Like I said, the whole system is corrupt, so he is corrupt, as they all are, just pick the one You wanted to be President, they are corrupt too and do "backroom" deals, which have to be done anyways, You can't function in the public all the time otherwise the enemy will know Your every move lol... They can't have total transparency, but I think they are trying, time will tell...

How so, because he hallucinated and had a temporary Experience??? Where is that Experience now, or in a week? He's already planning another trip to do what if he is GOD, then why trip again??

The "Dream" is that the truth lies in something OUTSIDE of You, in a pill, drug or plant, but the Experience is only inside of You, and Yes there is YOU, but its not the Body or Mind necessarily, its only Embodied in the Body which is the meaning of Embodiment... And the language is wrong, if he had no education or learning of the Word GOD, he would use it, he would just say he felt Great or Love or Oneness,,with using the word GOD, its enhances the Ego, because now he thinks he created everything, everything is imagined or unreal, and nothing matters, but when he has to eat or take a shit and can't then we will see, he will not do my test because it will dispel the trap he is falling into, sad indeed!!

This is not about Trump, but You make it about Trump or about Personalities such as always mentioning Sadhguru, but why not mention Yourself, but who are You anyways, just someone posting opinions on forums no one reads, at the least Trump and Sadhguru have a word to say that has some credibility whereas as You have none!!

No they are not, this idea that if their democracy, if you want to call it that, fails that it fails everywhere is not true.. Democracy is already failing everywhere, all the systems we have in place have already failed, most of the masses are suffering in various ways, yes Canada is a rich and wealthy country but tons and tons of ppl are suffering, I see it everyday, its just different than in poorer countries, so all the systems, Political, Economic, Education, Military and such are already failing.. Why we are supporting Ukraine as much as we have, yes we have to support them but not in the Billions of $$ that we need here to fix our own problems, is beyond Me other than Canada has the largest Ukrainian community outside of Ukraine I believe... but the idea that we have to save them to save democracy is a fallacy!

The Good things about Trump is You know what he is thinking exactly pretty well, the others, most Politicans say one thing but think and do another thing, so they work undercover, with Trump it seems to be an open book, so then You know what to expect in some ways with Him.. He wants America to be Great Again, via his vision of it, more jobs, more manufacturing, everyone around the world building things there, and to expand the USA via acquisition of other countries like here Canada, giving US more resources, more security more land, which will cement his legacy and US power structure... Of course he is corrupt, but all Politicians are corrupt, since the systems are corrupt and don't work anymore for the masses generally, we will see if it does using Trumps ways, as a Canadian I don't mind my Money becoming US $$, that is better for me and everyone, and we would have more access to different places to work and live (realestate here in Canada is too expensive and there is not enough for the ppl here), whereas in the States its much cheaper and same quality and more variety there...overall I think we should have it set up were we have One Currency, free trade and travel and living/working conditions btwn our countries...better overall for everyone. Medical here is free yes, but the quality is low, wait times get longer and longer (20hrs now wait times for an avg Emergency room visit), lack of specialists, and burnout from the medical staff here, so it takes away the advantages of "Free Healthcare" here for what they available in the US!!

It is not necessarily all Mind, unless I am not understanding what You mean by "Mind". Its Karma, and Unconsciousness of this Karma. Karma means Action, and the previous Actions You have taken have lead You up to where You are Now, how You are Experiencing Life and the consequences of all of that.. Action is in 4 areas, Body, Mind, Emotion and Energy, how conscious are You of all the actions taking place in all of these areas all of the time? Most of Us, most ppl are less than 1% Aware of all the actions taking place in these areas, hence Unconsciousness exists for the most part in ppl's lives, they are living by Accident, not via Purpose or Clarity, so therefore Suffering (Addiction is a form of Suffering) is the result...

There is no I or My in GOD, that is the first mistake, when You say these things above remove I and My from the sentence. When You use I and My then that is Ego and that is the trap... The other trap is the Absolutists outlook, I (ego) invented everything (more ego), there is no physics or government or society or Me (narcissistic in nature saying these things), and Consciousness has no ground (yes true but not here when Your Embodied and have this Body and Mind and others to deal with).. As an experiment, don't eat or shit for a week, tells us the results...:)

I didn't say the tools don't matter, I said the identification with them is the problem, they are just tools, when You don't need them drop them, will You drop the drugs??? We'll see, time will tell, Karma for You will play out, good luck:)

Sadhana is not limited, what everyone is saying around here about their "Grand Experiences" via drugs is what I've heard others say when doing serious Sadhana, and from my own Experiences... its just you have probably been doing it alone, not via a Guru or Mentor, someone further down the path than You, and hence made allot of mistakes and zig zags along the way, so it didn't work out well for You, just saying...

