I think there's a difference. Circling of the Ka'ba by Sunnis is nothing like Shitte's blood ralies. The Ka'ba is just a place to practice these rituals, and the rituals seem to be civilized in its nature even with geometric shapes, like the cube, and the circles around it, and don't forget, these are part of the core of the doctrine itself. On the other hand, we have Shitt's blood rallies, they are not a part of the doctrine of Islam, but alien practices, and just the idea of self-torture is regressed and retarded, or in our language (lower on the stages), but somehow, people like yourself would like to see it similar to Sunnis. Sunnis is the only pure Islam by the way. it is NOT a division of Islam, but Sunni doctrine is all about being as accurate as possible to how Muhammed wanted the Islam to be, it is more of a "scientific approach" to achieve the purest form of Islam as intended to be practiced by its founder. Anything rather than that is a diversion and a hoax. How can anybody gives themselves a right to say what, while ignoring what in our hand of heritage by thousands of Muslim scholars that spans over a millennia about the subject ! You ever bothered to read the Sunni heritage? hundreds or even thousands of books that try to keep Islam pure using a scientific based approach. (If Leo considers shamons of 40000 years back as doing a form of science, the Sunnis also have done a great deal of science to define what Islam is and what it isn't)

Iraq has a massive land area, and it is just normal take in other factors that it will he a hot bed for terrorist activities and organizations. After the double suicide attack few days ago, this is what how Iraqi government is responding: https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/iraq/24012021 These people who are going to be executed belong to different tribes, and those tribes will develop anger towards what the consider an "alien, western supported political process". This will accelerate forming of new terrorist organizations and reviving ISIS, and in no time, Iraq will see rebellion in large areas of land, which means it will go out of control of government, and this in turn will lead to a new international intervention at best case, which will cause a new war-like situation.

@neutralempty Yet this is relative to how that person's mind and body is shaped, and hat shapes how each person understanding differently than the other. The understanding that an A.I has, is different from an animals, is different from a human's, is different from an alien, and so on.

On another note, just eating vegetables overstimulates my hormones, and increases my horniness levels. While it's great at other contexts, some contexts I find it unpleasant to feel horny for long periods of time. I find it annoying when my mind wonders to naked women when I need it to design complex structures for my survival. Vegan, no vegan, alien, elf machine, you do you. You're a perspective like the specks of dust in the universe, a once in a lifetime snowflake that'll melt like all the rest of the snows out there. Hopefully at least realize how relative you are to everything.

Totally, on the spiritual path, the sexuality is becoming very fluid, at least for me. I could easily fall in love with an alien. It's all about the Connection. When it's there it's there be it with a man, woman or allien.

I've already painted my nails. I enjoyed that ? I'll give dressing up a try. I get what you mean about not feeling human! I feel the same way. I feel like an alien and outsider, but it's probably because we are living a lot differently than most people in our society. I am not sure about the dysphoria thing? I dont necessarily hate my male body, but I do think having breasts and having wider hips would make feel more sexy and good about myself.

That's what I would say I was reacting to (either internally or externally through replies) when I saw pick up related posts on this site. Making a woman or really any person feel insecure is one of the hallmarks of manipulation and there is plenty of ways to be attractive to the opposite sex that doesn't involve being an asshole scheming behind the scenes. And this is also why I say that most girls can easily smell the inauthenticity or can intuitively tell that something is fishy because the whole thing seems at best a used car sales man approach to dating. I'll have to check those sources out. There is a HUGE difference between seeming high value and actually being high value. That's what I was essentially trying to articulate in the example of being standoffish and how there is a partial truth to it but has a weird red pill like vibe to it as well. While I was trying to figure out my dating life, I accidentally ran into some hypergamy like sources. I delved into it more not because I agreed with it but because the whole thing seemed really fascinating. A lot of the women who are attracted to hypergamy are not necessarily hotter than average but they are women who keep getting screwed over by fuck boys, guys who don't commit, and guys who treat them like shit. Some of them also have this impression of how everything was better in the 1950s or so when traditional gender roles were the norm because these women want to step into their femininity so they can have a man take care of them. Some of their advice makes sense like don't be desperate, have standards, don't date guys who don't have their shit together, but like red pill they take it to an extreme to the point where they have very materialistic notions of standards and having your shit together as well as a narrow definition of what it means to be a woman. Also a lot of women fall down the whole hypergamy pipeline on YouTube by starting out with trying to embrace their feminine side more (that's another reason why those videos started popping up in my recommended). Personally, I grew up with a lot of internalized misogyny and I didn't embrace my feminine side so I wanted to find sources online to find ways that I could honor that part of myself more and undo any internalized stigma I had towards what was considered feminine. The sources ranged from basic how to do your hair and makeup videos, to new age divine feminine type sources, and to the mess that is hypergamy. That's what a lot of women on this forum is taking about when we talk about the limits of pick up. Red pill makes a caricature of women which makes it hard to actually connect with women. It's the same used car sales man vibe all over again that usually makes a woman want to auto reject (many but not all). That's why you have to approach so often. When I first came to this forum and I saw men talk about 50-100 approaches, I thought that was insane. I knew that it is in a way more difficult for guys because they are expected to be the ones approaching and that many guys are bound to be rejected numerous times before they get a yes, but 50-100 seemed way too big of a number. To me, that figure is so big to where you need to reevaluate the tactics you are using. If you only succeed 1-2% of the time, there is something up. Also, with these parallels I'm observing, I'm really getting the impression that the best dating advice is usually gender neutral and doesn't make a caricature out of the opposite sex. I feel that the best pieces of relationship advice show you how to relate to people and deal with them effectively instead of painting the opposite sex as some type of alien species that has the complexity of a rubix cube times 10000.

Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/21/middleeast/iraq-baghdad-explosion-intl/index.html This happened at the first full day of Biden's Administration. My comment: Situation in Iraq is still very fragile, no, This is not still a result of Americans "messing and destabilizing Iraq". The reality is that Iraq's land area is so big, and according to https://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/ , "Present-day Iraq, comprising an area of 437,072 sq km (168,754 sq mi), Comparatively, the area occupied by Iraq is slightly more than twice the size of the state of Idaho" The truth is that it is hard to control this land with Iraqis still focusing solely on increasing numbers of security forces, recruiting over one million security personnel. Today's Iraq is a safe haven for terrorist organizations, and I can even argue that the latter are manufactured in Iraq. Honestly the lack of opportunities here, and the "Anti-Stage-Orange" mentality leads people to think to become criminals as a means of survival. I am doing my best to sponsor FB articles to teach people at least the importance of respecting the international laws, and any laws for that matter, in order to teach people how to respect a law or a convention or a constitution, all of are alien ideas to stage-red, and purple societies here. I believe this is the way to go, and to teach them the consequences of not respecting laws. I welcome any help in this regard, financial or intellectual.

It's not simple except your silence ideology. You think that silence is not an ideology? Well, then, think twice. Anyone can use the same logic and apply it to their ideologies, but that doesn't make anyone non-ideological, or in any lesser degree. I could say that the act of murder is not an ideology. In murder, there is not even the idea of murder or no murder. It's actually pretty simple. I don't get the rambling to be honest. What you're basically saying here is that you can think without thoughts. Well, that'd be some next generation alien technology that I'm not really interested in.

I hope they will be. Otherwise we could have problems :-D Stephen Hawking once said that they could behave somehow like conquistadors in South and Central America. On a side note, I have recently watched a documentary on alien abductions and I remember two things: they probably came from Zeta Reticuli and the evidence for the abductions seemed really hard! The abductees had implanted pieces of metals that are not naturally found on earth (only in meteorites). The pieces were sent to US research laboratories and the chirurgical removals were done by a real surgeon.

