Should a gay baker be forced to make a cake for the Westboro Baptist Church? Should a Jew have to bake a cake for Hitler's birthday? Should a black web designer have to design a website for the Ku Klux Klan? Clearly not. In other fields, refusal of service is illegal. A doctor HAS to treat a patient for example, even if the patient was Himmler. This is how it should be. And you should be allowed to refuse your videos to white Christians. Of course, it would be a terrible business decision since I notice a number of Christian leaning fans of your work. -

Have you ever noticed how symbolic LSD trips are? I find that very interesting and very odd... That the mind is able to present cryptic clues which I consciously cannot actually understand or have to decipher. Rarely on DMT trips also. But LSD is major on symbolism and abstract thought. -

Nobody outside of, say, doctors and gov officials, should be compelled to complete work they do not want to do. Period. Their biases may impact their business, there is already a consequence. Affirmative action is an absolute DISGRACE and should never have existed. Keep band-aiding black poverty for votes like the frauds that they are and nothing changes. The fix clearly is to support businesses in black areas, hearts and minds campaign with law enforcement to rebuild trust in black communities (law and order being seen as the enemy leads to idolization of gang culture), money to schools in black areas. Empower black communities by providing jobs, education... Take the "reparations" billions and shove it into enriching these ghetto areas. -

This is the current state of things. Extremism leading to extremism leading to extremism. Dem party is psychotic, I follow a lot of detransitioners as well as transexuals to help understand what is going on. You would be very surprised at the lax approach enforced in transitioning children with almost zero psych evaluation. For some reason parties have picked this as THE hill to fight and die on. There are some other issues of course (RIDICULOUS laws allowing looting and vandalism etc) but right now that is like the battleground where voters are picked. Kennedy is left wing but will end this one-upmanship of extremism. There are some other third party candidates also who you might want to consider... Ron, Trump, Weekend at Bernie's (AKA Biden), is the path towards a civil war... ANY candidate who will actively fight this insane extremism would be ideal. It doesn't have to be Kennedy but he has a good shot since likely Biden will die or be incompetent soon. -

He has to actually meet foreign world leaders. Other countries look at the man and view America as weak. Kennedy has pledged to unite America and stop the descent towards civil war. I would seriously suggest considering him at least. Just consider it. I don't even enjoy the conspiracy stuff either. -
OldManCorcoran replied to Hardkill's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I don't think you can expect a human being to be perfect. Biden and Trump are arguably straight up corrupt mouthpieces. All my friends will vote RFK. RFK wants to bridge the gap between Americans on both sides of the aisle. Trump or Biden = a vote towards civil war. -
OldManCorcoran replied to Hardkill's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Donald is a literal psychopath though, RFK is a good man he's just crazy. Biden has literal dementia and honestly is unlikely to actually be competent through to 2028. So really you're voting for the VP. -

Great information and thank you for the video. Regarding this in particular, I often find it difficult to understand why people get so furious about what to me just seems like clear logical facts. Do you know why you used to feel so angered/offended? -
OldManCorcoran replied to Hardkill's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
He isn't, he literally believes these things. He is literally a conspiracy theorist. It's not an act. I appreciate wrong honesty more than just lies, so I like the man. -

Check Google, this is VERY common. Particularly Lakshmi, in people without knowledge of these archetypes... -

@Adrian colby Certainly it would be found in the brain. If we aren't discussing spiritual things, then the mind as people know it literally is the brain. On any other board I would state that bluntly, obviously here it's a bit different as people have a very developed idea of what the mind actually is. But you can't make that inversion with random people. In many years from now as tech advances, any internal condition should be located in the physical brain. Including depression, anxiety, OCD, etc, with pinpoint accuracy. As I see it, psychology is a quack profession and when that age arrives, will be seen exactly as we today see medieval leech practices and trepanning or w.e. it was called. In the future there will be medication and surgeries for mental illnesses or anomalies. This would be critical for treatment because a kid who comes in and says "I'm really a boy!" you could examine their brain and say "no you're just being socially influenced" or "ah yes, I see you have gene CR-82848, I will prescribe you a course of hormone blockers" etc... Or perhaps more desirably if tech makes it possible "here's some medicine that will make you align with your sex". As that wouldn't require numerous surgeries and permanent wounds etc. I am still interested to hear that element of the autism link though maybe it's in the other thread. I feel the same as you on the matter by the way. -

I'd vote for him. He's a conspiracy lunatic, but he's a Democrat and has real principles, not just saying whatever to appease voters. I hate being forced to vote right wing simply because the left wing candidates are FAR left, to the level Ted Kaczynski ranted about. He could end up assassinated so VP can take over. He thinks random blacks from New York killed Martha Moxley in a guarded, gated, mega rich neighbourhood in Greenwich, Connecticut. He also thinks these random blacks knew Martha and attended a gala ball there with her LOL. It's probably the most distorted thinking I've ever heard... The suspects Tommy and Michael Skakel are related to him. Michael was charged and spent 13 or something years in prison. RFK Jr still just rants and raves random conspiracies about other people who claims did it. -

