@jj40 Observe attachment/identification. Every true thing is also false. Every meaningful thing is also meaningless. This awareness free because there is no owner and nothing to own.

@cetus56 I just went for a hike through nature and nature became the brain. i was like a molecule walking through My Big Brain. It started off as imagination and then became real. Fun stuff.

Yes! He also reminded me of social fields of consciousness and the “big brain”. We are all neurotransmitters to each other in a big brain.

@Nak Khid Nice. ?? He offers an approach that would resonate with people that are more scientifically / logically inclined.

@Anton Rogachevski By “awareness”, I mean awareness relative to Americans that are ignorant. For decades in the US, any criticism of isreal by politicians or media was seen as anti-semetic and un-Anerican and they would face a strong backlash. So a lot of Americans are unaware there is right and wrong on each side. For example, my parents think Palestine is a terrorist group like ISIS that kills innocent people.

Nice video. It’s like a macro-level of quantum physics. I like his description of time = memory and that memory is not within the brain. . . I also liked when he told a questioner “You are making a distinction between you and consciousness”. . . . We can explore reality by going “inward” and “outward”. @Peo There is more space in science for this type of work and it continues to grow. Part of being on the forefront of progress is facing resistance and ridicule by those that want to maintain the status quo.

Yes, it’s pretty much indistinguishable. There have been some psychonauts online that did blind tests and my impressions were any differences are very minor. The only one that seemed somewhat consistent is that 1p-lsd trips can be shorter, which is often the case fo me. My 1p-lsd trips are about 4-6 hours long. Which I prefer. 8-10 hours is a bit too long fir my mind and body.

Ime, lack of trust is corrosive. If someone is untrustworthy, I won’t date them. It never turns out well ime.

Because of genetics and conditioning. Your body has evolved to survive. You wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t. This survival desire gets reinforced into children through messages such as the importance to get a job, a home, having children etc. Yet on top of that is an additional self that is created and all sorts of extra add-ons are conditioned into children: what is right and wrong, what is good and bad, respectful and disrespectful, purpose in life, what is success, what has value . . . and on and on and on. It can take a while to de-condition all of that programming. I’ve found it helpful to introspect all of that, engage in practices that allow release and practices that re-condition the mind-body to be Here and Now, with whatever is happening Now.

Actually, it’s not so simple. A candidate can win the majority of states and lose the election. For example, they could win 30 of 50 states and lose. The electoral college is based on the population size of each state, not the number of states won. The problem with the electoral college is that it is disproportional. For example a person in Wyoming has 3X the voting power of a person in California. Imagine you get to vote once and I get to vote three times. Does that seem fair to you? In a true democracy, each person only gets allowed to vote once. A tomato farmer that lives in Truckee gets to vote once. A tomato farmer in the next town over gets to vote twice. That’s not fair. This was true in 1776, not 2019. They chance of a state succeeding from the union is extremely low, especially small population state’s like Wyoming and Delaware. It’s not going to happen. The electoral college now has a polarizing effect because unpopular politicians that lose the popular vote win through a loophole. This is not democracy. In a democracy, everyone gets one vote and whoever wins the most votes, wins the election. It’s that simple.

Nice frame ?

Haha yes. It’s like saying “A trip to the planet Xenon isn’t so bad. The zidnuvs and fluglins could actually help me”. Sneaky squirrel

I love those moments in nature. The flower, butterfly and bee are the most beautiful creation. So beautiful it seems impossible. . . . Sometimes I lose sense of myself and time such that there is simply the beauty.

@Bno It’s not just Mueller. It’s that all the experts agree on interference. There is collective agreement among the expert community that carries a lot of weight for me. In this area, I’m more interested in the structure of how the situation is perceived and how meaning is created. I’m not so interested in engaging in the content of the situation. You seem more interested in discussing/debating content, which is fine. It looks like several others on the forum want to engage on content. So I’ll step aside. Nice chatting with you.

@Frankie10 It’s funny you say that. When I started feeling different, I also started resonating with nature differently. I’ve always liked nature, yet I was usually in my own head while in nature. Then something shifted, I related with nature in a new way and was sensitive to things I hadn’t noticed before. For example, I was in nature one time and realized I was within an enlightened master. I’ve resonated well with psychedelics and many of the deepest insights in some way related to a trip. Almost like doors to synchronicity open. I may be walking in nature and an insight appears and I’m like “whoa, that’s trippy cool”. It’s like I’m more sensitive or open now. Even when sober, I often feel like I’m on a low dose of a psychedelic, and I haven’t used them for a while. . . I also like being with people that are kinda “out there”. They often have an “it” that reveals something.

Random Destiny. A new paradox for me. I love it. And a great title for a book.

@Frankie10 It sounds like you tapped into a nice insight. . . . Your avatar goes so well with your story. . . I love the curiosity of what has arisen. “Hmmm, what’s going here?”.