WARNING : The following story contains detailed retranscription of very distressing thought and fucked up reasoning that really made me question my sanity for a short period of time. I would not recommend reading this if you are tripping on weed or any psychedelics right now. I would also avoid reading if you suffer from OCD, as obsessive and intrusive thoughts are at the heart of this experience, but hey, you do as you wish. I apologize for the lengthy post but I really wanted to make sure to get all the details down, I hope this level of description will give some insight about what exactly constitutes the experience of a bad trip from an internal point of view for those who never experienced it, and especially how things can gradually go objectively more insane while remaining somehow coherent and making perfect sense for the person experiencing the trip. I've read many trips reports but I've never seen one explaining in detail the inner workings of the mind trying to persuade you that your madness is real, which is what I'm aiming to do with this story. Another reason I'm writing this is to gain some insight into the interpretation (if there's any) of the events that happened that night. What does it tell about myself, my state of mind, consciousness, or the way the human mind works in general? Such questions I don't think I can answer right now, but I'm eager to hear what you all have to say. The events I'm about to describe have deeply disturbed but also motivated me to develop a new mindset of self-improvement and spiritual research, it kinda woke me out of a state of slumber you could say. Now that I've seen the tremendous power of the mind, I realize the importance of every single moment of my life and I want to get the most out of it, which include fixing my intellectual and behavioural shortcomings, becoming a better person on all accounts, especially my relationship with myself and others, and stop wasting my days doing nothing. Sorry for the rant lol now comes the interesting part : This happened about a month ago. I had already taken LSD a few times before, in moderate dosage (200ug each time). I'm 20 years old for reference. At the moment, I was already interested about metaphysical topics such as the nature of reality, consciousness, and so on, but I never really dug into the subject and I was still very ignorant about spirituality in general. (I had a very fixed materialist vision of life, I was pretty much your typical STEM student who think he has it all figured out, you get the idea) Anyway, I discussed with some friends I had tripped with before, and they all told me how the experience changed their daily lives and how they were more grateful/conscious/detached from reality etc... I got a little frustrated because I really couldn't say the same about my own personal experience, even though I was the one who initially suggested taking LSD to "get something out of it". So the next evening, I made the incredibly wise decision of taking a much larger dose (375ug) by myself, at night, in my bedroom, to finally get the sought-after "realization". The actual come up of the trip went surprisingly well, the visuals were slightly more intense than usual but nothing too crazy, my mind was alright too, even though I was overall very confused and my thoughts made no sense most of the time. (btw my acid comes from a very reliable and well-known guy on the DW so I'm pretty sure I'm not underestimating the dosage). Anyway, I decided to light up a joint to enhance the trip, with no regards for the fact that cannabis has always made me very very nervous and self-conscious (I'm sure you can start to see where this is going ) Only a few seconds after the last toke, as I was observing the streetlights, I started questioning the utility of taking LSD (It's something I have always done during the previous trips, and I always feel like I cannot provide a relevant answer, which for some reason makes me feel very uneasy). But this time, I felt a sense of absolute existential dread at that thought. It was as if I HAD to answer right now or the consequences would be absolutely dramatic in a way I couldn't even fathom. I cannot describe the feeling of pure terror that I instinctively felt as I realized I was absolutely unable to provide an answer that would satisfy me (I think no answer could at that point). I instantly tried to think about something else like my life depended on it (and I was absolutely convinced that was the case) but this only made the feeling even more intense and the thoughts in my head became more aggressive. Each effort I made to try to think about something else, the thought would come back at me, bigger and more terrifying than ever. It was not even about the initial question anymore, but about the fact that I couldn't calm down and move on. I tried to think about logical arguments to get out of this irrational thought trap I had gotten myself into, and I kept repeating to myself that I shouldn't make such a big deal of virtually nothing, but the voice would respond each time, overriding my pathetic attempts to regain control of the situation. That was where I realized in horror that I had absolutely no control over that voice in my head. I started to perceive these thoughts as a sort of alien, demonic presence that would keep tormenting me until my death. It was my punishment for experimenting with drugs and opening gates in my brain that should have stayed closed. Now comes the really really fucked up part, in my opinion, the realization that made me fall into the abyss of madness for the next 3 hours: I understood that I had become obsessed with the voice narrating my own thoughts. Now the thing about obsessions is that eventually you get distracted from what's clouding your mind and start to think about something else... but the thing that's distracting you is usually your own thought stream, and therefore "the voice" itself. In my case, that was precisely the object of my obsession, which meant that I had absolutely no escape from that headspace, for whenever I tried to think of something else to get myself out of this nightmarish thought loop, I would instantly recognize the voice "linked" to my though, and fall even further down the rabbit hole. Another disturbing thing I experienced in that state was amplifications of my thoughts like my head was an echo chamber: I would think about something and instantly recognize the voice narrating the thought in my head. By unwillingly paying attention to it, kinda like reading it in my head, I would create a new voice saying the same thing (much like when you read something and you have a voice narrating what you're reading, except I was reading my own thoughts if that makes sense) then I would start reading that new voice, creating a new layer, etc... that process repeating itself hundreds of times in a matter of seconds, each step making me feel like I was diving deeper into insanity. Not cool. A few minutes of delusion later, I felt like I had a total understanding of the way my mind worked, and more precisely the way the different thoughts flowed into each other. I understood life was a never-ending succession of thoughts, each one coming to distract myself from the previous one. I could see that each new thought would usually trigger a kind of reset in my memory, making me forget my current focus to switch onto the new one, in an indefinite cycle. I guess that's not too far off from reality, to be honest, haha, except that in my current mental state, I could sense immediately whenever that "reset" was triggered, and the realization would instantly make me loop once more. Again, I was trapped in a (seemingly) endless cycle of obsession, since the object of my obsession was now the very moment when a new thought form in your mind, and I was convinced I would keep noticing this process until the end of my life, thus making me theoretically unable to ever think about something else... forever. I let you imagine the sheer terror I felt when I came to this conclusion, which seemed logically indisputable to me at the time. I was absolutely