I think Bernie will be able to keep his cool and break Trump down with common sense logic, calling out his policy failures. All Trump can do is call him a socialist. It should make Trump look dumb.

@DLH Too much 4D chess.

I don't think the debates will matter at all. Trump is not going to gain any more supporters and he will not lose any current supporters either. So all a debate will do is entrench both sides. Trump may even refuse to do a debate. Although it might be too tempting for his ego to stay away from the spectacle.

Lol You should read the book on my book list about North Korea.

True dat.

If spirituality is taking you away from actuality, you're doing it backwards. Maybe trying pursuing actuality and you will find yourself being spiritual.

Everything is nothingness. So that's a moot point. Self and other are one. But how you treat "others" can vary. Like light shining through a dirty window.

God does not play dice There is nothing random about evolution, mutation, or DNA. "Random" is just a word scientists invented for their ignorance.

Maybe one hair of the Ox's tail. Maybe.

I predict Trump loses in a humiliating landslide to Bernie.

As soon as you feel anger, get directly underneath it by asking the question, "How have I been hurt here?" The anger is a false mask for hurt. Become conscious of the hurt and sit with it. Allow yourself to feel hurt. The crucial mistake is trying to be invulnerable. Be vulnerable. That is what's true. All finite forms are vulnerable.

Reality is not made out of particles. It is groundless. You cannot ground it in anything because any ground would be itself. Again, Oneness. There is only one miracle: Oneness

@mandyjw Yup, now you're getting it.

Those weird experiences open your rigid mind. Which is crucial in this work. How can you hope to master consciousness when you don't even want to explore it?

What would constrain it? Can't you see that if a thing is ONE, it can have no constraints. No bad, only Good. Bad is your mind judging.

@Llight You speak of things you do not understand.

@Dylan Page Keep thinking about.

I got tired of 5-MeO-DMT and for the sake of science decided to explore other things in hopes of finding something better.

@Llight There is no you and there is no control.

He had some tiny mystical experience but that doesn't mean he understands enlightenment proper. I have a much better understanding of the traps of this work and communicate that. Of course that still doesn't make the process fool-proof. But my teachings are far more advanced and accurate than JP's. Again, not that my teachings are necessarily perfect. Yes, all teachings are relative, but some are better than others. Especially if we're talking about advanced topics like overcoming suffering or understanding God. Very few people understand such topics accurately. A large audience compounds the danger of ignorance and ideology. If JP had a small audience I'd be much less hard on him. Devil is a technical term in my lexicon. Demon means something else to me. To me a demon is an actual demon-looking entity. A non-human. Devil is the right term because it implies deception and trickery. Which is what we're mostly dealing with in this work. Devil is also the opposite of God, which is exactly what the ego is. It's a very powerful term once you get a handle on it.

@Dylan Page And I'm saying you're taking it for granted. It's like you have a favorite dog and you're asking us to tell you why you should feed it rather than letting it starve to death. In this era of Trump and nationalist movements all over the world you still haven't learned how fragile democracy is??? You are definitely asking for a whipping.

No I have not used 5-MeO-DMT in a long time.

Lol You should go spend a few months in North Korea. Nothing helps the mind understand a thing like some old fashioned tyranny. You don't know what you got until you've lost it.

Just keep in mind, freebase gets you 15% more bang for your buck
