I was just giving a hypothetical example. Don't take it so seriously. I have no idea where my shirt was made. Maybe it was made in heaven, by God himself? And maybe that looks no different than a Bangladesh sweatshop Maybe

No! You're not getting it. THIS IS THE PERFECT DESIGN! There is nothing perfecter. Any design you imagine would be worse than God's design. Seriously! Think about how profound what I am saying is. I'm not making this shit up. It REALLY is that case that this is Absolute Perfection. The imperfections are in your way of looking at it. It's as though you are looking at a massive flawless diamond through dirty glasses. So you keep seeing imperfections and blaming the diamond. What you need to do is open yourself up the possibility that the imperfections are an illusion created by your ego-mind. If you do that, if you clean your lenses, you will see that the diamond was always flawless. And your heart will melt. Wash yourself of yourself if you wish to see the highest truths. There is no other way. The lens of the microscope must be clean to get accurate results.

@ajasatya I am familiar with his stuff. Dean Radin would be dismissed and rejected by most scientists. They would call him a kook, not a scientist. His paranormal research is rejected across the board by serious scientists. Not because he is wrong but because they are dogmatic materialists. People hold science in way too high a regard. So I think some bashing is a nice counter to that. A culture war is needed here to some degree. Right now people take science way too much on faith. It's part of the Orange stage. What's really needed is a full, methodical deconstruction of science, which I am in the process of writing. Obviously you are more conscious than the typical scientist because you did consciousness work. Very, very few scientists are as wise as Einstein or Tesla. You picked two of the best of all time. That's unfair. I am talking more about your run of the mill scientists. Those who poo-poo metaphysical inquiry. Science advances and evolves precisely through the critiques which I am verbalizing. This is true scientific method happening right here, right now in this thread! We are pointing out it's limitations so that it can become more pure. But as always, scientists hate it when you point out the impurities of science. They go into defense mode. It's an ego thing. They are committed to the survival of science, which ironically entrenches the impurities. Such is how all corruption works. The whistleblower gets demonized. I am the whistleblower. So scientists will demonize me. See, science is a collective ego. That's a profound insight. Go check out my Collective Ego episode and connect the dots. Science is not yet conscious enough to realize that it is a collective ego and all the ramifications this has. So we must make science aware of this to evolve it to the next level.

Any time I capitalize a word I am talking about an Absolute. Good vs good. Good with a capital G is an Absolute. Absolute means it has no opposite. Yes, you can think of good vs evil, but then there is Good which has no opposite (which means it is ALL). When you are conscious of the Absolute Good, you realize evil has never existed. Only Good exists. Good for whom? Good for the totality of existence. Good for you as God. May not be good for the ego. Suffering isn't a bug, it's a feature! Myopic mortal, you have no idea yet of the Goodness of God's design. Total selflessness, total love

Every creation is that way. Have you looked at how living creatures evolve? They are all hodge-podges of past creatures. No creature is ever created out of thin air in one step. Nor is any vehicle or human gadget or invention. They all require gradual refinement and evolutionary innovation. And yet, each creature still have original parts. You are not merely a combination of your mother and father, you are something new. Perhaps self-copying is core to the creation process? Now there's an interesting idea Don't be afraid of standing on the shoulders of giants. It cannot be otherwise.

@kieranperez Good to see you engaged with life again.

Of course! I will be sharing my detox protocols with you guys. Hopefully soon. If I get around to it. Busy, busy. I have some powerful detox methods.

@devonrexcatz I hear hypnosis is better for that than LSD. I doubt LSD will do it. But who knows. Maybe a very high dose will. I've never experienced anything like that. What's far more profound is to realize that you are ALL lives simultaneously. You are not limited to some chain of past lives at all. You are Hitler right now. There is nothing which you are not. The only thing you will ever discover through consciousness work is more and more of yourself. Period. There is no "other". Only YOU! Wake up!

Sounds in the right ballpark. I don't remember all the details of his theory. But Tom Campbell is not fully awake. His theory states that time is fundamental, which is false. He also says that reality is finite, which is false. He does not have a good understanding of infinity. He's still thinking of reality too much in physicist terms. With that said, his work is full of valuable and practical insights. It's just not the highest teaching or truth. Which is okay, but Absolute Infinity blows all that out of the water. You have much, much left to understand, grasshopper. Don't get cute with me.