convinced I would never be able to think about anything else that this damned loop, and that I would be transferred to a psychiatry ward the next day. The worst part is I thought I had undisputable logical arguments to support that claim (as the thought process that drove me to this conclusion seemed backed by pure logic and not irrational thinking) During this whole part of the trip, I had a progressive sense of feeling the demonic presence of psychedelics into my brain, that manifested itself through "the voice" and some weird shadow worm hallucinations in the corner of my sight. (like hundreds of dark little tentacles all around my field of vision, that kept squiggling all the time. They evoked me a parasite that would feed on my happiness and remind me until my death how life was now dull, meaningless and a cycle of perpetual suffering). I felt like the drug had opened new realms inside my mind and connected things that should have stayed distant from each other, and now I was stuck in my own head with this demonic entity, trapped on the other side of reality, as I could only watch the outside world through my eyes in despair, reminiscing of my previous happy life, back when I had not broken the process of thinking and my head was working properly. I knew nothing had fundamentally changed in the objective outside world, but now I was trapped in my own head, in a psychedelic mind prison. At that point I had a closed-eye visual of sitting at the bottom of a bottomless hole (I know it makes no sense) and above me were infinite layers of fractal-like weeds made of shadows, waving menacingly above my head. I thought they represented the psychedelic headspace that had swallowed me whole and was now closing in front of me, separating me from my old reality forever. I then spent a couple of minutes on my smartphone, reading on various forums about drugs and mental illnesses, doing research with keywords like LSD, thought loop, obsession, life ruined etc... and I was convinced that I was reading many reports of different people trapped in the same mental state as me, after noticing the same thought patterns I did and after following the same "logical reasoning", giving them the same recursive obsessive thoughts that would now ruin every single second of their lives. When I went back on these sites the next day I realized the stories I had read had actually nothing to do with my own experience, I remember this thread in particular terrified me : https://www.reddit.com/r/PsychologicalTricks/comments/eojn16/pt_how_do_i_get_out_of_a_thought_loop/ and looking back at it I really can't understand why, but the LSD warped my mind in such a way that everything I read was interpreted to fuel my existential anxiety I guess. The only thing that bugged me is that I was genuinely convinced that if I were to explain my "looping issue" to anyone, even sober, they would become crazy and obsessed with their own thought stream as well since I thought it was totally logical and understandable reasoning that drove me insane initially. Therefore, I did not understand why I had never heard of this demonic loop before, as it had the potential to destroy humanity (lol). Was I actually the first-ever human to realize that? It can't be, I just read testimonies of other guys experiencing the same. Then the truth hit me like a truck: It was fake all along, reality never existed and everything was a simulation. My family, my friends, my school... nothing was real. At that point, I was still reading comments online and I thought they came from other people who had taken psychedelics and had broken through the illusion of reality as well (which makes no damn sense since other people were supposed to be fake but actual rational thinking was not an option anymore I guess). All the comments were complaining about being trapped in an eternal time loop now that they had broken their mind and discovered the ultimate truth, so I began to think the same. I was lying in my bed with my headphones on, and I was absolutely convinced that this would be my destiny for eternity. This is, I think, the most distressing state of mind that a human being can find itself in. If I had a gun at this precise moment, I would have blasted my head without a moment's hesitation. The feeling of eternity is truly mind-shattering. I kept coming with reasons to calm down and downplay the issue, trying to find my way out of this nightmare, but every 3 seconds or so, I would have a realization, like the voice was telling me "Oh no no no son, you don't understand how serious this is " and for a split nanosecond I gained a fundamental insight about the true nature of reality and I would realize that I was indeed trapped until eternity, that all my effort to think myself out of this situation were vain, then I would immediately forget about it (I don't think there was actually an insight at all, just an overwhelming feeling of having one), resulting in me trying one more time to think rationally for 3 seconds, only to be crushed again by this intuition, etc... the process repeated itself for an indefinite time. I was listening to random songs on a Spotify playlist that wasn't mine, and this song that I didn't know at the time, "sweet sound of ignorance", started playing : I thought the "universe" (aka the wicked entity that had created my reality and manipulated my life the entire time) was playing this song to mock me and tease me about taking psychedelics to get a deeper understanding of reality, because now that I knew the truth, all I wanted was to forget and get back to my old ignorant self. I love listening to this song nowadays, I find the melody absolutely haunting and it captures perfectly the ethereal feeling of watching the very structure of reality melt in front of your eyes... weird I know but I can't help it so that's a positive aspect of this trip I guess haha Anyway, at that point, I started getting extremely focused on the music randomly played by Spotify, because I felt it was trying to tell me something, I remember thinking it was displaying a summary of my entire life for some reason. My memories are very sparse from that moment, but I remember this song playing : At the sight of the religious imagery on the cover (I didn't even notice the fucking lasers and probes lmao) I instantly felt an intense warmth rushing through my body. I think that for a moment I thought I was God, then I thought I had definitely gone crazy, then I felt like God again. I could feel the inner workings of my mind, the way neurons communicate and the way thoughts and information were conveyed intuitively. At the peak of my delirium, I felt that I was a being of light and that I could communicate with other beings like myself, through a way that didn't require actual thinking somehow, and all these beings were telling me I had found the way to transcend the illusion of reality and the infinite loops of madness, and now I was in the superior realm of fractals where the evil thoughts were unnecessary and I could remain here at peace for eternity. I have absolutely no idea what happened after this. Obviously, I had forgotten a long time ago that I was tripping. When I woke up the next morning, I felt so fucking relieved that I was still my normal self, and that I hadn't gone crazy and obsessed with infinite recurring thought patterns or other weird stuff. I believe all of this experience was just a gigantic psychotic delusion, including the "awakening and transcendence" part. I really do not attribute a deep spiritual meaning to what I lived, for it was most likely the result of extreme suggestibility induced by the drug, coupled with an undisciplined mind and ignorance of its inner working (I'm pretty sure I could have handled these intrusive thoughts after only a few weeks of meditation but at the time I really couldn't stop identifying to them). I did learn to sit the fuck down and stop doing irresponsible shit with such powerful substances. I will definitely trip again but with lower dosages, and only after gaining enough knowledge and mastery over my own mind. Thanks for reading!

