That is a moot point because normal life conditions and genetics influence your ability to understand anything. I have no idea if you can or cannot understand Alien Consciousness. Best to keep an open mind about it because you don't know whether you can or can't, and it would be a shame to artificially limit yourself through negative thinking.

God is Intelligence. So no way around that one. But keep in mind that most "smart" people are pretty dumb when it comes to matters of God. God's intelligence is something else. But then you could miss out on amazing stuff by your own lack of faith in yourself. You have no idea what you are capable of. You can realize Nothingness, but the God I speak of is something else. Again, I am not saying you need to fit human notions of "smart" to realize God. But you do need a certain intelligence to see through your own illusions, constructions, and self-deceptions. I am unsure how much of that is genetic vs acquired. Probably some combination.

All advanced spiritual teachings will only be realized by a tiny percentage of students, for whatever reasons. No news there. If you were mentally retarded you could not make use of my teachings. But many of my teachings are quite simple and easy to understand and start to put into practice. Alien Consciousness -- I don't expect anyone to get that. But understanding how politics works is easy enough. No, I don't consider myself a genius. I'm fairly normal, with some above average intelligence, but not anything crazy. I do not have any special spiritual talents other than 1: an insane, superhuman sensitivity to psychedelics. Psychedelics do not work on anyone else as they work on me. What I can get from psychedelics no one else gets. And that's nothing I did, it's just my genetics. The first time I took 1 hit of weed I tripped for 12hrs. A trip so deep no one here would understand. A trip that renders all human enlightenment horseshit.

No. My mind is not good at math. My mind is good at higher things.

@Water by the River None of your spiritual rationalizations can explain the simple fact that a chimpanzee cannot do spirituality. You can quote spiritual texts all the day long, but at the end of it all a chimpanzee is still an chimpanzee. And the only reason you can parrot spiritual texts is because you happen to not be chimpanzee. But your awareness of this situation is not that much higher than that of a chimpanzee. So here we are. No amount of meditation will get a chimpanzee to realize God. Thems facts you have no answer for.

What it means is that all human spirituality is childish nonsense. Humans keep trying to convince you that they understand God, or even transcended God. And they ain't.

Keep it as simple as possible. Focus on what really matters: Deep Pranayamas. You don't need all the bells and whistles.

Maybe. Or maybe it means Putin invades Moldova next. You don't really know Putin's aims. Nor does John Mearsheimer. Thinking that Putin will only take a chunk of Ukraine is foolish and naive. Putin will take as much as he can steal. I do generally agree that NATO has been expanded too much and should stop expansion. But you also have to understand, US foreign policy is not set by the President, it is set by the deep state, who will not allow Trump to surrender NATO to Putin. The CIA and DOD are not stupid like Trump, and they will not let Trump just do stupid things. Our CIA understands that Trump is a dangerous fucking clown. The CIA has smart people.

Nonduality is too simple because it is ultimately wrong. Nonduality is not God-Realization. Nonduality does not explain God. I have experienced God so deeply that you cannot fathom it. And what spiritual people talk about is not it.

He didn't train with the masters. He traveled all across Asia looking for masters and only found 1 guy who knew better than him. Ralston IS the master. He made it himself from scratch based on insane consciousness. Nothing in the martial world is based on insane consciousness. It's based on being a chimp. No one here understands what Ralston accomplished.

Not likely.

Don't equate higher consciousness necessarily with seeing more hidden stuff. It could be that, but doesn't have to.

I don't understand what you mean.

It only interconnects if YOU interconnect it in your mind. And that's the work of creating a life purpose.

I would speak less and look for ways to move out. Your speech is always limited by your location.

Trump would just appease Putin and get played by Putin because Putin is a genius and Trump is an ignorant clown.

That kind of doubt opens the door to bad trips.

That's because he didn't fully awaken. He got lost in astral travels and theory-building. I promise you, God is Infinity. Reality is Infinity. That's the final answer. Nothing less will do.

They can be, depending on how deeply you pursue them. But if you're just dabbling in those things then it won't be enough, it won't be very meaningful because it's such a weak, shallow, self-absorbed purpose. What is the point of all your reading of books? What will you do with it? Just sit there looking at your toilet? That's not inspiring. See, if you were reading books in order to help mankind colonize Mars, that would be deeply meaningful and inspiring.

According you, of course. Who else is there? Existence does not provide enough for everyone. All organisms must work to survive. 1) Simply being does not give you any reason to live or thrive. At least for most people. 2) Unless you are multi-millionaire, you must work to survive.

That's a very stupid argument. The truth is that Biden is much more of a threat to Putin than Trump. And bad diplomacy is what starts wars not ends them. Putin's desire to invade Ukraine had nothing to do with who was president. Putin has been grinding an axe against NATO for 20 years. The only thing Trump could have done is just given Putin everything Putin wanted or disban NATO. Which is not a wise move.

I would argue it's very ineffective to teach any kind of abstractions or principles without a slew of examples because your mind simply cannot grasp an abstraction out of thin air. The abstraction was originally derived from specific examples. How did Ralston develop his principles? By confronting real life examples and themln having abstract insights from them. This is why I shower you with examples. Because examples are empirical while the abstractions and generalizations are not. If you had the right collection of examples you could easily derive the principles yourself. Ralston's style of teaching is often not effective because it is too advanced.

Most people in Orange think like you. Which is why we have the problems we have. If you multiply your logic by 100 million other people, you see the problem with it. He's just not that powerful. A president has little control over such things. He would at the least need to get laws passed, which MAGA Republicans would block. Look at which party is most opposed to Wall Street and business regulation. What you are talking about is regulations on capitalism. The Biden admin has done a lot to crack down on and sue big monoplies like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Ticketmaster. This would NEVER happen under Trump. Should Biden be doing more? Yes. But Trump will do nothing. And even make things worse by cutting what few regulations we have.

Not really. What changed was just knowing what to expect and relaxing into it.
