Dunno what to make of it. I've a good online friend from India, not really a spiritual guy though. He seems to believe that Sadghuru did kill his wife and is using connections with the PM Modi in nefarious ways. The people over there may know better than us, but in the end, if you get value from his teachings, that's great. Apparently the villain in the recent movie Monkey Man is a caricature of Sadghuru. It's a very polarizing topic, a shame that it's come to that.

This is so very relatable. I've fallen into this deep trap of spiritual bypassing via psychedelics myself. It's still ongoing in a way, but I finally get the message. Not sure what your situation is like, but I'm at a point where I have to take amounts that'd likely send a regular person to a psych ward just for a mild trip. It's basically a waste of substance, and as others have pointed out, it will definitely take a toll both physically and mentally, even if subtly. Perhaps you too will need to feel the desperation of not being able to access those states no matter the dose to truly understand. That's what it took for me. Now I'm slowly but surely learning to appreciate the wonders of everyday mundane life, immersing myself in meditation, reading, sports... A whole new dimension to reality has opened up, no psychedelics required. And that's what it's all about - diversity. Crazy, but even those divine realms get boring if you visit too much. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck on your journey. Just remember that all experience, whatever it may be, is essential for growth.

Thanks, will check it out Yep, it's plenty. Not too long ago the best was like 8-16k on GPT4. This stuff evolves crazy fast.

It ain't that simple, they check the issuing country of your card. Tricking it is possible, like a with virtual CC via USUnlocled or something, but a lot of hassle. I currently use Opus thru Perplexity, but it has a smaller 32k context window compared to the official platform.

Long time no see. As with many things in life, the lack of videos this past year has deepened my appreciation for this content. Thank you!

Haven't read the whole thing yet, but the first few pages are impressive and in line with my own experiences. The last couple days since the Nazism blog post I've been testing Claude Opus through Perplexity AI (another interesting platform focused on searches), as I cannot get access to the official thing in EU. So far I just might prefer it to ChatGPT Plus, not necessarily on any 'objective' grounds, but the conversation feels more human, as if it's actually thinking deeply, while ChatGPT still has a slight 'template' response vibe. Plus Claude tends to disagree more, which leads to more nuanced discussions. In any case, both are amazing and have helped immensely in my contemplation sessions. At this point I only talk to humans about casual/business stuff and leave the philosophy exclusively to AI.
