    Stage green/pluralistic relativism and confusion
    Yes, of course. That's the cost of grappling with relativity. Which is why most people suck at understanding relativity. There is a  period in your life that you must pass through where you feel lost in relativity and unable to make a decision as a result.
    I had a plan to shoot a video about this.
    But I already talked about the solution to some extent in my much under-rated video: Balancing Theory vs Practice

    Why sometimes is painful/deeply frustrating to see hot girls ??
    One time I was at the gym working out. Saw hot girl walk onto the treadmill to run. She was wearing headphones.
    As she's running, I walk up in front of her and do a big grin and a big wave. I motion for her to take off her headphones and get off the treadmill. She complies. I tell her she's cute and start chatting her up. She tells me she has a boyfriend. I grab her number anyway. We go on a date. We make out. Her boyfriend was out of town and she was feeling lonely.
    Another time hot girl (25) is walking through the mall talking on her phone. I run in front of her, stop her, and ask her who she's talking to. She says her mom. I tell her to hang up on her mom and talk to me instead. She complies. We flirt and exchange numbers. Then we go on a date and have great sex. Stunning girl.
    I once met a guy who banged something like 100 women at the mall. He would fuck them in the dressing room.
    STOP. MAKING. EXCUSES.
    Women are everywhere. Go talk to them.

    @Porphyry Fedotov Dude, you talked with her for 3 hours and didn't flirt, or touch, or hold strong eye contact. What do you expect? You deserve to be friendzoned.
    By 3 hours your hands should be on her ass.
    On dates you gotta keep things light, playful, and lots of physical touching. And you gotta bounce around to multiple locations. Don't just sit in one place for 3 hrs.

    Am I doing meditation wrong?
    If you get lost a lot in thoughts the best method out of that is mindfulness with labeling method. See my video: Mindfulness Meditation, or check out Shinzen Young's explanations of it.
    See, Hear, Feel are the best 3 labels to use.

    The human cannot appreciate the trans-human.
    Yes, from the human perspective reality can seem unfair, cruel, evil, depressing, unloving, etc. But that's just the human's limited and self-biased view of reality.
    Of course! A human is an illusion because everything is an illusion. You want something beyond illusion but that is impossible since illusion is everything.
    Yes, you are a toy and you have an expiration date. Enjoy it while it lasts cause it will be over very soon.
    Yes, there is a limited perspective which does not see perfection. The point is to try to break out of it.
    When you are suffering, the suffering feels real. That's the illusion of it. And it is tragic in sense because if you had more consciousness you'd laugh at the suffering. But you don't so you cry. You get trapped in the illusion -- until you escape.
    If you don't want to suffer, then don't be born at all.
    Consider the following: if I gave you a choice between being born but suffering vs not being born and not suffering, you would choose to be born. Which is why you're here. Ta-da! The possibility of suffering is what makes life exciting. Otherwise life would be too fake and easy, like a cartoon.
    It doesn't dismiss suffering. It fully recognizes the strong illusion of suffering from within every limited creature's perspective. But what can it do about it? To eliminate all suffering is not an option because that would kill every creature in the universe. Suffering is the mechanism by which creatures survive and learn.
    Again, consider this: if you were the parent of a child and you were given the option between A) your child never experiencing pain vs B) your child experiencing pain normally as humans do, you would choose option B because choosing option A would mean your child dies within a month of being born.
    It's not fair from the human perspective. But it's fair from the Cosmic perspective because you will live through all possible lives and experience all the highs and all the lows. If you were born in a war-torn country this lifetime, in some future lifetime you will be born as a Brad Pitt.
    It's fair when you realize that God will experience every possible experience that could ever be experienced, and they will all balance each other out.
    God will experience all the greatest evil and all the greatest good. And thus God will come to know itself fully. You can't know yourself until you've experienced the full range of what you are capable of. Which happens to be Infinite.
    Consider this: How could God know what pain is, or what heartbreak is, or what torture is, or what rape is, unless God lived through all those experiences? So here you are, living through all those experiences so you could know them intimately, not just theoretically.

    It can.
    Not necessarily. An ego can come and go. It might be gone one moment and back the next.
    Of course.
    Of course the map is not the territory. My words are just words. Truth cannot be spoken.
    Firstly, many do.
    Secondly, many aren't conscious of what Love is. It is not easy to become conscious of what Love is via traditional meditation. Meditation tends to lead to the Void, which gives people a false sense of completion. Traditional meditation only explores a narrow spectrum of consciousness.

    Yes.
    But, they will not be enough to increase your baseline level of consciousness.

    Microscoops are very accurate as long as you're using the same batch of substance.
    If you change batches, then you'll have to recalibrate, which isn't a problem.
    My standard rule of thumb is to take 1 microscoop of any substance. Rarely will 1 microscoop get you into trouble. The ideal dose for many substances is between 1 to 3 microscoops. This is for plugging/snorting. Vaping needs to be lower, like half a microscoop to start.

