It's no secret that he has narcissistic tendencies. Probably Enneagram type 3 or 7 and from a 7ish culture (Netherlands). But I wouldn't conclude that he hasn't "seen" things. From my perception his experiences go very very deep but I also sense that a lot of patterns of him are still active. But I don't follow him that much so I cannot really say anything more about it.

Don't get fooled by nice sounding words and values when in reality the UN (or UNSC) help certain countries to act out war crimes without any punishment. I mean, why would Bush or Blair not be in jail? Because of the UNSC.

A good test would be if one is at least aware during deep dreamless sleep most or some of the time. Most that teach are not of course. But we are speaking not about Awakening but Enlightenment here. So if a "person" is not aware also during his deep dreamless sleep it is fair to say it is not enlightenment.

Well I just want to know what the actual difference is between trading and normal growth. I don't have anything invested in it but I manage some for my brother which are like 27k now since August. He is holding because after 365 days one doesn't have to pay taxes on the profit in Germany (about 40% taxes with trading). So I would like to know if a performance about or more 1.8 times the normal growth is possible with trading (which would result in about the same as just holding because of taxes here in germany).

Yes, but how much more than that 2000%?

@mitch311 just passed the test with my swanwicks...

@ppfeiff and why would there be camps in the first place? I mean, camps in the middle of nowhere with only barracks for the people and houses for the officers outside the camp? Also, why would there be a crematory inside of the camps?

@ppfeiff so what is from your perspective what concentration camps existed for if Hitler was such a nice guy?

How massive are these returns compared to the "normal" growth? For example, did you make more than 600% in the last 6 months?

@ppfeiff it is very complex issue. Yes, he spoke about problems of the money system (which is the same today). Yes, the WW1 reparations and the Versailles Treaty were probably "unfair". Yes mostly jews are running the banks. Yes, the economy was doing pretty bad and a lot of people wanted a change because of it. But the conclusion to kill people based on their race or faith or even disabilites is pretty much insane. Or attack other countries is also quite insane. And no, it is not true that the Germans loved him. There were a lot who didn't like him. I mean, I'm from Germany and I know first hand from relatives that not everyone liked him.

Has anyone here noticed a correlation of the glasses and lucid dreams? I got me some swanwick glasses and had like 2-3 lucid dreams in one week (there could have been other reason though).

@Nahm ok. to me it feels like you had some sort of insight and now you are thinking "this is it". but because it is not really true what are experiencing you now need others to confirm that you "know". Well, if that is the case, I'm not interested.

@Nahm I answered it already. - True spirituality: what is real / true? - Abraham Hicks: how can I get what I want? I didn't say it cannot be useful. All I said it has nothing to do with "true spirituality".

That is the question.

"Spirituality" based on what is true.

Well, I worked for about 1.5 years with about 300 kids from age 3-10. I'm pretty sure to know how kids speak. The conversation above is too conceptual, lacking "sweetness", more immediacy to the present moment, more impulsiveness and more simple words / concepts.

from my experience, kids don't talk like this.

@Nahm I studied the material very intensively and it is obvious it has nothing to do with true spirituality. I mean, e.g. have you ever heard any legit spiritual teacher talking about that it is possible to grow new limbs? Isn't this a little bit insane and foolish?

has nothing to do with enlightenment.

This app helped me with it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.heku.readingtrainer It's more about that you train how you read, becoming more efficient. You can still read slowly and what not, but the main flaws regarding reading that one picked up get resolved with that app. There might be other apps or different platforms that have a similar effect of course.

For example: Gangaji, Mukti, Bernadette Roberts, Anandamayi Ma.
