    Good work by Abby Martin.

     

    Hypocritical nationalism at its finest.

    Two words: greed and fear.

    Its appalling how destructive America’s campaigns have been (especially Trumps). They’ve simply strong armed the Afghanistan into a submission which allows the US to over extend its power. 

    The irony is, all this disruption to the Afghanistan only further effects international development. The more the these countries are repressed the more they suffer and the weight is taxed on the rest of the globe.

    There are simply too many different variations of intelligence to say that there is a lack of it that is causing poor people not to be able to rise up, what the actual problem is is that we have a society that only caters to certain personality types and that we don't have a place for different people in society.  

    This is true. Many whom have no point of leverage to represent them self appear far less competent than they actually are. It’s not that poor people are un-intelligent as a general statement. It’s that many do not have the resources available to exhibit it. Of course, there are many who are deluded and toxic. However, a far majority of the issues surrounding poor people and their level of competency is due to the way in which society is structured.

    Again, you have no idea about the poor. You lack perspective and are arguing with me.

    I have lived in India and the villagers are NOT, let me say it again, NOT spiritually inclined. They know nothing about the news let alone politics, they vote for the most conservative candidate possible.

    You use the term “poor” far too loosely.

    I feel the problem here is to use a western lens to understand a non western locality.

    Of course they know nothing about the news and politics, the country is underdeveloped in many areas.  That’s not what we were discussing. Spirituality is more integral to the Indian culture. Don’t assume the rich in India are sitting there being mystics. It’s often those who live conservatively.

    I think this is far more complex than simplistic categories.

    You’re calling a virgin an ascetic.

    Just because you can’t find sex doesn’t mean you’re not horny, it actually makes you more horny than the man who has plenty of sex.

    Rich person is one who has their material needs met. The poor wish they were rich.

    That’s a false equivalency. You are conflating my point. I feel you have a very myopic view of survival. One does not simply become rich and simultaneously contented. The rich are some of the most unsatisfied and insatiable people on the planet, hence the greed for more wealth under the delusional idea it will solve their problem. It’s a self-perpetuating endless cycle of greed.

    Poor people may become needy to have their survival met but this doesn’t necessarily make them greedy, it makes them instinctually driven.

    If you think the poor are so spiritual then go to Liberia or Somalia to do spirituality. xD

    What are you on about? Liberia is mostly Christian and most parts of Africa overlap into spiritual/theological belief. 

    How about India, China or Peru? The far majority of the spiritually involved are poor residing in villages. I have no idea where you are sourcing your information.

    Most poor if they had a choice would not live in mediocrity. Wealth does not corrupt you, it just enhances your corruption. I think you have very little experience with poor people. They’re greedy as fuck, they just don’t have the outlet to express it. Sorry if that sounds bad but it’s true.

    That’s completely subjective. How one uses their money often has to do with the culture of their salary. Rich people do not live modestly. And further, they manipulate systems in order to accrue more wealth. Wealth may not corrupt you but the culture of it will.

    It’s not greed that generally drives them, it’s the desperation for a sufficient livelihood. Greed is the need for an excess of what already exists. That is precisely the definition of a rich person. You have your terms backwards.

    That’s not true at all, the poor are more greedy, and less spiritual. Just go to a third world country and see for yourself.

    That’s true, however, again you are crudely and vaguely generalising poor people. Those who are poor by the means of a minimum wage do not require existing in such a way. They can still afford to eat and fulfil basic needs. You are using the example of a minority. Most poor live mediocrely. Thus, have little wealth to corrupt them. Be specific in which destination along the continuum you are referring.

    It’s both. Many poor people don’t have the motivation to get out of their situation.

    Motivation is a product of the conditions in your environment not only ones self-agency. If you are predisposed poor you are inherently less likely to be motivated. And those who are, typically have historical work ethic values.

    Deep respects to this guy man. Awake or not, props to this guy for letting his body builder identity go and do this fast for spirituality. Really challenges the stage orange paradigm. 

    I just hope he knows about ego backlashes ?

     

    This I definitely wasn’t expecting him to complete. Props to him. However, the hard work is what proceeds. Hopefully it humbled him and purifies his online social notoriety.

    @Artsu I see you point but it veers on the highly dualistic side. 

    One simply requires consciousness, that is all. Living in harmony is intuitive to your very being. It’s the minds tendency to fragment things dualistically where problems of ethical behaviour arise.

    Yeah LSD surprisingly is very similar to 5meo. Shrooms are maybe a bit similar to n,n-DMT. LSD has more of a seriously spiritual/God/unity feel than mushrooms, to me. 1P-LSD would give a nice light show in the dark, much like shrooms. But again, 1P is actually very, very similar to regular LSD, you just don’t get ego-death nearly as easily.

    Ah okay. I guess it’s trail and error hey. I’ve always been interested in LSD but I’m not a massive fan of visuals while I’m trying to do deep inner work. I find it disorienting. This is why I find 5meO so appealing also its short lived which is an added benefit. Where LSD is like one of the longest acting psychedelics. Problem with 5meO is it’s so powerful it’s difficult to integrate. So I’m thinking of straddling it with other molecules like LSD in an experimental fashion.

