Nope, that will not stop survival.

Namaste

@Lauritz Bewer Survival is dirty. Part of growing up is accepting that.

Because people are horny dogs! Just like you. Don't overthink it Remember, survival does not stop after enlightenment. The only way to escape survival is to jump off a cliff.

@Yog Lol

Lol So classic

@Phoenixx You don't know what you're talking about. Be here to learn, not to preach your half-baked understandings of God. If you create any separation whatsoever between you/God, that's a duality.

It goes even deeper. There is no difference between fake and real. The universe cannot tell what is fake, since everything, even fake things, have to be imagined by consciousness, otherwise they would no be at all. In other words, fake tits are still real, and real tits are just a dream

Remember that consciousness is pure imagination. It can be highly symbolic and abstract. Eyes are like an archetype.

No There is a subtle duality in this framing because it assumes that there are "things" which are conscious. Nothing is conscious. There is only consciousness and various illusions of things being conscious. This framing of "things can be conscious" is a distortion of the ego. Consciousness is prior to things. So things cannot have consciousness. Things are imagined by consciousness. The ocean holds fish. Fish are not born with their own private oceans.

Dry insight tends to work very poorly in my experience. The key function of psychedelics is to lube up the mind, placing it in a deep samadhi state from which profound insight becomes almost effortless. Psychedelics are samadhi in a pill.

All my trips have been solo.

Yes

Remember, even if there is a recession, it's not necessarily a big deal. It might just be a few quarters of slowed growth. It's just too early to tell. People have a tendency to over-exaggerate things. After 10 years of non-stop growth a bit of recession is normal and not a problem. You can't expect never-ending growth.

At the epic states of consciousness I've been in, problems cannot even be imagined. They simply make so sense. A problem is really a delusion. At such a level of consciousness I cannot even imagine my own death. Death literally becomes impossible. There is a point at which you are too conscious to die.

The more awake you are, the more aware you are of deception, the quicker you see through bullshit. The eye of God cuts through bullshit like a knife through butter. You will be able to smell devils from miles away. It can vary. You may feel nothing at all because you are in total acceptance of it. You don't necessarily need to feel some positive emotion. At other times you may weep for the tragedy of it. How you react to sitations will vary greatly and it depends on what mood you're in. The only way God can hate is via a limited human vehicle. The pure Godhead cannot hate because it is totally conscious. Total consciousness accepts itself totally. It has no reason to hate anything because hate only arises from partiality and selfishness. You have to be deluded to hate yourself. It is impossible for Infnite Consciousness to be deluded. Unless it first becomes limited consciousness (a human). To experience hate, God had to invent humans. God experiences hate vicariously through your ego.

Is-ness = Love But this requires an insight to grok. It is not enough to only grok is-ness, you can probe deeper into what is-ness is. You can also notice that is-ness is Emptiness, or Intelligence, or Will. And all of these will be distinct insights. Just because you grok one does not mean you grok them all. It's sort of like tasting wine. You can taste it as a noob and only discern 1 or 2 qualities. Or you can taste it like a master and discern 5-10 qualities, even though it's all one wine. In the end what you're doing is discerning what consciousness is. Consciousness = Truth = Love = Being = Isness = Will = Intelligence = God = Nothing = Infinity = Eternity = Now = Perfection = Goodness = Absolute = Nowhere = All = Oneness = Universe = Self = Divinity Hard to say as there are probably multiple ways to get there. There certianly exist mystics who got it without psychedelics. You need a very radical shift in consciousness according to my experience. I call it full God-mode. It's superhuman consciousness beyond anything I can meditate to. But then again, Love is right here right now, at all times. Once you grok it, it's so obvious you can hardly miss it. You don't need to feel love to know it's all around you. Not necessarily. I don't consider my heart totally open, whatever that even means. - - - - - - - Take some LSD and ask it, what is Love? Why make this so difficult? You can solve this whole headache in 30 minutes.

@Mikael89 If you keep preaching about awakening/Truth here, you will be banned. You are just preaching. You are not doing the work. Notice that your mind is fundamentally stuck on the belief that love cannot be real. And your ego is now busy justifying why you are right. Notice that you are not actually open to investigating consciousness and discovering whatever it happens to be. You are just rehashing your pre-existing prejudices via the words of others. You have no idea if any of the words you quote are true or false. This approach cannot work and is a bastardization of this work and a waste of our time. You do not know what Truth is. Start by admitting that to yourself. Enough games.

Focus on those factors that you can control. Don't try to control him. Focus on making internal changes. Be strategic.

If you really want to change the world, you can find a way to do it. The problem is that you aren't serious enough about it.

Do the work.

He's a very complex thinker. Yeah, somewhere between Green & Yellow. He's probably as high as one can go without direct mystical experiences. That's what he's missing.

It's both. Spirituality teaches you detachment. But you don't stop at detachment, you act from detachment with a sense of passion and purpose to improve the world. One of my core teachings is: You are a creator. Not just a creator, but THE Creator. You are God! God creates from a place of detachment. To be a powerful creator you must do it from a place of detachment. The point of life is not merely to awaken but to experiment with being a powerful Creator. The creation is not do out of need or lack, but out of Selfless Love. Creation is its own joy, point, and reward. This is a point which distinguishes my teaching from something like classic Buddhism, which is only concerned with awakening and escaping the dream. For me, the dream has value in that it allows for creation! This is God's sandbox! Create something cool which gives you joy and uplifts all living begins. Tolerating everything will make you a very powerful creator.

The distinction between inanimate objects and humans is imaginary. When the self fully collapses, it is impossible to distinguish yourself as a human from your carpet. THERE IS SUCH THING AS HUMANS! You're imagining it! When you understand this, this opens up interesting possibilities such as being a coffee table or a rock. Consciousness is a universal field. It does not belong to humans or even to creatures. Rather the universal field of consciousness imagines humans and creatures within itself. In the same way that you might carve a human body out of a block of ice. The ego/self is that carving out process which is constantly on-going. That is what we call survival. To survive as a self you must constantly keep chiseling the ice to maintain your identity. This you do by thinking and imaging yourself to be a real self. For this you use memories, stories, concepts, emotions, and a slew of defense mechanisms such as denial, projection, justification, self-bias, etc.

That's nuts!