Notice the change in the narrative. You went from “no interference”, to “possible interference” to “probable interference”. Just one more step. . . The top US intelligence officials said there was interference (and continues to be interference). Including top officials Mueller and Hill. They are the top authorities. Mueller was asked point blank if there was interference and he said yes. He also said it is ongoing. Fiona Hill said the same and that the alternative is a “fictional narrative”. All officials agree. The dispute is occurring in your mind, not amongst US intelligence, security advisors and diplomats. How effective the interference was and wether Trumps campaign conspired with the interference are different questions. What I think doesn’t carry any weight. I am not an expert on US-Russian relations. If I was testifying in Congress on this case, everyone would be shaking their head asking “wtf is this guy doing here? He isn’t an expert on Russia”. What matters are actual experts. The actual experts have clearly stated in personal testimony that there was Russian interference. To me, both Mueller and Hill seem like qualified non-partisan experts that sought the truth and know the truth. Imo, they have no reason to lie. . . You seem to have a different interpretation, which is fine. You get to create anything you want.

To me, it sounds like you had a direct experience glimpse into a deep realization. Psychedelics can take a mind to depths that would take years of traditional practice to reach. Groundlessness will often be perceived as uncomfortable and bad. After this type of psychedelic experience, I’d be like “whoa, wtf just happened?”. And my mind would try to make sense of it and get grounded, which is fine - yet I also wanted to integrate the realization and not lose it. Sometimes, I would return to a similar psychedelic realm for the same realization. Some took months to integrate and embody. I’ve also had energetic shifts after these realizations. For example, I used to be much more analytical and intellectual. I sought books that explained spirituality, that said “this is how it is”. After these psychedelic realizations, that seeking energy dissolved. I just wasn’t into theorizing and debating. After the actual direct experience of being that ISness, there was an energetic shift toward experiencing more of it. I tripped more and did a lot of practices to reach Beingness. Now-ness. I started resonating with nonduality speakers and get excited “Yes, yes! That’s it! Omg! They know! They’ve been there!”. The Exploration and creation became juicy. Theorizing, intellectualizing and debating was now like chewing on tin foil. At the human level, there is unlimited growth available. Yet what we resonate with can change.

Yes and a person would need to research and learn about the physicists’ evidence. One could simply believe the physicists since they are authorities on the subject. If someone wants to learn about the evidence, they would need to actually learn about the evidence. For example, they could read the scientific articles, take physics classes and talk with physicists. This is very different than saying “I think QM is a hoax” and watching YT videos that says QM is a hoax. If someone believes QM is a hoax, they will not put n effort to learn about QM. Why spend time learning about something that doesn’t even exist? It’s just a Hoax! Similiar to physicists, US intelligence officials, national security advisors and diplomats are expert authorities that have done a lot of research on Russia. They are much more knowledgeable, experience, skilled and smarter than you are. One could believe them since they are authorities on the subject. If someone wants to learn more, they can do research to learn more. You are responsible for your own learning and what you project. If you want to engage in a Russia Hoax story and watch Russia Hoax videos all day go for it. It’s your life. If you want to learn why every US intelligence official, national security advisor and diplomat to Russia say there was interference, then take responsibility, put in effort and do the work. Watching Russia Hoax videos and spending all day posting about Russia Hoax on Internet forums is not research and work - it will not lead to learning and understanding. Yet you don’t want to do the research and work - you want to eat Russia Hoax pie, which is fine - you just won’t learn anything. If someone sits around and eats Moon Landing Hoax pie, they will not learn about the moon landing. If someone sits around eating Holocaust Hoax pie, they will not learn anything about the Holocaust. If someone believes in a Hoax and is attached to it, they will not take action to learn about it. For example, I believe Big Foot is a Hoax and I am not going to invest time and effort to learn about Big Foot. However, I do not watch videos about Big Foot Hoax or spend all day posting about Big Foot Hoax on internet forums.

Leo and Emerald both have great YT channels that are helpful to people. Both of them participate on this forum. There is no need to create a “Leo vs Emerald” narrative. If you want to know if the videos are worth watching, watch some videos and see if they have value for you.

@Dumuzzi I don’t disagree with you. I think what you wrote is a beautiful construct and has a lot of value. I am pointing to something else. It doesn’t look like we are on the same frequency, which is fine. It happens. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me ❤️ ?

That is the first step to realizing one’s own projections. I am irrelevant. Your mind is creating what it wants to see. If a mind is engaged in a snake story it will see sticks as snakes. You think you know more than the top US intelligence, security advisors and diplomats? And you don’t even know their reasons? That would be like saying “I think Quantum mechanics is hoax”, without even looking into what the top phycisists say about quantum mechanics. Then asking “What reasons do the phycisists have? I know more than them”. . . This is a contracted mindset that will not allow learning and deeper understanding. All the U.S. intelligence agencies and top national security advisors/diplomat to Russia have concluded and publicly stated there was Russian interference. They are more knowledgeable and smarter than you. If you want to know their reasons/evidence, do your research and learn. Yet that’s not what your mind wants. Your mind wants to serve up a yummy dish of Russia Hoax pie.

No. You keep projecting that. Your projector seems hardwired. You can stay immersed within the projection or transcend it and become aware of your projector. Up to you. You are creating your own reality.
