Brazil and Brazilians are some of my favorite people on earth. So warm and cool. The women are just gorgeous as well. I’m going back soon, time to gtfo US. Brazil showing serious integrity and accountability for this

I had this exact thought last night. Or it could even be an outside nation trying to cause further divide and chaos within the US

America needs to follow Brazils lead and arrest Trump

🔥🔥🔥

Owen a fucking nutcase. I saw a podcast where he ranted about Ayahuasca demons and spirits. Pick up rarely ends well. His Apprentice Julien is a complete psycho with a messiah complex, they pair are slimy af

I’m upset that someone got killed over using their right to free speech. But also, their free speech brainwashed people into thinking a genocide was justified

Edit

The 90s seemed awesome. Life pre 9/11 seemed like a different universe, way more innocent

As much as I disagree with him, no one should be attacked for their viewpoints and opinions. That goes against the fundamental right of freedom of speech.

I’ve seen and talked to multiple men who had divorces, ruined their lives etc bc of porn. It’s a serious issue

Is it serving truth to shoot someone who spreads racism, delusion and falsehood? I don’t think so, because everyone should have freedom of speech and not fear for their life

I don’t think people are evil, they are an expression of God, they are God, but they have very strange survival mechanisms that do require deception, selfishness and bias very deeply. So yeah people are inherently kinda full of shit and anti truth but that’s just because our survival hinges on it.

Greta video so far. Only an hour in but I’m really enjoying it. Love all the examples. I also know far too many people who treat feelings as God itself. They almost worship their intuition and feelings, it can be a trap in itself. Makes people uncommitted and unreliable.

The dip shit republicans are going to literally deny this evidence. Unfortunately it will likely just flare out but my God it would be so delicious to see this blow up and there be actual ramifications.

Ralston is your best bet if you want more real world mastery, he makes you extremely powerful and effective, so wield that with responsibility. I have used Ralstons methods to get laid and stopped when i realized i was using consciousness in a devilish way

Absolutely! I’ve never really had or understood this feeling of “it’s all a dream so who cares it’s meaningless” to me that’s so meaningful and beautiful. Actually more reason to live well than just being a meat suit in material reality. Love your perspective on it all!

Pursuing spirituality if done properly will make you stop caring about material pursuits, that's the crux of it, it's like the tech ceo who starts meditating to get a competetive edge (creativity, focus, productivity) then the meditation wakes him up to the realization that what he is doing with his life is purposeless and will not bring him happiness, because the happiness exists within. If you do spiriutality for material gain, you can almost guarantee it will blow up in your face, this is serious shit and if you aren't serious about it you won't get anywhere. True spirituality is ripping away all your attachments and ideas of reality it requires serious discipline, but the fruits of it are unexplainable, life is 1000X better than what you can get from chasing material pursuits. You literally awaken to yourself as Love, Freedom and God.

That sounds fun as fuck, way to go

Yeah man, this is the classic man's dilemna- money, women, work, purpose. I think Davino had a good point, if you want a family and know that, don't try to be rich before doing that. If you have steady income then you can add dating to that. You're only 29 so most women aren't expecting you to be rich and fully capable of taking care of her right now. One of the benefits of the feminist movement is that most women are quite independent and self-sustainable, you don't really need to play that provider role. I agree though, i'm only recently seeing how much of an energy demand dating, women, and even socializing in general is. I feel that maybe this doesn't suit my personality, I'm not in an incel way, i've slept with 100+ women in my life, some models, but now i see that energy demand, ego games, expectations, money drain, and freedom sacrifice as simply not worth it. In a way you have to give up your autonomy, independence and freedom to date. I also don't think having kids is for everyone, you have to really want that. People act like your wife and kids are the pinnacle of life, the most important thing you can achieve, but they simply don't know satisfactions beyond that, how much deeper you can go into your own being and self understanding and how much satisfaction and wholeness that brings. i sometimes chuckle when i realize (some of) the wisest men i know (Ralston, Wilber, Sahaja, Claud, Leo, and many dead philosphers and mystics) are/were single or single and childless i think that says something. Also, people are undependable and unpredicatable, the less you have in your life, the more stable and strong you can build yourself. I'm a fan of having a select few around that you really trust. Anyway, that was a bit of a rant, just my take.

For sure. It’s quite disgusting how greedy people can get, the amount of lives they will ruin for their own gain or just a bigger yacht.

Super interesting. Thanks for sharing !

I’m curious to your thoughts on using psychedelics in the path. To some it seems like catalyst, to others a huge delusion and distraction/addiction (Aubrey Marcus comes to mind) What hangs me up is that they can never permanently change your state or keep you awakened. They also seem aggressive on your nervous system. And come with high risk. Many great teachers - Ramana , Wilber, Yogananda, Sahajananda, Ralston, Igor, Rupert, Adyashanti who live in awakened states of consciousness never recommend psychedelics. My take is that they are helpful to open the mind and show what’s possible, but like Alan Watts says hang up the phone once you got it

No sweat brother, I appreciate you saying that though! I tripped on Peyote about 2 years ago and had a really bad time. I tried shrooms and mdma after that and both times I just got the message “yeah this is done”. Recently I’ve found more stability in Witness Consciousness just through meditation and long walks so I’m pretty content with it. Nothing against psychedelics though and you made some very valid point for a psychedelic path balanced with practice and integration

The photos have a strange beauty to them, showing the power of standing for something and also the depth of consciousness in that monk. @Emotionalmosquito I def agree most awakened people would suffer less but still even the most awakened would have a serious disdain toward being tortured and not just be blissed out. At best they’d go into Witness Consciousness to get through it

If you look at the past of most human history we are living in total luxury. Even having a roof over your head, AC, hot showers, a cushy job- it’s unbelievable to the shit our ancestors had to put up with. Is it unfair? Yeah, but at least you aren’t some slave with no rights living under some dictator psycho or king. There’s always room for improvement but we’ve also got it pretty good in terms of human history
