@Nexeternity Thanks for the feedback

Yes, with every update I delete a few of the lowest books on the list so overall quality rises. I want the list to be tight.

@Finn If you get stuck like that, just skip that part and move on. Don't be perfectionistic. You can always revisit a part. The key is not getting paralyzed. That's the worst of all possible scenarios.

Eric Maisel has a lot of books around that subject.

The problem isn't so much about the eating of meat, it's about the way meat is obtained, through terrible factory farming. If you were in a rain forest hunting for wild birds, that would be a totally different story.

https://www.actualized.org/articles/grasping-the-illusory-nature-of-thought Clearly you need to start meditating.

Visualization is an ENORMOUSLY powerful tool when used right. Like any tool, it can be abused. It's not a matter of visualization vs meditation. Do BOTH! (at separate times)

@DnoReally Consider the possibility that the fabric of reality itself is intelligent.

@Monkey-man I will shoot a video about evolution soon. It's a deep topic. I didn't say 100% of all mutations are perfect. Obviously there are some bad ones. In fact, most of the random ones are bad. It's the intelligent ones that lead to progress.

@ZX_man The title says otherwise.

@RossE Good work!

The real paradox is that enlightenment is easy.

An appearance is that which doesn't exist, by definition. The problem is that you're attached to non-existence being some black void. No. Non-existence is the natural world. Look around you! You're inside of non-existence! Everything you see doesn't exist. That's what NOTHING is! Nothing is everything. You won't get this without enlightenment.

Of course. But it doesn't seem too hard. You can find guides online. You basically just chop it up, blend it up, boil it, and strain it. It's gonna taste nasty though, and mescaline almost always causes vomiting.

You can buy San Pedro cactus at Walmart, BTW.

Mescaline is supposed to be one of the most gentlest psychedelics. Although I'm sure it gets crazy at high doses. San Pedro cacti also vary in potency A LOT. Their mescaline content depends on the amount of sunlight the cactus got.

They don't.

No, it's ACTUAL dying. It's just that your paradigm shifts so much that you realize you were dead the whole time. The way to face that fear is with an overwhelming trust in Truth. You surrender to Truth until reality collapses and you just die. At the moment of death, you discover Nirvana. A peace and stillness the likes of which no human mind can imagine. It kills you with its beauty. It is infinite peace. Try to grasp it right now! You -- the thing which is conscious of all experience -- is death. You're dead right now. You just don't realize it. Death is conscious of life. Take a close look, if you dare

@cosmicrays Yes, of course. All your energy is blocked up. Your heart chakra is closed. It's a hell of a thing to unblock your heart charka. You feel like a brand new person afterwards. Like your whole body freed up. Unconsciousness doesn't just reside in the head, your entire body is physically blocked up, from head to toe. Emotions do not reside in the head, they are carried mostly by your body. Anger, fear, guilt, sadness, etc. That's all in your body.

@Alex K Go to Walmart and buy a box of foam earplugs for $3. You could even buy a set of gun-range quality ear muffs.

No-mind is useful too, in a different way.

I don't mean physical suicide of course.

@stevegan928 2 grams be enough to blow your mind. 4 grams will mindfuck you out of existence. Yes, it will guide you to truth. In 1 trip you will learn more than you have from all my videos.

Good... Good... young Padawan. You're starting to see the devil in you. The devil loves to lurk in the shadows of unconsciousness.

@Danny M Start slow. This is a long-term game. It's better to do 15 minutes solidly, consistently, than 2 hours every day for 4 weeks, but then quitting in frustration. Treat this habit as a life-long skill you're developing. So there is no rush. With that said, don't distract yourself either. You should be able to commit to 15 minutes per day if you're serious about truth. You can always increase the time as you get better. Quality of inquiry is far more important than quantity. 15 mins of rock solid, laser-focused inquiry is better than 90 minutes of sloppy, dreamy inquiry.
