@iceprincess I flow in what the moment asks me. First is to use intuition and listen to what people need. If I feel that Leo stuff will help I share, sometimes I share a book that helped me in that issue or a link to a podcast pr a music video. No worries of someone grow more than you. I would feel happy if any one in my influence circle could experience mystical states and experience deep transformation in their lifes. The more happy and healty people are around me better everything is. Fixing selfishness. That could be the title of a SelfHelp book.

Yeah, I figured out what I need to do, thanks to "our" ferrari Mind.. I just gotta do Stage Turquoise shit, to install the wisdom from Mind to Body. If you really want that, go study something called quantum linguistics. it's the same thing that they use in hypnotherapy.. --- @UDT Thanks! Yeah, I'm Doing Transformation Coaching.

How old are you? I heard a Turquoise Guru saying there happens a transformation for someone, every around 20 years or something like that.. I was born Green, at 21y.o. I reached Yellow,, what I mean is, you'll reach yellow really easy, don't worry about it, Just keep doing what your doing! I love that. <3

What sport or exercise benefits you the most? Curious on how it's helped you -mental health, body transformation, achievement? Do you feel like sport/exercise is a big part of your personal journey? I've been drawn to a lot of different exercise the past few years. For the past year I've been weight lifting in attempts to improve my physique, but recently slowed down on that and picked up martial arts again (bjj and boxing). I feel like it's benefited me massively in general happiness, fitness, gave me an outlet, and actually showed me that I'm capable of learning something. Hbu?

Honestly, I don't care anymore whether these are SSRI’S or not .the thing is they work . I don’t know if depression can be cured in all people. What i do know is my life changed for the better substantially since my doc prescribed to me these medications. That was five months ago. I have felt real good ever since. I learned how to get myself better. Also Mindfulness helped me a ton . and like I said I don't take them anymore.. if i miss on dose of my meds? Depression is back? He'll no. The transformation i underwent just by finding a nice blend of three drugs is incredible. I learned happiness. Joy. Peace. I feel that almost every day. I do not choose to worry about my dependence. My depression has alot to do with a chronic disease diagnosis when i was young. I take insulin every day. Adding the anti-depressant dependency? None of us are perfect. I don’t mind the dependencies that keep me alive.

To me personally the energy of Andrew Tate comes across as a foolish infant who is not yet able to understand that he is only fucking himself over all the time by fighting his personal reality and exploiting others for his selfish gain. But I did not expect such a large percentage of human males would be so easily conditioned into believing that it might be beneficial to follow that type of example. I guess it all comes down to what you choose (or have been taught) to define as 'success', desirable, wisdom and freedom. Your definitions, expectations, thoughts, emotions and behaviours are the result of what you choose to believe and therefore create your reality by. I view the current state of our human civilisations indicative of the lack of proper spiritual guidance, education and true wisdom. It is my wish and I trust that the example of Andrew Tate will katalyse many into the next level of their spiritual development by at least wanting to go or actually choosing their own unique path to more liberation from the collective insanity in which they are born. In my eyes Andrew Tate is unconsciously embodying this desire for true freedom we all inherently feel are able to create. Similar to the phenomenon of how all kinds of 'conspiracy theories' seem interesting to the ones who are beginning to awaken to the true nature of reality and the self, which will be naturally transcended when more consciousness or wisdom is integrated. I truly invite anyone who reads this to honestly explore what your definition of success is. In order to firstly discover how much you have actually been conditioned into believing all that nonsense and by whom, and secondly to go way deeper into yourself and initiate or continue the most direct and fulfilling contact and relationship with your true divine nature. Once established and more often chosen to trust the intuitive guidance you may experience, you will naturally realise the absurdity of following someone else because they might have once symbolised within your consciousness the qualities you desire to embody. All that you perceive is coloured, or limited by your belief systems, you attract what you believe is possible and about yourself. The main reason I do feel attracted to Leo's type of communication is not the contents of the wisdom he shares, because that is very similar to what I have learned in my own personal path of spiritual enlightenment, but the attitude he brings as a reflection of the wake up call so many obviously need nowadays. Leo is a nice reminder to keep following my own truth and path in these challenging times of collective transformation. Do you want to pursue the illusions of this world or are you ready for the next dimension of experience? Much love ?

I hear you. Life can be hell even before awakening, but that is nothing compared to feeling flooded with the love and glory of God, only to be cast out of the holy presence like Lucifer. Especially when you didn't do anything wrong!?! After falling what seems like forever through the void, God catches you again, and this time there is an even deeper awe. The resonance with your ultimate nature is at a higher frequency. You realize that the psyche has become thinner than it was before, from the grinding darkness of the void, and the light of God shines through more brightly still. The banishment turns out to be an act of divine love, and what you needed all along. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend "Dark Night of the Soul", especially the translation and commentary by Mirabai Starr: This is a path of annihilation of the ego. But we must first be brought home to ourselves before we can bear to see our nothingness before God…It is less for those who are struggling to find themselves than it is for the ones who have a clear sense of self and are ready to purify it… This is a path for those who use their suffering as a tool for transformation. In the dark night of each soul, we are simultaneously annihilated and immeasurably strengthened.

I have got far more transformation, value and success working with my own coach than the initial icf training I took and books I have read.❤️ The bar for entry is very low to get into coaching and getting higher to actually make it and succeed at it. Ontological coaching is far one of the deepest modalities and being a great coach demands a lot of inner work.

Meditation is my mainstay. It is like judo training for the mind. You reach the point where thoughts and emotions, no matter how apparently urgent, are allowed to flow through without grasping or resistance. They are realized to be energy patterns, nothing more. From awareness, any action required by the present moment is clearly seen. You no longer lose yourself in the melodrama of the mind. It is an amazing transformation. While life continues to throw challenges your way, they are no longer a problem, but a tempering force for deeper growth. Eventually no matter what winds blow, you are a still flame. Recommended reading: The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer The Mind Illuminated by John Yates 10% Happier by Dan Harris That said, don't worry about falling back. It happens to most of us, and is actually the pathway forward. There is a French expression, reculer pour mieux sauter, which means taking a step back to jump farther forward. Both personal and cosmic evolution have regressive cycles which lead to higher states of transcendence. All part of the conscious journey.

Edit: Some people seem to be talking about cessation in a lot of ways other than what the original post is talking about. Here’s a description of it from Daniel Ingram which clarifies and captures what this term means: “Fruition (phala in Pali) is the fruit of all the meditator’s hard work, the first attainment of ultimate reality, emptiness, nirvana, nibbana, ultimate potential, or whatever extrapolative and relatively inaccurate name you wish to call something utterly non-sensate. In this non-state, there is absolutely no time, no space, no reference point, no experience, no mind, no consciousness, no awareness, no background, no foreground, no nothingness, no somethingness, no body, no this, no that, no unity, no duality, and no anything else. “Reality” stops cold and then reappears. Thus, this is impossible to comprehend, as it goes completely and utterly beyond the rational mind and the universe. In “external time” (if we were observing the meditator) this stage typically lasts only an instant (though the question of “duration” will be addressed below). It is like an utter discontinuity of the space-time continuum with nothing in the unfindable gap, exactly like what happens when someone edits out a frame or sequence of frames of a movie. It is not that you see a blank screen for a while where they edited the frames out, instead that part of the movie is just not there.“ I will say that I’ve experienced both although Leo will certainly claim that I haven’t accessed God Realization before as he says this with essentially everyone. Regardless, cessation was far more important to my spiritual development personally. The instant before my first cessation was by far the highest state I had ever experienced up to that point, but cessation was what made the difference. There is something truly transformative about seeing experience and everything and anything you’ve ever known disappear. It can give particularly solid insight into the fact that there really isn’t a self or even Self that lasts and can be accurately identified with. Experiencing myself as God was transformative in that moment and maybe some transformation power and momentum lingered for a bit, but it is essentially just a peak experience (albeit an incredibly amazing one that CANNOT be imagined before it happens). Cessation on the other hand was the spark that started a chain reaction which caused deeper and deeper AUTOMATIC insight into experience. My baseline modes of perception were forever changed and enhanced after that event. The first cessation is in some people’s interpretations seen as stream entry described in Buddhism which is essentially you entering the stream to be carried by the current toward full awakening no matter what you do. I think it’s certainly possible that cessation did so much for me and was seen as such a high thing at the time partially because I had already built a foundation with God Realization and other insights. Maybe if I had experienced cessation first and had God Realization afterward, I would interpret God Realization as higher due to that event first occurring upon a greater spiritual foundation. There is also no one true God Realization or cessation. How either of these or practically any other spiritual insight and experience occur relies a lot on how far you’ve gone in your previous history of practice. Insight is something which builds upon itself to further and further degrees. I will also clarify that, in my opinion, the sixth jhana is not God Realization proper. It has some of the elements of God Realization there, but it is not quite as full and miraculous based on my experience and interpretations. Sixth jhana is a direct feeling while in a formless state that You extend to and contain everything in an infinite distance spanning in every direction. It’s pretty similar, but it’s not quite the same as the feeling that You are unquestionably God. I guess the point of all of this is to say that BOTH of these realizations are integral for maximum spiritual progress and that they can be incredibly complimentary and can build into even greater personalized realizations and states that you’ll be able to discuss with practically no one once you’re at that point. My subjective ranking of peak states and insights has things beyond both God Realization and cessation, but it’s important to remember that you can’t judge one person’s awakening against another’s with any validity. You can only judge states you have experienced against others you also have experienced, and even then it’s likely that your rankings of one thing as better than another is going to be a bit inaccurate as you can’t truly hold the two or more realizations in their fullness directly next to each other to compare them.

