It's harder to moderate and no.

Speaking of mental clarity, I knocked my lamp over by backing into it with my ass, and it hit my keyboard and broke a key. Then I had to surgically transplant one of those plastic brackets underneath from another key that I don't use ;_;

It is

That doesn't change anything.

You're sometimes very intent on teaching people who are 5-10 years ahead of you in terms of spiritual practice.

If you don't believe Nahm is awake in some form or another, you have a long way to go.

IQ is like driving a Toyota. Psychedelics is like driving Noah's Ark. Two very different things.

I don't think I need to say much more.

Use the report function and you'll have it sorted.

Doxxing?

AH! You should've seen me the first year I discovered spirituality ?

"Trust me, I'm famous"

You don't. You don't.

I'm gonna unfollow my own thread :>

Look outside of your own perspective for a moment and see that neither the "high consciousness" people nor the trans people on this forum necessarily agree with you. You have taken your interpretation of a very contentious issue and made people's existence depend on it. I don't think that is how warning points should be used just in principle, let alone that it would eventually decimate the amount of people on here. Instead of using warning points to do that, you can concede some ground to the opposing side so that discussion is possible, and maybe you'll persuade some people in the process — you know — what Leo was actually talking about in that blog post. Threatening someone's account with the hope that they might agree with you is power abuse.

The "point" that is going too far is for example giving somebody warning points for merely stating what they think a woman or a man is. If it's not said with the intention to troll or offend, I think that is a no-go zone for warning points, and I saw you go into that zone. We should strive to keep the discussions informed by sensitivity, but that particular level of enforcement makes discussions impossible. At that level, discussion is only possible if everybody is already in agreement.

Allan Holdsworth was considered one of the best jazz fusion guitarists in the world. He was dirt poor virtually his whole life. All fame is not equal.

@Leo Gura As if it's possible to communicate God/non-duality.

Yup I'm certainly getting some energy from that video.

Zen Postmodernist- I mean Postmodern Devil

There comes a point where your ideology is so far removed from the majority of the forum that it makes no sense to enforce it with warning points. I think you ran into that problem especially with transphobia, and if you as a transperson feel more personally affected by that, that's of course a shame. However, my feeling is that you can go a long way by looking at the format of the engagement and the emotional tone and see that it's not one of bigotry or resentment, but rather intellectual honesty and openness, and that this is something that should factor in into an assessment of a "phobia". Because from what I saw you doing, it came from a more abstract/ideological place than that. But yes, it's also good to have someone who is unapologetic about expressing their sensitivities and representing those who could need a voice, and as you say, we can discuss that here.

Sure, the machines are inherently bad for our brains in some ways, but it also has us fully plugged in, so the wise choice is to dive into the rabbit hole and retrieve as many carrots as possible

Don Beck and Chris Cowan used Clare Graves' Emergent Cyclical theory as the basis for their model, and developed it while working with various projects in South-Africa and America. The empirical basis of the stages was mostly laid down by Graves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_W._Graves

I think watching something like ToE with Curt Jaimungal won't really erode your brain though ?

Well, either way, I get really hyper and cranky at the 5 day mark.
