@ugreglo Dude, you're WAY overthinking it. Sex happens all the time for the dumbest reasons. All you need to do is go out and talk to girls. Sex cannot happen while you sit at home on the internet. All your attention should be on going out of your house and being face to face with lots of new girls. That's it. Do not worry about anything else. If you put yourself in lots of social situations girls will want to sleep with you. Tons of girls will reject you. It doesn't matter. Don't even think about it. Get rejected 10 times a day and you will stop caring.

You can use research chems and other psychedelics like LSD, mushrooms, 4-AcO-DMT, DPT, etc. and accomplish an epic amount of consciousness work. Don't limit yourself to one substance. You don't need shamans.

As I have said elsehwhere, the "plan" is Infinite Love. Everything you see is what Infinite Love looks like, including all demons and devils. The plan is complete perfection and it is fully actualized at all times and in all places for eternity. You/God are Infnite Love. Here you are! Ta-da!

Oneness

@mandyjw In practice the mating game is a lot more brutal than your ideals. Nice guys and socially awkward guys aren't necessary fake. But you girls still don't like them. Attraction is not based on ideals or unconditional love. It is blind survival and there's nothing "fair" or "honest" about it. But hey, don't take my word for it. Discover for yourselves how mating works. If you observe it carefully you should see that it's pure selfishness on both sides. It can be quite disgusting when you really look into it. After all, you would not be mating at all if not for survival needs. Notice, you don't mate with your vacuum cleaner. Why not? Or maybe some of you do? But again, that would also be purely to satisfy your survival needs. For this reason the male and female perspectives on mating when never be fully reconcilable because they are not interested in truth or fairness, they are interested in maximizing survival while justifying it as truth. So the key here is to notice the self-bias of both sides. You and your partner are both biased and in denial about it.

Of course. I said learn to swim in both ends of the pool.

Also remember that girls are not saints. Fundamentally mating is about survival for both man and women alike. So of course you will be judged by how well you fit into the other's survival needs. Girls are not obligated to love you no matter how you are. If your authentic way of acting is to be serial killer or some creeper, girls will rightfully reject you. Being authentic does not guarantee any level of results. Usually when we say "be authentic" we assume you will be acting within certain norms and criteria which girls find valuable and attractive. It can be easy to fool oneself into thinking that one's neuroses, bad habits, lack of socialization, and egotistical quirks are "authentic". Ex: Farting when you feel like it might be authentic, but don't expect it to attract girls off the street.

@tenta To be fair to Yang, he's been stating for a while now that he agrees with "the spirit" of Medicare For All but not Bernie's exact implementation. Reasonable people can disagree about how best to implement universal healthcare. Bernie's plan doesn't have to be the only way. Although I think it's a good idea to kill private insurance because they drive up costs too much while adding zero value. A universal healthcare plan which does not have a mechanism for cutting out gluttonous corporate profits is not really a plan at all. The key problem is affordability and profiteering. It is not possible to cover 330 million people while maintaining existing corporate profit margins. The profit margins are what needs to be attacked via a populist movement.

@Apparition of Jack Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that China is your enemy. All enemies are projections of one's ego-mind.

Why would you think you're going backwards? Just because it's a difficult experience doesn't mean a damn thing. In fact, it means it's growing you -- the devil in you just doesn't like being purified. How did you think this awakening process would go? Did you really think you could awaken yet still keep the devil in you? And did you expect the devil to go quietly without bitching? Of course it's massively frustrating to awaken. Which is the only reason virtually nobody does it. Frustration is the cost of success.

Whoever you imagine.

@dimitri You imagine that too. Any meaning you give to the number 666 is your own doing. Why are you doing that? Why are you creating all this meaning? Think about it.

@dimitri No. Experience = imagination. There is nothing outside of imagination. Nothing exists unless you imagine it.

It's a sort of play. When you go to the movies, how come you care so much about what the characters are doing? You're there for fun. You know it's not real but you got nothing better to do. Yes, meaninglessness is a big paradox. It is difficult for the ego-mind, which has been addicted to constructing illusory meanings all its life, to suddenly operate without meaning. There is a difficult transition phase here which can last months or years, where the ego-mind will feel lost and directionless. But then you stabilize in emptiness and play. The point of life is PLAY! It's just like a video game. The mistake is that you take it too seriously because you are terrified of death and suffering. Imagine how bad video games would be if the main character was terrified of death? Well... that's you! Ta-da! Consider that life having zero meaning is the ideal situation. It gives you total freedom to play. It's an infinite sand box game this way. Otherwise you'd be a slave to some limited set of pre-baked meanings. This would make life boring and lame. YOU. ARE. GOD! Invent whatever the fuck you want. It's all your whim.

Stop assuming there ever was a dimitri character. There never was a dimitri. It is just a thought + feeling. Dimitri is imaginary. Like Santa Claus. Reality is happening without him. Think of it this way, if the thought and mental image of "I am Dimitri" never arose, he would not exist. When you think, "I am a man". That's imagination. When you think, "I am human." That's imagination. When you think, "This is my life." That's imagination. When you think, "I was born on...". That's imagination. When you think, "I am different from grandma." That's imagination. When you think, "Reality exists without me." That's imagination. When you think, "I am going to die." That's imagination. And when you think, "But I'm not imagining that!" That's imagination.

