Purple Man

@Johnny Galt Thanks to you.

1/Believe me when I say that vaccines will be yearly. It won´t end with a third. And please, study the data. I am too tired for the "60% reduced". 2/ I already spoke about it.There is no need at all for a healthy individual to have this vaccine. I don´t mind if people do it , though. And it seems like there are solid reasons for frail people to do it. Let´s get them vaccinated. 3/I´m not "worried" about vaccines´long term issues. I say that the official narrative is false, because it implies a reportedly solid knowledge on the matter that simply does not exist. Short term ones are indeed worrying, since the VAERS has collected more side effects reports in less than one year than in the prior 30 years, all vaccines combined. Even in this case, elderly people seem to benefit from it. It "seems". Great if that´s the case. No problem with voluntary jabbing. Regarding long term Covid, watch out. I know doctors who are diagnosing it to patients who never even had a +PCR. No, I am not making this up. 4/ Masks are not toys. They heavily interfere with the natural balance between what you get from the atmosphere and what you exhale into it. And they get bactarium and fungus that can cause pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis (sorry if those are not the english names), etc. And most important: they simply don´t work against Covid. I studied the stats of countries with and without masking, and especially the ones available in those places where they were not compulsory up until a particular date, from which they did start being so. And the difference is zero. Just inexistent at all. Actually, in places like Hawaii in the USA, Italy, etc., the infections rised like eagles coinciding with the masking mandates (I am not implying causality). I´ve read several papers on the matter, and particularly the Dannish one, the only real life, out of the laboratory study, with control and experimental groups, living normal life with and without masks. The difference was basically inexistent. BTW, even if they worked there is something called moderation and common sense. If you close roads, you avoid hundreds of thousands of deaths. If you fence every beach, you avoid drownings. You just don´t fucking do it. The possibility of masking Humanity forever (I know there are scientific and political groups asking for it) , like immune system doesn´t work, like it didn´t bring Humanity to 2021, is basically the craziest, saddest, most stupid thought that could have ever come out of the head of a man. And this is the only era where we´re actually in danger of ending up like that. We´d deserve extinction. As simple as that. And if we keep masking kids and make them use hydroalcoholic gel at ages where they should be developing their immune system, we might be on the way of rising a whole generation of sick, frail individuals. 5/ Man, again...I don´t have anything against vaccines, as I said several times. I like facts. I don´t like authority arguments, straw man fallacies, and so on. I am an adult, and I want the health authorities to tell the truth. The good (it exists) and the bad (it exists). And with a proper scientific debate, let people decide.

One of the main fallacies that this pandemics brought is precisely the fake direct relationship between measures and good results, which science has totally debunked. I am going to give you three graphs, comparing Sweden with Israel, UK and Spain. Israel, hard approach. UK, tremendously hard approach. And, as you know, I live in Spain, where we spent three months locked down in our homes, where even today there are places where you can´t be at night on the streets, and where e-ve-ry-fu-cking-bo-dy (except me and I suppose a handful of others) wears a mask all the time, many even alone in the cars. The results? Catastrophic. Some of the worst in the world. And we have one of the best public health systems worldwide... Meanwhile, in Sweden, no mandatory masks indoors or outdors (only a 14 % used them, if my memory does not fail), no lockdowns, and excellent results, with overall mortality similar to year 2017, once adjusted by population. What has the rest of Europe done with the information? Just avoid mentioning Sweden. Here in Spain, it literally is like they that country doesn´t exist. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8yCNUoWQAYbChx?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E511DbnXoAUK1M2?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E511DbnXoAUK1M2?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 If we go into detail, which I won´t because I have talked a lot, you can be sure that lockdowns, curfews and especially masks don´t work at all. But I will cite Czech Republic, which is a particularly interesting case: The 1ST wave was almost inexistent to them. They bragged about discipline, masks, etc. The 2ND wave came, they followed the same rules, and they were the country with most infections in the whole world.

