Ooo... I like that one

@Moksha Namaste motherfucker

Well, to be more fair, he probably has no idea what my psychedelics do.

Osho told me to tell you this

There is Absolute Infinite Consciousness. A state in which the Universe telepathically interconnects with every corner of itself in infinite directions and infinite dimensions to realize itself fully and totally as precisely what it is: LOVE Simply a dot of INFINITE LOVE. Completely, 100% self-aware. Not a single aspect of itself hidden from itself.

Sounds like a plan. But save extra for internet connection so you can log onto the Actualized forum to hasten your awakening to total Buddhahood

Contemplate this question: Assume God really did exist. How could God ever be sure he was God? Who would he ask? since anyone he asked would be himself. What if God asked himself but then lied to himself? Would that mean God exists but never knows he is God? - - - - - - God is not merely a feeling. It is TOTAL OMNISCIENCE of all of reality in one fell swoop. Imagine if you understood in one fell swoop how you designed every hair on your head and every molecule in your parents' bodies. What you're not appreciating is that the Universe is capable of TOTAL OMNISCIENCE. It can know itself perfectly.

I didn't realize Jews faked the moon landing. It's all starting to make sense now...

Too late. I needed to be in that video itself.

It's not about being boring. It's about being more welcoming and loving of low consciousness people. In the end, even the most ignorant people need our understanding and compassion because they cannot help themselves. I will model that better in the future. I'm sorta getting the edginess out of my system now so I can be more solid as I get older and more mature.

Oh, I think plenty of people are feeling the last 4 years of Trump and this pandemic and this economic depression. People feel it. Look, this is still a small percentage of the population that believes this crap. We have to remember that crazies on YT do not represent average Americans. Those crazies at Trump rallies are NOT average Americans. Americans are better than that. Sure, some will always be deluded like that. New institutions are being built as we speak. Just over the last year companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. have started cracking down on conspiracy theories and toxic right-wing ideologies. And that will only get better going forward. It's far from perfect, but these platforms need time to properly flesh out their moderation teams and guidelines, and to code better AIs. Sanity will come from the center. The function of centrists is to ground both extremes of the left and right. Majority of the country is centrist, and that's not as terrible as some lefties would have you believe. People like us are the sanity, if we ground ourselves in Consciousness, Truth, and Love. We must serve as the conscious leaders of the next generation. Remember, all this chaos is an opportunity for you to rise up to your full Godly potential and to guide mankind towards the light. The devils that lurk around you are there to test your divinity. Will you stand for Love, or succumb to the fear? That is the only game in town. Yes, chaos and suffering increases violence which increases suffering until the fever breaks. Increased violence seems very likely. It's hard to tell how bad it will get before the fever breaks. Your job is to meet the situation head-on with Consciousness and Love.

Man, it would have been so cool if I could sponsor his video. That would really fuck with people's minds

Well, he's been banned from YT.

I think the craziness has to play itself out so that people can suffer from the consequences and learn to let go of unworkable and painful ideas. Humans basically learn through suffering. Excess leads to chaos and suffering, suffering leads to a desire for re-balancing, sanity, and peace. And so it goes in cycles. It's the Hegelian dialectic. We have had 80 years of relative peace since WWII. This peace has made us complacent and spoiled. Now this peace is starting to crack as the old system which got us here will not be enough to get us to the next level, but people are not willing to evolve consciously. So there will be suffering. This is what the Orange >> Green transition looks like. It has begun, but only just, so there is much backlash.

You never appreciate what you got until you lose it. Just wait till you start losing your health.

Survival is the purpose. No mystery there. There will always be some degree of selfish elites running things. Because all creatures are selfish and "elite" is anyone who is in a leadership position that people follow. Again, these are deep systemic dynamics of human civilization. Not conspiracies.

