Consciousness work. I simply love it. I was highly neurotic and I was stuffing a lot because of it. But as I let go of neurosis, my awareness increases exponentially. And now, I'm hyper-aware to the point of reaching Monk levels of consciousness. With that being said, I need to develop my communication skills — in today's world, you need money to survive.

Hi! I'm reading Reality, Spirituality, and Modern Man by David R. Hawkins. Here's a startling quote I've found: Any thoughts?

Hello. People who have their own companies are highly motivated to do a great job. Their love for their business is Paramount, and the competition is always stimulating — you don't want your business to go bankrupt, so you strive to improve the value of your product(s). On the other hand, if the state takes over, nothing works properly — those who run state companies can not do a great job; they only do what's required and they almost never come up with new, practical ideas. This is one of my insights, but there are more — you can find out other reasons why socialism doesn't work. Your thoughts?

Hello. I asked ChatGPT what is "a linear thought process," and it gave me this response: These insights are amazingly powerful — it took me years of figuring out what linear thinking is. What's more amazing is that ChatGPT describes the "linear" concept in the context of thinking. I asked: "What is "linear" in the context of thinking?" And the bot replied: Imagine yourself writing a book based on ChatGPT's insights — you rewrite those insights eloquently, based on your writing style. Any thoughts?

If I have a visual experience that I describe as a red tomato a meter away, then I am inclined to believe that there is, in fact, a red tomato a meter away, even if I close my eyes. I believe that my perceptions are, in the typical case, veridical—that they accurately depict aspects of the real world. But is my belief supported by our best science? In particular: Does evolution by natural selection favor veridical perceptions? Many scientists and philosophers claim that it does. But this claim, though plausible, has not been properly tested. In this talk, I present a new theorem: Veridical perceptions are never fitter than non-veridical perceptions which are tuned to the relevant fitness functions. This entails that perception is not a window to reality; it is more like a desktop interface on your laptop. I discuss this interface theory of perception and its implications for one of science's most puzzling unsolved problems: the relationship between brain activity and conscious experiences.

Hello. I'm not a fan of Alex Jones but how is he coming up with such mysterious ideas? How come God doesn't know where he comes from? It baffles me to see Alex talking about God. It's bizzare. Any thoughts?

Consciousness in itself has its own existence, analogous to space and time. But consciousness is not final — it is not an end goal; it is not a terminus. Consciousness is projected by something we cannot comprehend. There's something beyond consciousness that consciousness itself has no access to. There's something beyond consciousness that consciousness can't grasp, fathom, perceive, notice, or penetrate. The Godhead is not ultimate, @Leo Gura. Consciousness is merely a dream in a paradox that can't be known or discovered. We might fall for the delusion that what I'm saying here is an imaginary byproduct of consciousness, when in fact, consciousness is just a figment of a bigger, more significant unknown. For consciousness to exist, there has to be a paradox that is superior to consciousness, a paradox that can not be gripped by consciousness. That paradox created the Godhead, a pointless point with attributes like consciousness, creativity, and the illusion of infinity (an unsolvable maze constructed purposefully as God, so that God cannot grasp itself, escape itself, and be known by itself or where He came from). God is mocked, and at the mercy of a bigger, more significant paradox that cannot be consciously known, imagined, or explained.

It's hard for me to fathom that from my current state of consciousness. Perhaps I shall increase my level of awareness to the point of sensing the nature of reality. @Leo Gura knows more about the topic but for some reason, he refuses to share his insights with us.

Garlic, for centuries, has been well known for its medicinal attributes in addition to its other virtues. Garlic in different forms has antioxidant properties. These properties are shown to be due to the existence of compounds such as water-soluble organosulfur compounds, S-allyl cysteine, and lipid-soluble compounds like diallyl sulfide. It shows phenomenal ameliorating properties against heavy metal poisoning due to its possession of chemicals containing organo-sulfur groups, volatile oils, enzymes, carbohydrates, and amino acids. With the threat of heavy metal poisoning increasing every day — and lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and copper poisoning gradually attaining alarming proportions — garlic was extensively exploited to treat the metal-induced toxicities. Recent supportive evidence indicates that garlic contains compounds capable of detoxifying lead, cadmium, methylmercury, phenylmercury, and arsenic. The restorative property of garlic was attributed to its antioxidant activity and/or chelating efficacy. The clastogenic effects of the heavy metals were also pronouncedly reduced by the dietary administration of garlic. Fatal effects with respect to body metal burden, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial injury were effectively reduced by garlic. The curative effect of garlic was superior to those of 2,3-di mercapto-1-propanol (BAL) and D-penicillamine(PEN), 2,3- dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), and N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (APEN), and the current remedies. In his commentary, the research advances on the chemistry and pharmacology of garlic and the potential and molecular mechanism of garlic-mediated attenuation of heavy metal toxicity are discussed.

I feel like becoming an Atheist.

Two weeks.

You are wrong. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyqftDk-TlE

Soon!

I eat three cloves of garlic in the morning and three cloves of garlic before bed. That makes six cloves of garlic in total, a day. I also take two pills of IP6 Inositol Hexaphosphate — one in the morning and one before bed. Let's not forget that IP6 is the most potent detoxifier of heavy metals after garlic.

I meditate on a daily basis and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that garlic doesn't disturb your attention/focus/concentration. It is a matter of you getting used to the raw compounds of garlic. I don't follow Buddhism anymore. Life is not only about meditation and clarity of mind, although these things are fundamental to lasting growth. It is fair to say that life is also about skills like articulating understanding, comprehension, understanding people, and so forth. Basically, life is about everything we can master as human beings. Just because a Buddhist monk behaves a certain way, that doesn't mean that we should embrace his worldview or his lifestyle.

