Too much spiritual guidance / too many esoteric practices, making it too complicated when simple Pointing will awaken you!

The deeper I settle into nonduality the less I feel inclined to talk about it on forums. I have found myself withdrawing from all communities, like there is no need because of "divine knowledge" of being part of everything + happenings of nondoership. I wrote out a huge reply and deleted it because it just seems rather absurd to talk about...words cannot describe it very well and it feels like it won't help you either. Everyones "path" to nothing / nowhere is completely different and I have found on my own that reading peoples experiences leads to some expectancy then confusion when my "path" doesn't follow theirs. I say "path" because there is no path but that's a sentence you won't understand until / if you experience it, another example of why this all seems silly.

If you "got it" you wouldn't feel the need to justify drugs with such annecdotes in the first place!

Welll If you think like that, you could justify the same for raping people, or killing them. Because everything is just Consciousness amirite? Think how stupidly moronic the sentence "It's ok to rape people because people are just form, it's all just infinite and magical." is??

Plenty of people have used the LoA specifically to manifest lottery wins, in advance of their wins. Like Cynthia Stafford, who won $112M. Or Eddie Coronado. The entire Goddard family used LoA to build a huge business empire. I see it as yin/yang, action + metaphsyical attraction. The main points are to "act as if" you already have what you desire, and to send it out through "state akin to sleep" which is the hypnogic state just before and after sleep. You are acting like a loser so you are attracting loss.

That's a really stupid answer.

This is BS though. What following?

You might need a 9-5 job whilst you bootstrap whatever idea you want to monetize. My life would have gone a lot easier if my social anxiety hadn't stopped me doing 9-5's in between ventures. Good grades therefore make the difference between being a manager or the shelf stacker. If you are in high school, try to get a good grade in Business Studies at the very least.

How? Maybe it is but you aren't ready for it? Or maybe it is not.

Just be careful with long term use because you don't want to form a habit of only meditating when on drugs. It's funny how people think if someone did say, a few thumbprints people assume they are W O K E AF!!!! It doesn't work like that!

LOA does work but people miss the action part. You need to do the work, do the action, whilst doing the metaphysical state as well. To put it into perspective a few years ago before awakening I started a business, it had low competition, high ROI, and I failed...looking back it was clear why, because I was an anxious, negative, maybe even narcissistic person who blamed the Universe and others for my failures. Completely against the LoA. I did the work but combined it with the Law of Pushing Success Away from Me, so to speak. You can't sit there and will something to happen without doing any work towards it. Like saying "I want to win the lottery" then not buying a ticket.... Or saying "I want to meet the girl of my dreams" then not going out...

Pity is just the egoic interpretation of empathy. Like when people say "I don't want your pity" when you are being empathetic towards them. It's really empathy, and empathy is something that I feel is important to cultivate in ones life. If / when you have "cosmic consciousness" experiences you tend to develop it anyway because you realise everything is you and the usual nondual tropes.

Good to hear, (well you know what I mean) because I am also in an abiding non dual state, still with issues, thoughts (not much anymore though, and higher thought quality ie the negative thoughts are pretty much gone) I thought I might be stuck in the high 500's but then I realise Ramaji might not be correct at all anyway. He references the synchronicity between 500's and 700's so it is not clear where one can be on the scale.

It takes 30 days of conscious habit forming / neuroplasticity to "drill into subconscious" or as little as 10 minutes via hypnogogic "hypnosis" state.

Another worthwhile opinion This guy lacks empathy for people so I don't really promote him BUT he has an Economics degree and understands human emotion so his opinions on the matter are actually realistic.