Yes, 100%. BUT! The question is, Is America today perhaps also so corrupt and capitalistic that socialism will also collapse if implemented again? I don't know about that.... America is pretty fucking corrupt with capitalist ideology and money and habits. I think you are right that we would not get Soviet style gulags, executions, and dictators. But I think there would be enormous cultural backlash, and business leaders would probably start a plot to bring back the old system which they have gotten addicted to. For socialism to truly work it requires more than merely changes in law. It requires a cultural reprogramming. Which freaks people out. If socialism was implemented in full, it could be enough to cause a real second Civil War. The people have to want it. You can't just sneak it upon them or ram it down their throats.

Don't poo-poo quality education. All of my work with Actualized.org is grounded in a solid classic education. I wouldn't be here otherwise. There is a good reason why Trump supporters are mostly white people with no college education. And why they are so prone to toxic conspiracy theories. And why the right-wing is so critical of universities. 2/3rds of Americans have no college education. If 50% of Americans had a college education, Trump would never have gotten elected. Quality classic education is hugely important. It teaches people basic academic rigor which cut down conspiracy thinking a lot. Universities are somewhat corrupt, but overall they are a net positive force in society. We need more, not less. And also better. Yes, of course. All standards are relative and self-biased. I am not saying to blindly trust the mainstream. Pretty much all mainstream narratives are collective illusions. Yes, but this is a very dangerous thing. It's like giving a child a loaded handgun to play with. In the hands of a trained expert who knows what he's doing, a loaded gun is a useful tool. But in the hands of a moron, it's very dangerous and he will more than likely end up shooting himself. A Trumpist's definition of truth is inferior to that of the mainstream news. The mainstream news is biased, but at least they have serious journalists with some integrity working for them. The Trump cult just makes up bullshit all day long and treats it as truth. I agree.

This can be a clever cop-out by lefties. I think it's too convenient to say that true communism was never attempted. The point which conservatives are right about is this: what if it can't really be attempted because human nature doesn't allow it to even get off the ground? At least not at our current level of development. If every time communism is attempted it goes horribly wrong, that tells us something important about the lack of fit between communism and people. It's sort of like saying, "I've never truly attempted to put on a size 8 shoe" when my foot is size 12. Yet I keep going to the store and buying size 8 shoes, convinced that one day a "true attempt" will finally get it on my foot. "True attempt" is a very loaded and sneaky notion in this situation.

That's a noble life purpose. Yes, I totally agree. That's the biggest lesson we learned from Soviet Russia, China, and Korea. Socialist ideals are good, but ideals are not enough to make a thing fly. It needs to be practical too. A 1st grader cannot handle algebra. Most people are too selfish to handle socialism. So we need to work on the selfishness part.

To be fair, this guy did not shit on them. His communication was very balanced and reasonable. But the thing you gotta ask this guy is, "What kind of psychedelics? How much of them did you do? And in what settings?" << That is the key question when a guru starts talking about psychedelics. Ask them that question and you will probably realize that they are utterly inexperienced. "Yeah, bro, I took 8 grams of mushrooms back in high school at a rock concert and puked. I don't recommend it."

It is, but you aren't aware that. It is, but you aren't aware of that. Yes, of course. This moment is Infinity. But you are not infinitely conscious right now. Look, to be awake you must be conscious that you are God. I don't know any simpler way to put it. It's almost impossible to explain to someone who has never experienced themselves as God. It is not good enough to believe that you are God. You must feel it so profoundly that it is totally obvious beyond any possible doubt or question. When you reach this point, you will understand why everything exists as it does.

Unfortunately toxic chemicals are also imaginary, so they are perfectly capable of clogging up your imaginary brain.

Sure. That's selfishness and survival and devilry in action. It's been that way since the dawn of civilization. It is important to study and understand how selfishness and survival and devilry work. But there is no cabal of evil elites running the world.

Proper, quality education -- while admittedly a rare thing -- does not make you a slave. It teaches you how to learn and think for yourself and how to have high epistemic standards. Media makes you stupid if you don't use it properly by not diversifying your sources and not reading books. Corruption is certainly a problem. Yes. Which is what we're trying to correct. Via education and public policy.