Endless nuances that 99,99 of people totally ignore. Most people bought the false dichotomy fallacy of negationism vs. real science, because it is easy and takes the toll of hard work off their backs. As you ask, I´ll give you my take on both the vaccines and how to treat the crises. 1/For those who don´t know, messenger RNA vaccines work this way: you are injected lipidic nanoparticles, with mARN that code spike proteins. That is, in spite of insert attenuated viruses (as was the case with most vaccines in the past), you make the body "manufacture" them and then you expect that it will also create a defensive response. So far, so good. What´s the problem then? The possible problem is double: short/long time effects. and the debate on the necessity or not of mandatory vaccination. On possible short/long term effects, they start the same way: the necessary condition for them not to happen is both that the spike protein dies soon (as it is expected and reportedly happening) and it staying at the shoulder muscle where it is injected. If it enters the blood stream, it is chaos. As a spanish excellent scientist said, it´d be like a broken bottle on the floor. And it is undeniable that in some cases it has happened. We don´t know if this is frequent or not, but we do know (because one of the scientists who did the review of the Pfizer experiments data said it) that it left the shoulder and appeared in high concentrations in marrow, liver, ovaries, etc. That´s fact. Besides, there are gaps that only faith can save: there is no long term experimental data, and also no experiment was performed on kids, frail ancient people and pregnant women. That could end up being a disaster or not. We´ll have to wait decades. On the necessity of vaccination, the logic structure behind it is just plain bullshit. The vaccine manufacturers´themselves have told a dozen times it does not prevent the vaccinated from getting infected and it does not prevent the vaccinated from infect others. So saying that you need the jab to protect others from the infection is just a lie. As it is the logic behind the "get vaccinated and then avoid contact with people, because you are still in danger too". Imagine that some years ago you had to go to an african country where there is dengue, so you take the dengue vaccine. What would be the point for the dengue vaccine, if you are going to be scared of unvaccinated natives then? Well, this is EXACTLY what is going on with the Covid vaccine. Which, BTW, reportedly turns you into "an assimptomatic spreader", which is precisely the worst that a non vaccinated, asymptomatic individual can be, haha... You see? Oh, and there is a direct relationship between symptoms and capability of infecting others. Being that the case, why the hell is an asymptomatic person a danger to anybody, vaccinated or not? There is a study with like 70 000 people, with reported asymptomatic infections. And only 0,7% infected the people they live with. I´m talking about people you kiss, hug, fuck, shout in their faces. So what´s the chance of infecting others in a casual situation when you don´t have any symptoms? Basically none. But the media doesn´t tell you this. And most are too lazy to read. 2/ On how the whole crisis should be treated: You just tell the truth from the beginning and allow for proper scientific debate. With real IFR data, you avoid panic, authoritarism, the destruction of individual freedoms and rights that took millenia to get, of global economics, of the dreams of hundreds of millions of young individuals, and the unprecedented damage, in deaths and in mental health, that one and a half year of antinatural living brought. You let healthy people from 0-65 lead a normal life, and warn the elderly, frail, or both to be cautious, because there is a new virus who feasts on damaged organisms. And meanwhile you work hard to get treatments and vaccines while they live a semi-normal life, with adequate, not crazy self-restriction. During the Covid pandemic we have seen for the first time that the exceptional became the rule for politicians, scientists and media. With 24/7 hour overamplifying the exception (deaths, serious sickness) and hiding the truth (95% or the deceassed were sick elderly people. Many of the reported deaths "BY Covid" were actually "WITH a positive PCR", etc.), people´s subconscious has been tatooed with fear, which lead to unprecedented, crazy, unscientific measures (lockdowns, curfews, and the worst of all, masking) that people accepted. Until when? Well, they have used the oldest trick of authoritarianism: First, you create a fear. Second, you take hard measures, that are "temporary". Third, you let people get used to those reportedly temporary measures. Fourth, when people gets fed up, you give them an event that will mark the time to come back to normal. Fifth, you make sure the event is impossible. And there you got it. The impossible event is "Zero Covd", something that anyone with half a brain knew from the first day it would never happen. As in Australia, where the authorities have already stated that even with 100% vaccination, even with zero cases, the measures won´t stop... And of course, that logic scaffolding that sustained the overreaction is reusable, and they will next winter: Science will suddendly turn its head towards the flu, and politicians and the media will follow. How do I know this? Because as now it is not necessary to have a number of deaths to get the "pandemic" calification, "cases" will be enough to keep us under exceptional measures. Do you think they won´t use the flu as the new scapegoat? I knew this since March 2020. And just a few days ago, an importan Spanish politician has said that masks should stay forever to avoid...deaths by flu. And Science magazine has started talking about aerosol transmission of the flu. And the CDC´s new PCR´s don´t distinguish between flu and Covid. Etc. I´m sorry for the long posts. It would take a 3 long hour video to cover just a tiny part of it. All I am asking is for people to read real science, real statistics, and avoid childish tagging and dichotomies. It takes a great deal of effort, but it is worth it.

@OpoSorry, man, I am not a teen. I don´t waste time with "witty quotes" heard elsewhere. Just leave it here.

I was not very much aware of Brazil case, but in India they have had some of the best results all around the world for a long period. I was quite shocked when in Spain all you could hear months ago was that India was a mess, when in reality in the worst moments they had like 3000/4000 reported daily deaths, which is actually a good number when you consider their population. But the media does not give a damn about context.

