Oh look, a wild assumption has appeared!?

Truth is simply what is. Being = Truth

So long as you are insisting on "two bodies/people experiencing two different perspectives simultaneously", so long there is nothing anyone could say to make you entertain a different thought. And so long as you are insisting on thought in general, you won't be able to see beyond thought.

Oh? Are there two bodies? Or is it maybe just one big body?

There are not two. No "my perspective" and no "your perspective". Nothing to explain here, go beyond thought. And don't turn "beyond thought" into yet another thought. It seems that you are local, that there is a kind of center, which you call "I". And once there is "I", "you" arises simultaneously. Both are illusory.

Locked for low quality. Please make more substantial posts.

One does nothing with the Truth except dwell in it.

Love. What is sought is Love. And the only thing that can put an end to addiction, is Love. What one is addicted to, is Love. But a rather crude and conditional form of love. Food, drugs, sex, porn, exercise, booze, etc. What they all have in common is that they provide Love - albeit only temporarily and highly conditional.

Does it?

There you go?

This is misinformation. These parking lots aren't exclusively reserved for LGBTQ. It's meant to be symbolic. The problem was bad reporting by the BILD (rather a right/conservative tabloid than a serious news paper), making it look like they were only for LGBTQ and immigrants. Interview with Thomas Morlock (I translated it to English for you guys) Hanau didn't have CDS last year, so they thought about either painting a crosswalk in rainbow colors or the parking lot. Also, last year, 9 immigrants were killed in Hanau by right wing terrorists. That's why it's also meant to be symbolic for them.

Beautifully written!! Thank you for sharing that amazing story with us? I think this is the most beautiful and well written trip report I have ever read.

Regret means "I shouldn't have done it that way". No "shouldn't", no regret.

Where are my fellow Russians at? God I love Miyagi?

You won't be able to synthesize it unless you have access to a lab or lab equipment at home (which I doubt). 5-MeO-DMT needs to be synthesized, you can't extract it from plant material like N,N-DMT. Even if you had access to a lab - unless you are a biologist/chemist who has experience with working in a lab, you won't be able to synthesize it without making a mess of it, because you would create to much byproducts.

I can't see how humanity is going to solve climate crisis anymore. I'm sorry but I am seriously starting to lose hope in humanity. I know that some of you say things like "oh, don't worry, humanity is resilient and if pressed hard enough, we find a solution because our will to survive is stronger than anything". I don't think so. I just don't see how, but please, do your best to convince me otherwise. There's no way that a global society so f*cking unconscious and so unbelievably egotistic and stupid (I'm talking mostly about the biggest players in the world) is going to be able to pull through this enormous collective effort. Why shouldn't we be like the dinosaurs (or the thousands of other species that are currently dying because of us) and simply die out? There's absolutely nothing special about us and no reason why we shouldn't simply vanish from the face of this earth because of our own self-destructive idiocy and foolishness. Colonizing Mars, what a dumb idea. We are not wise enough to handle the powerful technology that we have developed. We're blasting CO2 into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate, we rely on the most inefficient and destructive technologies possible to generate electricity and the demand for it is rising faster than ever. And as if that wasn't bad enough, there are hundreds and hundreds of millions, if not over a billion people who either straight up deny that we're at fault or who simply don't give a fuck at all, and who thus actively or passively contribute to this catastrophe. What needs to happen that we change our lives? A full blown catastrophe?? Because there's no way in hell that we will take radical measures before anything radical has happened. "And we are like somebody who has been dead drunk while the house was burning down around us. And now we have awakened to the sound of falling timbers and the smell of smoke, and we have a certain limited amount of time to figure this situation out. We don’t have 500 years or 100 years. Anybody who speaks in terms of solutions that require 100 years or even 50 years to implement doesn’t understand the dynamics of the situation." - Terence McKenna Again, I invite you to change my mind. Tell me why I'm wrong or why the situation isn't as bad as I think it is or why I should believe that the stupid ape that we are will be wise enough to recognize that it's sawing off the log that it's sitting on before it's too late.

Science is not an institution... Out of all the obstacles to awakening, science is but a little hurdle in comparison with other manifestations of human selfishness. There won't be any mass scale awakening within our lifetime and science will not be "overthrown", only transformed. Don't turn science into a Boogeyman.

@SQAAD Don't worry, it's all good. You will never be that guy from Funkytown.

@SQAAD I know. Me neither.

Of course. The question is: so what?

Merkel & Laschet: Mostly orange, a good chunk of blue and maybe a hint of green in Merkel. Scholz: Mostly orange with a little bit of green. Baerbock: Mostly green with some orange. I don't think there is a single influential politician with any notable amount of yellow. Highest we have is green in Die Grünen und Die Linke. I think there is almost no green within the AfD. There's some green in the FDP, but it's mostly orange with still some notable blue underbelly. I'm sure there are politicians who have a leg in yellow, but that's no more than 3-4%.

The more you surrender, the less you suffer. Zero suffering therefore means total surrendering. Total surrendering means death, at which point there is no surrendering anymore. So long as there is someone who surrenders to something/-one else, there is suffering. Because what surrenders is "you". What suffers is always and only "you". When there is pain, but no one who is in pain, then there is no suffering. That's the story of Jesus on the cross. Unbearable, excruciating pain, physical and emotional. All you gave to people was Love, and in return, your closest friends betray and deny you, and they thrust 0,5 inch thick rusty metal nails through your hands and feet and let you hang and rot on a 10 ft tall wooden cross in the desert sun, while your loved ones are watching, helpless and in maddening despair.

Damn! That's what I call proper journalism.

@supremeyingyang Which ones do you mean?
