@Parththakkar12 When you wrestle with a pig, both of you get dirty, but the pig enjoys it. Beware of buying into right-wing framed debates.

There are revolutionary times, but the bigger the leap forward, the bigger the ego backlash backward, so it's not necessarily a good strategy to aim for revolutions. Revolutions tend to be polarizing and they produce a lot of bluster without the solid infrastructure. I would prefer an approach that slowly builds solid infrastructure rather than just blusters. After the French Revolution came the counter-revolution and Napoleon. I think this is typical of how revolutions tends to unfold.

You gotta get your technique consistent and make sure your ass is empty every time.

It would be too shocking to publish. You guys would misunderstand it and think I am a deluded narcissist cult leader. Hence no manifesto for you. I don't place much stock any more in the awakenings of other teachers/humans. To me it is child's play stuff. I have seen things....

Most awakened people are too scared to do serious multiple doses of 5-MeO-DMT. I keep suggesting they do, and they keep chickening out. So fear and closedmindedness are huge factors. Most people are simply not interested in exploring consciousness to is highest levels. Even the "awake" of often uninterested. But also, 5-MeO-DMT is not a magic pill. It will not leave you in a permanent state of God-consciousness. You must still do the work. The bottom line is: You can't get something unless you REALLY want it. You have to want to become God.

100s of times. And I know I am God regardless if I just put a bit of attention on it. Welcome to life, buddy! Where health easily deteriorates for many factors outside your control. Every buddha loses his health and dies at some point. It's only a question of time. Ramana Maharshi died of cancer. By your logic he was some sort of fool for getting cancer. They have for now. But I am working on healing myself. Health can wax and wane. Be careful with jumping to simplistic conclusions. Correlation does not equal causation. Self-development is not what caused my health problems. Unawakened people die of diseases all the time. By your logic, why would anyone want unawakening? It is the truth. If it is misleading that is because people simply don't bother to understand it and do the necessary work. I'm not going to dumb down the truth simply because people find it misleading. The mislead is a problem in your mind which needs fixing. The truth doesn't need fixing. This is the ultimate truth: You are God. Now, your job is to realize it and handle it. I like to state the truth as plainly and directly as possible. Of course healing is also something we want. You can have both. And sometimes you can't. There is never a guarantee of health. Health is an extremely complex issue involving thousands of subtle factors, most of which are out of your awareness and control. I can work on increasing my consciousness and improving my health at the same time. And the two synergize.

But it sounds like you identify with being the observer of the field.

Switching your identity to that of Nothingness to the exclusion of states and fields becomes its own subtle duality. If you identify with being an observer of the field, that is a subtle duality still. There is 1) YOU, and 2) the field. YOU = FIELD ONENESS Nothing more can be said.

You can frame it that way if you want. There are various ways of framing it. I make no distinction between the field and Brahman, Self and no-self. In the end there is only ONENESS. Slice it up however you want. People will naturally slice it up in different ways, which will cause disagreements. But I sometimes notice that people dismiss the important of the transparency or opaqueness of the field. Which I think is a big disservice to students. The transparency/opaqueness matters a lot in practical terms. The point of all spiritual work is to increase transparency.

No it isn't. It's still all one consciousness. Light is not turned into two substances by increase or decrease of intensity. If you want to be a stickler and insist on pure, absolute, unmitigated nonduality, then you can become the Godhead itself, which is just formless infinite consciousness which increases in intensity forever without end. But at this point your human life will be gone, as will the entire material universe.

@Tim R Sorry, I accidentally deleted one of your last posts because it was a duplicate on my screen. Try re-posting it.

Nothing. There is no difference between the field and the I. You are the field.

Consciousness is an infinite field which is capable of being more or less conscious of itself, more or less transparent or opaque to itself. Similar to the light in empty space. You can have very little light or you can have our sun, or something that's 1 million times brighter than our sun. All of that is the same light, but many degrees of brightness. An ant is definitely not conscious that it is God. Children are definitely not conscious that they are God. 99.9% of adults have no consciousness of what God is. But you could become God-conscious. This takes some doing. It isn't your natural state. Your natural state is a state of humanness. This infinite field of consciousness, because it is unlimited, is capable of dialing itself down from infinity to some finite consciousness, like that of a rock. When God is dialed down to a rock, God isn't aware that it is God.

I have seen so called "enlightened" people take 5-MeO-DMT and DMT, and it simply failed to take effect or they refused to do higher doses because they were too scared. It's not because they are so woke that it doesn't work on them. They simply have little desire to actually take serious doses repeatedly. They do a little test dose and then stop right there, thinking they understand what 5-MeO-DMT or DMT can offer. And also, these chemicals do not work on all people. Some people are simply immune. Some people simply have bad bodily reactions with no significant shift in consciousness. So when some enlightened "gym rat" tells you he's done psychedelics, it doesn't mean shit. "I've done psychedelics" is like saying "I've done math" when you have only done 1st grade arithmetic. There are many degrees of "Doing math".

No it isn't. If this were true, everyone would be equally conscious and there would no point in spiritual practice. An ant would be as conscious as a human, and a child as an adult. Which is clearly not the case. To me, just hearing people claim that they are currently infinitely conscious is laughable. It's clear they are not even 1% conscious as they say that. If it seems to you like you're infinitely conscious, that's only because you're 1% conscious but have never experienced anything above that, so to you it like that you've already arrived. But in all honestly, you haven't even left the starting gate.

You can decriminalize them all but then tightly regulate access. Obviously something like Fentinyl requires serious regulation, just like cyanide. Psychedelics also require reasonable regulation as people will abuse them. Low cost training programs are necessary that teach people how to do them safely and which unsafe ones to avoid.

Yes, you can and basically should DIY chelation, since virtually no doctor knows how to do it for you. Only you can do it effectively yourself. Follow the Andy Cutler protocol.

What Vaush is doing. He is a socialist who is strongly supporting Biden because he understands the realities of how the game works. Progress is not made in one fell swoop. You chip away at it every day for a lifetime, stealing inch by inch.

Of course enlightenment is the present moment. But also, there's more. It is not a binary. To not acknowledge degrees of wokeness is amateur stuff. And to boil enlightenment down merely to presence does a disservice to how deep consciousness can go. You are nowhere near infinitely conscious this present moment. But you could be. Infininte consciousness always occurs in the present moment, but that does not mean the present moment is infinitely conscious. And "guru"? Guru just means: one who guides people from darkness to the light. It's become hip to use this term derisively, as if there's something wrong in guru-ing. The reason I don't claim to be enlightened is because I see now that there are infinite degrees of consciousness such that you could never boil them down to a simple binary on/off, enlightened/unenlightened. The question isn't, is person X enlightened? The real question is, how conscious is person X and what exactly is X conscious of?

@Husseinisdoingfine Passing a Constitutional amendment requires 75% of states to pass it. Will never happen in the red states.

Just more silly culture war stuff. Watch how you feed the culture wars.

All dualities and forms eventually circle back around into themselves.

@seeking_brilliance To me, awakening is a very serious word for a very rare event that less than 0.001% of humans ever experience. The word has been seriously diluted by those who have no idea what awakening is. Transitioning from Orange or Green is nice, but it has little to do with awakening. To awaken is to realize you are God. There will not be any significant percentage of God-realized people walking this planet in our lifetime.

I don't agree with that. I don't see evidence we are going backwards. It's just that going forwards is never a straight line. It's always been 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Lots of smooth-brained folks interpret the 1 step back as the end of the world, when really it's all part of going forward. Forward is a counter-intuitive thing.