I know that educated discrepancy can be easily mistaken in such a hot topic. But I am going to say a few things about this. Only facts, because I don´t care about opinions. If somebody wants to reply, I´ll gladly read his/her comments, but if he/she only has words they heared in the TV to share, such as "negationist", just breath and don´t say it. I´ve dedicated thousands of hours since March 2020 to study the data, science, and every bit of interesting information, apart from being in touch with highly respected specialists. I mean, REAL specialists. 1/ I am astonished at people saying he´s an idiot because he did not take the vaccine so he got the Covid as a well deserved effect... Vaccines don´t prevent infection, don´t avoid transmission to the unvaccinated or to other vaccinated individuals. Actually, as the percentage of vaccinated population grows, the obvious effect is that most (by far) of the new infected are already vaccinated. In some places in my country, where 70% are vaccinated, basically almost every infection happened in a vaccinated individual. Vaccines offer immunity, not total protection (no, they are not synonimous). That means that it creates a defensive team to help the immune system in the duty of recognizing and attacking antigens, so the infection in frail people might be softer. That´s its strenght. 2/ The infection Fatality Rate, even in the worst moments of the 1ST, 2ND waves, was as low as 0,03% in ages 0-70, which the media "confused" with Case Fatality Rate or even raw mortality for the sake of taking advantage of general panic. Up until 45/50, the IFR was similar-lower than that of the flu. So calm down, guys. For a healthy immune system, the infection of Sars-CoV-2 is probably never going to even become COVID (again, no, infection from "Sars..." and "Covid" are not synonimous), and when it does, it most likely feel like a flu or even milder. Sick, frail old people are the aim of Covid in a extremely high percentage. For most, there is nothing to worry about. These are facts, not opinions. 3/ No, Covid has not killed millions. The first thing to check is the way countries tag deaths as "death BY Covid". It has been a total fraud. That does not mean Covid does not exist. It means that it has been grossly exaggerated, because the media know that 99% of people are too lazy to just ask how you enter the "Covid list". For you to have a fair idea: in the UK, if you ever have a positive PCR (we could talk A LOT about PCR´s, but it´s not the right moment), you join a "Covid positive list". If you die by whatever cause (yes, even suicide or getting strangled by a thug) your name gets cross-checked. If you appear in the "Covid positive list", you enter the official "death BY Covid" list. As two scientists discovered it and were shocked by the manipulation, they complied. The aftermath was that the health authorities kept the same method, but restricting it to 28 days after the positive PCR. Which means if you die by whatever cause (cancer, stroke, getting run over by a bus) within 28 days after the +PCR, you enter the "death BY Covid list". What´s the name for this, if not scam? Especially when we know that a group of scientists complained that if they kept this same accounting system after general vaccination, people would stop believing in their efficacy, because the "body count" number wouldn´t go down after vaccination, as any death with a +PCR would still be considered as "Covid death". You might say "well, this is just in the UK". No. You guys are mostly from the USA. Well, I don´t know how you did not check the stats of your own country, because I did it, for the sake of knowledge. The CDC stats clearly show that only 6% of the "Covid deaths" are purely so. It is explicitely written in the official site. Also, you can see that the reportedly official "Covid deaths" figures is actually the sum of flu+pneumonia+Covid, while the "Covid only" is that 6 %. These are facts. In Germany or Spain it is even worse. I live in Spain, and it was just pure madness. Every-fucking-body who died in 2020 in a hospital was tagged as Covid when there was a +PCR (which is crazy enough by itself...), but when we didn´t even have enough PCR´s (first half of the year), anybody who died with respiratory difficulties was a "Covid death" (who dies without breathing difficulties?) I have three close personal cases that are perfect examples of it. In Germany it is stated that 80% of the reported figures are actually people who died many weeks after the +PCR. Italy? One of the main scientific advisors of the government recognized that if he had to do it again, only 12% would have been tagged as "Covid deaths" This has been going on around the world, and it might come down as one of the biggest manipulations of all time. Those scientists and experts I talked with are both scared and astonished that they could have pulled this off. Again, this does not mean negation of a disease that can kill frail people. It is a total negation of the official narrative, which is an insult to our intelligences. And I say this after reading dozens of papers and absorbed thousands of pages of good information. Not "official", not "alternative", but good, serious information. 4/ Regarding vaccines: Yesterday I talked with one of the foremost experts in Spain. He is TOTALLY for them. Totally. And I don´t have anything but mad respect for his knowledge and intelligence. If he says they are working, they are. But even here the manipulation is unbearable. Why? Well, the UK health authorities and the Spanish ones have already stated that all those reported deaths (thousands) as a side effect of vaccines are not the direct effect of vaccination, but of the frail immune system of the deceassd, which are old and have comorbidities. So, if you die at age 88, with a positive PCR plus cancer and poor general health, you died BY Covid. If you die at age 88, with full vaccination, cancer and poor general health, you die because you are old and frail. If they used this second method with the "Covid death" tagging, we would have never ever heared about such thing as a disease called "Covid". The fact that this does not enrage intelligent people is beyond me. 5/My stance on vaccines? Yes, they seem to have worked fairly well with the old and frail.That´s great news. Great. The long-term consequences? We´ll have to wait. It is true, and I know this for a fact, that the concentration of spike protein in marrow, liver, ovaries, etc., hours after the vaccines who rely on messenger ARN (Pfizer, Moderna) is extremely high and worrying. Again, that is a fact. So as my health is excellent, I have nothing to worry about Covid, and no, I won´t get vaccinated. That does not mean I am anti-vaxx. I have more than my fair amount of them, and I even shot more than the usual ones. But there is no objective need to do it except you have previous risk factors that could turn Covid into a serious disease, even deadly. And vaccinating kids is close to Humanity crimes. And yes, "my" experts all agree. Oh, and in spite of blindly attacking anyone who has a good reason to not get the jab, I suggest you to read the scientific report the english government requested to a infectious disease experts organization: there it clearly states that (I´m speaking from memory), 95% of the Covid-related deceased will be fully vaccinated individuals who could not stand the vaccine. You won´t see this in the news, will you? 6/So, guys, things are not black and white. Study the case as seriously as you meditate.

