Sempiternity

I haven't seen Harris do a speech since she was primarying 4 years ago. I didn't like her back then. She seemed fake. And haven't had any interest in seeing her talk since. But, since she is running for president, I thought I'd listen to her speeches. And to my surprise...I really like her now. She seems genuine, joyous, loving, friendly, easy-going, community oriented. It doesn't seem like she is 'giving a speech', and more just being herself and talking to an audience. Color me completely on-board with her. I'm relieved and happy with the direction this is going.

One thing that almost never gets brought up about Buttigieg (spell it right, Leo ) is that he is gay and married to a man. And that's awesome that it is not discussed, as it should be normal and not an issue. And someone's sexuality should not be even mentioned in politics. I only bring it up, because it'd be pretty awesome to have a gay person as vice president, and maybe one day even president. It's huge for the gay rights movement, and for representation. It's come a long way in a short amount of time, from black people and gay people being persecuted and killed regularly (of course they still are, but not like 40-50 years ago) in this country, to them being the potential president/vice president. That's some major progression of society. Just a thought that came up.

I love Bernie, but the answer to everyone's concerns about Biden being too old, is not to pick someone even older.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/biden-could-drop-out-of-presidential-race-as-early-as-this-weekend-report-suggests/+ Adam Schiff, US House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, US Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, even Obama, all asking him to step down, it's over. If he stays in, Trump wins. IMO, with some new blood, to invigorate people's excitement in the election, by maybe having a somewhat decent candidate to choose from, we have a chance. Question for those that closely follow this election: 1) Who do you think is a good candidate? 2) Who do you think will actually get the nomination? 3) What chances do you think we have in turning around an entire presidential campaign with a new candidate to be able to win in less than 4 months?

@Nevar People nowadays have extremely short attention spans. i think what matters to alot of voters is what is in front of them right before voting occurs. If there is a fresh new candidate with alot of buzz around them, then that could be what voters will flock to. Most Democrat voters don't want to vote for Biden, and only will because it's the only choice. If given a better option, I would think most all Democrats would happily vote for the new and better option.

@Hardkill Thoughtful response. Who would you see being the best replacement then?

Looks like a factor is when he drops out. If before the nomination, the delegates could pick another candidate. Otherwise, the Democratic congressional leaders recommend the replacement, and the Democratic National Committee votes on that replacement. It'd be good for their cuase to do it before the nomination. https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/biden-drop-out-presidential-race-election-flowchart-rcna161440

Glad you think so too. He's smart, articulate, knows his history, knows American government policies, he's an endless wealth of facts and information. Just watch him in this video. This is no script-written teleprompter speech. This is him just talking about what he's passionate about. He's just damned impressive imo.

1) My top choice would be Gavin Newsom. Second choice, Pete Buttigieg. 2) They'll give it to Kamala Harris. I think this is a bad choice. They'll go with it because it's safe, but she's unpopular and not very likable in general, so it's a mistake imo. 3) Hard to say. I think a new fresh candidate could blow up in the race, if done properly. It'd no longer be a race between a dementia patient with one foot in the grave, and a dictator that will destroy the country. With a good candidate, it could install some faith back in the process, some excitement back into the race, give some hope, and turn the tides.

Mankind is an illusion/fantasy of Self.

They are already defending him and making excuses and saying they will not "turn their back on him". They will back him till the bitter end.

Substance, truth and logic, is not what most Americans are looking at. They're looking at strength, and if the President is going to be fit for office. Biden proved he's weak and not fit for office. That will sway the razor thin margin of Independant voters. As the last person just posted. Trump won 67% to Biden 33%. That's enough to tip the scales and win the election.

I think this panel here did the best analysis I've seen yet. America is in trouble. Until recently Trump was leading in the polls. After Biden's poor performance here, he's done. Trump is going to regain the lead. And we have 129 days until the election. All Trump has to do is not get jailed in those 129 days and he will win. Then he'll pardon himself, and turn the US into a Dictatorship. Making MAGA ideals into the doctrine of the new America. What will the Democrats do now? It's obvious to everyone Biden cannot come back from this. He can't do another debate. Can they force him out and push a new candidate in those 129 days, and have a chance? But they won't do that, they will double down, stick their heads in the sand, and continue to back a feeble old man with no chance of winning. That is if Biden can even stay alive for the next 129 days. We're fucked.

I thought you were a big advocate for DPT? In 2019, it seemed like it was your new favorite. What changed?

