There are ways of knowing things which you cannot even imagine. Of course it's accounted for by nonduality. Memory is not a merely a function of the brain. Memory is a much more profound thing. It seems like BS because you're trying to understand it from the materialist paradigm, which is false. Have some mystical experiences and you'll start to understand. Sadhguru is way too advanced for most people here. Maybe after 10 years of diligent work you'll be able to understand him.

@universe Let's see how distracted you'll be when nukes start flying.

The difference is, toxic feminism is something your mind created. Feminism just seeks equal rights. Yet you perceive that as toxic because it threatens your identity.

Definitely, definitely. Low consciousness politicians always use the most base survival threats to win elections. Case in point: Trump That's how devirly works. Fear, division, and distraction is the name of the game.

Toad venom is at least 3x to 5x less potent per mg. So be sure to factor that into your calculus. 1 gram of synthetic is worth about 3-5 grams of toad venom.

A special attachment is formed which feels irreplaceable, yet it is replaceable and there's nothing objectively more special about one person than another. It's the same as love for one's children. Your children seem special, but honestly, they are no more special than any hungry kid off the street. If you were truthful you'd admit it. The ego creates this massive bias for the purposes of its survival. It's the epitome of selfishness. You need to lie to yourself that your children are special, otherwise there'd be no compelling reason to protect them from annihilation.

All sex is incest. Since everyone is a relative of everyone else. It's just a question of degree.

That's why you are told to be detached from the fruits of your work. If you expect material compensation for everything you do, you'll be in a world of hurt.

So what? This doesn't contradict the law. When understanding such spiritual laws, you have to understand them holistically, not in this nitpicky way of yours. The law does not say that you can't have some accident befall you. Something else is being said. Rather than trying to debunk the law, try to understand what it is trying to communicate to you.

Love

LOL Only a weak insecure man would say such a thing.

Generally speaking no. Additional work is required.

I would add Universal Law #6: Everything that happens is a manifestation of Love. No exceptions. If you cannot see how this is so, broaden your perspective until you see how it is so. Inability to see it demonstrates a narrowness of perspective.

@outlandish Maybe. Not sure if there's enough demand.

@Riblet Roblet For me personally, meditation does not even come close the power of psychedelics. I could meditate for 30 years and not come anywhere near the deepest realizations I've had on psychedelics. Maybe somebody could do it, but not me. When I look around at most enlightenment teachers, I find their teachings to be shallower than the things I've realized on psychedelics.

Yup, those are all true.

@whoareyou Of course But what I'm telling you is, awakenings can occur at any stage. They will then be filtered and understood through the lens of that stage. This notion of "full enlightenment" that you guys like to use is absurd. It's sloppy and creates many foolish conclusions.

@Brenzo2 Nothing is Everything. Love gets you the whole universe. Yes, you are transformed by Love. But how much exactly is hard to say. Depends on how deeply you realize it. And even so, developing the mind takes work.

Are you seriously comparing a company like Yandex or Baidu to Google? They are not evem in the same ballpark. A company like Google simply could not exist in China or Russia. Google is a highly advanced, conscious company. You don't even realize. They put enormous effort and resources in retaining worldclass talent. Google goes way beyond generating a profit. It is a whole different paradigm. Any fool can be successful, but only Google is Google. You grossly romanticize these 3rd world countries. No serious people want to live there because of how much they suck in ways you can't yet imagine. These countries are corrupt to hell, full of toxic chemicals, censorship, and many other problems. The food is cheap because it's toxic junk and no one wants to live there. If all you value is cheapness, then sure, those countries look appealing. But people who generate serious income have way higher standards. The development level of a country is directly related to the development level of a company like Google, which is an advanced stage Green company. It would never have arisen in China or India.

You guys are conflating enlightenment with other things. Love is part of enlightenment. The fact you gotta face is many serious Zen masters were stage Blue.

@How to be wise It's complicated and nuanced. Take a look at Osho. He was obsessed with materialistic luxury even though he was supposedly very enlightened. Take a look a Zen monks during WWII. They supported fascism and Japanese nationalism, even though they were supposedly enlightened. Being awake does not mean you have an advanced mind or an advanced value system.

I don't waste my money. Someone else in my position would live much more lavishly than I do. I could go buy a Lamborghini in cash tomorrow. But the thought doesn't even cross my mind because it's such a childish desire.

@How to be wise Strictly speaking Spiral Dynamics is tracking values development. Not necessarily moral development or spiritual development. Many stage Blue yogis have an ethnocentric worldview. They could be very partial to Indian culture, holding it as superior to all other cultures. Even Sadhguru seems to not be immune to this trap to some degree. Oddly enough, you can be conscious of Universal Love but still be a racist or misogynist. Childhood attitudes tend to run deep and enlightenment will not necessarily transform them automatically.

It's a mistake to try to map that to Spiral Dynamics. That's not what Spiral Dynamics tracks. Many Indian yogis are Blue even though they could be enlightened or have amazing siddhis. Many Japanese Zen masters are Blue too. Western Zen masters tend to be Green+

That's what psychedelics are for. Of course it won't last. You can't ever be a kid again. You know too much now. You also over-romanticize how great it was to be a kid. It wasn't as great as you remember because your mind filters out all the bad stuff.
