But you are judging yourself for judging others. Don't judge yourself.

An interesting interview with a professor and psychedelics researcher at Johns Hopkins, Matthew Johnson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICj8p5jPd3Y Enjoy!

I thought some of you might enjoy this...

To understand is to misunderstand. Don't try to understand. To wish to realize something is to deny what is real. Don't wish for anything and reality appears. All ideas of the Tao(God) are false ideas. You are That in which all ideas dissolve. Let go of all ideas.

Because people resist change. They would rather have predictable hell, than unpredictable heaven.

He earns even more if you buy all the products from the ad.

The ego is the gift that you gave to yourself. But you are greater than your gift. You are the giver. There will be a day when you can look from 'above' the ego, and see for what it truly is. When you see your gift, your ego, you will love it. That will be your gift. It will be the gift that will point you to the giver.

I had an awakening once after writing this during contemplation.

Depends on your definition of You. But no, somebody else made it.

You are.

Beautiful.

That's my gem. @andyjohnsonman Thanks for sharing.

To get the last 7%, you must forget the 93%.

You seem to know what enlightenment is... but have you allowed yourself to not know?

There is no History. There is only His Story.

How can the mountain climber who has climbed Mount Everest find joy in climbing the local hill?

Sounds like the moment becomes the goal.

What is your assumption about his presuppositions? If his motivation was derived from climbing the highest mountain, how can he change his motivation? Does he have to deny the height, beauty, and perfection of Mount Everest so that he can see the same on the local hill?

I tried a meditation session with techno music for 1 hr yesterday. My body became numb, and I was able to put all my focus on the music. I felt the music vibrations with my whole being. Experimentation is sometimes useful.

Read 400+. Wrote 3.

Sounds like a strange loop.

Do you have close female friends? Ask them for honest feedback on your personality, looks, etc.

You can predict the future to the extent that you understand the past that led to your present. Dreams do contain visions of the future. I know several people that have predicted 1 in a billion chance events based on their dreams.

Hi all, I want to give away 7 paperback copies of a book I wrote this year to 7 members of this forum. If you like to receive a free copy, please send me a direct message with your PO address. The aim of this book is to bring the reader to turquoise (spiral dynamics) so it is mainly intended for green/yellow readers who enjoy philosophy/metaphysics. If that is you, don't hesitate to reach out and ask for your free copy. I hope to give away all 7 copies before Christmas. If you want more details about the book, you can find them at the following link. I hope that my book will transform you.

It is already happening. I don't see it as a negative, since the institution of marriage is no longer sacred so it is destined to evolve. No, you are not. You are coming from a scarcity mindset. Become a value provider to women and you can have more women than you can deal with. If everyone becomes their best version of themselves, equilibrium will be established again. If only a few high-value men provide value to women, then we have a problem. If everyone is high-value, we have no problem.