He said he would when he found a suitable camera to record the transformation. He also said that God Realization was nonsense, that really the objective was the alien god, but that this was hidden from us because our human mind could not manage it. that from now on he was going to teach alien awakening. He also said that he had never been happier because if he closed his eyes he would see green and blue aliens doing somersaults and going in helicopters. then he expressed concern because he was in a constant psychedelic state, with nocturnal activations, and then he never returned to the matter. it looks like he is now using thc . This all sounds pretty strange, doesn't it?

5th ice-bath this winter 45 min meditation yesterday, and 45 min meditation today. I skipped the ice-bath I had planned for yesterday, but today I did one. After the ice-bath I did another session of 45 min of meditation. So much process and stuff after Brazil, so maybe I have to increase my dose of meditation. It was like it was burning all over my being with restlessness before that second session, so I sat down in order to go deeper into the burning sensations and let it burn. There is a transformation I've experienced before where before meditation I'm victim of the burning sensations, but after meditation the burning has been transformed more into flames of devotion. Not sure if that is exactly what happened today, but I feel more cooled down now.

State Of Consciousness Is Everything https://youtu.be/2u5M6tDc5TE State of consciousness is everything and is the fundamental universal rule Reality consists of one thing: consciousness, which takes different states Objects do not exist outside of consciousness; they are part of whatever state of consciousness you are in Examples of different states of consciousness include dreaming, being drunk or high on drugs, being tired or sick, being in a meditative state, and being in a hypnotic state The brain is like a radio that can tune into different states of consciousness, and the body follows the brain in experiencing those states It is possible to intentionally shift one's state of consciousness through various methods such as meditation, hypnosis, and psychoactive substances The state of consciousness that one is in affects their perception of reality and their experience of life It is possible to become aware of and master one's own state of consciousness, leading to greater control over one's experience of reality and greater spiritual growth. The concept of consciousness is universal and not tied to a physical body or neural network The physical universe is a figment of consciousness, not the other way around The concept of a physical universe is an idea in the mind, and the actual physical universe is also a figment of consciousness Every object and person, including Albert Einstein and the speaker, is a figment of consciousness Consciousness weaves together "figments" or strands of information to create larger concepts or ideas This process of weaving figments together can be repeated infinitely, creating nested layers of information The concept of consciousness is difficult to grasp and understand fully DMT is a figment of consciousness Memories, helicopters, stomach aches, pina coladas, and intense anger are all figments of consciousness The idea that reality is made of certain kinds of figments of consciousness is incorrect One figment is not more fundamental than any other figment Reality is made of as much a pina colada as it is a sexist joke or Disneyland or a helicopter The relativity of substrate means that one building block is no more preposterous than any other The complexity of a pina colada and an electron is identical It doesn't matter where on the infinite zoom scale you are, some things are not easier or harder for reality to create The idea that reality is made of small, fundamental building blocks is a human idea and not a fact Reality is infinite and cannot be broken down into fundamental building blocks Reality is not made of atoms or quarks or energy or mathematics Reality is not made of anything Reality is not a thing that can be made of anything Reality is not a thing at all Reality is not even a concept Reality is infinite and boundless Reality is not even a "place" Reality is not even a "where" Reality is not even a "what" Reality is not even a "how" Reality is not even a "when" Reality is not even a "who" Reality is not even a "why" Reality is not even a "which" Reality is not even a "whose" Reality is not even a "if" Reality is not even a "then" The speaker believes that consciousness is irreducible and infinite Consciousness is made up of every possible figment of consciousness The speaker suggests that understanding consciousness requires a deep awakening and may require one to lose their sanity The speaker believes that attempting to understand consciousness using scientific methods will not be successful The speaker suggests that understanding consciousness requires grasping it from the top down, not the bottom up The speaker believes that inquiring into the nature of reality, oneself, and consciousness may require one to lose their sanity The speaker believes that the ultimate nature of reality and where it came from is not easily accessible or understandable without losing sanity The speaker suggests that the process of understanding consciousness and reality may involve experiencing altered states of consciousness The speaker believes that traditional methods of learning and education are not sufficient for understanding consciousness and reality The speaker suggests that the ultimate understanding of consciousness and reality may require a personal experience or transformation. Intelligence cannot be created from the bottom up, it must be understood from the top down The material world is not capable of comprehension, only the mind is Material objects, such as the human brain, are not actually material but rather mind masquerading as material The nature of mind is infinite sentience and intelligence High levels of intelligence can feel like insanity to humans Humans may perceive those with high levels of intelligence as otherworldly or supernatural entities The mind has a fundamental capacity for sentience and intelligence The speaker is discussing the relationship between states of consciousness and understanding Thinking, modeling, and conceptualizing cannot substitute for states of consciousness One's current state of consciousness determines what they can understand and communicate to themselves and others The English language is limited in its ability to communicate concepts beyond a narrow, ordinary set of consciousness Spiritual teachers may incorrectly teach that thinking is an obstacle to spirituality and awakening Thinking can expand and become "hyper thinking," a new dimension of intelligence that allows for reasoning and thinking in "hyper-dimensional" ways This hyper thinking is a kind of intelligence that most of humanity does not know exists, and may be similar to what an evolved alien species might possess The importance of raising one's baseline state of consciousness and accessing temporary peaks The mistake of dismissing the value of temporary peaks or solely focusing on raising the baseline The need for both approaches in spiritual development The relativity of states of consciousness and the lack of a "best" or "invalid" state The role of states of consciousness in understanding and experiencing the world The potential downsides of high states of consciousness for certain goals or desires The connection between spirituality and changing one's state of consciousness The potential dangers of spiritual practices and the importance of caution and self-awareness The role of substances in altering states of consciousness and the potential risks and benefits of using them. The speaker discusses ways to raise one's baseline state of consciousness One way is to sit and concentrate for long periods of time without distraction Another way is to practice yoga and intense breathing Psychedelics can also be used to experience higher peaks of consciousness The speaker explains that state of consciousness determines what an individual can do and access Mystics can do seemingly impossible things because they are in different states of consciousness Paranormal abilities and cities are possible from higher states of consciousness Clairvoyance and telepathy are examples of abilities that may be accessed from higher states of consciousness The speaker notes that every living being is in a unique state of consciousness God is the highest state of consciousness, but it is not just one single state Some states of consciousness are "awakened" and allow self-awareness of being God Most people are not in an awakened state, but enlightenment is a state of consciousness that can be temporary or permanent The purpose of the episode is to guide listeners towards higher states of consciousness and to explain why they may not currently have access to certain abilities or experiences The speaker suggests that the ultimate goal is to access omniscience and to be conscious of how one has created their reality and life The speaker encourages listeners to keep an open mind about the possibility of accessing higher states of consciousness and to not give up on their spiritual journey. The speaker is teaching about a subject and is fully immersed in learning and understanding it themselves It is a big responsibility to teach this subject, and it is important to not deceive or lie to the listeners The listeners must also take responsibility and do their own thinking, contemplation, cross-referencing, and practice to ensure they are not misled The speaker recognizes their own limitations and biases, and that they will inevitably make mistakes and have self-deceptions It is important to be aware of and acknowledge the fallibility of all teachers and to critically evaluate what is being taught Spirituality is deeply personal and cannot be outsourced to others; listeners must take responsibility for their own spiritual journey The speaker encourages listeners to be the chief spiritual officer of their own lives and to take charge of their own spirituality.

Understanding Creation vs Destruction https://youtu.be/nJsyiFJ1iVs Understanding creation and destruction as opposite concepts Relativity of destruction and matter of perspective Previous concepts from previous episodes (bias, relativity, differences of perspective, dualities) Duality of creation and destruction collapsing into each other in non-duality Humans biased and selfish, with fixed rigid standard for what is creation and destruction Ego mind labels things as negative or destructive if they harm it and positive or constructive if they help it Example of "weapons of mass destruction" (nuclear weapons) and creation of the weapon before its destruction Example of viruses and how they can both create and destroy Idea that destruction can lead to creation (e.g. forest fires, demolition leading to new construction) Understanding that everything is interconnected and inseparable Importance of letting go of dualistic thinking and seeing everything as a unity Understanding that creation and destruction are not good or bad, but simply a part of life The destruction of the World Trade Center created a pile of rubble and debris The universe doesn't have a preference for one state of the World Trade Center over the other Destruction can be a necessary part of creation The destruction of the World Trade Center led to the creation of the Freedom Tower Reality is a never-ending process of transformation Our minds tend to label things that threaten the perpetuation of our forms as negative or destructive, but death and destruction can lead to new life and transformation The cycle of life continues through the transformation of matter and energy The field of consciousness cannot be destroyed and exists as an absolute Consciousness can take different forms or be empty, but even when empty it still exists as emptiness Absolute emptiness cannot be destroyed or emptied further, and is the underlying structure of reality Understanding this structure and appreciating it can change one's relationship to reality and help them see events in a more holistic and less biased way The goal of spiritual practices is to see the impermanence and interconnectedness of all things, and to find peace in the face of change and loss. This can involve detachment from personal desires and attachment to material things, and finding a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Meditation and mindfulness can help one cultivate this understanding and perspective.

