"Fight for the light of consciousness" -Elon Musk I think we have greatly misunderstood Elon musk as just an Orange-Green type of businessman as @Leo Gura often says. No words of consciousness and love would be spoken by a materialist.
-
@Shiva The thing is that consciousness doesn't mean anything for a materialist. You need at least some amount of insight to even use that word. Also about charities, even if they are a PR move they still give away money. There is a big difference on a Grant Cardone type of businessman and a more greenish type of businessman.

The human mind is something else. It is so easy to backwards rationalize anything you want without even noticing how you deceive yourself -
You can always re-record it Epistemology book coming soon?

The self-bias and self-deception is strong in this one -
I seriously doubt he is enlightened but at least he promotes meditation to the young.

@Leo Gura Are you constantly in a monkey-chatter-free mind? What is your baseline level of consciousness in a sober state nowadays? -
All fourteen AR-15-type rifles were outfitted with bump fire stocks that allow semiautomatic rifles to fire rapidly, simulating fully-automatic gunfire on the Las Vegas shooting.

@Matt8800 What are some common hints people with undeveloped paranormal abilities get, to develop them? -
@Bodigger Counter-intuitively owning any weapon makes you less safe overall so that argument is off the table. By having laws in place that allow YOU to own a gun to "protect" yourself and your family, you enable the crazy guy owning a gun as well and guess what this is a lot worse than neither of you having any gun. The latest las vegas shooting didn't have one AR but 21 suitcases of both AR's and lots of ammo. It is unreasonable being able to own AR's let alone such a quantity of them. Also, the Orlando nightclub shooting involved an AR. At the very least if you have to have a gun, a pistol is just fine you don't need such caliber type of weapon, it is over the top. If you actually investigate the biggest mass shootings they all involved an AR-type of weapon, this is a red flag. At the end of the day, guns wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have so many radicals fueled with racism and hatred in America. You see when the media and the president radicalize naive and ignorant people against Mexicans, gays and blacks, the fool sees it as a good move to go out and kill a bunch of those people. This is the root of the issue and the only longterm solution is quality education. It is no coincidence the average Trump voter fits perfectly the American stereotype of a Texas redneck

This is a big issue making therapy inconsistent. I can't trust a therapist that doesn't have basic self development knowledge let alone spirituality. If you could gurantee everyone, no matter the shithole country they live, that they could get excellent treatment by great therapist then I am all down for it. But it is utopian. On the other hand an Lsd tab is an lsd tab no matter where you are in the world. -
@Bodigger Ofcourse, other countries don't have massively available AR weapons for the public to purchase but that is not the case in the US. Since we have to start from where we are the fact is that there are 400 Million guns in America and it will be nearly impossible to get into the houses of Americans and take them. So we need heavy regulation of AR's and tier 2 guns, make them illegal and harden the critiria for people who want to own even pistols. This is relatively easy to implement for people that don't own any guns yet but really challenging for preowned guns that are already at people's homes since they won't be willing to give them up.

@Paul92 The fact is you speak about stuff you don't consciously understand, judging from theory land and hearsay and that's how it is supposed to be. -Yo dude LA is lit, have you ever been there? (you)- LA is a human construct, blablabla... Do you see the absardity of that statement? Now replace LA with Truth and ta-da! Your cup is just not empty and thats how the mind works to mask our inherent not-knowing. You can either go or not go but it IS and it Will always BE -

Lol leo, I literally said that in my last trip report and highlighted the fact that you don't distinguish the two stages of triping! Stage 1 - Shadow integration Stage 2 - Existential triping This topic needs to be covered extensively in a "suffering" or shadow" video since it is so fundemental. -
Replace all basic level jobs a monkey could do with machines. Instead of saving the salary, a really high percentage (70% to 90%) of the salary you used to give to the person that did the job goes as tax to the government. This way it's win-win for both government and company.