Players have been around since forever. You don't need to go to another tribe to pick up girls. Although of course that happened too. You know the first thing that Magellan's men did after they landed on foreign shores in South America after weeks at sea? Go pick up the native chicks. To put that into perspective, that's like astronauts landing on Mars and the first thing they do is go looking for alien girls to fuck.

Permanent enlightenment is Infinity/Absolute Love /Absolute Goodness. All of us finite beings, though we may have woken up, still return to being finite. And to be finite is to be imperfect. It is to wrestle with ego. But reality would be a HELL of a lot better...no pun intended. Crime would be nearly gone, war would be a thing of the past.... That would be a much more conscious, turquoise society, far more advanced - with Love/Pure Consciousness as its focal point. Though not without its imperfections, it would be much like that highly advanced alien society you imagine is out there somewhere - or humanity in 1000 years.

Well... in the capitol the risk is losing democracy and freedom in the Area 51 you can only lose a plastic doll that looks like an alien ?

@LostStudent It's alright. I have experienced a lot worse and survived, and now I'm happier than ever. I have been severely depressed in the past, but what you're describing here does not sound like depression to me, at least not a clinical case of depression. Rather, it sounds like an unconscious repression of your authentic self. In my experience, that can happen due to various reasons, including: Losing sight of your intuitive compass after years of conscious supression, or at least somewhat conscious. Being overly focused on results instead of being focused on finding the right balance between happiness & success, or feeling & thinking. So now success, discipline, thinking, goals, planning, achievements, etc... are your modus operandi in life. And you don't know much beyond that because other things, such as happiness, connection, intuition, feeling, being, playing, etc... have probably become alien to you at this point. You can confirm that is the case if your life feels too mechanical, or something like being stuck in a hamster wheel. Nothing to worry about, though. Set aside some time everyday to rediscover those things, and let your feelings be the guide there. Less thinking, more feeling. You need to balance the thinking. That's what the sadness is telling you. It's telling you to pay more attention to your feelings. I don't know how the covid situation is being handled over there, but what else is preventing you from having a relationship? I, too, have struggled with the sense of directionlessness, and I still do to some degree. At first, I felt extremely uncomfortable not-knowing where my life is heading, similar to you. But then, I learned that that's not a necessary thing. I don't need to know all the steps, as long as I am walking them one step at a time. If it gets too much, I go out and take a walk in nature and listen to some music.

