There cannot be a shortcut to doing. Reconnect yourself with a juicy vision for your life, and then just do it. It will feel hard and uncomfortable at first. A juicy vision is crucial, otherwise you can't even be motivated to try. FYI, breaking addictions is always hard and there is no way to avoid suffering. Which is why you should be careful not to get addicted to begin with. If you get addicted to heroin, there's no painless way out. You must go through the withdrawal. See my video: Overcoming Addiction, which gives you the ultimate solution to addiction. But also! Don't guilt yourself too hard for watching self-help videos. This is still valuable stuff which is an investment in your future. There are much worse ways to spend your time.

"Most republicans are degenerate sub-humans." -- Vaush I like this example of Green completely demonizing Blue republicans. You can see that his worldview is not yet sophisticated enough to appreciate why people have different perspectives on reality: The perfect example of a stage Green trap. Even, though, of course, his critiques of racists are pretty good. He just overgeneralizes way too much. Most republicans are NOT white supremacists or fascists.

What's the difference? It's all going to blend together seamlessly over time to create a more optimal society. Society is constantly optimizing itself no matter who is in charge.

It's already happening! LOL

I think there are actually some studies which show the effect heavy metal music vs classical music has on the mind/consciousness. You ain't gonna find some blissed out yogi listening to heavy metal for a reason. Heavy metal will affect your consciousness in a similar way that watching horror movies might. The lower your consciousness the more you will gravitate towards dark, brash, aggressive material. Speaking of Red, I recently heard a report that one of Trump's favorite movies is Bloodsport, and when he watches it, he has his son fast-forward past all the dialogue and love scenes, to get to the bloody action. So it's just 60 minutes of pure bloody action. That's how Red operates. It sure explains a lot. He literally could only stand to watch 20 minutes of a movie about an angel! You can't make this shit up.

Peterson is so fucking clueless. He's like a dinosaur human. But hey, that's how solid Blue folks see the world. This is the American political divide in a nutshell. Red states vs Blue states.

I disagree with him on that. I don't buy into apocalyptic teachings. Of course I could be wrong. We could all die tomorrow. But I'm not gonna live my life that way or tailor my teachings that way. I'm a long-term optimist. Of course shit will happen in the short-term. You also have to consider how important the timing is. Maybe Shunya is correct in some ultimate sense, but that doesn't mean it will happen in our lifetimes. What really matters is the next 50 years. If it ain't happening within that timeframe, don't worry about it. That's not your generation's responsibility. Since he's a socialist, fundamentally be believes capitalism is unsustainable and will eat itself at some point. And while that might be true, again, the crucial question is when? Maybe in 100 years. Or maybe never if socialist policies are gradually implemented over the next 50 years (which seems most likely to me). Of course crashes and recessions will happen.

Yeah... that's fear. You've got a lot of fear to surrender before you are able to realize the Love of that alien super-intelligence. You're not going to get stuck in hell forever. That's just one of your deepest fears, so of course it hits you hard. The reason it feels forced is because YOU forced! LOL. That's what 5-MeO-DMT is! When you sit down to smoke bufo what you are basically saying is: "Force God upon me." And so it is. Then the question is are you able to handle what you asked for? Are you able to chew what you bit off? Which is why moderate dosing is crucial. You can certainly traumatize yourself with God by taking a large dose because by putting a chemical in your system you are brute-forcing awakening at the material level. And the material level tends to be ruthless. Gravity is not going to have compassion for you if you jump out of an airplane. Gravity will feel unloving in such a situation. But that's because you were crazy enough to jump out of an airplane. It's your job in this situation to ensure you have a parachute and know how to deploy it. Definitely try plugging it. Much gentler and smoother. Lower your dose. Don't be macho. This is not about who can do more. It's about finding the perfect dose for your current station in life. You will also get used to 5-MeO-DMT the more you do it. The first few times it just feels so alien, otherworldly, and confusing. Go slowly. Be patient. Play the long game. Take time to integrate. Trip only when you feel like you're ready for another dose of Truth. Sometimes I have to take months between trips. Don't be trying to copy me by doing some 30 days challenge bullshit. That's way too much. You should not be taking that as the standard example of how to trip. I was doing very hardcore stuff there because I wanted to test the limits.

Always take people talking about collapse of society with caution. Every year for thousands of years people talk about collapse, and yet society somehow keeps growing.

When a normie asks you to explain nonduality. - - - - - - When a newbie is raving to you about his first glimpse of awakening. - - - - - - When a newbie starts explaining their self-inquiry process to you. - - - - - - When someone is trying to explain to you that Love is just an emotion. - - - - - - The fist time in your life you hear that you do not exist. - - - - - - When your self-inquiry session ends and no magic happened. - - - - - - When you have perfectly explained the unexplainable.

Pure consciousness is essentially empty and without any quality whatsoever. Like a blank piece of paper. Then it takes on various shapes and forms, be that wave or whatever else.

When you try to explain your breakthrough the next day. - - - - - - - When you see two newbies trying to explain awakening to each other. - - - - - - - When an atheist casually asks you to prove God. - - - - - - - When a newbie comes to you arguing that the brain exists. - - - - - - - When a newbie comes to you raving about how the videos aren't just theory. - - - - - - - When your advanced student has a complete realization of Love.

When you realize that every evil thing your parents did to you, they did out of love, but you were too selfish to understand.

Begun, the culture wars have.

When you're stuck in Eternity, what else is there to do? Welcome to God's masturbatorium.

The levels are not discrete things. Think of it more like light. There are many degrees of light, from an LED to the sun and beyond.

Time is purely conceptual and imaginary. When you become conscious enough you can just stop imagining it. You can just forget it like you do an old childhood memory, until it pops back into your mind. Time is a conceptual projection of your mind. Don't confuse it with raw experience. Just because raw experience changes DOES NOT mean it happens in time. Change and time are not the same thing, even though we measure time by using change. Also be careful with thinking that reality occurs in frames or has a frame rate. It does not. There is one continuous field.

First slap: Your first awakening. Second slap: Your 20th awakening. Here is a fuller analysis of the situation. It's quite awe-inspiring: That's what it looks like when God slaps the devil out of you.

LOL, of course! This is a lounge you come to chill at after hours of grueling solo work.

It's not false per se, it's conceptual, relative, and partial. There are multiple orders of reality which we can talk about. Be careful not to confuse them. Sensation is a 1st order thing. Causation is a 2nd order thing. Similar to how sand is a 1st order thing and sand castles are a 2nd order thing. In this inquiry we are only interested in 1st order things. So stop asking 2nd order questions.

When you've postponed taking psychedelics every day for 3 days in a row due to pre-trip anxiety and now it's morning of day 4

We should also have a pit for folks who say they're enlightened but actually aren't

It certainly isn't a skull. It's a collection of sensations overlaid with thoughts and imagination. There is only a field of sensations and whatever causal explanations you're holding in your mind are drawing relationships between these various sensations, trying to make sense of them. Your mind can draw an infinite number of causal relationships between an infinite number of different sensations. E.g., you get an itch on your ass and you connect it in your mind with an image of a mosquito. You are connecting sensations with other sensations and those connections are themselves sensations. You've got nothing but sensations of various qualities.

A brilliant example of how stage Blue/Orange (Bolton) got duped by stage Red (Trump). Bolton thought Trump was Orange, only to discover that Trump was actually Red. This is where the power of Spiral Dynamics really shines. Once you know it, you'll never get duped like this.

When you realize this enlightenment stuff is 100x more serious than you imagined, and now you're wondering, "What the hell did I get myself into? Is it possible to go back?"