- Go as plant based as possible. -More mindfulness, practice being on flow 24/7. - Reduce compulsive behaviors and addictions. - Don't oversleep, aim for 6 to 8 hours. - If these don't cut it, implement some nootropics in your routine.

This is insane. They literally steal your money by law since the "service" is obligatory. The US drug prices compared to Canada are 5 times higher. Shady shady stuff. Imo there should be no money involved in domains of health, justice, and education but that is a pipedream since this is where devils thrive. -

How do you know what happens after death if you haven't physically died yet? If "you" don't exist, why is your consciousness "glued" to you? if what you say is true can you prove it to me with some "objective" method? How can you get any truthful insight by looking at a wall? Where do those "truths" come from? is this some sort of 6th sense? Why should I even care about spirituality? How will it help me? Aren't you justifying your religious beliefs here? Are psychedelics safe enough for >50 trips? Are trip insights as good as the sober ones? Aren't you just making this all up? I am the sum of my memories and experiences so my memories prove I exist from direct experience! Aren't you contradicting yourself then? -

@reves @Leo Gura Dont get me wrong i am down for psychedelic usage. Just with a diffrent protocol. Most people get hyped by all the psychedelic material out there, they pop some Lsd and naively think they will experience oneness and instead they experience their fear, anxiety and anger. The ideal frame is: "My first 5 to 10 trips Will be for shadow integration meaning i will face repressed emotions i have denied and that will be painful but necessary" It is one think to get sucker punched out of the blue and another to expect it since you know it's for your own benefit -
I took half a tab (50ug) of 1p lsd and had the following insights: 1. Reality is one thing made out of nothing. Everything I was looking at was like a hologram. 2. Reality knows itself through itself literally like a strange loop. But most importantly the insights about Suffering and the Shadow : Whoever is in the the spiritual path will have to eventually face his shadow meaning his tendencies he has denied from his ego (ego=persona+shadow). But most people don't know the existence and denial of their fear, anxiety, anger etc since it is usually hidden on their Unconscious! And then only a trip can awaken them to those emotions they have denied. And that is the best way to face the shadow, head on. All bad trips are the reveal of your shadow all at once and it can be challenging. That is eventually healing because when you see something it no longer affects you, only resistance creates suffering. Eventually you observe detached. Resulting to this after the fact. I can see how the seeker can be distracted by these repressed feelings and even identify with those (only to hinder his growth). Instead he can be aware that the first 5 to 10 trips will be a shadow integration process (depending on the individual). I can only assume @Leo Gura had an already integrated shadow since he hasn't addressed this foundational topic yet.

@Leo Gura Easy to say after the fact. That limited ego you mentioned is the persona. And out of that place it projects outwards all the repressed feelings it doesnt own. I can confidently guess that the majority of your audience is operating from the "persona" level which automatically means the shadow is not integrated. Advising your average viewer to do psychedelics and he will be up for a rude awakening! Also he will not even know why he feels like shit and what these emotions are. This is basic triping knowledge that will save a lot of emotional hustle. -
Had a small microdose today, 1/4 of an LSD tab and remembered some of my old trips insights. Being pretty new to psychedelics (5 solid trips) I've caught myself having the belief that the "ego" is a bad thing and it must be killed etc and it fucks up my trips because it fuels them with fear. If you wanted to realize Santa doesn't exist you wouldn't go to a crusade to kill Santa. You would just realize it is a fairytale. The same thing goes with the ego. I've had a challenging trip by going at it with the belief that the ego is bad and must be exterminated. This creates a state of fear and insecurity during and after the trip instead of leaving me empowered. All that for 5 mins of ego death and 6 months of Ego Backlash after. Instead of making this process like a Ritual sacrifice can we change the frame so at least I can return from the trip better rather than worse? It feels like I build a bridge in the morning and knock it down in the evening. Can this spiritual process even be done simultaneously with achieving material abundance (money, sex, friends, etc)? @Leo Gura
