@pedro23 The whole beauty of being a monk is that no one has any strings over you. You can do whatever the hell you want and there is nothing they can do to stop you.

You can't help becoming more liberal as you move up the Spiral Dynamics stages. Because conservativism is largely based on closedmindness and tribalism.

I would suggest that you don't actually love yourself. So here's the solition: 1) Do self-esteem exercises (Nathaniel Branden) 2) Practice more self-love through visualizations, affirmations, etc.

Injecting heroin tends to make other things pale in comparision

@Angelo John Gage All of that is concept. A story within a dream. Concept-land is not Truth, it's "relative truth" instead.

@Angelo John Gage The truth is, you invented all those "facts"

@Will Bigger You are underestimating the power of consciousness. It can literally dream up any kind of reality is wants. You are confusing perception with consciousness. Idealism is just another name for nonduality. Psychedelics would quickly show you this.

@Edvard I'm not really opposed to anything. You are free to murder people if you want. Such is reality.

@herghly I found float tanks rather gimmicky too. Although I'm sure some people can make it work, like Joe Rogan. But he has one installed in his house! Good luck with that.

@Egosum The better the model, the bigger the problem

@molosku Well put.

It will be pretty big downer on you working with people like that. But, hey, someone's gotta do it. And for some people that might be the prefect niche. Probably people who have gone through that kind of thing themselves.

No, not right now. Short on time. But I plan to start one in the future. I like Kriya yoga, but I'm no expert on yoga. Not a big priority in my life. Not really. That would be something which would require dedicated work which isn't high on my list of priorities. I would keep the practices separate. Law of Attraction is still good and important if you want to sculpt your mind and succeed in life. Nope I would probably get upset. But I would also come to understand why it must be so, and that would take some of the edge off. 6) Not much. That's an area I require much more work in. 7) Closer to my own age. 8) Depends on how you define "place". In the US I've lived in 4 different states. 9) No, but I own a sharp ninja sword. All trespassers will be sliced Try to treat the situation casually. Go answer the door if you must and then return back to your meditation like nothing happened. No, I don't have much doubt any more. Seen too much at this point. But of course I'm always open to being proven wrong in the future. If that happens, I will be open to it and report my discoveries and errors back to you guys. 1) Dying prematurely, before I fulfill my mission. 2) Morrowind Because for now my focus has been on building Actualized.org rather than going balls-to-the-wall on myself. My diets fluctuates a lot. These days I eat more meat because I don't find it very sustainable to only eat plants. I basically starve to death that way because I don't eat any wheat or dairy products. Healing is quite a common ability actually. There are many legit healers around. Which is not to say there aren't frauds on TV. I real healer probably wouldn't be showing off on TV. Apply everything you learn and use your consciousness to help elevate the world. I don't know for sure. Probably in the 300-range. Of course that excludes all the books I read in school and college. I'm talking post-college. Good books on epistemology are quite rare. My understanding of epistemology largely comes from years of my own personal contemplations, not books. Although I will be adding some more epistemology books to my book list in the future as I'm doing a lot of research into it right now. Yes, one. All fears are the same. You must face them head on or they will enslave you. Either way will work. Some yoga and walking meditation is healthy I think. Too much sitting isn't good for the body. You should watch my video: Meditation Technique: Do Nothing "Do Nothing" is a very specific technique. A few points about this: Yes, that's sorta my style. I like to be a bit abrasive and confrontational. I also do that because it amuses me. When I speak, it's like I'm acting in a play, or like I'm doing standup comedy. The fact is that most of the things I say are so obvious that they should be common practice. So some outrage is warranted. It would be dishonest to speak about such things nonchalantly. Society is a chimp circus, and it needs to be called out for it. In this way, I'm sort of channeling George Carlin when I speak. It's a bit over-the-top on purpose. Of course my ego is still intact, so it must show through in my work. That cannot be avoided. All enlightenment teachings are misleading, by definition, regardless of style. I find "modest" styles and teachers to be extremely misleading, even if they are very enlightened. I speak to a very broad general audience on Youtube where most people have no idea what enlightenment is, nor are they serious about pursuing it. So my style is aimed at getting them interested. That's a very different challenge than what someone like Peter is doing. Peter is only teaching small handfuls of extremely hardcore students. I teach A LOT more stuff than Peter or your typical nonduality teacher. I talk about lots of pragmatic things which have nothing to do with enlightenment. The aims of my teachings are more ambitious. A lot more territory must be covered to assemble THE BIG PICTURE which no nondual teacher gives you. My communication style will evolve and improve in the future as I become more conscious and authentic. I always tell you guys to think for yourselves and to don't believe me. My videos are already long, and I'm tired of saying it. It should be obvious that all my words are merely words. Comparing me with Peter is rather unfair. You can compare me to him when I'm 65 years old. Wheat is just empty calories and is hard for your body to digest. Without eating wheat, it is almost impossible to become fat. What's wrong is that reality is immaterial. I like having one girl who I like. I don't think polyamory is healthy or sustainable. Nope. Sometimes in early 2018, hopefully. Beans, no. I have tried, but nuts make me feel nauseous. They are too rich for me so I avoid them. ??? If you want that, you should be the one telling me. I want to make an entire course about it. Too much hassle. It takes dozens of hours to prepare things like that. Yeah, we'll get to it at some point. It's not an easy topic to cover meaningfully in 1 video.

@Max_V Nothing whatsoever is egoic unless you make it so.

@Ocean Yes, of course. The circular logic which holds together every paradigm is the only thing there is to create a sense of solid reality. Which is precisely why people are so adamant about continuing their circular logic. No circular logic, no reality.

There are 1000 different techniques I haven't covered, because it would take 100 years to cover them all. It's a good technique which I'll cover in the future. But also, if you think doing love and kindness will enlighten you, good luck with that. It's quite indirect.

@Phill You need to realize that there is no substitute for action. How do you develop discipline? You just fucking do it. You take that lazy ego and you force it to submit, like a dog. And if you are too lazy to do that. That is it. You're stuck forever.

@BjarkeT That's precisely the point of research: to investigate things which you have no clue about. If you only research the things you know, then you're researching in a circle.

You are not realizing that your intent to do research is biased, paradigm-locked, and not genuine. You only want to do the kind of research that fits your paradigm and validates your core assumptions about reality. If you really cared about doing research, you would be eager to smoke some DMT, rather and coming up with excuses for why not to.

Of course there is a reason. The reason is: Absolute Infinity!

Of course sanity/insanity go full-circle.

Well of course. That's what no-self means: no distinction between self/other. You had an enlightenment experience into the nature of What is another?

@egoless In that case we had an honest miscommunication. Sorry.

I mean, most musicians do drugs. Drugs are part of that sub-culture.

@Chrissy j There is an old Chinese proverb which say something like: He who is saying it can't be done shouldn't stand in the way of the one doing it. The problem is that those psychologists writing for Psychology Today are themselves neurotic as hell. There is a big difference between working on yourself and being an academic who reads books about dysfunctional people. You can read every textbook ever written about psychology, but it will not grow you much as a human being.
