Well, yesterday I had an experience triggered by a cool scene in an anime, lol. I think music commonly triggers experiences for people.

Since 2012. I haven't been meditating much lately. I stopped about a year ago when meditation was causing crazy chakra activity. Probably when I first took acid on June 30th, 2016. But it was a mild awakening. I took acid dozens of times afterwards. First drug-less euphoria / expanded awareness experience was maybe like 3 years ago when I realized what and where I am.

I went through that phase for a bit, but I'm back to daily enlightenments for now. I think the more time I spend in that state the more I'll learn. I think this is how Sadhguru spends all his time. I can jump to that state of euphoria any moment I want, but for some reason I don't. I think I just need to strengthen that muscle. "Follow the euphoria", is what I'd say?

You've given up on enlightenment? You're missing out dude, they're fun. I had one as recently as yesterday

. . I always thought that the esteemed and honorable, symbol of Green prowess, Mod "Carl", would be listening to Sadhguru or something????

MBTI is coherent enough. Even novices will almost never mistake S for N, given enough information. Two complete novices will come to more agreements than disagreements.

That's why I said "those who understand MBTI"? Two experts will always come to the same conclusion, given the same data.

If 90% of votes were random, and 10% were from those who know MBTI well, then there would still be a clear winner.

. . you watch twitch politics??

Nothing is the same as everything. That's why anything exists at all. You can theorize about the big bang and whatnot, but if none of that happened, and the universe never stopped being nothing, wouldn't that be the most elegant theory possible? No assumptions about anything happening. Just what we know (nothingness must've been the start, if there was a start), and that's it. But since "nothing" never changed into "something", that means it's still nothing, and this is what nothing looks like. Nothing is the only thing that can be everything, as if it was something it couldn't be everything else. To your logic. Solipsism is far more elegant of a solution than your idea of: "it should be assumed that each person is conscious, even if there's no possible way to ever verify this".

The most reputable site of its kind. Statistical accuracy is mostly dependent on sample size. If 1000 people vote, then the probability of the top type being correct is incredibly high. With a large enough sample size, and/or a basic understanding of the theory, this isn't a valid argument. 16personalities.com/country-profiles/global/world Have fun No cultures seem to have any difficulty understanding MBTI.

So you believe there's a difference between everything and nothing? What does nothing look like? Why would you think this? There's no evidence, and it complicates things unnecessarily. If this were true, suddenly time travel becomes impossible, and the mechanics behind talking to dead people suddenly become much more complicated too. Everything becomes much more complicated, while only opening up more questions. You can't just blindly ignore occam's razor.

Who is this "Destiny" all the mods keep talking about?

*On a time-proven system. Here's the thing. Even if MBTI was complete BS with each type being completely random, it would still work thanks to the fact that we have thousands of examples on personality database. Get a list of ENTPs, go "AHA!", and now you know the general vibe of ENTPs! Even a complete novice with a mental impairments will easily spot the difference between an ENTP and an ISFJ. Again, MBTI just gives names to real phenomenon. Instead of "ENTP & ISFJ" you could just say "cool unconventional nerd & traditional, moral parent". But the MBTI system is obviously the better alternative. No. Some cultures may prefer "nerdy" or "sensor" or "success-driven" types more than others, sure. But different cultures aren't gonna have different interpretations of Ti. Ti has a clear definition and I highly doubt you'll find a culture that already has a concept of "Ti" in their society with strict definitions that differ from MBTI's. Speak for yourself, man. You're an affiliative type, and non-systematic thinker, so according to MBTI you would, indeed, have all of these problems you've just listed. I, for example, am not at all biased in my typing. What could intentionally mistyping someone (because you don't like them?) possibly accomplish? If I hated someone and wanted to make them suffer, I'd be extra careful to type them accurately so I can manipulate them effectively. What you mean?

Well it's kind of self-explanatory. Information is.. "data in formation". There is only one substance in existence. Consciousness. There's nothing else. Consciousness is the stuff you use to imagine e.g. seeing a lemon in your mind's eye, or feeling its texture, or smelling it. You can even imagine a whole planet/galaxy/universe with it. Notice how it has no limitations? Why would you need anything else? Everyone has direct experience that consciousness alone can create everything in the universe, it's a fact, so why would you think there's something else? The products of consciousness have no basis as consciousness is not governed by any higher power. That's why we call it God. If I had to be more specific on what the stuff consciousness produces is, it's data/information. You just don't get it yet. You're too caught up in systems thinking as you've become accustomed to in your life. You need to stop treating consciousness as just another theory that has an answer imbedded somewhere within the physical, within the materialistic paradigm. Consciousness precedes understanding/theorizing. You will only realize this after direct experience. Thinking harder won't help. Who would be aware of the other objects? Sure you can split yourself up and parallel-process, I know of such people, but what for? There's no rush. And if you don't split up, why would you think there's anything outside of you? It's just a guess. But why would you make such a guess with zero reason to think this? The appearance of others making conscious decisions can only ever be just that. Just an appearance. And appearances alone are not evidence of consciousness. If this is confusing, just consider the role of appearance/graphics in video games. Blood in a game is just visual data put in place so the game makes sense, is consistent, and believable.

I was actually considering sharing this video here too a while ago. Frank basically says "I disagree completely" and then ends up saying the exact same stuff as Leo.

Data is unstructured information. Information is might be "a black rock", and a piece of data from this could be blackness, for example. What reason have you to believe there are other consciousnesses out there? Have you direct experience of this?

The alternative is that there are things outside of you, not part of you, which are disconnected from you, and not in union with you. The very idea of separation being a possibility = loneliness.

There is no "reality", with time/distance/matter/etc. There's just data. We're not together in some "reality" as the concept itself is just an illusion we create for ourselves. I only say "we" as I'm talking within the frame of the illusion. God creates his own reality, every second, and all the people in it. No two moments are the same. You're not the same person you were yesterday, that's just another part of the illusion. Wherever I go, the world adapts to me, as I am it. I change = the world changes. The reason you don't disappear whenever I "change" is because you change with me, because you are me. Whatever version of "you" I'm speaking to now is the version of you that's in my reality. As such, all events / laws of physics / logic / etc. will all be the same to both of us. You may have always been in a reality with "no aliens", for example, but now that a version of you is in my reality, it will be subject to my whims and intents. My intuition overrides yours, as intuition works as intent, and my intent is the only intent in my reality. Now, if I were to ever live your life, then @thisintegrated would adapt to whatever direction I'd take your life, and your intuition would then be right.

They will think you're one of 'em stage Greens..?? "Greenstagers"??

It's not that simple. There is no reason to think we're in the same reality, because we're not. Your intuition may be right, but that doesn't mean much to anyone else.

MBTI isn't personality types, but "Information metabolism".

Who is this for? Addicts?

Yes. As I keep saying, you're right. Leo is part of the illusion, he's not the gatekeeper of solipsism. You don't need his approval. And sooner or later, you'll have to drop Actualized entirely.

Leo will answer in the form of a new solipsism course, for $1000 But yes, of course it's non-concurrent. Otherwise it wouldn't be solipsism. Concurrent would mean there are "others", and they're playing a multiplayer game with you right now.