Oh it's great going alone to festivals. In fact I recommend it. When you go with friends, you have a security blanked, so you could be less inclines to go outside your comfort zone and talk with other people. When alone you may be more prone to go hang with others, make new friends, and magical things happen then. You can be swept away on grand adventures with people who've been doing festivals for years and know how to make the most of it.

*You don't have to be into some of these to go to them and meet great spiritual women. Ideally you're into it, and maybe once you attend, you'll get into it. I guess I'm saying don't let not being into something stop you from going. You'll have a great time regardless. Looks like there are 4 Burning Man regional events in your area. Highly recommended to meet awesome people. https://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/europe/uk/ EDM festivals are a great place to meet young beautiful lust-for-life woman. https://www.skiddle.com/news/all/The-Best-UK-Dance-and-EDM-Festivals/57200/ Spiritual gatherings: https://highvibeliving2020.medium.com/the-7-best-festivals-in-the-uk-that-you-probably-havent-heard-of-e31cfd58dff5 https://awakenedspirit.co.uk https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mystical-spiritual-holistic-wiccan-event-tickets-846266454747 https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/zenfest-spiritual-mind-body-and-soul-event-tickets-902196713657 https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mind-body-spirit-wellbeing-festival-2024-tickets-876599311137 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/glastonburys-lions-gate-portal-of-remembrance-tickets-901943696877?aff=ebdssbdestsearch https://www.eventbrite.com/e/77-portal-mind-body-spirit-fayre-tickets-914733742247?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&keep_tld=1 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/awakened-spirit-festival-tickets-718438939207?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&keep_tld=1 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/glastonbury-sacred-drum-circle-tickets-880829393427?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&keep_tld=1 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/witch-hazels-magickal-market-2024-tickets-767498557847?aff=ebdssbdestsearch&keep_tld=1

It's been my experience that festivals are the best place to meet awesome women. I've met nearly all my girlfriends there. But it depends on what kind of festival you're going to. Some music festival, you might meet some stage blue or orange women. But if you go to a spiritual based love festival (see Shambhala), you're going to meet more stage green or yellow. I'd look into local Burning Man regionals close to you, or similar type festivals in your area (if you share with me your general area, I can help you look). Just go and have a good time, meet people, go dance with them, and you'll eventually run into an awesome woman there that's available. It's actually quite easy.

Time is right Now. Consciousness can only exist right Now. Everything happens within Consciousness. Nothing exists outside of Consciousness. Everything is one thing, Consciousness. Consciousness=Everything=Mind=Imagination. Everything Now is one mind's imagination, including any memories, thoughts of a backstory/history, and any concepts like Time. Any memory of a 'past' can only exist Now as a thought. Now is all there is. It has no beginning and no end and is eternal.

You're welcome. Yes, that is right. And yes, best way to remember you're God is to wake up from the dream = death=God consciousness, is 5-MEO (high enough dose+surrendering to death).

Answer: No, no it's not. You cannot make yourself equal to God, because you ARE God. You cannot become eternity, because you ARE eternity. Think of it this way. When you are dreaming, your whole environment, everything you experience, everything you do, your body, other people you meet, are all one thing: Consciousness. Consciousness is what you are. Nothing can exist outside of consciousness. Consciousness is everything, and you are it. Consciousness is the dreamer that dreams up everything. That makes the dreamer God, and that is you. Consciousness can only exist Now. Now has no beginning, and no end. Now is eternity. Now is you.

Look at it this way. When you are dreaming, what is your body made of? Does it die when you wake up? Does it reunion with God when you wake up? Consciousness = Everything in Reality including your body = God =Imagination/Dream

And if you cannot find a cure, maybe look into learning to love the pain. Look into Masochism. People who have rewired their mind, to view pain, which everyone else seeing as bad, as something beautiful and pleasurable. Anything in reality is not inherently good nor bad, that is meaning that each of us put on something. I believe it would be possible, through extensive mind work, to rewire your mind to view your sensations of the body as something you can enjoy. It's an extreme idea, but sounds like you're in an extreme situation, so best to consider anything and everything.

"Only thing you have to fear, is fear itself". My guess is that your block is fear related. Leo has some wonderful suggestions in this video on how to get past your fear blocks.

@Leo Gura Could you speak more on this? It's a subject that's import to me, as I've got the permanent very loud ringing, which can be maddening. Been waiting for decades for someone to come up with some kind of 'cure'.
