I will have my Austerlitz one day. Napolean may not have known god. But god knew him

@Zeroguy If you ever want to have a conversation I'd be happy too. Maybe I can help actualize your vision

Nice video. I always thought I would do well in a consulting or advising role. I am going to help people/guide people in some form so i'm already on the path

Wow that was pretty insightful. Are these categories fixed though? I feel like as I am developing I am becoming more extroverted. I think introversion is not ideal for being successful and fully functional

@Zeroguy I am not your enemy. If there was any way I could help you I would it. But idk how to get through your psychological defenses. You can hate me all you want, but don't act like I am just hating on you after all of our interactions

Dude i am not hating on you. I really care about you and want you to succeed. But you have a mental wall up and you use it as a defense mechanism. I can either reinforce your ego, or I can try to call you out. I'm sorry it comes across as harsh. I was reacting to you hating on me too. The comments like incapable and living in my moms basement. You have an instinct to like dig at me and take shots.

You're so dishonest you forgot what it means to be honest. And I am creating. Just watch. Things are already in motion

I'm already in the process of getting that part of my life together. The better question is when are you going to drop your bs ego games and become honest

I don't know the difference between the two, I assumed they very similar I was not lying

I would say hold off on making a big financial commitment until you have clarity around your visions and goals. I think you are still in the process of learning and finding out what you want which is a good place to be, but don't jump the gun on spending large amounts of money yet because you may come to regret if your vision changes or you find you aren't as interested in the content as you initially thought

Yeah, I was more extroverted as a kid but over time I got stuck in my head and became intj. I am working on accepting myself, it takes time

Yeah, this is something all right wingers have to answer for. The amount of money that could have been spent elsewhere actually developing the country is mind blowing. I agree that a shift overall left in american politics is a good development. But there are clear blind spots that are not being addressed and that what's I want to see addressed as well

That is true to some extent, but very incomplete and misleading. Was the democracy at stake from 2004-2020? There were plenty of left wing idiots in power with poor results. There are two sides to a political equation in the United States. There is good and bad on both, this forum just likes to shine the spot light in one area and dig their heels in.

There is a difference between a governmental plan to solve an issue that targets personal responsibility and individual decision making, and a collectivist meme that reinforces victimhood mentalities and absolves people of personal responsibility and empowerment like you see with modern leftist thought. I would say if you really want to a make change innovate and invent something and use the excess resources to fund change without overhead and bureaucracy. That's the potential power of individual empowerment. And I don't have to blame white supremacy or the British for any of it!

My issue is with modern leftists, Sam Seder, Michael Brooks, Vaush etc. I can't say i'm familiar with academic leftists but given what I saw at my time at higher education in Canada, I am not confident there is a lot of wisdom coming from academic leftists. I am for downplaying the primacy of systemic issues, so attention can be placed in areas where you will see actual results. Whatever is currently being done by politicians and organizers is clearly not very effective. Why is it the case that black people have seen improvements in the structural and systemic aspects of discriminations, and yet the actual outcomes are dramatically worse off than before the civil rights movements. In my view political thought is dominated by morons who lack wisdom and true intelligence, but I doubt that will change anytime soon

Murat, always riding with the advanced guard, was so fearless and conspicuous in his extravagant uniforms that the Cossaks came to admire him calling out "Oorah! Murat! whenever they saw him, and hoped to capture him alive if possible

Lol. I have learned from the conversation. Hopefully people following have learned something too. There is very little effort required for these kinds of conversations

I am not denying that the environment is essential to personal responsibility. If the air was poisonous to breathe and our water all turned to poison then yes the conversation about personal responsibility would be misguided. But are you saying that is the case for poor communities, like black america? Is the government actively committing genocide against them? Are mobs of white people going around hunting innocent black people walking in the streets? The better question is what role do black people play in shaping their own environments? When 80% of children are born to 18% of the men leading to an epidemic of single motherhood, how are you going point to the environment without a serious analysis of individual decision making? The left won't even begin to discuss the relationship between choice, values, and individual change in improving society and poor communities. I already asked many times, show me where on the left there is a serious discussion of black single motherhood and welfare, or black on black violence? Or how the cultural values shape the outcomes? These topics get shouted down because people assume it will be used as fuel for the right, so they avoid the topic all together. Politicians, political organizers etc have more power and control when they can blame external structures like white supremacy, or blame republicans. But actually addressing the issues and doing boots on the ground work to change individuals is not something that these types have any expertise or interest in

@Judy2 What kind of breakthrough are you hoping for? What made your good trips good? And how were you humbled by a bad trip?

@Sine I think consistent meditation is the way to realize and embody your understanding that you are more than the body etc. Also, I think inspecting and understanding the mechanisms and cause/effect of your traumas can be very effective. I like Dr John Demartini's break through experience methodology. It's not as simple as just recognizing that the body and emotional trauma is illusory. I think there is a lot of trauma stored in the body, and our emotional traumas are felt in the body so it makes sense that you would seek to transcend the body entirely. But your framing is inaccurate imo. It's not about transcending the body perse, but more so about understanding why our body's feel the way they do, and taking steps to remedy whatever traumatic experience we have been dealing with

You can buy one of those night time eye covers with a built in blue tooth speaker. When you are in deep sleep your brain is the most receptive to new ideas, thoughts, beliefs. If you play subliminal binaural beats at night with a particular topic I believe it can help shape your reality with respect to that topic. When I listen to these at night with my eye cover, I can feel my brain being worked, and I've had noticeable changes a few hours after using the subliminal affirmations.

Good luck with your trip. What are your trips usually like? How often do you/have you tripped? It's worth bringing up with your friends, especially if you believe you can trust them. Maybe they will have an insight, or can offer guidance/support in some other way. Maybe you could apply for an extension? I think Universities/Colleges can be very understanding for people suffering through mental health issues.

@omar30 Do people who go to the ME to fight for ISIS, Islam etc follow thr true islam or is it deception in your view? I always wondered if they were genuinely guided by consciousness to fight there

@omar30 Well at least I can have 4 wives under Islam, so that can be something to look forward when the Caliphate rises

Have you studied Christianity and Buddhism? How can you be sure Muhammed was the most enlightened being ever, when you have no direct experience of Buddha or Christ? What do you think of Salafi Islam? Is there any place on earth that practices the "true" Islam you are describing
