That should be plainly obvious when you watch how conservatives defend Trump and war. They operate from an entirely different (and lower) level of consciousness. Anyone who advocates for war gives himself away right away. That tells you who they are. A highly conscious being would never advocate for war. To be fair, plenty of centrist neoliberals also advocate for war. They are slightly more evolved, but not by much. Also the nationalism is a dead givaway of low consciousness. Nationalism is what gives rise to the racism, xenophobia, homophobia, mysogeny, culture wars, and fascistic/authoritarian leanings. Why do all the Republican Senators support Trump's brazen illegality and devilry? Because in their heart they like the notion of a strongman / authoritarian, as long as he is THEIR authoritarian. So they follow like sheep. Liberals are less inclined to behave this way. Liberals are less conformist, more free-thinking (even though they still of course get trapped in group-think). Studies show that liberals have higher openmindedness. Which is a key dimension of consciousness. You can't be conscious and closedminded at the same time.

Very true Nice example of recontextualization.

@JalenS23 Obviously we should be improving the quality of our food. And that is already happening. But it takes wealth and development to do that. In a world where many people are still starving, junk food is a step forward for them because it is cheap. They cannot afford better. Concerns about organic and whole food doesn't emerge until stage Green. 80% of the world isn't there yet.

Psychedelics are a catalyst for facing one's shadow and transcending one's ego. The more dysfunctional one's ego is, the more shadow one has, the less stable one's mind is, the more things can go wrong during a trip. People with mental illness or disorders need psychedelics more than anyone, but they are also less likely to handle facing their shadow. It's like a high stakes bet for such people. If you win, you win big. If you lose, it will be hell. Proper and very gradual dosing is crucial in such cases. You don't want to bite off more than you can chew. The less mentally stable and whole that you are, the less you can chew, the less you should bite. Of course if you are mentally unstable the less likely you are to follow my advice, the more sloppy your approach will be, the more likely you are to overdose and freak out. Ignorance cannot help being ignorant.

Guys, please be careful posting misinformation on this forum. Double check your quotes and source material. Locking for fake quote.

No, it's not fair to say because humans are much more complicated and conscious, with a higher challenge for conscious living.

Alexander Shulgin, inventor of MDMA, 2C-B, and 100+ other psychedelics, who personally tested and sampled all of them, lived till his 90's. So by your logic, you should do as many psychedelics as possible to live longer

Dalai Lama eats meat when he's traveling. @JalenS23 Again, you underestimate how well adapted humans are to their technology. Cooking food is baked into our DNA. It's not something we just do nowadays. We've been doing it since before we were even homo sapiens. Likewise for things like wearing furs. Your body is bald precisely because it adapted to wearing clothing.

Focus on developing your strengths. If you are a visionary big picture thinker, that is far more valuable than bean-counting. Stop trying to get the bean-counters' approval. An eagle is meant to soar, not cluck with the turkeys in the dirt.

This just doesn't square with the facts. Humans have successfully adapted to cold environs for 100,000s of years. In fact, cold climates are more ideal for the growth of civilization, which is why the most developed countries are from the north, generally speaking. Eskimos are well adpated to living in Alaska and Nepalese have specially adapted lungs for living in the high altitudes. They can climb Mt Everest without oxygen tanks when most white people need to use oxygen tanks. And of course our skin colors have fully adapted to the climate we hail from. Evolution adapts fast. It's always adapting, even today. Humans and technology go hand in hand. These two cannot be treated seperately. Technology is a huge part of our evolution. We have adapted to cooked meat, fire, clothing, etc. long ago. Don't forget, we lived through the ice age and ate all the mammoths (probably). If you hail from Europe, eating mammoths is in your DNA.

Humans are more diverse than a single other species because we adapted to live all over the world. Humans who survived in Alaska didn't do it on fruit.

That's exactly the solution. Go be around people of various races and cultures until you stop seeing them as other or weird. Racism is very simple: it happens because people get stuck in a small circle of those who look like them and think like them. If everyone traveled around the world and interacted with people of all races and cultures, racism would disappear in a few generations. People deliberately segment themselves into like-minded enclaves in order to avoid expanding their sense of self and realizing their oneness with all beings. This is why people in major cities are less racist than those who live in the countryside. Because in a big city you are forced to interact with those who are different than you, but in the countryside you're living among your own kind, living in a racial/ethnic bubble. Basically, stopping wanting to cling to your own kind enough though that is what's more comfortable for your ego-mind.

@Bno Notice your attachment to this issue. My point is not about politics. It's about the attachments you're exhibiting. You are missing the point of what I said to you, because you're stuck on matters of content. I let people know about pundits' fallacies in a non-attached way, conscious of the relativity of my perspective. That is the crucial difference. You are on here pushing an agenda every week. It's a question of attachment vs detachment for your own perspective.

@Bno Dude, you have turned your political commentary into a dogmatic gripe. Let it go. The way you comment is not in the spirit of our work here. Free your mind of that shit. All this political stuff you must hold very loosely, otherwise it turns into just another ideology. The content of your ideology is irrelevant, what matters is that your mind is stuck on it. Our work here is not to find better content to cling to, but to go meta and become conscious of the relativity of all content held. When you become conscious of this, you stop judging and blaming people.

Reality is 100% direct! There is no how. Your looking for a how is the dualistic mistake. You are engaged in the process of asking what the Earth stands upon? Elephants. And what do the elephants stand upon? A turtle. And so on... This entire pursuit of elephants and turtles is misguided. There is just the Earth! No elephants or turtles. No how. 100% direct. Nothing is hidden. You need to realize that and stop chasing your tail.

You gotta start somewhere I guess. But such things feel childish to me these days. After a certain amount of mindfuckery you forget what used to count as a mindfuck years ago. If you think the double slit is a mindfuck, you're in for a rude awakening

Lol, that is his fundamental mistake. He's running away from himself with his philosophical work. And it's obvious just by looking at his neurotic ticks when he speaks. This is the problem with academic philosophy. All brains, no consciousness. The Truth is that there is no difference between inside and outside. But if Zizek would turn within, he'd discover God. Which is a problem for him, since he's an avowed atheist/materialist. So he keeps looking outside, forever lost in his own mind. @Dwarniel It's a great quote though, as it highlights the problem so starkly.

Yes, there are clues. Not sure if I'd call the double slit one of them. I guess it depends on how you interpret it.

No! It's all a hallucination.

It's not a physical blockage, it's an energetic blockage. How to deal with it I don't know. Reiki folks can do various healings on it but I don't know if that will be enough or not.

@seeking_brilliance You are trying to explain reality without awakening, and that will not work. No explanation will work because all explanations are dualistic. So try all you want, but you will always fail. The only solution is to awaken. There is a good reason why Zen masters do not answer your questions. Because all your questions are misguided attempts by the ego-mind to maintain its dualistic delusional reality. The solution to this problem exists on a new plane of consciousness from the one you're currently at. You will not be able to reason your way to that new plane.

You can do visualization exercises to practice feeling love for 5 or 10 mins every day.

I'm a lone wolf type guy so I avoid these issues simply by keep to myself and following my life purpose. If someone is being an ass to you, leave their company. If it's a boss or coworker, then that's more challenging but that's basically turning into workplace harassment. You should be able to speak to HR about that and get them to stop. If it's a friend, change friends. If it's a family member, move away from your family or confront them about it. If it's happening at school, just ignore the person and stay away from them.

No You are still making love too conditional because you are afraid of that unconditional love might hinder your survival. Have the courage to love yourself unconditionally, no matter what you do or don't do.
