I reject the idea that a loving God would condone or enable child rape. This belief is deeply disturbing and incompatible with my values and personal beliefs. I recognize that I may have previously held notions of God that were not fully understood or verified by me. I take responsibility for not guarding my mental faculties properly and not fully examining my beliefs. I now choose to embrace skepticism and rational empiricism, and return to atheism as my default position - but in a non-dogmatic manner. As an atheist, I can subjectively choose to call child rape as evil, based on my own logical definition and values. This allows me to ascribe meaning to my reality as a humanist without resorting to twisted and illogical notions of love. I recognize that love is a human virtue, and I strive to embody it through expansive, loving and kind thoughts and actions that benefit other humans and animals. Atheism also gives me the freedom to be myself, own my needs and goals, and choose to do good spontaneously. I understand that life is best played in a collaborative, non-zero-sum manner, and I will strive to enrich and empower others through careful logical considerations and my own authentic heartfelt moral compass. Furthermore, I am open to exploring and understanding consciousness through meditation, kriya yoga, and psychedelics, as I believe this will help me to become a more compassionate and empathetic person.

@axiom Thank you for sharing your perspective. However, I am curious about how you came to this conclusion. How have you validated this for yourself? From my perspective, I believe that love is a human emotion and that reality simply exists without any inherent value or purpose. I would be interested in hearing more about your reasoning and any evidence you have for this belief.

@Leo Gura Ethics and good politics is bad for business. It's as simple as that. You get ahead by being a narcissitic ruthless asshole. Which is why women are attracted to it. This statement is not only unethical, but it is also incorrect. Business success can be achieved through ethical and responsible practices, and strong leadership can be demonstrated through integrity and empathy rather than narcissism and ruthlessness. Additionally, it is not accurate to make sweeping generalizations about women and their attraction to certain types of behavior. It is important to evaluate and make decisions based on facts and evidence, rather than stereotypes and biases.

@Phil777

Open up your heart

@bloomer very nuanced analysis. Thanks for your input.

Did you guys know that they struck down three wind power plants to get to the coal reserves under Lützerath?

@onacloudynight So you are homeless and jobless and go out to pick up women? Do you see anything wrong with that? What do you expect? In case it doesn't hit you like a freight train: Fix your sh*t first. Facing yourself and suffering through all this will be worth it. Don't give into destructive malevolence. It will rob you of your soul and that inkling that is left and still holds on to a vision of something better. It clearly exists because you are posting here for help. And we are here to deliver, you are not alone. Use your anger to fuel positive change. Like a warrior of light you will conquer your fears, you will conquer your inadequacies and you will conquer your illusions and inner demons. In fact, once you are free, you will have a plethora of inner bodhisattvas. You can do this. This is a fact. Do your part and the universe will deliver the rest. There are so many success stories of people that started in exactly your situation. At some point, you have to let go of the dogma of ancestral trauma and the inheritance of parental characteristics. Fuck this. You are your own man. You decide who controls you (no one). Some practical advice: In the mornings do 3 rounds of the Wim Hof method (30x3) Afterwards, you do 10 minutes of meditation and the 5 Tibetans (a set of Yoga exercises, each Asana 3 times) All in all, this should take 30 minutes to complete. This routine will give you a baseline of awareness, balance and energetic flow. Aim to do 21 days consistently before increasing your workload. In a previous post, you stated that you are skinny. If you feel your destructive anger, go and workout. Like a wild beast you will push your anger into the floor with push ups. This will disperse the bulk of the energy and bring it to good use. Good luck.

I see. Not to dismiss your experience, you do you, but I honestly think this is just a waste of time and can actually be damaging (for the pursuit of truth and genuine development) If you wanna nerd out about stuff, do it. For me this would be sharing and talking about music. While I nerd out like that (seldom), I am completely aware that we are all just sharing our relative experiences and preferences for fun on a subjective or constructed topic (e.g. video games) Spiral dynamic on the other hand, if looked at through this playful perspective, is just a nice little ego enhancing circle jerk. Why speculate about the nature of reality like that? What's the point? Beware, because when you are trying to frame actual reality like that, this can have pretty clear consequences. It's not all fun and games because as soon as you do that you are creating filters of reality that limit the depth and breadth of your understanding. And a lot of that happens unconsciously and automatically if you are not careful. And the result is someone like OP who is clearly lost in his delusions of being tier 2. In the end, either the model is actually useful and brings us closer to the truth or not. Most people just speculate and guess within the confines of a model that is in itself build on a lot of speculation and assertions. And posts like OPs confirm the fact that this is actually potentially harmful for the pursuit of truth and excellence. SD should just be put into a shelf alongside all the other thousands of psychological models. (I am not saying they are all equally useful or truthful). But SD should not be put on a pedestal. We need to apply a lot more scrutiny to it. Even SD itself teaches it. If you become construct aware at yellow, you need to downgrade this model in your mind. Now you are no longer the hero ascending the stages but you have become aware that you are playing a game of illusory and relative stages. Paradoxically if you want to ascend into the tier 2 stages of SD you have to drop the importance of this model alongside it. You outgrow the model as you grow within the frameworks layed out by it. Juicy paradox.