What Is Paradox - Why Does Paradox Exist https://youtu.be/wSnfEZJ0SO8 Paradox is a statement or proposition that leads to a self-contradictory conclusion despite sound reasoning from acceptable premises Paradoxes are like glitches in the matrix that point towards absolute truth Western intellectual tradition has a fear of paradox and often tries to sweep it under the rug This fear exists because paradox is threatening to rationality, science, materialism, and the academic game played in universities The source of paradox is the tension between the limited human mind and the infinite nature of reality This tension leads to self-contradictory statements and paradoxes The resolution to paradox is to go beyond the limitations of the human mind and embrace the infinite nature of reality This can be done through spiritual practices such as meditation and enlightenment The acceptance of paradox can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of reality Paradoxes can also be resolved through a more holistic and integrated approach to knowledge, rather than compartmentalizing and separating different fields of study Paradoxes can be used as a tool for self-inquiry and self-discovery, leading to personal growth and transformation. The human mind is sneaky and will defend its worldview, even if it means fudging logic and rationality Rationalists believe that reality has to be rational, but this is not always the case The ego mind has a need for control over reality and constructs walled gardens (such as a scientific or religious worldview) to achieve this control Scientists and academics may not be purely objective and impartial in their pursuit of truth; they may have a constructivist bias and seek to build or construct something (such as a technology or theoretical model) Deconstructive approaches to science and academia can be problematic because they are not seen as useful and cannot be taught or funded Models and theories are necessarily finite and will ultimately contradict themselves because reality is infinite It is important to recognize the limitations of models and theories and be open to alternative viewpoints Suffering and pain are caused by constructing narrow, walled gardens that limit perception of reality This can lead to a lack of self-awareness and self-reflection, leading to a belief that the limited, narrow perspective is natural and universal To address this, scientists and logicians create second, third, etc. order logics and meta languages to encompass more truth, but this is ultimately limited because truth is infinite and cannot be fully captured by finite systems The human mind is not sophisticated enough to fully understand and utilize these higher order logics, leading to a belief that the problem has been solved when it has not The creation of higher order logics to maintain consistency in logical schemes is evidence of the infinity of truth Scientists, mathematicians, logicians, and rationalists may believe they are being rigorous and logical, but they are actually engaging in a mind game and pretending to have rigor, leading to a lack of understanding of the true depth and complexity of reality. The idea that the mind is infinite and all that exists is the mind The problem of the mind trying to grasp itself, as there is nothing else to define itself against The distinction between self-knowledge being impossible, but self (with a capital S) being possible The deeper answers to reality's questions existing at the level of being, rather than knowledge Reaching the answers through not knowing, rather than through knowing The concept of not knowing, and its connection to Zen Buddhism The importance of direct experience and consciousness in understanding the self and reality The limitations of language and symbols in expressing the nature of the self and reality The idea that reality is not fixed and can be changed through the power of the mind The role of meditation in helping to access the deeper level of being and understanding reality The importance of letting go of preconceived notions and ego in order to access the deeper level of understanding. Mention of a problem with a formula in Excel that references cells above it and adds them up, resulting in a self-reference problem or circular reference error Examples of self-reference problems in other systems, such as computer code and religion Mention of time travel paradoxes and quantum mechanics paradoxes Paradox of the relationship between the brain and the mind Paradox of free will and determinism Paradox of the concept of infinity Paradox of the existence of God Mention of the concept of a "Grand Unifying Theory" in science Intolerance can lead to a tolerant society Absolute freedom can lead to slavery and totalitarian control Regulation is necessary to prevent the concentration of power and wealth Skepticism can destroy itself through self-reflection Nihilism can lead to the belief in something through the realization that nothing is certain Apathy can lead to action through the realization that everything is interconnected Fanaticism can lead to the belief in something through the realization that it cannot be completely proven Ego can lead to enlightenment through self-reflection and the realization that the ego is an illusion The speaker reflects on the difficulty of loving others, even when they are being difficult The speaker regrets not being more loving to someone who was being difficult towards them The concept of "there is no path but only a fool doesn't walk it" is discussed The mind is described as a "strange loop" that creates simplistic categories to make sense of reality These categories are finite, while reality as a whole is infinite Science, logic, skepticism, materialism, dualism, and realism cannot fully understand ultimate reality because they take certain categories as absolute The ultimate paradox of the mind is that it is both the creator and the created, the subject and the object To fully understand reality, one must go beyond the mind and its categories The speaker suggests that meditation, psychedelics, and other spiritual practices can help one do this The speaker advises being open to paradox and to not getting too attached to any one belief or ideology The speaker concludes by saying that the true path is to love oneself and others, and to not get too caught up in the mind's categories and dualities. Theory is a subset of reality, but people may mistake theory for reality People can become "brainwashed" into only understanding or interacting with reality through theory, similar to how a fundamentalist may become isolated within their belief system Reality is a mystery, meaning it cannot be fully known or understood Reality is infinite, and therefore unknowable There needs to be a collapse between the duality of knowledge and being in order to reach a state of non-dual consciousness Paradox threatens the monopoly on truth that science tries to maintain, and forces science to consider other ways of knowing Science is arrogant and lacks epistemic humility, considering itself superior to other belief systems Science's attempt to crown itself as king within God's kingdom is an example of devilry Science's goal of objectivity is misguided, as it ignores the subjectivity of the observer The concept of the "observer" in science is flawed and ignores the interconnectedness of all things The concept of "nothing" in science is also flawed, as it ignores the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things Reality is not limited to the physical world and the material universe, and there are other dimensions and planes of existence that science does not acknowledge The concept of cause and effect is limited and does not fully explain reality Science's pursuit of control and predictability ignores the inherent uncertainty and unpredictability of reality The concept of time in science is limited and does not fully capture the complexity of reality The concept of the self in science is limited and ignores the interconnectedness of all things Science's pursuit of progress and technological advancement ignores the harm it can cause to the natural world and ignores the importance of balance and harmony Science must be open to other ways of knowing and understanding the world, and must be humble in its pursuit of truth. Einstein's method of solving problems involves using images and feelings, rather than logical symbols or mathematical equations Einstein's discovery of general relativity was influenced by his intuitive thought processes and his reverence for the idealist philosopher Spinoza Isaac Newton practiced alchemy and studied the occult, in addition to making scientific discoveries Hindu mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan credited his mathematical knowledge to divine revelation and had visions of complex mathematical content Ramanujan's colleague G.H. Hardy rated him as the most talented mathematician he had ever known The movie "The Man Who Knew Infinity" is a biographical film about Ramanujan and his contributions to mathematics. Trying to hold absolute truth in your mind or capture it in language can be damaging or impossible The mercator projection of the earth is a useful but distorted representation of a three-dimensional globe When discussing or trying to understand concepts like God or infinity, we may oversimplify or distort them due to limitations in our language and understanding Actual israelite teachings acknowledge their own limitations and do not claim to be the same as absolute truth Four-dimensional objects, like a four-dimensional cube, can be difficult to represent in a three-dimensional space Actual experiences, like those provided by psychedelics, can provide a closer understanding of absolute truth than language or thought can It is important to be aware of the limitations of our language and understanding when discussing complex concepts and to seek out experiences that may provide a deeper understanding.

You're just wrong though. @NoSelfSelf perfectly diagnosed you from two posts, it is also obvious to me that you would be struggling with game and connecting with women from just reading this reply too. Women need to feel your emotions to connect to you. NO, it doesn't mean that you need to cry and be flamboyant and tell everyone how you feel. Yes to be truly masculine and "alpha" you need to be grounded in you emotions and not let them control you but that also truly means being able to express them freely when you want/need to. being fully stoic is like being emotionally damaged and stunted, kind of like a monotone computer programmer. Women HATE that, it feels dead to them, like a mix of boring and creepy. Dating girls from cold approach and online game is easier because it's an isolated environment. It makes girls screen you only based off of looks and your basic game. Girls from school are fully exposed to your personality and also are judged by their peers so are a bit more closed off. I'm telling you that from your replies, you are both emotionally closed off and REACTIVE. Like you have some sort of unhealed trauma. If me and the mods can sense it than girls that go to class with you for weeks/months will feel it and be put off by it. That's why they're scared to give you their numbers, you somehow register as a threat to them. If you're an open and energetically safe guy then they would give you their number on the first day no problem. This is not an attack, I'm trying to give you some insight. The good news is that if you have success online and through night game then you just have to fix a couple issues and you'll be fine. I think it has to do with unhealed trauma IMO. I would look into Julien's stuff transformation mastery and like plain old boring therapy. Considering your personality I think you'll be put off by therapy. Don't be, it's great. It will literally help your game, like legit 100%. It's not a waste of time. @TheGreekSeeker I think you're wrong. There's a lot of good to be said about tough love and harsh constructive criticism. Sensitive snowflakes don't achieve big things. If you're offended by someone giving you shit and trying to help you then I don't think you understand the world. Personally, I'm offended by people specifically being compassionate and giving me bullshit advice, it's like your aunt telling you you're handsome and why don't you have a girlfriend. Fuck you Auntie, you should've told me I was awkward and to do more pushups, that would've helped. I am exaggerating and there should be a balance but I think the mods were fair, I don't understand the offensive here and don't think it is warranted.

