If there's that many good evidence for the case of magic (telepathy etc.) being real, why is it not widely accepted? Is it really because of materialsim being a dominant dogma in science or something else is at play? Why high-level scientists who for example claim that reality is made of consciousness differ so widely in their explanations, while scientists who work on typical materialistic research often agree? To what degree can we trust science? How easy it is to manipulate it for companies or malicious agents seeking their own benefit? Where exactly the intelligence is visible in the process of evolution? Ok, there are a few processes that seem intelligent happening on the cell level, but haven't been those processes developed through random mutations first? Why are sceintists so alike to libertarians? Libertarians believe in perfect free markets just as much as scientifc people believe in the process of peer-reviewing. How can they be so blind to its failures? Sorry for offtop, but is it really? How do you know how a flat earth would look like in your direct experience? Maybe what you see is one face of a cube, or it's a part of a cylinder. Round objects with big enough radius seem flat. Have you looked at it with enough attention to determine it's really flat?

I would like to hear something about the trouble with collecting the right kind of data and then making a correct assumption from that, basically how self-delusion or paradigm lock can derail reasearch at the very beginning.

And that's what sometimes makes small talk before or after yoga classes irittating. I don't know why, but I had that expectation that people investing time and money to learn yoga would be the most developed people I can find in my city. Turns out 1/3 of them is conspiracy nuts and the rest doesn't care about spirituality in a deeper sense at all. But the same happens in psychedelic circles. There are people who are like "LSD is cool, but you know what else is cool, Meth." or "If government wasn't stealing my money through taxes I would be able to smoke pot everyday and drop acid whenever I want."

@Preety_India Shows him as he is. Pretty good I would say.

Dive into a book "The Mustard Seed" by OSHO if you want to experience a serious recontextualization of Jesus' teachings.

This thread is so stupid. There's is a super-important reason for that. The system that Duckduckgo uses is way more vulnerable to manipulation. Google had been working in that way in the beginning and it was shit. It's now a highly refined product, personally I am Ecosia user, but sometimes I just have to use Google to get more accurate results, because it is simply superior at its job.

I cannot believe how no-one is commenting on this thread and watching this movie. Guys and gals, this should be a hot topic!

Hmm, I have just watched the movie, it's a tasty treatise on the human condition. In contrast to other movies that entertain the future possibilities for mankind and focus solely on the presented issues, this one also touche on the present and the past, which is expected since it comes from a famed structuralist author. 3 hours well spent. It's not a typical documentary, it has a storyline and many story narration tricks that make it engaging to watch. Here's an official description of the movie:

@electroBeam but if you know Nixon, then this is exactly what you would suspect him of doing. It's congruent with the chatacter and not outlandish. And if you know Hillary Clinton you wouldnu't suspect her to be a pedophile child trafficker, whatever, I am not up-to-date on those conspiracies.

Purified means just less ego interference. It's exactly what Kriya Yoga does. If Kriya works well for you then maybe at the end of your session sometimes you feel that vast spaciousness. if you have had a question at that moment it would get answered from a purer place than usual. Psychedelics just help you to skip 10 years of Kriya practice for a few hours, so you can communicate with your True Self, that is God. Mushrooms are ok, any popular psychedelic will do. Start low and you will notice as you dose higher and higher that it's easier to tap into that field and get a true answer to your question. That difference in how easy it is to talk with your True Self is the difference in the degree of purification.

300 mcg of LSD or 70 mg of DPT, can't get any faster. A few hours of quality connection to God.

He has a blind spot for billionaires and is hesitant to support structural changes that would undermine their influence on policy, but he shares that position with like almost all billionaires. Who would have guessed, hah? But with parties like the US' Republicans coming to power all over the world maybe it's for the better that people like Gates hold some power. Although for every Gates we get two Koch brothers, who are part of the reason why conservatives flourish.

@Vinnie Oh, really, it's already out? I haven't noticed at first. I guess this week I am watching this movie instead of Leo's new video, haha. $4 for renting it is not much.

"The New Human Rights Movement" book by him was great, so I am waiting for the movie.

@Edogowa Conan you mean an underestimate? xdd

Haha, he is like Rupert Spira, but 20% cooler. Thanks for sharing.

@Bulgarianspirit there's not a single "permanent" samadhi state, but many. I wouldn't call someone Enlightened unless they experience one of them on a daily basis.

But there are different samadhis you can abide in. And there still are different peak states one can enter. I mean I have only experienced the no-self, but people here say there's more, so I won't argue with that, it makes sense to me for there to be more states.

The genetics of every race are adapted best to their environment. My slavic ass would do terrible on the desert, but arabs live there without too much stress. It's just that some environments have lower ceilings to growth, they couldn't have developed because of lack of natural resources and natural terrain barriers. Only for the last hundred years global trade started to equalize access to rare resources and technology.

The second option can feel hopeless sometimes and the people at low-level job (unless it's something you do solo) will drag you down. The third option seems the wisest if you can avoid that trap of being overly attached to this transitional career and money or comfort it offers. And if you had guts to choose the first, you probably wouldn't be even asking this question.

Haha, Ubisoft...

What is this thread "big me"

Yeah, but to sell even a single copy of any info product you need to craft an amazing story and somehow get them eyeballs on it. That's marketing too. @Yarco Example how it works: There's a guy named Rob O'Rourke who posted his journey to become a web designer on popular internet forum about making money. It was an exceptionally honest story, quickly gathered attention of users of that forum, which resulted in him creating a few internet courses on how to become web designer yourself. He is now trying to grow his youtube channel. Or look at @Emerald here, I bet she got a few clients from this forum, heh. That's a process I would try to replicate if I were you, in a niche you like and on a platform you like, reddit, forums, etc. Basically, you are looking for an answer to the question you have asked yourself, "Honestly I don't know how these companies are paying me $100+ per blog and turning a profit, when I write the same quality and style of content on my own site but can't make a living from it.". This puzzle you have to solve.

I wasn't thinking about technical skills like SEO, but marketing in a wider sense. What you do, who you do it for and how are you gonna reach them. I would start with reading Allan Dib's One Page Markering Plan to get some grasp what markefing fully entails.

@ColeMC01 Nice photos and swipe "YES" on every girl on Tinder. Go out with every girl you can, even with the ones that are not in your type, they might have cute single friends. Strategic. That's my current tactic and it works.
