  1. Meditation still has enormous value because you cannot be hopped up on psychedelics all the time. Psychedelics should be done rarely. Like 1-5% of your life. The other 95%+ of the time you will be sober and you'll want to boost your sober state with manual techniques like meditation or yoga. Regardless, you need to develop the ability to just sit and do nothing for 60 minutes straight, and to concentrate your mind for 60 mins straight. These are crucial skills to develop for anyone doing self-actualization.
  2. Think about it, why aren't medical records disclosed to employers? If someone had cancer, shouldn't the employer be told about it so that they could reject such an employee? You can see how problematic that would be.
  3. I can confirm that it is certainly impossible. You ain't gonna reach a salvia or DPT state even after 40 years of meditation. Psychedelics states are so intense, powerful, and diverse that you will never access all of them without pumping your brain full of new chemicals. Through meditation perhaps you can access 1% of the full range of psychedelic states. This doesn't make meditation bad. It's still an important practice. But don't fool yourself into thinking you'll access a DMT, DPT, or saliva breakthrough via meditation. You will not. Also, don't confuse ego-death, samadhi, and awakening with the full range of possible states of consciousness. The range of states that consciousness can take is astounding in its diversity and intensity.
  4. I found this online course specifically for INTPs & INTJs: https://personalityhacker.com/intx Can't speak to whether it's worth it or not, but seems promising. - - - - - - Seems like us INTPs have a unique challenge with awakening & meditation because we love to use our minds so much. It's harder for us to shut down our minds because we are so creative and philosophical.
  5. Of course it's a tough call. Which is why these issues remain unsolved.
  6. @Preety_India It's fundamentally discriminatory. People are capable of changing and outgrowing their past. The criminal already served his time. No need to punish him further after that unless you want him to stay a criminal -- which will come back to bite you.
  7. @Codrina By "darkness" you simply mean lack of development, lack of consciousness, fear, ignorance, attachment, and bad habits.
  8. It's a good point that perhaps criminal records should not be disclosed to employers.
  9. No, it's the imagination that you experienced something. You didn't experience your childhood, you are imagining that you experienced it.
  10. Facebook is not undermining democracy. It's the devils who exploit it. Any online platform will be exploited for personal gain.
  11. That would be an example of doing it irresponsibly. Not to mention that that comes off as desperate, needy, creepy, and dysfunctional. You would never send someone you hardly know sexual messages or pictures. That is analogous to whipping your dick out at a bar.
  12. Then there will be entire bot-nets hired to dislike and take down content. The YT algorithm actually counts dislikes as a boost to the video's popularity and visibility. Go take a look at the dislike ratio on a Justin Beiber video.
  13. It's okay to date people you meet from your job. You just have to do it carefully and responsibly. It is possible to abuse it, but not every instance is automatically abusive.
  14. The problem is that whoever polices Facebook will be doing it from some stage of the Spiral, which will piss off the rest of the Spiral below Yellow. It's a game that can't be won. 3 billion people are not all gonna agree on how to police Facebook. Each faction will feel it is being oppressed or biased against.
  15. Awakening on camera is a challenge because it reinforces a sense of other and gets one in one's head. It becomes a distraction from going deep within. At some point he's gonna have to realize that he is talking to himself and that there's no one here but him to awaken. Best of luck to him. Not easy stuff. Hopefully he isn't doing it for the views and attention.
  16. Lol How convenient! It's going to screw up the student. Lots of needy and ignorant students will come to the guru for attention and love. It does not serve them for the guru to sleep with them. It's like a therapist sleeping with his clients.
  17. Working great. Is this is a joke? Without government intervention black people would still be lynched and caged.
  18. Lol Notice how stuck your mind is on this. Don't blame your stuckness on me.
  19. @Brahman Nice! Thanks for the write-up.
  20. @Plip That's why when you run a scientific experiment you should only change one variable at a time. Now you have to test it again while controlling all the other variables. 5-MeO is super potent by itself. Stop mixing it with other shit.
