To answer your question go talk to a donkey about trigonometry. See how far you get. While you're at it, ask him about spirituality. The only one being slippery is you.

@WaveInTheOcean Your opinions of me are purely selfish and therefore shouldn't be trusted. Isn't this obvious? Why you make such a big fuss of it?

People here can hardly supply Turquoise examples, never mind Coral. There is little point creating lists of bad and misleading examples.

You don't need dick extension surgery if you are hung like Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights. Anyone doing professional sports is exceptionally genetically gifted. Such people are in the top 1% of the bell curve. If they weren't they would not even have a chance to compete. Merely the cost of entry into that arena is having top 1% genetics. This is true of all sports. Which is why all competitive sports are stupid. All you're doing is comparing genetic lottery numbers while telling yourself how good you are. You are only that good because you had the foundation to be that good. You didn't create the foundation, God gave it to you. This is true of all the world's greatest mystics. The dirty secret is that they didn't do it, they were given it. And Bashar is no exception to this. The idea that some technique will replace the right foundation is one of the greatest scams in human history. Foundation will always trump technique and effort.

There's no shortcut to Just do it I try to replace feelings of love I get from hearing approval with my own internal love generated by my spiritual connection to consciousness itself. In a sense, cut off external feelings of love and reground your sense of love directly in consciousness and being. Or you could reground love into the doing of your art/work. Also, I remind myself that people who praise me are usually not very conscious and only do so out of selfishness. If I was a rapist no one would praise me. And there is no reason why I deserve any more praise now than if I was a rapist. So people's praise of me has nothing to do with reality. It's just their self-biased projections -- which I have little interest in. My love cannot be grounded in the projections of others. That's very common. However, that can lead to a genuine passion. Or not. It depends. But it could be meaningful to them. Or it could not. If it is not, then obviously there's a problem. But if it becomes genuinely meaningful then it's less of a problem. Usually a passion is not something that raises much doubt in your mind. If you're very doubtful about it, then it probably isn't your passion. But if you just love the thing for no good reason -- that's a sign of genuine passion. You love it for its own sake -- that's passion. Indeed But there is also a kernel to the psyche's personality which does not change, it only gets obscured like the sun on a cloudy day. Again, it depends. The person could have stumbled into a second passion or even a higher passion. You can have multiple passions and you can also find higher passions than your existing ones. But it's also very common that a person will talk themselves out of truly pursing their passion (like art) because it is not as practical or "realistic" as something like business. They can also be interested in business, but deep down they know that business is not truly as exciting as art. But they are too scared to drop business and go all-in on art. So they talk themselves into settling for business. Becoming an artist requires way more courage than becoming a businessman.

Income != life purpose

Plugging is used a lot in the medical field.

Why IV inject a thing you can easily plug?

A good book is self-validating. If you need some authority figure to tell you that Mastery is a powerful book, you got some serious problems with your head. Stop seeking popular stuff. Popular stuff is designed for morons. Which is why it became popular. Because most people are morons.

They are not mutually exclusive. Do it peacefully through drugs

Watch my video on The Importance Of Balance In Personal Development.

To anyone reading this and learning about Turquoise, be warned that most of the examples in this thread are not Turquoise. Go read the SD book Turquoise section. Enlightened people are not automatically Turquoise. It is a dangerous mistake to assume so. Awakening and cognitive development are not the same thing. Examples of Turquoise are difficult to cite because A) they are quite rare, and B) the people citing them are themselves not Turquoise so they don't understand what they are citing.

That is genuine desire for truth. Don't dismiss curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat

1) Many programmers lead very unhealthy lifestyles. And they will pay for it long-term. 2) Some people have stronger energy/health just naturally and can work twice was much as other people. Genetics plays a big role. Do not just assume that all humans have the same stamina. Some people have way more stamina than others. And the food you eat over your lifetime greatly affects this too. 3) People who work that much often end up sick or burned out after 10 years.

Don't think of it as delusion, think of it as a Universal Mind dreaming. Minds dream. That's what it do.

It's not a matter of being on psychedelics, or how many times. It's a matter of being conscious of what reality is. You are not yet conscious of what it truly is. That's good, but that is not serious understanding. Yes, because you have not realized yet what Truth is. Your doubts are perfectly understandable, but ultimately silly and misguided. And unfortunately there is no way to get you to realize that until you have a deep awakening. Until then you may think that enlightenment could be a self-deception, but that is your self-deception.

I know what you're doing and why you're doing it. But what you don't understand yet is that Absolute Truth exists. You have not discovered some brilliant flaw in enlightenment. Haha. Absolute Truth cannot be doubted, since it is the source of your doubting ability.

@Peter-Andre I was gonna post that on my blog. Amazing hollow video.

Bureaucracy leads to devilry. Every spiritual teaching needs to take measures to forestall it becoming yet another organized religion.

No

The perfect strange loop: going to SeaWorld to see caged up animals makes you passionate about wanting to save them

Just don't forget that what's right is completely relative.

When you are highly conscious you become stronger at maintaining your values and not compromising on them. Integrity increases with consciousness. Don't confuse Love with pleasing people or feminine compassion. Sometimes Love is harsh and brutal, as in masculine compassion. A few weeks ago I got into a such an fight with my dentist because he refused to give me a refund for his incompetent work that they were ready to call the police on me. Hehe... I nearly knocked his door down. Walked away with a $1500 refund. Sometimes you gotta bash some doors in to get your way because some people do not understand anything else. And none of this is incompatible with Love or consciousness. Of course the door was dashed only as a last resort when other more conscious options were exhausted. Don't be afraid to bash a door down when the situation calls for it. Love and Consciousness != meekness

No politician in the US has pushed for literal forced vaccinations. The "force" in this case is just peer pressure and public shaming. And perhaps some businesses like airlines and stadiums might require it to give you services. Which I think is perfectly natural and healthy. Since most Covid deniers are sheep, I think they will eventually just conform and get the vaccines once everyone else does and there are no problems. These people just like to whine and make noise like pouting children. Eventually they will grow tired of pouting and come to the dinner table. Or die out
