@the_wanderer Yes, that is a little taste of enlightenment, but enlightenment can also go much deeper, and there can be various facets to it. How do you make it stick? By doing lots of practices like self-inquiry until your entire reality is deconstructed. -
@zambize There exist some things which cannot be gotten at with words. So how do you go about talking about such things to people who have not experienced them? Here we are. If we didn't call it nonduality what would be call it? How would we let you know this thing exists? Maybe we should call it "chicken" from now on and see if that solves the problem. There is no way to get around the fact that incommunicable things exist. You can try for a million years and you will never solve this problem. Because an unspeakable thing cannot be spoken, by definition.

@Outer He's not sure if gay marriage is acceptable. Why talk about make up at all in the context of sexual harassment? It's irrelevant. Unless you're looking for a scapegoat. -

That's what a Green transition looks like. Rules do need to be figured out, but he makes it seems like men and women can't work together in the same place for 40 years. -

@cetus56 Mine is slightly better. It's called the MAGA Toilet. The bottom of the bowl is a large carved relief of Hillary Clinton's face and it has a giant protrusion at the front of the bowl to accomodate one's extra large balls and dong -

That's just a clever rhetorical trick. He plays this trick a lot. He implies a conservative position but then he never commits to it outright because it would sound ridiculous even to him. He DID seriously consider the possibilty that women should not wear make up. He is in the business of playing ideological mind games, not actually offering practical solutions. He did the same thing with his enforced "enforced monogamy" comment. JP's whole game is to say deliberately controversial and backwards things, and then dial it back to something half-reasonable. This gets him all of this clicks and views. The rules are whatever we want them to be. They can be very simple: don't slap a woman's ass and be more sensitive to her POV as a man. Don't abuse a position of power to coerce women to sleep with you. But this would require admitting that feminism has validity. Which he does not want to do. -

@captainamerica 1) Try a psychedelic and you will immediately understand. This is not possible to understand conceptually. You must experience it. 2) Hmmm... that's a bit tricky because all of those things are conceptual. What you can see is how your mind constructs those things. You can see the metaphysical and epistemic substrate of those things. Psychedelics certainly make you 100x more creative. But it will not necessarily be productive in the way your ego-mind wants. It will be far more profound than that. You basically will not care about science and math at this level of depth. They will seem shallow and insignificant compared to metaphysics. During one of my solo retreats I did randomly invent a cool new patentable invention. No psychedelics were used. Just lots of meditation. The more conscious you become the more creative you become. -

Nothing even comes close to the strength of armodafinil other than LSD or the like. Armodafinil is like a mild psychedelic. -
I will fly to London and you guys can just sit and watch me sleep from the jetlag for 2 hours followed by Q&A

@Serotoninluv That would trigger barbarism, not awakening. See movie: The Postman People do not awaken en mass when their survival is threatened. They retreat into egotism, xenophobia, and violence.

@Andreas Do lots of the techniques I have given you numerous times in the videos. Meditation Journaling Reading Contemplation Shamanic breathing Psychedelics Solo retreats Visualization Body relaxation Keeping a commonplace book Etc You must start doing that shit to get results. Seriously!

Search for the Ultra Spiritual guy on Youtube. All his videos are a mockery of spiritual ego.

@John Lula Just think about the policy implications of what you are saying. The solution to sexual harassement in the workplace is to forbid women from wearing makeup? That is what JP is basically saying. It is simply unworkable and it will not stop sexual harassement. The solution to workplace harassement is cultural. It requires evolving the workplace culture from Orange to Green. But JP demonizes Green so he is unable to see the solution. Precisely because his ego does not want a Green culture. JP's mission in life is to prevent an evolution of culture into stage Green. You see the problem with this and why liberals are so opposed to him? This doesn't mean Green culture is free of problems. But it is surely healthier than Orange culture. And it would reduce sexual harassment. The MeToo movement is not a mistake. It is a net positive for society despite a few cases of overcorrection. In the end, after all the dust settles, your daughters will better off. And you will embrace it as the obvious solution. -
And remembering it would do you little good. You must do the practices.

Culturally, a woman's value is highly contingent on her physical appearance. This goes way deeper than sexual lust. If your value was based highly on physical appearance, you would do everything you could to maximize that. Not because you want sex, but because you want to be accepted and valued by your tribe. A woman who shows up to a job interview without makeup will not be hired. Think about that! It's really not much different if a man showed up to a job interview without combing his hair, shaving his stubble, and ironing his shirt. Everyone on TV, men and women, wear makeup for this reason. Every time I shoot a video I spend about 20 minutes making myself look pretty, so you guys aren't disgusted watching my face. That's showbiz. That doesn't mean I want you to slap my ass or fondle my tits if you see me out in public. -

@John Lula For the same reason men wear expensive suits, gold watches, trim their hair, and drive luxury sports cars. You know, right, that most retail shops will not even allow a woman employee to show up to work without makeup? Because it would turn the customers off. Make up is a cultural necessity for women. This is just a rehash of the old "You got raped because you were asking for it" excuse. That's how stage Blue thinks about female empowerment/liberation. It's not the responsibility of the man to control himself. So if harassment happens its the woman's fault for being overly sexual. This exact logic was used in the 1950's to keep women from wearing shorts & skirts. -

I don't know about "safer" but it is significantly more powerful (for me). -
Leo Gura replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
This ain't science bro. This is an ego-mind using science to convince itself of the validity of its crumbling conservative worldview. Think of it this way: In Saudi Arabia JP's logic can be used to keep women from driving cars, wearing shorts, or owning bank accounts. -
Leo Gura replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
He's almost ready to cry over women wearing makeup, LOL. -
Leo Gura replied to AlwaysBeNice's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
He's said plenty of dumb things: By JP's logic men shouldn't trim their nose hair. Universities are liberal because they are stage Green. Plain and simple. -

@Barna If you like that you will LOVE armodafinil and LSD. -

@Jonty Great! -
Sounds like a lot of folks will be having their awakenings after 2 years of drought

@gahzito Thanks but South America is too far. Even traveling across the US will be very exhausting. I am not a high energy person like Tony Robbins. I don't have the energy to do a ton of seminars.
