  1. So that's why it's called a White Christmas.
  2. "I" is a thought. It arises and falls. What doesn't arise or fall?
  3. You need a burning desire to stop burning weed, or you might just burn out
  4. Without pointing to another thought, how do you know that?
  5. That's a thought. That's another thought. Am I a thought? Are you a thought?
  6. There is no you or me thinking anything
  7. It's a false dichotomy. It's attachment vs letting go. As long as you have attachments, you'll remain thought-identified.
  8. Sex, drugs and rock and roll.
  9. What happens to your mind during an awakening?
  10. Being Green is easy when you're an ordinary citizen who is operating within the confines of a Green country. Being Green is a bit harder when you're a president dealing with the mess that is geopolitics. Is sexual education harmful?
  11. Integrating the whole Intuition.
  12. This is what your body's energy production looks like at a microscopic level. Without it, there would be no war. But why would God change anything about these molecules? Everything is working perfectly from top to bottom. If you change just one thing about it, it's no longer complete. Reality is complete as it is. It necessarily has to be that way.
  13. Is that an official report or is it a bystander making assumptions? A violent breakdown on shrooms can easily be mistaken as coke rage.
  14. He is literally on mushrooms. It's the first thing that is said in the video ?
  15. Enlightenment itself is in many ways the opposite of abstract. It's just the thoughts "about" enlightenment that don't follow linear logic, i.e. it has to be intuited. Regardless, sensors and intuitives is not a straightforward dichotomy. You use both functions all the time.
  16. That's exactly why you should be hesitant about blowing away your ego at a young age. You're living in a culture that hasn't integrated psychedelic use at a young age. It's not just about neurons. It's about behavior.
  17. ISTP simply means Ti > Se > Ni > Fe. Ti - internal logical order. Se - specific and concrete perception of external world. Ni - broad & plethoric perception of internal world. Fe - external emotional data & harmony. (https://youtu.be/PQtBUvGK5C0) All MBTI personalities contain both intuitive and sensing functions. They're not all that different. They just emphasize different aspects. We're all humans with brains after all. On that note, ISTP is considered one of the most "intuitive sensors". Don't fall into the trap of assigning some teleological significance to your personality type. INTPs can be mechanics and engineers as well. It's just that some types are more likely to produce certain behaviors than others. It's a cognitive structural model, not a descriptive behaviorist model. Also, consider cross-referencing different models like Big 5 (granted, there are correlations, but no two models are equivalent). For example, you could have an ISTP who scores very high on openmindedness that would be even more likely to be express so-called intuitive behaviors. Not all ISTPs are the same.
