@Vision You obviously got SIBO. What is there to even discuss? The bottom line is you gotta kill that shit to zero.

No it isn't. You are saying misleading things and I don't sense that you know what God is. I said the things I said in my recent video precisely because no-self and enlightenment is not enough to realize God. I know many enlightened people, and few of them have realized God. You can argue with this all you want, but I have made my position clear and that is what I teach. If you don't like it, feel free to teach whatever you want to your people. Those few who some day realize what I have realized will understand why I stress what I stress and not something else. Realize what God is. The rest is childsplay.

If you know the material and you train yourself its not so hard. And I use outlines in some cases.

You should be able to clear that out with the antibiotics. Try doing 1 month of natural antibiotics, carnivore, and no probiotics. That should clear out a lot of stuff and end your bloating. Although there are no guarantees. Gut bacteria imbalances can be very challenging to fix, especially if you have some underlying health issues like auto-immunity.

@Flowerfaeiry Do you want to know how you created reality?

Usually a probiotic is not a good first option. It is safer to kill off the bad bacteria with antibotics, and then slowly add probiotics after your antibotics are done. Many probiotics contains prebiotics which will feed the bad bacteria. So you must avoid prebiotics until you kill them off. Doing a month of natural antibiotics is the best way to begin this process. But you have to take them seriously, 3x per day for at least a month.

Sounds like you got some imbalance in your gut bacteria which feeds on sugars and carbs. That's why carnivore helps, but also isn't enough because you gotta kill the bad bugs. Your doc can prescribe some antibiotics or you can use natural antibiotics over a month like Allicin, grapefruit seed extract, berberine, oregano oil, and others. Probiotics could help, but they could also make things worse. Depends. Getting a SIBO breath test will tell you if you got SIBO, which is likely.

God is no-self. God is Infinite Self. There is no contradiction here at all. Nothing = Infinity BUT!!! Just because you realize no-self does not mean you realize God/Infinity. It's easier to realize no-self than it is to realize God/Infinity. And there are many degrees of realizing God/Infinity. I don't know why you guys are so confused about these matters since this is basic nondual theory. There is nothing controversial here.

You should be going out 3-4 nights a week for at least a year, every week, with the goal of doing 1000-5000 approaches. This is what is realistically takes to get results.

Stop overthinking and go talk to girls. You will discover the answers as you try to attract them.

Stop making these kind of threads.

@The Mystical Man You are making it into a false choice. You can do both. What I stress is pure consciousness and understanding, because that's what matters most to me. Everything else is secondary. You can be at peace and all that, but still not be fully conscious.

No The mind's capacity for denial is infinite. The key is to be conscious of what you're doing. No. God is a tautology. There is no possibility of you not being God. God-realization is not a concept. God-realization is not a function of argument. Well, what you're missing is that Truth is a far deeper thing than language, logic, argument, or proof. That is because you judge me by my outside behavior and also because you cannot know the counterfactual of how I would have been without them. Hehehe... I have a deeper understanding of consciousness and reality than Zen teachers with 40 years of full-time meditation. But you don't understand that. You keep waiting for me to act spiritual for you, like some Eckhart Tolle. What you don't know though is how I act has nothing to do with what I have become conscious of. Again, these are human games you play. As far as playing the human spiritual game, I'm not so impressive -- but that's all you see and care about. There is no way I could teach what I teach without all the psychedelics I've taken. Even with 40 years of practice I would not be able to teach at my current level.

With Ralston it's like squeezing tears from a stone

A better example would be 3D rendered child porn. It doesn't hurt any children. But people will still hate it.

