It is...

Then again, some people just are batshit crazy

Sure, I will.

@ROOBIO The more important question is: do you find it meaningful? Are you passionate about it?

@kev014 It's tricky. This is a core existential problem. The trick is, the infinite and the finite are actually one and the same thing. So you might think you can escape the finitude of survival by appeals to infinity -- and in the Absolute sense you can -- but also in the relative sense you can't. In the relative physical domain in which survival takes place resources will always be finite, even though infinity is always true. In fact, it's because Infinity is always true that resources must be finite. This is the paradox of existence. But also, yes!, the more people become conscious of the infinite the less resources they need to be happy and the more intelligent they are so they can find new ways to extract more resources and distribute them far more efficiently. The Earth has enough raw resources to sustain 100s of billions of people and all the animals. The problem is we aren't using them efficiently or ecologically because we are so disconnected from Infinity. In the future this will get better and better as more peeps evolve up the Spiral. At the highest levels of the Spiral survival still gets played, it's just played in much nicer ways. Case in point, compare 21st century society with ancient Rome where 40% of the population were slaves. That's a lot of progress in 2000 years. Survival still takes place today, but it's much less barbaric, more loving. But still can be harsh and deadly at times.

@Outer Creation is just every form. Form and formlessness are ultimately one. But it is also useful to distinguish them.

@DustyWhy How do you know you aren't tricking yourself right now? How do you know science isn't a hallucination? How do you know you were born? Skepticism cuts both ways buddy.

There is no problem with materially enjoying women. The problem is in the toxic, egocentric ideology which MGTOW promotes. If all MGTOW was, was a call to action for men to improve their results with women and become better men, that would be great. But it is NOT that. It is a toxic victimization/demonization ideology. Materialism is the least of MGTOW's problems. The irony is, MGTOW will not even make you successful with women because it is such an energy drain. At least pickup can get you success with women. The whole appeal of subscribing to MGTOW is that then the guy does not have take responsibility for all of his failings as a man. It's just a way to scapegoat women. Which is really the opposite of what is required to become a strong healthy man. This is also the problem with Incels -- their toxic philosophy only deepens their predicament. These philosophies are like cancer. This is some of the saddest, disempowering stuff you'll ever read: https://incels.me/forums/inceldom-discussion.2/

@kev014 Don't worry about the neuroscience. To understand psychedelics you must do psychedelics. No amount of logic or evidence is going to convince parents that psychedelics are good for you. Because their position is irrational and dogmatic to begin with. It's as if you're trying to ask an electrical engineer for evidence of why you should play a video game.

@BornToBe I have not tried DMT yet. They will be very different.

Mooooo!

@Emerald Oh how we love to hate

Doing 2g + 5g back to back will definitely leave you beat, probably with a hangover the next day. Yup, mushrooms are very animalistic and tribal. Makes you feel like a monkey in the jungle.

@Serotoninluv Just think about it: nonduality means: not two. So any time you think of two parts to the world, you're not fully nondual yet. If there was a distinction between the formless state and your present formed perception state, that would be a duality. So you know that cannot be ultimately true. The final duality to eliminate is the duality between nonduality and duality! The snake must eat its own tail until nothing remains. Mu is the formless void state but ALSO the whole shebang: all of formed creation. Take a moment to look around the room you're sitting in right now. That is none other than Mu. To be fully nondual is to be conscious of Nothingness all the time, everywhere, no matter if you're in a formless state or eating breakfast. That is true awakening.

Thumbs up!

That does not contradict what I said. In the end, the devil surrenders to God.

A closed mind will never take a psychedelic seriously.

@Strikr Stay tuned for Part 2

2C-B is surprisingly powerful and profound for me. Although my faves so far are 5-MeO and LSD.

@Extreme Z7 Because he's got an Orange audience to cater to. Also because Goop does some ridiculous things and comedians thrive on the ridiculous. The Ultra Spiritual YT channel is all about ridiculing Green, even though I'm pretty sure the guy in the videos is himself Green.

My bad. He's not a moron. He's...

@Serotoninluv Yup, that's Mu. It cannot be explained because explanation requires distinction/duality. Sounds like you still haven't experienced infinity though. Infinity is the other side of the Mu coin. Also, it's important that you have the insight that Mu is not other than everything you see around you right now. Mu is not limited to that null void state. It also includes the entire domain of form and perception. This insight is paramount, otherwise your realization is half-baked.

@Elisabeth No-self is a relatively weak version of enlightenment. There are deeper stages of which few people are aware. Martin's work is good (for an academic), but it's certainly not fathoming the full depth of nonduality. I posted about Martin on my blog some years ago. Martin's problem is that he's still not really understanding what science is and its limitations. He's still trying to demystify and rationalize everything -- as scientists are trained to do.

You guys are being sloppy with your Spiral assessments. All you have to do is read Goop.com's About page to clearly see they are promoting Green values: https://goop.com/whats-goop/ An Orange person would never write that. The name of the company alone screams out Green. No Orange person is gonna name their company Goop. The reason Goop is ridiculed in mainstream media is precisely because it is too Green relative to the Orange center of gravity of mainstream culture.

@Outer That's right, consciousness creates the brain. Changing the brain is changing consciousness.
