@justfortoday Very nice! Sounds like some genuine insight happened.

The brain literally is imaginary. Learn to understand relativity and paradox. Your approach to my teachings is grossly inadequate to grasp the things being spoken of.

@DocWatts Yes indeed. Buckle up folks, the epistemic madness has only just begun. Things are going to get very "interesting" over the next few decades as stages Blue and Orange eat themselves alive.

All those kinds of pans are toxic junk. They all use chemical coatings which flake off into your food. Just because some marketing guy calls it "green" don't mean shit. Just get stainless steel. It's so much better.

The cult he built is just over the top absurd. His followers are so brain-dead even their laughing is fake. This is the problem of acting too saintly as a teacher. Your followers worship you even more and then they never awaken.

In light of recent events we are tightening the ship around here. I am looking for a few additional Mods who will specialize in looking for posts/users who are going through difficult emotional stuff and suicidal thoughts or dark nights of the soul, and helping to guide such people towards professional help. You are not going to be their therapist, but in this role you will be dealing with more emotional issues so I'm looking for people who are interested in that kind of work. This role requires high empathy for struggling people and lots of patience. Your primary job would be to monitor the forum for people who are seriously struggling, depressed, or suicidal, and helping to guide them towards some real-world treatment options because this forum is not sufficient for such hard cases. Such people need real-world support and your role would be to hold them over until they can get it. And also to report back to me any members who are in serious danger of suicide. Because as this forum continues we will inevitably run into such people here. It's not avoidable and we need this place to be safe from any crazy self-harm incidents. Also, look out for any people considering Mahasamadhi. We are not gonna be allowing that here. If this role sounds like it fits you, please PM me.

Common sense should tell you: if less then 0.0001% of the global population is enlightened, then enlightenment must be pretty fucking hard. The ones who say it's easy just got really fucking lucky in their life situation. They won the lottery.

It's an outer journey as much as inner. Inside and outside are One. I know extroverted awakened folk. Extroverts might have it easier to awaken because they are not stuck in their private world so much. It's easy to awaken when you don't think much.

Look man, I am not your doctor. You must research and test all those factors. You may not even have SIBO, you must test for it. Gut problems can be very complex with many different factors. I was just giving you some basic pointers. It's up to you to do the research and find solutions that work on your gut. Antibiotics will nuke all bacteria, good and bad alike. But your gut sounds already screwed up so you got little to lose. If you have bad bacteria overgrowth it absolutely needs to be killed off. And don't feed it with probiotics until you kill it off. It's also possible you got parasites or H Pylori. That also needs to be killed off.

It's not so simple.

Yoga/meditation rewires your brain chemistry. The trick is that you have to do it A LOT for it to work. Small effort is not enough. Rewiring your brain requires enormous patience. It's a long-term investment, similar to education.

Most doctors are idiots. Surprise! Welcome to life. Stop expecting anyone to heal you but yourself. Take extreme ownership over your health. Heal your SIBO yourself. You got a brain. Use it. Do the research, read all the books, find your own cure. I linked you a resource with basically all the answers. But are you smart enough to use it? It's time to stop playing games and get serious.

Go approach 5000 women and go on dates. The pain of women rejecting and dumping you for your weakness will make you strong. You are not going to learn this skillset other than through massive pain and rejection. Get rejected so much you stop caring. Die inside from all your mistakes. Rapport is built AFTER attraction already happened. You need to learn basic pickup theory. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Attraction theory is 100% known and proven. Just study it. There is zero mystery to what attracts women. No