Developing Introspection - The Solution To The Problem Of Self-Deception https://youtu.be/6tsnWCUNIek Introspection is an important skill for increasing intelligence and wisdom It involves self-reflection, consciousness, self-awareness, and observation In our society, introspection is not commonly taught or encouraged It is possible to discover the truth through introspection Introspection is more than just thinking about or reacting to something emotionally It involves understanding the dynamics of your own psychology and the patterns of your own thoughts and emotions It requires honesty, self-inquiry, and the ability to observe without judgment The benefits of introspection include increased self-awareness, improved decision-making, and the ability to overcome self-deception and delusion Introspection can be developed through practices such as meditation, journaling, therapy, and self-inquiry exercises It is important to be aware of judgments, demonizations, and blaming and scapegoating of others It is also important to be aware of playing the victim in different areas of life In arguments, people try to claim victim status and the person who is able to claim it the most wins the argument This victim mentality can lead to making certain demands of others Introspection is necessary to notice these dynamics and to see the payoff for complaining and whining It may take time to understand and make sense of these introspective feelings It is important to be honest with oneself and to not just focus on the negative aspects of one's life It is important to be aware of the ego and its tendencies to defend itself and to blame and make excuses It is important to take responsibility for one's own actions and to not try to blame others or external circumstances Being honest with oneself can lead to growth and transformation. The speaker initially believed they were too old to learn pickup and be successful with it They wrote down all the reasons why they were not too old to learn and practiced self-affirmation to overcome this limiting belief Double standards, such as criticizing others for appealing to authority but not applying the same criticism to oneself or one's own beliefs, are common and can be difficult to recognize The speaker became skilled at noticing double standards and self-bias through introspection and debating with others It is important to recognize and challenge one's own double standards in order to improve critical thinking skills and become more open-minded The speaker recommends practicing introspection and debating with others in order to identify and challenge one's own double standards and biases. The speaker has had emotionally charged arguments with religious friends in the past and has questioned why they get emotionally triggered in these arguments The speaker initially thought their scientific and skeptical beliefs were true, but upon introspection realized that they had certain doubts and inconsistencies in their beliefs that they were hiding from themselves Most people do not introspect while arguing, they just spout their ideas without questioning their own positions or biases When one is truly in possession of the truth, there is no argument and no emotional reactivity or triggering The speaker suggests introspecting and questioning the source and trustworthiness of one's logic in order to recognize when it is corrupted by the ego and self-bias It is important to admit when one truly does not know something, rather than pretending to know To determine whether one truly knows something, the speaker suggests introspection rather than consulting external sources The speaker receives questions from people asking about love, god, and enlightenment, but believes that if someone is asking these questions, it means they do not already know the answers The speaker suggests that one must feel their way through their beliefs and understandings to determine their truthfulness, rather than relying on external sources or societal conditioning The speaker advises being open to the possibility that one's current beliefs and understanding may be wrong or incomplete The speaker believes that true understanding and knowledge come from within, rather than from external sources or societal conditioning. Missionary work motivated by insecurities and lack of confidence in religious belief system Overcompensation as a coping mechanism Denial and how to recognize it through introspection Reactions to constructive feedback and failure Habits and addictions, and the sources of these Tone of self-talk and its impact on self-perception Hidden assumptions in different situations Conflicts of interest in career and job choices Skewed worldview due to financial dependence on certain industries or organizations Preconceptions and biases that impact perception and decision-making Ways to introspect and increase self-awareness Benefits of self-awareness and introspection Notice positive things in life, such as love, spiritual connection, and inspiration Do more of what brings positive feelings and do less of what brings negative feelings Distinguish between high quality and low quality pleasures Notice contradictions and inconsistencies in one's own worldview Distinguish between direct experience and fantasy Notice when in an unresourceful state or bad mood Notice privileges and recognize they are not universal Recognize that perspective is not the same as reality Notice and distinguish between reality and one's interpretation of a situation Notice and challenge limiting beliefs Notice and challenge automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) Notice and challenge negative self-talk Notice and challenge the desire for perfection Notice and challenge the need for certainty Notice and challenge the desire for approval from others Notice and challenge the need for control Notice and challenge the desire for comfort Notice and challenge the desire for avoidance of discomfort or pain Using "liberal" to include "progressive" Self-reflection for conspiracy theorists, flat earthers, and those who pretend to know things they do not Military indoctrination and justification for violence Being a victim in an abusive relationship Incel ideology and limiting beliefs about relationships with women Pickup artists' manipulation and dishonesty in interactions with women Business people who exploit customers and employees Attachment to positions in debates, not striving for truth Online forum or comment section participation and attachment to a "team" or ideology Social media usage and self-image construction Ideology and attachment to political parties Biases and prejudices Racism and discrimination Sexism and gender roles Homophobia and transphobia Ableism and ableist language Ageism and ageist attitudes Religious beliefs and attachment to ideology Spirituality and attachment to beliefs Parenting and attachment to beliefs about child-rearing Attachment to beliefs about health and wellness Attachment to beliefs about relationships and love Attachment to beliefs about success and failure Attachment to beliefs about personal identity and worth Emotional labor is difficult and confusing Introspection requires effort and may be overwhelming It may be difficult to balance and there may be setbacks Taking responsibility for your life and actions can be overwhelming Being good is hard, being bad is easy It will take years to develop introspection skills No one will push you to develop introspection skills Society does not value introspection There may be no external rewards for developing introspection skills As you become more introspective, others may see you as a nuisance It may be hard to find people to talk to about your introspection journey You may need to be patient with yourself as you develop introspection skills It may be hard to find people to talk to about your introspection journey It is important to practice self-compassion during the process of developing introspection skills.

