Your fine man, he doesn't like critiques of Jordan Peterson. He identifies too closely with him so attacking Jordan Peterson to him feels like a personal attack against himself.

^Completely true

After I took a psychedelic mushroom it literally rewired my brain and supercharged my meditations. Here are a couple of things it did. 1. It quieted the mind. Made my thoughts not as loud so it is easier to not get pulled into thought thus increasing my concentration and ability to be present. 2. It increased my awareness slightly, allowing me to have increased meditation practices. Just in the last 2 days I almost left my body twice off meditation (the fear stopped me lol) so psychedelics are VERY important to this process. Ignore any Guru who says otherwise. What almost happened to me: https://www.iflscience.com/you-can-meditate-yourself-into-a-neardeath-experience-and-if-you-practice-you-can-get-better-at-it-50898 3. I have only done a mushrooms once, and ate an edible once and I have never drank or smoked or did any drugs prior to this and those two things gave me a Kundalini Awakening. So I can confirm that psychedelics are a powerful tool that will prevent you having to spend decades doing meditation and I thank Leo for revealing this. But at the end of the day it is your decision. Note: I am not a master or experienced meditator I just started doing meditation this year and psychedelics have pushed me further than a beginner would normally be at.

^ This right here is all of life. All of life is just a dopamine game until you realize that nothing outside of you will make you happy. You only feel this way because you are young and haven't lived life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO0sZMAn_Cw&t=3s&ab_channel=ActualizedClips

^ This is so true and it is hilarious!!! I wish people could see this. But eventually they will....

^ This absolutely this. I have been where you are. You don't love what you are doing but you are trying to FORCE yourself to do it. Life is all about flow, if you aren't flowing you aren't doing it right. You can no more FORCE yourself than you can FORCE another. You have two things you need to figure out. 1. What do you most enjoy doing so much you would do it for FREE!!! 2. How to earn a living doing what you would do for FREE. If you can pull this off....everyday will be paid to play because if you are enjoying something it isn't work its play.

We are in a recession. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/28/1113649843/gdp-2q-economy-2022-recession-two-quarters The definition of a recession is 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth. Recently President Joe Biden's administration has been trying to change the definition of what a recession is (with the help of the media) but I'm sorry you can't go around changing definitions when they don't suit you. America is in a recession anything else is lies. Benefits of a recession. 1. Its the best time to start a business. 2. If you stay with your employer throughout the recession you will probably get promoted for loyalty throughout. 3. Best time to get into investments as new companies enter in and you could pick a winner. Cons 1. Inflation 2. Crime can increase 3. Mental Health of loved ones will usually take a dive Strap yourselves in, we are going to be in this for a minimum of 2 years but will probably take 4 years to fully leave it completely and get back to how things were before.

......We step on ants everyday....and you are talking about suffering? From an ants perspective our cruelty knows no bounds. Not to mention all the other insects and plants we kill. Don't even get started on our meat factories. A Lion brutally kills its prey, a frog during famine eats its own young. Its infinity. Infinity means anything that can ever be, must be. So everything has to be the way it is....because its infinite. You may not like the answer....but that is the way it is. If it wasn't infinite....we couldn't even be here to complain in the first place. You can't have the current life you have without it being infinite. The moment you can realize what that means...you won't even question why everything is the way it is. https://faunafacts.com/ants/ant-extinction/

I am completely confused by this comment. That is a masterful accomplishment....

The same level of desire/motivation it takes for someone to change their life, is the same level of desire/motivation it takes for someone to take their life. When you want something bad enough, nothing will stop you.

You see what you are, because you are all that is, so yes if I say someone is projecting then I am projecting as well because whatever is in your awareness is there because its what you are bringing up. But being able to point out your own projections and projections of others allows you to escape the grip of the character/ ego (every gathered opinion) and allows you to truly see things clearly. You can only see things clearly (clarity) if you are honest. As long as you are stuck on your perspective that is all you will ever know and you will be unable to grow and that will be your reality. Also projection is not a judgment, projection is a label. I notice a lot of you all get judgment and discernment label confused. A judgment is saying something is bad, a label is just a tool to discern something. Example: I see an apple next to an orange. = I have created a label which signifies a difference between the red circular object and the orange circular object. An apple is better than an orange. = Judgment. Judgment is always context related, as it puts a value on something in relation to something. We do it all the time without realizing it because we are always chasing goals. So we could say being nice is better than being mean if you want friends. So we just judged mean as inferior to nice in relation to the goal towards friendship. Judgment is ultimately based on values, our concept of good and bad based on the different identities we have constructed and our limited understandings of how we think things should work or be. We all do this constantly in various ways, I'm not immune to this nor have I ever claimed to be. But if you are open to dissecting how this works further...go ahead I'm open to it. But let's throw away the pointing finger, the pointing finger always points back. Its how karma works, and how infinity works. The paradox is what you put out always returns, and what you see as one, is also the other. All conflict is pure comedy because its akin to a man arguing with the reflection in his mirror. Again I haven't transcended this but I am truly aware of how funny it all is. The truth is we are all hypocrites, so I love it when someone tries to debunk me or say you are doing it too!! Of course I am, I'm YOU!!!

