@TDW1995 It's more radical than you think. "Sensation" itself is a false notion. Colors, sounds, feeling, etc. are not really sensation. "Sensation" is a notion created by the ego-mind in order for it to believe the human self is real. The notion of "sensation" comes pre-baked with the notion that there is a self who is having sensations. See video: What Is Perception? Not only are all senses equal, everything in the universe is equal to everything else! A taco is the same as a basketball. Any difference you think exists between them is purely your bias and imagination. Realize this: There is no difference between anything.

His talk of revolution is very problematic.

Nobody ever believes he is racists. If racists understood they are racist, then racism wouldn't exist. The whole trick to racism is that it's denied in plain sight with a straight face.

It's pure, 100% mystery. Throw away all concepts and ideas and just bask in the mystery of the present moment.

@Kiko Dude, you need to isolate her and nail her to the wall. Stop making excuses.

Look here. There's talk and fantasy, and then there's how people actually behave. Trust their actions more than their cheap words. - - - - - - "All men were created equal..." "Black guy is 3/5 of a person..."

Lol Yeah, DMT will certainly clear all this up

Of course. The ego-mind is desperately trying to survive. Because it will die. It's all bullshit! There is no left or right. And no brain. Now you got it. Direct experience of the present moment is NOT a belief or story. Ground yourself in raw direct experience. Not concepts.

The brain is a hallucination. You're not getting how radical this is. Reality has no ground. Anything which you think is grounding the present moment is false. Nothing is grounding anything. The ego-mid is playing tricks in order to maintain a sense of "reality". You must cut through all the false grounds it constructs. Including brain, Earth, universe, atoms, birth, your childhood memories, etc. It's all pure fiction! Nothing you think is real!

I'd recommend drinking a glass of Slippery Elm twice a day for at least a month. Research Slippery Elm. And keep trying other stuff.

A woman is not like a guy. She has to be turned on and seduced into horniness. You gotta stimulate her emotions, build an emotional connection, and then escalate physically. You build an emotional connection by sharing parts of your personal life story and being vulnerable with her. You should be looking in her eyes non-stop. This builds massive intimacy and trust. Make your touching playful to start. Treat her like your little sister. Be playful and put her in a playful mood. Rather than doing a serious kiss, you can try something like making her laugh and then doing an eskimo kiss. If she is willing to hold deep eye contact with you, and she's willing to let you stroke her hair, she's willing to kiss you. If she rejects a kiss, you just act cool, like nothing bad or weird happened, and you try again in 10 minutes after you make her laugh. Always escalate physical during emotional upswings. When she is laughing or smiling or happy. Give her hugs. And start putting your hands on her hips. If she's letting you hold her hips, she willing to fuck you. Sometimes girls are cold. You gotta warm them up.

Yeah, it's called INTROVERSION. Nevertheless, if you wanna get laid, start going out.

Lol Since when?? Religion has always been about POWER and us vs them thinking.

Can you? Most of them are. Slave owners used Christianity to justify their moral right to own slaves. You can use Christianity justify any evil.

Not according to the scientists who keep hallucinating matter.

@Raphael Congrats! Welcome to Tier 2

@Akemrelax Well, it seems like you're interpreting what I said in an exaggerated or simplistic way. That post about ambiguity was just a single piece of advice. You don't go building your entire life upon it. It's one piece of a giant puzzle. Obviously I'm not telling you to disregard basic facts.

Of course only you can decide those things for yourself. It's a matter of your highest values, desires, and priorities. In general I would say, don't give up on your dreams. But you have to be creative about how you go about them. Don't just keep doing the same old thing if it's not working. You must find new ways of pursuing your dreams, or perhaps adapting your dreams slightly. No achievement will ever make you happy, but at the same time, not following your dreams will make you miserable. Maybe you can take a couple years to work on your social life before you jump back into business? You don't want to work so long that you never have a social life. 34 is still pretty young. If you plan things out properly you should be able to get a girlfriend and then work on your biz. But don't waffle around. Get clear about what you want and what order you want it in.

Nah

Sounds like she wants you but you're not being man enough to get her. If you want her, you should man up and go for it. Don't get sexual with her unless you have her in an isolated location where sex can occur. If friends are around, you can do light flirting and build rapport. Once that's done, you have to isolate her and get to business. If a girl likes you and you hesitate too long to pull the trigger, you will lose her. Don't be afraid to go fast when you get clear signs that she wants you. You can test whether she wants you or not by the quality of her eye contact and whether she lets you touch her body. If she's allowing you to touch her body, that's a very positive sign and you should escalate quickly and isolate as soon as possible. A girl being bitchy early on can actually be a sign that she likes you. She's testing you to see if you're strong enough to be her man. You need to plow through her bullshit by not taking it seriously and keep flirting and physically escalating. Don't let her bitchiness faze you. Pretty soon you're win her over and she'll become submissive. If you know for sure that she told your friend that she likes you, this is as big a green light as you can possibly have. You need to get her into a bedroom ASAP. Stop being a pussy. Be the strong man she wants. You can't get a girl without risking rejection. Isolate her and tell her that you want her. Don't stop unless she explicitly rejects you.

We are all different and have different spiritual talents. Some people get enlightened in one weekend, others take 30 years, other never. I have some special talents which many people don't have. It's impossible to compare what he and I have integrated. I have no idea what he's integrated. Maybe he did more than me in those 20 years. Hard to say. I don't recommend it either. He did very high doses which is dangerous. My approach is doing moderate sizes doses but doing them more often. I wouldn't call it the same. There's no way to know or compare these things nor should you try. I have been contemplating the metaphysics and epistemology of reality since I was 16 years old. So I had laid a deep theoretical foundation. And I'm also very good at contemplating metaphysical things. Of course. Why not? Almost any psychedelic can be used to have serious spiritual insight and the insights will be similar. You could do what he did using almost any psychedelic if you're committed enough. The magic is not in the psychedelic as much as in your intent to use it to understand reality. What we're talking about is understanding. His doses were way too high. I recommend low to moderate doses which won't be so difficult to integrate. I don't recommend you copy me in doing 30 days of 5-MeO-DMT. That's too much and it's not necessary. I did it because I wanted to push the edge and explore uncharted waters. I was only able to do it because I had a deep theoretical foundation and I had several years of prior experience working with psychedelics. For a normal person such as yourself, you should be aiming for small doses done once or twice a month, with breaks in between. A good starting dose is 1g-2g dried mushrooms or 125ug of LSD. Or the equivalent of that on any other psychedelic. There are dozens of wonderful psychedelics or research chemicals you can use to achieve a similar result. Through experimentation you can find which molecule works best for you. Don't assume we are all the same. Your brain chemistry is unique. In general I would say you're getting ahead of your skiis. Do a few small trips and just see how psychedelics make you feel. They may not be right for you, or you may find that they are perfect for you. It all depends. There are too many variables to know ahead of time. This is a domain which requires exploration and careful trial and error.

I'd say Gandhi was an usually healthy manifestation of Blue. Some Blue become very righteous and pursue integrity as their whole life purpose. Like Mother Theresa

Chris Hedges has some good ideas, but don't expect him to give a deeper spiritual context to all this. Collapse is not the only possibility. There is a lot of untapped progressive potential going forward and you as an individual can do a lot to build a good life. The problem with listening too much socialist political commentary is that it makes your thinking so collectivist that you forget that as an individual you can do a lot of stuff to escape wage slavery and build a good life. Listen to socialists, but don't forget to build your life. Don't buy into their excuses.

Of course. That's what I mean by ivory tower.
