I will just say this: I know where you're coming from, Leo, from personal experience. You have to discard all authority except your own. Ultimately you ARE the only that can understand reality. All teachings are imaginary. The only purpose of all the teachings one beliefs in is to prevent one from realizing Truth.

Raping someone is a very emotional act. The source of those emotions is love, but they have been twisted by that persons perspective and past.

@Ineedanswers You could also rape someone and later regret it. It's not that you do a pro/con list for all your actions. And if the emotions get very strong it can just overwrite someones morality if they're not very conscious.

@Ineedanswers Couldn't it be both? Sexual arousal is also a form of love, be it a rather constrained one.

@Ineedanswers How do you know that pedophiles don't love children? Do you think that because they rape them? I then ask you: Do you think all pedophiles rape children? Do you think that you cannot rape someone you love?

@Ineedanswers You are assuming that people know what they're doing or what the full consequences of their actions are.

@Jacobsrw The feeling of euphoria is per definition as real as it gets (or you could also say unreal/illusory, it doesn’t matter). Every feeling/experience in itself is totally real and unreal at the same time. But I would agree that it’s a more shallow form of euphoria than that of psychedelics.

@Jacobsrw The euphoria is real. But it will leave you wanting more.

@acidgoofy Pretty much on point. The price for psychedelics is the potential for a challenging/difficult experience, whereas the price for ‚harder drugs‘ is the down after. Which is precisely why they differ in potential for addiction. A more unconscious mind can easily fall into the trap of only wanting to experience the positive without paying the price by sustaining the high - which is not possible: The price will be paid nonetheless. With psychedelics the price is much more clear and already included in the experience itself.

@Nemo28 If you are not motivated to put in the effort needed (which it is!) then you should question that path altogether. I‘m not at all saying you shouldn’t put effort or less effort. I‘m saying life is eternally effortless. We are talking about completely separate levels of perspective here.

You are - if you haven‘t noticed yet.

I don‘t think so. What about your (infinite) past? if you count that as illusory (which it is) then you can‘t be tainted at all.

No way. The mind can not exist without anything to do. But that will never be the case. It‘s so clever that it even can create a problem out of it creating problems - when there really is none. Just enjoy.

You are the only one who can be infinite love. Luckily that includes all birds - and all the rest, too.

It‘s not black and white. There is DMT, 5-MeO-DMT which are very clean psychedelics. Then there is LSD and Psilocybin which can be very powerful, too, but tend to be not as deep or as clean. Then there are dissociatives which already can have a kind of „more-ish“ feel to them and thus have a greater potential of addiction. Then there are of course the „classic“ harder drugs like speed, cocaine, heroine (which is in itself the opposite in effects of speed or cocaine, but in terms of safety belongs in the same ballpark imo). MDMA is somewhere in between and so on .. I personally classify drugs in terms of potential for addiction. Those which are more numbing/narcotic usually have a higher potential for addiction, because they can be easily abused. Psychedelics on the other hand are consciousness expanding which cannot at all times be pleasant per definition. But you tend to come out of the experience expanded. Not contracted like with heroin, where you will need your next fix to experience the pleasure again.

@NOTintoxicated The problem is that you are trying to understand infinity with logic. It‘s impossible because it is translogical.

@r0ckyreed It‘s a conundrum. Of course there is more than your perception: all other perceptions. But the base of it all is pure consciousness. And ultimately you are that consciousness. Don’t mistake yourself for r0ckyreed. You are infinite consciousness! And at the same time this infinite consciousness dreams up everything you experience right here and right now. Can you see how both things are true at the same time? It all makes perfect sense, but you have to go beyond logic to really grasp it. You have to see it for yourself. Everything I say is imagined by you - so in reality you already know all this but have chosen to forget it.

@Leo Gura In what way would that be a 180 shift compared to the last few weeks?

@Brandon Nankivell If YOU were enlightened, evil wouldn't exist anymore.

@The Don You are not allowed to say everything you want unpunished - and that's a good thing. What about defamation, insults, verbal abuse, commission of a crime, direct inciting of violence, etc. -- just to name a few.

Ya .. that’s too good to be true. It’s not real, though. Heard an interview with the guy in the video, and he said it was just an early YouTube art project.

@Michael Bertoni Where do I find answers to any of my questions to you there?

@Romer02 Thank you for the tip. Gonna look into it.

@ColeMC01The current internet is just great for building information bubbles. And the incel community is great at encouraging themselves to lay the blame on society .. or just women in general. That's just too easy! Instead of taking responsibility, like a conscious being would, they just delight themselves in guilt shifting and being bitter about life that treats them oh so unfairly. It's not that hidden of a psychology. It's blatantly obvious identification with their role as a victim, and thus being morally above the rest and in a position to justify their violence against evil femininity and society at large. An ego trip par excellence, unconsious as fuck and thus perpetuating their own misery.

Welcome to the forum! What do you mean exactly by "knowledge worker" and how do you want to achieve your vision for the future? How do you define success for them and how do you want to help them with it?
