what you do.

You imagined all spirituality and every spiritual teacher as part of a trick to keep yourself asleep. I am a figment of your mind, yes. You are not a figment of mind, you are Mind. You didn't, but nevertheless you did not question your ideas of awakening deeply enough. All of that is a fiction you created to keep yourself dreaming. There never was a Peter Ralston. You made him up

You can become so conscious that you'll realize that this planet and all the humans on it are just a figment of your mind.

Truth is real, and it's the only thing that exists. But consciousness does not stop there.

Cute. But you are trapped in Buddhist group-think. Remember, if you believe Buddhism is the end-all-be-all, that's what will become true for you, because that is your dream. ALL of Buddhism, is just a dream within a dream. Good luck escaping it.

You are God, and you can awaken deeper than anyone has ever awoken. Imagine a new awakening that no one has ever had. Yup. You can have that, if you're serious. Don't just assume that there's nothing new or original. How would you know that? That's just an assumption. This stuff goes a lot deeper than any teacher has told you. Consider the possibility that all Buddhist meditative attainments are just fictions within God's Infinite Mind This doesn't make the insights untrue per se, it just makes them less than what is possible to realize.

When you truly awaken you will know why it is tops. All experience is Absolute Truth. But awakening doesn't end with that realization. Truth is relatively easy to awaken to. But there are much higher awakenings beyond realizing what Truth is.

Whatever the Buddha may or may not have achieved, it is obvious that modern day Buddhists ain't Awake. Especially the Western ones. Which shows you just how inadequate it is. If 40 years of daily meditation cannot Awaken you, what's the point?

If it works, it works because you've spent years rewiring the neurons in your brain. Yes, weightlifting works, however you will never lift as much as I can with a forklift. It is the mark of wisdom to know your own limits.

@Michael Paul God is trying its damnedest to awaken you, but you keep resisting and rejecting.

It's simple, you're not taking enough action. Health conditions can be very debilitating if they get bad enough, so you can't always just act your way out of them, unlike other kinds of problems. All success assumes a foundation of good health.

No. Awakening will force you to rethink your whole life.

It's hard to say. In some ways it's harder but in some ways it's easier. There are so many opportunities online these days that make business much easier than it used to be. Breaking out used to be quite challenging because media was much less democratic. The 90s were amazing opportunity-wise, but don't look backwards with envy, so much opportunity lies ahead. Pick a new emerging field and get to work. Tech, software, art, AI, games, VR worlds, psychedelics, spirituality, etc. have so much potential. Income inequality really only affects people with standard salary or hourly wage jobs. It does not apply to creatives and entrepreneurs. If you generate massive value and innovation you will make lots of money.

Of course! If you were born an ant you'd be screwed Hard to say. I'm pretty glad I discovered them only later in my 30s because they would have interfered with starting my business and building out the necessary infrastructure for Actualized.org

That's all good, but I don't consider it Awakening. Awakening is a very distinct state.