Materialism is the belief in an external physical world which exists independent of the human mind. And it's the belief that this belief is not a belief but reality. It is the belief that consciousness is made out of material objects like neurons or brains. It is also the belief that the universe is dumb and inanimate. Models of reality are not the problem. The problem is that groundless metaphysical assumptions are rampant throughout science but at the same time materialist science poo-poos metaphysics, as if metaphysics is bullshit, but without any awareness that science is full of implicit materialist metaphysics for which there never was any scientific evidence. Another big problem is that scientists are NOT aware that their models are just abstractions. Serious scientists like Max Tegmark or Sean Carroll literally believe that the universe is mathematics or literally a quantum field equation. It's so ridiculous it's tragic.

@Jkris The point is to deepen your understanding. Some people will get it. One day it will click for you. Then you'll see the point.

What you are are overlooking is that creation IS constraint, IS limitation. God has not constraints, he can create whatever he wants, but once he's created it, that thing must be a certain way. God cannot create a chicken and then have it bark like a dog. To be a chicken means: can't bark like a dog. The vocal cords of a chicken cannot bark. This is not a limit on God's power. He made it that way! He doesn't want chickens to bark. They got other stuff to do. The design constraints are not placed upon God. God places the design constraints in the process of creation so that creation works harmonious with itself. If God created animals without suffering, those animals would not live long enough to breed. So he could do that, just like you could punch yourself in the nuts, but he's not stupid enough to do it. Stop assuming that suffering must be eliminated from the design, as if it's a parasite. Suffering is not some extraneous thing, it's there by design FOR YOUR GOOD! By seeking to eradicate suffering from the world you are fucking with God's design and unwittingly turning his heaven into hell. Suffering isn't a bug, it's a feature.

I tried it once. Didn't like it. It was too much for doing work. And that was 10ug. I suppose I should try it some more. I wanted it to be a powerful technique but for me it feels like I'm better off just doing a solid trip than microdosing. Other people may feel differently, like if you're depressed or something, maybe it would be good for you. Modafinil feels a lot better for everyday activities and work than 10ug of LSD. Modafinil is so nice I often don't take it simply because I feel like it's cheating. Life is too good on Modafinil, LOL. You can't rely on drugs to hold up your life. Tripping is different. Tripping is a rare event which is more like a rite of passage or a retreat. So it's very different from daily dosing of drugs for life enhancement. I'm generally not a fan of near-daily dosing of anything because it becomes a crutch. But hey, if you can't function without it because you have bad ADHD or whatever, then it might be good for you, for a while. Eventually though your goal should be to be totally free of chemical crutches. Happiness must come from within.

What I am talking about goes much deeper than that. I'm not just talking about figuring out your opinions on issues, like whether you should vote for liberals or conservatives. What you'll discover is that virtually no cultural programming you have is authentic. It's just random stuff your mind picked up. To become authentic you need to really turn inward and disconnect from culture and people. Doing solo retreats you start to see what authentic is. Not even your identification with being a biological organism is authentic. When you get super-authentic you will look in the mirror not even view that body as being who you truly are. To become authentic you must peel back layer after layer after layer of false identities which you have constructed throughout your life. There are many layers to peel back. Peeling them back is challenging because your physical, emotional, and social survival depends on them. Without them you would be lost. Which needs to happen in order for you to really find yourself. But hey, start wherever you can. Most of you will have to start by peeling back the psychological and social layers. Look at all the mask your wear around other people. Look at all the manipulating and lying you do. Then there will be the existential layers.

@thesmileyone 1) It's a phase. Dark Night of the Soul is to be expected once you get deep enough into awakening work. It happens as the mind realizes that all meanings are self-constructed and that meaning is not absolute. Realizing this can feel depressing. 2) To overcome boredom, become creative. Create something that gives you joy. That's what art is for. Come up with a life purpose and you will rarely be bored.

