Cognitively and politically they are not. You have to take into account the scaling problem. It's easy to live in harmony with nature when you got 500 people. Now see how they behave as 500 million people. All hell breaks loose.

Taxing rich people doesn't cripple their motivation. This is a myth. Money is an improper motivator in a conscious society. You would have our most creative people be prostitutes. This is an insult to turly creative people. Also, don't assume wealthy people are the most creative people. Right now, the wealthiest people are often the best exploiters of society. Why should such exploitation be rewarded?

@laurel Be careful romanticizing tribes. They are primitive and they will start tribe warfare. You want a better understanding of stage Purple, look at Africa and Iraq. That's tribal warfare.

@Shiva The US spends double Per Capita. As one example, insulin in the US costs 10x more than in Canada. Same brand. -

It's all very simple: space is imagined within consciousness, just like everything else. The end. The substance of reality is nothing. -
I mention this a bit in the video. Yes, the currency needs to be not fucked with. I am all for balanced budgets and no going into debt.

The smaller states are over-represented in the Senate. In fact this is one of our biggest problems. The least developed rural states have a majority strangle hold over the Senate which makes it impossible to pass progressive legislation. What the smaller rural states don't appreciate is just how much their boats are lifted by the largest and most progressive states like NY, California, Washington, etc. These states pay the bulk of taxes because they add massive economic value. Yet their votes are not worth as much. Votes should be allocated by people, not by state. Otherwise you have a backward democracy where the minority opinion actually rules the majority. Just think about it, why should a president with the minority of popular votes win while the one with the majority lose? It makes no sense. If the guy you voted for won the popular vote but lost the election, you'd rightly be upset. Especially if two such elections lead to disastrous policies like the Iraq War and the Trump administration. What makes all this particularly galling is that the most conscious candidates are actually winning the popular vote, but still losing the election! If California was properly represented under the principle of 1 person, 1 vote, America would be able to pass significantly more progressive legislation. Right now we have the least developed parts of the country cockblocking humane legislation. California, NY, and Washington lead the way on progressive legislation: clean air, clean energy, living wage, etc, etc. Alabama ain't putting forth the most conscious & loving policies.

That's right, enlightenment is generally not useful. Enlightenment is the transcendence of survival, value, right/wrong, meaning, usefulness, etc. That's also right. Love is ultimately where all this no-self business leads. Absolute Self Love is the end result of profound enlightenment. If you were truly able to Self-Love, you'd conquer every demon in the world. - - - - - - - - - The realization of no-self is very important. It doesn't contradict Self Love. These are two sides of the same coin. So don't turn this into a false choice. Realize no-self. Realize The Self. Realize God. Realize Love. Realize Infinity. Realize Nothingness. Then you will be ready to save the world.

Yes, they are mostly Purple in their cognitive development. You have to be nuanced here and distinguish various developmental lines: moral, interpersonal, political, cognitive, spiritual, and so forth. While their spiritual line could be advanced, their other lines can be very low. Those tribes are not all rainbows and butterflies. They will rape you and boil your skull for dinner if you are from the wrong tribe. Tribal warfare is a notorious problem.

In other words, what where you wearing? I gifted him $3000 worth of love. That should buy him plenty of meth love.

No, I know that many of you are averse to psychedelics, so when I say practices, I mean all the traditional practices as well. I have given you guys lists of practices in the past. You also have to keep in mind that I share some extremely advanced insights on my blog and in my videos. Some of the things I talk about will not be understood hardly by anyone. And that's okay. Most people here are not really seriously interested in Truth or understanding, you're here for the smaller purpose of improving your life. So what that means is you will not access the deepest things I talk about, but you can still improve your life significantly. Accessing the deepest things I talk about will require something special -- whatever that means. But don't worry. Even if you only access 30% of what I talk about you will be in the top 0.1% of mankind. -
Leo Gura replied to Schahin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Schahin You need to drop these questions and do the inquiry work. Going down this line of logic is only going to confuse you further. You will only understand these things AFTER some enlightenment experiences. Trying to reason out the answers ahead of time will not work. -
Leo Gura replied to Michael Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
No, not if you're doing it right. Stop doubting and start doing the practices. This is not a belief-based teaching. God is not a concept, God is you. -
Leo Gura replied to Truth Addict's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It has to be communicated in the proper ways. Simplistic ways as in the story above are too ineffective. Give that student 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT, and maybe he'll get it. -

Leo Gura replied to Schahin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Your questions are confused because you are imagining a difference between God as disincarnate and as incarnate. The two are one. Science too can predict the future (to an extent). Infinite Consciousness is able to anticipate its own unfolding. Infinite Consciousness is the sum total of all possibilities. What gets manifest right now depends on you. I can predict that your hair will turn grey. Is that because of destiny? No. It's because of understanding various patterns of the universe. -

Of course he didn't. -

Leo Gura replied to Schahin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
The future is not predetermined. The future will be whatever God decides it to be. Which means, whatever we decide it to be, since we are God. The unfolding of life IS the very mechanism by which God creates the future. This is it! God is deciding right NOW what the future will be! You are doing it! If you decide to pick your nose, that's what God decided. Until you pick your nose, God hasn't decided it. -
Leo Gura replied to cle103's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@cle103 The key insight you're missing is that something and nothing are identical. Form is formlessness. All distinction is imaginary. Nothing has ever happened. And everything that has happened is nothing. The two are one. Keep tripping and contemplating this. You'll get it. You are close. -
Fucking Fresno! Some meth addict broke into my car in Fresno and stole $3000 worth of gear. Fresno is the meth capital of the US. Stay out of Fresno.

Of course they would disagree. That's them defending their survival agenda. You know what though? If you tell slave-owners to give up their slaves, a funny thing happens: they disagree and complain that they are being treated unfairly. When you point out to a racist person that he is being racist, he starts to complain about reverse-racism and white genocide. That's what devils do. We do not let such devilry deter us from creating a more fair and conscious society. -

If only you realize that "physically" is imaginary, you'd understand how I died and how I know. -
The problem with only talking about personal responsibility is that it becomes a blank check for selfishness. People take personal responsibility to maximize their profits & success by exploiting and manipulating the collective. The easiest road to wealth & success is by exploiting the collective. So of course that's what people do.

This is not merely a question of insurance coverage, this is an issue of wealth redistribution. The fundamental problem is that the entire healthcare industry's profit margins are way too high. They are artificially high because people's lives are being held hostage in the negotiation and people are negotiating with both hands tied behind their backs due to how the healthcare industry created a cartel. It would be like if me and a few of my rich friends bought up every source of fresh drinkable water in your state and then charged you 10x to have a drink. And when you complained about how unfair this system is, we'd invest $100 million dollars in a propaganda campaign to call you Communists. The government is the only organization which has the leverage to renegotiate the terms of the deal. The bottom line is, doctors & executives will have to settle for earning less money so that more people can live. That's what this whole discussion is really about and no one wants to admit it. A bold politician must rise up who will say, point-blank: "You guys will earn less money, for the greater good. Sorry, not sorry." Bernie Sanders is one such politician.
