You can get to a point to where you realize that psychedelics, plants, and drugs are hallucinated by your own consciousness. Awakening isn’t found in a drug but in a shift in your consciousness. Can drugs create this shift? For some, it can. For some, it can’t. To say drugs produce awakening is an oversimplification. If it did, then everyone who took a massive amount of psychedelics would be Awake. But this does not seem to be the case. The reality is the self-deception is always a battle. It is possible that certain trips can open you up to more delusion. It is possible to be fooled by false insights. The question comes back again of how do you really know for certain what is true? Truth is the present moment and so much more. The only way I think to discern Truth is massive contemplation. The issue is that people take psychedelics when they are ungrounded, unstable, and don’t know how to truly contemplate. The litmus test is if you can’t experience Awakening right now in this present moment completely sober, then what kind of Awakening do you really have? Just a memory?? Well, then your Awakening then is no more actual than my last night’s dream. -
😊🙏 That was the only part I respectfully disagreed about. But I am glad you kept it in because it helped me articulate additional thoughts.

The question now is, can you learn to think deeply on your own and fall in love with your own intelligence rather than the intelligence of ChatGPT? Do you see how if you are reliant on external resources, then it will be very hard to fall in love with your own internal resources? One of the most beautiful things in life is being able to fall in love with your own mind and intelligence. It just baffles me what kinds of insights I am able to derive on my own. Of course, I still use ChatGPT, Google, and Facebook, but I take the dangers of these tools very seriously and I now use them in moderation. The issue is people aren’t taking the dangers of technology and AI seriously. They don’t see the difference between a tool and a weapon. An object is both a tool and a weapon. I notice a lot of people focus more on the tool part of an object than they do on the weapon part. There is a power of reading through an entire article and book rather than having ChatGPT summarize it for you. I think ChatGPT will help us achieve great things, but it will also make us very cognitively lazy.

To play God’s Advocate, memory you could argue is also a tool. And like you said in the beginning, they can be good or bad depending on how we use them. Memories don’t cause trauma, it is our reaction and how we interpret the situation. Memory also can produce happiness as well. The issue still remains that we are becoming more unconscious to our own intellectual gifts when we delegate our inner cognitive resources to ChatGPT, FaceBook, Actualized.org, or whatever. Leo is great, but I see too many folks relying on him to contemplate for them. You know those folks who are asking for a video on such and such topic. I’m like “dude! Just contemplate it for yourself and study the shit out of that topic for yourself! You don’t need another human being to tell you the grass is green!” This is just one example. Leo gives a lot of value, but the ultimate value comes from yourself and ability to fall in love with your own intelligence.

That’s like saying “guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” What this argument fails to grasp is that they dismiss the dangers of a certain technology/weapon. Not everything is a tool. Guns and nukes are weapons. If they were tools, then you would keep them in a toolbox and not in a safe. The issue is that certain technologies bring about more unconsciousness in society. It is ignorant to assume that everyone is at a monk level control of their mind to where they are able to not allow themselves to go into unconsciousness. There is a reason why we have advertisements and other technology, because it works in getting attention and altering peoples consciousness.

It’s true. Tate isn’t posted as much, which is great. I just see a little hypocrisy that we cannot post Connor Murphy content but we can have a free day with Andrew Tate content.
-
I think she gives a good analysis of Tate Hate. Andrew Tate is not a good role model. It’s basically asking the Devil for advice and admiring Satan lol. Tate is full of ego. You can hear it in his voice and see it in his actions. I am glad you found motivation, but I feel like you haven’t found it from the right place. You gotta aspire to self-motivation and self- leadership and learn it.

I’m curious. Why do you turn down inner-happiness?
-
Being able to have sex with yourself and with the Universe is the highest act of love you can do. What if you could let the Universe come into your mind and heart? You don’t need a girlfriend. You can be happy without one.

Awakening is not found in a drug. It is found through insight into Truth. Truth isn’t a state of consciousness. It is all states of consciousness. -

Leo’s conception doesn’t matter. It is a distraction. Your conception is more important. Your ability to derive your own answers is more important. Don’t kiss Leo’s feet. Kiss the ground he is standing on instead. -
It’s not healthy to do this. Masturbation is actually healthy for you and reduces risk of prostate cancer. It also increases self-love and self- kindness. I see no issue if you are masturbating to porn or to your own imagination. I think where it gets toxic is if you are watching porn rather than cum and be done.

First start with becoming deeply curious and infatuated with Reality. Then, say positive affirmations such as “I love myself! I love the Universe! Thank you God!” Then, contemplate reality deeply. Then, become silent in meditation and let the Universe penetrate you with a mindgasm and heartgasm with Love and Insight.