I believe comedy is paradox, so for example we like to make fun of the hypocritical nature of us humans!!! Infinity has no choice but be paradoxical and and that lies at the heart of comedy.

Love is identity, why do you think that is a problem? Its not. If you form an identity around it great!!! The path to dropping all attachment is a process!! I'm sure you heard of burning through karma right? The attachment drops when you are done with it. All love comes from us, we mistakenly think the thing we are loving is the source of our love when we fall in love with it. Nothing wrong with this. But eventually it falls away because we realize it was never the thing we wanted, it was us, our love we wanted. But its a process, so enjoy the process!!! Nothing is wrong, everything is fine!!!

You can be friends with anyone, even people that annoy you and you annoy them. Many of my friends are annoyed by me and I annoyed by them at times and we are still friends. All you need to have friends especially online friends which is even easier is acceptance that you are going to rub each other the wrong way at times and an acceptance of that. Its easy, not even hard especially when people know the intention or motivation behind all of your words/actions. You gave a lot of disclaimers of who you don't want as a friend....that's a long list of no's you have created. I don't know if you realize....but your entire post is discriminatory. You could just as well replace the words, low consciousness, and barbaric, with the words poor, or some race or sexual orientation. You can't complain about people being discriminatory.....and then be discriminatory. Not saying you have to be buddy buddy but you are displaying the same traits you are complaining about.

Listen to this story of Ari Shaffir's Salvia Trip If you doubt you are living a dream....listen to this report. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qc7xAq29J7Y&ab_channel=TheoVonClips

This is true...something I still need to work on. But I was aware of this, but good job noticing it.

All judgment is projection, you see what you are not what is there. To call someone arrogant means you are arrogant and to call someone unempathetic is to be unempathetic. A humble man does not see arrogance, only an arrogant man can see arrogance. Arrogance= the person thinks too highly of themselves, to think someone thinks too highly of themselves means you think they don't know their place. For someone to have a place, means you believe you know better...which is arrogance and pride. To see someone as lacking empathy means you view their action as unloving, or lacking in emotion. All human behavior is driven by emotion. So to see a lack of emotion means you are no connecting with the emotion that is driving that action, thus you judge it devoid of emotion. A loving person can see the intent behind a person's actions and understands them. This is why the judger is the judged. The moment you judge another, you have just judged yourself. You cannot escape this. Every single one of your responses...reveals how you feel about others. Because how you feel about others is how you feel about yourself.

1. Calling someone disrespectful is projection. I could make the same claim based on the many assumptions you have laid waste in your diatribe. 2. Suffering? Suffering is a creation of the mind. It has been proven for thousands of years that there are various techniques to alleviate suffering because it is caused by issues with awareness and lack of control with the mind. There is even research out there with techniques to alleviate pain. As long as you project this victim mindset of woah is me you prevent yourself and others from finding out these solutions. 3. I struggled with concentration issues growing up, I struggled with being bullied, I've had a gun put to my head, and been jumped by gang members. Throwing out hard times as evidence of suffering is a waste of time, suffering is a result of ignorance. I once suffered and sought out ways to cope and eventually overcame it. 4. I'm a black man in America and you actually think you have gone through worse crap than me? What reality do you live in? The difference is BECAUSE I have gone through the crap I have gone through I understand that I suffered because I didn't have the right perspective. Which is why I searched for answers my entire life and eventually discovered what I needed. We don't need people going around labeling people as victims, you take their power away, and prevent them from overcoming their situations. Instead seek solutions alternative solutions, there are many sources outside modern practices that have helped hundreds to thousands of people. I already posted a video earlier of a guy who healed himself from chest down paralysis. As long as you think conventionally you will be stuck in that cycle of labeling, victimization, and learned helplessness.

