Well, I had a good long conversation with Connor and we discussed plenty of traps involved in this work. Overall he's a lot more reasonable than he appears in his zany videos. His videos are overly dramatic for views and clicks. I'm not concerned for his mental health. He seems stable and happy and he has a pretty good grasp of nonduality. The only concern besides the image problems he creates for himself is some of the bold plans he has for teaching people awakening via Tantric sex, which I think is not gonna be effective and will be ripe for hurt/abuse. We've discussed the dangers and he's aware of my concerns but ultimately it's his business and it has nothing to do with what I teach. His and my styles and standards for teaching are very different. He likes a flamboyant and dramatic approach. I explained to him the dangers of that. He is open to feedback but also a firm believer in his approach and techniques. Connor's a decent guy from what I can tell and perhaps in 5 or 10 years he will make a solid teacher as his style matures. He's quite young and cocky so of course the maturity is still lacking, but that's to be expected for someone his age. We had little disagreement on the substance of nonduality or God. Our differences lie in style, attitude, and values. What he learned from me is not the style but some metaphysical and epistemic articulations which helped him make sense of his psychedelic awakening experiences. He was enjoyable to talk to. I wish him well.

Salvia produces a degree of no-self that is so radical it is terrifying. You will not be able to remember your own name or how you were born. If you want to truly understand madness, salvia is your gal

Stan Grof wrote entire books about "spiritual emergencies" and "spiritual crises". This is very, very common in the spiritual world. If you're going to practice hardcore spirituality you will almost certainly face a spiritual emergency at some point if you go deep enough. Many people don't go deep enough so they don't understand. And this is not exclusive to psychedelics. Hardcore meditation can be just as challenging. Smoke enough salvia and you'll have a spiritual emergency, I promise. Salvia will scare the living daylight out of you. It will wipe away your whole reality within seconds and you will cry for mommy like a little girl. And there will be no mercy with salvia. It will not treat you with kid gloves like some other psychedelics. Just as you're begging for mercy it will rip your face off.

Any state of consciousness radically beyond one's own will be perceived as madness.

No The kind of insight I'm talking about is a total state of awakening and infinite consciousness that you become. It's nothing that can ever be mistaken and it cannot be validated or invalidated by any other human. When you become infinitely conscious -- that's it. You are more conscious than any of these gurus and teachers. You are equally conscious to God. You ARE God. The end. All gurus and teachings become a joke. Become so conscious that every guru looks like an idiot. You are God. Don't let any fool convince you otherwise. They have no clue what God means. God is not merely no-self. And God is not merely some void. These are all inferior and reductionistic nondual understandings. They are not as high or as deep as God-realization. Do not stop until you hit INFINITY.

Not necessary. You can practice physical escalation at the club on random girls. Physical game is a huge part of learning game. Practice it for a few months at a busy nightclub and you'll get pretty good.

Bro, that's the entire point of alcohol.

Women, of course Women get upset when guys hurt women. But women don't give a fuck when women hurt guys. Self-bias 101 I'm not judging. Just saying how it tends to work. Of course guys also generally don't care when they hurt women. The not-caring is so profound that neither sex is even aware of it.

Go out and talk to girls. You're making this too complicated with your horrible inner game. The proper inner game is this: Stop thinking and GO OUT AND TALK TO GIRLS! I used to be very insecure. Until I started going out and hot girls slowly started to get attracted to me. That changed my inner game because you can't believe "I'm not good looking enough" once a hot girl is eager to suck your dick. If you talk to 100s of girls you will notice that a few of them really love you. It's a numbers game. If you believe you can't, then you can't. If you believe you can, then you can. Be ware of how your mind constructs reality.

This is of course correct. All experience is consciousness no matter how high or low. This is absurdly false. If this was true, no insight would be possible at all. And clearly insight is possible. Radical insight is possible. Do you understand what the Universe is? Don't let anyone tell you it's not possible. It is possible. Total omniscience is possible. I'm getting sick of debunking this neo-advaita horseshit.

If you look like an ogre then this is your time to shine!

Go talk to and date hot girls. Hot girl getting wet for you will reprogram your mind.

I'd say he exudes more the vibe of a sandy vagina

That is not a general case, that is a special case. Thoughts themselves are not ego. Inner dialogue is not ego either.

Follow your heart and consciousness.

Hehehe... Cute

Sex is a taboo topic in all societies. But last time I checked, all societies fuck like rabbits. In more conservative societies you just gotta keep it more concealed. Of course you CAN. But I don't. That's right, anything can be rationalized. I don't date non-single girls nor do I recommended it. Like I said, I was pushing the envelope in that case to see how game works. Sometimes in life you gotta push the envelope to see where the boundaries are. Dating is an arena which is full of collateral damage and hurt feelings. This is something to learn and accept about dating. Which is not to say you should use this as license to cheat and hurt people needlessly. One time I flirted with a married woman just to see how far she would go. Her husband was a well-known guy in Vegas. She went pretty far. Don't forget that not all women are angels.

Believe it or not, there is value to a conservative attitude towards life. Although of course there's much stupidity within American conservative ideology.

We got quality standards here. Sorry, not sorry.

Who told you to worry? Be good, if you want. Be bad if you want. Either way is Good. If you are looking for reasons to be good, you haven't understood goodness.

Not what you believe, but what you imagine.

Not so fast, grasshopper.

Girls are so predictable

It's not gonna work well with a mask. It may be wiser to invest this time working on some other area of your life, freeing up time for when the masks go away.

Exactly the kind of whiny entitlement I was talking about. Thanks for proving my point.
