Truth is just your experiential field. It could not be simpler. Don't make Truth into some kind of inaccesible abstraction. Look at your hand. That's Absolute Truth.

Me developing thicker skin on what issue? I have been forced to develop a lot of thick skin from people criticizing me on all sorts of issues. I force myself to endure perspectives here which I disagree with because I don't want to create an echo-chamber. Our general policy here is to control speech here as little as we can get away with, so that diverse perspectives are shared. I don't like blocking any perspective unless it is clearly toxic or in bad-faith. Or is just misinformation or dogma. - - - - - Anyhow, if you find content here that disturbs you, let me know and I will investigate it. If I think that it's harmful/toxic I will remove it. BTW, we issue warnings to people every week for vulgar posting. So it's not like people will get away with that here for long. Any genuine racist, homophobe, sexist, etc. will eventually get banned here. We have banned dozens of them.

Free speech absolutist types. No society/community has ever had absolute freedom of speech. Because it is too harmful and too easily exploitable. Every social space must have rules that everyone must follow. This is the basis for all civilization. This is not a mistake nor a violation, it's common sense and decency. All social spaces require observing basic decency. That's really all that moderation is meant to accomplish. But humans are so indecent that they struggle just to accept that.

If you find someone on this forum using hate speech or making violent gestures against minorities, or someone is bullying you, then report the incident to me and I will handle it. But if someone is just sharing a perspective you disagree with -- such as, there are only two genders -- that is not something we will moderate. You guys need to develop a thicker skin for handling contrary perspectives and philosophies.

You're lacking in nuance. If someone here is making threats of violence or using hateful slurs, they def get moderated. But if someone is just stating their philosophical position, that is legitamate, even if you don't like it. If hate speech is not being used and someone is presenting good-faith arguments, then I consider it fair for this forum. This is the point at which I do stand for free speech. This forum cannot just be a political echo-chamber. It's not necessairly about changing his mind, but about have discussions and people watch and learn.

The fact that you want the right to say anything regardless of considering how it affects others in your community just goes to show how juvenile and unintelligent you are. This lack of intelligence has become a disease.

What's missing in your understanding of this issue is that trans is a new topic for 99% of people in society. Their minds have to work to make sense of it. So it's very different from understanding cis gender. But also, the philosophy in the trans issue isn't really about trans people, it's about fundamental questions like what is a man and what is a woman? So yes, we are questioning cis too. And it also takes a lot of work to understand what it means to be a masculine man vs a feminine woman. None of this is obvious or easy. As far as that thread questioning black IQ, the thread was almost immediately locked by our Mods. Then I intentionly reversed the lock because I wanted to seriously engage the issue without simply shutting it down. We engaged the guy and it soon became clear to everyone that he had no good arguments or science to back up his claims. I think such discussions are much more fruitful and presuasive than just banning people or calling them racists. We had a good faith discussion. The guy was arguing in good faith, he wasn't just using racial slurs. Such people must be engaged in discussion. I am proud of that particular discussion.

I don't see how it will apply to this issue.

Obviously

Lolz. You guys are so silly.

@Someone here I tried to communicate with him about it. Communication with him became impossible. It was like talking to a robot. I have higher standards for Mods and spiritual teachers than I do for regular folk who just spout off about stuff. But even so, if I see consistent God-denial here, I will eventually kick those people out. I am ruthless about cutting through spiritual BS. That's part of what makes my work unique.

The problem is, virtually no one has even Awoken deeply enough for 1 minute. Yet they act like all that matters is permanence. You don't even know what consciousness is possible. You have vague fantasies, and all of them are nowhere near radical enough.

So much beating around the bush.

Such services exist and charge lots of money. I see them advertised in airline magazine all the time. Usually it works the other way around: quality women selected by trusted experts for men.

@Someone here I nudged him multiple times over the years to improve and clarify his style of communication, but he didn't really get the hints and in fact it got worse with time. Finally he started denying the existence of God and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I can't just allow supposed spiritual teachers on here denying God. So in the end it turned into the same situation as with WinterKnight. I don't know what these people are awakening to, but it ain't God and I want nothing to do with it.

Making videos is a tiny aspect of my creative potential.

Is it really necessary to rub salt in this wound?

You mean to reach God I have to stop thinking with my dick?!!! Say it ain't so! Pussy vs Truth... what a delicious existential choice!

There's definitely valuable lessons to learn from living among hippies. Just don't get stuck there. In the end those hippies are full of shit, just like everyone else What matters is not the average awareness of any community, but YOUR awareness of yourself.

Enjoy your programming

He's wise, but certainly not at the level of a Schmach or Wilber. What you're really talking about is Consciousness and Intelligence, which has so many degrees that it makes even the smartest humans look like chimpanzees trying to operate a rocket ship. That's basically what you get from JP when you ask him to talk about God. He simply doesn't have enough intelligence to understand it. But then again, neither does Wilber.

I remember a day some 15 years ago when I was playing WoW and dreading getting started on building my business, longing to play a little bit more. Despite the fact that even back then I knew that WoW is truly a stupid game. Sometimes you gotta be patient with yourself and just burn through some of that karma. Yes, of course you need a much higher vision for yourself that will ultimately simply eclipse WoW from your mind. That's exactly what happened with me. I haven't even thought about WoW for some 15 years. For me that would be like dreaming of eating shit off the sidewalk. But the point is, I had to work my ass off to grow to such a point. So don't feel bad if you're there now. Don't underestimate the power of baby steps done every day.

Touche. Yet somehow still, women are poorer judges of character. Character just matters more in a man. A man with a bad character is truly a beast.

No, it doesn't imply that. Your implications are just theories. Realizing you are God is DIRECT. It's not some deduction by process of elimination. She could believe she's a space-chicken. When she truly realizes she's God, she won't shut up about it. You'll be hearing her screaming it at you.
