Literally the American and Israeli way.
You can have a huge paradigm shift when you realize, "Wait a minute, what if America and Israel are the evil ones?"
Until you start to think like that you aren't doing serious politics, you're just jerking off to your own reflection in the mirror.

@PenguinPablo It's best not to think of racism as racism but human nature.

Not necessarily. It can occur within your 5 senses.
Consciousness and mind can get massively enhanced without going beyond your 5 senses.
For example, you can imagine that a rat mind has the same basic 5 senses as humans, but notice how much more depth a human mind has: what a human mind can understand about the universe vs a rat mind. The human mind has totally new alien capacities relative to the rat mind, and yet, the human still experiences the same 5 basic senses as a rat would.
Most of the heavy lifting of consciousness isn't done at the level of adding new senses, but higher orders of abstraction.

New Age spiritual drivel.
These people are spiritual larpers.

Of course.
Most people in the world are racist.
Conservatives understand this and liberals do not. That's what makes liberals stupid.

I know there is the famous 10 ox picture journey. But this can be further developed/improved with today's modern tools. 
I ask me if there is already a map of the psychedelic path out there or if we can create one here. Like reaching milestones. I make a first start (I know it can get better)
 first psychedelic handshake doses. Discover alternatives states of consciousness  first spiritual insights  Shadow work/purification  First ego death/transformations First Breakthrough on 5 Meo (Optional: Kundalini awakening ) Discover infinity  Discover immortality  Discover god Discover Madness God realization Infinite love awakening  Integration into sober life( seeing beauty, love , unity) Deep understanding how universe works on metaphysical level  Alien mind? ...
 
 

Brother, that's how society has always been for 10,000 years. People in power get to make those calls. And they can lose their jobs and lives for it. That's the tacit bargain.
There cannot be some magic perfect system. And corruption, error, and bias will always be at play.
That's why we have elections.

You can introspect and just notice in yourself when you are trying to get handsy with her just because you are desperate to feel her body. When you notice that neediness, make the counter-intuitive move to not act it out.
There is a difference between esclating because you feel it's proper vs desperately grasping as much as you can as soon as you can. The latter comes from neediness.
Make her crave your touch by strategically withholding it.
One of my pickup buddies put it this way:
"My touch is gold. She has to earn it."
If you adopt his attitude, you will not over escalate.

If you're gonna do that you gotta pull that same night, otherwise she will feel too slutty to go on a date with you later.
It's important to note that girls operate in two modes: 1) fun party horny mode, and 2) dating boyfriend mode.
If you're at a nightclub getting frisky, that's mode #1 and you gotta close fast because if she sleeps it off she will be out of that mode and never call you again. And if you're doing mode #2 then don't get too sexual too fast, take her on a date first.

If you were tortured, eventually your ego would collapse and you would accept it.
What do you think the crucifixion means?
Christians literally worship surrender to torture.
Christians don't even understand what they worship.
The entire point of Jesus is that he accepted his torture as Love! That's what makes Jesus God and everyone who worships him a rat.

Most people don't think at all, they react emotionally and rationalize their biases.
Most people have zero intellectual foundation, they are just surviving by whatever ways are most convenient.
People do not understand nor appreciate how government actually works, they are instead reacting emotionally to culture war issues.
That's what happens when the populace is poorly educated and lacks wisdom.

I think one of the most profound discoveries of my life is that human interaction does not really produce happiness. It can be a nice experience, but it’s ultimately an impermanent fleeting experience, and it doesn’t really fundamentally make me feel any better than if I didn’t have it. In fact, just being alone in my own awareness is far more satisfying than having to play human. All human conversation is also usually about past, future, problems, and pop culture, it really drags me into concepts, thinking, meaning making, and judgment, which all really produces quite a bit of unhappiness and obscure being. Playing human just ultimately feels like a chore, I was just wondering if anyone else could relate?

Real estate has skyrocketed in the US as well, but it's not because illegals are buying up all the houses, it's due to covid inflation, printing money, and excessive capitalism.
You have to be very careful about jumping to conclusions and attributing self-biased causes to such issues.
Causation in an economy is a very complex thing. It's never as simple as: more immigrants = higher prices.
Don't forget that immigrants contribute to your economy. If anything Canada's population is too low and ya'll aren't fucking enough.