The 9 Stages Of Ego Development - Part 3 https://youtu.be/pGItuEai8vo The 9 Stages of Ego Development are a model developed by Suzanne Cook Greuter The model is divided into 9 stages, with the final two stages being the most important The final two stages are called the "Construct Aware/Ego Aware/Magician" stage and the "Unitive" stage The Construct Aware stage is estimated to be reached by about 1.5% of the US adult population The Unitive stage is estimated to be reached by about 0.5% of the US adult population It is not productive to try to rush through the stages and skip ahead The ego tends to overestimate its own development and maturity It is important to be honest with oneself about where one is on the journey of ego development The Construct Aware stage is characterized by a recognition of the limitations of one's own perspective and a willingness to consider multiple viewpoints The Unitive stage is characterized by a realization of the interconnectedness of all things and a transcendence of ego-based thinking The ultimate goal of the model is self-actualization and the realization of one's full potential The speaker suggests that people should focus on the "achiever stage" and "burn through that karma" before pursuing enlightenment The speaker suggests using a model to evaluate books, videos, courses, seminars, workshops, and teachers based on which stage of development they are for The speaker advises setting a long-term vision and working towards it, even if it is beyond one's current capabilities The first stage being discussed is the "construct aware ego aware/magician" stage, which is about becoming aware of the constructed nature of reality and that material reality and the mind are intertwined In this stage, people may also become aware of their ego and how it influences their perception of reality The second stage is the "pluralist" stage, which is about developing a more holistic and inclusive worldview In this stage, people may become more open to multiple perspectives and integrate seemingly conflicting ideas The third stage is the "strategist" stage, which is about developing a long-term vision and taking action to achieve it In this stage, people may become more strategic and proactive in their approach to life The fourth stage is the "transcendent unitive" stage, which is about transcending the ego and experiencing a sense of unity with all things In this stage, people may experience spiritual awakenings and a deeper understanding of the interconnected nature of reality. The limits of language often dictate the limits of the mind Language shapes and influences us deeply, often unconsciously At the "construct aware" stage, one becomes more aware of the limitations and beauty of language At this stage, one also becomes aware of the dual nature of linguistic categories and concepts The ego mind takes responsibility for how it creates abstractions and concepts This stage pushes against the limits of the human mind and the idea that one is a human There is a realization that there are minds beyond the human mind This stage involves exploring new ways of thinking beyond cultural and linguistic limitations The next stage is the "unmanifest aware" stage, which involves going beyond language and the ego mind There is a future episode on language as a deep and complex topic. The speaker talks about the process of self-deception and how it can be recognized and corrected At early stages of development, a person may not be aware of self-deception As development progresses, a person may become aware of how much they deceive themselves, but may still be attached to the deception At higher stages of development, a person may be quick at recognizing self-deception and be able to stop it before it starts The self is constructed through thinking about oneself and relating everything to oneself in order to survive as a self Birth and death are not physical processes, but are the process of thinking about oneself as a self or ceasing to think of oneself as a self As deconstruction of the self continues, it may lead to the annihilation of the self, which can be scary because the person doesn't know what comes after self-annihilation However, self-annihilation does not mean anything because the person will not exist to experience it The goal is to become aware of the self at the center of the construction process and to see through the deception of the self This allows for the realization that the self is not separate from the world, but is interconnected with everything This realization leads to a shift in perspective and allows for a deeper understanding and experience of reality This understanding can bring about a sense of peace and acceptance of the present moment. Certain human function has a backstory with layers of interpretation, conceptualization, and self-bias Possibility of reaching raw truth beneath these layers Struggling to break free of the ego and its influence Zen or meditation work becomes a twisted, counterintuitive process where the more you try to detach, the more attached you become Need to shift approach and let go, rather than trying to control everything Awareness of the splits and paradoxes inherent to thought Recognition that all thought is constructed and split off from non-dual reality Effort to be fully alive and open to experience, free of linguistic filters Recognition that good and evil, life and death, beauty and ugliness are two sides of the same coin Understanding that the universe is not made up of separate, isolated things Recognition that everything is interconnected and interdependent Understanding that the self is an illusion and that there is no separation between self and others or self and the universe Experience of a sense of unity and oneness with all things Realization that the present moment is all that exists, and the past and future are mental constructs Understanding that consciousness is the fundamental essence of the universe Recognition of the impermanence of all things Acceptance of suffering as a part of life Understanding that attachment and desire lead to suffering Letting go of the ego and living in a state of non-attachment, non-duality, and mindfulness. The concept of the "centaur" (integrating the lower and higher functions of the self) The importance of finding balance and hierarchy in one's priorities The realization that life involves a certain amount of chaos and the need to "surf" those waves The ego construct or undifferentiated whole stage, where the interconnectedness of all things is realized The unitive or cosmic stage, where absolute truth can be directly experienced The difficulty in explaining or describing absolute truth, and the need for an awakening to understand it The concept of "wu wei," or flowing through life with minimal resistance The role of responsibility in reaching this stage, and the challenges and confusion that may be encountered along the way The potential for a profound experience and transformation at the unitive stage. The speaker believes that most people are only concerned with practical matters like meeting their needs for pleasure in the short term These practical concerns are seen as a bias and may lead to a "soulless" or "spiritless" life focused on material matters The speaker is interested in teaching a "vertical" rather than "lateral" development, which includes seeing the dignity and value in all forms of life and non-demanding relationships with others At this stage of development, people may show more respect for all forms of life, including animals The ego and biases can prevent people from seeing the inherent value and worth of all forms of life The speaker encourages the listener to consider the impractical and the non-material aspects of life, which may lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence. Mathematics and other specialized technical knowledge are separate from personal qualities such as consciousness, wisdom, and capacity to love The "unitive person" has a personal relationship with a universal intelligence and can channel deep insights and wisdom from it This connection is like speaking to god telepathically, but it is actually talking to oneself as a part of this universal intelligence This connection can be developed to high fidelity, allowing access to superhuman levels of intelligence, wisdom, and insight Most people have a "dial-up" connection to universal intelligence, while some have a higher bandwidth or "gigabit" connection Developing this connection is intuitive and leads to a constant influx of insights and wisdom Sharing these insights and wisdom with others can help them develop their own connection to universal intelligence. At a certain stage of development, it is realized that all of reality, including the physical and material, is imaginary There is no difference between dreams and everyday experiences Life becomes impersonal, and taking things personally is an illusion This stage is where true happiness, satisfaction, tranquility, and equanimity are achieved Enlightenment and awakening tend to occur at this stage, although they can also happen at earlier stages At this stage, birth and death are understood to be imaginary and absolute love is realized The self and others are seen as one and indistinguishable All fear and judgment are understood to be illusions There may be an awakening of the heart or mind, with an awakening of the heart being more important and powerful The good life is seen as living selflessly and helping others At this stage, there is a realization that the journey of self-discovery never truly ends, and there is always more to learn and understand The speaker is still working to understand advanced, rare stages of personal development Reaching the "unit of stage" is a significant achievement and puts someone in the top 1.001% of the global population The speaker will continue to share their knowledge about these stages in future content Actualize.org is a website with resources for personal development, including a blog, book list, course, and forum The speaker prefers the nine stage model they have discussed to Spiral Dynamics because they find it more nuanced and personal The speaker's goal is to help people move into the post-conventional stages of personal development and beyond Actualize.org focuses on topics such as epistemology, self-deception, belief systems, ideology, and cults in order to help people understand and move beyond these lower stages The speaker encourages people to work on their personal development and use the nine stage model as a roadmap

What If Reality Is Nothing But Perspective https://youtu.be/_JmNzIN0c2c Reality is made up of different perspectives Most people are stuck in their limited perspective and unable to see reality from any other angle This limited perspective is often defended as absolute truth, even though it is not It is important to be able to look at the world from different perspectives in order to truly understand reality The mind is often stuck in a game of defending its own perspective It is important to take a meta perspective and see the situation for what it is, rather than simply defending one's own perspective Differences in perspective can be seen everywhere, from YouTube debates to cable news arguments It is possible to break free from this limited perspective and see reality more clearly This requires letting go of the ego and its need to defend its perspective By embracing a more open-minded and flexible approach to reality, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the world around us. The idea of not being interested in defending any specific intellectual position or pet theory The concept of seeing through the "game" of having a certain perspective and rising above it The issue of evaluating other perspectives without truly switching to and experiencing them The self-biased and partial nature of perspectives The convenience and selfishness of perspectives elevating themselves above others The need to genuinely explore and understand other perspectives The realization that all perspectives are limited and incomplete The potential benefits of adopting this attitude towards life and avoiding being trapped by a single perspective Changing behavior of a machine requires changing the BIOS level BIOS level changes can open up new capabilities, but also come with a trade-off of increased difficulty and potential for mistakes BIOS is influenced by culture, society, education system, and environment BIOS influences how a person interacts with their environment and the approval, love, and basic needs they can expect to receive from their community A person may be forced to adopt the BIOS of their community in order to fit in and receive approval and love Children are programmed with a BIOS from an early age and may not be aware of it The BIOS can be changed, but it requires self-reflection and a willingness to challenge and change one's beliefs and assumptions The process of changing the BIOS is difficult and may be met with resistance from oneself and others, but it can lead to personal growth and a better understanding of the world. The act of rolling down a hill and accumulating material represents the process of growing and developing as a person In the first half of life, people focus on accreting and defining themselves In the second half of life, people can choose to reverse this process and surrender themselves, questioning why they developed in the ways they did To truly understand oneself and reality, it is necessary to be open to exploring different perspectives and understanding reality from every possible angle Reality is made up of infinite perspectives, and to fully understand it requires looking at it from every possible perspective Different people and different tools (such as cameras) can perceive and represent reality in different ways The ultimate goal is to understand reality as it truly is, rather than through a personal lens To do this, it is necessary to be open and willing to surrender one's own perspective The idea that to fully understand a perspective, one must live through it and not just understand it in theory The example of an atheist understanding the perspective of a fundamentalist Christian by attending a church meeting versus fully incarnating and living as a fundamentalist Christian for a significant amount of time The same idea applied to a Christian understanding the perspective of a fundamentalist Muslim The belief that every consciousness must incarnate and live through every possible permutation of experience in order to reach complete self-understanding and infinity The movement from fear and limited perspective to a desire to explore more perspectives as a movement from fear to love The concept of critical mass, where understanding reaches a point where it falls in love with itself and all of its diversity of perspectives The idea that understanding and exploring different perspectives leads to personal growth and evolution The belief that this process of understanding and exploring different perspectives is the purpose of life. Doing violence to others, even if only in one's own mind, is really judging and demonizing oneself Other perspectives are all aspects of oneself, and therefore, judging and criticizing them is really judging and criticizing oneself Wishing violence upon others will come back to haunt the person doing it There are two options in life: being bitter or being loving Bitterness is proportional to how little one understands and appreciates other perspectives, while love is proportional to one's understanding and appreciation of the abundance in the universe The goal of creating a good life is to get one's mind on an infinite slope of love, where love accumulates more and more and becomes an echo chamber that strengthens itself Fear, selfishness, and attachment prevent people from achieving this freefall of love Love that is too intense to be held can heal and transform a person, but the ego or shadow self inside of them may resist this transformation To truly heal and transform, one must be willing to confront and embrace the darkness within oneself This process requires a lot of courage, but ultimately leads to the realization of one's true self and a life of joy and peace.

