@Nahm I can't thank you enough for guiding me on my past experience. Your words were wise and direct, everything you said was on point, except one thing. I realized that i was running away from the very lesson that i should have faced from the very beginning in order to move on. As much as i want to deny it and believe something else, it is simply not possible. The truth remains always. I am aware that i am framing this negatively, I have not fully transcended my ego, and so i am passing through a mixed emotional phase because i am not currently as aware as i was when i had my initial experience. Reflecting back, I now remember holding my phone, very present and in complete shock of what NOW is. Absolutely and completely shocked on how i was lying to myself for 20 years now. And how others are lying to themselves. I remember pulling out my phone, thinking to myself what the actual f*** am i holding, clicking on one of Leo's videos, aware of those alien hands holding this so called "phone", aware of those thoughts, those words that at the moment seemed like they were trying to deny the truth of what now is out of complete fear, but of course couldn't. my ego could not falsify something that is not. I was too aware at that point. I just KNEW that whatever this is, it is completely alone. I noticed that the trap i was falling into was denying that i was alone. Instead of accepting it, embracing it as it is. how it always was, always will be. Be aware that when you die, you will die alone. no-one will be there, not Nahm, not Leo, not echart Tolle, Not OSHO, not your mom, not even your own self. You will die ALL ONE. Thanks again

Well a “they” definitely interfered with my brother and I. So, i don’t need any secret information to be disclosed to me, being a first hand Witness. You seem rather attached to figures and markers of apparent authority, as if your exposure to such people and ranks has given you Illumination in this topic ... a definitive understanding of what is the case. Sure you can speak to the assistant coach, build a solid relationship with him, get some insights into what is being discussed at the management level. But, that means nothing in terms of truly knowing what the owner is planning. As before, it is possible to have “access” to technology, but yet have no idea how to use it to its full potential. Perhaps even, the “alien” technology we may have “access” to, has anti-destructive fail-safes inbuilt. Inhibiting any potential for such uses.... Can respect your opinions, but You seem relatively eager to jet off and avoid thinking outside the box here. Perhaps your positions of belief about this topic aren’t as solid as you make them appear... UFOs definitely exist. The question of wether “earthlings” have access to such things, is one that, I don’t feel anyone here has the liberty to suggest having a definitive answer to.

OK, here is the general problem I have with this thread. First, I will preface this by agreeing with @ajasatya I will also say I can't say everything I know; I had to sign an NDA with my employer and I obviously don't have access to all programs (but more than I'd say 99% of you here.) Second, I know people who have worked in the NSA/CIA/FBI/etc. I know people who have interned at NASA. I even know someone who has worked in Area 51. The defense industry is kind of small, so it's surprisingly easy to run into people like that. Judging by the "research" you have given (anecdotal evidence), my research is about as valid as yours, even if you disagree with it. In terms of spiral dynamics, the defense industry is very blue-orange and is primarily focused on developing technologies to neutralize the enemy. If we had access to alien technologies, we would be all over that shit, and we would use it to wipe out Iran or whoever our customer doesn't like that day. We're just not there. I actually think it's better that we aren't. We as a species can't handle that kind of power, and we'd probably be in a nuclear winter now if we had access to alien-level technology. On the research note, TV shows and YouTube videos are not what I would consider valid "research" either. I mean, that kind of insults what I had to do to get my graduate degree, or what people have done to get PhDs. Now, just in case you didn't think I tried, I did a two-week trial of Gaia, and I was really hoping to like it. I found it very uninformed and misleading. I really think it's irresponsible for a streaming service to pedal the "truths" Gaia provides when a little critical and systematic thinking can poke holes in arguments, even if a watcher don't have a strong science background. Suffice it to say that I was very disappointed. I think Gaia should stick to Yoga, but these programs have an audience, so oh well. A bit about me: I took the sdtest.us and tested in the green/yellow/turquoise range. I watched the actualized.org videos and felt totally attacked when I watched the yellow video so I guess that's where I primarily am. I am totally open to alien lifeforms. Judging by what I have seen and heard, I think they have decided to take a position of "no interference" with life on Earth. My opinion is that Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry called it correctly on that one. Another person who thought that was was Bill Watterson. He created an iconic comic strip called Calvin and Hobbes, and a famous strip stated that the best evidence there is intelligent life elsewhere is that it's nowhere to be found on Earth. Given current events, I rather would be on another planet as well. I don't think the aliens would want a dumb human, though. Back to the science: I have actually attended conferences about quantum mechanics and spoken to actual researchers about quantum computing. I am so interested in this subject that I want to get a Ph.D. in quantum communications. I have set a goal to start my program in a few years (which makes me wonder why am I wasting time in this thread *sigh*.) The first thing any of these researchers will tell is you is that Star Trek teleportation is impossible. The type of teleportation that actually *is* possible is photon-related, which excites me to no end, but most people would probably find that topic fairly boring, and it involves a lot of advanced math. TL; DR: The defense industry doesn't have access to alien technology as we would have wiped out Earth by now. I believe this because I work in the industry. Save your money on Gaia and buy a book about critical thinking skills instead. Yellow is a lonely, unpopular color . Aliens probably want to leave Earth the hell alone. Teleportation is for photons. This is my last post in this thread.

