Psychedelic Self-Deception It's own domain of self-deception. Sneaky, sneaky.

That's an interesting topic. Painful to talk about honestly.

Sounds like you found a job for yourself

I acknowledge that the whole lot of them could just be high on hippie rationalizations and New Age fantasies. The woo is strong with those 3. I have fooled myself in the past that a girl was my divine soulmate when she was not even close. And psychedelics make that illusion 5x worse. They could be using psychedelics to brainwash each other. Hard to say. That's why I don't do collective spirituality and I don't mix sex with my spirituality.

He did exactly that. But he wants more than just sex with them.

Bin Laden had 5 wives. Aubrey Marcus will follow the timeless wisdom of Bin Laden. When times get tough, just ask: WWBLD? What Would Bin Laden Do? Answer: Impregnate a third wife. Allah willing.

Monogamy fails. Polyamory fails. Human love fails. Nothing new there. Human love is full of illusion regardless of who you do it with. That's why I don't have a problem with this.

I didn't get that vibe at all. Maybe you are just not understanding what they are trying to create. What they are trying to create is possible to create. Whether they will succeed is another matter.

The vulenerability is what makes it a genuine opportunity for love. The only question is whether they will be able to sustain it. That is the risk they are all taking together. It's an experiment in conscious love. Will it work? Who knows? But I think it's cool they are trying something bold and broadcasting it to the world. That's not an easy thing to do.

Sure, that's a common thing women do when manipulated by men. Yeah, but sometimes a crisis turns into an opportunity. Deep love works in unexpected ways. I feel that their love is genuine and deep. Could it all be an illusion they are bullshitting themselves with? Yes. But I am not that cynical here.

Like I said, maybe she is lying to herself, but I respect her enough not to automatically assume that.

But he didn't do that. He told her first that he wants a triad, then they split up, then they discussed it, she agreed, and then he went on Tinder to create what they agreed to. And he didn't just bang the new girl, he introduced her to his first girl and they all got along well and became friends. She agreed to this. Stop treating her like a child.

Because their entire conversation was very conscious and honest. They consciously decided to go into this deep, complex love tricycle and work through all the challenges they knew it would involve. That is very different than just emotionally manipulating a girlfriend to have a threesome.

I'm fully aware of how men manipulate women into open relationships. It's easy to do.

A case study in Emeraldsplaining.

Yup

You make a mockery of inspiration, which shows you don't understand God.

My analysis just takes her own words at face value. #ListenToWomen

You are trivializing his motives by comparing it to a crackhead. If God inspires him to find a wonderful partner to impregnant, that is fair game. That's a huge opportunity for practicing love. Not like a crackhead. Aubrey IS God. He is guiding himself and others around him towards a higher kind of love. Isn't that obvious? That's what his own channel and life is about.

That's how inspiration works. That kind of cynicism could be applied to monogamy. How convenient when a priest blesses your marriage or children! How convenience God inspired you to have children or love your partner. Of course God wants what you want for yourself. Of course everything spiritual humans do gets tangled up with survival. This love tricycle could be a great growth opportunity for the 3 of them. In which case God approves Or maybe God wants to teach them a painful lesson about self-deception. That is none of your business.

That is your opinion. She clearly says otherwise. Is she lying to herself? Possibly. But you can't just assume that. You have to be open to her speaking what is true for her.

That part I agree is delusional. It's not monogamy. It's rather typical polyamory. I don't really have a problem with that. Yes, Universal Mind can give insights like that. I mean, he is God. If he feels it is a good idea to impregnate both of them, who are you to say he is wrong? He could be right.

That's not true though from what she said and how she acts. She is clearly friendly with the other girl and benefits from that relationship. You have to be careful not to project your assumptions onto her.

I like him, but realistically his message is not going to be effective. He wants people to focus on political activism as a means of improving their economic situation, which is not going to really work. Government is not going to fix your economic situation. Although, yes, we should tax the rich more. If you are a serious person you have to drop the notion that government is going to help you. Government only helps the mega donors in any meaningful way, which is corruption. Gary sells the fantasy that government will help you. This is a dangerous notion for young people to believe in.

But he did effectively say/do that. She decided to stick around. Yes, he somewhat coerced her to rethink her relationship plans. But she seems to be okay with that. It's not like she really knew what she wanted. People's plans and expections can change. She was willing to explore a new kind of relationship, which comes with rewards and risks. As long as he was honest with her, then I don't see a problem here. She has gotten all kinds of benefits. Maybe letting go of what she wished and longed for is not so bad for her. Monogamy is not necessarily as great as it seems. It gets old after a while. She has a more exciting and dynamic life now. She can choose to like that or leave.
