Judging, anger, or feeling superior always comes from the ego. But he is doing the same thing, i.e he feels superior to the hypocritical New Agers. It’s not true that only the privileged are into spirituality and healing. In my last ayahuasca ceremony, the man next to me was a policeman. I do all my ceremonies is Mexico, where people are more authentic and community oriented and come from all walks of life. There are also experienced shamen who know how to hold the space.

A shaman follows the path of the heart. That guy in the bottom right of the screen criticizing every step of the interview sounds like a yapping Chihuahua looking for another ankle to conquer. These pundits are all in their heads spinning someone else’s beliefs condensed from the social media atmosphere or main stream media. Their words are like dead men’s bones. That’s why I take the medicines, to alter my consciousness out of the noisy ego voice. Whether the QAnon Shaman is “right” is not important. What is important is that he chose the right methodology – jump into life boldly instead of just talking about it. I don’t know anything about QAnon but judging from its effect, it looks like a type of black magic. It is confronting our unconscious overlords to the extent that they feel it and are concerned.

Extremism is just a symptom indicating there is stress in society. The globalists make obscene profits by destroying millions of jobs and shipping them to China where slave labor is legal. The cause/effect is lost in the complexity and people are at each other’s throats, not seeing the powerful economic forces at work. The mass media further amplifies the conflict for deflection and profit.

He has chosen a difficult path – over three years in prison. But he seems up to the challenge. When he gets out, he will be a real shaman.

I didn’t know he was trying to be a real shaman. I thought he was just mocking. He was using peyote which is a good medicine. The only problem is he was doing it on his own and doesn’t appear to have had a legitimate guide. I am gravitating towards Shamanism. It is the birth right of every human being. Monotheism is a relatively young invention. The people of the entire world use to practice shamanism. If your background is European, monotheism only goes back at most 2000 years. 50,000 years ago, your ancestors were practicing shamanism. If you read the ancient Roman historians describing the Germanic tribes, you will think that they are describing the American Indians. The Germanic tribes were the “noble savage”. A “barbarian” is just someone who doesn’t speak Greek. When the Christians came into Europe, the first thing they did was cut down the trees and destroy the sacred groves that were all over Europe. Saint Boniface is famous for cutting down the sacred Donar Oak. To spread ideology and enslave the population, it was necessary to destroy the European’s connection with nature. https://www.amazon.com/Shamanism-People-Michael-William-Denney-ebook/dp/B00A01DQ2I/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BMMXTXVMC0ZI&keywords=shamanism+for+white+people&qid=1641574911&sprefix=shamanism+for+white+people%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-1

You are asking a speculative question. The Buddha only dealt with "what is". Life is suffering.

I agree. The war of ideologies is an indication of an unbalanced society. I don’t even like spiral dynamics because it perpetuates the primary myth of Western culture: “progress”. I am gravitating towards shamanism – the pursuit of authentic, earth-centered, spiritual wisdom. The antidote for ideology is connection.

How can anyone assimilate his fast talking frenetic rambling about nothing significant? It’s like having junk food shoved down your throat at the speed of light. Contrast that with the slow thoughtful narratives of Alan Watts. Is this a change of culture, creating individuals who are more and more desperate to seek answers outside themselves? The crazy loud voice crushes the still small voice within – the source of authentic wisdom.

People project their personal preferences when they talk about age. My ex wife was 20 years younger than me. That's not a big deal in many countries.

I agree. But the only way a man will ever improve is by making those approaches. Although I don’t think the numbers are nearly as high as you estimated. You have time to do it. These fake gurus are not going to make it more efficient and they will actually just set you back and you will have less money to put into something more useful, like a dance instructor. That’s why this fraudulent marketing is successful. They are appealing to vulnerable men full of fear who aren’t willing to trust their own natural intelligence and want someone else to do it for them. But the helper helps himself to you.

I have found the most soulful people in ceremonies in Mexico. I have given up on the US. The fakery is too intense.

The marketing narrative is that you can develop skills that overcome looks, status, etc. That is a useful belief for buying their products. They will drain your bank account and you will still be faced with the reality. PUA is a scam.

What’s NOT Allowed: . Conspiracy theories (like Illuminati, Reptilians, 9/11 inside job, Flat Earth, Jews running the world, pedophilia rumors, etc) https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/

The takeaway I get from Jordan Peterson is that he is a clinical psychologist who has mastered his material, but yet is not able to solve his own problems and addictions, which shows the impotence of Western psychology and why, if you want to heal, you need to search elsewhere, starting with yourself.

There is a small voice inside you that has more wisdom than the external sources.

I have heard of malls banning PUA behavior. It is private property and the security guard can just kick you out.

This is why the authorities are starting to take notice and it is getting harder to approach women in public. I have a neighbor who is an older lady and likes to do this. She says things like “You are really a nice guy, it’s not true what everyone is saying about you.” I know she is trying to be funny, but it is still slightly irritating. Maybe I am too serious.

Capitalism is threatening the survival of Madre Tierra. Do you think it is a coincidence that a virus is now the problem? Viruses and living organisms have been coexisting in a dynamic equilibrium for billions of years.

Does discussining the capabilities of these youtube celebrities really do anyone any good? It’s all salesmenship and marketing to sell seminars at a premium price. It is now possible to use youtube to create a completely virtual reality. The fact is you have zero proof beyond the imaginary images created. And it focuses the attention away from you. I have some perspective on this because my wingman is a natural, and so I have some sense of what the real deal looks like. And from my perspective these youtube celebrities are selling snake oil. You are better off finding a friend that you can model. You can see the reality in front of your eyes, focus your business on yourself, and not be financially exploited.

I have stopped listening to all of these youtube Munchkins. The purpose of their videos is to sell you a seminar or other product, and then to continually upsell you. It has you going down yet another rabbit hole instead of healing. Youtube has become a big business.

Stanislav Grof claims that Holotropic Breathwork works because it activates your natural DMT.

I don’t see any intelligence in attacking Richard Dawkins. It sounds cultish. Dawkins is rightly showing the absurdity of destructive anthropomorphic dogmas that are strangling humanity. You have to blow up the old building before you lay a new foundation for the new building.

He didn’t mention specific names but generally referred to 1) “plantas medicinales de desintoxicación” (detoxificataion plants) and 2) “plantas de poder” (power plants). In the jungles, there are numerous powerful plant medicines that westerners haven’t even heard of. He said that in his training he forgot his name and past history. The plants possess you and become your teachers. He did mention one plant called “clave ayahuasca” which teaches you to lucid dream.

What does taking opiods have to do with psychedelics? Good grief. My Shaman overcame his drug addiction in the jungles of Peru. This included powerful plants to detoxify the body and mind before even using any visionary plant medicines. This is why I follow the Shamanic traditions and do most of my work in Mexico. Americans are arrogant and think they can just make it up as they go along. It is like someone who sticks a screwdriver in his ear and then says screwdrivers don’t work. He wouldn’t learn the proper use from an experienced carpenter.

I don’t think there will be any religious dogma again as totalitarian as Christianity was historically. There is too much information available and awareness of competing systems.
