The only element that exists is Consciousness.

What about the people being more disconnected from reality? I saw a video of a guy walking around in public with that thing. It just looks dumb and it lowers your senses. You wanna talk about survival? It probably isn’t gonna be a good idea to have your senses blocked in public. There are already problems with people wearing headphones and not being aware of their surroundings. I just don’t see how this is going to add value to society anymore than an iPhone. The cool things about it is the TV and environment mode, but these could dissuade people from actually experiencing nature and going to a movie theatre. I just see us building our own demise and matrix. At what point will you be concerned? When we are no longer able to distinguish reality from simulation, that’s when we will know for sure that we fuvked up. But hey, welcome to the metaverse. It’s easy to control people when they are distracted and entertained. Much harder when they are focused and educated.

You can’t deny that this invention isn’t going to awaken society. It is gonna be like another iPhone and TikTok invention where people waste their lives and confine themselves to the Digital Matrix. Sure, it may help you broaden your education in some ways, but it seems far more entertainment addictive. And by the way, just because you pass a law that driving with VR is not allowed doesn’t mean people are going to follow that law. People still text while they drive, so you aren’t going to stop unconsciousness without respect and enforcement of the law. I mean just look at black hat hackers. Technology promised us easier lives, which it has in a way, but it has also exposed us to more BS. Look at black hat hackers. People don’t have to come to your house to rob you anymore, which you can see that as a good thing or bad thing. But physical robbery will still exist. So you can make the argument that technology helps make criminals act in less violent ways instead of fully gunning down a bank. But I think these arguments are foolish because AI is already used to impersonate others, which will negatively influence our politics. It seems like you are overlooking the negatives. When it comes to technology, I think it is wise to lean more conservative. I don’t think being liberal here is wise. People being ignorant to the consequences of inventions are what I call naive optimists. Also, what I meant by my previous statement of “there are no benefits” is I was referring to the added value to society. Sure, this technology may help people be more productive, but it isn’t going to get you to Awakening. The goal is life is Awakening, so I just don’t see how this will fulfill that goal because you are essentially placing yourself in the Matrix

There are none lol. People are gonna drive with this shit on and how are cops gonna regulate distracted driving? “Oh officer, it wasn’t on.” lol. More people are gonna be walking distractions and philosophical zombies. It is just going to feed the reptilian brain. What can apple pro teach me that I can’t learn from a library and from meditation? People are going to use this to grow towards the Devil and away from God. If you can’t see this, then it is foolish.

The reason I bring all of this up is because when I was in a relationship, I couldn’t think about consciousness and God because all of my thinking went to her. I don’t see how you can go all in with God when you are going all in on a woman. Sex is also overrated. After you climax and you both are done, what now? It didn’t add anything to my understanding of reality, it only strengthened my attachment. What do you say about that?

This is going to have negative consequences for our society for sure. I feel like technology makes our lives easier in someways and way harder in others.

I also assume that Leo is fully awake. I highly doubt that he has a kid. Who needs that distraction. People here are making an assumption that you can be fully awake and live a normal human life. It isn’t just chop wood, carry water after Awakening lol. That level of insight makes you rethink everything.

Having a family creates its own limits on your mind. Nobody takes the cost of having a family and pursuing awakening seriously

I guarantee you that if Leo had a wife and kids, he probably would’ve never have access to alien consciousness. If you think you can awaken and keep your normal life, then you’re a fool. Awakening will change you beyond what you can imagine. You can no longer function as human at the highest levels.

Not necessarily. God is lack of bias and attachment. Relationships and sex are all about attachment. You won’t get to God if you are in attachment. You think the Buddha would have attained Enlightenment if he was still living in that palace with a wife and kids? It’s a joke. Just imagine if Neo had a wife and kids. The only reason why Neo took the red pill was because he had no attachment, had no wife, no kids, no family. If he had all of that, he would’ve taken the red pill and shoved it up Morpheuses ass.

So she is literally Beast from X-Men. She’s a real life mutant!

