He isn't straw manning the typical academic. They actually do tend to be irrationally close minded. But to your point, yes there are many of them who are intelligent enough to consider what to them seems to be novel ideas. Such examples would be individuals like Max Tegmark or really any of the founders of Quantum Mechanics. But people like these are not the norm in mainstream science, they are the exception.

That's a distinction without a difference, as objectively speaking all that's physical is spiritual. Of course you know that already, I assume it might be useful to someone else reading this.

I didn't watch the video as I have little to no interest in the topic. So perhaps what I'm about to say you could argue is unfair/biased and irrational. But I'm going to assume that Leo teaches a highly indirect method of "getting laid" that involves many unnecessary steps. And I don't just mean that you could simply create the most desirable sexual partner out of thin air, you could. I also mean that even as a mortal with typical human limitations, what Leo is teaching probably still involves unnecessary steps. As you could simply walk the streets of a metropolitan city and ask every attractive female you see if she wants to fuck. Sure, you wouldn't have the highest sucess rate, but it would be above 0. And sure, a few of the women will probably assault you/pepper spray your face or even call the police. But if you persevere, you'd succeed and much sooner than you expected.

Icke certainly seems to have had legitimate spiritual experiences. The fact that he says things like those you've mentioned, and that death is an illusion is clearly proof he has a drastically different worldview from most humans currently. So I'd say he's awake, though I'm not entirely certain why he promulgates so many conspiracy theories.

Quite correct, these things you're identifying as foreign beliefs are nothing alien to these people. But are rather integral parts of how they make sense of reality. They feel these beliefs are part of themself just as much as their body is. So when you challenge their beliefs, they perceive you to be like an external threat trying to take their life. It's only logical that they'll dig their heels in the dirt and double down on their convictions, much as you would if you encountered a hungry animal trying to kill you. You wouldn't just surrender, and think well there's evidence that I could be dead therefore I should be. No, you'd fight back, what they're doing relative to their religious beliefs is no different. If you want to alter the beliefs of other people, telling them they're wrong is 180 degrees the opposite of what's actually effective. Which is to show them they already believe what you want them to. Combine that with graduality to slowly alter their perceptions, and how they think about reality. And you have a winning formula for manipulating others' worldview/mindset. This is effectively how Charles Manson took ordinary law abiding Americans who wouldn't hurt a fly and transformed them into crazed cultists and murderers. Certainly, the same strategy could be employed to bring about the opposite impact.

Lol, this is already the way reality is. The human species is just too judgemental to realize it.

All human societal structures are basically cults. It's just that some are more obviously cult like than others.

You can't be serious. You said this in the 'Is this my first incarnation thread' "That's because you assume when Tyler goes off (sleeps), Tyler still goes on dreaming. What really happens is that when Tyler goes off, Tyler goes off, it's not sleeping, it doesn't exist anymore lol" I could quote the rest of the comment, but this is enough to demonstrate that you understand materialism is bullshit. As under the materialist paradigm there's this thing called object permanence which would mean that Tyler exists while sleeping(the same way the moon is assumed to still exist if you were to look away). And what edit did you think I made? lol. The only editing I did was a spelling correction.

You know it's nearly impossible for you to successfully pretend you're a naive realist when we have access to this. https://www.actualized.org/forum/profile/5580-shin/

Is that projection? And where is the brain occurring?

Due to oneness, you and other are the same. So there's no difference(objectively speaking) between you and someone whom you experience as other than/outside of you. However, the relative nature of self is relevant here. As the nature of reality is that it's essentially a field of infinite possibility. And some things are highly unlikely to occur to the point of being practically impossible. An example of this would be you evolving by your own power to become basically a god. It's technically possible, though so unlikely that it may as well be a pipe dream. A more likely scenario would be that you find another who is omnipotent and uses their power to elevate you to the same consciousness that they posses. And even that's highly improbable, at least for most humans because in order for that to realistically occur you'd have to be seeking such a being, and most humans aren't aware the existence of such a thing is possible.

Yes, but it's imagined as being more difficult than in a sleeping dream. So you might need the assistance of some powerful otherworldly being or certainly at any rate something outside of yourself. It's important to keep in mind that there's also a difference between simply the awareness that you're dreaming, and the capacity to actively control the dream consciously. You can have a dream where you know you're dreaming but your attempts to manipulate it fail, and likewise it's possible to manipulate the dream successfully without focusing on the fact that you're dreaming it.

