Nice example. Thanks for sharing.

Your title is very misleading.

@EnRoute Banned Be here to learn, not to spread your dogma.

Of course It's hard to say. Level of empathy, degree of self-reflection capacity, awareness of self-bias, ability to see multiple perspectives, degree of holism and systemic thinking, size of one's circle of concern, lack of fear, etc. The correlations are pretty significant. I explained this in my video: How Society Evolves

My YT audience is like 80%+ male. In general YT skews male a lot. And my speaking style will turn a lot of women off.

I am unusually explicit about such things. It's a controversial point to make explicit because it then alienates half your audience. So I can see someone like Daniel, who tries to be very careful, not want to explicit alienate anyone and therefore not stating it explicitly. To say that left is more conscious than right makes you seem like a partisan. It is a taboo thing to say because people assume only a biased partisan would say it. Which is of course a deep epistemic mistake because there is no reason why two worldviews should be equally conscious. In fact, the odds are against it. It's the same mistake as assuming that any two random people taken off the street are equal in intelligence. There is no reason why that would be the case.

With psychedelics this is true. Dream state is different. The degree of consciousness in a dream is less than normal life unless you are lucid dreaming. And even then it doesn't rise to the level of psychedelics.

@BipolarGrowth Very good. That's some fine work. Realize Infinite Love.

Fully understood

You can split your sense of self into literally infinite sub-selves. Imagine very human who has ever lived. Now notice that all those human selves are part of your self (since you are imagining them). Therefore every self is literally inside your own mind. God is just a case of infinite multiple personality disorder. You can split your consciousness into as many sub-parts as you want.

Very good! You're finally starting to understand. But there is much deeper. Yes, FEAR is the obstacle. Your fear of losing your mind is what prevents you from fully accessing God. And I don't mean that it is safe to do so. You might actually lose your mind. But that is the how this game works. Any fear you have of experiencing any state of consciousness must necessarily hold you back from fully realizing what you are, because you are all possible states of consciousness. So if you fear going insane, then you are resisting insanity. Maybe that's good for your survival on Earth, but it isn't the highest truth. So the only thing that's necessary for Truth is facing all your deepest fears. But I offer not safety guarantees if you choose to do so. You might kill yourself in the process, and it is this which you're really afraid of. And there is guarantee it won't happen. So now you can appreciate why accessing God is so challenging.

A) There are simply few women here. It's mostly guys. B) That's not the symmetry. The symmetry takes place at the level of wanting intimacy and so forth. That's is the woman's version of sex. And you ladies complain about it plenty.

YOU are one and the other. You guys need to drop this notion that there is no enlightenment because there is no one to become enlightened. There is YOU! YOU become enlightened! YOU ARE enlightenment.

@Insane butterfly It isn't a function of training. Some folks just born with bigger muscles. I wish I could take credit for my psychedelic prowess, but in all honesty I can't.

@BadHippie I have nothing more to add to the absurdity your own words reveal.

@I have no clue There's always more

What goes around comes around. Don't act all surprised when you get the same treatment from your man that you give me.

Imagine that 365 days of year. Congrats, now you know what it's like to be a man.

Not all Green is anti-vax. I would say that's a misguided Green. A healthy Green will be pro science and pro vax. Current gov response is Orange/Green. But not the excessive hippie anti-corpo Green. Biden's response is very correct and about as good as one can expect. Red was basically the Trump response: how do I make sure this pandemic doesn't make me look bad and lose power. Red will not give a damn about thousands of people dying as long as Red is safe. I don't see much difference. Except Yellow will see a more systemic bigger picture and perhaps better understand the epistemic challenges of the culture wars. Yellow is not going to magically make half the country stop being stupid. But we know the vaccines are highly effective. If Yellow cannot see that, Yellow is blind. It's all relative of course. The funny thing about that is, if you don't have truth, you won't have health, since false health isn't really health. One of the things about doing lots of this work is that you very quickly see through nonsense. None of this needs to be known. In the battlefield of life action demands to be taken with imperfect information. The problem is you are misusing skepticism without being aware that you are doing so. So you think you're being clever but you're not. You just lack a basic understanding of how life-threatening decisions get made. When your kid is about to stick his hand on a hot stove, you don't reason or skepticize, you slap his hand away. The state is the parent, the citizens are the children. Children without supervision get themselves killed.

What more technique do you need on top of taking mushrooms? A rain dance?

The reactions would be wildly different. Some people would realize God, some would go insane, and most would just shurg it off as a fun experience but nothing more.

1 scoop for me is full God-mode. It's sad to see most of ya'll need so many scoops.

When everyone around you is insane, sanity seems like insanity

Not in this lifetime, doc

I think you underestimate their convictions. They certainly will not do it. Because they believe doing it would hurt their community. There is no way you're going to convince my holistic doctor to take the Covid vaccine. He's drunk the Green Kool-Aid. And he's a real doctor who sees patients every day! And he's not a stupid doctor, he's one of the best doctors I've ever worked with. These problems of epistemology and perspective are way deeper than they first appear. Being a doctor is not good enough to avoid such problems.
