Welcome to strange loops It's a feature, not a bug. Your body is not giving you anything. The body is actually imagined by the Mind. And Mind has nothing beneath it. There is only Mind. Mind = Consciousness In your dreams, the body is as imaginary as all the other objects. Dreaming is not done by a body, the body is a dream! -

Of course. God is omniscience. -

I know people who claim to actively experience millions of parallel lives/worlds. But infinite consciousness is beyond even that. When you become conscious of pure Infinity it's so conscious it is conscious of every possibile thing that could ever be imagined, and it looks like a singularity of pure infinite interconnectedness. Every object/idea exists there as once, sort of what you might imagine the universe was like before the Big Bang. It's a pure, Platonic realm of consciousness that is the source of all the dreams. Don't get stuck chasing multiple lives. Go for pure Infinity. -

It is completely obvious and self-evident. Consciousness knows itself by being itself. That's what consciousness is: a self-aware substance. It's basically the same way you tell when you woke up from a dream. -
Funny, I played it over the weekend. Cool concept, but I found it too tedious.

This problem is very good. This is an important aspect of your spiritual journey. For you, a huge part of realizing God & Love will be coming face to face with the full implication of what Infinite Love actually means. How difficult do you think it is for God to take full responsibility for creating animal suffering? You see? This will prevent you from realizing yourself as God, and God as Love, because you are unable to accept this shadow side of yourself. THIS IS THE WORK: accepting the fullness of Love. This is good. This shows you have an innate spiritual connection to consciousness. You're not seeing the full, infinite picture. How can God create life without death, beautiful without ugly? How can there be creation without destruction. Don't forget, animals are vicious in the wild to each other. That's survival 101. Corruption IS survival! That beautiful bird you nursed had to kill thousands of bugs to maintain it beauty. And then karma killed it. << THAT is the higher Beauty of the whole cycle. As Ken Wilber once put it, enlightenment means you feel deeper, it hurts more, and it matters less. Doing the spiritual work will help your mind reconcile these things. Realize that you're being biased, and that God/Love is the realization that all biases are imaginary and illusory. In other words, realize that survival, corruption, suffering, death, destruction, and callousness are all a necessary part of Absolute Love. Your love for animals is good, but it is biased and limited. Spirituality will teach you how to expand that love to include EVERYTHING that could exist. Don't just love animals, love the entire cycle of life. Don't just love the beautiful, love the ugly, love the selfish, love the corrupt. See it all as one thing. Love until it kills you (you = the ego, not physical harm to the body). In short, realize that EVERYTHING is Love. Then you will look upon the whole world as you do that beautiful bird. It's not enough to become one with the good parts of reality, you must become one with the bad too. That's where the work is really challenging. -

Locked for being a low quality topic of conservation. -
Yes! Flake rate is typically very high. Which is why PUAs tend to push for same night lays. You should also get in the habit of screening. Screen for boyfriends, screen her desire to date.

There should be enough pre-trip anxiety which shows a healthy respect for the substance. But it should not be uncontrollable fear that grips your mind. Just some mild hesitation due to your recognition of the seriousness of this work. Overall your mood should be, "I'm read. Let's do this." If you don't feel ready, you're not ready, so don't trip. -
Starting a biz that generates money consistently is really hard. You cannot ever just depend on such a plan to pay your monthly bills. It usually takes several years before a biz becomes profitable. Meanwhile you got rent to pay. You get a job which pays your bills, then you can work on your biz plan on the side. Don't quit your day job until you have a proven method of earning money otherwise. Or you have a large savings to live off of.

100ug of LSD is about 1g to 1.5g of mushrooms. -
A urine test is not done during a 3 day cycle. A urine test is a single massive doses done specifically for the purpose of the urine test. You take an entire day's worth of DMSA in one shot and then collect the urine for the next 3-6 hours. Follow instructions in your urine test kit precisely or your test will be useless.

Andy Cutler's book is mostly all you need.

@Twega When have I ever said that direct experience alone is enough? Direct experience is king. But it is not enough by itself. Use more nuance. Again, I have always been a user of and supporter of science and multiple sources of knowledge. Have you seen how many books I've read? How many sources I've cited?

Be careful hitching your life or work to such cultural fads. Rather than chasing pipe-dreams, stick to doing your work well. Your life's work should not hinge on any kind of fad.

Only up to the point where you can handle it. If your trips are giving you so much anxiety that you are afraid to trip again, you are actually retarding your own growth. That is like giving a 1st grader a trigonometry problem to solve. It will not help him learn math, it will just make him so frustrated he hates math so much he never does it again. -
Biden is a status quo establishment guy. That was his whole campaign message. That's what people voted for. There were no surprises. It's not that he's weak per se, he's just not somehow who's gonna fight the system. I doubt it. Progressives like TYT and Secular Talk love to frame the situation as though going into Washington to fight will make everyone capitulate, but I think the reality is much starker. Those tactics aren't often used because they probably won't work. People in the minority cannot effectively dictate policy. And Progressives are definitely a minority of the population, despite whatever polls Progressives love to cite. Policy polls aren't how people vote. Intimidation is not a very effective way for leading people.

Good old fashioned Blue. This is why we employ Spiral Dynamics. To quickly sort through this kind of shit without wasting our mental resources trying to understand him.

Those are niggly details that I'm not too concerned about. People will work out the numbers when creating the laws. There is no sense in arguing over such minutia. We just gotta worry about the big picture: wealth tax. 2%-5% is a good starting point. And eliminate capital gains tax discounts and other loopholes. I wouldn't bet on it. Any raises Biden does will be negligible. It is not sufficient just to raise the personal income tax rates. Structural tax reform is needed and Biden is not going to do it. -

Keep in mind that my videos are about a lot more than awakening. There are insights my videos could provide even to an awakened person. There are many insights besides strict awakening. -

Yeah, no shit. 5g is way too much. The solution is simple: stop taking such large doses. Reduce dose to 1g. 2g max in the future. Anxiety after a 5g trip is normal and even healthy. It's an important lesson that you still haven't learned: respect the substance and lower your dose. No matter how much you trip, there will always be a dose at which the substance skull-fucks you into madness. Just stay away from such doses. -

What is this gossipy crap? Sounds about as petty as my RationalWiki page. -
No, because it is not in his character structure. You arw asking if a dog can behave like a cat. A dog was elected, not a cat. Accept the dog as a dog.
