You are wrong that anything is wrong

Listened to one hour of it, got zero from it. These academics are like turtles. Be a cheeta, realize you are God and watch turtles no more

In the absolute sense you are free to hate your pain. The problem for you is that hate and resistance to pain just makes the pain worse. But you are free to torture yourself until you wise up. What you don't appreciate is that mankind is the cause of most of its own suffering. Education cannot come from the heavens, mankind has to bootstrap it from nothing. Everything has to be bootstrapped. This bootstrapping process is very challenging. Exactly, God cannot awaken unless God really wants to. So God struggles help itself. God put itself in this survival game.

Pretty much. Although for some people it could activate kundalini. But that is not its core purpose. If you boil spirituality down to just raising kundalini then you'll miss a lot of amazing stuff. Psychedelics are 1 tool in the toolbox.

A broken clock is right twice a day. I admit and embrace my bias for understanding. It is not a problem from my POV. It is my love and passion. Exactly! That's what my work is. My work is not designed to sooth your every need. You have to understand that teachings can have various purposes. As a serious philosopher my work cannot be simply practical. There is a higher purpose to what I do. You don't come to Albert Einstien and say, "What you say about space-time is interesting, but how does it help me feel better?"

@Gregp Don't just watch my videos, sit down and contemplate what was said. A single video of mine might require a year of contemplation. Keep in mind, this nihilism video is the result of 15 years of my contemplation and life experience. You could watch this videos for 15 years and still find new things in it. The stuff I talk about these days is very deep. Peole don't realize that. It will take most people years to realize how profound the ideas are.

I don't think anything will. He is too attached to his human views of reality. He would need to deconstruct his whole mind. He is lost in the labyrinth of his own mind. Being more conscious than 90% of people is nice, but also not nearly enough to be speaking about God or Love.

@Need Answers It's very simple: you are God dreaming up all of reality. The end. What you can dream is completely unlimited. As a newbie this will not help you. You need to do practices or psychedelics to become more conscious. If you want Truth you should be willing to burn every assumption to the ground. Including the assumption of other people.

@Gregp Rewatch the video cause you didn't get it.

Imagine knowing EVERYTHING in the Universe perfectly. Notice how unexciting that is after a while. Do not take my words too literally. These are abstract pointers to things. If you were God you would want to be human. And if you were human you would want to be God. The grass is always greener on the other side. The finite seeks the infinite, the infinite seeks the finite. Two sides of a coin.

Pathetic guy. Stay away! This is not good for him or you.

No. But also what you will realize if you become conscious enough is that chakras are imaginary. Being really conscious and raising your kundalini are distinct and seperate things. You can have one without the other.

The difference is that this monk clearly knew what he was doing and did it out of consciousness and pure mind.

His answer is pretty decent considering he isn't conscious that EVERYTHING is Love. His is a human sort of answer. Mine is a God sort of answer.

You can't understand the answer without a profound God-realization awakening. Just the fact that you have such a negative attitude about solpsism already tells me that you are not ready for God-realization. You need answers but your cup is full.

Consciousness. The end.

I think it's one of my best episodes.

If you are as conscious as that monk you don't need guidance from this forum. And if you are on this forum you aren't as conscious as that monk. So pick one.

Love is Nothing.

This is so stupid its leaves me in awe:

Your logic is your own. It does not apply to me or even most other people. Practically speaking people who seek the end of suffering will never reach it because it tends to be a selfish and needy motivation. If what you live for is to end suffering, I feel sorry for you. Your life is so narrow. And, btw, the best way to do that is to kill yourself. This is what the desire to end suffering usually leads to in practice. It rarely leads to God.

A lot worse. Fix it, or you might get cancer or other bad stuff.

Basically do the work to move up the Spiral Dynamics stages. As we all move up the stages stuff like racism, selfishness, hatred, judgment, violence, war, terrorism, corruption, etc will all dramatically reduce. We don't really need aliens to help us with that. I doubt they even can. Also, we need more material wealth and economic development. Much of the world is simply held back from developing themselves psychologically and spiritually because they lack basic safety and material conditions. You cannot self-actualize in a warzone. You don't have to re-edit it unless you want to.

To me understanding is more important than embodiment because you cannot pursue embodiment without correct understanding. It's like you're saying: the building is more important than the blueprint. But you cannot create a building without a blueprint. And the blueprint of the building is actually of a higher truth than the building itself. I don't care about the building as much as I care about the blueprint. Most people aren't like that. Most people just want the building and they don't care about the blueprint, because they are pretty selfish. This is not to say that embodiment is not important. It is important and I do care about it. But it is not the most important thing to me. Because you will always be able to understand way more than you will be able to embody. And not everything understood deserves embodiment. For example, I can understand Hitler without embodying him. Embodiment is a limited subset of pure understanding. If I place embodiment above understanding I would not understand many things because you simply don't have enough time to embody everything. Yes. I don't care about the end of suffering. I mean... I don't want to suffer. But ending it is not what excites me about life. My motivation for life is not negative, and I think people who place the end of suffering as their top priority are making a big mistake. To me, that is an act of selfishness. Obviously This is way too simplistic and reductionistic for my taste. Of course you can say all people seek Love. I have said that. But this is only at a very high level. My goal is not the end of suffering, although I don't mind if I get that one day. Of course, fulfillment. But so what? There are many ways to fulfill yourself.

Of course Owen teaches a lot more than just getting laid. But I was speaking about PUA as a whole. It is about getting laid. The rest is secondary in that community. Owen is a spiritual guy and he has lots of great ideas about more than getting laid, but he does not understand enlightenment. The bottom line is: don't go to a PUA to get enlightened, as he will badly mislead you in that area.