Well, you guys are all laughing right now, but imagine the alien overlords will actually conspire through Parler and launch a terrorist tomorrow??? They will come to Russia after they are done with Merica . What do we do??

This is now my favourite talk on psychedelics ever. Very exciting. Finally a scientist who does not try to deny and marginalize subjective experience, but really explores it full-force. Terence McKenna would have loved this. So apparently they are really working towards establishing contact with hyperdimensional beings. Of course we already have this, when we smoke DMT or go into some kind of trance, or just use a natural ability that some have. But for scientist to set out to do this in a controlled setting, and really extend the trips to understand as much as we can about this other world, is truly groundbreaking. So if I understand it correctly, you actually temporarily become a higher-dimensional being when you do DMT. I suppose ego death makes sense there, too. This explains to me also these UFOs spotted by commander Frazer and his colleagues, who moved impossibly fast. And in general why UFOs and alien sightings tend to appear and disappear into apparent nothing. If I had a sheet of paper with 2-dimensional life going on on it, it wouldn't see my finger until I put it in their plane of existence. I could then lift it and put it down somewhere else, and to them it would disappear and re-appear. In a lower dimensional world, it's not impossible to see things that move in more dimensions. You can see the projections of them. But if they would rotate, it would not make sense in your world. If you watch the famous tesseract rotate, it doesn't make sense because it's a 2d projection, which we can mentally expand into 3d, but that still would be a projection/slice. It doesn't make sense in the same way that if you took a circle in a 2d world, and rotated it in the 3d dimension, it would flatten, turn into a line, and unflatten into a mirror image of itself. Without an understanding of 3d world, this makes zero sense and is against all laws of nature that you are aware of. It is not at all like all your 2d objects that constrain themselves to 2d physics behave.

That would only support the manufacture of false claims and conspiracy theories. If people can make up any BS unsubstantiated claims they want and get a “thorough forensic investigation” there would be no functioning government. Everyone would be making up BS claims against there adversaries and if every BS claim got a “thorough forensic investigation”, the entire government would spend all there time chasing absurd BS claims. As well, this highlights the importance of moderation / regulation on social media and news. If someone can easily spread misinformation online and convince millions of people of BS and conspiracy theories to the point they are willing to riot and kill people, that becomes a problem. Imagine if you and I had the power to convince 50 million people that people with blue eyes are aliens sent from the planet Xenon. These 50 million gullible people become extremely fearful and angry. After conning them, we fundraise 100s of millions off of them to stop the blue-eyed invasion of America. Then we threaten to harm blue-eyed people and demand “thorough forensic investigations” into whether they are aliens. Yet of course no one brainwashed would accept any evidence that they aren’t alien threats.

If you understand yourself as an infinite being who was never born and never dies, and can only "be," then reincarnation is perfectly in line with it. You might be an alien in another universe next dream, who knows.

I don’t consider contextualizations to be “nuances”. I would consider nuances to be different angles that give a more complete view of a bigger picture. Everyone here already knows there is looting, vandalism and violence within any massive movement of injustice. I’m completely comfortable in looking at that within the larger context. Yet it is a distortion to focus on certain points and extrapolate into the bigger picture. Integrating points into a bigger picture is very different than extrapolating single points as a bigger picture. You’ve posted several memes of white people protesting against black police officers. It seems to me like the intention is to portray blm as hypocritical and implicitly dismisses systemic racism. If we want to address systemic racism in the bigger picture, we may look at the effectiveness of hiring minority police officers. Is it effective? If not, why? Perhaps placing a few minority people into a realm of systemic racism will not help much. Perhaps we need to look at deeper systemic issues. For example, what percentage of the police force live within the community they serve? Are minority officers and administrators empowered to express their views and life experience? Or are they pressured to conform into a status quo culture. Are they being tokenized? I would consider these to be nuances. Be mindful of the mind’s orientation. The mind loves to think “I’m unbiased and open-minded. I’m just sharing unpopular nuances, yet I don’t know anything”. If that was true, the mind wouldn’t be hold onto the views and promoting those views. If the mind truly was oriented that it didn’t know anything, then it would be much more curious and open-minded. A great example of this mindset is Richard Feynman. He is a clear example of stage yellow thinking and he was a master at zooming in and out. One exercise he would do is imagine that he was an alien visiting earth and seeing a situation with a mindset of not-knowing. For example, what is sleep? Aliens that don’t sleep would be not know what sleep was. They would get very curious and ask “How and why do humans go into a coma for 8 hours a day?”. They would want to know experientially what that is like. Similarly, a lens without racial injustice wouldn’t know what that is. They would have a very open and curious mindset as they ask “why do humans treat each other as they do? What are these things called ‘race and racism? Why are people so upset about it?” To be able to wear different lenses, the mind first needs to become aware it is wearing a lens and then be willing to take it out and wear other lenses.