Certainly not. You are not conscious of what Love is. - - - - - Actually I disagree with this Vipassana approach. It's too reductionistic. I understand what you are saying: you can deconstruct experience into discrete sensations and so forth as Vipassana loves to do, and this can be very useful and liberating. But this is not the same thing as a holistic consciousness of what things are. It's the spiritual equivalent of saying that the physical universe is nothing more than atoms. And this not correct. There is an understanding beyond the sum of its parts. Which is precisely why Vipassana people are not God-realized. They don't know what God is because you cannot know God by breaking experience down into atoms. I would further say that you cannot know what Consciousness is that way either. There is a holistic infinite intelligence to Consciousness which is not any of its parts. God is not any one sensation, nor can it be said to be just another experience among all the other experiences, like a table or a dog. It is sort of like one who cannot recognize a human as a human because one insists on only seeing it as a bunch of cells. And what I'm pointing out is that something very important is missed in that approach. In fact, THE most important thing is missed. The goal should not be to atomize consciousness, but rather to interconnect it all infinitely to reach the highest understanding. People like Shinzen Young, who spent 40 years in Vipassana deconstructing sensations are not God-realized. I questioned him very carefully. He does not understand what God is. He's a sweet and beautiful man, but God-realized he is not, and I don't want you to get trapped in that way. People like Daniel Ingram also do not understand what God is -- even though Ingram has extraordinary technical meditative skill. Technical meditative skill is not good enough. Losing the ego is also not enough. What's missing is a holistic universal comprehension achieved by Infinite Mind. The Universe can grasp itself using its own Infinite Intelligence. And Intelligence is not any one sensation so you will never find it if you insist on only looking at individual sensations. It is the classic problem of missing the forest for the trees. Vipassana is like studying trees with a microscope and never seeing the forest.

I don't buy those studies. I go by how I feel. I don't need some academic to tell me what to do with my dick.

Speak for yourself. Not all of us are as depraved as you. I can watch normal porn in moderation and enjoy it in many ways, including aesthetic and spiritual. If you can't, that's not my problem. I feel sorry for ya.

@amorri1010 Why do you need another post? You started this. So flesh it out. We await with open ears.

What's scary is that I don't know what's more true, that, or him just being conservative. Is there even a difference?

Of course. I have always equated God = Nothingness = Everything = Love = Infinity = Truth = Absolute = One = Many = You = Consciousness There are many facets to this thing and in the end they are all equate into a perfect Unity. Yes. The y axis is actually a loop. Once you go low enough you start to move up. And once you move up enough you start to move down.

They have removed many blindspots. And? You got a problem with that? I am well aware of how cessation is described by Ingram and others. My counter-point is: Ingram is not God-realized. He is not conscious of what God is, despite all his cessations. And that is exactly why I stress God-realization instead of cessation or any other Buddhist thing. There is no Ingram, there is no Buddha, there is no cessation. You're imaging all that shit right now to keep yourself inside the dream. Yeah, well, all that is something you (God) are imagining to keep yourself asleep. This is your dream. I have considered it a lot, and concluded that God-realization is what is most important for you to realize. Which is why I teach it. I would counter that these respected teachers are just an illusion you imagined to keep yourself asleep. You are God. End of story. Anything you tell me otherwise is not serious to me. You will only appreciate what I am saying when you realize you are God. You can't let go of God because God is what you are. You simply haven't realized that you are God, or what God even means. You use that word but you don't understand what is means. You are God playing a game of denying that you are God. And you play this game very well. But I know the game you play better than you, so no amount of your logic will trick me. I've seen through the game. The only issue here is that you have not.

When, you are God, so you can understand yourself. A human cannot understand God. But God can understand God. And that's how it must be done. Depends on how you define "fool yourself". But obviously you can do more and more spiritual work until the ego dissolves more and more. Will psychedelics alone be enough to fully dissolve the ego? I would not count on it. You have to put in serious work outside your trips.

And I have never denied that. That downward path to emptiness, as I call it, has validity and usefulness. Obviously Buddhists are doing something right with their practices. Namely what they're doing is dissolving the mind/ego. This is important to do, up to a point. But I would still say that what's missing there is God-realization and Love. That downward path has a reductionistic bias. There is a tendency to reduce everything down to no-mind, and this is not something I'm on board with. I see value in it, but it is not the full path and it is not the highest realization as far as I'm concerned. I see far too many Buddhist and Neo-advaita types who have no clue what God is and no clue what Love is, and even worse, denying the reality of both, which to me is an abysmal failure. They have reduced consciousness so far down that they lost the most important part. These people are not as conscious as they could be, even if their ego is very dissolved. I reject the notion of "mystical experiences". All experience of any kind is Absolute Truth. All states are Absolute Truth. God-realization and Love is not merely "a mystical experience". That kind of dismissive attitude is what I challenge. Likewise I challenge dismissive attitudes towards the insights revealed by psychedelics. As if psychedelic insights are not the real deal.
