The thing is, there's much more to reforming government than a single proposal like UBI. UBI vs jobs guarantee is like 7th on the list of important issues. Be careful about turning into a single-issue voter. A politician must considered holistically, not on the basis of one cool proposal.

Orange moving towards Greene.

Religion is just spirituality turned into unquestioned ideology. But that doesn't mean spirituality is free of dogma or ideology. Just that religion is much, much worse. Religion is what you call it when spirituality has turned into a cancer of the mind. Corruption is like water, it seeps into every crack.

It works like a TV screen. The TV screen is not Mario and it is Mario. If Mario dies, the TV screen is untouched. Your human form is like Mario. Your God-Self is the TV screen.

User @daramantus has been banned for spreading ideology, spreading misinformation, and clearly not being here to learn with an open mind. People who clearly speak of things they have no understanding of as if they do, will be banned from this forum. So just keep that in mind. This is not a place where ignorant opinions can be aired with impunity. If you're going to speak about infinity or God, first understand what you are talking about. It's very clear when someone speaks of these things without any direct experience of them.

It's consistent for the same reason a novelist or screenwriter strives to make his writing consistent -- so that you think it is real. That's how illusions are made.

What you're noticing with your line of questioning is the collapse of the selfish/selfless duality. You should expect all such dualities to breakdown at the edges when you question them deeply enough. God is the Absolute Unity for all dualities. You cannot say that God is X because God is also not X, both, and neither. Absolute Infinity is unqualifiable. Anything you say about it is always finite, partial, limited, and in a sense, misleading. Absolute Infinity cannot be fully explicated in finite form. Infinity is by its very nature implicit. It cannot be fully unfolded (because it goes on forever).

There is software you can install which will block your access to certain websites you select, like YouTube or whatever. You can even set a schedule in this software so that you can access YouTube after work, or on the weekends but not during weekdays. This kind of thing can help give your life some structure if you are unable to discipline yourself.

I don't even know if that's true. How many times does an dragonfly sleep? There are currently 925,000 species of insects on the planet, and only 20% of insect species have been identified. So be careful with your assumptions. The Earth is an alien place with many aliens living under every rock.

Yes, but the difference is that Sanders is genuinely concerned about little people. Trump is not. Trump is obsessed with materialism and wealth and fame. So he's just an oligarch in populist clothing. It's not enough to speak populism. You have to walk your talk. You can't be a serious populist if live in a $100 million dollar house and play golf every weekend with millionaires. A real populist would care about the lowest classes of society. Trump is the opposite of that. He only uses populist language when it suits his rise to the top. This is a classic tactic. It's called demagogery. Nazis, fascists, and Communists were masters at this. P.S. Funny enough, Bill Gates lives in a $100 million house, yet he still cares about helping poor people. So it's complicated. It is possible to be rich and still care a lot about little people. But it tends to be rare. And Trump certainly isn't that way. What really matters is not your wealth but your level of consciousness and compassion for others. It's no accident that wealthy people often lack compassion because they needed to be ruthless to earn their wealth in the first place. It's very hard to earn a billion dollars without being ruthlessly exploitative.

Yes, any firewall we build will be abusable by future devils. Nevertheless, in practice, a better gov and court system helps to keep the biggest devils at bay. As an example, slavery is no longer possible in most of the world due to suffciently evolved legal systems. This was not the case 500 years ago. Of course our legal system can still be exploited, but not nearly as badly as it used to be. So there is improvement.

You have to ground yourself in the desire for Truth as opposed to meaning. If Truth is what you most desire, and the Truth turns out to meaningless, you will be satisfied with it because what you really wanted was the Truth, regardless of what it is. But if you want meaning more than Truth, then you're in trouble because of the Truth happens to be that all meaning is imaginary, you will have to deny it or act upset. To desire Truth is to want it regardless of what it is. Truth for truth's sake.

Maps come in various degrees of accuracy, with some being totally wrong. But even if you have a very accurate map it is important be conscious that the map is never the territory it depicts. For example, it's important to understand that "the Earth" is an imagination you are now having. Notice that there is no Earth in your current direct experience. Which obviously means you must be imagining it. The floor you're standing or sitting on is not "the Earth".

This dream IS the "by some God's magic"! Your life is the process of God coming to know itself. Stop looking for magic elsewhere. The magic is right before your eyes! You are fully immersed in it.

Consistency is important if you care about getting good at anything. Otherwise you're just a dabbler. Hard to make any deep impact in the world as a dabbler. Pick a thing and master it. Hard to make money when you aren't a master of anything.

I've considered it, but I'm not really interested in interviewing others. I'm mostly interested in sharing deep insights directly with my viewers. Interviewing people requires a different intent and skillset. I have too much to say. I'm also not really interested in waiting for someone else to ask me deep questions. I would rather cut to the point.

How about some substance before you post?

What is the difference between game over and game start?

Meaning is relative. Love, Intelligemce, and Beauty are Absolute. Meaning limits love.

I was exactly in your shoes at your age. First thing I did was drop 65 pounds. Then, later, I started learning about how to attract women. You need a lot more socialization experience. You need to put yourself into social environments and practice socializing, not only with women but also with men. At 18 years old you're not supposed to have sexual experience.

Dude, just drop it. No one cares about your dick size but your ego.

Yes, but what are you gonna do with your life after awakening? Life purpose only starts to get serious after awakening.

It is not ideological unless you turn it into an ideology. I warned you from day 1 not to turn my teachings into an ideology. You must use my teachings consciously. How you use them depends on you. Many warnings have been issued. It would be a good idea to clearly distinguish in your experience what it means to act ideologically and what what it means to act consciously.

On mushrooms I once became conscious that I created all the dinosaurs. Not what you were asking, but eh... Weird shit happens when you trip enough times.