Since I assume none of us have any conscious memories of physical death. The logical thing to do would be to evaluate the near death experiences of others(where they're clinically dead for a period of time but come back). Based on these reports, it seems dying is eerily similar to doing a mega dose of a psychedelic. So it's only reasonable that physical death results in God realization, and also the person awakening into a higher dream. Even if the reports we have from people oftentimes won't tell us that they're God, there's a couple of possible reasons for that. Either they know they'd be called crazy, or they haven't gone far enough into high consciousness to realize it. But in any event, we don't know with any specificity precisely what happens, all we can do is obtain a general idea of what occurs.

That's valid, but understand the mechanics of how it works. Your entire experience as a "real" human being is a dream of yours. Then if you take for example a high dose of 5 Meo DMT, you experience effectively a new dream(although one that doesn't look entirely too visually alien to the ordinary one) where you realize that you've made all of reality up out of nothing. So basically you're God dreaming that it realizes itself to be God, as the hallucinatory changes brought on by psychedelics are dreams much like your experience of sober reality.

Well, absolutely speaking there isn't any difference between one state of consciousness or another, and therefore there isn't any actual difference between one dream and another. In a relative sense there is however, and as such there are in fact higher level dreams from which the truth is more obvious. So to answer your question, it's both ways. Consuming a psychedelic and/or meditating will both bring you into a different dream, but it's a higher dream which is closer to not dreaming at all(or in other words not deceiving yourself anymore). But even the concept of dreaming vs not dreaming has no absolute truth to it since it's also a duality of concepts.

This is similar to what I was thinking. @J J Keep in mind that if you lose your ego "everything" you have as a mortal. You'll gain absolutely Everything(that which you have plus everything you don't have). So the stakes here are infinitely high, if you succumb to fear you'll be depriving yourself of the greatest possibility. Think of it like this, if you were offered a dollar or a trillion, which would you take? If you say the trillion, then you'd probably have to answer the question of taking infinity vs the finite with the choice of infinity. Another thing you should consider, is that when you're doing 5MEO, you almost certainly will come back to your mundane ordinary life afterward. So the transitory nature of the experience should comfort you as you know you're not going to truly lose your old life in any permanent sense(or temporary sense either, as you gain the absolute while in the trip). Reality is nothing. That isn't the question relevant here, the actual issue is infinite reality vs finite reality. Infinite love vs finite love, infinite truth vs finite truth etc etc.

Our sleeping dreams and the hallucination of consensus reality aren't truly separate realities, but are one continuous dream. And as such it's possible for things to carry over from one dream to another and indeed this occurs constantly. Now with that being said, it's ostensibly somewhat difficult to do what we're describing. Because it requires a higher level of proficiency in the dream space than even many who call themselves lucid dreamers have. In case you don't know the veracity of the things I've said above, I'll refer you to my second ever post on here as it details some lucid dreams I've had that prove consensus reality is alterable/learnable from the dream state(as I experienced oneiromancy).

