@assx95 Your current state of consciousness isn't allowing it. You must change your state.

I'm not making any argument at all. Chill.

@SerpaeTetra This has nothing to do with morals. It's a matter of misrepresentation of a teaching. And animals have been eating animals for energy for 2 billion years.

@assx95 That's what the occult arts & shamanism is all about. Our focus here is on God-realization, though, as it's superior.

Precisely

@The Don Lol <insert Picard facepalm>

I have no problem with exchange of money because teachers gotta eat. It takes a lot of time and work to coach people 1 on 1. Even if it was free, giving people false promises about instant enlightenment is problematic because if it doesn't work it sours the student's path. It makes students believe awakening must be easy so they stop working for it. The proper attitude to cultivate in students is one of hard work and disciplined practice. And if it happens easily and quickly for you, that will be a nice surprise. But don't count on it.

Luckily I found something more powerful that has low body load and feels delightful

@mandyjw That would be like me selling snake oil and then when you come back and complain that it didn't work I would tell you that it's your fault for not having enough faith in it. This is a classic bullshit marketing tactic and it should not be accepted because it gives spirituality a bad name. Someone will go to Fred, fail to instantly awaken, and then start to believe that it's all BS or that something is wrong with her, when in fact this is the normal result.

@VeganAwake His teachings are good. But the way he sells and markets them as instant easy enlightenment is a problem. It is just not true. Fred cannot awaken any given random person, but he acts like he can. This is what I have a problem with.

I have warned people of the dangers of misusing psychedelics. I feel that my descriptions of psychedelics have been fairly accurate. I don't sell them as some easy solution.

@Hypnofrik The thing is, hypnosis is already one step too far. Awakening literally requires nothing. Anything you add takes away from it. All you must do to awaken is sit totally still and be fully present of the NOW for very long periods of uninterrupted time. Your mind must go as quiet as possible. Just total stillness and focus. You might be able to use hypnosis to quiet the mind and focus it on the present moment. But then just sit there and be present. It takes a lot of presence. So much presence you start to hallucinate a bit and your visual field goes wavey. Mental activity and lack of focus is the number obstacle to awakening. Anything you do to try to hasten the process is mental activity, which slows down the process. So it's about learning how to get out of your own way. Or just take a psychedelic.

Death

Don't fooled by his marketing. Nothing instant about it. He loves to bullshit about how fast it is. Yet he doesn't mention all the cases in which it fails to work. And he cherrypicks clients who already have years and decades of experience. It's extremely misleading and irresponsible.

Plenty of monstrous people in the world. This isn't a moral judgment. It just basically means they're deep lost in ego with no hope of salvation until physical death. It all depends on the scope of your vision and time frame. In the short-term there will be lots of suffering due to climate change. But in the long-term I'm not too worried about it. Mankind will adapt and grow. Most people don't think more than 50 years ahead and they have no deep understanding of the evolutionary potential of mankind. They tend to assume mankind is a static thing that will just do the same stuff as now. No! Mankind will massively evolve in consciousness, technology, and society in the next 100-500 years. Mankind will become unrecognizable, we will evolve so much.

Hotel room for sure. Give yourself plenty of time. Take the whole day off to yourself.

Again, I have to caution you guys, you're getting yourself into an epistemic quagmire by taking these linear scales too seriously. There are far more dimensions to consciousness work than any linear scale can capture. You're gonna mislead yourselves.

No he can't. Nothing can. The opposite of Love is impossible. Haha, it sure seems that way from your POV. But in fact necessity dictates Infinite Love. To not make a distinction between good and evil IS Infinite Love. You haven't realized that yet.

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.
