@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).

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.

He's almost ready to cry over women wearing makeup, LOL.

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.

@XYZ Why don't you start a business which would solve many of these issues? If you really wanted to, you could. The problem is you don't want to. You're lacking the vision, the ambition. Changing your situation will require lots of hustle for a few years at least. But don't look of that as a negative, it's a positive. For once you will be doing something exciting with your life. That excitement leads to passion and the feeling of "being alive".

@Anirban657 You are creating a duality between thoughts and matter, as though they are made of two different substances. This is false. Thoughts and matter are literally made out of the exact same stuff: consciousness. There is no other substance in the universe but consciousness. No exceptions whatsoever!

@graded24 1) I-AM-ness is nothing. Which is why the mind cannot grasp it. Yes, I-AM-ness is awareness. Nothingness is self-aware. But don't think of awareness as a thing or a substance. It is nothing. The reason you struggle to get this is because you assume that nothing cannot be self-aware. This is a false assumption. 2) There is only one "substance" in reality, period. That substance is nothing. Everything is it. No exceptions. Everything is self-aware because it is nothing. The entire sponge is nothing. The sponge is not distinct from the empty space it occupies. This cannot really be conveyed by the analogy because it would require you to already have nondual awareness. You see the sponge as distinct from the empty space because you're looking at it dualistically. If you were awake, you'd realize the sponge is nothing, as are all physical objects. This does not mean that sponge disappears or changes shape or color. It just means that you realize that shapes and colors ARE nothing. 3) Again, you are making the mistake of thinking of nothing as the opposite of something. This is the ultimate duality. You're expecting nothing to be a blank -- the opposite of something. And it is that. But it is also all the non-blank stuff as well! Form and formlessness are actually identical. This won't make much sense without a deep awakening. You have to deeply question all dualities like: Something vs nothing Form vs formlessness Dual vs nondual Me vs you Inner vs outer God vs not-God Life vs death Existence vs non-existence Awareness vs non-awareness Material vs immaterial Mind vs body Self vs world Good vs bad Sentient vs non-sentient Life vs non-life Matter vs empty space All of those distinctions will ultimately collapse into unity if you question them deeply enough. Everything you've experienced in your entire life was nothing. It's like the entire universe never even happened. In the beginning, there was nothing. The end. It's like the universe was never even born. This is an utterly shocking realization which requires super-human levels of consciousness to realize. If you ever get this far, it's as though you broke all of existence. And then again, this is already true right this second in your experience. You just overlooking the obvious.

It is not that. It is the belief that there is no God and that the universe is a dumb material object. There is no atheism without materialism. They go hand in hand.

@Mafortu That is how I am. Genuine desire for Truth is the best motivation. But suffering lights a nice fire under your ass too. Don't make this a false dichotomy. Use both and you will go far. Also, the reason why you don't appreciate liberation from suffering yet is because you have not suffered deeply enough. Don't worry, one day you will Then you will understand.

Firstly, no human being is rational. There is nothing rational about survival. Secondly, the concept of rationality depends on a duality created by the rationalist which carves up the world into rational vs its opposite. So by the very logic of the rationalist, to say something is rational is to say something else is not, which be definition means the world contains both rational and not rational things. Which means the world is not rational. If everything in the universe was rational the label "rational" would cease to have any meaning. The only value this label has is precisely because there are irrational things afoot which you wish to distinguish from the rational things. Rationality is a self-defeating category. As all categories are. Because they are projections of the human mind. Calling reality rational is as silly as calling reality "sexual" just because you like sex. Some stuff is sexual, but most stuff is not. Likewise with the rationality label. Reality contains sex but it is not limited to sex. Sex does not even account for 1% of reality, neither does rationality.

Lol, what a bullshitter that dude is.
