    But what about contemplation and curiosity?

    That's not enough. You need a shift in your state of consciousness.

    Awakening is much more than an insight, it's a state change.

    Of course curiosity is good and important. Although it can actually get in the way of stilling your overactive mind.

    What you have to understand is that the far-right mind is full of shit. It talks out of both sides of its mouth. It's not an internally coherent intellectual system. It's a loose network of fears, hatreds, disgust, dogma, myths, and rationalizations.

    As I said, if you go far-right far enough you overturn your own traditions. This is not a mistake in my analysis. A far-right Islamic fundamentalist does not truly observe the tradition of Islam.

    Hitler was above all an ego-maniac like Trump. So of course he wanted to put his own stamp on things. It takes humility to blindly follow tradition as Mike Pence does.

    All you have to do to see that Nazism is conservative is to look at the kind of people who find it appealing, and the type of people Nazis consider their enemies.

    Who finds it appealing?

    Conservatives!

    Who are it enemies? Who did Hitler kill?

    Liberals!

    Ask yourself why you almost always feel the need to respond whenever I post something.

    My repsonses in these Israeli threads are quite sparse.

    It could be a temporary stepping stone to something higher.

    The real problem here would be if there was something more meaningful that you could do with your life, and you gave it up in pursuit of something easy and profitable.

    But again, it is a valid strategy to earn some money to fund yourself towards something higher.

    Realistically you will get sick of streaming after 5-10 years and desire something more meaningful. But those first 5 years could be good and leave you in a nice financial spot. The trap would be to get stuck in streaming forever.

    Zionism and the absolute human virtue and straight-out miracle it represents.

    Lol

    Zionism is cartoonishly biased.

    Your meme would be correct if the ones you were holocausting were not the grey peeps but some random squirrels on whose land you built your own place.

    "The attitude we adopt toward the Arab minority will provide the real test of our moral standards as a people. Should we be unable to find a way to honest cooperation and honest pacts with the Arabs, then we have learned absolutely nothing from our 2,000 years of suffering and will deserve our fate." -- Albert Einstein

    And there's no way to put the Kundalini back to sleep, at least out of our control.

    If this is true, there's little a guru can do to help you other than pointing out the traps. Which could be written down in a book. And said book exists in my book list.

    In the old days you would live with your guru 24/7 and get constant one-on-one guidance. That is nearly impossible to find these days and not accessible to householders. In the end, yoga is designed to activate kundalini, which comes with risks. From what I understand the best way to minimize those risks is to not do too much yoga too quickly.

    guru can help you manage all this.

    Let's get real. What is Sadhguru gonna do for you if you accidentally activate kundalini in the wrong way?

    You're never even gonna get access to him over email. So I just can't take this stuff seriously.

    Once you activate your kundalini, you're stuck with it. No one is gonna save you.

    Isn't God more than just the fabric of reality though? It sounds like you're giving more of a Buddhist view here of God just being the ground of reality.

    Not just the ground of reality, but all of reality.

    Is it even possible to gain understanding and answers to all questions?

    Not all questions. But many.

    Many questions are poorly formed or simply irrelevant.

    I want to find out whether this is even possible for consciousness, to be in a certain state forever. Again, I don't even believe it can, since every state and object of consciousness is impermanent, except consciousness itself. So heaven and hell can't be permanent. 

    Well, that's something you could inquire into. Whether you will ever get an answer is unclear.

    Is there any psychedelic you might recommend for this? Shrooms was way too loopy and increased mental imagination instead of decreasing it. Do you recommend 5-MEO-DMT or 5-MEO-MALT for this? I'm a bit afraid of LSD since many people report bad trips on it and it lasts so long. NN-DMT i'm also not sure about, I've heard about people gaining knowledge from DMT entities but that would still imply a duality. I have to verify it myself by being the Monad. Although I'm afraid of such a God-Realization and the collapse of duality and I do realize that a true God-Realization will be extremely shocking(how else could it be) but I still want to face it.

    Any psychedelics could potentially do it. 5-MeO and DMT are of course two of the most powerful ones and have a good chance to give you more insight into the ultimate nature of reality.

    You've said that truth doesn't serve you. How can it not though? I realize truth won't grow your dick or shit like that. But knowing the truth is liberation by itself right? liberation from insecurity? at least in the grand scheme.

    By the time you reach the necessary level of liberation you will no longer exist as a human self.

    So it's a bit like curing cancer by shooting yourself in the head.

    Text game doesn't really work.

    If a girl is not attracted to you, nothing you text her will change her mind.

    All you can basically do with text is to find out if she's responsive to you, and ask her for a meet.

    You can't use text to manipulate her into sleeping with you. Once you grok this, texting becomes quite simple.

    Be ware of PUAs and coaches who try to sell you on the idea that elaborate texting techniques with get you laid.

    The best form of text game would be if you had a real social life and you used text to invite girls to real social events, like parties and dinners.

    Or... dick pics.
