@impulse9 Watch what you post on this forum or you will be banned.

This is a lesson for you about gaslighting. Lots of ignorant people will gaslight you in life. It is your job to stick to what you know is proper epistemology. A fear based, cynical epistemology cannot be proper. Be soveriegn. Respect your own authority. Honor your own wisdom. Do not let the paranoia of others worm into your mind.

Don't feed the trolls.

I was not referring to Kratom.

@Radu97 How old are you and what is your living situation? Are you able to support yourself?

Locked for low quality.

It works both ways. It is a mistake to think that only one causes the other. They are fundamentally entangled.

Mind is not a problem per se. The problem is when mind is used improperly in a self-biased manner. Surviving as a human requires thought. That's exactly why you have thoughts. If they weren't an important part of survival you wouldn't have them.

Dude, making a business around eating into your competitor's profit margins is a terrible business strategy because you just create a race to the bottom. And ironically it is this which leads to slave labor.

That was Charlie, not Ben. Doing podcasts and interviews is not what my work is about. I do that only as a side-show. But I know you guys like it. I won't be doing many of them. But you're in for a treat at the end of this month because I will be doing a serious, long interview with Curt Jaimungal on his TOE YT channel. You are not going to get a deeper interview than that anywhere, so if that doesn't satisfy you, nothing will.

This is a mistake in thinking. Improvement does not require negative motivation. You can love yourself and also love the process of growing yourself. Not because something is wrong, but because you just love growing and creating. You don't have to hate a thing to improve it.

@AdeptusPsychonautica It is amusing that you took my lastest dangers of psychedelics video as my acknowledging any delusion on my part. I said no such thing. All my spiritual and existential claims still stand. The delusional one is you who is so lost on your own stories and projections about my work that you read into my video something connected to you. This is ego 101. I don't make reactionary videos like you. I know this will sound crazy to you, but some people on YT are actually too busy making original content to care about what some reactionary is raving about. If you actually bothered to study my full body of work you would know that I have warned about the dangers of psychedelics from day 1. See my video: How To Use Psychedelics For Personal Develop. The reason for this latest video was to lay further safety guidelines for when I reveal the powerful new psychedelic I discovered. You got this silly idea that somehow I have not be safety conscious about psychedelics or spirituality, as if you have some monopoly on safety. But in fact the public record shows that I have always been extremely careful and responsible and urged safe of my audience. Just because you overlooked that to feed your cult leader narrative is not my problem. That's just bad reporting from you, as your vision has been clouded by your YT ego. I have never claimed to be a messiah. All I have claimed is that I am God and you are too. And of course that is the case. The only problem is that you aren't conscious of what you are. P.S. You have an unhealthy fixation with me. My work has nothing to do with me. If you were less focused on being a troll you might realize that. It is ironic that you rave about my delusions when your whole channel is an textbook of projection and ego-reaction. You are like a child throwing a tamper tantrum at the gates of Disneyland, too busy raving and whining to actually walk through the Gateless Gate. The reason I don't like corresponding with you is because I don't want to reward troll behavior and you show little interest in geuinely pursuing Truth. You are more interested in trolling for views or playing the psychonaut policeman. Play whatever games you want, I will just focus on doing my work, as I have for 8 years. My work speaks for itself, and so does yours. You deeply misunderstand spirituality, God, yourself, and the paranormal. Nothing more needs to be said.

I think you are misunderstanding the Buddhist notion of suffering. What it basically means is that chasing material conditions and positive states is dissatisfying because they never last. This does not mean you cannot meditate on the feeling of satisfaction itself. In fact, doing so is how you escape suffering. Bliss and joy can be reached this way. Now, you can counter by saying that that bliss won't be permanent. Of course it won't. But I never said to get attached to permanent bliss. And it is still far better than what most people are doing, which is chasing dopamine hits. Think of it this way: in every moment you only have one of two options: you can either be satisified or dissatisfied. Which will you be?

"Experience" is a metaphysically loaded, dualistic, materialistic, egoic notion. I have explained this plenty of times, especially in my episodes: What Is Perception? and What Is Truth?

You can realize what Truth is without reaching the highest levels of consciousness. Truth is not so hard to realize. You can do it with one solid trip if you set your intention and contemplate.

Don't count on it. Your best bet is to address the illness at the material level, since it likely has a material cause. Consciousness can help you cope with and see past the illness if you are unable to cure it materially. Do not make the mistake of trying to solve material problems using spiritual methods. Consciousness is not going to cure your broken leg. For that you go to a doctor.

Solution is simple: 1) Outlaw money in politics and lobbying. 2) Medicare For All & ban private health insurance. 3) Set price caps on drugs and/or have Fed manufacture generics.

Enlightenment is NOT an experience. It is Absolute Truth. You have no idea what that is. You've never encountered that in your life. All your ideas about what it is are wrong. Absolute Truth has nothing to do with listening to enlightened people. It doesn't matter what every person on the planet said or believed or experienced, Absolute Truth would still be absolutely true.

Notice how the right-wing astroturfs BS culture war issues like CRT:

@OBEler Find out for yourself what is true.

I understood him clearly the first time. I am talking about something deeper.

Don't ask me. Become conscious of what is absolutely true. Believing my stories is not going to help you. Take back your sovereignty.

All experience is Absolute Truth. If you're not conscious of this, you're not really awake. Forest creatures are as much a product of your mind as the Eiffle Tower. Don't get stuck on the content of consciousness. The content is irrelevant and it is always imaginary.

In practice you don't need to worry about it. As you reach higher levels of wokeness you can assess for yourself how much woker you wish to go. Obviously the highest levels of wokeness are not suitable for almost anyone. Only the hardest of the hardcore. This is also the beauty of psychedelics. They can give you a preview of how woke you could be, and if you even want that. So you can take wokeness out for a test drive without buying the car. And if you happen to love the car, then buy it. One of the greatest things psychedelics taught me is just how much I innately love consciousness.