@Leo Gura Master Gura, I have an inquiry for your excellence. I'll soon be embarking on my second 5meo trip. My first trip was around 5mg. That was honestly already quite amazing. Nothing visually changed, it just all became a lot more vivid, awareness increased and my body became extremely floaty. I was moving around and it felt effortless. I am really curious what happens when I dose higher. What is your recommendation for the next trip? I want to understand reality, what it is, what I am. Any suggestion for my next dosage? Lastly, I am curious what your highest dose has been and which dosage you prefer for understanding reality these days. Any answer is appreciated.

@Leo Gura I have to agree with this but I see that as his shadow side. I don't think that's his core. I predict he will leave most dissenting political opinions online as long as they don't directly attack his fragile little ego. The benefit will be more leeway when it comes to less mainstream and fringe perspectives that are often prematurely suppressed. Refer to the post above for an example of what I mean. I think we need to be able to openly talk about the risks of conspiracies, real conspiracies and major corruption deep within the heart of western civilisation. And him ngaf about the status quo of political correctness will enable these facts to come into the light (I hope naively lmao). Also Leo, I know you are very critical of conspiracy theories, so let me ask you this: what the fuck happened with Operation Northwoods? Google it, it's public knowledge due to the freedom of information act. I am not endorsing any particular conspiracy or non-mainstream narrative. I am just curious what makes conspiracies so obviously false from your perspective. You seem to always be ready to silence them with a ban hammer before any serious exploration or discussion took place. Some are luny and probably deserve it but some are more nuanced. Many think the idea that 9/11 was potentially an inside job is complete bonkers... Again look up Operation Northwoods. We need more free speech, even if it costs us a bit of societal stability. Our systems are doomed to fail if they run like they do right now and either we have a soft revolution that's still uncomfortable or we will run into a collapse. That's my honest prediction. Just my opinion, lay away the ban hammer, not needed my guy, just. my. opinion lmao. The collective unconscious keeps us connected anyways. No amount of banning is gonna make the filth, distortion and corruption of humanity go away. It will fester and come back more grotesque. We need open dialogue.

@mr_engineer I just read through your three initial posts and I have to say: bravo! beautifully layed out. I agree with nearly everything you said. Although I disapprove of Musk having too much power, I strongly approve of a more free speech environment especially when it comes to more controversial topics and "conspiracy theories" - such a convenient thought terminating little phrase that is. In Germany we have the "öffentlich rechtliche Medien" which is essentially tax funded media. And due to fairly wide freedom of press and high quality journalism in these outlets, I have seen mainstream documentaries showing the dangers of the jab. One girl went completely retarded to a serious degree where she now spasm all day and is wheelchair bound after the jab. She got ostracised by her peers and most doctors just brushed it off as an impossibility - cause of the narrative that is artificially pushed through moderation based on dogma and social cohesion efforts. Only because the mother kept on pressing did they find out that it was indeed because of the jab. In progressive news circles in the US this would be considered a public health threat and would probably be removed from social media platforms. Yes, things are gonna get a lot more wild from here on out but my hope is that stories like these will be a lot more widespread. They should leave the context function to controversial posts though. I think that is genius as it allows for a more multiperspectival understanding leading to less radical fear mongering perspectives while still allowing for the kernel of truth to cut through that would have been lost in a simple ban or cancellation.

You mean strong German teams hahahaha idgaf about soccer but that was glorious.

