How can you expect me to answer such a silly question?

What's shocking to me is that Ted Cruz doesn't have an outright ban.

Because to acquire that billion you will have to behave in toxic and dysfunctional ways which will seem repugnant to you once you're highly conscious. That billion will not be worth the debasement of consciousness which will be necessary to acquire it.

@The0Self Yes, you can make that additional distinction.

Permanence/irreversibility is not inherent to awakening. Defining it as such leads to mistakes and problems.

Acquiring power requires desiring power. The most conscious people have no desire for power. The same applies to the highest levels of wealth and sex.

Justice can take a while to boomerang. Be patient.

That's a legit awakening, although you could go much deeper in the future. You still haven't realized you are God. And many other facets are missing. Don't doubt yourself and keep going deeper. You are getting close to some epic awakenings. Yes, you will doubt yourself when you sober up because you lose that awakened state, and awakening is a state. You have to remind yourself that your sober state is a dream state and doubt is just part of the dream.

Yes, Spirit = Mind = Consciousness. It is the one and only substance of anything. A toilet is made out of Spirit/Mind/Consciousness.

Starting today I have implemented a new policy for the Politics sub-forum specifically to help clean this place up. The policy is as follows: If I see a member polluting the Politics sub-forum with consistently bad takes, gaslighting, excessive right-wing ideology, dogmatism, drama, misinformation, etc., rather than banning their entire account, I will adjust their account to disable access to the entire Politics sub-forum. This is necessary because some people are just not ready for mature, conscious discussions about politics. Obviously this is a subjective judgment call on my end, and anyone who gets their account adjusted will feel I am being biased and unfair, but that is better than letting such behavior slide. I don't claim to be completely unbiased, but someone has to moderate this place to keep it from devolving into a cesspool. Be warned that I am keeping track of usernames of people who consistently post low-consciousness, ideological takes about politics. So be mindful of what you post. This is not a matter of left vs right, this is a matter of truthfulness, consciousness, maturity, accuracy, and openmindedness. I am not happy with people using this sub-forum to spread propaganda, misinformation, and low-quality takes. It ends up flooding the zone with bullshit. I want our political discussions here held to a higher standard than the partisan culture wars found everywhere else online. Our aim here is to look at politics in a meta manner, transcending the partisan left/right divide. Obviously we will never meet this aim perfectly -- since we all have some degree of bias -- but at least let us try. If you notice certain members consistently failing to meet these standards, please report them to me (via PM) and I will review whether they deserve access to this sub-forum.

Going to Mars in our lifetime is completely unnecessary. It's a foolish idea for people who have their priorities backwards. But hey, it's your life. Spend it as you like.

Stop this nonsense and go do something productive.

It's simple: To get you to leave her alone. The #1 reason girls give out their number is so that you stop talking to them. Move on to other girls. Stop wasting time on girls who are not excited by you or who have boyfriends. Most hot girls will have a boyfriend, so nothing surprising about that.

Hahaha Wake up and you will stop wasting so much energy running away to Mars. Live smarter not harder.

Hahahahahaha.... You gave all your money to someone else to manage? I am done wasting my time here.

No

I've had much much much deeper awakenings. But still that one was pretty unique because it came from 10 day of meditation.

There is only ever ONE thing. Whatever you think there is, it is what I call Mind/Consciousness. The toilet is spirit, as it everything else. I have mentioned spirit many times in my videos. I call it "spirituality" after all.

@TRUTHWITHCAPITALT Glad to hear it works for you like it does for me.

If you wonder why there is a toilet in front of you, that's not a question of meaning.

The question wasn't really about meaning.

Probably because not all the shots were his to make. Twitter is a team effort, not one man's will. And the way you learn to build and run a new platform like Twitter is by making mistakes and learning from them. Nobody is educated on how to build online platforms. It has to be invented on the fly. I've made some mistakes running this forum. Then I learn from my mistakes and make modifications for the future. Nobody taught me how to run a forum, I had to teach it to myself through trail and error. There is no college class called: How To Manage An Online Spiritual Forum. And if there were, someone like me would have to teach it based on years of personal mistakes. Knowledge is hard-won.

They are happier than Fox News and other right-wing asshole pundits like Charlie Kirk. It's hard to seem happy when your job is to commentate on news every day and you have strong political beliefs. All else being equal, Green should be happier than Orange and Blue. Which is what Scandinavian countries shows relative to the US and Iran.

Look, nothing is ever gonna be perfect here. Consisting of the least biased and most conscious people that can be found. Obviously Musk could be king. But if he is wise he would set up an independent nonpartisan board. Not a WWII type board but a Supreme Court type board. We have solved this problem long ago in society by creating courts and judges who get elected and serve some term. Why did Mark Zuckerberg set up such a board but not Twitter? Twitter is behind even Facebook on this. Well, that problem runs through all governance. Who is to decide which laws to write, which laws to pass? Yes, ideally laws are written and arbitrated by the most developed, unbiased, conscious, wise people. Such people are rare and they are not perfect, but they do exist. It's no harder than finding a good CEO, CFO, or CTO. Twitter can set up elections for judges appointed to the board. But the only people who could qualify for the position are those who demonstrate nonpartisanship, intelligence, consciousness, and wisdom. Partisan hacks would automatically be disqualified. Such a system is not hard to establish if Musk really wanted to make Twitter great.
