@MarkKol Vlad covers Trump and American politics a lot. I share everything I know on my blog. If I find anything good I post it there.

@RendHeaven Why would you eat any chemical raw?? Put it inside an empty gelatin capsule for vitamins. https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Gelatin-Capsules-Size-Filling/dp/B0DJ8PKTHP/

Of course. But notice further than even once those people get money and sex, they still don't care about truth, they continue endlessly chasing more money and sex. Do any of the richest and most powerful people lack access to basic needs? No. Yet they are still lost in chasing success and survival. And I cared about truth before I had money or sex. Caring about truth transcends your material situation. Which is why getting a billion dollars will not suddenly make you care about truth. And also notice, if you really cared about truth you would work really hard to handle your base material needs so that you can focus on truth without being distracted by survival.

@Butters Don't invoke my name or teachings in your devilry.

You don't need faith when you can have Consciousness. Faith is fool's gold. Consciousness is actual gold.

@TruthFreedom You are not doing the work. You are engaged in belief, guessing, and fantasy. This work is about what literally occurs in direct experience. What believes your ego invents are irrelevant.

It's way worse than that. Those things are all peanuts. The main thing is that they are couping the US government. Everything else is a distraction.

Don't guess. Sit down and observe what meaning is, how it is created. This work is not about guessing about how things are, it is about sitting down and looking at what is actually going on. It's like science. Do the science of meaning. Go outside, pick up a rock, and ask yourself, What does this rock mean? And look at it. There is your answer.

It is important not to create a shadow out of selfishness. Selfishness absolutely needs to exist, which is why it exists. Without selfishness you could not be alive. Yes, turning selfishness into a "bad" is a trap. Again, the point of awakening is to realize that nothing bad has ever existed, including of course selfishness, which is just what is meant by evil. If you think selfishness is bad then that's equlivalent to saying that evil exists. Which of course is wrong. But also notice the trick here: when someone behaves very selfishly towards you, you will not be able to stop yourself from calling it bad. So not demonizing selfishness is very, very advanced stuff. Most humans are nowhere close to that. Even spiritual humans will fail at it. A better way to put it is that excessive selfishness is problematic and self-defeating while a healthy level of selfishness is appropriate and even necessary.

The point is to see that you are creating those things. Meaning exists as something your mind creates. Otherwise it doesn't. It's like you are given a canvas with an elephant drawn on it and told that the elephant only exists because someone drew it. Otherwise there is no elephant. And you reply, "But elephants aren't real then? Elephants are a hoax?! Why would you want a life without elephants?"

That's good. At least you are thinking. It's a good place to start. You won't ever grasp the complexity of every thing, however you can grasp the big picture, the ultimate nature of reality. "Tiny monkey brain" is a construction. You are neither a monkey nor a brain nor tiny. Those are assumptions and illusions which you can break through. Lots of assumptions here. You assume bats and others exist. You assume you are a human. You assume that bias cannot be overcome. Imagine an even higher level of transcendence beyond human experience and perception. I did it for you in the video. Relativity is a deep aspect of reality, so you don't need to deconstruct it, you just need to contemplate and properly understand it, rather than abusing it. All the finite things have one singular source. By becoming conscious of that source you will understand the essence of all finite things. You can understand what a cat is without needing to see every cat in the world. Studying a handful of cats is sufficient to understand catness. So it's not as hard as you make it seem. Just realize that reality has some ultimate over-arching structure which is not relative, even though within that structure you can have endless points of view. Reality is a dream imagined by an infinite mind. This is not relative. But the content inside those dreams is relative. Don't get stuck in the content within the dream. You are missing consciousness of that ultimate structure which is not dream-specific.

No

Let's fork you in the foot and find out.

Time to start sunbathing our buttholes like the trees we are

Feelings are more primitive. Emotions are feelings + conceptual content like thoughts and images. If I stab you in the foot with a fork, that's a feeling. If you hate me for it, that's an emotion.

Yes, color can range that much. Both those look good. They should smell similar.

You have to feel before you can evolve eyes, like you need to crawl before you can walk.

I didn't say they have emotions. But emotions are just a more advanced form of feeling.

@Clarence 20mg is very low for DPT. You'll need quite a lot more for a serious trip. Welcome.

Note that in the evolution of living things, feeling was the first sense to evolve. Feeling is more primordial than vision, smell, hearing, taste. Cellular organisms can feel before than can see. In fact, all the other sense organs evolved out of feeling receptors. Your eyes literally "feel" photons. Your tongue "feels" food molecules. That shows you how fundamental feeling is to survival. And why emotions override rationality and logic. If you felt bad enough you would not be able to do anything: walk, talk, smile, eat, make money, socialize, and even think. At some point you will feel so bad that your only option will be death.

I like both. There's value in both.

Visuals are a beautiful and good thing to experience. You should still get them at high doses.

More like: less dense ego equates to those things. Less ego, less gooding and badding. Observe what role gooding and badding play in upholding the ego. The ego is like a bird that flys on two wings: good and bad.

It's like I need to write a quote, and then write an explanation of it. Like some kind of BIble/Shakespeare commentary. But this feels over-the-top. Sometimes I don't feel like over-explaining it. But it's also important that it not be misunderstood. There is a trade-off between pithiness and clarity. Quotes sacrifice clarity for pithiness.

Because it had a unique premise and it had a genuine reason for being. All the other ones had little reason for being other than to make the studio money. There is a clear difference between things which are made for the purpose of creativity vs for the purpose of making money. If a thing is being made for the purpose of money it is already corrupt from the moment of its inception. Although I liked the 3rd one. It is best one since the first. This new one gives me 3rd one vibes, which is why it might be worth watching. Although ScarJo seems miscast for that role.
