Certainly better than having Don Beck trademark strike and delete my Turquoise video.

You might as well ask, "Is my dog headed for death?"

No. This will not happen. Stop making up excuses for not talking to girls. If you talk to 1000 girls, you'll see dozens of them will be interested in sleeping with you at the very least. Most girls are not as picky as you think. You just need to get a few of the basics down and at least 10%-20% of girls will start getting attracted. Of course you won't be able to close most of them simply for logistical reasons.

Yup I mean... the most spiritual people don't even do meditation or self-inquiry. They simply have spontaneous awakenings out of the blue. I have met people who were born awake. I know people who have higher states of consciousness as children then you do on DMT. I know people who can see aliens and goblins and ghosts walking around the planet the same why you see birds flying around outside. You will never, ever reach their states of consciousness no matter how long you meditate. They are like a different species. They look human on the outside but they are not human on the inside. These are extreme outliers. There are people with perfect photographic memory or people who can tell you 6 digit prime numbers off the top of their heads. There is no technique to achieve that. Ramana came out of the womb meditating -- effectively.

@28 cm unbuffed And you're taking these pics not out of ego but for health reasons?

That was the mystical experience! You silly goose. ALL experience is mystical experience -- if you stop taking it for granted.

This is a classic psychedelic effect. It's a sign of the loosening of consciousness into a more fluid, imaginative state. When I look at my couch pillow on LSD, I start to see a thousands eyes looking back at me. My consciousness first imagines them and then they materialize -- since physical objects are imaginary.

In the same way that 1 = 1 or A = A is tautological. Everything = Love. The end. If someone has to explain to you that 1 = 1, then the problem is you don't get it, and nothing can be done to fix that until you get it.

Do whatever you want. Just be honest with yourself why you're doing it. I'm not gonna play games with you guys about who is and isn't using roids. Bottom line is they can lie to you and you'd never know. I just assume every pro is using them and I'll be more right than wrong. I will certainly NOT be giving them the benefit of the doubt. They don't deserve it. There is no way you're going to maintain that low level of body fat without extreme, unhealthy, and unsustainable measures. To suggest otherwise is highly deceptive to newbies and wannabes. You are not going to look like that, so stop even thinking about it. And the only reason you're thinking about it is because it feeds your ego. I don't care if you build muscles. Just be honest with yourself about why you're doing it.

Of course. This why lots of kids are being born with autism, ADD, and other such problems.

God simply IS Love. It is not a mistake that God cannot be something else. God must be absolutely tautological. There is no option for it to be otherwise, which is what makes it so amazing and powerful.

You really need to stop citing 1 in a 100 million genetic spiritual freaks as your baseline for how spirituality works. What works for Ramana will not work for the typical person. I have yet to meet a person who is deeply awake from self-inquiry. Perhaps a few masters who were already exceptionally spiritually gifted to begin with. The trick is not in your technique, its in your baseline state of consciousness. When your state of consciousness is correct, the technique is barely needed and takes little effort. When your state of consciousness is off, you can self-inquire for 40 years and get nowhere.

Because it is way too threatening. Serious growth requires truth, and truth undermines all social institutions and holders of power. You can't even get Kansas to teach evolution. Never mind something like mindfulness.

The whole point of reality TV shows is to push your buttons and rile up your ego. It is designed for chimps.

The most important thing for you is to move out of the country by any means possible. I would focus all my energy to hatch a long-term plan to move out, and then work towards that every day. You will immediately start to feel hopeful. Find some excuse/reason to move out: work, business, university, etc. If you develop serious skills in something valuable you should be able to find work abroad and move out. Work on marketable and high-value skills.

Anyone? Cause it's in the hopper.

God is too staggering to fit your simplistic little logical schemes. Infinity is a fucked up thing and your human mind will not even come close to making sense of it.

Treating all of mankind as a holon is not some crazy idea. All of mankind has one common ancestor. Basic evolutionary theory treats man as a holon regardless of what island they live on. Like I said, it's a matter of your perspective. I jump to relativity because it's a deep feature of all these problems and debates. Once you really grasp relativity you will stop this kind of silly hairsplitting. You'll just be at peace knowing it's all a matter of relative perspective. Grasp so deeply that it's all relative that your mind just shuts up and sits in silence.

This is fake stuff that you will not sustain, and it is OBVIOUSLY done purely for the ego. What do you think all those tattoos are? Ego And that dude is on HGH and steroids to look that cut. Basically you can assume that every professional gym rat is on steroids. It's just a scam to sell you wannabes a fantasy. Even Joe Rogan is on HGH and God knows what other drugs. It's all fake shit. The whole industry is designed to prey on insecure men's egos. Ego. Ego. Ego. Ego. Ego. That's what these people are posing for. They sell you these poses because you think it will make girls like you. But the truth is, deep down you hate yourself and you suck with girls for much deeper reasons.

Of course that's the end goal. The challenge is how to get there. You cannot tell an inexperienced virgin to "just BE attractive". RSD has always taught to "just BE attractive", but they give you practical ways to work towards that if you suck. And almost all of us start out sucking real bad. When you are a newbie you gotta be a serious try-hard. It won't look natural. But over time it will become natural.

Why do we need two parallel threads about this issue?

Possible, but not likely. And even if you do it, it probably won't be a deep realization. The first time it happened to be on a meditation retreat, sober, I realized the divine, but I did not realize I was God. That came much later.

Of course he will not agree that his version of good is ego. But that's his ego talking. The point is that Good is an Absolute which cannot be defined and it has nothing to do with human ideas of what is good. Human ideas of what is good is ego. Absolute Good is when you realize that even the Holocaust was good. And JP is not willing to go there. Whatever his ideas of good are, they will be limited and egoic. Absolute Good is an extremely radical thing that an ego cannot handle. Absolute Good is EVERTYHING: sex, money, family, and even murder. See, if I ask JP if Stalin is Absolute Good, he will say No! And he is wrong. However you want to define it. The definitions of holons are always relative and flexible. I would challenge you on this. Your notion of constraint is too narrow and limited. Even uncontacted tribes are part of larger society -- even if they don't know it -- because larger society works around those tribes not to disturb them (or it disturbs them). An island is still part of an ecosystem and it won't stay an island forever. Again, this will be relative to how you wish to draw your boundaries and what kind of perspective you wish to take.

It's not that easy. You must concentrate like a motherfucker until your state changes. You will not get anywhere without insane concentration.