This was explained in every Spiral stage video of mine. I have lists of how to move up to the next stage. No, not knowledge per se but understanding and perspective, Without a nuanced understanding you will be lost fighting other people and yourself. To live in 2nd Tier requires a very sophisticated understanding of how the mind and world works. This is not about accumulating a bunch of theory, it's about a deep contemplation of the mechanics of life and self. See my video on Nihilism where I address this very problem of relativism and aperspectival madness that you're going through. "Not knowing" is too easy. That's not good enough to survive effectively in life. You have no choice but to know, and Tier 2 requires very sophisticated sense-making. It's not impossible at all. Educate yourself. Read books. Over a decade you will develop a much richer understanding of the world and yourself. Also, this requires serious personal reflection and contemplation. You are citizen of a democracy (I assume), and you are citizen of the world. It is your duty as a conscious being to care about politics and social issues, even if you live in private. You are a social animal. Social issues are not optional. The only question is whether you will do them poorly or well. Part of Tier 2 is that you take much more responsibility for life and the world. You cannot just live "privately". That illusion flies out the window. It means what videos Yellow and Turquoise say. And what the Spiral Dyanmics book says. Read the book. Stop being lazy. At least read the Spiral Dynamics book. YES! Welcome to Tier 2, and welcome to life! Life is complex. Tier 2 is less that 1% of the world population. It is not easy to develop. Now you understand why. People are too lazy to do the development work or to even read a book. If you are not willing to read at least 100 books, then you can forget about Tier 2. You're not serious about this work then, and you're not serious about life. Tier 2 is NOT about reading books, but if you are unwilling to read 100 books then that shows you are not serious about understanding reality, and therefore you are doomed to be deluded. And as a deluded and ignorant person you will be in Tier 1. Spiral Dynamics is a complex model that requires at least 50 hours of study and research to begin to understand. It's not hard, but it does take work. None of this work is rocket science, but it does take a serious commitment to personal growth and mastery of life. - - - - - Your fundamental problem is lack of seriousness and engagement with life. If you don't change your attitude, your life will be wasted. Life works like this: you only get what you give. And right now it sounds like you're not interested in giving much. So you won't get much. If you want to change, make a commitment to life-long education and to reading at least 100 books from my book list. Now you can get somewhere. But still, that's less than 3% of the work necessary to really master life. That's just the first step. That merely opens the door. It takes about 5 years to move up 1 Spiral stage, and that assumes active, serious work at it. So it might take you 15 years of personal development work to reach Tier 2. Before you balk at this, ask yourself this: what else is there to do? You got something more important to do? Hehehe....

Sounds like they are as unhelpful as you. Be the change you wish to see. The way to get over it to realize that you can either live with hate/fear or with love. Which way do you want to live?

Bloating, gas, and burping are obvious signs of bacterial action. Sounds like your problem is not lack of acid but SIBO. You likely have a bacterial infection in your gut. Traditional doctors are basically clueless about treating SIBO, even gastro-entrologists. You need to do a SIBO breath test and research how SIBO works: https://www.reddit.com/r/SIBO/ Your microbiome is probably badly screwed up and needs correction. You need to look for a functional/holistic doctor who specializes in treating SIBO and knows what it is. SIBO also causes depression and many other negative mental effects. SIBO can also cause constipation and gastritis. To heal you need to go on a strict elimination diet, kill the SIBO off entirely with antibiotics, and then slowly rebuild your gut microbiome and reintroduce foods one at a time.

Women want a lovable jerk, who treats her like a princess but is willing to bash some skulls in elsewhere. To get attracted to you she needs to feel that you have the capacity to bash some skulls when called for. She wants that feeling of safety because she is not gonna bash skulls herself. She outsources that to you in exchange for sex.

Oh... you don't understand women. But I don't recommend going that far. Like I said, don't be abusive. You can be brash but still treat women well.

@DefinitelyNotARobot Practice embracing the brutality of survival. It's really not much different than a wolf hunting rabbits to feed his pups.

You can't work to embody something you don't even understand conceptually.

Stop asking women for advice on how to game them. That's your mistake. When it comes to deciding who she's gonna sleep with, her biological instincts will take over and she will not sleep with a nice guy. She wants to sleep with an alpha guy. Of course! Women like dick. They don't need a man with a pussy because they already got one. Attraction is very counter-intuitive. With that said, you can be strong and cocky without being mean or hurtful. That's the balance you should aim for: strong, assertive, cocky, playful, but also polite, respectful, and grounded in Love. You want to be a lovable jerk, not an abusive asshole. And this goes beyond women. In general, all people, men and women alike, respect strength, confidence, authority, leadership, and assertiveness. These are the qualities of a leader. And women want to sleep with leaders. You can't lead people effectively by being too nice and meek. Be a leader without being abusive or cruel. Temper yourself with Love.

This has nothing to do with spiritual practice.

You can do physics of any video game world and code whatever physics you want. There is nothing special about our physics. It's all relative. All the laws are imaginary and could be otherwise. Ask yourself why you take consistency vs inconsistency as proof of anything? Just because a thing is consistent does not make it any more real or true. A thing that melts and lasts 0.0001 seconds is as real as a thing that sticks around for 10 billion years. They change in your dreams, they change inside a virtual world, etc. Of course they work locally, within a narrow contect. These laws do not work inside a dream, for example. The only ultimate law is: consciousness is completely unlimited. INFINITY is the only law.

It is misleading to claim that Sweden has no capital gains tax.