As a guy I want the few woman on this forum to express what it is they (realistically) would desire from a male/female relationship. But first a few disclaimers: This is not an exclusionary thread, if you want to make a thread of Bi sexualism, homosexualism, transgender relationships you are welcome to make your own thread in fact you are encouraged. This thread is just one I want to make because I am trying to reach an even deeper level of understanding of what I already know currently in my life experiences as a heterosexual guy. Now with that out of the way, ladies I welcome you to think long and hard about this. This thread can help you understand what it is you desire in a partner and also what you contribute. So here we go!! 1. As a feminine woman what qualities would you most want in a man for a long-term relationship? After you decide that, how best would your own qualities compliment those qualities you desire to see in a man? 2. Why do you want to be in a romantic relationship in the first place? Do you believe you are trying to gain one to fix or cover an insecurity? 3. If you were to sum up in your opinion what you would want a man's role to be in a relationship in one word what would it be? And for your role what would it be? As life is not static how comfortable would you be with those roles being reversed due to life circumstances? 4. Do you consider yourself to be a patient person? How judgmental do you think you are? Do you believe you could stay with a partner who changes over time into a different person like from a funny person to a deep introspective person or vice versa? 5. How important is career to you in a relationship? How important would it be to have kids? 6. Do you have a tendency to look for your partner to make you happy or do you take your own personal happiness as your own responsibility? Do you attract partners who look to you to make them happy? **This thread is for women*** I am pretty sure some men are still going to enter in and say their piece. If you are, don't derail the thread or make any judgments. This is just for exploration and discovery purposes for all involved. Let's not bring in our personal histories in dating and project them onto each other in here. Thank you for your interest! For fun look at Chris Rock's explanation. I rather like it. This is just for laughs....but there is truth present as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT4Z4Blss0U&ab_channel=AfricaOnNetflix

Why am I even wasting my time, you are just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. If you take the Non-Dual perspective then I am you and you are me, which means we cannot even have a conversation since there is only one. You need two to have a conversation, so we are just two thoughts interacting in universal mind. You can't take a relative argument and since you can't refute it you run to the NON-DUAL perspective. With the NON-DUAL perspective there isn't anything that needs to be said about polarization. At this point your just playing games and not being honest. But whatever play your games man.

Here is a video of Rupert Spira talking around the subject. Its interesting how he dances around it. It might be he wants his students to find out for themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0cjm7kGw-I&ab_channel=RupertSpira

1. If that was true you wouldn't be responding to this thread. Responding to this thread is service to others. You'd only be doing this if it was some way to get the poster under your control as the Service To Self Path is all about control. 2. The next contradiction is your statement is a humble statement which contradicts unless it is a scheme you are using to draws other in to control them. So either you are full of crap or are playing games to get the the OP to come under your guidance so you can exploit them. Remember Hitler was not Service to Self Oriented enough to be considered Negative Polarity. Look up Gheghis Khan and Vlad the Impaler those 2 were listed as negative polarity and I am pretty sure you aren't even close to Hitler level which means YOU ARE NOT considered negative polarity.

There isn't any real evidence for ADHD most Clinical Psychologists actually admit this. In truth it actually doesn't exist and is overwhelmingly diagnosed in young boys. If you look into the history on why this has been the case and what changed as far as how the school system was set up in Western Culture (The Prussian School System) you would understand why this was the case. In truth most issues with concentration are a result of overstimulation due to modern technology which is why most people born in modern culture struggle with attention issues. Recently when I took a psychedelic a couple of months ago it changed the wiring of my brain and increased my ability to concentrate by quieting the mind. Most neuroplasticity is heavily influenced by the environment. If you took a kid away from technology long enough his brain will reorganize the wiring and he will be able to concentrate. When I entered basic training over a decade ago we basically had no contact with T.V. or internet the entire time we were there. About 2 weeks in you notice your ability to concentrate skyrocket. When I left and went back to watching T.V. and perusing the internet those issues returned. So most of these issues...are just environmental based on social and physiological conditioning.

I noticed today of the importance of staying in an aware state and being accountable in that moment. I realize that even with my awareness I give in to base desires at times. I also am struggling to understand when to deploy masculine love and when to deploy feminine love.

Look at this picture and what do you think? Think of the brick as all of reality....notice how color helps sell the idea of separation.
