It is important but the more you dwell on it the more you will hate life. You need to survive while floating above survival. Like a butterfly rather than a pig

This path is about Love and Beauty. You need to keep regrounding yourself in the Beauty of Consciousness. Stop making everything so personal. If you make it all about you, you will suffer. Move away from the stink of humanness.

It's not even close to the full God state, but I can recognize God in any state. It's more a question of degree And the degree is important. Especially if you've never hit the peak degrees. A traditional meditator cannot really appreciate what God is. They might have a taste of it, but not the full scale reveal. It's like the difference between seeing a vagina from 1000 ft away vs sticking your head inside one.

You make some great and nuanced points. I appreciate the serious effort. However, from everything I understand, true communism and socialism will never work in our lifetimes because people are far too selfish and grossly underdeveloped. But I think it could work 100+ years from now, especially if we start to modify our genetics and brains. The problem is that no amount of reading Marx or whomever will address this root issue. My fundamental issue with Marxism is that it gets human psychology and spiritual development wrong, and therefore it becomes unviable in the real world. If you have some points to rebutt my core issue, feel free to share them here. I am totally open to being proven wrong on this. Unfortunately I can't see a way you will wiggle you way out of the selfishness problem. The benefit that capitalism has, despite all its flaws, is that it works. The same cannot be said for Marxism. There has never been a viable real-world, mass scale implementation of it. This should tell you something. It is because of this that I advocate for social democracy. We know it works. It's hard to go wrong with it. And it is the next natural evolutionary step. The bruden of proof is on the Marxist to show that Marxism can be viable in the real world. Show us that it works at the level of psychology and ego development. Explain why all the tried implementations failed. The problem with reading old texts is that they do not factor in or explain all the failed implementations of Marxism. This is why reading Marx will not help. If Marx saw how Marxism was implemented over the last century he might reject Marxism himself. The best moderm Marxist I know is Richard Wolff, and unfortunately I cam see flaws even in his rather modest ideas of democracy at the workplace and profit as exploitation. Although I generally support democracy at the workplace. But it is not clear how much democracy the current workplace can handle before it breaks down.

No

It sure helps to realize that everyone you fuck is yourself. Psychedelics.

Do not confuse Absolute Truth with permanence of state. All states are Absolute Truth. Never forget: There can only be ONE thing. That ONE thing must be Absolute Truth regardless of what form or shape it takes or how long it lasts. And that thing must be absolutely unlimited and self-created. And it must love itself.

@dflores321 Good for you then.

1) You still need to make yourself look dapper and stylish. For a man, looking attractive includes how you groom, dress, and carry yourself. I am not giving you a license to be a disgusting, smelly, hairy goblin in rags. 2) With shitty game not only will you not get laid, women will even call security on you. Good game is crucial. But you develop that as you approach those 1000. Nobody starts with good game. If you go out every week, your game skills will double every 6 months.

I attracted them before I started Actualized.org You think I am this well-known public figure. The reality is, 99.9999% of people have no idea who I am. My celebrity status is virtually zero. Sure, I could leverage my business to attract girls if I really wanted to. But I basically haven't done so. You certainly don't need to do so to attract hot girls. Although it would be nice if you got off your ass and built a decent business and stopped making excuses. If the only way you can attract hot women is by building a successful business, then DO IT! This is a valid mating strategy. That's like killing two birds with one stone.

Look man, you're sorta stuck punching yourself in the face. At some point you will suffer enough from that and you'll stop. But until then you will suffer. It would be nice if you could just walk outside and enjoy the beautiful day.

Yes, of course. Luckily I'm conscious that I'm God right now. I am not in full God mode, but I don't need to be. All modes are God and the highest mode cannot be sustained by a human anyway. Or so you imagine

So that life could be possible. There cannot be life without a very strong sense of "reality". So ask yourself this: if you were God, and you could create life, but life required you to create a nearly inescapable illusion, would you do it? Or would you say, "Fuck life. No life for anyone. Life is evil." God has made it easy to awaken. That's why God imagined psychedelics The problem is you're too afraid to awaken. That's what makes it difficult. You don't want it. You want to play games. And so your wish is granted. If God forced awakening upon you God would be a devil. You wouldn't wish awakening to be forced upon your worst enemy unless he really wanted it and was ready to handle it. It would be like dropping a metric ton of gold on someone's head. It sounds good only to the naive fool.

Yes, it makes little difference to me. You guys here have a basic problem with being able to enjoy a thing in moderation. It is a characteristic of the wise to be able to partake in an addictive thing with moderation without getting addicted. If you were truly balanced, you would be able to do a shot of heroin and go about your day without attachment. The fact that you think and struggle about porn and no-fap so much already betrays your attachment to it, if only in your mind. If the mere sight of some porn causes you to go into a tailspin, how conscious and developed are you, really? You're fragile as an icicle. And if me talking about enjoying some porn disturbs your mind and makes you all judgmental, you're even more fragile than that. See how fragile you are?

The solution to serious spiritual turmoil is to ground yourself in the beauty of life. It's all about beauty. You're just missing the beauty. There's nothing else to do but to appreciate the beauty of consciousness. Life is an Art. Not a chore. When you make it a chore, you suffer.

No If it's not present, it is imaginary. But also, if it is present, it's also imaginary! You can't escape this. You imagine so, thereby creating that particular dream. Of course. Because you got a reality to construct. Don't let me get in your way

Boiling everything down to DMT is rather silly. There are 100s of important neurotransmitters at work and they all probably vary due to your genetics.

Dude, don't make it such a chore. It's beautiful thing. Enjoy becoming conscious. You guys are such kill-joys about it. You overlook the infinite Beauty of it all. Rule #1 of spiritual work: ENJOY IT! Or don't. Up to you.

By realizing that love is you. Realize you're me.

Plot twist: cessation itself is something you're imagining right now. It never happened. You guys don't appreciate how fucked up this gets. Everything you think happened to you, never happened. Every single one of your prior awakenings is imaginary and designed to keep you from realizing you are God right now. You are constructing a Buddhist dream when you tell yourself, "I went to a Buddhist retreat last year. I meditated for 10 days, and I had a cessation. I realized the Buddha's highest teaching." << THAT is the Buddhist dream! You are not God-realized. Deny it all you want. That's exactly what you do to maintain your dream.

Stumbled upon this comment today and found it pretty cool:

Again, you take my words too literally. Words are just pointers. God is outside time and not contrained by it. So how it works is, God sits there for literally eternity, then it dreams up some finite dream, which includes time and space. Time and space are baked into the dream. If you ask, But when does God start the dream? The answer is NOW! The dream has no start, really. You imagine the dream's start and end. That's what a dream is. Dreams do not happen across time. Dreams imagine a past and future and time. If you say, But Leo this is illogical!, logic is part of the dream. God is not limited by human logic.

Finding a wingman is the key. If you find a good wingman, it's better than a $2000 bootcamp.

It's complicated. I would argue Beck himself does not fully understand Turquoise. Integral Theory handles the higher mystical stages better.