Life Advice For Young People - Part 2 https://youtu.be/liwbIO4tbxE The importance of youth as a valuable resource The danger of squandering youth, especially in developed parts of the world where life is relatively easy The need to start investing in your future at around age 15 The challenges that come with getting older, such as health problems, declining energy and hormones, and commitments and obligations The importance of developing a strong foundation and foundation skills in your youth The need to set goals and create a plan for achieving them The value of taking risks and learning from failure The importance of self-improvement and continuous learning The benefits of surrounding yourself with good people The need to be proactive and take control of your life The importance of developing a sense of purpose and meaning in life. Life is counterintuitive and the more you try to make it easy, the harder it becomes Instead of waiting for life to challenge you, set your own challenges This allows you to live on your own terms and be more passionate about the challenges you choose Be wary of shortcuts and magic pills, they often don't work and waste time Focus on building stable things in your life, such as a solid foundation for a business or good relationships This takes longer but will pay dividends in the long run Avoid flimsy solutions and look for substance Develop a strong work ethic Be patient and persistent, don't give up easily Don't let setbacks or failures define you, learn from them and move on Take responsibility for your life, don't blame others or make excuses Surround yourself with the right people, those who will lift you up and support you Invest in yourself, continuously learn and grow Take care of your physical and mental health Practice gratitude and focus on the positive aspects of your life Life is a winding, twisting process Linear paths may not lead to as great a destination as winding steps Be open to new opportunities and be willing to improvise and take calculated risks Don't get stuck in a rut; change location and try new things every 5 years Don't imitate others; be authentically yourself Don't over-plan; be open to the unexpected Trust your gut and listen to your inner voice Don't be too hard on yourself; allow for mistakes and learning Don't be too attached to outcomes; focus on the journey Find your purpose and passion, and let them guide your actions Practice gratitude and mindfulness Surround yourself with positive, supportive people Take care of your physical and mental health People get distracted by petty and shallow aspects of life, such as gossip, trying to fit in, and impressing others It is important to ground oneself in something deeper and more meaningful, such as spirituality or self-improvement Society and culture can distract people from these deeper pursuits, and it is important to block out these distractions and focus on one's own vision and goals Engaging in petty activities, such as socializing or trying to please others, can be unfulfilling and produce little satisfaction It is important to make time for solitude and self-reflection in order to find the deeper answers to life and work on one's own inner development It is recommended to set aside at least a week per year for retreats and solitude in order to focus on inner work and self-discovery Businesses may resort to trickery in order to survive Trickery is common in business, relationships, and society Love and fear are the two forces that drive people's lives Trauma often results in a need for love People may try to manipulate or control others to get love, but this does not work To have a fulfilling life, people should focus on filling their own cup with love through spiritual practice and creative work The goal is to become an infinite, ever-flowing fountain of love and give it to others It is better to be a source of love than to beg for it from others To fill your own cup with love, focus on personal growth, self-improvement, and developing a strong identity Stop trying to get love from external sources and focus on creating it within yourself Love is not about getting something from someone else, but about giving and sharing with others To have a healthy, loving life, focus on being a giver rather than a taker Love is an energy that can be cultivated and shared with others To cultivate love, focus on compassion, empathy, and understanding for others. The speaker is discussing the idea that individuals can develop and transform themselves over time, becoming a "butterfly" through their own efforts and self-development The speaker is presenting their teachings and materials as a way to help individuals move towards this transformation and reach higher states of consciousness The speaker suggests that it may take decades of work to fully realize the potential of this transformation and reach higher states of consciousness The speaker suggests that many people do not believe in the possibility of reaching higher states of consciousness and do not put in the necessary work to achieve it The speaker states that reality is subjective and perspectival, meaning that people have different perspectives on reality and there is no one objective truth The speaker advises individuals to be open to different perspectives and to be willing to experiment with life in order to discover new possibilities The speaker warns against being closed-minded, skeptical, or cynical, as these attitudes can prevent individuals from discovering new possibilities and reaching higher states of consciousness. It is normal to feel confused, lost, ignorant, and insecure, especially in your 20s The most important thing is to have a desire and passion for an extraordinary life The journey is just as important as the destination, and life is an adventure Working on improving your life should be something you are passionate about for its own sake Test out the principles and tips given to see if they work for you, and tailor the process to your own personality and strengths Consider taking the "life purpose course" to further delve into self-discovery and developing a career out of your passion The material covered in the two-part series is the foundation for a plan for your entire life and is not complicated, considering the importance of the topic

How Psychedelics Work - Making Sense Of Psychedelics https://youtu.be/vJG8swAQYwc Introduction to the topic of psychedelics and the speaker's background in studying them The speaker's experience with various types of psychedelics and the importance of diverse experiences The depth and breadth of the territory of psychedelics and the need for a significant number of trips to truly understand them The speaker's approach to understanding psychedelics from a scientific perspective The fundamental nature of consciousness and the relationship between consciousness and reality The role of psychedelics in altering consciousness and the potential for personal and societal transformation The mechanisms by which psychedelics affect the brain, including serotonin and the default mode network The concept of non-duality and how it can be experienced through psychedelics The importance of setting and intention in the psychedelic experience The potential for therapeutic uses of psychedelics in treating mental health issues and addiction The need for responsible use of psychedelics and the potential dangers of misuse Conclusion and encouragement to continue learning about and exploring the world of psychedelics. Psychedelics force one to change their reality and beliefs about reality Most people are too afraid to fully understand psychedelics Psychedelics change the ordinary flow of consciousness and can lead to a "breakthrough" experience where the individual realizes their previous understanding of reality was a hallucination This can be shocking and confusing, especially if the individual is trying to understand the experience using a scientific or materialistic paradigm The concept of self is also challenged by psychedelics Psychedelics can provide deep spiritual insights and a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of all things It is important to approach psychedelics with an open mind and be prepared for the possibility of a radical shift in understanding reality Psychedelics, like LSD, mushrooms, and DMT, affect the way people experience consciousness People are not typically trained to recognize pure consciousness, and may be poor meditators When people take psychedelics, they may experience hallucinations, such as seeing faces in walls or hearing music differently These hallucinations are caused by the psychedelic twisting "knobs" or altering certain aspects of consciousness, such as color perception or image recognition While experiencing these hallucinations, people may be hypnotized or mesmerized by the changing content of consciousness The most important aspect of understanding psychedelics is to focus on the "major dial" or central aspect of consciousness, rather than getting caught up in the changing content or "minor knobs" The value of psychedelics is not just that they allow people to change states of consciousness, but rather that they allow people to observe and compare these states of consciousness and understand how consciousness works Psychedelics can help people to see their own ego more clearly and understand the nature of the self The ego is a construct that helps people to function in the world, but it is not the true nature of the self Psychedelics can also help people to see the interconnectedness of all things and understand the concept of "oneness" In order to get the most out of a psychedelic experience, it is important to set an intention and be open to the experience Psychedelics are not a "quick fix" and should not be treated as a recreational drug, but rather as a tool for self-discovery and personal growth. The speaker discusses the potential impact of psychedelics on an individual's perception and understanding of reality They use the example of someone experiencing a different neighborhood or culture, and compare it to the experience of taking a psychedelic The speaker emphasizes that while psychedelics can have a profound effect, they are not a "cure-all" and require effort to integrate the experience into everyday life The speaker also notes that each psychedelic experience can build upon the previous ones, allowing the individual to explore more and deeper aspects of consciousness The speaker cautions that psychedelics can be intense and challenging, and suggests preparing for the experience and finding a trusted guide or sitter to support the process The speaker also advises being open to the experience and letting go of expectations or preconceived notions about what will happen during the trip The speaker concludes by stressing the importance of responsible use and respecting the power of psychedelics. Computer and material reality are examples of consciousness Special relativity explains time dilation and the relativity of motion in a single direction (uniform motion) General relativity includes accelerations and is a more broad concept than special relativity Material reality is a special, limiting case of an infinite number of states of consciousness that are possible The illusion of material reality is created when consciousness consistently imagines the same thing over and over again Reality is relative and arbitrary, and is based on what one is familiar with There are limits to what the human body and this life can do, and these create constraints for consciousness On moderate doses of psychedelics, one can still have control of their body, but on high doses, the body may disappear Psychedelics are feared because at high doses, there is a risk of harming oneself or others Our consciousness and reality are interconnected, and changing one affects the other Psychedelics can provide powerful insights into reality These insights can be more true and powerful than those accessed in ordinary consciousness However, it is possible to misinterpret insights Ordinary consciousness is just a hallucination governed by neurotransmitters It is arrogant to assume that one's current configuration of neurotransmitters is the only true one There is no one true configuration of neurotransmitters; all are relative and generate appearances The truth is the realization that everything is a state of consciousness and there is nothing but states of consciousness Psychedelics can help access this realization Critics of psychedelics may not be aware that they are criticizing from a state of hallucination and delusion Different states of consciousness grant different access to insights and understanding It is important to have an open mind and be fearless and curious in order to fully benefit from psychedelics Contemplation and self-work can also improve trips and lead to greater insights It is important to be selfless and mature in heart, mind, soul, and spirit in order to fully understand and benefit from insights gained through psychedelics. In the past, Christianity and science were intertwined and most scientists were religious When Galileo presented his findings on moons and planets, they were rejected by the scientists of the time because they were unable to understand it within their current paradigm This is an example of science being locked in a paradigm and not religion suppressing science Today, psychedelics are being rejected by modern science because they are unable to understand it within their current paradigm Recognizing psychedelics as a valid tool for exploration of reality will be a game-changer for science The acceptance of psychedelics will lead to a shift in the way we view and understand reality This shift will require a change in the way we approach science and how we think about ourselves and the world around us There is a need for a more open-minded and inclusive approach to science that allows for exploration of new ideas and ways of understanding reality The speaker is open-minded and epistemically humble, meaning they are constantly questioning their own beliefs and biases Open-mindedness is the speaker's religion and they have been practicing it for 20 years This has led to an understanding of reality that is difficult to communicate to others The speaker believes that a lack of open-mindedness is a major obstacle to understanding reality and suggests using psychedelics and other techniques to increase open-mindedness The speaker is passionate about teaching deep topics, but warns that there are potential traps and dangers along the way The speaker's audience should be mature, serious, curious, open-minded, fearless, willing to do hard work, and willing to try meditation, retreats, and other techniques to increase understanding The speaker's understanding of reality is likely to be beyond the comprehension of most people, even intellectuals and scientists This understanding will have a deep and transformative effect on the speaker's life and relationships, as well as their career, communication, emotions, health, and other areas The speaker advises caution and careful attention to avoid self-deception and other pitfalls.