I was going to contemplate relating to people and I looked up the word relate to help get me started: To identify with... My mind went immediately to this reoccurring feeling of alienness I've carried with me as long as I've been depressed. I've identified 4 points of its foundation. Fatness: kids can be cruel to a kid. Gayness: straight Society can be cruel to a kid. Blackness: White Society can be cruel to a kid. And probably most devastating to me was cut / uncut status. Seeing nothing but cut dicks in porn and looking down as an impressionable youngster not knowing what the fuck that thing was. Whatever it was, it wasn't what all the other boys had. For six months, a year or more , I don't even know, I had no idea there was something under the hood. It took a somewhat random doctor's appointment to reveal to me even though I had been playing with it regularly , I had been neglecting a part of it I had no idea existed. I will spare your imaginations from painting an image, but when I saw it for the first time , I remember thinking: what the fuck is that? So I might have a little trauma surrounding my genital area. I think these four points make up a big reason I've always felt alone in every crowd. I can't relate to people because I'm an alien in human skin... or so says the program running in the background. I've definitely tried my damnedest to socialize and pick up guys and there have been many times where I was successful, but there was always that line that could never be crossed. Stripper rules: I can touch you but don't you fucking touch me. Just receive this pleasure and we can both walk away happy. God! I really didn't want to have to deal with this shit. I was just going to get rich and pay somebody to pretend to like me. It would have been grand.

If it's true that we get reincarnated over and over again, will we ever stop experiencing lives full of suffering? Will it be after the experience of every life of every human, animal or alien that ever lived and will ever live? And if enlightenment is the only way to look over this (for every living thing) horrible situation, why do we get reincarnated into animal bodies, where we can't even think about reality and do consciousness work to help ourselves?

So I have finally been able to get my hands on some N,N-DMT and want to share my first few experiences. The first 3 attempts I tried vaping it with an oil pipe. Dosages ranged from 20mg to 50 mg. All I felt was a low body high, no visuals, nothing special. As the dose increased, the body sensations got stronger. I guess my technique was quite bad and I burned some of the DMT and did not inhale deep enough. Because I did not want to waste more DMT, I decided to order the Mighty-Vaporizer from Storz& Bickel. I saw some good reviews and thought it would work way better for me, because I don´t have such strong lungs. And it did. I started with 40mg, set the temperature at 180°C and took 3 big tokes. The vapor was really pleasant and smooth to inhale. I felt this body high again but 1000x stronger than the last time. Still no visuals or insights. Still in my room. 1-2 hours later I put another 65mg in the Mighty and inhaled 3 times. Now I heard a light tingeling in my ears, and felt a very high vibration energy. It was even hard to take the third toke and my body was shaking and vibrating like crazy. Nothing unpleasant but nothing pleasant either. I laid back and was very very slightly introdcued into some kind of "space", but it was a very short experience. 1-2 hours later I tried it again with another 40mg. Kind of the same results but a little bit stronger. I was happy about the progress but not quite satisfied or fascinated. So I tried it again a few days later. This time with 80mg in the Mighty. I took 3 big tokes and it shot me right out of my body into .... whatever that was First toke: Tingeling in the ears, weird feeling in the body Second toke: lights intensified, became more orange/yellow like and I saw some light patterns Third toke: I did not know where the vaporizor was anymore and was completely in another "space" It´s very hard to describe these experiences, but there was a feeling of "Wow!". I lost the sense of time and asked myself: "Am I dreaming right now?" It felt like a quick rolercoaster, but a very fast one But there were still very very little visuals in that "place", it was more like normal darkness with very distant shapes and patterns. I came back and saw really beautiful shapes and geometry on the walls and laughed very loudly after I thought about what just happened. I found it quite interesting and wanted to take it further, because it definitely did not feel like a "breakthrough". A few days later: Around 85mg in the Mighty. --> Kind of a similar experience. My thoughts after i came back: "What just happened? I don´t know... It fades so fast. It feels kind of sacred, alien and mysterious, but I don´t know what to make of the experience. So I tried it again and again (3-4 times) over the course of a month or two. With dosages from 90-115mg. The results and conclusions were kind of the same every time. For me it just feels so beyond ... I always got that feeling that I left my body and was going somewhere, but with very little/ near to no visuals (which I find kind of strange from what I´ve heard about NN-DMT), no entities and no special insights. So I just don´t know what to take away or learn from it other than that I am not the body and that it is really fascinating that a substance can take you so far out of your ordinary reality so fast It´s quite interesting but for me it was nothing that changed my perspective radically and it is definetly not a fitting tool for this work. I guess I need to get my hands on some 5-MeO One day a friend of mine who in not really into psychedelics tried 30mg in the Mighty (he just took 1-3 very weak tokes) and was gone into elf-land, saw magical animals and talked to trees.(He had open eyes all along and was in the forest, and I only experienced it with closed eyes in my bed). It´s really interesting how different DMT affects different people. My plans are to make changa and pharmahuasca, play around with mao inhibitors and try different vaping methods. What are your favorite/ most successful vaping methods for vaping DMT? And what do you guys think about my experinces? Has anyone had similar ones? Any other tips? It´s really hard/impossible to describe these experiences but I tried my best. Forgive me for my not so perfect english-skills.

