Understanding is the ultimate power. If you do not understand you cannot know what love or creativity is. Reality is Mind. And the fundamental feature of Mind is the ability to understand itself. Intelligence is fundamental and it's what holds everything else together perfectly. The highest Love is born of pure understanding. You cannot love without understanding a thing properly. You also cannot create without understanding how creation happens. Try to create a car without understanding how a car works. Try to love slavery without understanding why it must exist. Action of the mind can help in understanding and having insight. Perhaps the most important function of mind is a profound and relentless questioning. The problem with silencing the mind is that it stops the questioning necessary to reach the deepest insights. This leads to a sort of spirituality where you are just like a dumb animal, sitting there peacefully but also sorta clueless as to the larger picture. A cat may have no ego and no thoughts, but it is not God-realized. It has no sense of the larger picture. Becoming like a cat is not what I'm after with this work. That is a waste of the human form's potential. If God wanted to be a cat, it would have made you a cat. It wanted something more than that.

@Salvijus I understand your position. Frame it however serves you.

Of course it does. But it's all been horribly corrupted and sidelined for mainstream trash religion. It's like diving for pearls in a sea of liquid shit. This is Jordan Peterson's career in a nutshell, and he will drown in it before he realizes God

I used to game on a combo of Modafinil + coffee. It certainly boosts verbals, creativity, and energy. But I would rather game on DMT.

Yes, but it's got pros and cons. Don't overlook the cons, like massive group-think. It brings both joys and sorrows. I wouldn't want a large social circle. What you lose in sex you gain in other areas.

Well, there is an even deeper level of self-comprehension which is beyond verbal, logical, or even symbolic. There is direct consciousness of yourself as God. This level of comprehension is so radical it's hard to describe. It is the moment of awakening itself. It is God awakening to itself. Verbal and logical comprehension is limited but still useful as it resolves certain divisions and confusions in your human mind. For example, you have questions like "What is death?", "Where did reality come from?", "Do other people exist?", "Why do I suffer?", etc. So it is good to get clear verbal and logical answers to those questions so they are completed and laid to rest. There is a process in which the highest non-verbal comprehension is then translated into some kind of verbal/logical comprehension which fits the human life better. Of course something is always lost in translation, but the translation can still be very useful. This translation process is part of growing spiritually as a human, because you cannot sustain the highest states of consciousness as a human. But you can bring back insights and wisdom and use those to guide your life. Which is the whole point of religious texts.

Yes, that's exactly correct. Because communication can only happen using mental imagery and symbolism your mind is familiar with. God has no problem speaking to you in Swahili, but you would not understand it. So God will speak to you in whatever language you understand best, like music. God could speak to you through a squawking bird. But this requires you really appreciate the squawking bird and recognize it as God. For example, I can literally sit and listen to music and hear each note as a communication of God's Love. But that's because I am God and I am recognizing myself in the music. I am recognizing a self-communication. I am communicating with myself in whichever way I want. The communication does not need to be verbal or logical. A coffee table can be a communication. Literally, anything will work if you want it to work badly enough. Which is why a wide variety of prayers and religious symbolism works. The form of the symbol doesn't matter. It could be Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Satan, a two-headed goat, or a talking penis. Whatever you want. People get hung up on the specifics of the symbols. This is the key mistake of all religions, even Buddhism. Exactly Yup It's like this: we can express any fundamental truth, such as, "Snow is white", using a thousand different languages. No one language is "the best" or "the truest". It's just a matter of understanding the fundamental thing that was trying to be communicated.

I'm not clear what you mean by this "bridge" and it being pure and empty. I just don't frame things that way in my mind. And there is more than one valid way to frame things. Whatever works for you. If you are encountering God's mind, that a good sign that you're moving in the right direction. But you must go deeper to the point where Judy's mind and God's mind become identitical, so there is zero difference between you and God. It sounds like you still hold God as other than you, as something above you. You have to literally realize you are God, and everything that entails.

