Fully understood

You can split your sense of self into literally infinite sub-selves. Imagine very human who has ever lived. Now notice that all those human selves are part of your self (since you are imagining them). Therefore every self is literally inside your own mind. God is just a case of infinite multiple personality disorder. You can split your consciousness into as many sub-parts as you want.

Very good! You're finally starting to understand. But there is much deeper. Yes, FEAR is the obstacle. Your fear of losing your mind is what prevents you from fully accessing God. And I don't mean that it is safe to do so. You might actually lose your mind. But that is the how this game works. Any fear you have of experiencing any state of consciousness must necessarily hold you back from fully realizing what you are, because you are all possible states of consciousness. So if you fear going insane, then you are resisting insanity. Maybe that's good for your survival on Earth, but it isn't the highest truth. So the only thing that's necessary for Truth is facing all your deepest fears. But I offer not safety guarantees if you choose to do so. You might kill yourself in the process, and it is this which you're really afraid of. And there is guarantee it won't happen. So now you can appreciate why accessing God is so challenging.

A) There are simply few women here. It's mostly guys. B) That's not the symmetry. The symmetry takes place at the level of wanting intimacy and so forth. That's is the woman's version of sex. And you ladies complain about it plenty.

YOU are one and the other. You guys need to drop this notion that there is no enlightenment because there is no one to become enlightened. There is YOU! YOU become enlightened! YOU ARE enlightenment.

@Insane butterfly It isn't a function of training. Some folks just born with bigger muscles. I wish I could take credit for my psychedelic prowess, but in all honesty I can't.

@BadHippie I have nothing more to add to the absurdity your own words reveal.

@I have no clue There's always more

What goes around comes around. Don't act all surprised when you get the same treatment from your man that you give me.

Imagine that 365 days of year. Congrats, now you know what it's like to be a man.

Not all Green is anti-vax. I would say that's a misguided Green. A healthy Green will be pro science and pro vax. Current gov response is Orange/Green. But not the excessive hippie anti-corpo Green. Biden's response is very correct and about as good as one can expect. Red was basically the Trump response: how do I make sure this pandemic doesn't make me look bad and lose power. Red will not give a damn about thousands of people dying as long as Red is safe. I don't see much difference. Except Yellow will see a more systemic bigger picture and perhaps better understand the epistemic challenges of the culture wars. Yellow is not going to magically make half the country stop being stupid. But we know the vaccines are highly effective. If Yellow cannot see that, Yellow is blind. It's all relative of course. The funny thing about that is, if you don't have truth, you won't have health, since false health isn't really health. One of the things about doing lots of this work is that you very quickly see through nonsense. None of this needs to be known. In the battlefield of life action demands to be taken with imperfect information. The problem is you are misusing skepticism without being aware that you are doing so. So you think you're being clever but you're not. You just lack a basic understanding of how life-threatening decisions get made. When your kid is about to stick his hand on a hot stove, you don't reason or skepticize, you slap his hand away. The state is the parent, the citizens are the children. Children without supervision get themselves killed.

What more technique do you need on top of taking mushrooms? A rain dance?

The reactions would be wildly different. Some people would realize God, some would go insane, and most would just shurg it off as a fun experience but nothing more.

1 scoop for me is full God-mode. It's sad to see most of ya'll need so many scoops.

When everyone around you is insane, sanity seems like insanity

Not in this lifetime, doc

I think you underestimate their convictions. They certainly will not do it. Because they believe doing it would hurt their community. There is no way you're going to convince my holistic doctor to take the Covid vaccine. He's drunk the Green Kool-Aid. And he's a real doctor who sees patients every day! And he's not a stupid doctor, he's one of the best doctors I've ever worked with. These problems of epistemology and perspective are way deeper than they first appear. Being a doctor is not good enough to avoid such problems.

Look at Sadhguru's actions more than his words. Does he look like a guy without a clear purpose?

Actually you can, and plenty are. The whole suspicion of vaccines started in hippie progressive Green communities where people want to be "natural" and organic. And it has some validity there because traditional vaccines are not healthy due to heavy metals. But then it spread into right-wing Blue/Orange circles to feed their anti-government and freedumb ideology. So actually a Green thing has been hijacked by idiots who are not conscious enough to even care about holistic health. Those same MAGA people who cry about the vaccine will shovel McDonalds poison into their pie holes with reckless abandon. My holistic doctor is very anti vaccines and he urged me not to get it. He's otherwise a great doctor, way more knowledgeable than regular doctors. I would put him at Green. But Green ain't Yellow. What you must understand about anti-vaxxers is that from their POV, their opposition to the vaccine IS pro-community. Their minds are just twisted. Blue/Orange and Green anti-vaxxers both feel like their anti-vax stance is them defending the community, but for different reasons. Blue/Orange is defending the community for freedumb from tyranny. Green is defending the community from unnatural man-made toxins. There is also a resentment of large corporations from both sides.

Most of my experiences in Mexico were shitty. Once I had a moth fly in my ear and got stuck in there, buzzing around. Fuck Mexico. But, hey, I could be biased

Dude, your self-bias is obnoxious. Men have controlled women since the dawn of civilization. And still do.

@Raze Shapiro just doesn't want to give up his man-milk

Are you conscious of Infinity/Absolute Truth or not? That is the criterion. Of course there are many levels of depth to this consciousness. But there has to be some bare minimum level of this consciousness, which 99.9999% of people simply lack.

My vision gets a bit wavy if I meditate a lot. This is normal and even desirable. It's a neat effect and shows the fluid nature of consciousness.

Oneness being true does not mean Oneness is conscious of Oneness. Just like the Earth being round does not mean that creatures on the Earth know it is round. Does an ant know the Earth is round? Knowing the Earth is round requires going meta on it, seeing it from a distance so to speak. The ant is too close to the Earth to realize it's roundness. P.S. Don't fool yourself. You are not fully enlightened.