Yes and No, not higher up drugs like 5 meo, and I would like to one day try it out, not saying they are completely useless, just doing for complete knowing it is, but it has it use... Eastern Methods in my research are the best approach, time proven, work for everyone, and most safe and effective...

Not really. First there is Sadhana, not Meditation, as that word has to many implications... The trap is thinking any tool (drugs, sadhana, cars, phones, etc) is what the reality is, this is not so, ppl get into the tools, they think look I am meditating, in my lotus position with beeds on, this is the trap, the practices sadhana is just a tool, first You don't think of GOD, Absolute, Brahman, You go for Peace, I just want to be at Peace within no matter what, then go for more...so its a step by step... The Drugs are too fast, too quick, and You didn't earn it, You just got it for free, its the biggest trap if You plan on doing it regularly for Spiritual insight, it won't work..just see the Ego's around here and the Identification patterns going on by Leo and others...

See already planning the "Next Trip", if Your GOD why trip at all!! Just reread what I posted, Your falling into a trap!!!!

It did not seem so via Your previous posts, first saying Meditation was useless, now Your saying is of Use, and other such posts, they were erratic.. As well You just had the experience, how do You know it will be staying with You, as I said I predict You will be here in two weeks asking questions.. Now don't get me wrong, I it good that You got a peek at Absolute, God, Brahman, and I'm glad You did, now lets see what happens, what is the Karma created from that, is it empowering or disempowering, in the end only YOU can know what the answers to that Is!!

Low, High are just descriptive words, what is going on here is low Consciousness as a subject matter, and since we are so Intellect Identified as well, it leads to more suffering since Intellect divides and separates, hence low/high, good/bad, right/wrong.. I'm only attached to Life, while here and Embodied, I have my Karma to deal with, it has causes and effects, but I see it being played out which is an Awareness of sorts, the higher the Awareness/Consciousness the less effect, the Lower it is the more effect the Karma has, so as Embodied Life I want Higher Consciousness...

Thanks! Yes I agree, if You really are this GOD, to whom are You sharing it with? Other GODS? Where does Other come from when all if One and Inclusive?? So its still Ego and not the Reality when its done via these ways, using drugs and such.. Maybe what happened in his experience and when others that do these things, they are taking a peak over the fence of what it is like to witness GODLINESS, like being from a very poor family and going to a rich neighborhood and seeing for the first time big mansions and nice cars and such, if blows ppl minds that others live this way, its the same here, one has to know the persons baseline Consciousness or Experience of Reality, then relate it to their experience while high on the drug and then know what it is, we cannot do that looking from the outside in!!

Addiction is just needing something (non essential) that is outside of You to fulfill some sort of need within You... Most Addiction as we know it today, alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex/gambling, etc, is to either numb You from pain, or seeking a hit of pleasure or dopamine and such. The essential nature here is that Your low in Awareness or Consciousness, in that You seek outside stimuli to produce an experience within You, when in all Possibility You can do if Yourself naturally, with no need for a outside stimuli, so the higher in Consciousness/Awareness You are the more this comes into play in Your life. Do I like a self starting car or a crank wheel or push start car, You choose, right now in life ppl are choosing the push or crank starting car as a metaphor.. The Cure for Addiction is just to get to a base level of Consciousness, where Your Peaceful of Your Own Nature, no matter what is going on around You, then You have Clarity of Vision, can see Reality as it Is, not as You think or want it to be which is imaginary or maya at play...

Watched the exchange, its unfortunate for all parties that it went in that Direction, but it seems Ukraine sees the US and Canada and other countries as Banks, they just want more from Us to continue the way things are which is disempowering for all of the Ukraine and Russia and all of Us, war hurts all of Us... If the USA was in Ukraine to access its mineral deposits, US companies, ppl, workers, equipment and investment, that is the security guarantee, if Russia attacked and killed or destroyed US stuff then what do You think would happen?? This is not about Trump, those that say those things just hate Trump and are too identified with that Hate, it blinds them.. Its about stopping the war, Putin won't challenge the US when they are this way, if they have an investment there they will protect it, and Putin won't challenge that...simple stuff! Ukraine is done now...