Previous topics here and here. An explorer, huh. A journey is an expedition into the unknown. I've been noticing on my metaphysical - and especially physical journeys - that the only time I, the ego, truly appreciate something, is when I lose it, when I distance from it, when I separate myself. The other day I was on a mountain hike, sleeping in a random field far away from everything. And did homeostasis kick in. I felt sad for all the things I didn't say, didn't do, for not living 100% authentically. That's okay, though. Feeling that way is a part of the explorer's journey. I felt deeper into the emotions. It may seem strange to venture out only to appreciate what you already have, but that's how it is. I also became aware how much Spiral Dynamics has been useful to my life and that it is one of the most practical models. Here are ways it can be used in, and it took me merely 5 minutes: Explain to a person why we are different Give a ground to reality, but in a healthy way Show that all grounds are imaginary Clarify historical events and why seemingly alien rules were once necessary Hear a person speak for 5 minutes and instantly acknowledge where they stand Help make life decisions, whether it's choosing a career or a teacher, based on their level on Spiral Dynamics Solve arguments by understanding where one's coming from Evaluate where you stand and what your needs are right now And I could be here for hours expanding the list. The point is I have a strong social intelligence, and I can predict very easily how someone will behave. I also love giving lectures. Giving out is a part of the explorer's journey, although I dismissed that part here in the first original topic. Since October I had insights and I'm more observant about that every ground I try to stand on soon falls. It seems I'm switching between these hermit and teacher stances, it's like mood swings, and I'm not sure what to do.

The points I'll be making here might seem outrageous and another new age vegan propaganda. But I welcome you to look at your waking state (dream A) and dream state (dream B) to come to your conclusions. I am deliberately calling both waking and dreaming as dream states, a footnote about it might be in the end. a) The Waking State (aka Dream A) 1) Time is the dominant container element which creates the 'realness' of waking state reality. Your life, is nothing but the elaborate back story that is formulated in time. It comes up as the 1st nucleus after waking up from sleep and the entire universe and all your knowledge, rationality, personality etc rearrange themselves around this nucleus to make sense of it all. You can visit many places but it is time aka your identity with a back story of who you are defines everything else and what experience you are having in this waking state. 2) Space is the limited container of waking state. No matter how large the waking world seems or how fast you move; you are always stuck 'here' in your 'body' more or less. You can look at the infinite sky or ride a fast airplane; but still you only feel the realness of being here. It is spatially limited. 3) You have a 'time' memory. Look at any memory of you from past or any imagination of future. It never feels alien to you, because you OWN it all as your own life. b) The Dream State (aka Dream B) 1) Space is the dominant container element which creates the dreamscape in which the entirety of dream occurs. In the dream state, that space of dreamscape dominates the entirety of that particular dream. The dream space is the nucleus which defines the rest of dream experience and how you will see them and what your relationship with them will be. 2) Time is the limited container of dream state. There is no 'backstory' in any dream. Dream experience is strictly limited to NOW. It is not the past/future time rationalization but strictly the dream space which dictates the dream experience and who you are in that dream. It is temporally limited. 3) You have a 'space' memory. Have you noticed that no matter which dream space you wake up in, you always sort of own it and adjust with it aka start playing by it's rules? Its as if you have a vast dream library in your 'space' memory and each book/dream you open; you play along with it; it doesn't feel alien to you. In conclusion, both waking and dreaming are dreams. Built with different mechanism and experienced differently; but nevertheless they fall in the same category. Like apple and orange, they look and taste different but both are fruits and experienced through same channel (taste). So there are only 2 states, one of which doesn't exist. Duality and Nonduality Or Dreams and Woke(absence of dreams)

I’ll bite. My employer is a contractor with the US government. Our top-of-the-line, classified technological stuff is nowhere near the alien stuff you see in movies. I mean it’s very good, the best in the world, but Star Trek teleportation is scientifically impossible, and many of the other things presented in movies are the stuff of fiction. And don’t get me started on Gaia.TV ? If we had access to amazing alien technology, we’d be using it to kill other humans, guaranteed. Since we’re still dependent on current human levels of knowledge, I’d say there are no alien contracts. As an aside, most UFOs are classified aircraft in development. It’s easier on us for the masses to say “Aliens!” so we just roll with it.