It won't. The phrase of the question shows me you are missing the point. A better question would be 47% of jobs could be automated. This means that 47% of the people who work in the world are free from having to do jobs they either hate or currently perform. Instead they need to work other jobs. They are free to explore more careers!!!!! If the world suddenly does not require farmers, that leaves huge potential for population to advance!!!! We are only thinking of the negative consequences of automation, not the positive ones. The smart first step would be to think of a career that is sustainable, which in the "new world" would mean a career doing something that robots cannot do, or that humans can do better. If you are intellectually able to see this, and not lazy, you have a huge advantage over people who cannot see this, because you have (x)x years to figure it out, educate yourself, and plan for it before it happens, because the people who cannot see this are not ready. My career is based on selling other peoples products online, and I also run another business gathering, condensing and organizing information and writing it in a way that it either better explains information that is already out, or teaches someone new things not previously published. A robot will not be able to do this in my lifetime. You can spot AI on reddit for example because AI has not mastered the unspoken that humans can write and interpret; the reading in between the lines that only a pair of the same species can understand. Therefore I am safe. Yet I don't really care if I die either. I have reached a point in my spiritual understanding to no longer worry about death of the body. It's an eternal peacefulness. Survival of the fittest will prevail, as it always has. The sad truth is those who cannot adapt will be swept over, and those who can adapt will flourish. This is actually "Natural Law". Observe natural law and you will find the answers. Ironically it is perfectly acceptable for society to breed hundreds of thousands of animals JUST to kill them for their meat, or their horns, for $$$, yet when something threatens the survival of humans, worrying begins and stupid ideas get promoted. As for $1000 paid to everyone, do you really think this is a good coping strategy? What happens when your neighbour decides $1k is not enough and he decides he wants your $1k too? And has the means to acquire it (violence)? Before you say this is unlikely, have you noticed the increased crime rate, how the criminals seem to get all the rights and get away with things that straight up people get punished for? How is society going to afford to hire more Police when they are burdened by paying 400 million people, $1000 a month, in the USA alone? That's 400 Billion USD per month. Which is 1.2 TRILLION in just 3 months. The entire GDP is only 19 Trillion. It's just unfeasible. My guess is that poor people will say "well rich people don't need UBI" and feminists will say "men don't need UBI" and black people will say "white people don't need UBI" and the rich will say "I'm sick of paying for UBI for the lazy". All these words will occur and breed into hate, and only the rich will be able to do something about it; emigrate. So in this scenario, the richest 1 percent in the USA will leave the USA, taking their wealth with them. Who is going to pay for UBI now the 1% have gone taking 90% of the GDP with them? Suddenly the GDP becomes 1.9 TRillion USD per year, minus 5.2 Trillion of UBI payments per year.... UBI is unfeasible. This is why it hasn't worked in any country. And why trials have occured and quickly been eliminated. Communism is also unfeasible. Several countries tried that and look what happened? The powerful took it all.

Buy Scrivener. It allows you to write random stuff but then put it all together into one. Self publish or go trad pub.

@winterknight What is your opinion of "the headless way" as a tool?

Eventually duality and non duality supposedly merge. I only say supposedly as I am not there yet. Instead I spend increasing amounts of time naturally disengaging with duality and basking in nonduality. However people describe this as "utter bliss" but for me it's more comforting emptiness / wholeness. Also even when in duality and operating in the "reality" of duality, the nonduality is always quietly vibrating in the background. So maybe it has merged? I am not sure.

UBI won't work. If everyone in the USA recieved $1000 a month, then the price of goods would raise so $1000 a month effectively becomes $100 a month and it is impossible to live on $100 a month in the USA. Secondly they are going to have to fund UBI from taxing people who do work, these people will just leave the USA and move to somewhere that does not tax them as high. Thirdly he is Democratic who have a long history of lying and I wouldn't put it past him/them to get in based on the promise of UBI then go back on their promise. Finland did UBI for 2 years to only 2000 people at 500 euros a month and it didn't work out, so how is a country 18x the size at double the UBI rate going to work? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/23/finland-to-end-basic-income-trial-after-two-years

Just want to leave a headsup that if you take Lions mane and Reishi mushroom supplements for a few weeks, meditation becomes mindblowing. Reishi is a shen mushroom, google that. Lion's Mane promotes NGF, but does other stuff for the brain. it is important to buy dual extract- water + alcohol extraction. Otherwise you won't get the tripernes which are the epic stuff when it comes to meditation. Been taking NAMMEX supplies for a while now with awesome results. It's expensive but worth it to me. Also psilocybin + lion's mane + reishi is supposed to be GOD mode.

But that's exactly what you are doing. Not only that you are rigorously defending all critical thinking about her, as if she is some demigod with zero faults. You sound brainwashed so I suggest you take a step back and look again.

Your repeated testimonials for her are exactly what makes me think CULT. You sound like a sworn in member. Open your eyes!

...and you grab that cup of tea and you bring it up to nothingness and you tilt it and liquid pours into nothingness where your head should be...

Lions Mane also promotes NGF if you use alchohol extracts (to get through the blood brain barrier) which stands for Nerve Growth Factor.