Had a longstanding curiosity about dreams and hallucinations. I just found them interesting. Ordered acid and took quarter tab to test. Kept taking acid over months... I must have somehow believed I was enjoying it. Migrated onto DMT. Took an enormous combination dose of psychedelic drugs, as I had come to reason that these things have such a great safety profile that the only possible negative effects would be an unpleasant mental state. I just wanted to see how far these things can take me and to where they might take me. Intense trip for what in retrospect feels maybe 10 to 20 seconds, but MUST have been much longer based on the length of other DMT trips (likely I just forgot many minutes of it). Searched online for nondual religions as I had experienced something along those lines to a degree I felt was literally divine, and wanted to read if such a thing existed to better understand what had happened to me. -

Interesting, can you expand? I know autism is linked, but have never heard anyone mention the other part you brought up here. -
OldManCorcoran replied to BojackHorseman's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
It's completely made up. Non-scientific AND non-spiritual. Pure fiction from a delusional mind... It's not scientific because scientific is material stuff. Yet it's also not spiritual because spirituality is seeing through the ego whereas any sort of "identity" including "gender identity" is an active push even FURTHER into ego and sense of individuality. As such it is probably the BIGGEST delusion in existence currently... For ex: believing the Earth is flat is not necessarily anti-spiritual because it has nothing to do with strengthening/leaning into ego. Yet identity is inherently anti-spiritual. So it's a delusion on two sides of the aisle at once. -
OldManCorcoran replied to LSD-Rumi's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I think all known gurus engage in bullshit. When someone has a question, and you're being paid sometimes to give an answer, you feel obliged to say something... Even if you don't know the answer... A lot of people who talk in riddles or sort of duck around giving plain answers or explaining themselves, are just bullshit artists. Who maybe as "awake" as a 20-something acidhead. But people listen to them like ascended masters. Most people who have vaporized something like toad have entered into "satori". And the gurus have not been anywhere different. I first listened to gurus only to understand my own experience, because I didn't know wtf happened to me. It seemed something divine and I wanted to see it wasn't just me, and that there are people who actually discuss and study these things. -

There's many layers to an ego, like an onion. The human ego is extremely complex. Vast. With very surface level elements like how we are dressed on that day, down very deep to the addition of a camera-ish perspective to sight. -
OldManCorcoran replied to LSD-Rumi's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Very brief no self. I'm just recounting what I think is accurate from what it seemed after that, before the memory of it faded. I've had a tonne of drug trips including ones which led me to discover mysticism (as in nonduality, monism), but that no self thing just happened really briefly. I've tried to force it again but can't do it... If you look around you, see how everything seems to be some distance in front of you? Try to make it so it seems equally as behind your head and beside you etc as it does in front. So long as the self remains in the picture, you're going to feel a dualistic perspective, sort of like there being a camera lens facing the image. If you can actually erase the camera (perspective) from the image completely, then it's that. There's only a difference between the moment of your bodily death and the next if there's some essential soul component to you, so you seeing Big Ben is different from someone else seeing the exact same image of Big Ben, BECAUSE (and this is why it's important) in that case there seems to be the image of Big Ben IN ADDITION TO a sort of self. Without the self, no matter who sees the image of Big Ben there is only the image of Big Ben both times. That's the real state of things before the ego gets added. -

Should be the same as this second changing to the next second. Should be the same as you beginning to read that sentence compared to now. -
OldManCorcoran replied to LSD-Rumi's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Won't everyone just supercede whatever you are discussing when they're dead? Lol. Though I suspect perhaps you will say something about the point of death being fake (as with the point of birth). -
OldManCorcoran replied to LSD-Rumi's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Actually I think that teaching is common to all religions. Even Christianity which says you cannot gaze upon the face of God... All monks and gurus in mystic traditions say that whatever it is, like Brahman, whatever, cannot be captured or conceptualized in any words. Someone just ought to figure out a way to explain why that is. -
OldManCorcoran replied to SQAAD's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I actually think people do 99% of the time. Even the disembodied camera dreams are quite rare IME. -
OldManCorcoran replied to Buck Edwards's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
They aren't. They're appearances, made of sound perception. Like literally everything is. -
OldManCorcoran replied to Buck Edwards's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Actually I think that could be important. Because you would know the voices aren't, for example, demons or spirits entering you. I wouldn't recommend psychedelic treatment but the general spirit of the revelations, could help. And mindfulness type stuff even though that has no relation to ego death or awakening. -

Schizophrenia develops later than other disorders. Please check videos of people suffering with the illness, hearing voices which speak in different accents is a hallmark trait. There's a woman on YouTube with schizoaffective disorder who makes really good videos on the topic. You don't have other souls in you. There's nothing spiritual about that at all, in fact it's quite opposite, more of a Christian or Islamic idea.
