@Tistepiste When you're playing a video game and your character, let's say Mario, dies or gets raped, is it a problem for you? Do you cry over it? Do you get angry? Do you seek revenge on the Koopas? No, because you're aware it's just a game. If you take the game too seriously, you may get so mesmerized by it that you actually get angry at the Koopas. Likewise with life. The only problem is, you don't think life is a game. You think it is very real. The operative word there is "think". Just because you think something is real does not make it so. The logic of all this is very simple. The problem is, you're not being logical about life, you're highly biased by your fear of death. So your thinking is highly irrational and distorted by your preoccupation with living. You actually have to be insane to believe that life matters. The trouble with insane people is, they don't know they're insane. If they did, they'd be sane! Here's lookin' at you, kid

You can't take away being. Where are you gonna put it? Being already IS nowhere and nothing! Existence is nothing. It never really happened. There is no difference between existence happening and not happening. Imagine that existence never happened. Well, that's what this is!!! You are inside of Nothing right now! You've just mistaken it for something. Nothing and Everything are identical because reality cannot tell the difference between something and nothing, existence and nonexistence. That's right. The mind cannot comprehend Nothing. Comprehension is something. If you had the set of all possible things, that set -- to truly be the set of all possible things -- must include its own negation. Therefore EVERYTHING = NOTHING. Everything and Nothing go full-circle. If Nothing was excluded from Everything, then Everything would not be Everything. Everything must be all-inclusive, including every possible exclusion! Paradox is not a bug here, it's the key feature!

@shermano667 I can confirm from deep trips I've had that the universe is holographic and scale-invariant. Every part contains every part, to infinity. Quite the mind fuck.

Depends on who's doing the considering. Materialist Western doctors do just this, harming and misleading many people who turn to them, out of ignorance. Blind leading the blind.

Integral! Integral! Integral! You guys are not being integral.

@seeking_brilliance The devil has crossed your wires. What the devil calls winter is actually spring. Spring is coming!

By transcending knowing, into being. You don't know that. We're not demonizing ego. Ego is not bad. It's just an obstacle to seeing that God is Nothingness.

@Uchira There's only one way to find out

Lol

@Oeaohoo You make some good points. But then again, many Orange atheist types will say the same thing today: puritanical Christianity is bad because it is too uptight, too serious, too life denying, too sexually repressive, too theocratic. Orange people tend to skew towards libertarianism and hedonism. Which is the pendullum swing from extreme repression to "the world is my oyster and all self-denial is bad". Watch some videos from the Amazing Atheist on YT. He criticisizes religion on these kind of Neitzchian grounds and he's very Orange. It feels like Neitzche's critique of Christianity is what a modern person's critique of Quakers would be: they are too life-denying, basically kill-joys. They need to loosen up and have a little fun. What is lost on the Orange person, and Neitzche, is WHY ascetic practices are done. It is not life-denying, it is really just the opposite. The ascetic is the one who becomes most alive. But of course asceticism must be done properly, not as stage Blue religious ritual, which is just an aping of real asceticism. Neitzsche is basically critisizing all of the egoic corruption within Christianity. But he ended throwing the baby out with the bathwater. What Neiztche really missed is what an ascetic like Sadhguru did. He is the opposite of life-denying. It is nice to see that Neitzche saw through the absurdity of positivism and atomism. In his day those materialist views had not yet taken dominance like today. Idealism was still somewhat alive. Today it is basically dead in the sciences.

The devil must deny God, otherwise the light of God burns him to death.

@How to be wise You are being narrow-minded and this will limit your ability to grow. You cannot boil life down to one technique.

Sweet!

@Andreas You are wrong. It does not matter what you believe, the issue is: investigate your direct experience and discover what's true. Whatever ideas you have of God, they are false. You cannot trust anything your mind says. It's all lies.

This is the exact opposite of self-actualization. I see you guys worshipping me and it's really not good.

Microdosing is pretty silly. Just do proper tripping and you'll get some serious growth.

There is no how for the last step. No process, no method. Because it is DIRECT. Being! It is a quantum leap. Sudden and out of the blue. They call it the Gateless Gate for good reason. Your mind will never figure it out or sneak up on it. It sneaks up on you. You just keep pushing until something breaks. Or, take some 5-MeO and there it is.

@Callum Milner Spiral Dynamics is a lot better and more accurate.

@sgn Sounds like a 5-MeO trip

That's addressed in the LP Course.

@lmfao It has already been verified to death! The problem is no serious person wants to accept it. Science is not about to admit that their entire materialist framework is a house of cards. You may as well be asking the Catholic Church to admit it's full of shit. It's not going to do that! Collective ego doesn't give a fuck about truth, it cares about self-preservation. You accept science as though it were the word of God without realizing that in reality it's just a giant corrupt bureaucracy run by conservative old men who have children to feed and reputations to maintain. Same as the church. Wake up! Notice, the only reason you have scientific truths in your head at all is because it has been told to you by some old man in a position of power, whom you gullibly believed. If an old man in a position of power does not tell you it, how the hell will you ever know about it?? Through YT ads? Through CNN? Through Facebook? Where are you getting your information? Have you realized yet that all mainstream sources of information are propaganda channels for the collective stage Orange ego? You've lived inside an Orange echo-chamber your whole life! You are like a factory cow that's never seen real grass or sunshine a day in your life. If you ever met a real cow who told you about grass and sunshine, you'd think that cow was crazy. But of course the crazy one is you.

@Andre Quinonez Super common. People like you usually become psychics or they represses that part of themselves and keep it secret. Sounds like you've got some natural paranormal talent and you could easily develop it using books, courses, workshops, and teachings. Read more New Age books and you'll get into that whole paranormal sub-field of the self-help market.

@ULFBERHT The object does not matter much. Focus is a general skill. If you can focus on one thing, you can focus on another. And if you can't focus, you can't focus on anything. The mind jumps around and it makes excuses for why it's good to jump around. Which is why you have not settled on a concentration target. The mind just does not want to.

@7thLetter Then psychedelics are not for you. Psychedelics tend to undercut performance as they reveal the value of being over doing.

You sure he wasn't cosplaying? I would wear a birdman outfit with a glorious glittering flowing cape.
