Of course. As soon as I entered Absolute Infinity / The Godhead, I immediately wanted to come back to the human dream. The Godhead is boring. There's nothing to do there. No drama, just endless peace. You don't want that much peace. You are a drama addict. It's more interesting than that. Those influences are necessary in order for the dream to not immediately collapse. The avoidance of truth is like the backbone for the whole dream. Without it the dream would just unravel like a badly knit scarf. God has to employ all its wits to fool itself into believing the dream. That's why it's so sneaky and deceptive. How else could God forget that it is God? It's a trick of the highest genius. God turns its own infinite intelligence against itself.

I don't disagree with that. As I said, healing trauma is important if you got it. Just don't make your whole life about that. And also, psychedelics can be used to unearth and confront trauma.

Unsure yet.

Infinity has no beginning or end, so it's not exactly correct to say that you started in Nirvana. You started right where you are now and you're trying to realize yourself. If you basked in Infinite Love you might change your mind and wish to be human again. Infinite Love is pretty boring. The drama of life is much more interesting. Precisely because there is no difference. https://www.actualized.org/insights/why-love

She is good at dealing with trauma and suffering. But God-realization has nothing to do with trauma or suffering. In fact, to become God-realized you will have to realize that all your trauma is just a story you invented to keep yourself asleep. Imagine telling that to Teal and her audience? They would rip you to pieces like a pack of dogs, haha. Healing trauma is great stuff. But it will not awaken you by itself. Nor will any amount of human connection and human love.

You can have a gf and friends, just don't cling to them too much. You can see in the documentary how deeply attached Teal is to her inner circle. And that's a huge problem. You cannot build the foundation of your life on any other human. If you do, you're in for a world of hurt and drama. Because eventually you will lose that human. And even before you lose them, those humans will be selfish and will not give you the infinite love you crave. So they will always disappoint you. The only thing that won't disappoint you is God/Yourself. Well, she's wrong about that, as evidenced by how much suffering her human attachments are creating for her. But of course you don't want to take detachment to an extreme where you cannot have healthy human relationships. Just don't build your life on top of other humans. Keep your human relationships somewhat loose. Be fully happy without needing anyone, yet still be social. That's what awakening is for. The more you awaken the more happy you will be on your own. At high spiritual levels you can be in bliss all on your own. You should not need an inner circle of pawns to be happy or to support you emotionally. Fundamentally what Teal seems to be missing is that she's dreaming up all others. She's lost in that dream, endlessly chasing other, endlessly dissatisfied. No other can ever satisfy you because all other is imaginary.

I didn't say the crudest survival strategies are the best. Survival comes in many, many degrees and it is constantly evolving. Evolution is survival at work. And everything is evolving, not just life but even mechanical stuff like your toaster. By having an awakening. You aren't an animal at all, you're God. Animals, physics, and science are just something you're dreaming up. The end game is you realizing that you're God dreaming the whole thing up. The end game is you realizing that there is no difference between anything. That's Love. End game is becoming Infinity.

Yeah, well, the problem is that she's using them as pawns for her life purpose in a monomaniacal way. Her dedication to her LP will backfire on her. Having such a desire to become spiritually influential is a big red flag for spiritual teachers. Spirituality is not supposed to be mainstream. To make it mainstream will cause all sorts of evil.

That's one of the core problems I see with her teachings. Her teachings are all about human connection, but you cannot ever satisfy yourself with human connection because the love humans give you will always be finite and selfish, creating suffering. Teal's whole approach will create enormous attachments to humans and to community which will prevent and pervert the deepest levels of spirituality. The real question is: Why does Teal need a new close group? What is she lacking that she feels she needs those attachments? There is good reason why the most awakened people are ascetics and hermits with very loose social bonds. Social attachments create suffering and deepen Maya. Community is not about Truth, it's about survival. And you see how her community is struggling with survival in the documentary. That survival will corrupt any spiritual pursuit. On a practical level Teal can cultivate a group of friends who she doesn't live with and who aren't her employees, but are her peers. This would be the healthy way to do it. This is what most humans do. You don't need to crawl up inside the asses of your friends. Keep a healthy distance. The problem is that Teal seems to want friends who are more like servants and emotional tampons rather than equals. At least that's what I get from the documentary footage. How accurate the footage is I cannot say.

You're drawing some distinction between humans and animals or nature, when in fact humans ARE animal and ARE nature. There's really little difference. Nature is all about survival and so is society and most humans. Selfishness runs through the whole thing. All human interactions are basically built on selfishness. So it does work. It just has certain consequences and suffering that comes with it. But that's true of all of life and nature. If selfishness didn't work, it wouldn't exist. The problem is that it works too well.

Yes, it was an unusual issue which we hadn't encountered in 8 years of running this thing. The internets are a tricky thing.

So... I watched the whole documentary now, all 4 episodes. It looks pretty bad by the end. But then I listened to Teal's responses to the documentary and it's hard to know who to believe. She claims the documentary was very deceptively edited. How truthfully edited was the documentary? Who the fuck knows. There are definitely plenty of red flags in there if the documentary is to be believed at all. The biggest problem is that she seems to live way too close with what should be her employees. There needs to be a boundary between employer and employee, such that employees are not your personal servants, pawns, and emotional support system. Employees must be allowed to live their own lives and have their own agenda. It seems that Teal is way too emotionally needy with them, using them as a surrogate family, the family she never had. Bottom line: don't live in the same house with your employees. And don't get too emotionally close to your employees. The boundaries between personal life and work life exist for good reason. It shouldn't matter who your employees are fucking. The fact that this matters to Teal is a problem. Teal's whole inner circle setup is very incestuous and will obviously breed problems and endless drama. It comes off as authoritarian, with her expecting everyone around her to bend to her agenda and have none of their own. This isn't sustainable, healthy, or in line with conscious relationships. Overall, I enjoyed the documentary. It felt raw and real. Even if it isn't true, it has good lessons there for how to not run a spirituality community.

Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. We were lucky not to lose more data. At this point all the functionality of the site and forum have been restored. Let me know if you experience errors or problems anywhere across the site. I checked most features and they seem to work but I might have overlooked something.

It will vary by type of crime.

Green is not so great at this kind of empathy. Green has more empathy than lower stages but Green is still judgey towards criminals, racists, and especially greed. Just take a look at how the TYT channel reacts to and demonizes those things. Yellow would be much more understanding and less judgey. Green SJWs tend to heavily demonize racism and greed.

Information about this here:

Physical game. Grab her, pull her in, stare in her eyes, start getting intimate. You have to stop playing games and get serious. Treat her like you want her sexually. She will either push you off or it will hook. Be prepared for rapid escalation and lead it towards a close. Don't just stand there and wait around. LEAD!
