You are getting out of line and spreading low quality takes on this forum. This is a warning. If you keep making low quality posts like this, you will be kicked out of here. We have quality standards here. This is not Reddit where you can post political garbage without consequence. -

I am well aware of BPD's MLM background. -
You can do that here! Just start a thread. It is not good to fragment this already small community into private subcommunuties.

There are some people who are by default as high as on psychedelics without any psychedelics. Then it's very easy to intuit this stuff. Otherwise it's very hard. Teal Swan is a good example. As I said elswhere, state drives everything you do and are capable of. If you were in a mentally retarded state you could barely add two numbers together. -

Depends a lot on your spiritual talentedness and baseline state of consciousness. It would be easy to intuit if you were just born with a higher baseline state. Some people are born enlightened so to speak. -
But then you're NOT a loser because you never even set that goal for yourself. It's like if I called myself a loser for not being a doctor, even thought I never even tried it. You have a new goal now, so go for it.

This is incorrect. Truth is not only the absolute. There are also many relative objective truths, which are distinct from subjective truths. For example, you can be wrong that the Earth is flat. That would a relative objective truth. You could be wrong about many relative objective things. For example, you could think that whales are fish when are mammals. You can also be objectively wrong about many psychological insights and notions. For exmaple, you could be wrong science is not a belief while religion is. Many, many people are wrong in their understanding of psychology, philosophy, epistemology, science, religion, spirituality, politics, human nature, business, men vs women, etc. You can even be objectively wrong about what is best for someone. So, ironically, you are wrong in your understanding of this topic of wrongness

This just means that you were probably already fairly spiritually talented and saw the world in a more advanced way than most people. If you could easily relate with normies you probably would have not woken up so easily. That's the tradeoff. -

Now Trump's campaign will be the most shameless ever. He's gonna use every scummy trick he can think of because his only chance of avoiding prison is to beat Biden. Trump is now a cornered rat. -
A++ trip report!

Has anyone ever not appealed a ruling? -
Yes they are. But the real question is, why aren't you seeing results? Really think about this question until you understand. It's time to cut the crap and get to the bottom of this.
-
Why be so one-minded about it? You should always be considering multiple perspectives, not operating off a single perspective for 10 years. And you should be evaluating your results at least once a year. If you are not see any results after a year of effort, then clearly you need to try something else. What you can do is focus on making money, if that's what you need. But, frankly, I think you will find it difficult to get results in this domain as well, because I think the issue is that you're behaving in ways that don't produce results. Try focusing on actually generating a result, in any area. That seems to be your biggest sticking point.

Love is not simply something to be felt. If you want to really grasp love you gotta cognize it, not feel it. Comprehend WHAT Love is. Bliss is not the same thing as cognizing Love. If you successfully cognize Love, you will go way beyond bliss, you will enter ecstacy. -
That would be the mistake I was pointing to. But Ralston's style is not for everyone. He's in his own niche.
-
That is a strength mine, but at the great cost of overburdening my mind. It's no wonder nondualists don't take my approach. Much simpler to just meditate. Ralston is not great at communicating to normies and newbies because of the freak he is. He doesn't resonate with how normal people think, because he's never thought like them. I don't idealize him at all. I have been critical of him. But you are not giving him enough credit. There are some. But not all freaks are equally freaky. He is indeed a special kind of freak. Freakier than most. Freakiness comes both in degrees and in kinds.

That's the aggressive ignorance I was talking about. -

Don't forget Brazil. -
I am working on both fronts, up and down. And if I discover in the end that down was better to up, I will let you know.

Well said.

Yes, this is the fundamental problem with capitalism, it actually rewards some of the easy and less important jobs while underpaying the most important ones like school teachers and other kinds of helper roles. It's twisted that a Hollywood actor makes $50 million of 3 months work while the teachers of their children earn $60k/yr.

I did, but I'm refreshed at the moment. -

@Aaron p My pleasure. -
A Purple caveman can be enlightened or awake. Spiral level is independent of enlightenment or awakening.
