The irony is that she is famous for creating a world where wizards use magic to turn into witches, and cats. It's also funny seeing Catholics hate on transpeople when they believe Jesus can turn into a cookie.

We have had 2000 years of singling out Jesus as "special". It's time to truly follow Jesus advice and lift up ourselves (and the poor, and the handicapped, and the prostitutes, and kids) to divine levels that Jesus is perceived to be. Ironically almost all spiritual persons say the same thing.

Leo often discusses liberals and conservatives, but I question the usefulness of these labels. In his blog, Leo admits it's pointless to label dictators as left or right, so why not apply the same logic to individuals? After all, our beliefs are a blend of left and right values across various topics. This division could be causing more harm than good, hindering unity. Should we who are concerned with finding the truth, abandon these unquantifiable distinctions that confine people into narrow categories?

The world IQ distribution is alarming to me. All the poor countries have the lowest IQ. Is that the reason they are poor? More importantly happiness is associated with higher IQ people. Are depressed poor people just dumber? Does your ability to do spirituality (and understand spiritual concepts) dependant on your IQ? Why or why not? P.s. please don't call me racist. Im not the sharpest tool in the shed myself. I am partly wondering if there is hope for idiots like me 😁

Is he wrong?

Love this forum, you guys never cease to trip me out, thanks everyone

@Razard86 @Breakingthewall @Davino @Leo Gura In peak states, I understand all that I am God. But then what is the other? How can I deny that there is no other when it appears that my perspective exists? How can I be all of reality when my experience says otherwise?

🤣 Check and mate

I would argue, despite what others on this forum say, that Mr Beast is a good example of how to do YouTube right. He started in his mom's house with no experience or talent, got better little by little and never gave up. You may not like his content but his formula for success is undeniable. If your material is 10x more conscious but you are 10x less successful you would still be doing very well. Any testimony of Mr Beast being brain dead is just speculation and most likely from haters being jelous. I showed some people Jiro Dreams of Sushi and they said "he was a robot who was obsessed with work". Everything is perspective.

Good points. If all soldiers across the world refused to fight there would be peace.

If fools like us on a forum can't agree what chance the world have? Who is willing to capitulate?

From Wikipedia "Casualties in the Russo-Ukrainian War included six deaths during the 2014 annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, 14,200–14,400 military and civilian deaths during the War in Donbas, and up to 500,000 estimated casualties during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine." 500000 is alot of people. You can call it genocide or whatever you want.

It's impossible to skip stages since the model describes each stage as an integration and transcendence of the stages that came before it. But you don't need to become a crypto day trader or join a hippie commune to go throught Orange or Green. You just need to have an honest understanding of those levels.

Right, so NOT funding Ukraine will lead to the genocide of the Ukrainian people and is a bad policy choice by the US in the 21 st Century.

Ukraine got rid of its nuclear weapons in exchange for protection. We have no choice but to protect Ukraine.

Good points. Also ebooks are better for the environment.

I see. So IQ would go up with more education. That makes sense. Also Mexico and middle East are also poor and low measured IQ. Black people invented almost every type of modern music (jazz, rock, reggae, foxtrot, rap etc etc etc). Genius obviously exists in the black communities.

There are studies that show that higher IQ people report being happier.

Great advice above, let me add my view... The solution to your problem is so simple.......being miserable is the bigger delusion! "The happiest people seem to be those who have no particular cause for being happy except that they are so" - W.R. Inge

I tried it and it was fine, just start at a low dose.

All these "alarming trends" are just clickbait and a way to make money. Alot of them are self fulfilling prophesies too.

Interesting, yes distinctions are useful in all fields and therefore in politics as well. Thanks

The title of your post is "How does your mind work". I often wonder this myself. How does the mind actually produces emotions and thoughts? Scientists claim it's neurons but how does "I" control the neurons to produces specific thoughts and emotions. How does the "I" control thoughts without having knowledge or experience of neurons. Is the "I" also neurons? Is the concept of neurons even useful to us since they can be experienced?

@Princess Arabiado you do psychedelics? Which ones?
