So... I watched the whole documentary now, all 4 episodes. It looks pretty bad by the end. But then I listened to Teal's responses to the documentary and it's hard to know who to believe. She claims the documentary was very deceptively edited. How truthfully edited was the documentary? Who the fuck knows. There are definitely plenty of red flags in there if the documentary is to be believed at all. The biggest problem is that she seems to live way too close with what should be her employees. There needs to be a boundary between employer and employee, such that employees are not your personal servants, pawns, and emotional support system. Employees must be allowed to live their own lives and have their own agenda. It seems that Teal is way too emotionally needy with them, using them as a surrogate family, the family she never had. Bottom line: don't live in the same house with your employees. And don't get too emotionally close to your employees. The boundaries between personal life and work life exist for good reason. It shouldn't matter who your employees are fucking. The fact that this matters to Teal is a problem. Teal's whole inner circle setup is very incestuous and will obviously breed problems and endless drama. It comes off as authoritarian, with her expecting everyone around her to bend to her agenda and have none of their own. This isn't sustainable, healthy, or in line with conscious relationships. Overall, I enjoyed the documentary. It felt raw and real. Even if it isn't true, it has good lessons there for how to not run a spirituality community.

Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. We were lucky not to lose more data. At this point all the functionality of the site and forum have been restored. Let me know if you experience errors or problems anywhere across the site. I checked most features and they seem to work but I might have overlooked something.

Green is not so great at this kind of empathy. Green has more empathy than lower stages but Green is still judgey towards criminals, racists, and especially greed. Just take a look at how the TYT channel reacts to and demonizes those things. Yellow would be much more understanding and less judgey. Green SJWs tend to heavily demonize racism and greed. -

Physical game. Grab her, pull her in, stare in her eyes, start getting intimate. You have to stop playing games and get serious. Treat her like you want her sexually. She will either push you off or it will hook. Be prepared for rapid escalation and lead it towards a close. Don't just stand there and wait around. LEAD!

Osho was negligent and irresponsible.

Every moment is eternal, outside of time and space. You cannot conceptualize eternity nor infinity. -
The most conscious ones don't.

Healing is difficult is not some absolute statement. It's a relative, pragmatic statement. You don't turn it into some ideology, it's just a recognition that some things are harder than others. Climbing Mt Everest is hard. It's useful to know that before attempting to climb it, so you have the right expectations. When I say something is hard or takes a long time I'm not making some absolute claim or a limiting belief, it's more of a motivation tactic. When I say things like that, think of it like this:

Serious. Probably soon.

I don't experience dissociation so I don't know. -

Another point: If you think that you are the watcher or witness, as some Neo-Advaita teachers like to teach, then yeah, you will start to feel dissociated because you've created a subtle duality between you and world. There is a deeper, truly nondual realization in which you realize that you are both the witness and the objects being witnessed. You are both emptiness and form. Be ware of these subtle dualities. They are quite common because most spiritual people have not awoken deeply enough. If someone is telling you that you are the watcher of the dream, but not the dream content itself, they are not fully awake. -
See video: Cult Psychology - Part 1 Obviously don't take ego projections too seriously, but sometimes people can give you valid feedback on your own blindspots which you don't easily see. Even very conscious and woke people have blindspots and bad behavioral habits that require correcting.

This is a dangerous trap. You are creating conceptual stories about not having free will, but your experience of life is not that. Be careful about taking on such spiritual narratives. Ground yourself in direct experience rather than what some guru says. Has anything in your direct experience changed? If spirituality is making you less functional then that's your clue that you're probably doing it wrong. Your body and mind aren't just something you watch. They are you. -
Guess I'll have to watch this thing. To be fair, once you have access to God consciousness, that becomes your guru. But it is still important to be open to human feedback about your behavior. Does she even realize that she's God? I dunno. If not, she's not so advanced.

You are a mind imagining a brain. -
Part of my brand and style is to underscore the difficulty of this work. Because most people way underestimate it and because culture and marketers try to sell you on quick easy fixes. I deliberately do the opposite. Does it always have to be difficult? No. But I don't want you to count on that. If it turns out to be easier than I said then you'll be in for a nice surprise.

Absolute Infinity is totally formless. All the senses merge into an infinite unity of pure consciousness. Absolute Infinity will not seem any good to you. It will be scarier than death. But if you stop being an ego then you'll realize that that's what infinite Love is. It's sort of the opposite of deep sleep. It's being infinitely awake, but as nothing. It is the highest Love because you unite with every possible object of consciousness. It's an acquired taste At that level of consciousness you could die and instantly return to whichever dream you want, however you want. There are no limits. - - - - - - Bottom line is, you gotta face your fear of death until you realize that death is not a problem. Psychedelics are one of the best and safest ways to do that. If you take enough psychedelics you will stop fearing death and you may even start to look forward to it. -
If your child only had the choice between cyanide and arsenic, you'd be a fool to preach to your child the evils of arsenic. Which is what people like you are doing.

But also, don't smear someone's reputation unless you got some evidence. Speculating about her is not appropriate. Bring the evidence or keep your mouth shut.

You could do it with a 9-5 job. But of course you can change your lifestyle to make it better aligned with spiritual work. Hard to say. Depends on what you want out of life. Higher awakening is not about improving your human life, it's about understanding what reality is. If you don't want to understand then don't pursue it. Yes. Awakening is really only suitable for you if you want to know what everything is about. If you don't care then I don't see it really working for you. You should ask yourself why you care about God at all. If you don't care then do something you care about. My health problems. Basically every problem in my life and every problem in the world. Especially all the political problems. -
I don't know. It's not so clear. Take psychedelics, contemplate shit, see what insights you can stir up. It's a hairy process. Fundamentally you just need to contemplate "What is sentience?" until you get it. You're not likely to get it in your sober state though.

The biggest thing will be values alignment. Find friends whose values align well with yourself and then friendship will be pretty easy if you invest energy into it.