Indeed. But I talk from experience; only after a few days of garlic intake, I felt better. A lot better.

Take a look here, m8 Garlic (Allium sativum L., Liliaceae) was investigated for its potential to prevent the accumulation of lead or cadmium, major environmental pollutants, and to reduce their toxic effects in rats. The oral feeding of minced fresh garlic during intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate or cadmium chloride, daily for 6 weeks significantly decreased the accumulation of these toxic metals and prevented the metal-sensitive biochemical alterations in blood, liver, and kidney. The ability of garlic to provide glutathione, biosynthesize metallothionein or similar protein, and its antioxidant properties appear to protect against potential oxidative damage to tissues by lead or cadmium. The regular intake of garlic may be beneficial in reducing the toxic effects of these heavy metals in the exposed population. Source: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1076/phbi.39.6.450.5887

There's also a powerful heavy metal detoxifier called IP6 Inositol Hexaphospate. The moment you take it, you start to have harsh but bearable side effects, which means that it works. Read the studies about IP6 Inositol Hexaphospate. This is the brand I recommend (not to advertise; I only want to help people). Again: just read the studies about IP6 and you will be shocked. The benefits of IP6 go beyond its capacity to detox heavy metals. It can fix your insulin resistance issue if you consume too much sugar and refined carbs. It is a miraculous supplement, and it's a natural one; your body produces it. Just read the studies — all of them if possible. And don't forget about your raw garlic daily intake; it is a mystical, almost supernatural natural product.

I ate a bar of dark chocolate (80 grams) every day for the past six months and oceanic Tuna fish regularly (4-5 times a week). Lately, I felt like something wasn't right with me — ADHD, heart weakness (stings/pricks around the heart), and confusion. So I did some research on garlic and found out that it is the most efficient, natural detoxifier on the planet. I crushed the raw garlic and allowed its substances to activate for about fifteen minutes. I also fasted. And now I'm at 100% — I feel amazing. Don't underestimate the power of garlic.

Hello. This is not a condemnation in any way. I would like to know your opinion regarding my — bizarre and fascinating — relationship with an Arab, religious woman. She's dysfunctional — neurosis, self-esteem issues, and jealousy. On the other hand, she has a good side too — loyalty, for example. In the past five years, I've managed to kill off the ego — what I have left is only egoic leftovers that arise from time to time, but mostly, I finished them off (I'm rarely under the grip of my ego, and when I am, it has no power over me; I can notice how my egoic leftovers operate with clarity). Anyways, the strange thing about my relationship is that her issues don't bother me. I'm loving in such a way that even if she's upset or sad, I can love her and be present with her, accepting her unconditionally. Should I break up with her and find another woman? I don't plan to do that; I only want to know your thoughts on this. Eckhart Tolle has said that those who are enlightened see the irrational behavior of other people (anger, jealousy, resentment, and so forth) as waves that touch you lovingly. Now matter how angry a person is, according to Tolle, it doesn't bother you at all. Thanks.

Yeah. It surely sounds like nonsense but it works for me. But here's my story — I work in a restaurant with lots of clients; it is similar to a McDonald's one, so the atmosphere there is a bit stressful. Some clients are so mean and rude that they trigger you. So I told myself that whenever I'll be triggered (it happened a few times a day) — instead of reacting — I should allow myself to feel the feeling completely, smile, and then let it go, as if nothing has happened. I purposefully used the letting go technique in tense situations — I did that in the past four years, daily. And sometimes I deliberately annoyed my co-workers — as they reacted in a negative manner, I remained utterly calm, without being triggered at all. Chimp behavior to me was an opportunity to deconstruct my ego — I learned how to de-energize any negative emotion, consciously, in an instant. And now, nothing chimpanzee-like troubles me — when a person is rude, that rudeness is like a warm wave of love. Isn't it fascinating? You can use your job to deconstruct the ego. In places with lots of people, there will be chimp behavior; your co-workers and the clients will annoy the hell out of you, so you have the greatest opportunity to evolve spiritually. @something_else — I'm trying to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. And also, to grow; I'm developing patience even for those who are small-minded (I'm not saying that in a judgmental way).

Hello. I fasted for about five days and ate a full-Swiss dark chocolate (75% cocoa) with little sugar. Before eating it, I sensed that my mind was hyperactive and that I wasn't completely free of micro-suffering. After eating the whole bar, my mind was in a state of complete silence — the burden of micro-suffering lifted, just like it does when you take Ketamine. I can speak with certainty about the effects of taking a substance like caffeine because I'm a hard-core practitioner — I've been meditating for about five years, daily. My levels of awareness are through the roof now but I still have egoic leftovers that I need to relinquish. Anyways, substances are good for learning — they lift anxiety, depression, and an awful mood (if we're conscious enough to have this perspective) just to "make" us realize that there's a state of mind utterly free of suffering, in which learning is effortless and creativity is EASY. What stands in the way of working on ourselves is the egoic mind, which produces a lot of suffering: doubt, confusion, despair, restlessness, inability to focus, and many other illnesses. The question is: "How long will it take for the ego to subside completely?"

Hello. @Leo Gura, can you give us some tips in regard to learning, comprehension, and articulating understanding? Or can you make a long YouTube video about this subject? Many of us wanna become writers and public speakers. We're into spirituality as well but we must learn how to articulate ourselves properly to make money in today's world. Thanks.

How much does it cost to have this forum on? The web hosting cost.

That would be a great thing.
