@Leo Gura Have you contemplated marketing as a subtle form of theft? You were in the industry so you should know better than me. Marketing steals your time, attention and decision-freedom. It is a crime to the sovereignity of every self, as they try to manipulate you, take away your money and indoctrinate you with subconscious values for their best interests.

You've talked about this several times. Maybe it's over, for the moment. Have you tried Ketamine? Give it a lost shot before taking the most logical and self-loving decision, which is to let them go.

Yes, mostly by becoming more conscious you lose the numbness of perception. With heightened perception/awareness comes higher sensitivity to drugs. It's about your baseline state and your precision about changes in it: if you have an imprecise ruler, 2cm more or less isn't that much noticeable, if you have a Laser Distance Meter which is precise up to milimetres, then it is.

The classic reductionism The very first people that want to point the traps and limitations of language are the ones that most entangle themselves in the mess of words. Don't overcomplicate the already messy. Consciousness is happening, I'm gonna just stare to it like it's a pussy

@Kuba Powiertowski My life purpouse is: Thrive as a human & Awaken as God In more detail you can read my signature: I think it's not that hard to realize God Consciousness, you just need to really want it. Do all spiritual practices and stay with the ones that work for you. Do a shit tone of 5meo. There you have it. Why no body does it? Just throw yourself in the pursuit of Truth like a maniac

Like water manifesting states: ice, liquid, gaseous... One of the biggest shifts in my perception happened when I realized reality is not made of atoms or anything material but that is made out of Pure Consciousness and Consciousness is a sentient Infinite Mind which is intelligence and runs itself in jaw breaking perfection.

Lmao, that's literally the heart of my meditation practice. Tip for hindrances: If distractions arise, it’s because I’ve lost awareness of my breath. Closing: Invocation of Gurus and cardinal energetic points inside and outside the body. Blessings and last soaking in the Omnipresence of God. Go about my day as Awake as possible

I liked Boston

I feel amazed about what can be done in consciousness and how little has been shared. I almost feel compelled to start some kind of public communications by this point. It feels like a universal duty. I still consider myself in an embryonic stage of my Awakening possibilities yet whoever I talk with and the spiritual field of all ages, I rarely find some expression that I say: I have not Awaken to that. I do have a private club of what I consider my Gurus, rare almost unheard and all deceased but two. I hope to meet them before death happens. As the saying goes, as crazy as you are don't worry there'll always be someone crazier than you.

Yes, I've been there Consciousness is literally nothing That's what it is Only nothing can be everything We're on the same page in that It is no ordinary perception or consciousness indeed Consciousness is what you're pointing but you haven't recognised it as such Nothing is still alive, it exists as nothing Existence is Consciousness The Absolute is Consciousness even if you're "unaware of it" That doesn't make it less or more Consciousness, it makes it unconscious, or in other words, it exists as unconsciousness Different gradiations of consciousness, expressions of it Whatever you're calling Absolute I call it Consciousness What you are calling consciousness I would rather call it awareness There's just One Substances in the Cosmos It's Conciousness This experience that is happening is Pure Consciousness like everything that could ever be I'm floating in a chair of Consciousness I'm writing in consciousness about Consciousness I'm consciously communicating with consciousness Consciousness is the Absolute, is Infinity, is Love, is Truth, is God, is Perfection, is Nothing, is Everything, is Alive, is ShapeShifting, is Omnipresent, is Omniscient, is Omnipotent, is limited, is bounded, is a Field, is beingness, is Awake, is deluded, is first person, second person, third person, is REALITY, is now, is total; it's always already the case

@Breakingthewall I agree with all that you say but your understanding of Consciousness. In my Awakenings it has been revealed beyond doubt that Consciouness is the One Infinite Reality which is God, sentient, perfect: a Field with no boundaries that contains all possible limitations and permutations. I agree with your stated mechanics but I cannot betray the Divine Infinite Field of Consciousness that IS all this modes and possible experiences. From which I try to attain the most autoconscious ones, the best possible configurations so to speak, that maximize what I consider to be the calling of existence itself.

@Breakingthewall You must distinguish between Consciousness and autoconsciousness. You are confusing autoconsciousness with Consciousness. Everything is Consciousness but not all of it is autoconscious or consciousness shining in consciousness, so to speak. It's multilevel consciousness. Otherwise, please tell me what is beyond Consciousness/Existence? Exactly what I'm trying to say. So in this sense we can say autoconsciousness or itself consciousness is a most perfect state but Consciousness itself is indeed Infinite and all encompasing beyond awareness.

It really is interesting to be exposed to this material At some point I'll have to watch some on 5meo to lose that distance and comfort of being in my home watching someone being murdered but literally dying with the experience, immersing myself and refining my decision making/understanding.

Poetry! Funny Ralston was in that exact same situation a year ago, King of his own world of what thought possible. Bottomline, Consciousness can always be more Awake and Infinite as well as more limited and deluded, such is the nature of Reality and the Omnipotent Mind of God. Interested to check that out

I don't trip like I bench press. It's a joy and a lifestyle. I have no goal but to enjoy the journey. In my mind, if you're thinking about hitting a certain number it's the wrong approach. Do it because you love it. Although it's clear that there are important Awakenings that only happen as you get more trips under your belt. It's called tripping for a reason, the more you trip the further you travel.

