Yup, that's the power of going out. Good work. Red pill and black pill are cancer.

It doesn't follow that he can transfer that into this life. Even memory doesn't have to transfer. Psychedelics states can be so radical that they do not store well in human memory. What you gotta keep in mind is that time is imaginary, so this idea of "did he REALLY spend 30 years there?" is not a very good one because those 30 years are not some objective fact, they are a dream within consciousness. So yeah, on salvia you could dream some crazy stuff, like spending 30 years in another life. That's not a mistake, that's how consciousness works at the deepest levels. The whole point of taking salvia is to erase the distinction between 30 years being objectively real vs imaginary. If you take enough psychedelics that distinction will disappear because it is dreamed up by consciousness in the first place. So this trip report could be accurate from his POV.

It's important to distingush between knowledge vs understanding/comprehension. Knowledge is conceptual and thought-based. Understanding is something deeper and more fundamental. Consciousness has the capacity to comprehend situations, which is a pre-linguistic thing. Comprehension tends to come naturally after a certain amount of experience. However, you can still strip the comprehension away and just have direct experience without any comprehension.

In that case I would order a club soda. Backlash is very rare. What can happen is not so much backlash as a socially awkward situation. For example, I lost a few girls when they invited me to smoke weed with them but I didn't want to smoke. It lead to a socially awkward situation which ruined the vibe of the interaction. So that kind of thing can happen. No

Stop consuming manosphere trash content.

In a certain sense it did by getting you lots of cheap products in stores at mass scale. Of course it doesn't solve wealth inequality.

That's not correct. Millionaires and billions use capital to build businesses, make investments, and create jobs. You're thinking in term of only consumer goods which is very limited. The point of having millions and billions is to use it to do projects that could not be done any other way, not to buy cars and yachts. And this is very important for the advancement of the economy and technology.

Not even close. It would be wise of you to bother to understand why politics exists and why anarchism does not.

No, Mind is the perfect name for it. You could also call it Consciousness. Has nothing to do with cheesecake. 1) It doesn't imply that. 2) I could also say that you calling it existence implies a duality (non-existence).

That's what they said about Prohibition and weed.

I suggest you stop thinking about finding love and just focus on socializing consistenty. And then things will just work themselves out. You will have an abundance of people to love. More than you can handle.

Of course it's identical to existence. Yes, but not "just". What is existence? That's a very profound thing. I disagree. This makes no sense since idealists have existed for thousands of years, long before materialism was popular or dominant. Most of the world's best scientists 300 years ago were idealists. You make it sound like idealism was invented post materialism. Well, that's a significant realization. Don't discount it. Mind is Absolute. I would just say that you have a limited notion of mind. Under your limited notion, your view makes sense. But I have a much deeper notion of mind.

Just because you got good genetics and good health does not mean you can't destroy it with reckless habits. So to have good health you need both good genetics and decent eating habits. Mostly all the good health habits which exist are not giving you health, they are just preventing you from losing your health. Creating health out of thin air is not really a thing. My situation is a lot better now but I still have to be very careful about what I eat or I will have pain. That's too difficult for me to discern. It's a very tangled system. When I speak of genetics I am speaking in a relative sense, not an absolute.

@jdc7733 The more you socailize the more these "magical" things will happen. It's just the serendipity of talking to people. If you talk to 5000 people you will get some insane serendipity going. All sorts of random good fortune and synchronicity will come your way. You will also have plenty of bad luck too.

Well, you're wrong about that. Truth is a very tricky thing. Which is why Awakening is required to understand it. No unawakened person knows what Truth is, nor do most so-called awakened people. In the end Truth is very simple, but your mind is so full of wrong ideas about it that you are all tangled up and confused. Just take a moment to look closely at your hand. That's Absolute Truth.

Of course Russian police are scary. They are all corrupt as the devil. Americans don't even know what corruption is.

Cool!

But it is a Mind. It is Imagination. That's what God is. You need a more advanced notion of Mind. Mind as an absolute, not as relative. You are treating mind as a relative thing, which of course doesn't go deep enough.

@Scholar Humans have been seperating themsleves into classes since the beginning of civilization. Nothing new there. Of course improving society overall will address the root of addiction. Although even in a great society or community there are addicts.

No, I just respect myself too much to drink.

Of course there will still be plenty of addicts. There will be addicts regardless.

I think that issue can be solved by prohibiting any marketing of these chemicals. It could also be solved by having government manufacture it as a cheap generic.

Because to improve society requires taking power away from people who have hoarded it. Which requires upsetting the current order. Progress always threatens the existing order. Conservatives tend to be those who benefit the most from the existing order.

I have been contemplating this issue some more and wanted to say that it's unclear what the net effect of selling cocaine and heroin at the pharmacy would be. It might be a net negative. This would need to be trialed and tested to measure its impact on communities. This is a complex issue with no easy answers.

Your current experience is Absolute Truth. You are over-complicating it. Truth does not mean you have to experience everything. Whatever your experience happens to be, that's Truth.
