Kambo will make you vomit your guts out. But that can be healing. You can use the search function to find some old threads about peoples' experiences with it. I wouldn't expect it to heal serious things like Alzheimers. But it might heal you at the mental/spiritual level, helping you shed some ego. Kambo is not a psychedelic at all. It is a poison. It's basically like deliberately getting bit by a snake just for the experience.

Yup! You got it. That's devilry.

You are consciousness itself and consciousness has infinite capacity for self-awareness precisely because it is itself.

When you are being aware that you are human, you are actually misunderstanding what you are. You are imagining that you are human, in the same way that you could imagine that you are a kangaroo. But that doesn't make you a kangaroo. Only in your mind. In fact, you are God. But you are too busy imagining you are human to notice this. The human obscures the God like clouds the sun.

You beat me to it! I was gonna post this to by blog tomorrow. You devil!

As you do more of this work you will become more compassionate with regards to the needless suffering of others. You need a heart awakening to really start to care about people. Most peoples' hearts are so closed and all they care about is themselves. But you cannot create a well-functioning and healthy community that way. Imagine a family in which no one cared about the others. It would be a toxic disaster.

@pregnantplatypuss Of course everything is ultimately Empty. But that doesn't mean you can't be passionate about your LP. But also, if you're first starting to become conscious of the existential Emptiness of life, that will likely rob you of motivation and make you depressed for a short period of time until you integrate it and the ego gets over it. A sense of meaninglessness and loss is a common egoic reaction to deep consciousness work. It will pass once you go deeper. It is one of the many threshold guardians which guard the deepest Truth. Trust that your sense of passion will come back even stronger once you fully awaken. But also be open to your passions changing and evolving. Maybe your passion for your current work will die completely but that's because some new greater passion with take its place. Be open to that. Remember, the ego will go through a period of mourning its own death. Just like it does with the death of a loved one. There is a period of resistance, emotional upheaval, depression, then acceptance, letting go, and moving on.

Of course authoritarianism exists precisely because it works. But it only works up to a certain point. At higher levels of consciousness it stops working and becomes counter-productive. So yes, at certain (low) levels of consciousness you have to be a dick to be successful. But at the highest levels of consciousness being a dick will not work. Not understanding that there are different levels of consciousness and that your followers have different levels of consciousness and different systems of values will make this guy's analysis and interviews incomplete. There are many different leadership styles which correspond to consciousness and values levels. Not to mention that you someone cannot escape being a dick if they are stuck in a certain level of consciousness. The leader himself has to grow massively to stop being authoritarian and yet remain effective. This is not easy to do for most people. Which is why its so rare and authoritarianism and abuse of power is so common.

LOL, oh the ignorance

You can become aware that a glass is half-empty, and then aware that the glass is half-full, and then aware that the glass is you.

Selfishness always works in the short-term but crumbles in the long-term because Truth is selfless and the self is false. It's the same reason life always ends in death. Death is Truth so it must always win out.

You guys love to play word games. When you are fully conscious that you are God, that is enlightenment/awakening. How long it lasts is irrelevant. It could last 1 minute or 100 years. For as long as you are conscious, you are awake. As soon as you are not conscious, you are asleep. If you are in doubt whether you're awake, you're asleep. If you have questions about what God is or means, you are asleep.

They are perfectly identical. God is that which has no self. Which makes it the One Absolute Self -- an infinite being that contains all beings.

Just no. It was created by people who actually seriously awoke. There is a clear difference between those who awoke and those who have not. Stop muddling the waters by saying everyone is woke.

Look at society like a family. If your mother got cancer, you would never leave her alone to die because she couldn't pay $2,000 month for her medication while you were swimming in cash and buying million dollar vacation homes and sports cars. You would not charge your mother $70,000 for treatment. It's just that simple. 60,000+ people die each year in America from lack of ability to pay for healthcare. Does that make any sense? Purely from a financial POV if these people didn't die think of how much tax money they would bring in over their lifetimes. It's idiotic for the government to let them die. The government is actually losing money on each death. Each person can bring in at least $5k to $10k in tax revenue each year. Not to mention the compassion angle.

I don't feel he deeply understands Green. Because he hasn't fully gone through it. He's very rationalistic, materialistic, and moralistic. His political positions are problematic when he does his whole Islamophobia thing and his race IQ thing. One of the hallmarks of Yellow is non-judgment and the ability to appreciate the relativity of different perspectives. Sam has some of that, but not too deep. Again, he def has some Yellow, but not 100% Yellow. It's pretty pointless splitting hairs over this. You're never going to know a person's entire Spiral profile. We're just making best guesses here.

@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.

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.

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.

Lol

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!

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?

Your suffering is not due to shallow breath, it's due to you attached to being you. Suffering is attachment to a finite self.
