No, depends on how powerful your will is. If you're talking about altering physical reality in a way which affects others, your will needs to be equally powerful. These are not levels of access that the universe grants to most people, for obvious reasons, since there is enormous potential for devilry. Only the most spiritual advanced people might be given such access. Which is why you don't see people walking through brick walls every day. The whole point of "physical reality" is so that ordinary beings could not change it willy-nilly. You won't want people being able to walk through the walls of your house while you're jerking off in there.

It depends.

He is not as progressive as he seems. This is what the Yang Gang doesn't understand -- doesn't want to understand.

I am not well enough informed on this issue to give an opinion. Indian politics is not my jam. If you study the principles of Conscious Politics as I laid them out in my 4 part series and also Spiral Dynamics, that should allow you to make sense of most political issues by yourself. Of course you also need accurate facts about the on-the-ground situation. Which I don't have in this case. Generally speaking I know that Modi is Blue and pushing a Blue cultural agenda. But India is so under-developed that I would be less critical of such things than I would in America. America should know better. India, not yet. Realistically, oppression of minorities and even genocide in India is par for the course. They are not collectively developed yet to transcend that. They must learn the hard way, by causing great harm to themselves and facing the ugliness of their selfish actions.

UBI is a good idea, but it is only the beginning of other much needed reform. UBI by itself will not fix the fundamental corruption at the heart of the system. The systemic corruption is worse than anyone understands or knows how to fix. The corruption is at an existential level.

Hehehe.... All "physical reality" is a hallucination held stable in the mind of God. But that's still not the end of the mindfuck. The mind of God is nothing at all. So the fan doesn't really exist even when you stick your hand in it. It's all absolutely nothing. Nothing has ever happened. You imagine it did. All being is a direct manifestation of Will. As you become more conscious your will is able to materialize physical objects. But this is not the ego's will, it is the Will of Infinite Mind. As thr ego-mind unravels you become Infinite Mind, completely unlimited. If you became totally selfless you would have enough Will to materialize the entire physical universe in the blink of an eye. Well, you already are doing it, which is how it is here, but you're not conscious of how you're doing or even that you are doing it. When you trip you get a tiny, tiny taste of how Will generates physical reality, which is why the visual field starts to warp and the things you think start to spawn "hallucinations". If you think of a devil hard enough, one will materialize.

Now that's how you trip! Great job man @Consilience Namaste

Yes, AA is a bit dogmatic and stage Blue-ish. It's not designed for advanced people, and that's fine for what it is. But there is so much more. It's just a question of where you're at and how high you want to go. You must be willing to outgrow your peers, your support structures, and even your teachers. This is what makes advanced growth so challenging: you have to transcend all invented social support structures (since they don't go high enough). Once you climb to the end of the ladder mankind has built for you, you must chop down some trees and build new rungs yourself. Those who always expect the ladder to be built for them by others won't go very high.

It's a bit odd that Yang argues that we are not yet ready for Medicare For Fall while pushing UBI. Right now we have a wider concensus for Medicare For All than UBI. At least 50% of the public is asking for Medicare For All. Not many are asking for UBI.

@Spiral_Wizardry_Fan The founder of AA cured himself using LSD. That was the whole key to recovery. Now of course they took the one key away, Lol. The key to all recovery is CONSCIOUSNESS. And nothing raises consciousness more effectively than psychedelics.

The Absolute and the Good are identical. It cannot be explained to you. You must awaken to what God is.

@Girzo More people die from lettuce than psychedelics. When was the last time you had your lettuce tested? But I get your point.

The Absolute is not a conclusion. It is. This is not a matter of evidence. This is matter of consciousness. You are not conscious enough so you cannot see what's right in front of you.

I have not read any of Goddard's work so I cannot say. Seems like he has some degree of awakening. The million dollar question is not IF someone is awake, but to what degree?

Depends of course on where you're at.

Why not drop it and go for the big thing? You can't solve an existential problem at the level of the relative. That's the point of transcendence.

Of course

Happy New Year! How was the banana?

"John DID NOT DIE from eating a cheeseburger. He dosed correctly and his friends were in the room to help him." Lol Putting LSD next to heroin and the word "die" is absurd. The only thing that will die is your big fat ego.

You're not quite seeing how radical Self-Love is. ANYTHING you do, is Self-Love. If you murder your family, that is Self-Love. Love is unlimited and you cannot ever fail it. Develop the courage to stop judging yourself, others, and reality. That's true Self-Love. Anything less would be ego. Which is also Self-Love. How would you act if you knew you were loved under all choices and circumstances? THAT is liberation. Anything less is slavery.

Personally I don't like psychoanalysis. I think it's more deluded than true. There are certainly some bits of truth in it, but also plenty of nonsense. There are much better resources. You don't want to end up like Slavoj Zizek: academically brilliant, but spiritually dumb as a rock.

@Justine You're getting "bad trips" because you've got a lot of shadow material to process before your psyche is ready for the really deep metaphysical stuff. Rather than trying to avoid bad trips, your intention should be to go into each trip and accomplish some shadow work. Confront those parts of yourself which you don't want to confront. Sort out your psyche. Slowly work through all your lies, fears, traumas, low self-esteem, grudges, etc. until your mind is pure. Then you will be ready for metaphysical contemplation.

Remember, this is a long-term game we're playing. Slow and steady wins the race. Don't treat self-actualization as a 1 year activity. Treat it like a life-long activity which you have no choice but to do. This should put things into proper perspective. It's like going to church. People who go to church never think to themselves, "How soon until all this church attendance is done? 3 years? What if I attend three times as much per week? Can I finish it in 1 year?" No! You go to church for life.

That's the one!

God is madman.
