@aurum You beat me to it. Was gonna post on blog soon. Yeah, he has some good exposes. I'm gonna do a video in the future about self-industry dirty secrets.

This is the error right here. Selfishness is not limited to that. Selfishness is anything you do to survival the self. For example, eating food is selfish.

Well, that's cause you're communists. Biofilms can be disrupted with digestive enzyme supplements. This is just dumb because elemental diet definietely kills SIBO in 80% of cases. Fasting is just a stronger version of that.

@zeroISinfinity Stop making this personal. This topic is not about her.

Not true. People have cured SIBO with water fasting. It is not guaranteed, but it should have a pretty high success rate. It's just rarely done because a 14 day water fast is not easy to do. That's the whole point, to reset your gut. You can build it back up with probiotics after the fast is done. Well, that's just wrong. Bacteria dies after about 10 days. That's why elemental diets are used. You could try an elemental diet. It is costly though. About $800 for 14 days of elemental food powder. The whole point of an elemental diet is to starve out all bacteria, good and bad. Then rebuild with probiotics. Elemental diet seems to work for about 80% of people if done for 2 weeks. Goes up to 85% if done for 3 weeks. This is much easier than a fast, but you'll be spending $800 and you won't get the full healing benefits of a long fast. That's too short. It takes about 10 days for bacteria to die off, and to be safe you'd want to go 14. The key is to kill everything in the gut and start with a clean slate. If you leave it half-dead, that's no good. Fasting also has many other healing benefits that go beyond starving out bacteria. 14 days should give your gut time to repair and heal itself like never before in your life. It did not work for me at all. But it works for many people. Seems like 60%ish. Rifaximine is also ridiculously expensive. About $3000 in the US. You can order from Canada/India for $200-300, but it takes a month to arrive. You could also try to get free samples from your doctor. If he's nice he'll give you a 2 week supply. But samples are not always available.

Hmmmmm... That might have lots of heavy metals in it. Not sure. They are tasty.

Obviously rice, oats, polenta, and quinoa have no gluten, so they are much better than wheat. White long-grain rice seems to be one of the best grains, if you're looking for quick and cheap calories.

Single is always easiest. But single women are rare. Groups of 2-3 requires more confidence and skill. But they are more common. During the daytime I would only approach single unless you got a wing. During the nighttime at clubs and bars you can approach sets, although realistically you need a wing to do that effectively. The logistics of it are just awful. Not easy to pry a girl away from her friends. Especially a 2-set. It's actually easier to hit on large groups of 5+ where you can pry her away without the rest noticing.

Very good. Namaste

@infinitelovegodetc Tell us more about your method, your practices, and what you ultimately realized. What is your age and what was your previous level of development/spiritual work?

No, you definitely want to be doing some practices during research. Start and build up the most essential practices and keep doing research and developing a plan for future practices you want to implement. By rigorous I don't mean length of time or how many days in a row you do it. I mean, when you are doing it, do it strictly so that your mind is not lost in daydreaming.

Simply not true. There are states of consciousness that are so devoid of ego -- which you have not even accessed yet -- in which you could not even have the ability to recall your name. Just the fact that you can recall your name and where you were born is already proof of a non-fully egoless state. The bottom line is this: if you were fully conscious, you would not be able to live as a human, so just by the fact that you are walking around and doing stuff, I know you're not fully conscious. You can pretend all you want, but you're fooling yourself.

You are not infinitely conscious. I guarantee it.

I've never said I have multiple girlfriends. You imagined that.

But that is a difficult achievement. Most people experience various mystical states of consciousness long before they achieve that. And even this thing you call "collapse of ego into pure non-dual state" is not a singular thing. There are many varieties of that. It's all way more complicated than people want to believe.

They aren't the same, but share similarities. There are hundreds of different states of awakened consciousness. So you're rolling the dice as to which one you get. Not all enlightened people have the same state either. Some have radically alien and different states and levels of consciousness. There really is no such thing as "enlightenment" as a singular thing. There are thousands of different off-shoots of it which are very challenging to understand and map because you'd have to experience them all and you basically can't.

Personally I'm doing a 14 day water fast. I'll talk about it on my blog soon. You should do stool, blood, and breath tests to accurately diagnose your condition. Once you know what exactly is the problem, then you can begin treatments. If you know for sure you have SIBO you must definitely go Low FODMAP or even No FODMAP. And you can try herbal antibiotics. If those don't help, you can try rifaximine prescription antibiotic. If that doesn't work, 14 day water fast.

Some people can tolerate it. Many cannot. There's nothing really good about it. It's basically empty calories and toxins. Wheat has a lot of pesticides in it and it is poorly digested by the gut because it was been so over-bred to be pest-resistant. The thing is, if you are young, you will feel like nothing can hurt you regardless of what shit you eat. Then, as you age it all catches up to you. When I was young I could eat wheat and drink 3 cokes a day without worries. Today I am paying for it. Optimizing your diet requires a very long-term view: decades. If you only consider how it makes you feed today, you will eat a lot of shit and still feel okay.

The devil's laughter is God's laughter. You pursue sexuality not irrationally, but for Love.

This is irrelevant. Even if Dems won every election, the situation would still be relative. Most Dems are pretty conservative relative to Europe and stage Yellow/Turquoise possibilities. Today's worst conservatives are still liberals compared to the Confederate plantation owners. See, 150 years ago, someone like Ben Shapiro would defend slave ownership as passionately as he defends his views today. So relatively speaking, Ben Shapiro is a crazy liberal today. And Islamists in the Middle East believe that all Americans, including the conservatives, are crazy liberals. In the Saudi Arabia Ben Shapiro might be executed for being too liberal and too tolerant.

@Preety_India Well, if you have a brain disorder, the most important move would be to cure that first. Otherwise you are fundamentally limited. Aside from that, the best way to learn writing is to pick a couple of your favorite authors -- whose writing style and articulation you most admire and aspire to be like -- and read their books sentence by sentence and start writing it out sentence by sentence to learn the structure. Then try writing out your own original sentences in that style. If you do that patiently and diligently you will adopt their writing style. You can combine multiple authors together into some original combination so that you don't come off as a copycat. It's actually a very simple process. Just a bit tedious.

No high consciousness person would be allowed within 100 miles of Washington DC. We barely were able to elect Biden, and you are complaining about high consciousness people not being there. You were born 200 years too early for that. Even the idea that someone like me could be elected already shows a deep flaw in your understanding of how these systems work. I have a better chance jumping to the moon with a pogo stick.

What kind of fish does a non-non-dualist order at the fish monger? A tuna

@Hulia Not a topic I care to get into.

@Origins Dude, enough derailing this thread with nonsense.
