You don't need to be perfect, but you should start to get your shit together. It's hard to counsel others when you're lacking in development yourself. The hardest part of running Actualized.org is that I have to work on all my inner demons, otherwise I give the wrong advice. It's hard to help people when your own mind is corrupted by the very same delusions from which they suffer. I may have to actually quit Actualized.org for a while to focus 100% on my own delusions. So I can teach better. But if you really feel called to it, pursue it. You'll figure stuff out along the way.

I dunno. You should direct that question to your testicles and see what they have to say on the matter.

@Mighty Mouse Workin' on it.

That's it! No more free videos! Out of compassion. P.S. Where do I buy one of those fuzzy hats?

@Hardkill You don't have to sleep with them. Just learn to flirt with them.

@Serotoninluv Then you should be picking up girls at the strip club. A dose of batshit crazy, alcoholic, and Daddy issues from there will keep your ego entertained and hooked like a fish

@Hardkill Fat girls need love too! Just keep the lights down. Sample the rainbow.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Ahahahaha.... You are in no position to set terms yet, young Padawan. Get good with girls first, then you can have your pick of the litter. You should be approaching even the hippopotami of the club to build your skills. Learn to flirt with grandma, then you can get with her foxy grand-daughter. Setting your standards too high is a big newbie trap. And I say this as someone who has very high standards. I learned my lesson the hard way.

I was joking.

You've got a terrible case of victim mentality going. Notice this. Stop thinking about failure, and start visualizing your success. Of course if you talk to enough girls, some of them will sleep with you. It's only a matter of time. Even a blind squirrel stumbled into an acorn. If you go out long enough, the odds will become so great at some point, that a random girl will just want to sleep with you for absolutely no reason other than that she's horny and you're the closest guy around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Bulls Don't take it too literally though. Enlightenment isn't the kind of thing that's mappable.

@Faceless Which relationship is unconditional??? You don't even have an unconditional relationship with yourself. You'd kill yourself given the right condition

Yup, quite a lot of it. My first success was from daygame. I stopped a girl at the mall who was walking and talking on her phone with her Mom. I convinced her to hang up on her Mom and chat with me instead. She was 25. That was an awesome victory! Very hot girl too.

Of course, that's called an arranged marriage in India

@blazed Your body also hates Truth The weed made you go deep precisely because you came into it with a totally open mind, free of preconceptions. That's the ideal state to be in: Beginner's Mind! Unfortunately you balked at Nothingness. God is a frightening thing to behold, especially to a 12 year old

Yes, that's precisely how it works for an ego/mind which isn't ready. Truth is an acquired taste. Much like alcohol or bittersweet chocolate. Kids don't like those. Psychedelics are extremely threatening to anyone who isn't ready to have their entire reality thrown into the shredder. And weed is just the tip of the iceberg. A true psychedelic would have scared the shit out of you. But I love 'em! They are just right for my kind of mind. On psychedelics, my mind becomes an infinite supercomputer, able to crunch the entire universe and scan the mind of God. It's too amazing to put into words.

No, there's actually remarkable and uncanny similarity between all trip reports. Almost everyone experiences nonduality at high doses. The question is, can they stomach it? When clueless people take psychedelics, they don't understand what they're shown because it clashes with the materialist paradigm so much, and they are so clueless they don't even understand that materialism is a paradigm. You cannot take a random person off the street and blast his mind with full nonduality. It's way too much for him to handle. He's gonna freak out and not understand a damn thing. But if you take a person who's been struggling, chasing nonduality for 3 years, going to meditation retreats, doing self-inquiry, etc. and you give him a blast of psychedelic, he will love you for it. It will be the greatest gift to him. Because he's ready to receive the Truth. He has a context for it. His mind is primed. Unfortunately once a person has been chasing enlightenment for 3 years, he's been programmed with so much dogma from gurus, that he is reluctant to take a psychedelic, because the gurus told you it's somehow impure or sinful.

Everything I denounce, I also don't denounce. The devil is none other than God. Yes, the devil is handy for staying alive.

No, it's not about pleasure. It can be quite horrifying. That's how you know it's real. If it was just all pleasure, you couldn't rely on it. I never look forward to doing psychedelics. It's something I have to force myself to do. It's like entering a cage with an untamed lion. You'd be a fool to do it too eagerly.

Yes, you can enter all these states, and have all these insights without taking psychedelics. The question isn't whether you can, but whether you will? Mystical states are a separate thing from insight and Truth. Just like all spiritual practices, psychedelics offer both peak state experiences AND insight and Truth. You can use psychedelics to enter a blissful state, just like you can use meditation to enter a blissful state. But you can also use them for growth and accessing Absolute Truth. Most gurus don't talk about psychedelics because they haven't done much of them themselves, they are difficult to source, they are illegal in many places, they are a relatively new technology, gurus have a dogma against it, and psychedelics put the gurus out of business. Once you find the right combination of psychedelics, you will never need another guru again. You will learn more from one trip than you did in 5 years of listening to the most advanced gurus.

@Faceless You're missing out

Of course drugs don't solve life's problems. Drugs can elevate your consciousness and show you that all problems are illusions of the mind. Yes, like any powrful tool, drugs can be easily abused in the wrong hands. Most people horribly misuse psychedelics. Just like most people horribly misuse spirituality. It's always possible to delude yourself, with or without psychedelics. For me, personally, psychedelics have been the #1 tool for growth. Nothing else even comes close. But that's just me. I can't speak about how you might misuse them. The way I do psychedelics is very carefully and thoughtfully. No, actually I was always a highly intuitive person. I have always denounced logic as self-contradictory, circular, and delusional. Whatever wisdom I possess comes from my mind's intuitive connection to infinite intelligence. Logic is a tool of the devil.

I'm not sure about anything. I am just sharing ideas which my intuitions tells me have some value.

Could also be that the models are the work of infinite intelligence trying to help people see the way. God's training wheels.

The clearest way to get a feel for what raising of consciousness is like, is by taking a psychedelic. Within 30 minutes you experience your consciousness raised to ungodly levels. It's quite astouding. You'll struggle to believe it even as it is happening to you. You can literally become conscious of how existence came into being and why it exists, for example. A more conventional way to feel a rise in consciousness is to compare yourself when you're foggy or horny or sleepy versus when you're sober and clear-minded. It's a pretty big difference.
