There usually is. Hard to grasp it all in one trip.

Ha! Funny. I love Tycho. Nothing quite like it. Don't forget Past Is Prologue

I can vouch for that one.

@beastmode Why ask me? Ask yourself.

The new video is already done. Just waiting for it to render and upload. It's virtually identical, just edited a few minor details that a few folks were getting too greedy about. Sorry for the troubles.

The new version will be virtually identical, so don't worry.

People started abusing the information I shared in that video, so I finally decided to take it down. A new version is coming soon which will have less abuse potential.

@egoless I told you the version number several times in the video. If I made this any easier, I would have to break into your house and install it on your machine for you while you sleep.

@see_on_see I would rather put my nuts in a vice than use Apple crippled software

What are you talking about? Apple is for unconscious people. People who don't know how to use a PC so they need their hand held and all advanced options and permissions removed Real men use Windows (or Linux).

Having teachers is totally fine. Becoming someone's follower is not good. It breeds too much closemindedness. I don't care how good your guru is, if you become his follower, you've screwed yourself. The reason you're following him is because you're lazy and don't want to think for yourself. Why else would you follow? That's the whole game.

@Dominik Drums FYI, there are tons of enlightenment sources within Western philosophy and intellectual history. It's got nothing to do with East or West.

@Greatnestwithin I do not. Don't like it.

Samsung makes a pretty good Windows laptop: https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/notebook-9-laptop/ But MacBook is still better, assuming you load Windows on it.

@Scarecrow What are you smoking? People are buying books and novels in record numbers. If you wanted to, you could become a billionaire writing books. The cross-over potential for fiction books is the highest its ever been: ebooks, TV shows, movies, console games, mobile games, apps, Legos, comics, internet, podcasts, merchandising, etc, etc. The only problem is, can you actually write a great book? No, because you haven't invested the time and energy to master that craft. But you could, if you really cared to. And why don't you really care to? Because you haven't made it your life purpose. Look at what Stephen King has done. There's no reason why you couldn't do the same. The only question is, do you have that as your vision?

Deep enlightenments. Or... psychedelics. You must answer the question: What is reality and why does it exist?

Tip #1: Don't Learn to lead yourself. The best gurus are self-made, and they want you to be self-made too.

You must be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when picking wild mushrooms. Don't do it unless you are an expert or with an expert. You could kill yourself.

@Eonn The instruction I give myself for do-nothing is: let go of all control and just observe what is happening. The "just observe" is awareness. Awareness DOES NOT REQUIRE DOING. You can be aware even inside a flurry of monkey chatter. This is a subtle point, but important. As a general rule of thumb: if you're not being aware amidst a meditation session, you're not doing meditation, you're doing something else. Awareness is THE KEY. An alternative instruction might be: BE MAX AWARE. Do anything you want, but be max aware.

@BjarkeT https://www.actualized.org/start And:

There's a staggering amount of research to do into finding your proper diet. It's not really about asking me for answers, but doing the research and experimentation for yourselves. Diet is an individualized thing, and diet will evolve with you as your consciousness increases, so it isn't just about getting it right once and for all. I've been evolving my diet for the last 15 years and I'm still not done. Read some books about nutrition. Not fad diets, but nutrition fundamentals. Focus on health, energy, and clarity of mind NOT gaining muscles or cutting fat.

@Serotoninluv Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Humans have intentions sometimes. A rock falling on your head doesn't. But both are acts of the universe all the same.

@Dj1 HCl will burn very easily. You have to master the technique through trial and error.
