People on welfare and disability will receive 1 ice cream bar instead of the standard 3. You also must pay a 20% VAT when buying the box. And if you get a brain freeze, no free healthcare for you. Zing!

@SoothedByRain I would not rely on scientists to make predictions about mankind's and society's evolution. They are not qualified to speak about vision. Yes, some of the problems will be bad, but don't underestimate our creative capacity and our capacity to adapt. As things get worse mankind will be forced to wake up and rise to the occassion. Our biggest problem lately is that life has gotten so easy people are getting complacent. A climate crisis will force people to get seriously engaged rather than taking things for granted. It's like with Trump. Yeah, he's a monster, but it's forcing people to take government seriously again. We got too complacent.

This is explained in the video: What Is Love? - Part 2 Can you see that for a Hitler to exist, God would have to be unconditionally loving to allow that? If you had a son and he wanted to become Hitler, it would take infinite love for you to allow him to follow through on that and still love him despite all the suffering and hurt you know he will cause. AND STILL you love him afterwards! That's true love. Giving someone the freedom to be whoever they want to be -- even if they want to be a mass murderer -- is true love. Infinite Love = Infinite Freedom A selfish person cannot allow true freedom because he's too scared that its consequences might kill him. If God prevented the possibility of Hitler, God would become a selfish devil, which God cannot ever do because God has infinite consciousness and would never allow for anything less than Infinite Love to exist. So Infinite Love cannot exist if Hitler cannot exist. This is all very counter-intuitive to a selfish person. Luckily God has no self, so it has no problem executing it.

I was making important clarifications, not for my sake but to clear up confusion in the minds of readers. Sometimes people misunderstand why I do or say certain things. Criticize away. It is good to have feedback. I'm always looking for quality feedback, and checking for blind-spots. See, again, this is an important clarification to make because people get the wrong idea that I'm not open to feedback or that I'm set in my ways. To hold such a view is a misunderstanding of my work. I want you guys to drill it into your minds that you should always be checking yourself for blind spots, as I do. You need the capacity to receive feedback and check your own positions. Sometimes people get the wrong idea that I'm an absolutist simply because I speak with confidence about having become conscious of the Absolute. But I'm not an absolutist at all. It's tricky to teach these epistemic principles because people simply don't do any epistemic inquiry, so everything just devolves into beliefs and positions for them. I don't really care about being wrong because being wrong is how I grow.

It's just a difference of perspective. Doesn't mean they are Blue or Red. People at Yellow and Turquoise can still have disagreements. Clearly they disagreed with my embellishments of Spiral Dynamics. But from my POV, I never care about staying true to any one model or system, I care about improving on them.

You'll survive 2 degrees of temperature change over 50-100 years. And with new technology much damage can be reversed in the next 500 years. We can blanket the entire planet in trees if we wanted to. Humans will start terraforming the Earth and controlling its climate. Fundamentally there is no limit. We are nowhere near tapping out the potential of Earth. If the evolution of Earth & mankind were a computer progress bar, we'd be stuck at the 1% mark.

Just keep in mind that in WWII some 40 million people were killed. During the Black Death, some 1/3rd of Europe was wiped out. Global warming pales in comparison to those numbers. Humanity can take a beating and survive. Our species is not fragile. The Earth itself is even less fragile. Yes, we need bold climate action, but also don't get gloomy.

@Shaun You're just not understanding this work and having an ego backlash about it. It's okay, but notice that what you're doing is not coming from a loving and genuine place. If you disagree with my teachings, that's fine. Just move on. Don't waste your time "exposing", "debunking", etc. This is all ego games and will create bad karma for you. Trying to ruin people with whom you disagree is a really low move. As you go deeper in this work your mind will have many backlashes and look for all sorts of distractions to avoid doing the inner work. Yes, this work can make the ego feel depressed or suicidal at times. This is normal for brief periods and not to be indulged. It can be depressing to lose the entire web of meanings which the ego has constructed over a lifetime. Be careful not to underestimate the depth of the things we talk about here. As I say, this is very advanced stuff. There are many ways the ego-mind can warp and twist these teachings. This work requires great care.

@Javfly33 It's not as simplistic as just changing or removing beliefs. Of course beliefs play an important role, but there are many other factors. Other factors might include but are not limited to: Your state of consciousness New experiences Making new distinctions Diet, exercise, physical body, vitamins, hormonal imbalances New knowledge, insights, & understanding Changing how you interpret things

Then for you this case is closed.

Well that's refreahing to hear. It'd be nice if more teachers spoke from experience about them. Tired of hearing spiritual teachers poo-poo psychedelics as though they are irrelevant.

I bet there's a lot of Blue left in Australia in the rural parts. The Aussies have a stick up their ass about violent video games, which seems to be rooted in stage Blue conservatism.

@aklacor727 You cannot trust hearsay in this work. If it's not part of your direct experience, it isn't real.

Locked for being verbal verbal diarrhea. Stop asking stupid questions and do some work.

No, psychedelics can give you some amazing glimpses, but they will not do this kind of bodily transformation which takes decades of daily training. But then again, ordinary meditation and even awakening experiences themselves will also not give you this kind of super-natural degree of bodily transformation. You're asking for something which extremely few people have ever achieved via whatever methods. The only person who has a chance of achieving this is a full-time monk who has no life other than meditation/yoga. So even talking about such things is almost pointless because no one who is connected to the internet will ever achieve it. If you need guidance on how to achieve it, you will never achieve it.

5-MeO-DMT by itself will not be enough to create the kind of embodiment you will want. It's awesome for peak breakthroughs though.

I have never advocated a psychedelics only path. I talk about a lot of techniques besides psychedelics.

What people often overlook is that corruption is a relative and system thing. In a systemically under-developed country like Bolivia there's no hope of electing a perfectly uncorrupt leader. It's a matter of gradual improvement. That's a deeply stage Blue country which has a lot of growing pains ahead.

@dvdas Being wrong in this work is simply unavoidable. The only thing you can do is work to minimize it and make consant corrections. It's just like sceince in this regard. You cannot ever have perfect science. It's a neverending evolutionary process. If you expect perfection you will never go anywhere in life.

Any sufficiently complex thing should in theory be capable of awakening, assuming its got an ego to begin with. That's my best guess so far. It's still an iffy area for me. I don't see why compters cannot one day develop egos. But we are very far from that. Current AI is not even in the right ballpark. Everything is made of consciousness. Just different configurations of it.

It's nothing personal. It's not like I hate WinterKnight. It's just that I won't allow a teacher to use my platform to teach things I clearly know are mistaken. It would be like allowing someone to enter a Zen temple and set up shop in the corner, teaching the opposite of Zen. Obviously that would not be tolerated. In such a case, go set up your own school. Then you can teach whatever you want. No school tolerates all perspectives equally. The whole point is to exclude false teachings. Who gets to decide what is a false teaching? The one who runs the school. How else could it be?

Femininity is attracted to masculinity. Being nice does not exude masculine essence. Which is not to say there's anything wrong with being nice. Just don't expect it to make a girl wet. Women get attracted by boldness, confidence, and assertiveness. And other things, like wit and humor.

You are! For fuck's sake. You are God asleep at the wheel, and then you wonder why things go wrong. It is absurd what you're doing.

@WHO IS You create your own hell, since you are God but don't know it.

@erik8lrl Great! You got it! But also keep in mind that 2 days after a trip is still the honeymoon phase. So don't be surprised if you fall back into duality and ego. And your work is still not complete. There is much more to become conscious of. This is only the beginning of your development, not the end.
