If solipsism is true a sage is a trick you invented to keep yourself from realizing you are God. Don't you see? God has to trick itself to feel a sense of otherness. Otherwise God would be all alone. So the trick needs to be extremely tricky, otherwise God would immediately see through it. So you gotta contemplate how would God create a sense of other that feels totally real. What tricks would it use?

Dude, there are no sages. It's just you trying to grasp that you are God.

No

That's exactly what ping-pong is. That's what life is, a lonely God playing a game of chess against itself.

It's very bad to allow these fucking Tech Assholes to steal everyone's data and monopolize labor. No, I am not utopian about AI. The more I see of AI the more disgusting it gets. AI is not a solution to our problems, it is a scheme for a few billionaires to become trillionaires while everyone else is left with crumbs. AI needs serious regulation, not a free for all.

Yeah, I know. But he is fundamentally wrong that experience is not truth. Experience is Truth. He's missing the obvious.

I think AOC has an "annoying young woman" factor that will not play well. I personally like her, but I think she's way too easy to demonize as an annoying radical to average voters. And she is genuinely quite young and inexperienced for that role. Maybe in 10 years she would be ripe for a run. The fundamental problem TYT progressives have is that they are not mainstream, not popular. TYT lives in an echochamber, sniffing their own farts.

Many internet forums are good and useful. I have gotten much value out of other forums. People these days don't utilize forums enough. Forums are way better than hollow social media like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Discord. The reason I started this forum is because I got lots of value from other forums throughout my life and wanted one of my own, centered on my favorite topics, since good self-help forums are rare.

You are free to imagine you are not God. That works unless somehow your consciousness radically rises, at which point you can no longer act ignorant.

You guys still aren't understanding what God is. You are God. The one and only. You're still thinking that you are part of God rather than God itself. You're being too humble.

You are hallucinating taking that photo. You're not appreciating the depth of this issue. You are not seeing that absolutely any evidence you can think of it a hallucination. You can't even claim that you read books about WW2 because you hallucinated ever reading a single book! ALL of the past is a hallucination. So you can't even claim something existed 5 minutes ago.

I think it's mostly about personality. It has to be somebody likeable, with an authentic identity rather than a soulless career politician who says calculated things to not offend anyone. The candidate needs to be someone with charm and charisma. Pundits place way too much importance on policies and not enough on personality. Find a great personality.

The 5-MeO state will not stick. It is far too radical to be your default state. Your state will return to normal. You can however develop an understanding that all of your experience is a hallucination. You can break the materialist paradigm until it is dead. This would be a nice achievement.

Because God is an infinite mind that can imagine anything it wants. It has to be unlimited because there is no other to limit it. As soon as you have other you have a limit upon the Self. Other is a division of the Self. All divisions are imagined by Self. The ultimate nature of the Self is Unity. This is just a logical consequence of Unity. Unity IS omnipotent and omniscient.

Mind and Consciousness mean the same thing in my view. Everything you experience right now is what I mean by Mind/Consciousness. Your field of experience is it. By imagination I mean everything in your field of experience right now. All physical objects you see.

You are imagining all of history. It's like you are a character in the Star Wars universe asking about the Clone Wars. The Clone Wars only have reality if you imagine them. You are imagining WW2 and all the people in it, and all the physical evidence for it. If you stopped imagining it, WW2 would not exist.

@Hojo He's wrong because his model denies access to truth. He fundamentally misunderstands what truth is, what perception is, what experience is, what consciousness is.

Hoffman's view is false. Spreading bad ideas across the web.

No. You misunderstand what "real" means. Real means whatever you imagine, and nothing otherwise. That's what God is. God is the ability to imagiine any kind of reality. That means, if you aren't imagining it, it has no reality. China is real to you only because you imagine it is. If you stop imagining that China is real, it will stop being real. This work has nothing to do with assumptions. You need to become directly conscious what "real" is. I am not speaking from assumptions. I am speaking from 100% absolute consciousness of reality. I became so conscious that I understand I imagine China. This work is not about theorizing or guessing.

@Meeksauce The flaw in your logic is that for God to be omniscient and omnipotent it must have absolute sovereignty of mind. This is only achieved by having no other. If others exist, they automatically break absolute sovereignty of mind, which means God can't exist. What is God? God is the absolute ability to imagine anything without limit. This is only possible if it is the sole mind. As soon as you have more than one mind, power is divided between them. You can only have infinite imagination if no other entity exists to impinge upon you. Other minds would impinge upon your mind, thereby making you not-God. As soon as God imagine another mind beyond itself, and takes that seriously, God stops being God. You are welcome to imagine other minds, but then you aren't God. That's the price you pay if you want company. Or you can be God all alone. Up to you. Most people would rather trade God for company. And so they do. There is a further radical possibility of infinite sovereign minds all permanently isolated from each others. With no way to connect. This is what my Infinite Gods video was about. But these others minds would not be the people you see in your life. They would be completely inaccessible to you. The people you see in your life would still all be your own mind, so this doesn't really help you escape solipsism.

Recession is the best thing for us at this point. You better hope for it because it's the only thing that will wake Americans up out of supporting Trump's corruption. There needs to be pain for all this political stupidity because people are too self-deceived to learn any other way. The longer this corruption goes without punishment from the universe, the more disasterous the inevitable crash will be.

Almost certainly that's BS. New Agers love conformist talk about vibrations and energy, and most of it is fantasy. Binaural beats, however, do work. But don't expect a serious increase in consciousness from them. The effect is mild and mostly temporary. Your time would be much better spent doing Kriya yoga pranayamas. That can truly transform you in permanent ways. What you want from audios is what Kriya yoga can give you for real. It's a lot harder, but the results are much more serious.

At your stage of development grinding might be the right thing, for a time. However, eventually you'll realize that no matter how hard you grind and how many material goals you complete, you will be no more happy or satisfied than you are now. Even less satisfied because now the illusion of goals making you happy will be shattered. If you want real progress you need to work on changing your internal relationship to reality. That's the only thing that will change your condition. Of course if you are just looking to break free of wage slavery, hustle culture has its purpose. But once you are free of wage slavery you will still be exactly the same slave of your mind that you are today. I've spent so many years achieving goals that today the prospect of pursuing a material goal hardly interests me. My only goal now is higher consciousness of God. But it took me 10-20 years of work to get here.

For me it is a loving fusion. Cutting out fluff leads to pure Love. Those who chase love without cutting fluff end up with a poor version of it. Your Love has to withstand a brutal beating by reality. Beliefs and fantasies will not survive that beating. Trust me, life will beat you if it hasn't already. Like I said, don't pursue spirituality for negative reasons but positive ones. Deconstructing fantasies is not negative, it is positive. Do it joyfully.