It's quite alright, I just had difficulty listening to it without creating a ridiculously in depth response. Exactly. Dave I'm sure is fairly intelligent, it's just that his capacity to think clearly about the paranormal is curtailed by the limitations of his worldview. Years ago I was much like him. I once was as skeptical as you, but when enough highly improbably or in some cases downright impossible things happen(that is given the usual cause and effect logic of Newtonian physics). Eventually you realize that your understanding of the world attributes limitations to reality that it doesn't in fact have. Think about it like this, imagine you're someone who is a strong skeptic of the concept of universal gravitation. You think it couldn't be part of reality, for matter to be attracted to other matter because let's assume you don't have any understanding of what causes such a thing to be so. This is a common level of understanding among the public(they believe in gravity, but if you ask them why it's so they can't really tell you since they don't have know GR). From this skeptical point of view, you could write off all the successful laboratory experiments in this field as having occurred due to pure dumb luck. The logical problem with taking such a position, is that if you bothered to analyze all the available evidence, and calculate the possibility of randomness creating the outcomes, it would be so improbable that you'd like a damn fool for believing that gravity was an illusion created by coincidence. In the same way, paranormal things have in my own life occurred so often that I would be foolish to believe that they occurred purely by chance. And when you consider the wealth of third person accounts of the same phenomena I've gathered(which I believe in only because I've had the same/very similar experiences) it becomes effectively a scientific impossibility that psychic abilities aren't real. There are far more instances of this than an anecdote or two. So it's good that you're open minded, it's an indication of intelligence. It's funny you say that, because I often employ beyond rational skepticism(that normally arises naturally in the minds of materialists) to my own magical practices. It's a double edged sword, because on the one hand I'm creating excuses for procrastinating on doing certain things(because I want to isolate all the potential variables as much as possible). But on the other hand, it benefits me because it permits me to double blind test occult things and therefore distinguish between magickal workings that were effective independently of my own willpower/personal occult capability, and those that were successful simply because I manifested a certain outcome purely by faith. I know I've stated this before but it bears repeating. The only way to ascertain the validity of 3rd person accounts is to attempt to directly experience the same phenomena firsthand. When your own findings corroborate 3rd person accounts, you don't know for certain that they're true, but at least you know that it's reasonable to assert that they are or are likely to be. It is mysterious, but not entirely incomprehensible. In spite of what Leo or anyone might tell you, it's actually humanly possible to logically understand nearly anything, even things that are fully paradoxical and self contradictory(and ironically Leo himself is actually proof of that). Now with that being said, to humans the paranormal does feel more magical and mysterious than natural phenomena. And just a little detail, you do know that atoms aren't actually literally as balls bouncing around right? They're observed as being something much more uncertain and non concrete than that. The more you zoom in on reality the more loosey goosey things become. Meaning an electron is more difficult to nail down than an atom, a quark is more difficult to nail down than an electron etc etc. Ha, I appear to be rubbing off on you.

I'd recommend you read this. https://www.protestkit.eu/how-to-test-dmt/ And yeah, DMT is incredibly potent. Though that isn't the main concern I have relative to what you've said. What bothers me more is how you're going about acquiring DMT in Russia. Your government loves to masquerade as drug dealers so as to entrap you. I'm not trying to slight the Federation, it's just that they're very tough on this issue(and pretty much any issue involving law breaking for that matter) more so than many foreign governments.

It is possible. As to the methodology you'd use, there are an infinite amount of possible ways. You'd probably want to start with simply training yourself to remember your dreams. Once you're capable of recalling all or nearly all of your dreams at will, then you should focus on becoming lucid in the dream state. Once you've mastered that, then you could simply will yourself into someone else's dream from a dream of your own.

If you want to be absolutely certain, you could subject your LSD to GC/MS. That's a non specific test that'll give you a full report of everything contained in the blotter. But to be perfectly frank it's likely unnecessary as the Ehrlich reagent alone should be sufficient to determine that it's truly LSD.

Ha, as if it's difficult to become enraged with a dentist, or just doctors in general for that matter. Dan Pena told one of his doctors he'll piss on his grave, and when the man died he did indeed piss on his grave. I know Pena's not a good example because he's angry with basically everything and everyone that isn't mega wealthy and successful, but I feel it's a good thing to cite anyway.

I've just read this study https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.8b00692 It appears as if microdosing DMT is likely to be a useful tool in self development. Mostly because it reduces anxiety, which seems to be the most widespread problem 1st world humans encounter.

To expound more on my thesis. My position is this, that we as humans are God(who is of course Omnipotent) and when we took human form we removed like 99.99999% of our divine powers from ourselves, such that we have latent supernatural abilities which we can easily ignore/or even develop into incredible mechanisms for manipulating consensus reality. In my studies(first reading the accounts of others and then putting them to the test, acquiring firsthand knowledge of certain supernatural phenomena) I've found that we basically have a power level(that is the degree to which we are All-Powerful), and that power level can be manipulated as I've learned(increased or decreased by various methods. So it's basically like Leo's concept of Consciousness having a master knob, and if you for instance do a psychedelic the knob will be spun in the direction of infinity. But instead of consciousness, we're looking at the knob specifically for power(Omnipotence). Of the methods I've tried, I've found sucess in chanting HAM(the bija mantra for the throat chakra). And other than that I've been theorizing purely off third person experiences. Which is why I've determined that Tenskwatawah likely used Datura(please never do it yourself, too dangerous) to gain his power(or he may have been born with it). In any event, the answer to your question relative to the effectiveness of the magick. That would depend entirely on the person using it, if Tenskwatawah's power level were infinite for example, then yes Presidents Bush and Reagan would have died in office, and Biden would be next. However, consider that if he were that powerful(basically a literal god) then he would have assuredly made himself immortal and indestructible, and yet Tenskwatawah died in the battle of the Thames, so we know there are likely limits to his power(the only other alternative is he wanted to die at the hands of Harrison's men which is patently absurd). And since there are limits to it, his curse isn't guaranteed to work indefinitely, and could even be broken by another occultist(which is what I believe may have happened in the Reagan Administration). Or due to his finite power level, the curse lost enough of it's energy in 1980 to not kill Reagan fully(because it may be subject to the second law of thermodynamics, since Tenskwatawah didn't have infinite energy, the curse which came from him was finite and thus was bound to run out eventually, just as it's inevitable that a star will eventually run out of hydrogen from burning it's finite supply).