    So is what you just said, so why are we having a conversation?

    Exactly right. Because we are using the mind in a relative sense. To exercise consciousness in a particular way for a particular purpose. That being, to live as optimal possible while bring a limited finite being. The more attached to morals you are the more attached to mind you are. The bases of living well is to use the mind in a detached manner while recognising your true nature beyond it.

    Ok, then what are sins?

    Another arbitrary construction of the mind.

    Any idea, though, theory or activity of mind is self created and fundamentally groundless. It only relates to the relative existence we call human life, which is purely mind stuff. Beyond this is consciousness and that is all that exists no distinctions or parameters.

    Mushrooms are more visual, LSD is visual too but VERY tactile and consciousness boosting. I’ve never felt the way I do on LSD on any shrooms. My body gets so intense feeling on LSD it blanks out of existence and time literally stops and I fall into a singularity that I feel some of me never made it out of. 1P-LSD and LSD are quite similar it’s just the peak on LSD would have me completely out of body (NO body) whereas I could easily control the 1P experience.

    Wow. Fascinating. Dude this sounds very much like my 5meO experience I had just recently. It literally blew my socks off. Never experienced anything like it. It was like a bomb detonated and I was taken into an oblivion being then reborn just after. Not as enlightening as it sounds though. Nonetheless looking forward to my next 5meO experience.

    So how does 1P LSD go in the dark if treated like a mushroom trip?

    Never tried 1B LSD. I used both 1P-LSD and traditional LSD (25) a lot, like 3 years ago. Good stuff from AB. 1P-LSD and LSD-25 feel quite similar with the onset, but with fairly high doses (110-600 mics; I am very sensitive and lose my entire body sense even on the low end of this) it was far more likely for me to break through to “infinite-web God-mode blinding-light ultra-witness” (idk what else to call it) on LSD-25. The stuff is like 5meo for me. 1P and 25 feel similar on the come-up but the potential with 25 is so much higher it’s laughable.

    Ah okay very interesting. So is 1P LSD similar time LSD in isolation? Like by itself? And what’s onset like? I’ve never even had LSD so have no idea. I just know from research.

    I too fear I will be sensitive to LSD to be honest haha. My mushroom experience was pretty heavy for a light dose.

    Well, good/bad doesn't dissipate. One becomes increasingly good as one grows in love, and can see good and bad in others.

    From one's own perspective, it can seem that the duality is dissipating, because good is becoming the new norm.

    Good and bad never existed to begin with. It has always and was always created by the mind. Good and bad dissolve once ones consciousness expands simply by the fact morality has no objective existence

    Trying to understand and experience God through a “sober” state of consciousness is like trying to hammer in a fence with your hand. Yes, you can do it, but why not use the proper tool?

    And let the psychedelic and non-psychedelic user debate begin...

    In all honesty though, I do agree. The current human psyche is so entrenched in delusion it’s almost inhuman to attain large leaps in growth through simply doing intermittent meditation. 

    One needs to meditate for long periods at a time to match some of the other hardcore methods out there, such as psychedelics and breath work.

    I love mediation but for the average human dedicated to this work its futile by itself.

    Those aren't real philosophers.

    A philosopher needs to have access to mystical insights and wisdom, as Plato did. A real philosopher needs to be conscious of God.

    Good luck finding one of them in our current societies xD May as well start digging up bones.

    Would be great to see the outcomes of a government of this sort nonetheless.

    The problem is their views are often dangerously uninformed.

    Actually I think Plato was onto something.

    The people who should run society are philosophers. As in, the most wise people who are loves of wisdom.

    But of course that's not gonna happen.

    I would just invest a lot more money in education so that all people are well-educated by default.

    True however so are those in corporate power. 

    Platos ideal would be interesting to see out. However, society would become far more materialistic and pragmatic than it already is, id guess. Considering majority of philosophers are now say “scientifically” subscribed and have little interest in metaphysical facets.

    Nice idea. It would be grand but you would need to incentivise learning more than leisure. Which in our day an age seems more problematic than ever before.

    Yes intelligence is relative, you can find wisdom in everyone. But it’s hard for people who are struggling to put food on the table to develop wisdom, they are low on the Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.

    The rich have wisdom simply because they are materially and physically secure. They have access to education material and so on as well. 

    Yes that’s true but it’s circumstantial not self-predicated. Those who are secure are by the very fact of where they were born and the social systems in which watered them, that being usually western or highly developed demographics.

    But in terms of politics and spirituality the rich would be more wise.

    Not so sure I agree with you there. On the continuum “poor” and “rich” are very vague terms from which to draw such a distinction. Many poor, who are not homeless on the street per say, are far more spiritually inclined and developed than a corporate businessman. The stereotypical poor are usually more humble and receptive than the rich I’d say. The stereotypical rich are usually more greedy, mechanistic, reductionistic and pragmatic. It’s simply all about what maximises their existing wealth. They have no grip on the metaphysical nature of reality if it could hit them over the head.
