Of course there are dangerous. Awakening is a very radical thing. We are basically talking about renouncing your whole life. There will be times when you will feel depressed, insane, and even suicidal. All of this comes with territory. And there are many more dangers. Too many to list them all.

If the button is gonna be pushed, might as well smile

@7thLetter Much more conscious forms of manipulation are of course possible, and the whole point of our work here. Actualized.org is a collection of more consciousness self-manipulation strategies which ultimately point the way to transcending manipulation.

1) You haven't seen the full depth of it. Not even close. 2) People need to understand how radical this work is. Otherwise they are deceived. It's important to properly communicate how it FEELS from the subjective POV of the ordinary human. To play it off cool is just dishonest. It is incredibly radical. And it is dramatic. It is not a walk in the park to realize God. So let's not pretend it is.

@Shaun Step 1: Go have lots of sex until you are full. Step 2: Then return here and ask about how to transcend sex. Additional notes: Do not skip step 1 Wear a rubber

Notice, the final arbiter of that is you. It is actually you who is decided if he is a bot. If solipsism is true, then you are the only thing in existence, and you call all the shots. So the only one who determines whether he is a bot or not is you. So if you tell yourself, "He isn't a bot", that's what becomes true for you. Whatever you imagine is true, is what is true for you. Since you are God imagining the whole world. If you believe this world is real and not imagined by you, that's you imagining that you aren't imagining it, therefore making it real for you. If you stop believing this world is real, it will stop being real. The problem is this: because you have a dogmatic position that solipsism cannot possibly be true, you do not realize your own fully authority as the creator of reality. You have literally cut yourself off from your own authority, projecting this authority onto an imagination "other" or "world". And of course that is precisely how you create yourself as this limited human puppet. You have actually managed to convince yourself that there is an external world with physical laws which were not created by you. But the truth is, you created the whole world and then cut yourself off from the fact that you created it. And thus a human being was born. You were not born as some biological creature. You simply imagined your parents and hallucinated a life backstory for yourself. In truth, you were never born. You just tell yourself you were. So right now you are imagining that solipsism cannot be true and I'm full of shit. And so that is what becomes true for you. All of your childhood memories are things you're imagining RIGHT NOW! They only seem to have happened because you think so. And so that becomes true for you. Ta-da! Those are the true mechanics of reality. There never was a physical world at all. Nor was there a human self. Nor are there other people. It is ALL YOU! All by yourself playing this twisted game of infinite imagination. Neat, huh?

Overcoming manipulation is itself manipulation. But there is such a thing as non-manipulation. And it is not survival.

Truth is not a statistical probability. Thinking about Truth statistically is a rookie mistake, one commonly committed by poor scientists. Look! Truth is right here, right now! It probability is always 100%! Reality is happening right now! So it is 100% right here! You are overlooking the obvious.

Truth is unfalsifiable. Don't forget that

No! Simulation is a duality and therefore an illusion. Stop listening to materialist scientists. They are clueless about metaphysics & consciousness.

What's true is that you are God, God is all alone, and God is imagining everything. Oneness cannot help being solipsistic. It is ONE! Not two. But of course one includes two and all the rest. So in this sense it's not the standard Wikipedia version of solipsism. It's actually way more radical and insane. Absolute Truth feels very solipsistic. Because it is you! And there exists nothing but you.

See my video: Balancing Theory vs Practice It's an important one. You need to get good at just taking an action when you find yourself paralyzed by indecision. You can take an issue which confuses and compartmentalize it, setting it aside for another day. But in the meantime you can take some kind of action. And also sometimes it okay to be lost & lazy. That's a normal phase of life. See my video about: Chapter & Phases Of Life

The problem is more tricky than that. The problem is this: a conscious politician would be a decent human being. By virtue of this, he/she would not be very manipulative nor stoop to dirty and unfair tactics. But an unconscious politician would not be limited in this way. He/she would manipulate to the max and act like a devil. This devilry would give him a huge advantage against the conscious person when it comes to capturing the public's attention. This is exactly what Trump and far right-wing people do. They have no shame because they are unconscious and absolutistic in their ignorance. And even in the rare case when a highly conscious leader manages to get elected, he is usually quickly killed or demonized to the point where his reputation is tarnished beyond repair. And in this way, devilry and falsehood sustains itself. It always loses in the long-run, but the short-run it can be very powerful. This is a profoundly deep and difficult problem. It has no easy resolution, requiring us to go through war, conflict, violence, debate, anger, etc. Which is why human history has been so violent. War is a feature, not a bug. Ignorance cannot help but be ignorant.

@Joseph Maynor @Aakash @Etherial Cat You will be banned if you keep derailing this thread with your back and forth pointless comments.

Manipulation is survival. Good luck surviving without it.

Type "How To Deal With Confusion" into Youtube.

@Canada1977 That's pretty good. Blue: NASCAR, football, baseball, summer camp, religious camp, wholesome entertainment for the family which instills morals and family values. Orange: snorting coke off a stripper's tits in Vegas, gambling, nightclubs, casual sex, shopping, fancy dining, tourism, stand up comedy, etc. Basically everything that goes on in Vegas Green: music festivals, Burning Man, hippie activities, psychedelics, weed, being outdoors connecting with mother nature, etc.

There are many business courses and seminars which teach you the how-to. But mostly the how-to of business is learned by simply doing it. You make it up as you go along and follow your vision. Business requires strong vision & lots of studying your target market. You need to develop deep expertise in whatever market you're trying to enter.

@Garuda You have a shitty epistemic attitude. Not acknowledging how your own mind distorts genuine scientific inquiry.

@tecladocasio Find out for yourself.

Those are your own expectations. No guru is obligated to meet your scientific standards in a lab like a rat in a maze. And you have no idea how many materialization have been demonstrated or repeated, because most of them would never get documented due to the very cynicism you're displaying. If you expect not to see something, you won't see it.

@Garuda God has the power to materialize the entire universe, so it's very reasonable to expect that humans are able to tap into it and harness it. Don't be so cynical. Extraordinary healing is certainly possible and materialization is within the realm of possibility. It's not so farfetched. And just because some people in the past have been fakes does not mean the fundamental phenomenon is bogus. Just like with enlightenment, there have been many fake people claiming the existence of God, yet God is still real. Once you realize that God is real, almost anything becomes possible. Be open but also grounded. It's a delicate balancing act. Notice, I did not just accept the video at face-value. To me that video is ambiguous and not definitive proof. But it is interesting.

With this knowledge you created the entire world. After you have this knowledge, nothing else matters. Reading people's minds is peanuts compared to what I'm talking about. I'm talking about reading the mind of God.

1) It's not clear what that video is showing. 2) I don't know if materialization of objects is possible, but it's certainly something to keep an open mind about.

I found this interesting website: https://5-meo-dmt-malpractice.org/open-letter-concerning-abuses-by-octavio-rettig-and-gerry-sandoval/ Which documents some problems with how certain shaman's provide 5-MeO-DMT. I'm not sure if it's true, but it was concerning to me so I thought you guys should be aware of various dangers that might be involved when doing 5-MeO-DMT with a shaman. Be careful. To be clear: I am not taking any definitive stance on the allegations made. They could be phony for all I know. This is just something to keep in the back of your mind if you plan on working with a shaman.
