Shahid says its a negotiation tactic. He gives more details of the general plan. -
In the 1960s, autism was considered extremely rare, with estimated prevalence rates of 1 in 2500 to 1 in 10000 children. The CDC estimated in 2023 that there were 1 in 36 children in the US diagnosed with autism. Even better diagnostic criteria doesn’t account for this. When RFK, Jr. gets to the bottom of this it is going to destroy the “I am good” image of the politicians who voted against his comfirmation. This is their real fear.

It's already been done. Tibetan Buddhism is tantric and Padmasambhava had consorts or wisdom dakinis. -
This was an interesting exchange today: 'The moment came during day two of Kennedy’s Senate confirmation hearing, where he told Sanders, “By the way Bernie, the problem with corruption is not just in the federal agencies, it’s in Congress too. Almost all the members of this panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.” When the audience clapped in approval of RFK’s comment, Sanders angrily waved his hand in the air, saying, “Oh no! No, no, no, no… I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives, not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry, they came from workers.” Kennedy responded, “In 2020 you were the single largest receiver of pharmaceutical money… Bernie, you were the single largest accepter of pharmaceutical dollars. $1.5 million.” “Yeah, out of $200 million,” Sanders answered.' https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1885039797661585782

None of these politicians seem to care about the chronic disease epidemic. How many of them get contributions from Big Pharma? So far, Kennedy is dominating them with facts. He is use to this and can handle the attacks. https://x.com/i/status/1884648179007713439

Yes, it is consistent with his body language. I also think he may have gotten that gesture from a Star Trek episode. It doesn't look anything like a real fascist salute. The MSM should really be accusing him of being a Romulan. -

But why did the MSM bite at the story? After all, this is inconsequential and not real news. It could have been safely ignored. MSM is good at ignoring stories when it wants to. It’s really a mutual agreement. Sensationalism is good for business. -

That would just be another object. It may or may not match your expectations. And it would very for the individual. Some people see the Musk salute as fascist whereas others see him pointing towards Mars. -

Do you think this may be a case of the observer seeing a pattern that matches his preconceived expectations? So, it would say more about the mind of the observer than the thing observed. -

The cold forces you to concentrate. You either concentrate or go crazy. So it cultivates Dharana and Dhyana. -

I did a Wim Hof ice bath twice. Never again. It would be hard for a normal person to be in the snow like that for even a minute. But Wim Hof has taught people to do that. -

I grew up in a Christian household, but the dogma never made sense to me so I abandoned it. But after studying Hinduism it started to make more sense. Hinduism explains how it works. It is a Bhakti yoga. The Hindu saint Ramakrishna actually became a Christian to see if it could actually lead to self-realization and he verified that it could. The few sincere practitioners of Christianity can reach the highest levels of consciousness. Of course, the mass of people are buried in dogma and rules, but that is the same as any other religion or belief system, and that includes the non-duality crowd. -

Keep in mind that democratic politicians like FDR, Harry Truman, and even JFK would be considered to the right of Trump socially. In those times, the social engineering of progressives wasn't even a factor. Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale came from Minnesota and they sponsered legislation that supported dairy farmers. These politicians would have had just as hard of time wraping their minds around the "trans" thing. -
It’s biological. Your brain adopts. When you take a psychedelic, there is all kinds of adjustments of neurochemicals going on in your brain. My trips are much different than 4 years ago. I still have brilliant colors but the vision part of the trip lasts for a shorter period of time. I know one guy who lost the color visions after a few trips and he was disappointed. One thing you might try is to switch to another mushroom that is known for giving visions.

Good politics comes from a spiritual origin. Think of Martin Luther King, Jr., a Christian minister, or Gandhi, a Hindu saint. The problem with the current so-called “progressive” politics is that it is absent of any spiritual origin, with its roots in scientific materialism and Marxism. It has a reductionistic Marxist “victim/perpetrator” narrative rather than anything transcendent and healing. The consequential fascist and intolerant implementation of their policies is what creates legitimate resistance from the population. Spiritual people recognize this and are naturally repulsed, even though they may be at a beginning level of development where they don’t have good alternatives. -

You might want to check out the spiritual teacher Maharishika. She talks alot about Kundalini awakening and tells people not to activate it because of the problems you pointed out. -

The California environment in its natural state is sagebrush and chaparral, and it is only imported water that maintains the non-native plants and populations. The Santa Ana winds are also a well-known meteorological phenomenon in Southern California. It requires proactive management of the surrounding vegetation by the government and maintainance of adquate water supplies to mitigate the risk of fires. Thus, it is reasonable to suspect government failure in this case due to the enormous losses. During the fire, some fire hydrants actually ran out of water. Previously, the mayor had cut funding from the fire department budget. It will be interesting to see if an investigation can uncover the factors or will this be handled by the citizens throwing out the inept politicians in the chain of responsibility. -
You seemed to have missed the point that i said the technique is useful for some people.

People who already know how to engage in social situations don't need to holler and scream. However, somebody who is timid needs to do something to get the volume of his voice up.
-
His solution for everyone (not just his son) is to talk louder, holler and scream. He is a one-trick pony. It is a useful exercise for people who are too timid, but has to eventually be integrated with common sense into the underlying context.

This is a good point. If Canada was added as one state it would get 53 electorial votes. If each of the 10 provinces was added as a separate state, they would get 73 electorial votes. I had Chatgpt do the math. That doesn’t include the three territories. If the 10 provinces each became a state, former Canada would have 20 senators. The democratic party should jump on this. -

Vegetarianism is a more natural diet, and you can still get animal protein with milk. It is a sattvic diet practiced by holy men in India for centuries. Veganism sounds extreme and unbalanced. I prefer ancient wisdom over modern developments. -

Trump only has two years to implement his agenda before the congressional elections. I don’t see how he could implement something as time consuming as the acquisition of Canada. A president has to be focused on a few key areas to be successful. But, as for the acquisition itself, keep in mind that the acquisition of Alaska was called “Seward’s Folly”. Some of the congressional opposition said: "Seven million dollars for a refrigerator”, “What will we do with polar bears and icebergs?”, “rivers of ice, and death-like solitude”. -

Scientists get around the fine-tuning argument with the Multiverse theory. If there are an infinite number of universes than one of them by chance will be capable of supporting observers and those observers will, of course, note that the universe is fine-tuned. But ironically by Occam’s razor this scientific theory is a less simple explanation than God as a designer.