@kieranperez I will do videos on Honesty, Integrity, and Authenticity in the future. There's a lot to say about them. Yes, a weak self will struggle a lot to be honest, integrous, and authentic because it is too fearful. It basically can't because it is not conscious of its own true nature. Ego is a house of cards cemented with lies. But even so, you can push your comfort zone and be more honest. This alone will grow you. But yeah, to get a massive gain in this domain you must have some awakenings to your true nature and Absolute Truth. How can you be authentic and honest when you don't know what is true and what is false, what is authentic and what is inauthentic? Psychedelics are wonderful for this topic. They will make you honest by beating you into submission.

Wait and see. There's too much to say. If I say, "Trump is President of the United States" is that true or false? How do you know? What makes it true? What does it even mean to say it is true? If you don't know what truth is (and you don't), how can you even say that something is true or false? What are you even saying with those words. What does it mean to say God is true? Is truth a concept or something else? If it's not a concept what is it? If it is a concept then are non-conceptual things not true? How many kinds of truth are there? One, two, three, infinity? Are colors true? Are words true? Is perception true? Can ideas be true? Are false things true or false? Do false things exist or not? Is there something in between true and false? Does truth come in degrees or it is binary? Etc, etc. Don't take the most basic things for granted. You could spend the next 20 years of your life studying what truth is and isn't and how truth works. And you would probably be wrong.

@moon777light It's still valuable, but if you feel you've stalled you might want to consider another method for a while. Try Kriya yoga or counting the breath to build up your concentration. Self-inquiry is an advanced practice which should only be done once you've calmed your mind down and are able to maintain some degree of concentration. Otherwise it just won't be effective. In Zen they start newbies off with counting of the breath. It's actually quite smart to do so. Count each exhale from 1 up to 10, then repeat from 1. If you lose track, start over from 1. Do this until your mind calms down and stops thinking about random stuff. Then you can turn towards self-inquiry more. It might also be helpful for you to do self-inquiry using a journal. Question whatever you identify with and try to deconstruct it on paper. This process is very good for opening you up to not-knowing. At first this questioning will be conceptual. That's okay. You have a lot of conceptual baggage to deconstruct before you can just sit and focus on the I AMNESS. For example, are your memories you? Is your DNA you? Is your brain you? Are your sensations you? All of this must be questioned and deconstructed even just conceptually. Sitting and focusing on the I AMNESS is a very advanced practice. It is really not for newbies. A newbie monkey mind cannot get traction with it. It's too busy, too active.

@Joseph Maynor There are still a lot of important things to say about truth which most of you guys misunderstand. The topic of truth is not just enlightenment. I mean other aspects of truth. I won't be rehashing the same old stuff on this topic. The fact is 99% of people are deeply confused about what the word "truth" even means. What is truth? That's a profound question and the answer is not something like God or The Self. There's more nuance to it than that. My truth video will be very eye-opening for you even if you've watched all my enlightenment stuff. In fact the topic is so deep it requires multiple videos.

That is not quite right because a human being DOES have some agency/will which Mario does not. It's not the ego's will that is in control, it's God's will. Luckily you are God. So God's will is really your will, not something outside you. Humans have a small sliver of God's will in everyday life, which the ego co-opts as its own.

@WorknMan You are misunderstanding selflessness. Selflessness and honesty go hand in hand. The conflict is between honesty and selfishness. The reason you lie is due to fear and selfishness. You do not lie out of selflessness. If you were truly selfless you would never need to lie.

@Joseph Maynor You are still missing what Truth is. Awakening reveals Truth. Don't mistake Truth with conceptual or verbal relative truths. I'll talk more about what truth is in the future.

@Krzysztof You will not understand this until your first awakening. Then you will say, "Oh! Duh! Truth! Lol! Brains?? WTF is that?" You see, the brain is a hallucination.

Suffering is absolutely vital to life. There cannot be living creatures without suffering. Pain and suffering is what keeps a living creature alive long enough to breed. Be careful thinking you can design reality better than God. You can't. So stay humble and learn to understand why reality must be structured exactly as it is and not according to your fantasies of how it should be. God's design is good. Your design would be shit.

@kieranperez Armodafinil is about twice more powerful. Too powerful really.
