When you realize this about ALL of life, your work is done

Ken Wilber, Daniel Schmachtenberger, and Peter Ralston are good examples of Construct-Aware+

My main deal is understanding because you cannot do anything else without it, certainly not unwinding the ego.

Don't know what that means.

If guys need a simple basic male rolemodel look no further than Joe Rogan. Rogan has integrity and a kind heart while still exuding the sterotypical machoness, silly though it is. Schwarzenegger is still amazing and wise. Why would anyone pick Tate over Schwarzeneggar? Tate looks like a wet pussy by comparison.

As cringe as woke can be, it's still far better those people who haven't even reached "woke". Like MAGA and Red Pill. Obviously "woke" never meant spiritual awake. The funny thing is that most people in the world have a lot of work to do just to reach "woke". It's also funny that carrying about inequality is all the sudden demonized as "woke", when really it should be the default position of any human.

I vape the shatter, which is concentrated weed. I have also just smoked weed from a bong. It has the exact same effect on me, although needlessly painful on the lungs. Weed has a really bad sub-culture going on. Nobody is using it to seriously trip, they are using it for fun. Which is why pure THC isn't sold much. I can plug oil, I don't care. I'd still consider that pure THC.

I do care about unwinding the ego. Nothing I say precludes that.

The difference is, in heaven you get to skip one day of cardio.

If Tate were imprisoned that would send a nice message and wake-up call to his young audience that this philosophy is bad. It won't convert the die-hard fans, but most of his followers are not like that. So deplatforming him and convicting him is not in vain.

You can help 100 women, but if you rape 1, that's enough to make you a scumbag. So such defenses cannot fly. And really, I would say Tate's greatest crime is teaching this sex trafficking business model to thousands of men, thereby normalizing it in their minds.

I have not found it any more addictive than any other psychedelic. But weed affects me very differently than most people.

You ARE society. Society cannot do anything unless you create it first. Some day you need to realize that society owes you nothing, not even life.

Society rewards you with many things which you are too ignorant to understand or appreciate. Nobody is stopping you from creating massive value. You are just too incompetent to do so. And your political narratives are just an excuse from confronting your own incompentence.

It's good to see these Red Pill people discredit themselves with their own nonsense. The toxicity from such ideologies will always be self-defeating and an embarassment to decent people. Nothing they say can ever normalize the manipulation and exploitation of women that is at the heart of their game. So this thing was destined to implode.

You are projecting and got your ego way too wrapped up in this. I clearly stated that he is a toxic guy from the beginning. And when video emerged of him scamming his male customers, I called him out for being a scammer. You wanted me to ban discussions of Tate from the whole forum, which of course wasn't warranted no matter what he did. And also, I never saw these newest videos of him confessing to tax evasion and whoring out his own girls. The criminal sex trafficking stuff is just now coming to light. Most early discussions of Tate centered around his Red Pill chauvenist philosophy. Now things have escalated way beyond philosophy. I have never defended Red Pill philosophy here. But people are free to discuss about it within reason. If Tate had an account on this forum he would have been banned long ago, but discussions about him will not be banned simply because he is a scumbag.

That's a given. A sociopath will always find weak and vulnerable targets to leech off of. He uses their empathy and decency against them because they justify to themselves, "Well, surely this guy couldn't be such a heartless monster, maybe he just made an honest mistake?"

Yes, absolutely that. That's all it is. Self-awareness. Yes, that's all there is to meditation. Anything more is a distraction. You can move your focus around as you sit there doing nothing. You can focus it like a flashlight into the body, but I recommend you maintain the wideest possible focus on your entire field of experience. The body will be part of that but play no special importance.

It's really quite outrageous how shameless Tate was in confessing his numerous crimes on camera. He's exactly the kind of character I pegged him as when I first heard his name. But way worse. I gave him too much benefit of the doubt. Anyone defending this is flat out retarded: Tate is a classical dark triad sociopath. This has nothing to do with being a man or being conservative. He's just a criminal con-artist. But even worse. He whored out his own girlfriends to cover his gambling debts. That's all you need to know about him.

Do-nothing is the core of meditation. Combine do-nothing with a gentle but firm concentration on doing nothing. Ease into it. It has to be comfortable and easy. Basically just sit and be at total ease with the mind not constructing anything.

Yes! Well said. That's exactly how it is, only it gets more and more insane the deeper you go. Salvia is clear but very mentally uncomfortable and disturbing for me. It feels like throwing a baby into the middle of a 100 mile swamp at night and just leaving it there to survival all alone.

That's basically true of all "bad" experiences period: your mind is bad at interpreting the state and wants to avoid and escape into a more pleasant state.

Not for everyone of course.

I vape pure concentrated THC (called shatter), and even that I will soon replace with a sublingual tincture. I hate the taste of weed. If I could find pure synthetic THC powder that's what I would plug.

Of course it is.