@Leo GuraIn my experience, which I don´t know if you share, there is indeed our True Nature, which I could call the trascendental Awareness, and then there´s the observed contents of the dream. In the contents of the dream you won´t find Truth Itself, but they can be aligned with the knowledge of the Trascendental Awareness or not. In the incarnating process, finite, dreamed up beings can be connected to Source Awareness or be detached from It. The meaning of incarnation can only be to dream characters who are everytime more conscious and atuned to Source.

I am not into psychedelics, but being well aware of how things work without that aid, and having dozens of close and not so close accounts to compare with the sober experience, it is very clear that the first is a slow, progressive path, that does not reveal both sides of the "no self" experience soon, which leads to an intermediate period of frustration where the world has lost its appeal but you still can´t foresee radical freedom. Psychedelics, for what I see, can bringa about an immediate outbreak of that freedom:) I am thinking seriously in taking a shortcut with psychoactives, BTW:) I´ll post if I take the step:)

Hi. Well, my case was not usual. It didn´t start with "spirituality", with sitting and practicing, and then having awakenings. It was basically the opposite: Since I was a kid I had spontaneous insights with no proper context, so they were mostly terrifying. I searched for answers for the dissapearence of a human center, for the lack of form of the awareness that seemed to be what I was, or to the scary mirage quality of existence when I stopped thinking. And then came "spirituality", which for me was finding a link and explanation for it all. I found Nisargadatta, etc., and the rest was easier:)

I think there is a great difference between a psychedelic-induced first insight into the dissapearence of the ego, on the one hand, and getting there without that aid, on the other. Because psychedelics might simultaneously give you a glimpse of both the dissolution of the "enjoyer" and also of the radical openness, the total fall of artificial borders that it ends up bringing about. But when you get there without that aid, you might only see the ego falling down, while the freedom and the enjoying of the manifest world delays for quite a long time, becauseit takes a hard adaptation from "enjoyer enjoying" to "pure enjoying". Actually it was tough for me. It is one of the things that got me going two steps forward, and one step back, and the base for the dark night of the soul for most.

Well, real pacifism has to be a choice, not the only chance. The attitude of a weak man with no offensive/defensive abilities whatsoever can´t be properly called "pacifist", while Mike Tyson´s or Khabib´s can when they choose to not rip heads off (something they could do). In the same manner, we live in a progressively softer society as many among us live in mostly safe environments, and there is a consequent bias in modern times to fluffy/hippy spirituality, which I think lacks depth. The depth of fiery spirituality that takes into account that Cosmic Love can be at the root of manifestation, but within manifestation there is love and horror, peace and violence. Supressing 50% of what life means seems to me like a highly immature attitude towards spirituality and life itself. To me, the gracious, sincere hug of two fighters after a fight where they have been trying to knock the other one out is deeper in spiritual terms than the smiley welcoming of a hippy commune.