Total Awakening Live In Real Time - Part 2 https://youtu.be/NnpRkE4L_io The speaker is discussing the limitations of the human form and how worshiping finite forms, like Jesus or Buddha, will not bring one to the infinite The speaker discusses various levels of self-bias and purity, from those who only care about themselves to those who have a sense of identity with their town or country The speaker advises moving beyond these limited identities to a universal sense of self, where one cares about all beings and realizes their interconnectedness The speaker discusses the power of intention and how focusing on the present moment can bring about transformation The speaker advises letting go of the ego and the mind, and surrendering to the present moment and the present experience The speaker discusses the importance of living in the present moment and not getting caught up in the past or future The speaker advises living in love and compassion, and letting go of the ego and the mind to fully awaken to one's true nature The speaker believes that people experience a mix of good and bad things in reality God only creates good things, but people may perceive some things as bad because of their limited perspective God is infinite love and formless, and therefore cannot be hurt or feel fear When people become self-biased and start to prefer certain things, they may feel fear Awakening involves unraveling the self and understanding the true nature of consciousness, which is a field with vortices (individual selves) that become distorted and twisted The goal of life is to release fear and open up to more love People may feel fear because they are attached to their selves and the things they prefer To release fear and open up to love, people should let go of their attachments and become more selfless God is everywhere and within everyone, and people can access this divine consciousness by letting go of their ego and surrendering to the present moment

Self-Love - The Highest Teaching In The Universe https://youtu.be/4OmMpYa7R_U Personal development content creator has been on a journey to understand reality and personal development for 7 years Recently found the highest teaching in the universe to be self-love Self-love is not ordinary self-love, but rather capital "S" Self and capital "L" Love Understanding this one teaching allows for understanding of all other teachings and how they fit in or if they are extraneous Creator's understanding of reality has grown and changed over the past 7 years, leading to sometimes contradictory statements Everyone goes through a process of understanding and making mistakes, and self-love is the result of this process The universe is self-organizing and self-creating, and this is the basis for self-love The universe is constantly creating itself and evolving, and self-love is the ability to participate in this process Self-love is the understanding and acceptance of the present moment and the ego's role in it Self-love involves letting go of the ego and surrendering to the present moment The ego is the part of the self that is separate and distinct from the rest of the universe The ego creates a separation between the self and the universe, leading to suffering The ego is a necessary part of the self, but it needs to be transcended in order to experience self-love The ego is the source of all negative emotions and thoughts, and self-love involves letting go of the ego and its negative influence Self-love involves the acceptance of all parts of the self, including the negative aspects The ultimate goal of self-love is to become one with the universe and to experience unity and oneness The path to self-love involves learning to love and accept oneself, and then extending that love and acceptance to others Self-love involves taking responsibility for one's own happiness and well-being The journey to self-love is a lifelong process and requires continuous effort and practice Radical Islamic ideology promotes self-love Christianity preaches about love, but often does not practice self-love Corruption in the Catholic Church may be due to lack of self-love Self-love is a key component in solving mankind's problems Self-love involves understanding the true self and loving it Self-love cannot be achieved through thinking, reasoning, logic, or materialistic science Self-love can be achieved through spiritual practices and consciousness expansion Self-love allows for the autocorrection of problems Specific examples of how self-love can solve problems will be provided. The concept of self-love involves more than just physical attraction to oneself It also involves appreciation and acceptance of one's own personality and being Political parties and countries are also a part of the self or the universe To love the self is to appreciate and embrace the beauty and magic of one's own existence and the existence of the universe as a whole Self-love involves expanding the appreciation and love one feels for themselves in small moments, such as when looking in the mirror or receiving a compliment, to the entire universe Self-love is different from conditional love, which is based on what someone or something can do for us or make us feel True self-love involves loving oneself and others simply for their existence, without any conditions Practicing self-love involves becoming more conscious of one's own infinite mind and the role it plays in generating the reality we experience It also involves putting physical appearances and what the body can do for us into proper perspective and focusing on unconditional love instead Self-love can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of one's own being and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Confidence and self-love are important for successful relationships and can prevent manipulation or exploitation Disagreements and arguments can often be caused by a lack of self-love, and practicing self-love can help resolve conflicts Lack of self-love can contribute to the breakdown of relationships, such as in the case of divorce Self-love is important for dealing with difficult situations, such as illness, injury, and wrongdoing It is important to practice self-care and self-compassion in order to cultivate self-love Self-love does not mean staying in an abusive relationship, but rather setting boundaries and making decisions that are best for one's long-term growth and well-being People who are successful and happy in life have a strong sense of self-love, mission, and purpose. Self-love allows one to have a strong sense of purpose and motivation to contribute to the world in a meaningful way. To overcome fear and achieve success, one must love their idea and vision for their business and believe in its ability to make a positive impact on the world. The payoff for a successful business is not the money, but rather the positive impact it has on people's lives. People who engage in unethical or harmful business practices are often unhappy and empty inside. To truly be successful and happy, one must love themselves and others, and have a genuine love for reality and life. Self-love is important and can be helpful in difficult situations When self-love becomes excessive, it can lead to negative consequences To recover from a "bad trip," it is important to take care of oneself and find ways to relax and feel comforted Worry, hate, and fear can prevent us from making good decisions and finding ways to improve our situation Lack of self-love can contribute to social problems such as violence, crime, mass shootings, terrorism, racism, and abuse In order to address these issues, we need to prioritize self-love and empathy towards others We should seek to understand the root causes of these problems and work to create a supportive environment that helps prevent people from falling through the cracks Rather than blaming individuals for their problems, we should recognize that societal issues may contribute to their situation and seek to address those issues as well Parenting education and support for parents can be important in preventing problems from arising in the first place We should also recognize that self-love is difficult to achieve when we are facing serious problems and make an effort to cultivate it even in these circumstances The universe can be thought of as a single particle that contains everything that exists This particle is what it is (a equals a) and exists within consciousness An infinite consciousness (God) must accept itself and everything within its consciousness because to do otherwise would be insanity To exist, even a material object must accept itself as it is Consciousness is not a biological phenomenon or a byproduct of living creatures, but rather the truth and the absolute reality Acceptance is a metaphysical and existential concept that applies to all things, not just psychological functions of humans To be conscious of something is to imagine it, and imagination is the basis of all creation The universe is a thought in the mind of God, and all of its contents are also thoughts within that mind The nature of reality is love because it is the acceptance of all things as they are, and the rejection of anything would go against the nature of consciousness The ultimate goal is to realize that one is God and to live in a state of love and acceptance of all things Ordinary exercise involves reminding oneself of one's true identity and embracing oneself as is To practice this exercise, use inner talk to remind oneself that one is exactly as they are and doesn't need to change This can be applied to situations where one may not like something about someone else, but can still love the whole situation A good question to ask oneself to practice this is to think of something ugly about life and then remind oneself that it is part of oneself and embrace it Love and truth are identical, as to have the truth of something is to love it, and love allows it to be true Reality and consciousness are infinite and include everything, including things that may be considered "ugly" or undesirable Self-love is achieved when consciousness understands and accepts all of itself, reuniting all divisions and differences From this ultimate reunion, one can come back into the world and see things in a new context, recognizing oneself as God exploring various limited forms (such as being human, an animal, etc.) Self-love may be abstract and hard to understand at first, but with time and experience it will be better understood and appreciated This work is about self-love and planting seeds in the mind that will eventually sprout and bring about spiritual growth and understanding.

