NFTs are the metaphysical search for true value. What is the true value of a tweet? What is the true value of digital art? Is the market value(value that the free market pays for an item) its true value, or true value exist beyond the market? Notice that the current trend of the NFT market is created on the Ethereum platform. Thus, the source of truth for NFT is validated against the Ethereum platform. But what happens if Ethereum didn't exist? Without Ethereum, is there another Ethernal source of truth? -

He has intellectualized awareness. He is possessed by his ideas. It is possible to metaphysically deconstruct yourself. Some of the greatest philosophers (ex. Hegel) have reached Absolute Idealism, but they haven't transcended it. The problem is that awareness is beyond intellectualization. Awareness is beyond thought. Awareness needs to be Realized to be made Real. -
The problem is that you try to think too much. You should think less and feel more. Acknowledge that thoughts are currently creating your reality and they affect how you feel. Rather than believing your thoughts, let them go. Imagine how you would feel if you didn't have these thoughts.

Money is a communication of value. If you value everything equally, why would you need money? -
Increasing complexity requires a vertical leap in organization. The vertical leap creates a hierarchy. The hierarchy is created by the principles that bind the lower level. JP promotes that competence should be the primary driver for creating the hierarchy which is not always the right approach.

The map is not the territory. He needs to walk the territory to get to know the map better. There is so much metaphysics in what he is trying to do. This goes to show you that if you find your passion, and if you are creative enough you can always find creative ways to monetize what you do. -
The irony is that Coffeezilla places ads on his videos and very often those ads feature the same people he is exposing. So he is getting paid by the same people he criticizes.

Lots to unpack there. There are two types of truths. The truths you know and the truths you don't. You can only tell the truths that you know, but how do you tell the truths that you don't? You have to discover them in your sub-consciousness. Contemplating through writing is a good approach, which I think is what you are doing here. There are two types of manipulation. You can do manipulation consciously or subconsciously. Telling a lie that you know is a lie is a conscious way to manipulate. Putting red lipstick to accentuate your health and femininity is a subconscious attempt to manipulate. If you want to have a healthy relationship, you must be aware of your own manipulation, but also the manipulations of your partner. Otherwise, you will be lying to each other without knowing. The survival agenda of men/women is so strong, that if you become aware it, it will make you want to puke. If the agenda wasn't strong and brilliant, we wouldn't be here. But can you look beyond the agenda?

You are projecting. You seek the characteristics in a partner that you subconsciously lack. If you lack confidence, you seek a confident guy. If you lack security, you seek a rich guy. Metapshicaly, you seek for a guy to fulfill you. Once fulfilled, you want to feel whole. It is true that most women lack confidence. My question to you would be, what would a really confident woman want a man for?

If your best content is for free, why would I pay for second-grade content? If you give me your best cake for free, I don't want your second-best cake. The answer is to be creative. Think of your own answers and don't copy others.

To win the game of politics, you must become a politician. To become a politician, you must lie. To lie, you must lower your level of consciousness. You have to play the game by their rules, not yours. By the time you have become president, you will become as corrupt as the current president. Governments don't want the Truth. They want to know how to get elected again. If you dream to change the system, you will wake up to the realization that the system has changed you.

The problem is that the politicians in California are too progressive for their own good. Society requires are delicate balance between progressive and conservative values. When the politicians start living in their own "la-la" progressive land, they get detached from the values that have preserved the state for centuries. The side effect of that detachment is homelessness. -

Don't fall into a victim mindset. You are in control of your own destiny. You don't have insights into what happens in the background in the life of Elon Musk. You have no idea how many times he had failed, the pressure he is under, the problem he faces on daily basis. We only see the outside, but never the inside of what it takes to be successful. The world is filled with opportunities. You just have to be brave enough to seize those opportunities. I will give you an example. There is this guy I found on youtube that who plays game for a living. https://www.youtube.com/c/GeoWizard/about His job is to play a game called https://www.geoguessr.com/ where you are dropped into a random street in the world, and you have to guess the location. He is really good at this. This guy has more youtube views than Leo. He found his niche and is able to make a living from it. You don't have to do what he does. Just think about everything that had to be invented so that he can play his game. Someone had to invent cameras, google maps, the internet, websites, streaming. You can invent a better camera, better google maps, etc. Just find your passion and have the courage to go for it. -
The taxes that you pay doesn't go to the current politicians, but the wise people of the past that have created the proper governance structure that allows you to have a business. Think of it as incurred debt to the people of the past that have tried to create the laws that guard the societal system. Most of the people that work in government are good, honorable people that want to serve the public. The corrupt ones are few. So don't be discouraged and pay what is due.

I stumbled upon a humble homeless guy called Andrew on youtube. He lives next to the Beverly Hills Sign. I could sense that he is struggling to get his headstart in society, so I wish to help him somehow. Maybe as a community, we can help him even more. I wish to donate a few hundred dollars so that he can move from place A to place B. I was thinking of creating a GoFundMe page for him, but I live in Europe and don't know how to deliver the help to him directly. Maybe one of you lives in California and would be able to find him? PS. I know he is not telling the truth about his background and not knowing about what Beverly Hills is, but I feel he still deserves a chance.
-
Sorry to hear that. I have never been in such a situation myself. I guess I lack the awareness of how giving him a chance for a new start in life would be counterproductive. Care to enlighten me? By the way, I assume that Andrew is not the typical drug abuser/alcoholic, but genuinely wishes help to reintegrate back into society. Am I too naive?
-
You should not be suppressed by someone who is less conscious than you. If you are more aware, you should assert yourself and fill the gap in the awareness of others. Faking confidence for the sake of appearing confident won't lead anyone to the truth. Genuine confidence is the key.
-
@K Ghoul You are entitled to your opinion. I don't see a problem in helping someone who is clearly asking for some help. Deep down, Andrew is not looking for a handout, but a message that someone in the world still cares about him. Why don't we send him such a message? People sometimes need just a little encouragement to get on the right track.
-
I created a GoFundMe page for Andrew. If someone wants to contribute, please do so at the following link: https://gofund.me/e4346ebc Every donation counts. If you live in California, please contact me.

To the extent you can. If you can't, that's ok. You can admit anything only if you have dissolved all your fears. If you have fears, you will try to lie and deceive. Maybe revealing these truths will tell more about a repugnant society rather than your "repugnant" nature. -
JosephKnecht replied to Akira's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
When you are intentionally dishonest you assume that telling a lie will give you something better than telling the truth. But how do you know this? You don't know what the future will bring you. Maybe telling the truth will give you something greater. Telling a lie assumes that YOU know what is better for you, so you intent to trick "the universe" into giving you what you want. But maybe, you are only tricking yourself? Maybe "the universe" knows better what is better for you so you just have to tell it your truth. Having said that, if your girlfriend asks you if her butt looks fat in those pants, the answer is No. You are welcome. -

It is unlikely to stabilize your level of consciousness just from psychedelics. You have to do THE WORK. Ram Das together with Timothy Leary tried to get enlightened through psychedelics for years. But it didn't work for them because essentially psychedelics try to tell you that the power is within. If you keep taking them and never learn this lesson, you will be missing the point of psychedelics. It is all false information in the end. But you are not at the end. You are more in the beginning When you get to the end, forget everything you know. -

Those words were spoken, not written. But they are also false.
