You can define all you want, but it will mean nothing until you go through the looking glass yourself. Talking about what's through the looking glass is not the same thing as being through the looking glass. Talk is cheap, and direct experience is not a philosophy. It's what is. The possibilities of consciousness cannot be described in words.

Healthy stage Blue integrity and morality:

Banned The purge continues. This is not a free speech zone. Read the rules, follow them, or leave.

@TheHealer Good. And are you aware that you are God and that you created all this? Why did you create it?

@TheHealer Great! So what exactly did you become conscious of? Do you understand what God is? What Love is? Why existence is? I don't doubt you had some awakenings, but just trying to ascertain how deep they went and what may be left to realize. Many juicy facets of this thing.

I found you a role model

There are no shoulds. Do as you like. But I recommend you engage in politics to the extent that you vote regularly and you have a sense of which politicians to vote for -- which are most conscious. Otherwise devils will rule over you. Of course it doesn't need improving from the absolute perspective. But there is also the relative perspective of survival. And there is also the perspective of God wanting to help all beings awaken. For God to awaken more beings it needs to create a more conscious society. Survival has a deeper component to it than merely survival. The ultimate point of survival is so that an organism can live long enough to awaken. The entire movement of the material world is basically there so God can share its love with finite beings. And politics is part of that Grand Design.

Enlightenment is in short supply because the cure is worse than the disease -- from the ego's POV. It is like getting a broken leg and then the doctor telling you, "Okay, don't worry, we'll solve this problem by cutting off your head." Who's down?

Hand of God

That's precisely backwards. You are prioritizing survival over truth, which is is the mother of all human problems. I'm not in this discussion to say, "Nananan bo boo. Told ya' so." I'm here to hopefully get readers to realize the origins of all evil -- stemming from self-bias of the mind. When you put survival above truth, you become the devil. And as you do this, you imagine yourself to be an angel. If you really care about corruption, carefully contemplate what was said in my video: Understanding Corruption. The corruption starts and ends with you. You are not going to end evil with evil. Your fear of getting fucked over is the evil which corrupts your mind. The very same evil which corrupts the minds of all those corporatists you fight against. As I said in another thread, a purge of bullshitters is underway. He was given many warnings about his ideological promotions. This was merely the straw that broke the camel's back.

No, I was merely pointing out the most obvious and likely interpretation which was being overlooked in favor on some nefarious DNC plot. You skipped "It was just a bug" and jumped straight to: "DNC plot to screw over Bernie" -- because that's what your paranoid mind was looking for. A DNC plot is always possible. But it's foolish to jump to that conclusion based on so little evidence.

I didn't. I was worried he might win precisely because he appeals to stage Orange. But the difference is, now, after 4 years, people are much clearer about who Trump is. In 2016 Trump won because he had fooled lots of people with this fake successful businessman persona. People voted for him because they assumed he would be like an ordinary successful business executive -- like Mitt Romney. They didn't expect him to be an incompetent racist moron man-baby scumbag. Now the cat is out of the bag. Back in 2016 it wasn't fully clear how Trump would govern or behave in office. Even those who thought it would be bad didn't expect the total circus we got.

User @Bno has been banned. Warned him many times about using this forum in an ideological way. This clearly would continue. @Emerald I didn't say I had a definite answer, I said you make rash and ideological accusations. If you were calm and patient, the truth would reveal itself. The most important thing I have to teach is how to not be ideological.

Yes it does. Trump pissed off a lot of people, even some classic Republicans. 2018 showed it.

User banned.

Those are his lapdog supporters. Most of the country is repulsed by him. I think beating him will be easy. Bernie or Pete will beat him. Trump can pander all he wants be he's not going to gain any new supporters. Minorities certainly won't fall for his bullshit pandering. The pandering is to give cover to the racists in his base, so they can feel comfortable in their minds about not looking like racists.

Trump. At least partially. He's not a violent Red, but still.

All the spiritual practices I talk about. If you're starved for sex, sure.

If you think people shame you for sex now, you haven't considered how it was like 100 years ago. We live in the most shameless and sexually open time in human history. Not sure what more you need. For a long time my most viewed video on YouTube was How To Make A Girl Squirt. And people mostly liked it.

Absolutely Marxism is important to study, but the trick is not to become ideological about it. Which means holding it loosely, not getting attached to it, not creating an identity out of it. The problem with people in those Reddits is that they make identities out of the ideologies they defend. That always becomes limiting and problematic. Marxism can be as toxic as capitalism when adopted as an ideology. Because the common structural problem is lack of self-consciousness. See my video: Content vs Structure. Marxists think they are superior on content grounds, while structurally it is still an ideology like capitalism.

Ugh... just seeing that title and thumbnail makes me want to vomit. No, most bros I know are pretty solid Orange. At least in urban parts of America. Red is pretty rare these days in developed parts of the world. The difference between Orange and Red is that Orange will posture about being macho and alpha and may start a drunken bar fight, while Red will stab you in the throat with a fork and strangle your dog. Joe Pesci from Casino, that's Red: Don't fuck with Red.

That's why you must be careful with your stereotypes and categories. For some people, the idea of a smart black man also does not compute. Which is the very source of racism. An overly simplistic mind is a dangerous and ugly thing. The devil you see in others is the devil inside your self.

Everything is relative. Pete is far more liberal and openminded than the average person in the country, and certainly the South. But is he as liberal as TYT hosts who love to bash him? No Pete is a moderately liberal guy which is decent for someone from the Mid West. He's not from San Francisco.

That's one way to look at it. But are you really sure that's the proper way to look at it? Where did you get this perspective? From TYT? And you just blindly accept it as unbiased? Calling him a racist is pretty silly. Racism is a complex and nuanced issue. There is personal racism and systemic racism, which is much more subtle. Someone can have no personally racists attitude and yet still be part of upholding a systemically racist institution for many complex reasons, chiefly, his own survival. He's not some open racist. You're saying it as though he's a KKK member. This is absurd. The accusation is that he inappropriately fired a black police chief due to political influence. But even this requires serious proof. There are many reasons why he could have fired him. Maybe you should listen to Pete's version of the story before jumping to conclusions. One can have biases and blindspots without being explicitly racist. In fact, most of us have such biases. If I put you into a position where you had to fire a black police chief to feed your family, you'd probably do it without blinking an eye. And you would never ever consider yourself a racist for doing so. Of course being gay does not automatically make one a champion for African American rights or justice. Mostly likely Pete just grew up in a white bubble where African American rights were not even a topic of conversation or concern. He would have to go out of his way to care about that. I grew up in such a white and affluent part of the US that I didn't even know racism was a thing until well after college. When you live in a great part of the country, you don't even know what injustice is. The notion that a cop would treat a black person different than a white person was impossible to even imagine where I grew up. It would be like worrying about people eating dogs.