Hey friends, thought I would share a little bit of the glossary I started working on. I was feeling incredibly creative and had a vision for a comprehensive and concise list of every possible aspect and facet of consciousness work. My plan is to describe each facet in the most honest and clear way I can, based on my current understanding. Here are a few to start:

Consciousness: the Infinite Reality of Being
Death: the dissolution of a form
Enlightenment: when Consciousness is presently aware of its True Nature; a direct recognition of the Absolute Reality
Insight: when Consciousness becomes directly aware of some novel relative truth
Matter: the physical manifestation of Infinite Consciousness; a condensation of Infinite Mind
Mystical Experience: an unexpected and ineffable shift in Consciousness

Memory is not the same as what is usually meant by "direct experience".
But memory is far superior to belief, theory, or fantasy -- which is what most people are operating on.
Since reality is nothing but experience, without sufficient experience you are simply lost in fantasy.
Experience does not guarantee truth, but it's a lot better than not having experience.

@Bandman I'm sorry you're facing such health problems and dispair. I understand suffering from health problems.
The point of my statement above was merely to point out the truth of not-knowning. It's important in this work not to fool ourselves with beliefs and fantasies about things we lack experience with.
In this case all you have to do is to be honest with yourself: do you actually know what death is? The answer is probably no. So then the best attitude is one of not-knowing and openness.
But there is still the possibility for Awakening and higher consciousness where you might come to a direct insight into the nature of death.
So my advice would be that if you want a better understanding of death, pursue Awakening. And if you are suicidal, seek out help and support from others.
Don't leave the forum. Isolating yourself is not good for your condition.

Exactly!
All the errors of the left come from this one innocent-seeming bias.
When you place anything above truth -- including social justice -- what you will end up with is falsehood. When are you learn that lesson?
Social justice is not truth.

Actual infinity. It's just insane.
 
It's actually insane. It's unfathomable, it is eternal, it is everything.
 
Like, think about what that means, it is actually infinite, and it has been infinite for all of eternity. Everything you have so far experienced, as you can remember it, is an infinitesimal small part of what you have experienced and what you will experience. There is no end to it. You could live every single life of every single being that has ever existed on earth and it would be nothing.
 
Just think about how far you have come, and you have no fucking clue. You have no clue where you are going, where you have been. There is no end to exploring yourself, coming to know yourself in the most intimate way possible, through pure being.
 
Existing is basically having sex with yourself, it is the most intimate act possible. And think of where you are right now, how precious this moment is, how utterly mindblowing. Forget about all the human bullshit for a second, just look where the fuck you are right now. You have probably been interdimensional fruitflies or some such for your past billion lives, and now you here. 
 
Catch your breath, look at what you are. This is a rare moment of self-reflection on your infinte journey through your own self. You can connect right now to those moments of clarity, of which you already had an uncountable amount of.

As I said, it is good for learning formal rigorous thinking/rationality.
Learning rationality is useful. Learning rigor is useful for STEM type fields.

The solution to this issue is easy:
It is to realize that the ontological nature of reality is that it is consciousness, which is fluid and relative, not a collection of static material objects.
The key mistake of rationalism is assuming that reality is made up out of crisp discreet parts and objects. It is not.
There really is no such thing as a "child" or an "adult". These are convenient fictions that humans invented to help themselves navigate and survive. These things have no objective ontology at bottom.

There is actually scientific research that shows that tall good-looking men are statistically over-represented in leadership roles, like CEOs. That's because it is easier for them to land those roles because people give them the benefit of the doubt that they will be good leaders.
Good looks IS an important factor. Good looks also signify strength and physical health, which leaders require. You can't be an effective sick feeble leader.
When you compare Joe Biden to Gavin Newsom you can see how much looks matters. Biden's lack of health cost him the president.
And women very much must care about leadership because without it they are raped, killed, or enslaved. So all things being equal a woman would be suicidal to sleep with a guy who doesn't look like a leader. A woman's entire nervous system is wired to sniff out such men like a pig sniffs out truffles.
Of course women are sniffing for much more than any 1 factor. They sniff for a subtle constellation of factors.
As a guy, if you keep failing their sniff test you get hurt, bitter, resentful, hateful, and finally violent.

1) Not as a stable permanent state.
2) It's not about brain at that point, it's about consciousness and jailbreaking the human mind. The human mind is a very narrow thing, even after enlightenment. It is still locked into a human mode of operation.
3) Don't forget, you're not actually human. You are Consciousness cosplaying as human. So you can in fact transcend all human limits, at least for a while. Discovering Alien Consciousness is about unlocking the human mind so deeply that you transcend being human.
4) Consciousness does not have a human brain. It is imagining a human brain.