In 1811, the Shawnee Chieftan Tecumseh assembled a group of braves to oppose the Treaty of Fort Wayne. An agreement between the US and six different Indian tribes that would bring about the transfer of over 3 million acres of land to the US. William Henry Harrison brokered the treaty. When Tecumseh and his half-brother Tenskwatawah resisted the treaty, Harrison assembled a force of 1000 troops desiring to intimidate the Shawnee tribe into peace. This was unsuccessful, as Tecumseh responded by launching a surprise attack in Prophet's town next to the Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers. The battle went down in history as the Battle of Tippecanoe. After leading a successful defense, William Henry Harrison became venerated as a national hero with the name Old Tippecanoe. But, Tecumseh met his fate in the Battle of the Thames. His half brother Tenskwatawah, consumed with anger used his knowledge of the hidden technologies of life to destroy the future of Harrison saying "Harrison will die I tell you and after him every Great Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone remember the death of my people.". It's the year 1840, William Henry Harrison has been elected President of the United States. He opted out of the traditional carage to ride on horseback to his inauguration, as a prideful display of his virility. Harrison did this of course because he feared that at his age of 68 and frail as he was, that had he not flaunted what vitality he had left his reputation would suffer. He then orated 8445 words, the longest inaugural address to date. A grueling 2 hours in the freezing cold of winter. He immediately felt ill, 31 days after being sworn in, his cold took his life. The eight presidents before Harrison died after leaving Office, making William Henry Harrison the first President to die in the White House. It's now November 6th 1860, Abraham Lincoln defeats John C Breckenridge by 108 electoral votes where 152 votes were needed as there were only 303 electoral college members as opposed to the 538 we have today. It's now April 15 1865, Old Honest Abe has defeated the south fortifying the Union against it's domestic enemies, he's abolished slavery and modernized the US economy. Could he survive the curse of Tenskwatawah? One John Wilkes Booth entered into Lincoln's balcony at Ford's Theater, and when the crowd applauded he discharged his revolver into the back of Lincoln's head, afterwards the President soon died. November 2nd, 1880. James A Garfield is elected President. Four months after his inauguration President Garfield was at the Baltimore and Potomac railroad station in Washington DC meaning to attend his 26th college reunion. The President was shot in the back twice. Charles J Guiteau, a prominent American writer and lawyer immediately took the blame saying "I did it. I will go to jail for it. I am a Stalwart and Arthur will be President." Year 1899, Vice President Garet Hobart dies of heart disease and President McKinley replaces him with Theodore Roosevelt. Making Roosevelt America's youngest President at the time should his running mate perish. Six months after being inaugurated, President McKinley was attending the Pan American exposition in Buffalo New York, while shaking hands with attendees in the Temple of Music he was shot in the abdomen twice, 8 days later he died. Year 1920, Warren G Harding defeats James M Cox 404 to 127 a landslide victory. Three years into his term, he had medical complications in his cardiac plexus. Doctors had treated him with liquid caffeine and digitalis, he appeared to make a full recovery. Then, a few days later the curse finally took his life via a heart attack. Which was a great shock to the public. It's now year 1944, the Democrat candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt wins his 4th term in a row, and to this day is the only US President to have served more than two terms. April 12, 1945, 13 years into FDR's Presidency, he perishes shortly after complaining about a headache. His Cardiologist diagnosed it as a massive introcerebral hemorrhage. An interesting little fact is that William H Harrison died 31 days after being inaugurated, 31 and 13 are the same number flipped. It's now 1960, John F Kennedy defeats Richard M Nixon by a very narrow margin. Three years after his election on 22nd November 1963 the President was riding through Dealey Plaza in Dallas Texas in an open top car. JFK was shot in the head twice, 30 minutes later Kennedy died. President Kennedy was the sixth President to perish under Tenskwatah's curse. But would he be the last? 1980, Incumbent Jimmy Carter loses by a landslide to actor Ronald Reagan. Two months into Reagan's term, after giving a speech at the Washington Hilton Hotel returning to his limousine. Reagan was shot in the chest. The President was rushed to George Washington University Hospital. The internal injuries nearly killed the President, it appeared as though the curse was taking hold. But doctors stabilized the President, and he managed to serve out his term. Becoming the first US President to survive under the terms of Tenskwatah's incantation. Nancy Reagan was aware of the curse of Tippecanoe, and believed in astrology and psychics. And consulted an Astrologer as many Roman Emperors, and Greek Kings had once done. Therefore it seems possible that by reverse causality the First Lady's actions may have affected the curse(as she's the first person close to a President scheduled to die who took the curse seriously), taking away it's lethality, but not having destroyed the evidence of it entirely. It's also possible that the curse had run out of juice so to speak, or some combination thereof. 