The Dangers Of Spiritual Work https://youtu.be/Oaiqh4OEtAw The dangers of spiritual work and taking personal development to an existential and metaphysical level The unique nature of the spiritual path and how it deals with an individual's fears, limiting beliefs, neuroses, and traumas The importance of fully surrendering oneself and embodying the teachings in order to achieve the deepest levels of awakening The potential for ego backlash and the dark side of meditation The importance of being honest with oneself and the potential for negative consequences if the work is not approached with the right mindset The need for a strong support system and guidance from a qualified teacher The importance of integration and not getting stuck in spiritual bypassing or nihilism The potential for spiritual awakening to bring about transformation and a deeper understanding of the self and the world. The idea that pursuing a goal or desire for a long time can eventually lead to feeling "over it" and a desire for something new The idea that this process can lead to a deeper understanding or lesson that can be carried over into future lifetimes The importance of being honest with oneself about one's true goals and desires, and the potential dangers of internalizing societal or cultural ideals The concept of "awakening" and the idea of questioning whether one is truly motivated to pursue it The idea that one's motivations and desires may be influenced by external sources such as media, parents, or religious leaders The potential for ideals to be inauthentic and for one to feel threatened when questioning them Awakening involves figuring things out and thinking independently It is a process that involves overcoming ego and defilements, and spiritually purifying oneself This process is not easy and often involves gut-wrenching work It is not advertised by spiritual teachers as being easy, and many people do not achieve it The problem is not the awakening experience itself, but rather accepting the truth and aligning one's habits, actions, and emotions with it This can be challenging because people are currently aligned with the opposite truth, that reality is real While it is helpful to rely on teachers and guidance, ultimately one must figure out the puzzle for themselves The process involves a lot of trial and error, and there will be setbacks and challenges along the way It is important to be kind to oneself during the process, and not to get discouraged by setbacks It is also important to keep in mind that the end result is worth it, and once one gets past the challenges, it will be wonderful. The speaker describes a scene in which two characters are playing a game and the stakes are high The villain is initially winning and Bond (the main character) is struggling Bond eventually turns the game around and begins to win, while the villain starts to lose The Bond villain ultimately decides to let go and forfeit the game, saving his life in the process The speaker suggests that this moment is an example of wisdom, as the Bond villain understood when it was necessary to let go in order to avoid harm The speaker relates this concept to the pursuit of spiritual awakening and meditation, explaining that it is important for individuals to be self-aware and know their own limits in order to avoid potentially harmful situations The speaker advises individuals to be honest with themselves about their own level of readiness and capacity for handling difficult experiences, and to be aware of the potential for unhealthy or dysfunctional approaches to spiritual practices The speaker emphasizes the importance of figuring out a healthy and functional way to approach spiritual practices, rather than relying on external guidance or trying to emulate the practices of others The speaker suggests that it is okay to take breaks or take a step back if necessary, and that it is important to prioritize one's own well-being Meditating despite ego's desires Feeling the pain and suffering of ego contracting during meditation The idea that practicing meditation helps the "devil" leave your body The need to practice consistently over a long period of time to see results The dangers of tricking oneself into thinking they are practicing correctly The emotional labor involved in awakening and spirituality The fact that only a small percentage of people are "awake" The potential for harm when confronting the barriers to awakening The dangers of certain practices such as psychedelics or yoga The psychological and spiritual nature of the work being done The potential for one's life to be ruined in the pursuit of awakening The idea that everything may be meaningless The potential to lose relationships, material possessions, and social status The importance of understanding the potential risks and drawbacks of spiritual practice The potential for spiritual practice to bring about positive changes and growth The idea that spiritual practices can be used to escape from reality rather than confront it The importance of being honest with oneself about one's motivations and intentions The idea that ego may try to resist spiritual practices The need to be consistent and persistent in spiritual practice The potential for spiritual practice to bring about a sense of inner peace and happiness. Both teachers and students can be corrupt This can lead to distortion More content on new topics will be covered in the future

What Is Truth - The Definitive Answer https://youtu.be/nvaPmKQVIuQ Introduction to the topic of truth Claim that the speaker has become directly conscious of absolute truth and that others can too Explanation that truth is not understood by scientists, academics, philosophers, priests, or rabbis Importance of understanding truth and the need for serious pursuit and homework to understand it Personal story of how the speaker became aware of truth Definition of truth as "the nature of reality itself" Explanation that truth is not a belief, ideology, or religion, but something that can be directly experienced Discussion of the role of the ego in preventing people from understanding truth Explanation that truth is beyond words and language, and must be directly experienced to be understood Emphasis on the importance of the individual's own direct experience and understanding of truth, rather than relying on external sources or authorities Conclusion with encouragement to seek and understand the truth for oneself The concept of truth is that it corresponds to an objective, external reality The correspondence theory of truth is problematic because it only considers symbols and concepts in the mind There is a difference between the actual sky being blue and believing the sky is blue Truth is not just a matter of correspondence, but also involves a cognitive process Relative truth is a second-order concept, and has an opposite of falsehood Absolute truth is not easily described through words, but can be experienced through an exercise of focusing on one's hand Absolute truth is not dependent on language or concepts, and is not subject to change Absolute truth is an experience of pure consciousness, and is not separate from the self The realization of absolute truth can bring about a shift in perspective and understanding of the world. The text discusses the idea that everything in reality, including atoms, molecules, and humans, is ultimately made of math and truth The concept of truth is defined as "that which is the case" and includes everything that has ever happened, is happening, and will happen The text presents the equation "1 + 1 = 3" as an example of something that is false when interpreted symbolically, but true when considered in terms of its "isness" or "being" The text suggests that this understanding of truth allows us to go beyond science and the self-reference problem, and to see reality in a different way The text suggests that this understanding of reality allows us to see the big picture and the small picture at the same time, and to understand the interconnectedness of everything The text concludes by encouraging the reader to consider this perspective and to try to understand the deeper meaning behind things rather than simply interpreting them symbolically. The truth is difficult to understand and requires a "massive awakening" It is a catch-22 to try to understand the truth because one must already know the truth in order to do so The truth is not a thought or something that the brain or mind holds The truth exists regardless of the existence of the universe The truth is absolute and inescapable The truth is prior to all physical objects, time, space, and the universe Subjective experience may be an obstacle to understanding the truth The ultimate truth is beyond all concepts and language The ultimate truth is the foundation of all reality The ultimate truth is the source of consciousness We can have a direct experience of the ultimate truth through spiritual practices such as meditation This direct experience of the ultimate truth can bring about a transformation in our understanding and perception of reality. Truth is a multi-dimensional concept with many layers, aspects, and degrees Truth is consciousness, the whole universe, God, love, uncaused, self-created, eternal, not localized, intelligent and sentient, good, with no beginning or end, form and formlessness, all-powerful, the present moment, mysterious and mystical, self-awareness, self-illuminating, omniscient, a solution to all human problems, and you Truth includes all dualities and distinctions and differences Truth is life-transforming and has many practical implications Truth is not something that can be turned into an ideology Truth is radical, awesome and terrifying, paradise and total perfection Understanding one aspect of truth does not mean you understand all aspects of truth Truth did not come from anywhere and is nowhere Truth is nothing, which is everything, which is infinity The truth is exactly what is happening right now, exactly as it is The truth is always present, but we often don't see it due to the veil of illusion The process of understanding truth involves piercing through the veil of illusion repeatedly until understanding stabilizes This is just the beginning, and there is more to learn about truth Truth is both non-dual and dual At the highest level of non-dual consciousness, there is only one absolute truth Most people live in a dualistic state of consciousness, where relative truths are useful for manipulating reality Absolute truth is the substance of the entire universe Usefulness and practicality are part of absolute truth Asking "what's in it for me" when pursuing truth is a limited way of thinking The pursuit of truth is an end in itself and can bring a sense of fulfillment and meaning to life Understanding truth can bring about changes in behavior and actions The pursuit of truth requires letting go of ego and attachments. The speaker is trying to communicate the significance of discovering the absolute truth and how it can transform a person They try to make their teachings interesting and engaging, sometimes using dramatic or emotional language They make outrageous claims, but the significance of discovering the truth will outweigh those claims It is not egotistical to claim to know the absolute truth, but it is important to experience and understand it for oneself Be wary of anyone who claims to know the truth and uses it as part of their brand or teaching, as it could be a tactic used by those who seek to co-opt the truth Truth is not a property of the mind or brain, and it is not a human phenomenon Go deeper in understanding truth and be wary of any belief system or ideology that claims to have all the answers Truth can be difficult to understand and accept, and it may challenge or contradict previously held beliefs Do not be afraid to question and challenge your own beliefs and understandings of truth The journey to understanding truth is a personal one, and it may not be the same for everyone The speaker's content is not ideological, but rather serves a pragmatic purpose The content is meant to be used as mental scaffolding, to be used and discarded as needed The content is not meant to be worshipped or taken as gospel, but rather to be used as a tool to motivate, inspire, and engage the viewer The viewer should not study the content in the same way that Christians study the Bible, but rather use it as a tool to learn and discover new information Once the content is no longer useful, it should be discarded The viewer should not cling too closely to the content, but rather use it to enhance their life.
