Be careful taking unknown and brand new research chemicals: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Talk:MXiPr

It is not necessarily ego. Sounds to me like he is extremely strict and demands his students obey his extreme spiritual practices. And then to support those extreme practices he needs money of course. This is not necessarily ego, it could just be his very high standards for how to do spiritual work. Obviously has some extreme ideas about society collapsing and so forth. If you honestly believed that society will collapse into nuclear war within the next 10 years, you would probably behave as he does. Although he's fooling himself if he thinks he'll be able to survive nuclear war in Costa Rica. His ashram only survives thanks to money pouring in from the outside world. He's basically running a monastery over there. Monasteries are radical and extreme places. I can see why he would not put up with shit from normies. A Zen monastery will also be very strict and extreme. These kinds of places are only suitable for extreme, hardcore spiritual seekers. I think the problem is that his students don't realize what they got themselves into when joining. Living in an ashram is not suitable for 99% of people.

Seems like it. Regardless of these cult accusations Shunya is woke as fuck. That's what makes the stories so tradgic.

@yannick If the stories about how much money he extracts from you guys is true, that is indeed outrageous and a deal-breaker.

Not God-realized. Just more beating around the bush, lost in mind.

You eliminate paradox by banned self-reference. Which is of course the whole game science plays: do science but no self-reflection.

Yeah, bad idea then. How about Shamanic Breathing? You seen my video on it? 60 mins of Shamanic Breathing will bring out all your inner demons.

Sounds to me like if you socialized a lot you could change many of those weak parts of yourself. This is what you need, not psychedelics: https://www.actualized.org/insights/high-status-communication

That's in the right direction. But more generally you shouldn't just limit your notion of love to people or creatures. -
@somegirl It is kinda ridickilous that you expect to be in a relatiinship with a guy and not have sex. This is like buying a cat and telling him there will be no litterbox and no pooing.

No Suffering should be minimized. But also don't forget how often sexy girl breaks a guy's heart and don't gives a fuck. Girls ain't angels.

Nothing quite like psychedelics to bring out your shadow. 2 years of therapy in 1 trip.

That will always be the case. Get used to it. You guys need to understand that I will not be bending over backwards to suit each one of your tastes and personal needs. Lower your expectations for what Actualized.org is. The expectations are getting way out of hand.

Good video. Pairs nicely with my video: https://www.actualized.org/articles/understanding-absolute-infinity-part-2

Cute, but a bit low-brow for this forum. Making fun of her is too easy. -

I didn't say chakras are bullshit. But they are imaginary. -

It is not subjective at all. Reality is Absolute Perfection when you look at with a high enough degree of consciousness, free from all of your biases and attachments. God did not make any mistakes. That's what's so astounding about awakening. It is unbelievably Good. -

Yes. Embodiment will always filter through your genetics, mind, personality type, character, etc. It will be different because how Truth is manifested very much depends on the structure of your mind. Truth is One, but how it gets manifest can vary enormously. Not necessarily. There will not be any simple formulas for this kind of thing. People simply have very different personalities and minds. The complexity of variables is staggering. Yes No Awakening will make your innate character and personality stand out more. You will be more "you" than ever. You will be more authentic and unique as a character. For example, as I had awakenings I noticed they actually made me less nicer and less outwardly cheery because I realized those were masks I wore for much of my life so that people like me. So I actually became more authentically me, but at the cost of people perhaps liking me less because I no longer wear the masks they want. You stop giving a fuck about pleasing other humans. Of course some humans will not like this, because they like to be pleased. The bottom line is, just be true to yourself and let the chips fall where they will. -
It's just to say that your mind is not infallible. You might as well ask why no human live has been immune to making a mistake.

@Derek White Your view on this matter is overly-simplistic and naive. Gain more experience actually doing the work and you will make some new distinctions.

So? I would rather have partial understanding of Hitler than no understanding. But also, there is such a thing as Total Understanding too. Understanding does always have to be partial. If they are the same, then why are you worried about my embodiment? Sure But God is not the only issue at stake in this discussion. There is much else to understand about life. And not all of it needs to be embodied. Consider the possibility that I simply value understanding for its own sake, and you don't. It's like I'm telling you that I enjoy chocolate ice cream and you're telling me, "Something is wrong with you. You shouldn't enjoy it."

I was subtly alluding to there being something higher than your kunadilini awakening. But I will not try to prove it you. -
Leo Gura replied to Mh1781's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Because it is necessary. You just lack the consciousness and intelligence to see the necessity of children dying. Everything that exists is absolutely necessary and could not be otherwise. Reality is Absolute Perfection. The only problem is that your vision is clouded. -

Don't even take my word. Of course, but that's AFTER you deal with horror of it. Personally, I love it! But if you're worried about solipsism being true, you probably won't love it so much. I don't necessarily love anyone any more in the the relative human sense. My love is very metaphysical and detached. Most people would not even consider it love. It's very subtle. It's a deep inner love for reality itself, not towards any particular person or thing. Imagine if you will that you just fell in love with the idea of reality itself. Be careful what you assume about me. I have not removed all my ego or its desires. Still plenty of that left. I have never made any promises or pretenses about "removing all my ego / desires". You guys often fall into the trap of assuming this about me, and it's very misleading. You will be disappointed. The only different between me and you is that I understand what reality is. You don't. That's all. This understanding does not make me some magical special extra-good person. You will find plenty of humans who don't know anything about reality and yet are nicer and kinder that I am. I am a bit of a jerk, actually. I am not too empathetic and I don't care very much about people's personal feelings. Mostly all I care about is understanding reality. You may find this difficult to relate to. How can it be explained? In many ways I look at the world just as you do. The only difference is that I understand what God is. You do not. Again, it's a very subtle shift in perception. Nothing crazy. Who says it needs to manifest in any way at all? Truth is Truth. Truth is not there to be used by you for anything. You just enjoy it. Maybe it helps you not take life too seriously. Mostly no different than before. I just also know in the back of my mind that they are projections of my own mind. Most of my interactions with humans are transactional. I am not kissing the mail man when he drops off my mail. In fact, I don't even know his name. Mostly I avoid humans. I'm not running around hugging everyone. I keep to myself and try to enjoy my life and work on my life purpose. I am not an extroverted person or a social person. Now, of course, I can still socialize if I choose to. But I have little desire to do so. You may be different. People have different personalities. It could, but your ideas of awakening are too fantastical. Mostly nothing happens. You have some awakening and then go about taking out the trash. It's not like fireworks are shooting out of my dick every day. -
