Some enlightened beings also rape little monk boys. In fact, the entire universe by nature could be viewed as ultimately enlightened, and it still embraces torture and suffering. Veganism is simply an extention of identification, inclusivity of other beings into the self. There were enlightened masters who had no problem keeping slaves, yet today no enlightened master would deem that appropriate. Spiritual enlightenment will not give one the ability to see the suffering of others as ones own, it only has a tendency to do so because this work inherently has to do with the workings of the ego.

Do you think there are animals who use psychic abilities? Do you think the root of creativity and intelligence itself is psychic/divine in nature and is kind of overlooked because it is so common? Is there really a difference between psychic abilities and any other ability that we view to be naturalistic?

Do you think there are genetic demons? Meaning that a certain energy can get trapped in the genes of a person and be transmitted to the next, propigating that energy? Something like a spirit that attaches itself onto a gene?

All you have to do is just look at it. Look at that which you are questioning. Don't argue, just look. The more you look the more you will see.

What God are you talking about, it's like he is a depressed Santa Clause to you

My observation indicate the opposite. People were so incredibly shallow in the past, they of course still are, but in my opinion it's getting better rather than worse, overall.

God is not bored, God is boredom, and all other dimensions of reality aswell. Subjects are illusiory, there is nothing happening to anyone. There are simply happenings. It wouldn't make sense to say God was bored as much as it wouldn't make sense that you can be bored. Boredom simply exist, it does not belong to anyone or anything. God is the boredom itself, and also the excitement. The Subject - Subjectivity duality doesn't work on humans and it surely doesn't work on Reality as a whole. God is not A, God is not B, God is not C. Rather A, B and C are God. Replace God with the word Reality and you will cease having these confusions. Reality cannot be bored, however reality can be boredom. The whole thing about reality is that it is everything, or rather that everything is it. And no, the reason of existence is pure Love. Why Isness? Love. What Isness? Infinity/Nothingness How Isness? Infinite Intelligence/Creativity, Magic That's how you could frame it. All of this exists from Love and as Love, not boredom. The "substance" of boredom is Love.

What do you think about conspiracies that claim that people in power positions use the occult for their own personal gain? Is that possible, and if so do you think it's likely? What would come to mind are things like Bohemian Grove.

I don't know why you bring your parents irresponsibility into this. What do the animals have to do with that when we all can eat mussels and be fine even if we require meat? China does not have double the meat consumption, but half the meat consumptiopn of the US. I don't know how to communicate with you, you skip most of what I am writing to you and don't respond to it. You also seem very biased in the way you ascertain your facts about any of this, maybe as an overreaction to what your parents did to you. Sure people are super unhealthy in London and Boston because they consume so much animal products, and not even good animal products but ones that come from factory farms. We also don't eat nearly as much vegetables as we require, especially in a time in which vegetables only have a fraction of the minerals and vitamins they used to have even 30 years ago. How can you live in China and not think that meat is a luxury there? Just look at how much more beef they eat now than 30 years ago. It's insane, but still not nearly the amount of the US. And all the "genetically full potential people" you talk about were born in a time in which they consumed almost no meat.

I will add the books to the list thanks. What do you think about Satanism? I read somewhere that their reputation is counter to what true disciples do, for example they are against all forms of animal abuse and are basically just about self-actualization. It was basically about liberating oneself from all the repression that was going on in Christianity, acceping ones own desires instead of demonizing them. The whole ritual sacrifice thing with humans and so forth they claim is a bad popcultural carricature that has nothing to do with true satansim? Is that true? What do you think about that? There was a website about this from a female author but I don't remember it. I think she was practicing Wicca too. I think it was more of a form of paganism and Satan was some sort of pagan god.

Because I don't know if the it is even possible, especially for someone not gifted enough. I also have other areas that I am more gifted at that I think I will be more effectively raising the consciousness of others. With these kinds of things it's seems like natural talent is especially important, so those who have that talent and actualized it have more weight on their shoulders than those of us who do not, I think.

Do you think someone naturally gifted who does not know about it could harm others by unintentionally cursing them, having negative thoughts and visualizations about them?

If so, how?

How do I ask my Divine Self to help? I think there is a difference between communicating with the ego and communicating with the Divine Intelligence, even if they are both connected. The question is how do I access the Divine if I am not enlightened, is that possible somehow, to atleast get some guidance?

But don't forget that the ego will try to have you remain in your comfort zone. It will use the divine to justify it's own terms. People do not choose to be ignorant, they don't choose to denie the Truth. They need help, and I think those among us who are especially gifted have a greater responsibility. Who else will help them but us? I don't know why you see this as such a threat. To me this is an opportunity. It will grow your character, you might bring light to the world in unimaginable ways. And it's not like what I suggest would make you do less of what you are doing right now, in fact it would have you do more! Look at Sadhguru, what if he never decided to take things into his own hand and change the world? What if he stayed another Yogi who spend his time in a cave and occasionally helped those who seeked him out? Look at how different the world would be. You have connections to a lot of people who have similar gifts, you could organize events to strategically plan this. This is exciting, it is an opportunity to increase love. Why not do it? Sure it will be challenging, but it will also be rewarding.

Of course, but you are gifted and you could radically change the world if you and everyone with these abilities truly put the effort into it. What if my part to play is to change your mind and motivate you to act in a radical way?

I still don't see why that would keep us from using these abilities to deliberately increase consciousness. It's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Science is skeptical in nature, we would have never had any progress and breakthroughs if we just gave in to the skeptics. If Darwin just said "Ignorance is always a personal option.", I don't think we would be where we are today. Sometimes it requires fighting the skeptics. Jesus didn't just sit around and wait for people to find him, he was out there and radically challenging the status quo. And think about how easy it is for us today, in the time of Jesus they would have put you on a cross. In medieval times they would have burned you at the stake. What would all those who sacrificed themselves in the face of ignorance think of us, who make excuses as to why they should not take radical action? Is that not our egos trying to stay in comfort? How easy is it for the ego to use what you said as an excuse? It takes effort to change the world, to bring light into darkness The people who changed the world did not do so with the attitude of "Those who seek truth will find it".