2000, George W Bush loses the popular vote by approximately half a million. It becomes official that Al Gore won the Electoral College and Popular vote. Afterward, it was determined officially that Bush won the tipping state of Florida by a meager 537 votes, making him the 43rd President of the United states with 271 electoral votes. In 2004, Bush is reelected. A year later, Bush is giving a speech in Freedom Square, Tbilisi Georgia. When he spoke, a soviet made RGD 5 hand grenade wrapped in a red tartan handkerchief was hurled at the podium. The grenade landed a mere 61 feet from the President. The pin was pulled, it was live it should have gone off and eviscerated President Bush, as the effective firing range maximum is 65 feet, 4 more than the grenade needs to be lethal. But the grenade failed to detonate because the handkerchief remained wrapped around the grenade and held the striker lever back from releasing. Vladimir Artyunian, the man who threw the grenade was captured, and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. So George W. Bush becomes the second US President to survive the Tippecanoe curse, and the 8th victim of it at the same time, just not to the point of death. Which engenders a certain higher level of certainty in Nancy Reagan's efforts. And supports the notion of reverse causality(as she intervened after her husband was shot). I have not taken the liberty to calculate the possibility that these events may be coincidental. Because my intuition tells me that the results would render the possibility of coincidence laughably unlikely. So my judgement is that Tenskwatawah, killed 7 US Presidents, severely injured President Reagan nearly to death, and almost blew up President Bush all in one sentence. And likely contributed to the now highly favorable circumstance Indian reservations find themselves in current day America(they're permitted to make their own laws, and collect their taxes independent of the Federal Government on what should be US soil if we were any traditional conquering country). Furthermore, I hope these historical events make it obvious to you, that Tenskwatawah, the Presidents he killed, and all the other people closely involved, as well as the decision to grant Native Americans their own micro countries in the US, that Tenskwatawah is the same as those Presidents, as the policy makers, as even the events themselves which I'm describing. Otherwise, how could he so precisely control such things? Unless you believe however improbably that it's all a giant cascade of coincidences. Due to my curiosity, I'm going to leave a poll on the above issue. And now to conclude I'll offer how I personally explain Tenskwatawah's exploit. Through empowerment of the Vishuddhi Chakra, it's possible to acquire something called Vak Siddhi. Which is basically something like Omnipotence, that seems to first manifest itself in the ability to control future events by describing the desired outcome. Now, I don't believe Tenskwatawah was some kind of Yogi who practiced a Sadhana for his Vishuddhi since he was an Indian. It seems more likely to me that either he was born with it, or he acquired it later in life by some other means. The most likely possibility(if he wasn't born significantly more powerful than ordinary mortals) in my speculation, would be that he likely obtained his power through ritual use of Datura, as that seems to be the only way Shamans from that part of the world development Omnipotence. However, and I say this now with the utmost seriousness, DO NOT EVER DO DATURA. These men have a highly specialized way of doing it, and oftentimes they've developed psychic abilities through other means beforehand(like remote viewing for example). And they use these abilities to determine exactly when to plant, and harvest, and also the exact time of administration, as well as which parts of the plant are to be administered. The Datura spirit is notoriously petty, and if you don't access her realms in precisely the way she wants you to. She'll destroy you, as her agenda is to kill her acolytes before they can learn anything from her. If you consume her seeds blindly as many foolish westerners have done. You'll only render yourself a paranoid schizophrenic at best, and at worst you'll somehow die(probably through suicide).
