Look, even psychoanalysis can be useful. It all depends on how you use it and what level you want to reach. I am speaking from the point of reaching absolute understanding of Self and reality. It won't take you there. Shadow work is useful but it ain't awakening. Have to be clear about your goals to select the right methods. Sometimes you need shadow work. Sometimes you need nonduality.

You can find God through Jesus, but it will be a very limited path and you will probably not understand that Jesus is imaginary and that you are God imagining him. There are many degrees of understanding what God is. The deepest levels are nondual and formless, so any kind of imagery like Jesus will get in the way. It's also crucial to understand that all spiritual imagery is relative. You could worship an elephant-man and it would work the same as Jesus. Because it's all imaginary. To get stuck on one set of imagery is so limiting.

Not a belief, a state of consciousness. If you were in a different state of consciousness you could become a kangaroo. But you aren't there. Changing states of consciousness is a real challenge because it defines "physical reality". It has to appear rock solid for reality to feel solid and not dreamlike.

Psychoanalysis is foolish. It precisely avoids waking up.

@Matt23 The problem is that you are looking. But there is no you. For awakening, that sense of you-ness must collapse. The mind will do every slippery thing possible to maintain the sense of you-ness. It's basically impossible to imagine what life would feel like without a you. Try looking at the room, but while imagining you were never born. Notice the room is there without you. The sense of you is stuck to the room like toilet paper on a shoe, and it refuses to come off, since obviously that would be the end for you.

@Joker_Theory You don't wake up in some new place. You wake up that everywhere is Nowhere, Nothing, Eternity, Love, God, Oneness, Infinite Consciousness, SELF, Truth, Infinity, All. There is nowhere but HERE and NOW.

That is some weird shit. Have you been fucking her properly? If you want to hook the ladies, get your bedroom game solid. Become a Sex God. Enter her soul through her panties. Then she won't care about no damn piano. Increase your value as a man so she feels lucky to sleep with you.

Unlocking, as the quote seems to have been verified as real. Who the fuck knows what's real these days? Investigate for yourselves.

Closing involves a lot of factors and is an art in itself. This is perhaps the most advanced aspect of game on which hinge most of your results. Basically closing requires being really experienced at these things: Screening her to make sure she's possible to isolate Being really good at planning logistics on the fly. Being really good at improvising new plans Leading -- getting her used to following you around Bouncing between various locations A convenient place to isolate her to (could be her place, or even a rented motel room, or even behind the elevator) Dealing with last minute resistance, shit-tests, and endless excuses Dealing with her annoying friends who will try to cockblock you every chance they get Seduction -- physically and emotionally turning her on. How do you learn all the above? Lots of trial and error, watching other experienced guys do it, and by studying some basic theory. Expect a lot of failure and near misses. One of the dirty secrets of PUA is that even the best guys only close like 50% of the women they manage to bring home. In the end, you can't force her. And many times she will be too relucant. But even to reach this point already takes serious skill. Just learning how to isolate her is tricky. There will be so many excuses and logistical obstacles. Endless excuses. Even once you get her panties off, it's still not a lock. You can lose her at any point. You can even lose her while you're inside her! It's a circus. Nothing will increase you lay count more than having a convenient place very near to where you met her. This is HUGE! It's so important it's worth paying an extra $1000/mo for it. Living within walking distance of the club/bar is priceless in game. If you have to drive 40 mins to your Mom's house, forget about it.

I doubt this claim. Can't get much worse than SAD in my opinion.

That should be plainly obvious when you watch how conservatives defend Trump and war. They operate from an entirely different (and lower) level of consciousness. Anyone who advocates for war gives himself away right away. That tells you who they are. A highly conscious being would never advocate for war. To be fair, plenty of centrist neoliberals also advocate for war. They are slightly more evolved, but not by much. Also the nationalism is a dead givaway of low consciousness. Nationalism is what gives rise to the racism, xenophobia, homophobia, mysogeny, culture wars, and fascistic/authoritarian leanings. Why do all the Republican Senators support Trump's brazen illegality and devilry? Because in their heart they like the notion of a strongman / authoritarian, as long as he is THEIR authoritarian. So they follow like sheep. Liberals are less inclined to behave this way. Liberals are less conformist, more free-thinking (even though they still of course get trapped in group-think). Studies show that liberals have higher openmindedness. Which is a key dimension of consciousness. You can't be conscious and closedminded at the same time.