I don't know, I don't like this kind of easy dismissal. What if your skeptical friend would be the one who sets up the table, who sets up the environment. Putting up cameras everywhere etc. if the Chi-gung practitioner still can do that he should not be skeptical. And even if he is, not everyone will be. We can't give up just because some, or even a lot of people, are close-minded. What if it can be shoved down their throat? From the stories that were reported, it is exactly what Christ did. He purposefully used magic to prove his Godhood. And why not, it instantly increased peoples consciousness around him. They immediately knew his divinity. What about the skeptical romans who saw Christs dead and then his rebirth? Was that not essentially what triggered all of Christianity, if it truly did happen? What if that's exactly what we need today? Why not try our best instead of just giving up in face of some skeptics? What else will you do with these abilities?

Most people are not really interested in scientific studies. I would think more effective things would be challenging prominent atheists and doing something that cannot be dismissed. There has to be a way to use your skills for the greater purpose, to use them to increase consciousness. What if that's what used to happen in the past? What if Christ used his magic to make everyone without a doubt know of his Godhood? What if that is what created Christianity in the first place? What if you could do the same? Or someone else who has psychic abilities. Would it not be imperative to use these abilities to increase consciousness? I feel like so much more could be done, would Christ have sat around and been referring to studies that can easily be dismissed by rationalists? I think he would have been far more radical in his approach, if he truly had any of the abilities that were reported.

My argument is that no they have not, because the moment they got more than they can handle they returned to the source, they returned to being untouchable. This is the very thing I was pointing to. You cannot experience more than you can handle, because more than you can handle means either ego death or physical death, it means either psychological disintegration or physical disintegration. Beyond that you become God, you become untouchable. This would mean it is not possible to make someone suffer more so than their ego can handle. By the very design of nature it cannot be otherwise. It's like God is always there, catching us when we fall. He knows exactly how much we can handle, and we can handle a lot. But as soon as it becomes more than the ego can take, there is an instant return to Godhood. The very metaphysical structure of the mind does not allow it to be otherwise.

When we experience more pain and suffering than we can handle, does it not necessarily lead to the dissolving of the ego? Anything we experience prior to the dissolving of the ego is necessarily something we can handle, is it not?

Could you not somehow use your abilities to proof to the world that there is a spiritual dimension to reality which they currently denie?

The point is that the metaphysical structure of the ego does not allow for us to not endure more than we can handle because if we experience somethint that we cannot take, our ego's literally disintegrate. Everything before that, no matter how much torture, was something that we could take because it did not disintegrate the ego. So you cannot torture someone beyond what the can handle, because doing that leads to their ego just dissolving.

Study Ken Wilbers work, it seems like you have overlooked the dimension of Lines/Streams of Development that is very important to understand: I do not believe there is a person in this world that is solid yellow or even solid green. Even solid orange is extremely rare. To be equally development on all of these lines would be inhuman. Additionally, this entire model is highly biased, it is viewed from a lense that is heavily orange and blue. Think about civilization 1000 years ago. It was almost pure blue and every single human being today that we would argue to be blue would to these people seem orange. In contrast, every single person that they would have back then be deemed orange would to us seem deeply embedded in blue. There is a sort of relativity that does not allow us to see beyond or current culture. We look at things from an orange vantage point, meaning that even human beings who only have a fraction of their psychology resonating with Yellow would to us seem radically different. I would argue that even Leo is mostly orange, when removing the relativity of cultural bias. Think about in 1.000 years, when there is a truly Yellow culture. Do you think they will look back at Leo and be thinking "That Leo guy was solid yellow!". Of course not, they will look at him as an orange meat-bag who showed some signs of yellow, but was so embedded in his culture that he failed to see how his entire psychology was molded by it in a way he could not possibly transcend. Everything beyond orange, in any model an orange culture will produce, will be deeply biased and limited due the failure to predict what cannot be predicted. In other words, the data Spiral Dynamics and similar models are based upon are produced in a world that is inherently orange and blue. It cannot really look into the future, it is limited to data that has already actualized. What it can capture is the few advancements that we are making from our current cultural environment. The entire model will be structured in a way so that any slight deviation from current cultural standards will be viewed as an entirely new stage. But to future cultures who will have fully actualized these new stages, these deviations will seem like the opposite. They will look lower from their vantage point, whilst to us they look higher.

My dog passed away last year and it was a terrible experience, especially bringing her to the vet to put her to sleep. That experience in itself is very painful, but I myself don't really see her as gone. I see her every day inside the bumble bees that try to climb into the flowers on the balcony, or inside the birds that I feed when it is winter. I even see her in the fruit flies that start appearing when I left some fruit lying around too long. Just a few days ago I saved one when it flew into a juice I wanted to drink. I fished it out with a spoon, put it into water to clean it up and then put it on a towel and it actually lived. Cleaning itself off and then flying away. Quite remarkable, especially because it must have been in the juice for quite some time. There is no need to feel bad for Max, there are so many more lifes to live. To accept that he has changed might become easier if you share the love you shared with him with the other Maxes around you. They want to be loved just like he did, that's all they seek. Max will appreciate every bit of love that you share with him, no matter what form he took. He might not remember you, but that is somethint that just needs to be accepted. One day you won't remember him, and it will be you who is climbing into flowers to get the nectar. Recognize Max in the bumble bees. Once you will, it's going to feel like he was never gone.