How can you disagree with this? The only way I can think of is if you have never experienced a Satori or having never transcended women/sex. You gotta burn that desire someday or it will forever control you and limit your potential.

A thing/object doesn’t exist because an object implies a static thing. Everything is in a flux. Everything is an experience. An object is an accumulation of your senses/perceptions. Matter is an illusion.

Existence is not an object. It is not a "thing." "Things" do not exist. Objects are illusions. It is all no-thing. It is pure Subjectivity. Pure Awareness.

I agree with the hierarchy of needs. My concern is that hardly anybody transcends the need for sex and relationships. They just stay stuck at the stage and never reach the stage of having sex and a relationship with the Universe itself. Maybe you need to chase women and sex for a while to realize that it isn’t everything. That is what I have done. I am here to say that having a connection with the Universe is better than any relationship you can ever have with one woman. But one woman can be very special and can supercharge you for sure, but nothing compares to a Satori. I think Peter Ralston even said that a Satori beats an orgasm every time.

It is no-thing.

Weird. Because your username indicates otherwise.

I made a post and answered it in a video on this topic already.

Thought isn’t ego. Ego is identity. You can use thoughts to deconstruct identities. Think of your thoughts as mental hands that can create and deconstruct things. Thoughts can be tools.

Incels are just victims. They want to blame women instead of taking responsibility. Their minds cannot handle admitting fault or wrongness on their part. If they did, then their victim identity wouldn’t hold.

I figured this would fall on some deaf ears. My point is that I have noticed a trap that I have fallen into and many others have fallen pray to. The trap is chasing women rather than seeking a deep connection with reality first. The issue is that chasing women and sex won’t even fulfill your bodily needs because after you ejaculate, you are left empty and wanting more. The main way to fulfillment is developing a strong direct connection to the Source of existence itself. Until you have built that connection with Source, women and sex are just temporary distractions. Choose your investments wisely. Chasing women can only end in heartbreak one way or another. A connection to Source is your way of transcending Death itself. Romantic relationships are great. But nothing will beat your relationship to Source/God.

I have been thinking about ambition. Ever since I played the video game Uncharted 4, the scene with Hector Alcazar and Sam Drake always sticks to me where Alcazar says that what separates them from the prison guards is their ambition. I define ambition as a strong desire for achieving excellence/success through hard work. Of course, ambition is such an amazing concept in and of itself because ambition is relates to our unique vision and source of life purpose. There is no life purpose without ambition. However, ambition is a tricky because if it is not balanced with satisfaction, then you will end up working yourself to death. Essentially, you will become a workaholic and will become like Christopher Robin. The thing is that Pooh helps Christopher Robin realize in the film the importance of playfulness. It is important to not go to either extreme of Robinworld or Poohworld but to find a balance of playfulness and ambition. That is the key to a fulfilling life. Here is a test for ambition that I found. If anyone can find a better assessment, that would be great. https://mind.help/assessments/ambition-test/ There are certain personality qualities that go into ambition that are interesting to contemplate. I am curious to know your all's thoughts on ambition.

I guess he has no choice? Lol. Determinism is foolish worldview.

It is to let the Universe come inside you and give you orgasms of mind, body, and spirit. The thing is you’re so focused on the body that you are missing 2/3s of yourself; hence, 2/3s of your purpose. It’s funny to think about how many guys are just chasing genitals and sex rather than chasing the source of them.

Not necessarily. If I am God but am depressed, then by definition I am disconnected from Infinite Perfection and Love. Love and perfection are all around me, but I don’t perceive it. Even though the human form is made out of Intelligence and Love, I can be disconnected from that since part of Perfection is allowing myself to be imperfect. Part of Intelligence is allowing myself to be ignorant. Part of Love is allowing me to hate. The way most rats live is having sex with other rats rather than having sex with the Maze. The Maze is already made of love, but the rats love does not match the level of the maze until it surrenders and lets the maze penetrate it with insight.