It's a hard question to answer, as many factors come into play. If there is a tailored program for policing, meaning you do a state funded project to identify the needs of the police department with the existing martial arts training and the military, it can be done in 6 months via 4 trainings a week. However, if that doesn't happen and they don't wanna take responsability for making that program but take already existing martial arts systems. My advice would be purple jiu-jitsu belt which depends on the person but roughly it takes about 5 years to acquire. So yeah a major drawback in time, becaue jiu-jitsu does take time to build up the skills enough to translate them into the policing domain. Blue belt may be enough but with a bigger stronger crazier opponent you're still doomed. Purple belt is very solid and in the policing domain you'll be able to takedown and keep ground control of almost all oponents. The problem with the non-tailored-program approach is that you'll be learning lots of useful stuff that won't apply for your job and that takes quite some time away. Edit afterthoughts: I've been contemplating it and around 2 and a half years of MMA would be more than enough as well but it's injure prone and honestly I wouldn't like police officers to be trained in such a way. It's too deadly and complete, you can really hurt citizens with those skills. Jiu-jitsu is safer and effective with great values and a nice sense of community. So my recommendation still holds but regarding training time and already existing systems, MMA would be most effective for policing uncooperative criminals.

Merry Christmas!!! I was going to make a thread and was delighted to see one already! Lots of love family❤️❤️❤️ Actualized.org keeps being an amazing place

Police officers should get racing experience

I assume cops in the US have better shooting skills. Here in Barcelona when we had the yihadist attacks there was a big scandal, as many officers were firing for the first time after many years and just couldn't shoot down the terrorists.

They way I frame it is like training mathematicians to use calculators. Sure there has to be an investment and a period of learning but then the task at hand becomes much more efficient. It is neccessary for their job to know that skills. Again, not all martial arts translate well into policing, as we've discussed earlier. I just focus on two facets: takedowns and groundcontrol. Please tell me with a straight face how come a police officer doesn't have competence in these two skills. The martial systems that have trained those facets in more depth are wrestling, judo and jiu-jitsu. My point is to make cops have the first or second belt at least or otherwise make specific training camps for policing. In the same way it is done in the military world, where they cherry pick the needed skills from martial arts for their particular needs and make a million dollar program out of them. Just a similar, more realistic version of that for cops. A solid training camp and maybe the condition of earning the belt before X years of working as an officer, to make it more accesible. I understand that, it is a very legit point. Again, it's not bulletproof, in fact I build upon what you say as an argument to further promote martial training. If it is more chaotic and involves many more variables than martial arts, how come cops are not even trained in basic martial arts scenarios? It's like saying no need for you to learn how to light a BBQ because in the woods it's gonna be very very different, don't you see? Well I say, if you haven't even been trained to light a BBQ how on earth are you gona thrive in the woods? I did with the 3 videos I posted but here you have more to build background. Why Police Officers Should Learn Jiu Jitsu Why BJJ Is So Important For Police Officers & Great Technique For Police Officers by Nick Pollaro Most police officers end up gravitating towards jiu-jitsu but in my opinion it takes time to translate those skills into policing (2 years aprox). As jiu-jitsu is probably 70% grappling and 30% wrestling and you do need that wrestling in the beginning for being a cop. I assume wrestling does translate very well but is unpopular and physically demanding. So as an MMA practitioner, if I would be setting a police training camp I would start with wrestling experience, just hands on playing and making them try what works and what doesn't, and afterwards teaching them basic takedowns like double and single leg. Then Jiu-jitsu techniques for ground control and the dirty fights that happen on the floor. Lastly I would do some judo throws in case they are against bigger opponents, as a developmental focus in judo is to use the force and momentum of a bigger opponent against itself, so I believe that would be useful once the basics are covered. These are my fancy ideas but they also come from experience and from understanding the needs of police officers and their modus operandi. If I would be defending myself in the street my approach would be dramatically different, I would never wrestle or go to the ground. Cops play in pack and have guns. I would throw a boxing combination and get myself quickly out of there. This is to say that I carefully consider all that I learnt from MMA and many martial arts I've practiced over the years (taekwondo, judo, jiu-jitsu, boxing) for the needs at hand. Whether it is self defence or the martial training cops need to skilfully perform their job. Touche Zero first hand Experience in Policing Decent Experience in Martial Arts So it all boils down to how much we don't know

@Leo Gura You maybe should have this conversation with Ralston. How much experience do you have in martial arts? Maybe I'm wrong and you do have experience, but it seems to me your last blog quote can be very well applied to your position here. Undermining the necessary role of martial arts like wrestling and jiu-jitsu for policing. For anyone trained feels very cringe the way some cops are handling these situations: physically ineficient and unprofessional. Just medium level wrestling, judo or jiu-jitsu and two officers would have handcuffed that black beast, I'm telling you. On the other hand, you can see police officers with solid martial training and how well they handle these situations. Imo, I cannot comprehend how martial arts are not a compulsory skill to become a cop, in the same way it is demanded for the military. It does make sense because they have different priorities like de-escalation but they should be professionals in takedowns and ground control at least. Here is a little extract of the martial arts training you receive to become a soldier in the US: Otherwise nevermind, it's just my perspective. I don't wanna feed this too much. I just feel like you may be wrong and as that doesn't happen very often I wanna make you conscious of that.

This is huge and hardly even mentioned. At one point this became so obvious to me that I decided to do kundalini to train my nervous systems for psychedelic energetic floods. Martial arts really build a foundation for trips, both biologically and psychologically. Something to consider strongly, it was the biggest bottleneck for me and it can be for many others as well. Ironically, you ability to go high is affected by your ability to go wide and stable with your regular spiritual practices.