Very true Nice example of recontextualization.

@JalenS23 Obviously we should be improving the quality of our food. And that is already happening. But it takes wealth and development to do that. In a world where many people are still starving, junk food is a step forward for them because it is cheap. They cannot afford better. Concerns about organic and whole food doesn't emerge until stage Green. 80% of the world isn't there yet.

Psychedelics are a catalyst for facing one's shadow and transcending one's ego. The more dysfunctional one's ego is, the more shadow one has, the less stable one's mind is, the more things can go wrong during a trip. People with mental illness or disorders need psychedelics more than anyone, but they are also less likely to handle facing their shadow. It's like a high stakes bet for such people. If you win, you win big. If you lose, it will be hell. Proper and very gradual dosing is crucial in such cases. You don't want to bite off more than you can chew. The less mentally stable and whole that you are, the less you can chew, the less you should bite. Of course if you are mentally unstable the less likely you are to follow my advice, the more sloppy your approach will be, the more likely you are to overdose and freak out. Ignorance cannot help being ignorant.

Guys, please be careful posting misinformation on this forum. Double check your quotes and source material. Locking for fake quote.

No, it's not fair to say because humans are much more complicated and conscious, with a higher challenge for conscious living.

Alexander Shulgin, inventor of MDMA, 2C-B, and 100+ other psychedelics, who personally tested and sampled all of them, lived till his 90's. So by your logic, you should do as many psychedelics as possible to live longer

Dalai Lama eats meat when he's traveling. @JalenS23 Again, you underestimate how well adapted humans are to their technology. Cooking food is baked into our DNA. It's not something we just do nowadays. We've been doing it since before we were even homo sapiens. Likewise for things like wearing furs. Your body is bald precisely because it adapted to wearing clothing.

Focus on developing your strengths. If you are a visionary big picture thinker, that is far more valuable than bean-counting. Stop trying to get the bean-counters' approval. An eagle is meant to soar, not cluck with the turkeys in the dirt.

This just doesn't square with the facts. Humans have successfully adapted to cold environs for 100,000s of years. In fact, cold climates are more ideal for the growth of civilization, which is why the most developed countries are from the north, generally speaking. Eskimos are well adpated to living in Alaska and Nepalese have specially adapted lungs for living in the high altitudes. They can climb Mt Everest without oxygen tanks when most white people need to use oxygen tanks. And of course our skin colors have fully adapted to the climate we hail from. Evolution adapts fast. It's always adapting, even today. Humans and technology go hand in hand. These two cannot be treated seperately. Technology is a huge part of our evolution. We have adapted to cooked meat, fire, clothing, etc. long ago. Don't forget, we lived through the ice age and ate all the mammoths (probably). If you hail from Europe, eating mammoths is in your DNA.

Humans are more diverse than a single other species because we adapted to live all over the world. Humans who survived in Alaska didn't do it on fruit.

That's exactly the solution. Go be around people of various races and cultures until you stop seeing them as other or weird. Racism is very simple: it happens because people get stuck in a small circle of those who look like them and think like them. If everyone traveled around the world and interacted with people of all races and cultures, racism would disappear in a few generations. People deliberately segment themselves into like-minded enclaves in order to avoid expanding their sense of self and realizing their oneness with all beings. This is why people in major cities are less racist than those who live in the countryside. Because in a big city you are forced to interact with those who are different than you, but in the countryside you're living among your own kind, living in a racial/ethnic bubble. Basically, stopping wanting to cling to your own kind enough though that is what's more comfortable for your ego-mind.

@Bno Notice your attachment to this issue. My point is not about politics. It's about the attachments you're exhibiting. You are missing the point of what I said to you, because you're stuck on matters of content. I let people know about pundits' fallacies in a non-attached way, conscious of the relativity of my perspective. That is the crucial difference. You are on here pushing an agenda every week. It's a question of attachment vs detachment for your own perspective.

@Bno Dude, you have turned your political commentary into a dogmatic gripe. Let it go. The way you comment is not in the spirit of our work here. Free your mind of that shit. All this political stuff you must hold very loosely, otherwise it turns into just another ideology. The content of your ideology is irrelevant, what matters is that your mind is stuck on it. Our work here is not to find better content to cling to, but to go meta and become conscious of the relativity of all content held. When you become conscious of this, you stop judging and blaming people.
