Unfortunately life ain't so simple. By that logic Hitler could not be stopped. Violence is actually not the opposite of love or awakening. Violence happens precisely because it is part of the Ultimate Good. Some things cannot be resolved other than through violence. That's the paradox. The Hitler issue was resolved by fighting the devil head-on, not by Spiral Dynamicing him. My point is that no amount Spiral Dynamics or Integral Theory would have resolved that issue, and that it might have made it worse. No everyone can be negotiated with. Negotiation has certain prerequisites.

@Key Elements If you're looking for good LGBT song, try this one:

Yes, but also don't expect it to do all the work for you. You still gotta take responsibility for your bad habits. It's not just going to erase an addiction without any effort from you.

I took 1.25 yellow microscoops It was some kind of salt, not sure if fumarate or HCl. I don't recall much body load. But it wraps your mind so much that you don't care much about what's happening to the body.

The key to confidence is massive personal experience. You must sink 1000s of hours into those things you wish to be confident about.

Desire is not a bad thing per se. Desire for Truth and Love is precisely what you need to awaken. Distinguish between low consciousness and high consciousness desires, survival needs vs being needs.

@ROOBIO Always solo

It begins as armchair philosophy, and as you become more serious, it turns into true contemplation. Of course there is no clear line between the two, as that would be just another duality.

Be very careful with dosage. Start low. A little goes a long way.

I suspect this is true. I have not verified it conclusively because I've never done it orally. But the plugged experience is so intense and different than typical 4-AcO-DMT trip reports that I assume plugging it really is different. It's like the most intense version of mushrooms. I hesitate to take that shit again. It's like 5 hours of nonstop mindfuckery.

You wrote something important here, but I find your writing is a bit ambiguous and confusing. It would be nice if you started a separate thread where you explain this more clearly and in greater detail. I think it would be very valuable for our members. Write a guide on how to clear vasanas.

@winterknight You underestimate psychedelics. No therapy session will come close to the healing power of one solid trip. Not even in the same ballpark.

The deepest trip I've ever had in my life came from plugging 4-AcO-DMT. It was so nondual that you wouldn't believe. I stopped being able to tell that I was human. But of course that's because I've done many trips to build myself up to this point.

You guys should not even be talking about feminism until you've read 10 books about it. So much foolishness in this thread that I can't even bother reading it. Suffice it to say you have no historical context for women's rights and you have a massive male self-bias. This problem can only be solved with serious study and education. By all means be a man, but don't do it by creating an anti-woman ideology. Imagine being a man without being threatened by the success and empowerment of women. That's what true masculinity looks. A mature man would understand and support the basic aims of feminism. A juvenile man is thratened by it. It's this kind of nonsense which is why I sharply criticize JP. He helps spread this cancer of the mind.

No because what you don't understand is that Truth is prior to proof. What this misses is that actions must happen regardless. Just sitting back and saying "Well, Hitler will resolve itself. I will do nothing because it doesn't bother me." is a dysfunctional way of embodying spirituality. You are not just a passive observer of life, you are right at the heart of its unfoldment. The choice to do nothing is still a choice. Sitting back and letting others fight Hitler for you is rather lazy and irresponsible. Because once Hitler gets to your front yard, you will wish you'd done something.

You don't have to suffer, but if your life is too easy you will not appreciate the full depth of what life is.

4-AcO-DMT plugs extremely well. That shit is intense. Some of the craziest tripping I've ever done.

@Nivsch Now analyze the situation as if you had no personal stake in the game. It's going to be very difficult for you to step outside of your Israeli self-bias if you live in Israeli and identify with being Israeli.

The ego hates equality when it is on the benefiting end of an inequality. Any move towards equality will be perceived as unfair by the ego who stood to benefit from the inequality. That is selfishness 101. If you take away a slaveowner's slaves, from his POV, he's losing something. And that's perceived as unfair.

Please tell us how many books on feminism you've read. This is a legit problem. But it has little to do with feminism. You could blame video games. Video games certainly have a lot more to do with it than feminism. Why don't you target video games instead? This is false. This is exactly the kind of ideology that toxic masculinity promotes to avoid dealing with the root issue. Notice the blaming attitude here. Traditional roles were not erased by feminists. Those traditional roles were never sustainable to begin with because they were built upon collective mental fictions and norms. Those norms had to break down with rise of various technological advancements. You also underestimate how stiffing and limiting those roles were. People got sick of fitting into such narrow and artificial roles. Society was never going to stay at Spiral Dynamics stage Blue, nor will it ever go back to those roles. Evolution marches forward. If you really care about unity, then stop parroting this ideology and go read some books on feminism with an open mind. You need to step outside your male perspective and look at society from the POV of women. Which is precisely what you won't want to do. And this is what's creating your perceived division. If you would see the world from the POV of women, your projection of division would cease and unity would result. You would also become happier and you'd be more successful with relating to women. Remember, women in America could not have a line of credit from the bank until the 1970's. Just think about that! Stop being so goddamned self-centered. The world doesn't revolve around you.

You should watch the Netflix documentary: The Family That will change your understanding. Stage Blue can be extremely genuine in its devotion. That isn't the problem. The problem is that they cannot recognize that their devotional path is just one out of many others and not the best. This leads to a monomaniacal devotion which never doubts itself, where the ends justify any wicked means. You are not yet properly understanding stage Blue. Study up on it.

@Jed Vassallo Daily visualization for a couple of months straight. Make visualizations intense and emotional. What you're talking about in your example isn't a belief per se, it's a goal / intention you want to have.

How would you describe the actual process of shedding subconscious and instinctual defilements? What causes that to happen vs not?

I like it.
