You eliminate paradox by banned self-reference. Which is of course the whole game science plays: do science but no self-reflection.

Yeah, bad idea then. How about Shamanic Breathing? You seen my video on it? 60 mins of Shamanic Breathing will bring out all your inner demons.

Sounds to me like if you socialized a lot you could change many of those weak parts of yourself. This is what you need, not psychedelics: https://www.actualized.org/insights/high-status-communication

That's in the right direction. But more generally you shouldn't just limit your notion of love to people or creatures.

@somegirl It is kinda ridickilous that you expect to be in a relatiinship with a guy and not have sex. This is like buying a cat and telling him there will be no litterbox and no pooing.

No Suffering should be minimized. But also don't forget how often sexy girl breaks a guy's heart and don't gives a fuck. Girls ain't angels.

Nothing quite like psychedelics to bring out your shadow. 2 years of therapy in 1 trip.

That will always be the case. Get used to it. You guys need to understand that I will not be bending over backwards to suit each one of your tastes and personal needs. Lower your expectations for what Actualized.org is. The expectations are getting way out of hand.

Good video. Pairs nicely with my video: https://www.actualized.org/articles/understanding-absolute-infinity-part-2

Cute, but a bit low-brow for this forum. Making fun of her is too easy.

I didn't say chakras are bullshit. But they are imaginary.

It is not subjective at all. Reality is Absolute Perfection when you look at with a high enough degree of consciousness, free from all of your biases and attachments. God did not make any mistakes. That's what's so astounding about awakening. It is unbelievably Good.

Yes. Embodiment will always filter through your genetics, mind, personality type, character, etc. It will be different because how Truth is manifested very much depends on the structure of your mind. Truth is One, but how it gets manifest can vary enormously. Not necessarily. There will not be any simple formulas for this kind of thing. People simply have very different personalities and minds. The complexity of variables is staggering. Yes No Awakening will make your innate character and personality stand out more. You will be more "you" than ever. You will be more authentic and unique as a character. For example, as I had awakenings I noticed they actually made me less nicer and less outwardly cheery because I realized those were masks I wore for much of my life so that people like me. So I actually became more authentically me, but at the cost of people perhaps liking me less because I no longer wear the masks they want. You stop giving a fuck about pleasing other humans. Of course some humans will not like this, because they like to be pleased. The bottom line is, just be true to yourself and let the chips fall where they will.

It's just to say that your mind is not infallible. You might as well ask why no human live has been immune to making a mistake.

@Derek White Your view on this matter is overly-simplistic and naive. Gain more experience actually doing the work and you will make some new distinctions.

So? I would rather have partial understanding of Hitler than no understanding. But also, there is such a thing as Total Understanding too. Understanding does always have to be partial. If they are the same, then why are you worried about my embodiment? Sure But God is not the only issue at stake in this discussion. There is much else to understand about life. And not all of it needs to be embodied. Consider the possibility that I simply value understanding for its own sake, and you don't. It's like I'm telling you that I enjoy chocolate ice cream and you're telling me, "Something is wrong with you. You shouldn't enjoy it."

I was subtly alluding to there being something higher than your kunadilini awakening. But I will not try to prove it you.

Because it is necessary. You just lack the consciousness and intelligence to see the necessity of children dying. Everything that exists is absolutely necessary and could not be otherwise. Reality is Absolute Perfection. The only problem is that your vision is clouded.

Don't even take my word. Of course, but that's AFTER you deal with horror of it. Personally, I love it! But if you're worried about solipsism being true, you probably won't love it so much. I don't necessarily love anyone any more in the the relative human sense. My love is very metaphysical and detached. Most people would not even consider it love. It's very subtle. It's a deep inner love for reality itself, not towards any particular person or thing. Imagine if you will that you just fell in love with the idea of reality itself. Be careful what you assume about me. I have not removed all my ego or its desires. Still plenty of that left. I have never made any promises or pretenses about "removing all my ego / desires". You guys often fall into the trap of assuming this about me, and it's very misleading. You will be disappointed. The only different between me and you is that I understand what reality is. You don't. That's all. This understanding does not make me some magical special extra-good person. You will find plenty of humans who don't know anything about reality and yet are nicer and kinder that I am. I am a bit of a jerk, actually. I am not too empathetic and I don't care very much about people's personal feelings. Mostly all I care about is understanding reality. You may find this difficult to relate to. How can it be explained? In many ways I look at the world just as you do. The only difference is that I understand what God is. You do not. Again, it's a very subtle shift in perception. Nothing crazy. Who says it needs to manifest in any way at all? Truth is Truth. Truth is not there to be used by you for anything. You just enjoy it. Maybe it helps you not take life too seriously. Mostly no different than before. I just also know in the back of my mind that they are projections of my own mind. Most of my interactions with humans are transactional. I am not kissing the mail man when he drops off my mail. In fact, I don't even know his name. Mostly I avoid humans. I'm not running around hugging everyone. I keep to myself and try to enjoy my life and work on my life purpose. I am not an extroverted person or a social person. Now, of course, I can still socialize if I choose to. But I have little desire to do so. You may be different. People have different personalities. It could, but your ideas of awakening are too fantastical. Mostly nothing happens. You have some awakening and then go about taking out the trash. It's not like fireworks are shooting out of my dick every day.

I already know.

This is some good stuff! Thanks for sharing. Although I should add, I see plenty of egoic projection in some of these critiques. Students often become disgruntled for whatever personal reasons and need someone to blame and they are too ignorant to understand the position of a deeply mystical and God-realized person. My biggest critique of Sat Yoga is that I doubt there is a single person there who is woke other than Shunya. As you become his little sheep servant monkey -- you won't have the time to awaken. You'll be too busy pulling weeds from his garden. The way I evaluate the quality of an ashram is based on how much time they actually give you to meditate. If you only have 2 hours per day to meditate, that's a shitty ashram. If you get 10 hours per day to meditate, that's a great ashram. Before joining any community make sure you are not just being used as a source of cheap manual labor. Also, the large sums of money they demand, if true, is a huge red flag. That's one of the reddest flags of a proper cult. You should not be paying any spiritual guru tens of thousands of dollars.

That's technically correct. However, you do not have enough time in your life to embody everything. You can only embody a tiny amount of what you can understand. And it is not desirable to embody Hitler. But you can still understand him within reason without embodiment. Embodiment will always be a subset of understanding. You don't need to punch yourself in the face to understand that doing so is not a good idea.

How would you know? Maybe it's not all the same.

When you finish deconstructing deconstruction, you will realize that consciousness is Infinite Absolute Truth. You think you can escape consciousness somehow, but you can't because consciousness is all there could ever be. You won't understand how I know this until you awaken. Until then you will be under the illusion that something outside of consciousness can exist. What I am telling you is not a theory or a speculation. It is 100% certain. This is the whole point and promise of awakening. It is 100% certain. No doubt is possible.

There is nothing else. That's what you fail to grasp.