I know, I know. Polarising title. But after some reflection I strongly feel that this is true. Dear Leo, To preface: I agree with a couple points: how we shouldn't demonize racists but give them leeway for change. That's it. In 3h that's his only really solid point. Maybe the trans sports issue but that's such a no brainer. The rest... Gosh. Leo, what's up with my man? Seriously... Damn. Holy smokes. 300 year time frame for some basic healthcare? For some basic equality of opportunity like we have here in Germany and other european states? Dude, I pay 600 bucks a year for university. Germany still prospers, Europe is way ahead of you in most issues. All you got is the innovation coming out of silicon valley and military supremacy. But that's not mutually exclusive with treating your people with some decency. Furthermore, I get that people don't vote primarily on policy but on "vibe". Yes. But vibe is something that can change, it's so ethereal and it costs nothing. So to portray this misunderstanding as this unsolvable problem is not justified. Also your Susan cook whatever model and spiral dynamics are simply models. You constantly confuse the map for the territory. As if this little framework encaptures the reality of all of human development, psychology, politics and society. If you think this is true, you are basically believing in something without evidence or direct experience. Your objection "how do you know that?" Is only used when someone presents an argument that contradicts your viewpoints. You always revert back to solipsism when it fits your narrative. But when it comes to ridiculous statements like 90 percent of people are dumb, lazy and selfish and cannot amount to nothing so better bow down to the rapist slave master for some crumbles, you think this is true. Simply true, you never say things like "in my opinion" , "from my point of view", "I think this or that". It's always in these absolutes sprinkled with a good piece of arrogance and a slice of superiority complex. The number one thing that makes me shake my head is: "this is coming from tier 2". Come on. Come on man. Are you really so full of yourself? You are definitely not fully tier 2, not even predominantly. You haven't even integrated most lessons from green yet. And again, this is JUST A MODEL. A stupid set of ideas and frameworks that don't even capture 0,01 percent of the complexity of life. Your use of principles like not-knowing, relativism and non duality is completely arbitrary, hypocritical and laced with double standards. Finally your analysis of vegans is simply laughable. You have no idea what you are talking about. Humans did not primarily live off of meat at all. If you had any idea about this topic you would know that. And your argument why people in third world countries need meat is because it provides more calories? Seriously, this is among the worst arguments I have ever heard for eating meat indicating an absolutely lacklustre understanding of nutrition and biology. To get 600 calories of beef, you need to feed beef cattle approx. 24000 kcal of grain. Lentils, other legumes as well as soy could be cultivated on that land and are are packed with protein and many essential minerals and vitamins and can sustain way more people, requiring a lot less land. There are some nuanced arguments to be made about certain micronutrients bioavailability, food sensitivities and gut conditions for some people. No one is saying everyone needs to be a vegan as it requires some nutritional knowledge for certain micronutrients like B12, Omega 3 (especially DHA), Choline and Vitamin K2. But a primarily plant based diet is best for overall health, sustainability and not some privileged position of ungrateful college students. Most of these foods are dirt cheap. Plants food are on average way cheaper, especially when you take out government subsidies for the meat industry. So to recap your point about veganism: you are absolutely ignorant, uneducated and completely and utterly wrong and dare I say stupid (as you are so quick to judge people as stupid, so here, take it back). I write this text with love as I expect much better from you. Your points are not brilliant, not tier 2, not very complex, nor revolutionary. You don't even come close to someone like Schmachtenberger for example. Check yourself, you have no grounds to talk down to all of humanity like you do. It's honestly laughable. It's time that you develop true intelligence beyond your psychedelic induced awakenings and train your mind. Let me tell you, if you don't work out, eat fruits and vegetables, do Breathwork and extended meditation sessions on a regular basis, you haven't tapped into the full capacity of your brain yet. My honest advice is that you pump the breaks when it comes to psychedelics and you do groundwork to stabilise your normal waking state into a higher, MORE LOVING baseline state of consciousness because your peak experiences seem to give you a literal god complex and unjustified sense of all knowingness and superiority. You think because you had experiences of infinite intelligence, your egoic mind is now infallible and it's ideas not filtered through your distortions, traumas and blind spots. They are. It's obvious to all of us and you are making a fool of yourself. I am aware that this is my perspective but that's honestly all I can do: share my limited, humble perspective Ok, I am done here. Love you Leo. Have a good day everyone.

@Heart of Space I know many but they prefer to be fucked properly. So I fear you are out of luck.

@Heart of Space There is no helping this perspective. You are lost.

@Gesundheit2 You can't understand it but only have thoughts about it? Why? Just... why? How do you come up with that assumption? Why couldn't there be a more direct way to understand?

@KH2 No, I am not.

@Heart of Space A significant part of your advancements in aerospace is built on the legacy of German scientists and engineers. And yes the gas dilemma was admittedly a mistake. Despite this massive mistake we still have better social security than you. Isn't that a shame? "vastly superior NATO countries" Germany is not only the biggest economy in Europe AHEAD of the UK, It ranks among the highest in terms of human development. I hopefully do not need to tell you that GDP does NOT equal overall development, Top 10 Countries with the highest Human Development Index (HDI) - 2019 Norway — .957 Ireland — .955 (tie) Switzerland — .955 (tie) Hong Kong (China) — .949 (tie) Iceland — .949 (tie) Germany — .947 - there it is baby Sweden — .945 Australia — .944 (tie) Netherlands — .944 (tie) Denmark — .940 "high standard of living" while most of your population is enslaved to having 2-3 jobs earning peanuts, without proper healthcare and social security. But the only thing that matters is that YOU as an individual are well off, right? Oh and I find it very interesting that you consider asking for help and solidarity a sign of weakness and inferiority. This is such a limited and toxic idea. Very sad you think this way. Aren't we supposed to be allies? I guess solidarity is only patriotic and noble when it benefits the military-industrial complex (like with support for Ukraine). I understand that my initial comments were a bit arrogant and I want to take back some of the spitefulness out of my critique, I like the US But I am thankful and privileged to live in Germany

The bottom line is: do you want to understand truth or are you pursuing a lesser goal of "spiritual progress"? The fact that you think because you don't see value in it, others won't either, shows that you are arrogant to that degree. I find this teaching very intriguing as it is not laced with all the baggage that comes from talking about God.

Alieeeeens whooowhoooooo
