Sempiternity

I would be open to buying land elsewhere. I'm just thinking Washington, since I like it here, the people are pretty high conscious, and this is where my family lives. I could also look at some Midwest states like Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming, where I could get much more acreage for my buck, but this would be even more secluded, and potentially surrounded by stage Red/Blue people, which wouldn't really jive with what I want to do. I'd also be interested in maybe moving out of country, like doing this in Costa Rica.

Watch this video. Short answer: No you do not have free will, as you are a dream character and are imaginary. You as God is dreaming all of reality. God has infinite Will.

A man confident in himself has nothing to worry about.

I dated a knockout girl for 5 years that was 6'2" and liked to wear 8" heels, so she was usually 7'. It was awesome! She got lots of attention, which means I got lots of attention.

My life purpose

Fascinating. Cool to imagine a future where humans treat exploring these different states of consciousness like we treat exploring space. Where humans have an ongoing map of different stages of consciousness, and others can then willingly explore them if they choose.

What he said ?

@Leo Gura Wouldn't there be infinite states and stages and dimensions?

Because he can do much more damage being on the opposing side, messing up their majority vote.

Maybe try van living? It's not always easy, but it is free living.

He owns some hotels and other businesses, so he has personal interest in not paying his employees more money. Pure selfish trash.

He's a Republican pretending to be a Democrat.

Oh yes, second this. The Solandarian Game is amazing!

Good question. Burning Man has a unique culture with rules by which the community lives by. This assures everyone is on the same page. This culture pushes everyone towards selflessness, and away from selfishness. This works very well for the temporary city, but for a permanent city situation, I'm sure they would have to have some vetting system and actions to take if someone is a negative presence. The community’s ethos and culture: Radical Inclusion Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community. Decommodification In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience. Radical Self-reliance Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on their inner resources. Radical Self-expression Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient. Communal Effort Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction. Civic Responsibility We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws. Leaving No Trace Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. Participation Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart. Immediacy Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience. Gifting Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

The Burning Man organization is actively planning an off-grid 3,800-acre city with net-zero sustainable infrastructure in Nevada. This would be an ambitious Stage Green/Yellow community living project. Includes; human habitation spaces, venues for learning and discovery, permaculture systems for food infrastructure for water harvesting and blackwater recycling, zero-emissions construction, and energy infrastructure to generate power from solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass. Sustainable alternative to concrete that absorbs CO2 through the curing process of building components. Solar chimney, solar PV, geothermal, passive cooling, composting, greenhouses, aquaponics, biodigesters, and greywater recycling. Solar photovoltaic and recycled materials to contribute 300 MWh of electricity per year. Electrochromic glass, a bioceramic dome, seed banks, solar photovoltaic, cisterns, drip irrigation, composting toilets, and native restoration plants to provide shelter, food, medicinal herbs and teas, habitat enhancement, water harvesting, 36 MWh/year of electricity, and 40,000 liters/year of harvested water. This could be one of the most forward thinking cities in the world, once completed. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimdobson/2021/03/03/the-future-of-burning-man-emerges-at-fly-ranch-an-outrageous-new-world-in-the-black-rock-desert/?sh=59acbb041e45&fbclid=IwAR2b4EBg-v82lKzjnac4IkeLZFzY317krhAoVQVdox9-HN3mx07sQ_t7MP0

How many people this could house, I don't know. But the temporary Burning Man city that gets built in August every year, for the past 35 years, which includes an airport, hospitals, fire departments, and community hubs, houses 100,000 people. So that might give some indication of the population possibilities.

I am starting a career as a novelist exclusively in Nonduality Fiction. Stories with themes in Spiral Dynamics, God, Infinity, Solipsism, etc. Got about 40 great stories I'm working on. Some are full length novel, the rest will be collections of short stories. Though it might be a couple years till I finish them all and have them published. It's one of my main life purpose.

God, that would be so great. He'd royally screw over the Republicans, which they'd deserve for backing him. And it would ensure the Democrats would win with no opposition, ensuring lots of progressive policies getting passed unhampered. Seems like no matter how this all goes, it's the death nail to the GOP, and it will be all thanks to Trump.

I'm wondering what would happen if Trump is the Republican candidate for the presidential election, but is being charged with criminal charges or is in the middle if criminal trails or has even been convicted but not sentenced? The Republicans could spin that as the Democrats and the DOJ using that as an excuse to prevent Trump from running. Would that cause a constitutional crisis in removing a presidential candidate's main opponent? Has this ever happened before?

Working for any corporation is a trap that will waste your life and suck your soul. Either find a small company of likeminded people with a shared vision and family supportive work environment, where you can grow. Or start your own business. It will take you many years to get to a point where you'd make any money at all with your own business, but you will be much better off in the long run, as you can be proud of what you are doing with your life, not just being a slave to someone else. As for what to do for your own business? Doesn't much matter. Anyone can make anything successful if they are fully dedicated to making it work. Do what you are passionate about. If you're passionate about something, other people that are passionate about that same thing will find you and want to support what you're doing.

Once one becomes 100% Godhead, after say taking a high dose of a psychedelic, the dream/illusion is gone, your life if gone, the universe converges into a pure abstract singularity of consciousness, formless infinite singularity, there is no more life, no more death, no more world, no more people or other beings, you are absolute oneness and love forever for eternity. In this state, how would you know to come back to your life? That life is completely gone. Once in absolute oneness for eternity, wouldn't that be it, absolute oneness and love for eternity? So how do you come back?

@Forestluv Thanks, good explanation. When you say "The return just happens." that's the part I'm confused about. And thanks everyone for your input.
