Leo Gura

A conservative's paranoid understanding of Green.

The proper response to JP's political opinions:

This one is more damning than the Floyd one. Very difficult to justify. Why not use a taser or tackle him?

Yes, common thing.

This is hilarious. Nazis have become so quaint: Nothing to see here... just an innocent Nazi BBQ.

Not as dysfunctional as being stuck in Blue.

Truth is its own reward. The tunnel is endless.

Poisoning your political opponents? Yup, that's Red: This is why Trump is paranoid about his food being poisoned.

No. In practice it's very hard to eliminate such judgments and survival habits. Survival is seriously stubborn. No, I'm rarely in a blissful state. Some days I feel shitty. It all depends. There is the spiritual ideal, and then there is your actual life. And they are very different. You have to be very careful with this goal of bliss and happiness. You're likely yo be disappointed on that front.

Because it isn't true. So you are constantly fighting against Infinity. It is as if you are trying to dig a hole in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

I think it's highly unlikely. But he's already cheating by shutting down mail-in voting in blue states, so who knows. Its' gonna get ugly because he will not admit a loss.

You can't ever win that game because that kind of good vs bad is dualistic and relative. So no matter how much "good" you create and how much "bad" you avoid, you will always fail. True Goodness is Absolute, which means it includes the "bad". The ultimate solution to "bad" stuff is not to avoid it, but to stop seeing it as "bad". "Bad" is a projection of the ego-mind thanks to its endless desire to survive. So this problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness you're trying to solve it at. Absolute Good does not mean that your ego will get everything it wants.

Civilization is only just beginning. It's not finished, it's just transitioning from a caterpillar into a butterfly.

Sounds like a good trip.

Somewhat. But mostly I'm just naturally 2-3 times more sensitive to all psychedelics than a normal person.

Precisely! That's the whole game. God himself cannot help a person with a closed mind. Which is why a desire for self-exploration is fundamental.

Imagine for a moment everything that could ever possibly exist, even in theory. Imagine even everything that can't be imagined. Is there anything beyond that?

SD is not a religious belief system. It is a scientific model. By his logic every scientific model is silly and unnecessary. He might as well be arguing, "Why believe what Einstein said? If you are openminded you don't need General Relativity." Precisely because it allows you to predict why they think how they think, how they will resist changing their thinking, and what the next level of thinking looks like. It also allows you to avoid very common traps ans sticking points. Without SD your Dad doesn't even know what he's missing. This is known as the pre/trans fallacy, conflating advanced mysticism with fundamentalist religion. True spirituality is not a belief at all. It is direct consciousness of the Absolute. If you just blindly believed Leo, then yes, you would be falling into a stage Blue trap. But that is as silly as saying, "By believing your math teacher you are just being stage Blue and math is just true in your math teacher's experience and it's different for everyone so I don't need it." God and Consciousness are beliefs in the same way the sun is a belief. "Again, you are limited in your beliefs like Blue because you claim the sun exists. I don't need a manmade concept like 'the sun' to help me." And if we can decide which labels to give to elements on the periodic table, I would call one of them Dumbassium Your dad is simply closedminded and uneducated about developmental psychology. Maybe, like, read a book on developmental psychology before opining on it with such hubris.

Because their perspective is biased by their survival agenda. A woman does not understand what is required for a guy to attract a woman. Understanding this requires lots of experience attracting women. Which women do not have. It is also not in their self-interest to understand it. It would be like a rabbit understanding how to hunt rabbits. This does not compute in the rabbit's mind. The rabbit cannot imagine the hunting of rabbits. The rabbit will just give you advice to preclude hunting altogether because the rabbit must be anti-hunting to survive. So there is an unconscious conflict of interest problem. That is dating advice. Women do not spend time analyzing guys who approach them. Generally yes, but a woman is not the right person to ask about how not to be creepy. She hasn't spent much time thinking about this from the guy's POV.

I wasn't talking about the effects of climate change. Those are more long-term. I was talking more about the next 10-20 years. The effects of immigration crises due to climate change and the right-wing backlash that could cause is potentially be a big deal, but I don't see that happening yet for at least 20+ years and it's too hard to predict anything that far into the future.

Not too much further, as it becomes self-defeating. I think most decent conservatives are starting to see that Trump is a disaster and he is incapable of really helping them. There will always be an extremist fringe, but I don't see them taking over the government. Trump was their best chance and he failed.

Camping is much harder since you will need to plan logistics well and worry about the elements. Make sure you pack everything you need for survival.

125ug is a full God-consciousness for me. Things would be profound even at half that dose.

1) Don't trip when you are in a bad mood. 2) Don't trip for the purpose of experiencing bliss or pleasure. Those are your two mistakes.

@Milos Uzelac Still, today's right wing is less extreme and more evolved than the fascists of the 1920's and 30's. So it's not identical, but there are important similarities.