I came to believe that Iraqis are malinformed. People have all sort of stupid notions. The idea of international conventions is alien to most of Iraqis. I am now sponsoring a FB page to educate people that the embassies are sacred places, they are equivalent to shrines in religions. I hope I can change the minds of people and make them see the importance of "not firing rockets on an embassy"

Happy new year everyone! Have a great alien invasion in 2021!

Wow this is powerful to read. it reminds me of the weird distorted childhood logic that I had when I was like 4 years old. a few months ago during meditation I had that same experience when my inner monolog said "I will never think that spit is beautiful". then a few days later I tried looking at my on spit in the mirror and it looked cool, or alien and mysteriously beautiful and I was shocked that my own spit could look the way it did only buy testing that idea that "it is disgusting" when it is only the cultural idea that it is gross. Maybe an authority figure says that that "this body process is shameful" and it is the shame that causes the suffering. I can almost picture this cheese trip thing in my own mind right now and I want you to know that you are not alone. I have without any substances at all had many many times in my life where I have had distorted weird thoughts and they can be very useful if they are not looked at as "wierd" or "something to be suppressed"

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you write ? However I feel to explore a bit more on this topic. I tend to think about this in this way. That psychedelics don't affect the consciousness, they affect the brain, the receiver of consciousness. It's like a radio, waves and frequencies are in the universe and by changing things in the radio you receive different sounds. So by taking psychedelics you change the state of the receiver, perhaps you change the channel and suddenly you're in different world altogether or you expand the range of how much more information can the receiver download. When you go to sleep you don't turn off the consciousness, you turn off the receiver. So you can't affect the consciousness you can only play with instrument of your body-mind-receiver. An alien would perhaps have different possiblieties and states of experience because his instrument is different. Same with animals. Don't take this too seriously because it may not be true in the end, idk, it's just something interesting to think about Stay Blessed. ??

They might be fun or not for you. For me These kinds of inquiries are my favorite. Go ahead and screw around with them if you like. Because I'm challenging everything you believe you know.... 1. What keeps everything together? What makes the floor underneath stands? Why doesn't the universe just fly apart right now? Exactly what makes everything "work" so to speak? The rules of physics? What is grounding that? And what's grounding that?...... You get the idea 2.name something that you are absolutely certain of. Like 100 %certain of. Justify why are you certain of it. Do you notice that absolutely everything is uncertain? Such that uncertainty is the only thing you are certain of? For example what makes you certain that the next moment the TV will not suddenly show a different universe because God suddenly decided to flip the channel??????( 3.are you dreaming or awake right now? And how do you know? (oh a classical one but still you basically don't know the ontological statues of your experience). 4. What is the context of existence? This experience that's happening right now.... Where exactly is it happening? In a computer or in a universe or maybe in an alien's dream? What models (scientific or spiritual etc) do you have to explain this present moment? Do you realize all your models are bullshit because they themselves are the very same present moment that's completely unexplainable? 5. Is the earth flat or round? Whatever you believe it is. Have you actually seen the earth from above? No. Then why you are not agnostic about this? Why you believe it's round? I could come up with dozens of them. Basically the point is everything you think you know could be deconstructed completely. Then again what do you really know? Only the immediate direct experience. Edit : Here's another question. . How to ground any knowledge whatsoever that's not contacted with in the immediacy of the present moment? In other words anything that you are not seeing, hearing, touching, smelling or tasting right this moment... How is it possible to have a certain knowledge of such thing? (could be a memory.. An anticipation of the future.. Or a conceptual explanation of the experience itself) etc.
