I updated the audios for iTunes, Spotify, and MP3 downloads. Everything is up to date now. Sorry for the slowness on that. I will try to keep it more up to date going forward.

I don't buy this number at all. Sorry, nothing personal. I want to see your mind epistemically sound.

I swear, people are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Obviously simply believing me is wrong. However, in this work when you start thinking for yourself, you have a serious risk of derailing your train into a ditch. You have to be extremely careful thinking for yourself. People take the notion of "thinking for yourself" and then within a couple of years they are lost in delusion-land. Thinking for yourself is like disarming a nuclear bomb. You better know what the hell you're doing. I am here to help keep people on track. But then they think they have outsmarted me and stop listening. It's a deep problem with no easy answer, because obviously you can't just treat me as an ultimate authority. You have to be able to question me without turning stupid. It is possible to outsmart me, but if you think you've done it, I encourage you to think again. People who think they've outsmarted me usually end up making fools of themselves. Be careful relating to me too casually. I am very casual in my communications. But this creates an false sense that you will outsmart me. If I was a professor at Harvard you would relate to me with a lot more seriousness. But you are dealing with a greater intelligence than that here. Be careful underestimating it. I can't save you from yourself.

You are getting lost in conspiracy theories. That is exactly what this is. He got botox. This is precisely on-brand for Hollywood.

OF COURSE! That's the only thing that's ever going on.

No one is asking for that. However, there is an attitude that the most advanced things I teach have been understood and surpassed. This is self-deception and it turns into an arrogant attitude which is often displayed here. As above. Be very careful of the things you guys assume about me. You do not understand me nor the most advanced things I teach. Think for yourselves, but be careful not to hang yourself on that rope, as many before you have. Every year I see another smart-ass here who thinks he's outsmarted me and he inevitably turns out wrong. Be much more epistemically careful. That is all. You are confidently concluding things about my level of trauma, which is insane. You have no understanding of my mind at all. Have the intelligence to not-know at the very least, if you don't want to believe me. But to think that you can come in here and psychoanalyze me successfully is beyond delusional. You have no idea the intellect you are dealing with. You still think you can play human games with me and win. This is a big mistake. Think for yourselves, but don't be stupid. What I've noticed over the years is that people start thinking for themselves but then slowly over the years end up deluding themselves because they don't have a deep enough epistemic foundation to think properly. They start making all sorts of assumptions, projections, conclusions, etc. In short, they become impossible to teach because they've convinced themselves they've figured everything out. Which is a sick joke. And they commit the gravest error of all, which is trying to undermine what I teach.

Watch your projections.

Never underestimate an Aussie.

Really? You do live down-under

It means a difference in perspective. When you get multiple perspectives on an issue, you have parallax. The more perspectives you get, the greater the parallax.

This is a good distinction.

I am not going to go into details since it is private. Best not to speculate or assume too much about it. If you are worried about whether I have trauma, I don't. All my personal history is resolved and irrelevant now.

It wasn't really like that. You have to be careful about you imagine. If you imagine something heinous then it doesn't make sense.

Jim Carrey probably had a glimpse of Awakening on a psychedelic, so he started talking about it, but I doubt he did serious work beyond that. He has a busy career afterall.