@FuriousGeorge Sounds like you're being way too logical with women. Make your conversations much more playful and nonsensical. Like playing with a child. Be childlike! Stop being like a professor. Learn to swim in both ends of the pool, not just the deep end.

Watch my video about The Role Of Balance In Personal Development. Balance is a tricky business. You cannot ever formalize it because it is dynamic. You might as well ask me, "So how do I balance myself on a unicycle?" By doing it. No one can tell you in words how to do it. You should expect to fall over many, many times before you master it. There is a very fine line between getting laid and being a sociopath

Of course words are arbitrary sounds. That's just how words work. There is nothing special about the letters "God", it's just something we human settled on. I could call it "pineapple" but that would confuse you even more. The way language works is that we establish a consensus about what difference words point to. Now you're trying to question this consensus and change it around willy-nilly. You can do that, but as soon as you do the entire language structure falls apart and becomes useless. So be careful about being too clever for your own good. Language is a pragmatic tool we use in this work. It can never reach the Absolute but it can point to it. Which is exactly what the word God does. It is a pointer. And it is a damn accurate pointer. Do not assume that this pointer was invented by fools. It was invented by geniuses much wiser than you. When you actually experience God, you will immediately understand why we call it God and not pineapple.

There is always a benefit to exploring different psychedelics. Each one shows you something unique and valuable. If all you learned was that 5-MeO-DMT is better for your aims than N,N-DMT, that would be a valuable lesson. But my guess is N,N-DMT will hold a lot more lessons for you than that. You never know what lessons you'll learn until you try.

Yes, but there is a big question as to what degree. In practice, even after decades of consciousness work you will still not have enough consciousness to turn a computer into a demon. You have to appreciate how sophisticated this imagination mechanism is. It literally IS physical reality. So it's not as easy to imagine things willy-nilly as you might naively expect. Your ability to manipulate physical reality for selfish purposes is tightly limited and regulated, otherwise a devil could really cause some damage. You are like an app running in a tightly controlled operating system environment. The OS does not grant you permission to access the most critical variables for your own safety. Otherwise you could easily kill yourself, blow up the world, or just go totally insane. The human life is a dumb-down kiddie pool, designed for morons so they don't accidentally kill themselves. And even so, many folks even manage to drown themselves in this knee-deep kiddie pool. You are far too selfish, unconsciousness, and unintelligent to be given full root access to reality. Actually, the only thing that's stopping you is your selfishness. It is impossible to have full root access as a finite self. Full root access is identical to infinite selflessness -- which you are incapable of in your human form. Full root access is only possible if you leave the human form forever. In fact, you would have to leave all form forever. To have full root access you'd need to become Absolutely Nothing. But then no one would even know you exist. You would be so all-powerful that you would totally remove yourself from physical manifestation. Which is to say, you would be so all-powerful your body would become identical to all physical manifestation. All of this is already the case, but right now you're stuck thinking you are a human. Until the day you wake up. Ta-da!

You could call it a kind of experience, but like a null experience. The experience of no experience or pure empty consciousness. It feels a lot like emptiness. It's so empty you cannot even feel it as being empty, because that's still not empty enough. "Experience" and "perception" are concepts which are already loaded with a hidden assumption of an experience and an experiencer. What you have thought of as "experience" your whole life is actually the body of God. Ultimately experience isn't experience. Experience is an improperly understood BEING. Being is not experienced or perceived. Being just is. You cannot get any more fundamental than Being. You cannot ask, "But who is experiencing Being?" Because at the level of Being there is no who and experience. You with a capital Y cannot be observed. YOU is! Again, "observation" is a loaded concept which assumes a subject/object duality which is illusory. Subjective/objective is a duality. We are talking about nonduality here, which means that you cannot ask if it is subjective or objective because there is no difference between anything in nonduality. What is a dream? A dream is when you think there is a difference between any two things, including the difference between a dream and not-a-dream. Is there a difference between a kangaroo and a refrigerator? If you said YES, then you're dreaming. You are dreaming that difference! The difference seems "real" precisely because you are dreaming it! A dream is when something, anything, seems "real". You are even dreaming the difference between "real" and "unreal". There is no such difference unless you dream it. Absolute Consciousness cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is not.

One and many are ONE! There is no difference between a single player game and a multiplayer game, unless you imagine there is. There is no difference between ANYTHING unless you imagine there is. From the absolute perspective there is no difference between a hotdog and the sun, no difference between Jesus and a cockroach. YOU ARE IMAGINING ALL DIFFERENCES! WAKE UP! It's not one or many. It's one = many.

Actually, I am

Your mind is imagining all of reality. If you start imagining devils enough, they will become real for you, just like anything else. Right now you are imagining that you are a human, sitting here reading this computer screen and interacting with another human called Leo. Demons are no different. Just replace "computer screen" with demon or whatever else you want. Of course in practice you do not have anywhere near enough control of your consciousness to alter what you are imagining right now. That would requires decades of consciousness work. Oneness means that anything you encounter in the world is your own imagination. Right now you are imagining me. You could also imagine a demon.

That he did. That he did. Unfortunately, of course, it won't fly. Too radical even for most Dems. At least for now. It will take some decades for the Overton window to shift on drug legalization. Legalizing weed nationwide is the first most important step. We're getting close. Should happen within the next decade.
