By that logic you should be against Presidential term limits too. Term limits are important to prevent ossification of the system. Congress right now is way too old and out of touch. Some of them are literally too senile to govern, like senator Boxer, who has dimentia, yet still clings to power. Even the Chinese have term limits in their Communist party.

Yeah, something like that.

Being is far more profound than meaning.

Yeah, I've falling into that a lot. The reality is that girls don't care much about you until after sex. Many girls will not even consider things are exclusive after one time of sex. It usually takes like 3+ times of sex before a girl starts to really get attached. At that point you want to avoid hurting her.

It can help, but it can also turn into an escape from doing important manual work. It's easy to fool yourself into the thinking that psychedelics will fix up your life for you. Ideally you should be combing psychedelics with serious manual work.

I do, or you?

Well then, why don't you, as God, change the story to make yourself constantly high?

- - - - - - - What Tate and his followers should observe is, when one uses controversy as a marketing strategy, how it boomerangs and bites one in the ass. This is the problem with devilry. It's self-defeating. But when the devil gets a taste of his own medicine, he comes crying. When Tate uses his power over women, he's cool with it. But when women use their power over him, via #MeToo, he's not cool with it. But power is power. If you play games of power, you should expect tit for tat. If you're gonna fight with women, expect them to fight back. This is the problem with Red. Fighting leaves everyone bloody. It's lose-lose. When you realize this, you outgrow Red. If you're going to employ Stag Red as a marketing strategy in a 1st world democracy, you should expect to get cancelled. There's a reason why social media platforms aren't founded in Romania. You can run from the police, but you can't outrun a global platform or the public opinion of 1st world democracies. You shouldn't expect to get all the benefits of a 1st world democracy without playing by its rules. This is otherwise known as cheating. And of course Tate is a cheater. But the problem with cheating is that eventually you lose.

Locking this because this will just devolve into personal attacks on each other soon.

How many different ways can I tell you that you are imagining reality?

You're missing the simple fact that you are imagining it right now. So it is an idea. You have an idea that it's real and not an idea. But that doesn't make it not an idea. Sneaky! Consider the possibility that you have never slept even once, you just imagine you did. This would be some serious Awakening. Don't overlook the possibility that sleep itself can be a dream. "I have slept many times before!" Oh yeah? But how can you know that's actually true and not just a hallucination? You should wonder, How does God create sleep? Through what slight of hand?

Because you are trying to equate A with B via definition. To define anything is to say A = B. You're not yet realizing that reality is undefinable. Everything is itself. A = A, B = B, and so forth. But you have not awoken to the absoluteness of this truth. It seems so simple and obvious, and yet you are not conscious of it. This is a devilishly tricky matter.

How much?

Your ideas of formlessness are just a concept and you're certainly imagining that. But true formlessness is right here and now.

It's not appealing for ego. But it is appealing for God. There is nothing bad from God's POV.

It's not meaningless. Believe it or not, you are not conscious yet that A = A. You will only become conscious of it upon Awakening.

Consider the possibility that you are imagining deep sleep

It's a bit useful but you can find much better models and teachings. The question is what's worth your time studying? Don't waste time on low-yield material. There is too much good material out there these days.

I never expected him to have the best game given who he is. What you are missing is that not everyone is supposed to have great game if it doesn't suit them. There are much more important things in life. Moreover, having great game and knowing how to teach are two different things. I don't have great game, but I could teach it better than most, cause I am good at understanding and teaching. Owen's primary function is to inspire you to take action. Game is not rocket science. It's actually very simple stuff executed very consistently.

Robbed, or enabled? How can you awaken unless you are first asleep?

Love is not that. Love is the Unity.

They change your brain chemistry. And that's no small thing that you can just will your way around. Your brain chemistry dictates your entire experience of life. ENTIRELY. And yet, all of chemistry is ultimately imaginary. Quite a bitch of a the paradox, eh?

Mostly it's a waste of time. You'll get much better understanding of psychology by investing that time observing your own psyche and doing consciousness work. The work we aim to do here is way beyond anything an academic can fathom.

That's not a bug, that's a feature. You cannot define Being because Being is Absolute. The definition of Being is not a verbal one. It is Awakening itself. The only way you can know what Being is by Awakening, and no other way. Yes. That's called Awakening. You'll know the moment you Awaken. And not until then. - - - - - - You are not appreciating the depth of this matter of Being, is-ness, and existence. You treat it as something trivial. You cannot be satisfied without Awakening. Nothing finite will ever satisfy you, because you are Infinity.

This is actually incorrect. "Bodies die all the time" is your dream. No body has ever died -- you are imagining they did. But this requires a level of consciousness which few of you here comprehend. If you are deeply conscious enough, there literally is no such thing as death. Will this help you at the human level? No. Not at your level of consciousness. You are stuck in a dream, and your dream involves the death and suffering of bodies. But actually none of this has absolute reality. It is an elaborate illusion which you call life. And your mind clings to it. Have you never died in your dreams? What happens? Death is a dream. The reason this doesn't help you is because you're dreaming and terrified of the dream ending. All this may should theoretical, but actually it is the opposite. Death is theoretical. If you were conscious enough nothing could kill you. But you are not conscious enough, so you will die, cause that is your dream. Realizing this is the whole point of spirituality. But it requires levels of consciousness which almost no one is capable of. From the POV of your current state of consciousness, you will die. But only from that limited POV. As much as it might pain you to hear this, but terminal illness is still a dream. You cannot escape the fact that you're dream just by dreaming up something horrible. The most horrible shit in the world is still nothing but a dream. In fact, this is where you find salvation. Notice that what I'm saying is actually very positive: death isn't real. And what materialism and the ego says is very negative: death is real. And yet people get upset when told the positive news that death isn't real. The reason this twisted reaction occurs is because the mind is so attached to dreaming that it would rather die a real death than admit that everything is a dream. It has to be that way because this is how your mind constructs reality. If you didn't honestly, fully believe that death is real, you could not have reality as you know it. Once you realize death is an illusion, all of reality falls apart and nothing at all matters. And this is what you're really terrified of, perhaps even more than death itself. You are terrified of losing the construction we call material reality. The highest levels of awakening are so conscious that you are too conscious for even reincarnation because even that is realized to be a dream. At the highest levels of consciousness there is no past or future. There is only Absolute Now, which never ends. But this is not something your mind can comprehend or imagine unless you directly experience it. An integral part of what it means to be human is to be incapable of letting go of the imagination of your death. If you stopped imagining your death, you would stop being human and you would become immortal. But you are not conscious enough to do this through your will power. Hence you are stuck inside the human dream and you will remain stuck until some day you break out of it. This breakout will either happen via awakening or what you call death. Yes, all this feels like a slap in the face to your mind because your mind needs to believe that suffering is real. Telling the mind that all suffering is just a dream, does not please the mind at all. Even though this is the greatest news. The mind is in the business of dreaming, not Truth. The quickest way to piss someone off is to invalidate all their suffering by telling them it's imaginary. That being pissed off reaction is the defense mechanism against Truth. Truth is much more radical than people expect, so they are not capable of accepting it. This is the very core of how selfishness works. The finite self cannot accept itself as an illusion.
