  1. @Endangered-EGO Your notion of winning or losing debates is silly. Truth and consciousness are not things to be debated at all. Yes, Sam Harris is more developed than JP and of course Ben Shaprio. But Sam has plenty of Orange yet in him, and he is certainly not awake. But yes, he has a good deal of Yellow in him. But Yellow is not that high when we are talking about things like truth, consciousness, love, God, nonduality, spirituality, etc. Yellow is still childhood. Sam Harris is very moralistic and does not understand relativity. So he hasn't fully integrated Green.
  2. It's very simple. To be fully enlightened is to realize you are God and that you create the entire universe. If you're not conscious of that, you ain't really enlightened. If there is even one hair of separation between you and God, you're not fully awake. How you act towards others is a tangential matter. Enlightenment is not about behavior or action, it's about consciousness of what you are. You're either conscious that you are God or you're not.
  3. There are many degrees of it, for sure. But I've also experienced what I would call a "full awakening". I think extremely few people have experienced it. Most gurus, teachers, and masters have not. I don't know any teacher who I consider fully awake.
  4. Your questions are directly part of the field of philosophy. Psychology will never even attempt to answer what existence is. But academic philosophy will also never succeed in answering what existence is. That can only be done via awakening. You created existence. So who are you asking? You are it!
  5. If you truly, fully awake, then yes. But that's so challenging and rare that you are better off working directly on your social anxiety. True and full awakening has the potential to cure everything. But are you willing to full awaken? Do you dare?
  6. Your suffering is not due to shallow breath, it's due to you attached to being you. Suffering is attachment to a finite self.
  7. You have tons to work on there. You're overlooking the obvious. That is your skill set. You can do it and you can get very creative with it. Your thinking here is just too narrow and materialistic. Abstract is good. Gives you lots of creative room. Your mind is just lazy with being creative. It's like you've been given a blank canvas and you are complaining there's nothing to work with. Own your passions and get to work.
  8. Your foolish expectations are not my problem, they are yours.
  9. Of course real science relies on anecdotal evidence all the time. That's what clinical trials are. It's just very rigorous. But many fools have no idea how real science works. But yet, many scientists are far too dismissive of any modality which doesn't have a simply material physical explanation. So they will accept anecdotal evidence for a new chemical drug, but they will not for something like acupuncture.
  10. My brother got married off OkCupid. So of course it can work. But if you don't have the look or you want to get the best girl possible, online isn't a good strategy. If your look is above average or your standards are low, yes, you can gets plenty of dates online. But you can attract much hotter girls in person. The hottest girls are not found online.
  11. No! Do not even think of doing that. Opioid treatment requires a large flood dose. If you get the dose wrong you will kill yourself. This is no joke. Iboga is not like other psychedelics. You can kill the body with this one.
  12. Don't listen to people's opinions about psychedelics unless they've done 50+ trips. You might as well be asking him his opinion about how it's like to live on Mars.
  13. To be technical about it, there is no difference between life being a dream and life being real. Reality = dream So you can say the glass is half full or half empty and both are right. He is just telling you the glass is half full.
  14. Nothing comes close to ibogaine for opioid withdrawal. Ibgaine resets the brain's opioid receptors effortlessly. Tell her to fly to Canada, Mexico, or Costa Rica to an ibogaine clinic. Ibogaine must be administered by a nurse. You cannot do it at home.
  15. Survival is a great excuse for not awakening, eh? But I get it.
  16. This is totally true because online dating is 100% about looks. Nothing else matters. When you post a pic of yourself online, that's all you're reducing yourself down to. If you are not a classically handsome guy, this is a terrible strategy for you because you are not displaying your other great qualities. Your strategy must be to get hot girls in-person with your personality, not your looks. Girls respond very differently in-person. Online is the lazy man's game. If you are lazy with game, don't be surprised when your results look lazy too. The bulk of a man's attractiveness is in his personality and the life he's built. So to reduce yourself to a profile pic is like selling a diamond at a dollar store.
  17. In practice you will be so busy just surviving in the wilderness that you will have very little time for true meditation. Meditation requires completely detaching from survival. So it's actually easier to do in a well furnished home where most of your survival needs are easily handled. Ideally you'd have someone else even cook your food, so you don't get distracted. Even taking a shit is a distraction. Notice just how much survival distracts you. Of course if you just love camping or want to do it professionally, by all means. But don't confuse that with consciousness work.
  18. There is. Take a psychedelic with the intention to become conscious of all your projections, assumptions, and judgments. And be ready for a beating. And while you're at it, become conscious of what "other" is. You may be shocked to discover that other itself is nothing but your projection.
  19. Here's a very basic fact to contemplate: If these things did not work for some people, they would not exist. The trick is finding out if they work for your particular problem. They may, or may not. It depends on hundreds of factors. And the only way you'll know is by testing it yourself. Health issues can be very, very complex.
  20. Alien corpse or it didn't happen!
  21. @robinmk4l Shrooms will more than knock your socks off. But 5-MeO-DMT is beyond words. Shrooms have no limit to their potency. You can eat as much as your stomach can hold and trips forever higher. Your mind will not be able to handle it. So there's no glass ceiling potency-wise. The ceiling is your fragile mind. Shroom are quite challenging at higher doses. Otherwise psychedelics like 5-MeO-DMT are easier because they are clearer. Shrooms can be wacky, twisted, and confusing. But everyone needs to experience shrooms at least a few times in their life. They have a very magical earthy mystical quality.
