  1. Red/Blue All of South America (especially back in the 20th century) was not yet at solid Orange. Remember, it's easy to tap a bit into a higher stage like Orange. It's a lot harder to become solid in that stage. South America is still deeply Blue. They got a lot of work to do to reach solid Orange. You have to be careful to distinguish pockets of Orange in elite neighborhoods within developed cities vs the bulk of the country, which is rural, poor, or underdeveloped. The stage of a country cannot be judged by its peak elite neighborhoods in its biggest cities. You need to take a representative sample all around the country. It's too easy to cherrypick a few advanced neighborhoods while the rest of the country is an underdeveloped swamp. Beverly Hills, San Francisco, and NYC are not an accurate measure of the development level of average Americans.
  2. Since Truth and Love are identical and absolute, of course they are for their own sake. What are you gonna do, pursue Truth & Love for the sake of money, sex, or fame? That makes no sense. Truth & Love are superior to all the above because they transcend and include all the above. Once you have Truth & Love there's nothing else left for you to want. All wanting is a lack of Truth & Love.
  3. Bhakti yoga is one specific path. There are many paths to God & Love. It's not exclusive to Bhakti yoga. Follow whichever path resonates with you most.
  4. @Key Elements I didn't tell him to desire to go on a date. He already desires it. I merely told him to not be lazy about his desire. If he wants to drop the desire, by all means, go right ahead and drop it. But does he really want to drop it? Either desire a thing and pursue it, or do not. If you waffle in the middle, expect hell. A common trap of this work is to get so metaphysical and existential as to avoid following through on the basics of human life. It's pretty simple really, if you're a human, you want to fuck. Best to embrace that rather than deny it. I don't like people pretending that they are above sex when they really aren't. You are only above sex when you genuinely no longer desire it.
  5. To the contrary, the rise of Trump has pushed America and Democrats much more left. Obama was pretty centrist and things like Medicare For All, Green New Deal, and rejection of corporate money was unthinkable 5-10 years ago. America is steadily moving left-er. Which is precisely what Trumpism is a reaction against. The core fuel behind Trumpism is that America is moving left and they cannot stand to admit that this is the correct direction to go, so they act like stubborn jackasses. The jackassery makes them feel morally righteous and avoid admitting deep flaws in their worldview. It all revolves around not wanting to change one's worldview due to it supporting a fictitious identity. Never forget, in the long-run things are always getting better, moving towards more consciousness, unity, and love. The evil which sprouts up along the way is part of the ulitmate flowering of Love.
  6. Brexit is the analog of Trump's boarder wall with a mote with snakes and crocodiles. Notice that both moves are a fear-based contraction of consciousness and will come with accompanying karma. It's the political equivalent of shitting where you eat.
  7. As the Buddha wisely pointed out 2500 years ago, all desire leads to suffering. This problem is much broader than you realize. With that said, stop being lazy and go get a date. The only thing worse than desire is a desire that you are lazy about.
  8. Chinese political leadership are devils.
  9. Simple: don't vote for conservatives. Brexit is nationalist foolishness.
  10. Orange/Green His libertarianism is unbecoming.
  11. Fascism is stage Red/Blue. There is no Green fascism.
  12. I have never mentioned Ilhan Omar on my blog.
  13. MDMA is one of the most dangerous psychedelics. It can have serious side effects. Do your research.
  14. Because you imagine even more that there is a physical reality with unbreakable rules. You imagine EXACTLY whatever is. When your imagination fails, you imagine it failing. You are talking to yourself right now. Laughing at yourself.
  15. Game development studios do all the above. They force employees to work overtime without pay, not sleep, feed them junk food at the office, keep them at work so much there's little sex, and withhold bonus pay. This is all standard game industry practice.
  16. You are the Creator, so whatever your imagine becomes true. It's like you are sucking your own dick and then wondering, "But who sucked my dick?"
  17. God is Nothing. You are the one attaching meaning to it. God is prior to meaning. You're not understanding that love is Nothing! You keep thinking love is something.
  18. You're not realizing that there is no difference between being in the movie and not. There is nowhere else for me to go because everywhere is already nowhere and nothing. You are imagining the difference between something and nothing, thereby creating reality. I am in the movie because you imagine I am. You are creating me, but you're in denial about it because if you admit you created me, you would also have to admit you created yourself.
  19. Reality is nothing. It never did exist. You only tricked yourself into thinking it did. Reality is an infinite trick. So be careful what you wish for. It's like you're a child asking why do movies have to be fake, why don't they stop all the fakery? Without understanding that without the fakery there would be nothing left.
  20. You can gather evidence from other people, but ultimately you have no idea if it will pan out until you try it for yourself. You don't need to spend 50 years doing witchcraft. It would be wise to read a few books about it just so you understand what witchcraft is. You don't even know what the practice of witchcraft entails. You are rejecting something you haven't even researched for 5 hours. If you were serious about understanding reality you would be curious: "Why do people practice witchcraft? What does it get them?" This line of inquiry would yield some good fruit. But you haven't done it.
  21. In practice you will have to make educated guesses as to where to look. But what you absolutely must understand is that your guesses are biased, circular, and often wrong. You have to be willing to admit your wrongness, bias, and circularity to yourself.
