Anyone who calls himself a "shaman" isn't a shaman. He is just appropriating a term from another culture. It also helps to dress up. Even Sadhguru has a robe and a turban.

This is more likely than enlightenment: Additionally, the DEA notes that high doses of DXM can produce various side effects, such as: confusion inappropriate laughter agitation paranoia sensory changes, such as the feeling of floating overexcitability tiredness slurred speech sweating high blood pressure nausea vomiting involuntary eye movements https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dxm-trip#side-effects

I don't know why people are so surprised by grifters like Chopra. It's the normal. Finding someone who is real is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I don’t like spiral dynamics and reducing serious discussions into how colors relate to each other. I think psychedelics are hugely overrated here and I don’t believe they can awaken anyone.

Shinzen Young couldn’t meditate until he practiced under a Vajrayana master in Japan. Tibetan Buddhists call it mind training. It takes dedicated effort to slow down the momentum of the mind. Most lazy westerners give up or fall under the delusion that taking a drug will do the same thing.

This is a highly simplified overview of the six realms teachings. Although the traditional teachings present them as metaphysical realms, in trantric psychology, they are closer to psychological states that aid in transformation. There are many version of these teachings, primarily in Tibetan Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism. Since this is simplified and the complete teachings go into much greater depth, be cautious about using this simplified form of the teachings. For example, this is not personality typing. Use the teachings with the intention of liberating yourself from unskillful patterns. Focus on the underlying dynamics of the behavior, what is the motivation, beliefs, and intentions driving complex behavior. You want to catch certain thoughts and behaviors in the act (e.g., “That thought is how a hungry ghost thinks, but I am not a hungry ghost, I am a human being”). It’s best to receive the complete transmission directly from a qualified teacher. Tantric psychology focuses on transformation and alchemy, using the poisons of the mind as vehicles for liberation. Nothing is seen as bad. This is total inclusion and radical alchemy. Think of the beautiful lotus (liberation) that arises from the mud (the three poisons). Liberation is experienced in the here and now. The focus is embodiment and not on transcendental experience. The six realms: 1. Hell Realm A victim mentality with the emotion of hatred/bitterness. Blaming others is here. 2. Hungry Ghost Realm Insatiable searching outside oneself with the emotion of desperation. Drug addiction could be here. Searching for the next fashionable teacher but never satisfied. 3. Animal Realm Need for comfort and safety with emotions of fear and/or compulsive desire. Laziness is here. The comfort zone. A numbed-out state of consciousness. 4. Titan Realm Need for self-worth proven by accomplishments with emotions of jealousy, envy pride. Competitive American culture is here. 5. God Realm Believing one to be special and elevated with emotion of infatuation. Deluded spiritual teachers are here. 6. Human-mind Realm Need to feel in control through understanding with emotions of insecurity and fear. Conspiracy theorists are here. Each Realm has four levels of intensity going from weak to stronger: fixation, delusion, partial possession, full possession. It is interesting to note that in early psychology, mental illness was called possession. Fixation is where you develop a habit. Delusion is where the habit shapes your world view. Partial possession is where the energy of the realm speaks through you (e.g., “first you take a drink, then the drink takes you”). In full possession, awareness is extinguished and actions become purely compulsive and reactive. You can temporarily hang out in any one the six realms or there can be one of the realms where you tend to live. This version of the teachings is from below, but any errors here are stictly mine. Opening the Heart of Compassion by Lar Short Tantra Illuminated https://www.tantrailluminated.org/ The Wheel of Life Mandala The core contains the seeds of enlightenment, the pig (ignorance), the snake (hatred), and the rooster (attachment). The six realms are in the middle. As long as you are in the six realms you are in the wheel of samsara and you are suffering. The Bodhisattvas of Compassion and Buddha outside the wheel are guides for those seeking to exit the wheel. Yama, the lord of death, holding the wheel is meant to to shock practioners into realizing the urgency of seeking enlightenment before their time runs out.

There is a subcontext of power relationship going on here. There was a point where the guy was pushing and Vitality was threatening violence. It is clear to me looking at the two of them if Vitality had moved to blows he would have been missing his front teeth and both of them knew it. But in my opinion the man was highly skillful in telling off the asshole and pushing it while remaining calm and never threatening force. Telling him right to his face in a nice way that he was a low-life prick. And he was doing it for the right cause – confronting an asshole bully that was making a living tormenting poor working people. Also, people who watch this shit and are entertained are equally low life. They support it by making it profitable.

