Maximizing survival is a big motivator for us

@Psychonaut This is next level erotica

While this would be great, I don't know if we are ready for it. Politics is extremely polarizing and it might just pull people here to spread ideology. We've already seen how the conscious politics thread went.

Before we get into taxing them more lets focus on them actually getting taxed and them not getting away with tax evasion through safe havens. Companies use every trick in the book to avoid taxes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2019/02/16/amazon-paid-no-federal-taxes-billion-profits-last-year/ https://finance.yahoo.com/news/companies-paying-zero-taxes-trump-law-155944124.html

@Finland3286 Yeah it sounds horrifying because it goes against everything our survival mechanism tries to do. But once there is no resistance you will be fully embraced in the love that you are. It's so beautiful you will want to cry.

Wanna be a millionaire? You gotta want it as much as you want to breathe.

Friend, its magical in of itself that we can even come to exist. We are marvels of creation. Do you think it ends there? Nothing ever made sense to begin with!

I love Chester Bennington so much. Linkin Park got me through so much emotional turmoil in my high school days. They were my first rock band I grew to love.

Take the love you feel and multiply times infinity.

I think epidemic is accurate. Afaik doctors would hand out opiates like its candy for pain relief and a lot of people got addicted, plus the stronger street opiates then you have a massive problem. We still stigmatize drugs so the amount of recovery options is slim. @Leo Gura Yeah I see what you mean, the first response to things it seems is to ban it, but often the issue is much more nuanced than people realize. But also I think politicians use it as a tool. afaik the war on drugs was to target the hippies and mexicans doing drugs because they were political opponents.

Is this a future Tool album cover?

True, we could go in circles on paradoxes all day long, I'm just trying to emphasize a facet Such as what is left when you dissolve such concepts?

I haven't experienced either but from my knowledge wouldn't synthetic be best for a 5-MeO experience? I know Bufo contains toxins and other psychedelic compounds. (Correct me if im wrong)

"meant go be" "coincidence" and "accident" are the same thing.

Considering you said you got like 40k or something back from taxes its safe to assume your life is way beyond secure. So I gotta ask, do you save your earnings, or spend it like most materialistic capitalists? I would think someone conscious might have a computer and TV at best but wouldn't go crazy for every new advancement. But there is also living in the now idea so how do you balance now thinking with preparing for the future. Lots of people sacrifice their now for some future now of retirement and constant enjoyment,

Imagine a person in your head. They are you, but yet they wonder why they don't have control, but wait you just imagined them wondering why they don't have control. Just because you *think* you should have control it doesn't translate to having it in actuality. Disconnect imposing belief from actuality and a whole new realm opens up.

I agree with this, or allow businesses to sell them like they do in say colorado. Prices go down, and regulations apply overall allowing users much safer access to the substances. Still it makes me wonder why such substances are even illegal. Is it so pharmaceuticals can be pushed? Many psychedelic users think its because it opens your mind, but I doubt anybody in power knows what its like. Its a really mind boggling issue. Because they know sobriety is easy to manipulate? Judging all drugs to be like heroin or cocaine? (Although I found cocaine to be meh)

I generally agree that a right to live or die is very important. Although I don't think we usually have proper communities to showcase an actual perspective between the two in modern society. And any place accepting such actions have huge liabilities legally.

Isn't this a bit of a paradox? At least when it comes down to intellectual interpretation.

Good video to start making you question all that propaganda that was given as a kid. Shits scary.

@Gili Trawangan Pretty good. Seems to me love is why form arises from formless.

How can someone give to the world by improving themselves. How can someone give to the world if they commit suicide before reaching their potential? Does spirituality work involve suicide or total acceptance to what is?

I'm not enlightened nor have anything considered Siddhis, but I found this to be a great insight to the topic. https://www.ananda.org/ask/the-danger-of-siddhis-yogic-powers/ Combined with your understanding of the absolute. @Nahm Depends what you consider a power to be. Either way I used the term loosely. I didn't consider it relevant besides to provide a coherent sentence.

People who obtain Siddhis only use them when they feel God tell them to. You obtain powers you seldom will use because you already love and accept what is.

I used to play some video games out of fear of missing out or because I didn't want to accept they no longer interest me. After being honest about the games I do enjoy. My library of 250+ slimmed down to like 10. Definitely a good idea to check whether you actually like a game.