  10. What is consciousness made of?
    What is consciousness made of?
    There is only one way to understand what consciousness is made of. You are consciousness. Look at yourself.
    It's that simple. And no other method will work. Looking at yourself is not optional so stop trying to get around it.
    It's like, you are willing to do anything to understand consciousness, except the only thing which leads to understanding of consciousness -- which is looking at consciousness.
    So you will never understand consciousness until you look at it. Look real close. Look real steady. Look real deep.

    Consciousness likes to dream. That's what it does.
    Why would there be any limits upon what one can dream? The nature of dreaming is that it's unlimited.
    You are still judging good vs bad. From the POV of Infinite Consciousness all dreams are valid, interesting, and part of the whole. God is not going to exclude stuff nor eliminate stuff just because a human doesn't like it.
    You can't really appreciate how unlimited and powerful Consciousness is unless you experience some of the nightmares it can dream up.
    Your question is basically the age-old question of: If God exists, why would he allow evil?
    To which the answer is, God sees no evil, but you do since you are attached to finite forms.
    Reality is far too profound of a thing to make logic sense to a finite and fearful human mind. To understand God you must surrender all your judgments and attachments.
    God is infinite imagination, but you are asking God to be something less than that because it makes you uncomfortable. Well, sorry, but God has bigger priorities than you personal comfort.

    Dude, when you date, you don't get all philosophical about it. You keep things fun and easy. Don't start whipping out actualized.org lectures on your date. You relate on a much shallower level.
    On your profile you could mention that you're into spirituality and meditation. That should pique some girls' interests. The smart girls. Girls love spirituality stuff. It's like chick-crack.
    If I'm socializing with a girl, I act like a total goofball. It's not serious. Stop saying anything logical. This is the #1 rule of game. No logic.

    A glutton is one who continues to stuff his belly even though he's already full.
    Doesn't the Bible say something about gluttony?
    Lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, pride.

    What's always going on is group-think, collective ego, survival, relativity, self-bias, double-standards, self-justification, self-deception, culture, dogma, ideology, tribalism, people misunderstanding people, madness of crowds, unconsciousness, ignorance, devilry, and Love.
    That pretty much explains the whole world.

  16. If reality is infinite - wouldn't it include a possibility of eternal suffering?
    If reality is infinite - wouldn't it include a possibility of eternal suffering?
    That's where surrender comes in.
    Once you surrender, the suffering subsides. If you keep resisting it, it will persist.
    If you ever get caught in horrible, off-the-chart suffering, you will have no choice but to surrender, and that's how you'll get through it. Surrender is the grace of God.

    You can screen out tall girls just by looking at them, so this is moot.
    And furthermore, if you stop being so weak, you can date tall girls too. One of the best pickup friends I had was 5'4". He got laid more than me at 6'2". So spare me your BS excuses.

    It means, you are literally looking through my eyes right now, and I am looking through yours. The difference is, I realize it and you don't. Unless you do. In which case, namaste, motherfucker

    You can only truly understand what spirituality is when you have a direct experience of spirit.
    Spirit = Mind
    When you realize the coffee table is made of spirit/mind. Then the whole field opens up to you.

    Well, your question is the classic question of epistemology 101 classes as taught in universities.
    Like I said, the entire history of Western philosophy from Plato to Derrida is a history of guys trying to define and understand what knowledge is. It's a very hairy subject. It will forever elude your grasp. But of course you have some vague intuition of what it is.
    Traditional Western philosophy defines knowledge as "true justified belief". But of course every term in this definition is problematic to define, so the definition ends up being circular.
    In the end, knowledge is a conceptual function of Universal Consciousness and all knowledge is relativistic, dualistic, partial, biased, and finite.

    Leo What's your opinion about Donald Hoffman?
    No, that is straight up materialism.
    The materialist fundamentally believes that there is a objective external reality outside of human perceptions but that human perceptions are not it, and that we will probably never reach "it". But it is there.
    "Interfaces" is a materialist notion.
    What is missed by all these people is that perception IS Absolute Truth! Perception is NOT an interface at all. Interface assumes some "other" thing which is being interfaced with. But ff course no such thing can exist if reality is ONE.
    The interface IS reality. What else would it be? Ta-da!

    To those of you who lost a loved one, how did you overcome the grief?
    Look, you're going to go through a greiving process and then at some point after you get it all out of your system, you will forget about it and move on with life as if it never happened.
    That's how life works. Shit happens to you, you stress over it, then you forget about it because it no longer matters to your survival. Regardless, all you're doing is survival. Survival, survival, survival -- every day.
    If you feel shitty, be kind and gentle with yourself for a while.

    Church = science

    This doesn't really help your case at all.
    It will always be corrupt, but we can make it less corrupt. According to your logic, nothing can ever be improved because perfection is unattainable.
    All knowledge schemes will always be fallible, but it's long overdue for mankind and science to assimilate the lessons of meta-science which I teach.
    Absolute Truth exists and it can be accessed without any fallibility. The materialist, rationalist paradigm is garbage and it should have died 100 years ago. Yet it still lives on.