I don´t believe in miraculous happenings precisely at age 33. But at age 30-35 it indeed starts a process which combines mental maturity, the first glimpses of " life experience", while still in a tremendously energetic, young body. That allows for a balance that you didn´t have before and one that you might (or not) lose afterwards if your body or life take you down. Besides, incredible amounts of bullshit, pride and naive idealism drop off . You start having access to the best resource for knowledge, which is experience, and for the first time you can be really compassionate. And not because "you want to leave a mark in the world", "you love Humanity" or any other purely ideological crap, but because you start observing and blaming yourself more than the world around you, and understand how many times you have failed, how many times you have not been able to be be on par with your fancy thoughts. And that´s when understanding of others´mistakes and compassion happen.

Although I love the guy and the book, and he came out of the psychedelic path intact, he tirelessly confesses that it was not a good idea and that he would have been much easier on himself if he started today. Not only for the possible consequences, but because (and I think you concur) he states that the revelations and the created are truly infinite, so there is no need to rush because you will never find an end to it.

...And did it for years. But he has a fascinating theory, which for him was just how things work: He was willing to accept the horrendous suffering he underwent in some of those trips because a human experimenting them means taking it out of the collective human psyche, as a whole. Which I suspect is similar to what the history of Jesus Christ incarnating to save Humanity really means. We´re not talking here about personal ordeal. Rather, he accessed the psyche of Humanity as a whole, which is why he could push those traumas from us. Bache´s book is full of amazing and beautifully put insights, from the emphasis in the utter trascendent/mystical experiences (Godhead, Diamond Light, Infinity...) feeling like a remembering of what our true nature is/was, not something you discover for the first time in your trips , to the very interesting idea of rejecting what he calls the "up and out" attitude of most mystics. With this, he meant that the aim of incarnation is not getting to the highest mystical heights and then dissapear as the Godhead again. He truly believes (and I concur) that incarnation is our destiny by means for constant improvement while in the manifest worlds of form. He had visions of Humanity becoming, after a humungous crisis, a magnificient being, with thoughts tuned to Source, and our physical capabilities radically improved. And the way he expresses this has nothing to do with silly New Age-ism.

Hi, Farnaby! Are you spanish or just living here? I really thought I was the only one:) Even in the same country there are so different behaviours. I live in La Coruña, and places like this or Santiago de Compostela are just incredible for picking up, while the Basque Country is just the opposite. Anyway, the whole night/flirt game, which I played so much because it is fun, it is also tremendously energy consuming, and goes hand in hand with lack of sleep, alcohol, etc., which takes its toll.

Then it seriously depends on the country. I am from/live in Spain, and right now the demented Covid measures wiped out the country , but up until 2020, if you were willing to try and miss some attempts (or not even so), you might almost every friday/saturday night end up having sex with a previously unknown woman. Many times you don´t even have to try yourself. And I am 46... Obviously that´s the potential situation, and doesn´t mean that you´ll be willing to try. Flirting is one of the most ridiculous activities you can engage on, however interesting the result might end up being, and many times you just don´t want to make an attempt or to be judged like in a sad song contest. But that´s a whole different story.

Is there a confirmed date yet for the interview?

I think this sums it all up. Thanks again for the very interesting report.

Oh, yes you can...Awakenings come in degrees for most of us, and thank God. Too much too soon blows your stability.

Thank you for the detailed response. I have to say that I struggle with the possibility of the second experience (life, fullness, joy...) being deeper than the first (nothingness, void). Please, don´t take this as a stupid verbal challenge. You were the one experiencing both, and the one who knows the flavour of those insights, but in my meditative experiences everything that has a taste of life, of light, of "somethingness", like in your second trip, is always a product of an aware space where that fullness happens, and this aware void is prior to any experience. So I ask you: if you felt that the Absolute was the fullness, shouldn´t it be also present in the first experience? Again, I am asking this with respect and with the desire to know better about what you experienced. I am fascinated with 5MeO experiences. It´s just that its insights not always coincide with mine, and I want to get to the bottom of it all.

Can you please give more details? In those two experiences, what made the "No thing" in the first one and the "Absolute" in the second so different? Was in the second any self-awareness or self/reflection that was not in the first?

Do you know what would be groundbreaking? A conversation between Christopher Bache, the writer of the best book about spiritual experiences on LSD ("Diamonds from Heaven", after methodically collecting decades of his own trips), and Leo Gura. Two of the top psychonauts of our time, totally different characters, exploring both paths.

Leo, my music is totally devoted to spirituality. Would it be nasty self-promotion if I leave my musical website´s address here?

I love those phrases that convey deep, but practical truths: "Recognizing yourself as aware is recognizing yourself as the Dharmakaya"
