3g can be pretty intense. Dial is back.

A much smaller extent than most alt-rigthers and progressives believe. Propaganda is a very sneaky and subtle force. It is not done consciously in most cases. It is unconscious. For propaganda to be most effective the people who manufacture it have to convince themselves that it isn't propaganda. They have to be true believers. CNN and MSNBC does not manufacture propaganda. They are simply an echo-chamber for mainstream American culture. Which is the propaganda/establishment. Everybody on these networks believes they are being objective, accurate, and truthful. Progressives make a huge mistake when they think that mainstream media is deliberately lying. That's a progressive projection which arises out of not understanding that people can hold different worldviews, and all worldviews are relatively valid. The progressive worldview is not "truth", as progressives assume. It is a relative fabrication. But of course, to understand this means transcending stage Green.

@traveler But notice, it is possible to go to Australia and pet some kangaroos

Life IS Love. There is nothing to do here but love. Anything else is lunacy. Is it scary to love so deeply? Of course! It's terrifying. But you are only here to learn how to love. You have about 85 years of practice.

Just keep in mind fasting can seriously hinder your ability to do everyday functions. The deeper your fast, the less you do. This can be a positive or a negative depending on your goals. There is probably be periods where you feel really weak and shitty.

Yes And to go to Australia you'd have to imagine it first. But notice, you are NOT in Australia. Unless you are Yes! It would create suffering as you would know you are disconnected from God's highest form. But that's preciaely what would then drive you to higher God-realization. As some Buddhist master once said, "Yes, end your seeking. But not too soon!" You imagine this And so it is. Unfortunately sticking your head in the sand about infinite consciousness does not make you infinitely conscious. You are settling for something less. Nothing wrong with that. You can also settle for being an egomanic. That too is fine. Who wants to stop being an egomanic? Raising consciousness necessarily creates its own suffering. And yet we do it.

I think this is the norm. Evolved leaders are rare and they often go unappreciated, kicked out, jailed, or killed. Devils will not follow an angel. Devils want to follow one of their own. This is fundamentally why great selfless leadership is rare. Selfish people cannot handle a selfless leader. To a selfish person a selfless person looks like a devil. Because a devil preceives selflessness as evil. Because a devil sees falsehood as truth and truth as falsehood, good as evil and evil as good.

Of course they do! That's what I mean by their bias. What must be understood is that this is a function of culture. CNN operates within a culture. American culture as a whole defines the playing field for large business. A large business can only survive and thrive if it serves the larger mainstream culture, which is stage Orange. To achieve this, CNN must hire Orange employees, anchors, and managers. So CNN is fully enmeshed in the larger matrix of American culture. In this sense CNN has an establishment stage Orange bias. Not because they want to manufacture propaganda but because they are children of the larger culture and so they end up reinforcing it unwittingly. They paint Bernie as negative because he is too different to what they are used to, and they don't have a good sense of vision into the next level of where culture is headed. It is not in their financial interest to have a progressive vision. When we are talking about Sanders winning, we are really talking about changing culture, which is very hard to do because culture has homeostasis. Culture resists change. So of course mainstream media will not be embracing Bernie with hugs and kisses. They will look at him skeptically and dismissively. Why would a successful CNN anchor who lives a good life and works his ass off to build his career risk rocking the boat? He reinforces the culture which allowed him to be successful. This is just survival 101. You might as well be asking him to put a gun to his head. But Sander's job is to bust through all that resistance. That's why evolution is hard and slow. It's not because of evil eiltes per se. The evil elites are just children of the deeper problem, which is the culture.

The problem is that anything is a valuable experience after the fact. But some experiences can be traumatic. I would be extremely cautious with salvia. It can traumatize you. You have no idea how radically it will mindfuck you. We are talking madness territory. You will enjoy other psychedelics far more. Why traumatize yourself? Take some LSD and enjoy yourself.

@traveler You are either infinitely conscious or you are not. And I gauarantee you are not. Otherwise you could not be here talking to me. It's important to realize that you are not infinitely conscious right now. But you could be. Infinite consciousness is highly extraordinary.

That's right. Because from God's POV there is no difference between anything. Hence no judgment is possible.

Yes, it is unknown. But this ordinariness state is not infinite omniscience.

DMT, DPT, 5-MeO-DMT, salvia Hardly no tolerance and perhaps even reverse-tolerance. Be careful. You can get in over your head.

It is freaky in ways that are not necessarily good or pleasant. It's total mindfuckery.

I haven't noticed any degradation in quality if it's kept in a dry, dark place. You can vacuum seal it if you want very long term storage. Although it will keep for years even without that. Chemicals are generally very stable. Active peyote has been found in thousand year old tombs. I would not partition 1g into 100mg bags. 1g is not a lot to begin with. You will lose material on each plastic bag as it clings.

Of course it can. The question is how effective will it be and how deep will it go? All that will vary.

Of course I think it is all progress. Progress requires solidification of previous stages to create a stronger foundation. That's what's happening. It's like compacting earth before you start building the house. Covid is the deathblow to libertarianism.

Bottom line is: it changes your state of consciousness. Your current state of consciousness is totally inadequate for spiritual understanding. You need some way to change your state, whether that be psychedelics, concentration, fasting, breathing, whatever.

@meow_meow Happy to hear it, bro But you have no idea yet how good is gets.

Yes, I pointed this out in my latest blog video. Except there is a difference. America and Russian are in different developmental positions. And Trump is a moron who is making America weaker. For Russians, Putin is a pretty decent president. For Americans, Trump is a shitty president. We can do much better.

His greatest con was convincing the public that he's a billionaire. That was a pretty epic con job which then earned him millions. Don't forget, he inherited and burned through $400 million.

Case in point: George W Bush The guy was a buffoon. Since most Americans are stupid and grossly uninformed, it's not so hard to fool them into voting for a fool just like them. Russia has evolved enormously and is in its best shape ever. You take for granted how terribly underdeveloped Russia was 100 years ago, or even 30 years ago. The living conditions for Russians have improved significantly since the early 1990s under Putin's leadership. Russia is now once again becoming a player on the world stage. You have to see this from Russia's POV, not yours. Putin is looking out for Russia's survival. Which is exactly what most Russians want. They want more world power and wealth. They don't want to be bullied by Americans.

No it isn't. That's stage Red. Serious business leaders are not con-artists. They're actually good at creating value and results and getting shit done. They run successful companies which build real things. Trump is incapable of that. He's too selfish and ignorant for that. He's only capable of bullshitting his way through life. Putin is a very competent manager and mastermind administrator.

That's classic con-artistry. He has fooled you into thinking he's rich. He's just a con-artist skating by through life on other people's dimes.

Very necessary if you want to be fully whole and not dysfunctional. Don't forget that many of those Buddhist monks are dysfunctional people regardless of how enlightened they are. Awakening requires a lot of processing of your internal emotional baggage. The more baggage you have, the more you'll have to process to reach ultimate peace. Working out your emotional baggage is one of the most useful things you can do in life. It is a mistake to suppress emotional and psychological stuff by deciding to just bull your way through to enlightenment. You can bull your way through to enlightenment (maybe), but you will have a lot of inner work to do afterwards. The macho Zen approach is not that effective for most people. Most people need a softer, more emotional, more holistic approach.
