It doesn't falsify it per se, but nonduality is a mental framework which limits what consciousness is very much. You have all sorts of ideas in your mind what about consciousness is and how it works from all the nondual stuff you've read. These frameworks need to be dropped to truly explore consciousness. No Samadhi is much less interesting or radical. I've had plenty of samadhi with physical objects.

Don't even get started with me. You don't know what Awakening is yet. Notice something: all you guys here who think you're advanced and humble, you're actually extremely arrogant. More arrogant than me. You just hide it under a veneer of spiritual humility. Don't think for one minute that that's fooling me. That will fool your Buddhist gurus, because they play the same game, but it won't fool me.

As I told you, you're playing games. And none of this is personal. If you're gonna be on this forum, I will tell you when you are not Awake. And if you find that unloving and disrespectful, you're not gonna like being here. It's not about being better than you.

@Etherial Cat Keep playing your games. Meanwhile don't kid yourself. You've got a lot of awakening left to do and your fave gurus will not help you achieve it because they themselves don't have it. All I'm here to tell you is that your spirituality is a sophisticated game. But none of that is fooling me. Nothing personal.

You sure would like that to prove your case. Unfortunately for you I'm not so insecure about whether you believe me or not. I don't ban people just because they disagree with me.

I'm sure there were war crimes committed in that region by both sides. It's basically Russian vs Ukrainian ultra-nationalists fighting against each other for control over that land. Atrocities are just gonna be part of any fighting that happens in that region. I wouldn't blame any one side over that. We clearly see Russian troops committing all sorts of atrocities in this war. They are just not very professional or well-managed military forces. They are mostly just winging things and so atrocities result.

It's okay to do 5-MeO-DMT before Aya because 5-MeO is out of your system after about 90 minutes. But if you reverse the order it can get into lethal territory.

Not really

@Hello from Russia Of course Putin is just using that as a lame excuse to have his way. The real problem for him is not Nazis, it's the West taking over Ukraine.

Every time you open your legs, Earth is watching

No, it's not a visual thing.

Earth demand you be less slutty

Great show.

There is nazis (extreme nationalists) in every country. This idea that Putin says that there are literal German Nazis in Ukraine is silly. What he means is extreme nationalists, which of course every country has. Basically the hardcore American MAGA are akin to nazis.

Hitler comparisons will not help you understand this situation. Maybe. I'm not really arguing for or against that here. There is a larger issue of NATO and Western hegemony which everyone in the West just ignores. But Putin cannot ignore that.

Listen to his interviews, speeches, and study his life. He does not behave at all like what you suggest he is. He's not at all like Trump. Trump is a shallow moron and coward. Putin is a genius and patriot. You are not considering how much stronger NATO would be if Putin just let the West slowly co-opt Ukraine and turn it into their staging ground. And yet, consider how American politicians would react if Russia co-opted Mexico and placed missile silos in Tijuana. In practice Ukraine is not powerful enough to have a voice in this. This is a proxy war over who controls Ukraine, Russia or the West. From Putin's POV Ukraine is just a puppet for the West. Ukraine has no power without the West and it does the West's bidding. Also, Putin considers Ukraine as part of Russia, historically. To give it up to the West is like a huge betrayal of loyalty. I'm not saying Putin is right. I'm just saying, try seeing the situation from a non-Western perspective.

I suggest being careful not to project your human "stuff" onto planet Earth's consciousness.

Rational doesn't mean you can't miscalculate. His calculation was that the Russian military would overwhelm the Ukrainian military. This was a reasonable calculation. It's also not rational from Russia's perspective to sit back and just allow Ukraine to become a staging ground for NATO nuclear missile launch sites. Because NATO would start installing nuclear missiles sites in Ukraine. That's not as contradictory as you think. Putin basically wants to create a independent geo-political pole to the West. This will involve some short-term suffering for long-term gain in power and autonomy. He also could not allow Ukraine to join NATO without a fight. Putin basically sees NATO as a virus that is spreading across Europe to infect the Russia empire. You're not really seeing the Russian agenda. You are looking at this from a Western agenda. Which is not sufficient to make sense of the situation. It is not the case that Putin is just a greedy bad guy.

Putin is not doing this for personal gain. He's doing it to strengthen Russia's geo-political power on the world stage. He wants Russia to be a respected and formidable super-power again. He's doing it so that we no longer have a monopolar world order dominated by the West. He's doing it to increase Russian sovereignty, because he is a patriot and nationalist at heart and he wants Russia to be respected. Basically, this is a war about respect and sovereignty.

Certainly better than drinking.

Tell that to the 40% of the Roman population who where slaves. You have no idea how brutally hard life used to be.

@Hello from Russia Putin is a clever fox.

You guys can barely handle a little mouse action

Okay then. Just warning you guys in case you get ideas.
