Style of thought and speech is not just something one can change on a whim. I am not going to turn myself into a neutral AI. If anything, I want to not be an AI.

Never. I don't know that these two are miserable. I can see then enjoying their lives. These two seem pretty miserable but in way too deep. There's no getting through to them at all. Hard to know what his inner life is like. Seems like he's desperate to be liked by others, but who knows.

It doesn't.

This makes the conversation pointless. Yeah, you can get them to hold a concept of an infinite universe. And so what?

Remember that Trump is a fake billionaire, and he knows it. So he craves to be around real billionaires because it makes his fantasy feel more real. And what could be more flattering to his ego than being friends with "the world's richest man". It's all about the narcissistic supply. Trump is cosplaying his ultimate ego fantasy of wealth, power, and fame.

Just because you explain it to them, and it enters their ears, doesn't mean they fathom its significance. They certainly won't understand it.

You're looking for a guarantee of safety and there's just no having it. You could surrender and horrible things happen to you. That's the whole Jesus story. True surrender would involve accepting that. You accept what's true, which is that you just don't know how the future will unfold. But keep in mind that non-surrender, resistance, also does not guarantee you any future safety. Practically, I would suggest you do your surrender in babysteps, a bit more each time. Rather than trying to do it all at once. That way you can see if it's right for you. Also, I suggest that rather than playing into some fantasy of surrender and the future, what you surrender to is just Truth, which is the present state of consciousness. Don't even think about the future. Truth itself has a healing power. And Truth is found NOW. This makes surrender much more obvious and easy because there is no sense whatsoever resisting the NOW, since it's already here. This make surrender very obvious and natural.

You are right that my style has been harsh which is why I have been softening it lately. But it's still not going to ever be that Rupert Spira style. I don't like soft and sweet styles of teaching because they do not properly represent the difficulty and seriousness of this work. It's like someone talking sweetly about war. But I know my style is offputting to plenty of people.

This is wild:

Sorry to spoil it for ya'll, but all the world's greatest monuments were personally built by my family. Ya'lls ancestors are a bunch of lazy losers.

A crucial part of this work is developing finacial freedom so you can be independent of culture and people. If you're broke then you are at the mercy of corrupt and unconscious people.

@Davino Don't tell a suicidal person to do salvia! For fuck's sake. Salvia is nightmare fuel.

@Rishabh R My work is for motivated individuals. Anyone in the world can do the work as long as they care about it. It will be harder to do the work in less developed nations, but still doable. Any mind can break free of any dogma as long as it wants to.

Do not make this thread a debate about her awakening.

Dude, check yourself before you wreck yourself

A powerful tool in the hands of the wise leads to great good. A powerful tool in the hands of a corrupt fool leads to the end of the world.

I'm not going to tell you what to watch. You figure that out.

Yeah, say more. What happened with you?

He's got like 10 million subscribers. I'm not good at making snappy, sexy, quick. popular videos. That's not my style or something I'm passionate about. This is like asking Albert Einstein to make a lecture on the quantum mechanics of cute cats in 10 minutes.

He is in a very different place than me. I have spoken to him in private and I know this personal situation. He has been suicidal and depressed and struggling for a long time now. He is at serious risk of harming himself. The only reason he's taking psychedelics is because he's exhausted other options and he's stuck. He is trying to use psychedelics to solve his depression because other ways have failed him. He is also in this battle alone and he needs some outside social support.

No because it's just impossible. There's only so much that the Trump admin can control. They can control official channels but they cannot control the whole internet or intellectual media space. Freedom of speech can go away inside the Federal departments. But then there will be leaks. You can't stop speech.

This should go into the Self-Bias hall of shame.

I'm not chasing for a big audience. Mostly my audience reduced because YouTube changed their algorithms so much that they cut my new subscribers down from 20,000/mo at the peak down to basically 1000/mo now. That's just because Google is chasing profit maximization and my videos will never be able to compete with popular clickbait. YouTube cut my exposure by something like 20x-50x since I started. I was expecting this. Much of my success was based on the fact that I was on YouTube very early, before it got flooded with grifters and clickbaiters. My work is meant to be niche.

It's not supposed to cure a MAGA voter. It's supposed to shape the next generation of thinkers. The MAGA voter is already dead to me. He's not my audience.

@Tristan12 Please be careful man. You're worrying me. You need to seek outside help for your situation. This psychedelic path will easily turn into an addiction here.