@r0ckyreed You didn't realize You were God, You realized existence is all One.. and it was because an external substance, and the experience is now gone once the effect wares off.. To know You are GOD, is permanent Experience.. in 2 weeks You will be here asking more questions, if You are GOD why the need to ask questions...and will take the substance again to recreate the experience..soon after that it will need to be more frequent and at higher dosages, this leads to you know what! Get there naturally via proven methods, not on/off methods because with on/off methods You will crave the experience, not the reality.. With natural methods, You get there without going down or off, much better for You...

Your not defining Spirituality correctly... As You say most humans just want to be living fulfilling, comfortable lives, this is Spirituality! Spirituality means living to a higher Possibility/Potential than You are right now.. People want what they are lacking in, if You lack in Money, You want Money, if You lack in Love you want Love, if You lack in Intelligence You want to be Smart and so on, that is Desire, Desire is being more than what You are right now, Desire is in all Living Things, all Living Things want to be at their peak, the plant, the insect, the animal, and especially the Human Being, Meditation is not Spirituality, Mantra is not Spirituality, Prayer is not Spirituality, Temples are not Spirituality, these things are just tools, like Your Car, Your Phone, Your Money, your Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth, just use them and discard them when not needed.. The Problem here is identifying with the Tool and not what the Reality is, Spirituality is just Being More than what You Are Right NOW, and when You get to be more then guess what You will still want to be More.. When You get to be Peaceful of Your Own nature, You want to be Happy Now, and when Happy naturallly everyday, You then want to be Loving, then on to Joy, then onto Bliss, the onto Ecstasy!! So don't misdefine Spirituality to be tools, it is none of those...

This is a good point.. Ppl in the Spiritual community especially around here only Use the word "God" because it brings about a higher sense of Ego, it makes them feel more Grand, which basically means "I am above You and all others".. God is just a concept, you learned it along the way in life, and no matter how You individually define it, overall generally it means domain Over Others, all knowing, all powerful and such themes, so its clearly Egoic boarding on Narcissistic.. If God means nothing then say I am nothing, but they won't because that means nothing and makes them feel less than.. its so simple!

Why would You say I am scared of it, I just spelled the world and used it in what I was saying? Ego generally speaking is dis empowering, due to false self and identity with it, since the majority of ppl are unconscious in nature.. so getting more involved with ego for most is not good...hence for most stating "I am God" is no good... As well Shiva/Brahman/Absolute is not "Nothing", its all Potential, all Possibility, that is something...

No, first there should be NO statement that "I" am God, just BE in the world and ppl will make up their minds about what You are, You will already know what You are, so there is no decision being made.. As soon as there is a statement or saying then there is EGO, which is not It or what is implied by Being Godliness or Divinity...

For certain crimes yes death penalty is needed imo... Its not just a deterrent, because the ppl that do crazy don't react to deterrents, but we don't need them within a society..Killing innocents, yes this ceo was an innocent, he maybe or maybe not did some bad things, made choices that hurt others, but that is due to a corrupt system, he's just playing the system, the individuals that are rich or powerful are just doing more survival and making decisions, if it hurts You or Your jealous then get rich or powerful and then its done, don't complain against them.. for sure they will want to secure their positions in the world, just as You would do in their shoes and are doing when not rich or powerful, you want to secure Your position as well, so its the same game being played on both sides.. Nothing will change unless we change the systems so the masses benefit, until that happens we have to play the game as Consciously as we can, which means its not all about just Me, we need to bring or help as many as we can along the way!

How You Respond to Situations is entirely Your Choice!! How You are responding is Conscious Action, all we can do as Human Beings is BE and ACT either Unconsciously or Consciously, the difference btwn these two is Enormous!! When Your Blissful or Peaceful at the min of Your own Nature, then everything about You is Enhanced! Your Intelligence, Clarity, Creativity, Energy Levels, Resourcefulness, etc, all if it is Enhanced when Your At Peace within no matter what is going on around You. Stress Response is the opposite of this, the situation is Bad, then you Stress about it, that makes things worse, as is Ego Identification with whatever is going on around You, either or will kill any possibility of Consciousness being a reality in Your Life.. So Choose how to be, whatever You think if the most Empowering for You, then be the light You want to see in the World, that is all You can Do, then Die Blissfully!!!
