I have not because my mind is not interested in such garbage. I've had a few hellish nightmares though. Infinite suffering. You don't want to go down that road of your mind.

The one you think can die.

@DocWatts A cornered rat acts that way.

Sam Harris would be the most difficult person to talk to by far. That rationalism, scientism, and atheism would be denser than a lead brick. He would be stubborn like a mule and his mind is so crafty and smart that he would have a perfect excuse for every point made. Deconstructing his mind would be impossible. A sharp rationality in the hands of the ego-mind is the most dangerous thing. It will try to out-lawyer you in ways you cannot imagine. I am not a magician in such matters. I expect people to want to open their minds, not to have to twist their nipple into it. The thing with Sam Harris is, if you can't out-logic him on his terms, you automatically lose. Because that's the whole game him and his entire audience is playing. If it isn't perfectly logical they will declare victory. My mind does not even work in such stupidly logical ways. For me to be logical is big step down in my intelligence.

No, it's way more beautiful than that. It feels like the entire Universe is alive as you and constructing itself on-the-fly. It is not some static thing that exists in the past and pre-set in a boring stale way. It's alive and magical.

It's hard to say. I certainly have many book ideas handy. But my only focus is to write complete book about everything. Anything else is peanuts and not something I think about much.

@modmyth I think the competition was fierce. He didn't just have to be good, he had to be brilliant to make it as an artist. Can't blame him for that.

No one is stopping you. Hug a tree if it makes you feel better. It's your playground. You can be as sweet as you want to whoever you imagine.

Yes, soon. A lot, can't even compare them. It's hard to even remember 3 years ago.

You are Infinite Love. There's no need for compassion once you realize what you are and there is no one but yourself to be compassionate towards. So you just fall in love with yourself. Which is just to say you ARE Love. You feel Love so deeply it kills you. Death by Love.

I elaborated it to Charlie. God is Love and all of its will goes towards creating Love. So even God does not really have free will, although it does but it was all given to Love. In the end you have no control over anything at all, you just surrender to Love.

Yeah, well, those people aren't fully awaken. Compassion for other beings is what actually keeps you from the final awakening. There are no other beings, of course. It was just more illusion you created to act spiritual.

I have, some. I'm not a dancing monkey. It's like you want me to put on a show for you with fireworks shooting out my ass to make things extra enlightening. Exactly. Others are just there for your entertainment, to draw you deeper into the illusion. If you were conscious that there are no other minds you'd be bored as fuck, as there would be absolutely nothing to do. So you play games. God is game you play on yourself because otherwise you are stuck in Eternity.

I'm not sure yet. I might want to re-shoot it because I forgot to mention a few things. But it's a really solid video regardless.

I like his paintings. That's pretty damn good! That takes some serious skill.

My video is actually exceedingly generous to JP. I will probably get flack from progressives more than his fans. But who knows? You can never predict such things. People can react in all sorts of unexpected ways. I am often surprised by how people react to my videos. It's also not clear to me how open his fans are. How many of them are MAGA nutcases vs normal reasonable folk? Unknown.

Infinite Consciousness Or maybe they ain't fully conscious of God. Spira talks about "other minds". What fucking others minds? This is a joke. All "other minds" are your mind. You will never reach God-realization via Spira's pointings. It's weak sauce for unserious people.

Only absolutely What the fuck else would it be? Think about it. Anything you know of reality has always existed in your mind and nowhere else. Your brain, your birth, your parents, atoms, the Earth. It was always your own mind!

Empty carbs.

Hehe, how convenient that you think your own thinking is not produced in exactly the same way. Your own brain is a thing internally produced by a thing which is not really there.

Since these right-wingers can be nuts who can do crazy things. Out of every 10,000 fans there's going to be one unhinged psychopath who wants to stab you with a knife. It is foolish to kick a hornet's nest no matter how awake you are. If I talk to him I would have to confront him on fundamental issues like Truth, Love, Consciousness, God, relativity, etc. This would threaten him very much and I have no idea how he would handle it and how I would handle the reactions. The conversation could easily devolve into a chain of endless defense mechanisms. And if I make him look bad, his fans will not be happy. And in the end, what's in it for me? Pissing people off does little for me. And I don't want to get embroiled in political battles. Talking to him makes me a political target. I don't want Actualized.org to become a political circus or part of the culture wars.

There is no limit to what you can imagine if you wanted to.

1000+ Sadhguru, Spira, and Tolle don't say anything of substance. They just give vague allusions to things. I have no interest in such talk. Sadhguru, Spira, and Tolle have not taken on the task of deconstructing science or materialism for example, or explaining that you are God. My work is very different from such gurus. My work is much more technical and intellectual. I talk about complex models and metaphysics and epistemology and philosophy and politics, etc. Sadhguru tells stupid stories about Shankara and Pilai. Someone like Spira also has a very niche audience of hardcore nondualists who he preaches to. And to a general audience he says simple things like close your eyes and feel your awareness. I don't do that kind of stuff. Tolle does not go to a scientist and try to tell him that his entire worldview is a lie. Besides, these people are not even fully awake. They could not tell you what God is, and they never have.

I am writing a massive book.

Talking to him would be very risky. It could get confrontational and his fans would hate me. I don't want to deal with that shit.
