There is no you.

Doesn't quite look like it

The way they interviewed Connor Murphy right after his most crazy videos seemed very openminded, non-judgmental, compassionate.

I used to think so much that it was hard to get my attention. Then I meditated one time and my mind kinda fell apart. Now it's often hard to even think of anything

Here are some fruits and berries for comparison:

thus implying you're the real high consciousness person

This topic is in a low state of awareness

@PopoyeSailor Spontaneous kundalini awakenings are so fascinating. The seeing through wall thing is yet another example of the conditional nature of these experiences.

Do you think they would be explicit about saying it's about sexual attraction or would they maybe cite some virtue like "the ideal shape of a woman's feet"? In most cases, Orange would be the former, Blue the latter. Breast implants is a choice that a woman makes by herself (ideally) in order to boost her social status or self-esteem. There are of course implicit cultural influences at play, but at the level of individual action, it's a woman enhancing herself for the sake of her individuality. The Chinese feet thing is a practice that is forced upon somebody without their consent and enters the collective conformity aspects of Blue. From the perspective of values, Orange would cite freedom, individual rights etc. while Blue would cite tradition, virtue etc..

Notice how they're studying meditation within the framework of Western medicine: "reducing anxiety", "prolonging attention span". Those are Western concepts that are generally operationalized using materialist constructs (neural and physiological correlates etc.). They don't consider it alternative or paranormal for exactly that reason. "Paranormal" is most of the time just a euphemism for things that are considered a no-go zone for materialist science.

That is the not so easy part

@This Oh yeah I've also thought about that before. This is a naive interpretation in multiple ways. Leo has already given a good explanation for this specifically earlier in the thread. "A well-respected scientist" would never dare to risk their career by seriously studying paranormal phenomena. Look at what happened to Rupert Sheldrake. He used to do regular science and now he is labeled as a kook. @Forestluv I couldn't have asked for a better way to concretize my points. Amazing

I dropped that aswell.

I truly learned what meditation is. I'm not stagnating at all. Infact, my progress scares me.

Just like any normal person's relationship to an apple.

I've taken large doses of ecstasy while blasting music and doing group hugs, completely melting my face off. None of that comes anywhere close to melting into awareness while completely sober. It's so good it's terrifying. There is nothing more terrifying than being killed by love.

What is really funny is that my baseline skyrocketed when I stopped meditating and stopped pursuing enlightenment

What should be the enlightened person's relationship to an apple?

How can it be infinite if it doesn't contain all of it?

Mushrooms only take 1-2 weeks to grow once you have grown your mycelium (takes 3-4 weeks, one-time thing) compared to 3-5 months for an indoor weed plant. You'll have a lifetime supply in 6 months.

Naaah I'm fine

They're not there. You were given a 16 GB file but you only had 1MB storage. Btw, hallaisen ??
