The Void IS the being. The Void is YOU/God. The Void is also here and now and always. Look around the room. This is the Void.

Almost certainly research and intel. Research can be selfless. How else can they know about us without interfering with us on a large scale? Maybe they have tech which can scan a person's mind and extract all the knowledge, data, beliefs, ego development level, etc. But to use that tech they need to abduct a few folks.

@Matt1576 Great example! Healthy Blue does exist.

All sorts of combinations are possible. There are not hard rules. Yes, you pretty much guaranteed to have various profound insights even after your first few awakenings. Your first few awakenings are not going to make everything crystal clear. You should still have many questions remaining. See my video: The Many Facets of Awakening

His consciousness model is interesting and somewhat useful, but I would not conflate it with Cook-Greuter's work. They are very different. Any model that tries to map consciousness on a linear scale is extremely problematic. Conscious states are not at all linear or one-dimensional.

There are many degrees of this giftedness. I certainly have some degree of it, but there are people who have it 100x more than me. I would say that I am mildly gifted. My mind is gifted with extraordinary intuition, holistic intelligence, and wisdom. This has basically always been the case for me. It is not something I worked to achieve. Although my inner work cranked it up to 11. But I am not gifted in the same way that psychics, healers, and yogis are.

@justfortoday Well, I would just try to roll with it and try to enjoy it. Things will stabilize for you. This is just a phase. Just keep reminding yourself that this is a process and it will stabilize. You just gotta be patient with it. Don't get pushy with it. Let it unfold organically. Be open to wherever it wants to take you.

I don't know that there was any one key for him. I don't see how it makes a difference. You can crank up the plugged dose as high as you want. A longer trip is not going to dissolve the ego any less than a short trip, just the opposite. It's not like you will come back from a 4 hour 5-MeO trip and be like, "Well, that was full nonduality, but it lasted for 4 hours instead of 15 minutes, therefore it isn't permanent enlightenment."

Bullshit

I've perhaps had some degree of that on high dose mushrooms.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker That's how I react if Sarah Palin ever becomes President

There is a difference between abducting a few individuals vs first contact. First contact means that every culture and country in the world would officially recognize aliens as real. There would be no more doubt or speculation. The TV news would be wall-to-wall alien coverage. People would be going nuts.

He's already laying the groundwork. Trump will never admit defeat, even if he loses both the popular vote and electoral college. He has already blamed any future loss on Democrat rigging and fraud. No matter what happens the Democrats will be scapegoated and gaslit for the loss. Everything Trump does to rig the system he will blame on Democrats and progressives. By more powerful leader you mean an authoritarian. That is exactly the problem. We don't need a more powerful president. You got it backwards. Trump will not defend anything against Putin. If Putin annexed any more territory, Biden and his administration would be very against it and tough on Putin with crazy sanctions. Biden is not weak on Russia or NATO. Trump has been undermining NATO. Oh, his health looks good enough to be alive. The biggest problem for him is: you have to be out of prison to run for president. If Trump loses, there's a good chance he's going to prison. Tons of criminal cases pending against him. Which is why he will refuse to leave office. For Trump, leaving office is basically a prison sentence. He needs the immunity.

A) Who said they were metallic? B) How else do you expect life to travel from planet to planet? In plastic cups? To me he sounds exactly how a scientist would sound if he worked on UFOs for the government. Because humans are not yet evolved enough to take first contact as a positive thing. Humans are so dumb and fearful that we would turn it into paranoia. These aliens have probably interacted with many other species in the universe so they know from experience which species can handle first contact and which cannot. They probably freaked out and inadvertently hurt many species with contact before they learned the lesson not to interfere until folks are ready for it. Non-interference is an important aspect of consciousness and love. You don't stick your nose where it don't belong. You don't got derailing the developmental paths of others without good reason. It's the same reason why God does not do stunts to show itself to people. God has a non-interference policy. The nature of a good being is that it will not force itself upon you because it is conscious that this would hurt you and backfire in the grand scheme of things. Even us 21st century humans try to keep isolated native tribes free from outside interference.

I have no difficulty remembering all of my 5-MeO-DMT trips, as if they happened yesterday.

Love is the void. When you realize bad is an illusion, Good is all that remains.

@Member They are def not man-made.

If Joe wins in 2020, it could be Trump in 2021. And don't forget, if Trump loses, he can run again in 2024.

But that is not what people report. Bob Lazar talks about flying UFOs like a car. They are as real as trees, is the claim.

If the void was bad, it wouldn't be void. Anything "bad" is obviously an ego reaction and not inherent to reality.

Cute, but God-consciousness it does not make. But they aren't conscious of what God is.

@mandyjw I call that the art of modern narcissism

Show me the bodies. Or at least a withered severed foot.

Those are another matter. Interdimensional beings are not the same as UFOs. We got two different levels of aliens we're dealing with here.

What happened to being selfless and loving? I see your Shapiro's squeaky voice, and I raise you Carlson's befuddled face. Tucker Carlson looks at common sense that way I look at differential equations.
