  1. This is what interests me the most right now actually. I've become more interested in self-help recently.
  2. One of my favorite post rock albums from an Australian band.
  3. I seriously only think about money when I feel like I don't have enough. Otherwise money never crosses my mind. I have no desire to live extravagantly. In fact, I probably could pare down my life and reduce my expenses even more than I do.
  4. I don't see why anyone would need to do this more than once honestly. I smoked it didn't plug it to be clear and honest. I don't do plugging. I feel no need to do 5-MEO again. The Message was conveyed clearly the only time I did it. You need a Breakthru dose. I'm not an expert in psychedelics either. I don't even do psychedelics anymore.
  5. I use ChatGPT all the time to run things by. Sometimes it has a very stage yellow perspective that I really appreciate. I tell it to not BS me and give it to me straight to try to correct for bias. Most of the time I am impressed that it noticed some things I missed without the collaboration. It's a fine tool.
  6. Sort of true. But you can also cause someone to consider something new, to the extent that it is tolerated within a system.
  7. This is known as a closed system no? It's designed to be closed, by ignorance or motive to control mostly.
  8. Ok, so we can deconstruct, but when are we allowed to re-construct?
  9. Which is kinda of the Neo-Advaita focus on the idea that -- thought is false or misleading.
  10. What is a belief?
  11. This sounds like the Promise of Science almost.
  12. Is there a hard distinction between inquiry and fantasy?
  13. Absolute Love involves Feeling, and recognition of Unitive Relation IMO. Like Truth it's hard to point to in words.
  14. @Cred I agree with this 100%. Very well said. This is part of Beauty.
  15. Actually, the early actualized videos are some of the best self-help videos on YouTube. I don't see self-help as being opposed to spiritual enlightenment work. It depends on what is being created as Creation.
  16. A lot of people seem not to recognize Love. It's very rare in my experience.
  17. I agree. If I brought only that on 2 week solo retreat I would still probably find other things to do than read it. My tolerance for reading has gone down as I age.