I think the existence of God is pretty simple. Even as an atheist, I could not deny the idea of an intelligent source or first cause. The issue I had was that an all good, powerful God could not exist because of evil. But I realized that it has to exist because of balance and infinity. The simplest way to prove God is to meditate and become aware of the intelligence all around you. Realize that you are made out of intelligence. Evolution is made of intelligence. There is a higher intelligence at work that allows everything to exist in balance. You can feel the life force all around you. It seems foolish to deny Absolute Order and Intelligence. You are intelligent; therefore, there is a higher intelligence at work. An atheist is arrogant because they believe they are smarter than the Universe. No, the Universe is smarter than you. -
Sex is more fundamental to reality than you think. If the purpose of the Universe is Love and Creation, then you can see that all spirituality is essentially about having sex with reality. The issue is that Freud’s notion of sex is too shallow. Instead of focusing on having sex with a woman, focus instead on letting the Universe penetrate you with Absolute Love. Reproduction is the essence of life. Reproduction is creation, connection, and love.

I had an insight that no amount of sex or romance will make you happy and fulfilled. After you have sex, you are left empty and wanting more. When you are with someone, it is easy to self-sacrifice. Love isn’t self-sacrifice. The happiest I have ever been was when I was alone, having sex with the Universe. -

Great insights! 😊 Now, let’s go one step further and see if you can pinpoint the specifics of how your insights came about. -
They already did, apparently.

Another insight is that action > insight. It doesn’t matter how many insights you have or how deep of an insight you have. If your actions do not change, if your life doesn’t change, if your attitude doesn’t change, then what is the point of your insight and how deep did you really comprehend it? You see, if your actions don’t change, then your insight is worth nothing. If you realize God and Love but act like a Devil, then you didn’t really realize God and Love. Focus instead on action, of showing up and taking massive action. Focus on the process. Insights are a result of your actions. And new actions should be the result of insight. Application is important. -

Borders are imaginary like money and like Santa Clause. Just because we say it is real doesn’t mean it is. Reality is a stage and we are all actors. -
The only answer I have come up with is that the Matrix isn’t a computer simulation but is a psychological simulation of self-deception. The Matrix is this physical universe. Consciousness had to deceive itself in order to create reality. Your hands are inside of the Matrix. Everything you perceive is in the Matrix. Everything around you is a self-deception. It is all a mind game. Language is part of this Matrix system. Thoughts are just mental noises that point to things within the Matrix. How do we break free from the Matrix? Technically you can’t. That is called death but even death is part of the simulation. One of the best ways is meditation. Meditation is the process of becoming aware of how consciousness is creating this simulation. We cannot escape what we are not aware of. Leo made a video about us not being in a simulation, but he really should have titled the video Why We Are Not In A Computer Simulation instead of just titling it Why Reality Cannot Be A Simulation. Because reality is a simulation. Think about it. Simulation is defined as the act of pretending and deception. This is precisely what reality is! Reality is a stage in which we are mere characters playing through the script of the Universe. We are all acting. We are all deceiving. We are in a simulation, just not a computer one because a computer is part of the Simulation. What are your alls thoughts? What is the Matrix really? How do we escape it? Leo talked a lot about the social matrix and about the Devil, but I am sensing that these are similar but also different things.

My hand cannot grasp itself because it is itself. To grasp is to assume a duality between what is grasped and the thing the grasps. The hand itself cannot grasp itself in the same way that you cannot bite your own teeth. But here is the interesting paradox. If the hand cannot grasp itself, then how can God create/grasp itself? Can a hand create itself into existence if it cannot be grasped? If that is the case, then God cannot grasp its own self. This is what I argue that Enlightenment/Awakening is imaginary. It is impossible to awaken to God or realize God because God cannot grasp itself because it is itself. It is Infinity! Being is prior to knowing. The hand exists prior to being grasped. These are my initial thoughts, but I will contemplate this deeper.

But there is divinity to self-deception. It is a miracle that it exists at all. -
I’m not going to screen shot it for you. Shorts relies on watch history. Every time I open shorts, it says to turn on watch history to access shorts. I can always search for shorts I want, but it won’t recommend me any shorts because I have no watch history. Even if you get the normy shorts, which I did for a while, it is easier to manage than ones that tailor to your addiction.

It works for some but most get more addicted and some even die from overdose. Burning through karma doesn’t work for every addiction. Telling an opioid addict to increase their dose won’t be helpful. No doctor will recommend this. Notice that.
