8 hours ago, Ramanujan said:nah. if you read a lot you will find it. many unknown books that are not heard of exist . brian tracy read for 3 hours a day for 50 years
I struggle every day to find books worth reading. Most books I start I have to quit because they are just not worth the time.
These days when I find one great new book it feels like Christmas morning to me.

A confusion happens between Consciousness and having a mind. A doorknob is Consciousness but it does not have a mind so it cannot do what minds do.
When humans say that a doorknob is not conscious what they mean is that the doorknob does not have a mind.

On the other hand, it is great that this issue forces you guys to test this matter for yourselves rather than believing either one of us.
I don't want you to believe me, I want you to test if psychedelics raise consciousness. This is a simple empirical test.

@SimpleGuy Dude, women don't think in terms of shit-tests. That's a pickup concept.

The answer is simply Intelligence.
At the end of the day Intelligence decides everything.

Just now, Hardkill said:It's not always feasible for scientists to come up with findings that are based on one individual. They usually aren't clinicians who work with individual patients.
That's not my problem.
I am after truth, not science.

It's okay.

9 hours ago, something_else said:But the idea that you could cure pre-existing late stage cancer with a temporary prescription of broccoli and camping just seems a bit delusional.
You probably can cure some people that way. But that doesn't mean it is right for everyone.
Scientists make stupid average generalizations because they never deal with an individual. All they know are averages.

Just because it doesn't work on him does not mean it doesn't work on others.
A basic epistemic mistake.

Of course. Beauty is all there is.

Ralston is doubly wrong. Not only do drugs absolutely raise consciousness, no sober effort of any kind can raise your consciousness as much as drugs can.
It is not just that drugs can, it is that those who haven't taken drugs can't even imagine what drugs can do.
I have seen Ralston's students. None of them are conscious of what I have become conscious of and they never will be.
Self-inquiry is a joke.
Ain't nobody at Ralston's workshops conscious to the level of DMT. Nobody!!! Stop this BS.
It is hard for me to even recommend Ralston any more because of how wrong and dogmatic he is on this issue. He is misleading all of his students about psychedelics.
One breakthrough DMT trip is worth 10 Ralston workshops.

Just now, TheGod said:On the other hand, why should we face it or what is going to happen if we won't face it?
We live in the world with thousands of all possible distractions, why bother with loneliness issue if you can distract yourself all the way down the road of life and once it's done, you're done. You are back into infinite love.
Ego death requires it.

That's complicated. I don't know exactly.

Maybe you are right and you know better than the leading experts and healers out there, afterall you are Leo "God Almighty" Guru.
Bingo.
Leading experts my ass. It's group-think and shit "science".

13 minutes ago, Ramasta9 said:fundamentally, biologically, anatomically we are all the same.
This is false.
You are not appreciating how genetically different humans are and how much this matters in life. Life is totally different for people just based on a few different genes.
The great liberal delusion is that humans are all equal.

I have never seen yellow 5-MeO.
Yellow is DMT.

That is harder. I could do it but then life is a slog. I do try to make my life enjoyable, not a constant grind or deprivation.
16 hours ago, bazera said:With Awakening here, do you mean some crazy levels of consciousness you tend to talk about lately?
Or some enlightenment experiences (ones you had years ago) would do?
You talk about the spectrum of Awakening and degrees of it, so can boredom be dealt with if one has milder version of Awakening?
Mild is acceptable here because really all you need is many hours sitting in boredom.
The crazy high Awakenings are ironically too exciting to face bordem with them.
8 hours ago, freddyteisen said:@Leo Gura do you no longer get bored?
I easily get bored because my mind is very creative.

Well, that's the rub. It's hard to do.
Financial independence is an awesome goal and achievement but few will do what it takes to acheive it.
If you really value it you can create it. But most don't really value it.

Glad someone gets it.

This is not true for everyone.
People have different genetics and different needs. Not everything revolves around your needs.
Sick people have different needs than healthy people.

How do you choose to believe in UFO or anyother thing if you never directly experienced and you can respond to that question thoutgh self inquiry ?
The same way you choose to believe things you have no direct experience of.
Don't act like you and I are different.

The more you deny it the more you demonstrate how deep the self-absorbtion goes.

Pure BS.
Daddy Ralston will not save you from self-deception.
Think for yourself. Think seriously.

The high quality of Ralston's work is precisely what makes it so deceptive. You will be so seduced by the quality that you will completely overlook the falsehoods in it.
I don't expect any of Ralston's students to be intelligent enough to spot the falsehoods. It's extremely tricky. It took me years to understand where he is wrong and I was only able to do it because I took enough psychedelics to kill an elephant.