This is the best video I have seen on how to recover from this disaster. It gives a hopeful scenario.

He was good in maintaining his calmness while confronting a total asshole.

We are all Palestinians now. Why Israeli counterterrorism tactics are showing up in Minnesota https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-ice-minneapolis/#:~:text=ICE officers in particular have,the American public%2C including citizens. "ICE and CBP agents have since developed a close relationship with their counterparts in Israel, allowing them to trade notes on tactics and technology. DHS has organized conferences with Israeli security officials, held joint training sessions, and even given grants to Israeli officers in order to do research on areas like countering violent extremism, according to a former senior DHS official."

You are going to be bullied in boot camp. You may want to look at that part of you that is seeking out an environment where it can be bullied even more.

I lived in Mexico for 10 years, and Mexicans know how to roll with the punches. They aren't going anywhere. It's time to bring back Santana's "Migra".

Bolsen recently put out a video everyone should look at. He said that the reason Americans are so shocked is because they bought the lie and still believe there are good guys that are going to rescue them. But it is all planned and nobody is coming to save you. “You are not watching a broken system. You’re watching the system operate normally”.

Or their big money donors are telling them to stand down. We are on our own. The politicians aren't going to save us.

Is there any evidence that ICE in America is being trained by IDF? "Yes, there are multiple reports, whistleblower accounts, and documented programs indicating that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and officials have participated in training exchanges with Israeli security forces, which include elements of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). These connections are often framed as part of broader U.S.-Israel law enforcement collaborations focused on border security, counterterrorism, and surveillance tactics. While not all ICE personnel undergo such training, evidence points to sponsored trips, seminars, and technology sharing that bring Israeli methods to U.S. operations.Key evidence includes:A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request revealed that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) sponsored a trip for ICE's then-deputy director to train with the Israeli military in 2018, learning techniques from their occupation and border control practices. jewishvoiceforpeace.org This was part of ongoing exchanges criticized for importing aggressive tactics used in the Palestinian territories to U.S. immigration enforcement.The "Deadly Exchange" campaign by Jewish Voice for Peace and others documents how ICE officers, along with other U.S. law enforcement, have trained with Israeli military and police forces for decades. These programs emphasize stopping "crime before it reaches the U.S." through cooperation, including seminars in Israel funded by groups like the ADL and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. deadlyexchange.org +1 Whistleblower Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret, has publicly stated that ICE agents train with Israeli forces and bring back oppressive methods, such as those used in controlling populations, to U.S. streets. He highlighted this in interviews and social media, linking it to tactics observed in ICE operations. facebook.com +2 ICE maintains an office in Tel Aviv as part of its global network for international law enforcement cooperation, which facilitates training and intelligence sharing with Israeli entities, including those tied to the IDF. instagram.com Reports also note ICE's use of Israeli-made spyware, like that from Paragon Solutions, for hacking and surveillance, further tying operational methods to Israeli military tech. theguardian.com +1 Journalistic analyses from outlets like Palestine Chronicle, Truthout, Defector, and Mondoweiss describe how ICE's tactics—such as rapid detentions, high arrest quotas, and minimal accountability—mirror those of the IDF, with direct links through these exchanges. palestinechronicle.com +3 These reports often critique the programs as enabling a "transnational nexus of state control" involving surveillance and violence.On X (formerly Twitter), recent discussions—especially around a January 2026 ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis—frequently reference these training ties, with users claiming IDF influence leads to aggressive U.S. tactics. Some posts allege ex-IDF soldiers are embedded in ICE, though official records don't confirm specific numbers like "121 in Chicago." @grok Critics, including activist groups and some media, argue these programs promote militarized immigration enforcement, while supporters view them as valuable for countering threats like terrorism and human trafficking. Official ICE statements emphasize international partnerships for security but don't detail IDF-specific training. Skeptics on platforms like Reddit call for more granular evidence of what exact tactics are implemented. reddit.com Overall, the evidence stems largely from progressive and Palestinian rights sources, with limited counterarguments in mainstream outlets, though no outright denials from ICE or DHS appear in recent reporting.
