  1. I challenge this commonly-held and unquestioned position. I think there are many Dems superior to her. I see her as a bit of a fake progressive. She has pretty deep conservative roots. She frequently sides with the right on certain issues. I don't think she has a deep grasp of things. I know folks like Jimmy Dore adore her (excuse the pun), but I think Jimmy Dore has lost the plot to the point of hurting the Democratic cause. It's like Dore has gone full-circle into Tucker Carlson. He's way too unreasonable and angry. In a sense, I think Biden is perfect right now. He's the most pragmatic and realistic of the bunch. A rabid progressive would not get much more done than Biden I think. Biden's moderate image is working very well for him. I think people underestimate Biden. He's all too easy to dismiss and mock, yet Biden can accomplish a lot of basic, practical stuff -- as he's currently on track to do. It won't be anything crazy socialist. But it will still be much welcomed. Biden can be trusted to do solid liberal governance. It's not flashy, but it works and it's badly needed and it lays the foundation for future progressive causes.
  2. Not from my end. But I will have to ask if he wishes to be named. We are still figuring out how things will work.
  3. If two things were truly identical, you could not distinguish one from the other, and they would literally become 1 thing. By definition, 2 requires some difference or distinction. In the case of red, at the least these two reds would have to differ in their x,y,z coordinates. It should be possible to have some qualities be identical though. Not in all ways, but in partial ways. For example, all protons have the same charge (I would assume).
  4. Then slow down. This is true. Try doing more nothing Seriously! Be careful not to go overboard with this work. You need to make room for rest, fun, and just giving your mind a break from constant and endless personal development. Many people on here are bullshitters, so don't take that too seriously. Some people here have done lots of work for years. And some people here are exceptionally spiritually gifted to begin with. This work is not the same for all people. Some people will have it much harder than others. That's okay. Don't be so concerned with where others are at. You can only do better than your old self. That's what matters. - - - - - - - Yes, generally speaking, becoming more conscious is hard. But my point is, don't make it harder than it needs to be. A lot of times you are making it extra hard by doing it wrong. So stay mindful to that. Sometimes you gotta take breaks and sometimes you gotta try doing it the opposite of how you've been doing it. Take a month off and do nothing. You might be surprised how much you grow from that. Efforting all the time is not really the best way. Ultimately you want to find effortless ways of doing this work. That is the ideal. If it feels too much like work then you're probably doing it wrong.
  5. If your goal is to lose weight you need to make permanent changes to your daily diet. If you forever eliminate the wrong foods from your diet, you will never have to worry about gaining weight ever again. And you don't have to starve. Cleaning up your diet is THE KEY to permanent and effortless weight loss. When you start eating healthy food and forever banish junk food, cravings become less of a thing. Overeating healthy whole food is basically impossible. Eat as much as you like. But bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc is not healthy food. Cut all that shit out. If you want to lose weight, cut out all grains and starches.
  6. Tulsi Gabbard -- Lol Bret Weinstein is smart in some ways, and silly in others. This is one example of his silliness. Tusli is not a good progressive candidate. She's regressive and conservative in many ways. Is Vaush's debate-lording really that effective? I think he mostly preaches to the choir. How many Nazi's does Vaush need to debate to prove that Nazism and white nationalism is a dumb idea? And how many of those debates do you need to hear in order to settle this case? You can engage of course, but also at some point the constant engagement of people with no intellectual integrity or interest in governing is just like arguing with a donkey. It becomes a waste of time. No one should be listening to Dan Crenshaw about how to govern. If you want to have a serious discussion on governing, let's have it. But let's not pretend these Fox News puppets care anything about that. A precondition for any serious political discussion must be 1) Intellectual integrity, 2) genuine interest in governing, and 3) historical literacy and honesty. Without these 3 things the discussion is a waste of time.
  7. I want to thank everyone who submitted their application for this job. In total I received 24 applications. A majority of them very solid and qualified people. However, I can only select 1. It was a difficult choice, so don't feel bad if I didn't pick you. It doesn't mean there was anything wrong with you or your application. Sometimes these things are just a coin toss when you have a dozen solid candidates. If the selected candidate doesn't work out, or the position opens up again, I might get in touch with you.
  8. To even take him seriously enough to rebut his logic is already too much of a concession. Such members of congress are simply gifters and morons. Like Matt Gaetz. Nothing they say should be taken seriously. Such people have no intellectual integrity, so trying to reason with them is like wrestling with a pig.
  9. @Gesundheit Banned Do not spread misinformation on this forum.
  10. Find what you're truly passionate about.
  11. @SQAAD One time I was standing in my bathroom and realized I am the faucet. You are literally everything that could ever exist. Everything you see and hear is you. No exceptions.
  12. I've had enough of these silly debunking the pandemic threads. If you want to debunk the pandemic, this forum is not for you. Go elsewhere and do that.
  13. But YOU are God. So if it's not held by you, it's not held at all. Right now you are holding that some God other than you is holding the Earth. But what you're missing is that it's YOU who's holding that some God is holding the Earth. That's what you're holding! And thus the Earth seems to exist for you as something solid and real beyond your mind. But those are just layers within your mind. You are assuming there exists someone "other" who can hold things for you. But there are no others, since you are Infinite. "Others" are what you're holding while imagining that they are holding something for you. Your mind is resisting understanding this because you must resist it in order to construct a reality with includes anyone other than you. Your mind is constantly in a process of constructing "others". You are sorta committed to that game. If you ever stop playing that game, all others will literally cease to exist. It's not so simple as others not existing. Others exist for you if you imagine they do. But if you stop imagining them, they will all cease to exist. Your core confusion is that you imagine that things can exist outside your imagination. Which is just a pure absurdity since your imagination is Infinite and Absolute.
  14. @Naked Paradox There is no satisfying answer to your question. Just carry on with the work and try to enjoy the process. Perhaps stop thinking of this work or awakening as some end-point you reach.
  15. It depends on what you're using your therapist for. You probably don't need some super advanced therapist for handling basic survival issues. It gets more problematic when you want to seriously transform yourself. There, an average therapist will probably not have a deep enough grasp of psychology, epistemology, and metaphysics to help you. Much of what therapy boils down to is just talking stuff out. This can be helpful regardless of level. Just having someone to voice your problems to can be helpful in making you more conscious of the dynamics at play within your own psyche.
  16. @Nyseto If you don't get the devilry of Trump then you should not be following my work.
  17. @Meditationdude Treat yourself with more kindness and love. Don't do this work as some 'must do' thing. Do it because you enjoy questioning reality and gaining deeper insight into life. Enjoy the process. Be patient. Slow down. Do it in a way that is enjoyable.
  18. @SQAAD Nothing exists outside your imagination of it. The Earth is just some shit you're imagining. Like a unicorn.
  19. @IamMystic Not yet.
  20. Death doesn't happen. It is imaginary. This is not correct and not radical enough. You didn't emerge out of nothing. Reality IS Nothing all the time. It is Nothing right now. It has always been Nothing. It will always be Nothing. Nothing is everything you see. You ARE inside of Nothing. You ARE Nothing. It always existed because it is Nothing and it has nowhere else to go.
  21. Nothing is closed.
  22. Lol While you're at it, maybe you should have never been born.
  23. Mind blown I can't believe that Australians use coins for dollars. Australia is truly the land of the weird
