Not so fast. Conservatives do have legitimacy in striking a balance in society. If we had LSD for All, I don’t think you’d be in favor of that, as beautiful as it sounds on paper.

Yes, there will be contradictions depending on who you ask.

As a long term medical cannabis user, I feel I am an “expert” in this field and agree!

Here is metaphorical example of how a different kind of Consciousness can be expressed.

Why not! I find that weed makes me more sensitive to my body overall, so mixing it with yoga sounds extremely relaxing.

Makes sense. This song got me thru difficult times back in the day!

The irony is that the immensity you refer to can be sourced from what we overlook as ordinary.

Reminds me of the paradox regarding suicide. For example, in my religious upbringing we were taught that suicide is sinful, so we never discussed about it openly. But from a mental health perspective, it is healthy to discuss suicide instead of avoiding it. So yeah, you don’t understand suffering by avoiding suffering.

Actually, other is identical to God, as trippy as that sounds. Indeed. Suffering is Love, and I long for negative feelings and emotions to be integrated with the positive. Suffering doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom.

@Consept Bingo. Imagine someone authentically and willingly open to sharing intimate parts of themselves, all while never being coerced into it. Not by foolish accident, but because of an intuitive trust you’ve developed with them.

@Inliytened1 The catalyst is deep longing for understanding what Truth is, no matter the cost. Just like they say, love is priceless

Seems is nicely put here. Yes, the outside appears to be a certain way, but that’s relative to what’s going on inside, since the inside and outside are One. Imagine if all you knew was 240p video being very beautiful, yet there is clearly 4K HD and beyond. You’re simply not aware of it right now.

More accurately, Consciousness does

Our job isn’t to awaken them, but to see simply see them as Consciousness itself. I also notice that this is the limitation with many non-duality teachings… they emphasize rejecting the ego and mind. Now.., I see why they hammer that point to new students, because the identification with those is extremely intimate. So creating some distance from them is critical. Keep in mind, since all of THIS is Consciousness, everything I just said is Truth, despite using your Mind and Ego to interpret what I just said / read / written Again - Thank YOU!

Thank you for being open regarding suffering. This made me realize how much I’ve overcome, and I appreciate more the divine intelligence at work here! So, without further ado, here’s my own experiences regarding suffering: I am familiar with suffering. Doctors told my mom I wasn’t even supposed to be born, but that obviously was proven wrong. However, my birth did come with complications. For example, I’ve had many medical conditions growing up, such as severe eczema and allergies. That took over a decade to overcome. I’ve also had to trial dozens of conventional medications for mental health conditions, yet none of them ever worked in the long-term. So I finally said to hell with it and slowly started transitioning to healing in alternative ways (e.g. leaving religion, meditation retreats, psychedelic therapy, exploring my gender and sexuality in unconventional, yet authentic ways, etc.). In conclusion, my childhood and young adult years were extremely difficult, but I was able to overcome those insane challenges. Suffering in my life isn’t 100% gone, but it also doesn’t need to be. I continue to make great improvements to this day… slowly, but surely. (I am also aware that I imagined this Perfectly, despite all the apparent mistakes and impurities..!)

That day won’t come until the left and the right start holding hands.

My credit card has nothing but debt. Time to start working.

Naw, that’s just called Awakening. Yes, explosions are still possible as well.

How come?

@k-ahmadzadeh I know people who are living a better life in their 60s than they did in their 30s. And people in their 30s who say they live a better life compared to their 20s. It depends on your unique situation.

Would you consider Trump to have authoritarian qualities?

Lol, this song almost killed Weezer’s musical career:

Aren’t scientists and politicians who are pro-vaccine and push for every single person to get the vaccine also deluded?

Death, hell, and solipsism are pretty popular topics on this forum. I wonder why?