That's the mindfuck of it, since reality is Infinite Mind, Infinite Mind has an absolute and unlimited capacity to grasp itself since it is all-powerful and all-knowing. God can grasp itself. Not merely in part, but in Total. This is Omniscience. You can completely understand what you are and how you create reality. To the point where everything is understood and clear, with no existential questions remaining. You can comprehend self, other, death, life, love, truth, existence, and more. God is capable of total self-understanding. This is the highest goal: to completely understand yourself. Everything else is derivative of understanding.

There is a feature of consciousness which I would call self-comprehension or self-understanding, and also a feature I would call interconnectedness. These are what I would call the upward direction as opposed to the downward direction of deconstructing sensory experience through formal technical meditation like Vipassana, or stilling the mind to the point of cessation. So what's required for God-realization is a crazy degree of self-comprehension and interconnectedness. The problem with traditional Buddhist practices is that they still the mind and produce cool higher states, but they don't give you that crazy degree of interconnected necessary for total self-comprehension. And so therefore reality, self, other, God, and Love are never really understood for what they are, even though there might be ego-loss. Ego-loss is not the same as a deep comprehension of things. This comprehension is not merely the human mind at work, it is God-Mind comprehending itself at an Absolute level.

Consciousness can create heaven and hell experiences.

Because that's what you need to appeal to normies and grab hold of their minds. If Buddhism is a gourmet burger, Christianity is McDonalds. And actual awakening is a wild ox walking around in the forest.

I have never done kale smoothies. Hypothyroidism has little to do with that. There is no guarantee whatsoever that your grass fed pasture raised organic cow is not filled with toxins and heavy metals from the food and water it consumes. That grass is probably watered with the cheapest polluted water and sprayed with pesticides which all gets filtered by the cow's liver and goes straight into you. And you're paying $50/bottle for that. Consuming organ meat is a terrible gamble.

It wasn't really an expression of empathy so much as a pointing out of facts about the psychology of homeless folk. It's just a mistake to think of homeless people as normal people who just need to hustle more.

Enough

You are everyone here, so you're doing this to yourself. You are fooling yourself to construct the dream you call your life. If you weren't doing this you couldn't be human.

Cause I am God. No. Absolute is Absolute. You are the one here bullshitting in circles. Except you are denying and resisting suffering now. Notice your bias against suffering. This is not the highest Love. The highest Love would not seek to escape suffering since suffering is an important and valid part of consciousness. God created suffering for good reason. Preoccupation with eliminating suffering is not a good thing.

A mild dose of psychedelic is more effective than alcohol. Although I encourage gaming sober.

Both should plug as vaping won't last long enough.

It became a lot more corrupt in the West due to more seeking of power and hierarchy.

This assumes the person is very healthy and conscious.

I was the serious type who didn't put with human bullshit and games. I told you, her friends cockblocked her. Doesn't matter how hot you are or how good your game is when friends are committed to cockblocking. A girl is not going to go fuck a guy against all her friends. This makes her the town slut. If cockblocks didn't exist the human population would be 20 billion right now.

If you want the craziest sex imaginable, have sex on 5-MeO-MALT or 5-MeO-MIPT.

Absolute Truth is absolutely true. So it doesn't get realer than that. It's realer than real. It's ABSOLUTE. YOU. ARE. ABSOLUTE. LOVE. This is the pinnacle of reality. The problem is realizing it.

Being IS identity! You can't be without identity. This is silly. If you are emptiness/formless/void -- that is your identity. But the point is, if you are feeling pain, that pain is part of your Absolute Identity. If you are trying to tell yourself, "I am not this pain" you are not being conscious/truthful. You are creating division in your own Mind. It is more conscious and truthful to say, "I am this pain as well as everything else". If pain is arising, you ARE that pain. There is no way around this. Of course you can train yourself to stomach the pain or even to just tune it out of your awareness. You could also train yourself to love pain and even get a twisted joy out of it.