How to beat evil Be as strong and fortified as you can Pre-emptive reasoning Know beforehand how it's going to impact Use Astrology Use prayer beads Exorcise the house Rebuke the dem forces. Tell it that it's not going to win Threats The dem is stubborn Allow minimum damage There are forms of problems or suffering Physical Mental Spiritual or Poltergeistic Spiritual crisis is different from spiritual problems or paranormal problems. Paranormal problems are of a different nature. Examples of these Excessive depression without cause Constant bad luck Feeling of being hounded by negativity Sleep issues Restlessness Mysterious deaths Abusive environment Past history of sexual abuse Use of ouija boards Contact with mediums Not wanting to be close to any God or religious imagery Not wanting to pray Extreme stubbornness or resistance to solutions. Poltergeistic activities Generational curses Frequent deaths Past karma of bad actions Alien encounters Unexplained events Constant sabotage Constant distraction that doesn't feel natural.

Yeah, I have a HUGE EGO. I want to become an alien. I'm tired of being a monkey.

Why don't you focus on your senses instead of concepts, theories? If you want to evolve from a monkey to an alien, then explore this world and understand the mechanisms behind the illusion. If you want ego death and let existence be, then let it be. Personally, I'd rather admit that I know nothing. Don't fall into the "I know everything" trap.

Yea so dangerous these ideas.. God knows what the OP is capable of with thoughts like these! .. I believe our primary source of "alien" knowledge/technology comes from spirit channeling/communication. It's multi dimensional. We're being distracted with all this flying saucer stuff.

Understanding this is really good to see how little control one ultimately has. You didn't make your body, hair, clothes, bed, house, wood, air, friends, electrical systems etc. And yet it claims you can do anything your little ego bunk head wants if it thinks the right way. Even in theory if you could, just simply what is your experience, you make it all yourself? Ya dumb fuck. Sorry, felt funny to say, I totally believed this show myself for years, huge fan, owned the bashar forum and all, and even years after studying real spirituality directly, and proper intellectual understanding, I still didn't realize how off big pappy alien was though I didn't pay much attention later to it, but realized later on review the wrongness and negative impact it had me at the time when I first started, which was psychotic, I just wrote that off to 'well must have been the mushroom trip, father passing, and some weird experience', but seeing that teaching in detail again made me realize how plain false it was in some regard, and how unbalancing absorbing that information constantly was for me, he speaks it like a real authority as well, it's quite a modern day scandal I would say, or modern, it has been going on for 30+ years even. I guess that shows the power of confidence and authority, group think. And trust, and wanting to put someone on a perfect pedestal leader. And he actually succeeded, he is still regarded as a high figure in the spiritual scene I think, most watched figure on BATGP, it's not all bad though but it can actually kind of fuck up the vulnerable kind. As having a good teacher is like the best thing that could happen to you, so the reverse could be said to be true for shitty teachers, even if they are partly amazing. Ralston's new video fits perfectly

@Average Investor yeah, I'm mostly happy with what I do these days, because I'm always trying to change my working environment in ways that helps me to optimise my performance, and I'm usually successful in that. But at the same time, I feel myself constrained and not understood by my peers. I often feel like an alien: I can't make my visions and actions accepted, or at least understood despite the fact I'm told to be an excellent communicator. Maybe all I need is a new environment, a new set of coworkers, or start having my own clients?

On one hand I like a lot of her content, although I dont watch much anymore, I liked her stuff about defragmentation, and she has a lot of good content. On the other she has a vibe like an alien that learnt how to be a human. I'm not sure if it's her delivery or what, she also seems to have a cultish type feel to her, I wouldn't put her in the class of top tier gurus but I can see how she could help people. Infinite waters on the other hand is basically an actor, doesn't seem authentic at all -

This is sleep paralysis and the vibrational stage that proceeds astral projection. You can train your mind to help you project from that position you were in of the trembling/vibrations, so when you try to move, instead of being stuck, you will move, literally get up out of your body with an astral body, pretty much like a ghost body. And you will be out, in another sort of realm. Like a more subtle dream like version of this world. You can fly you can go anywhere your mind can muster up once you’ve got the hang of it. You can also end up places you don’t really fancy being at all. Can be quite disturbing at first as you will encounter entities, human like, alien like, all sorts of weird things. It’s amazing what you find you hold in your subconscious. And all’s this whilst laying in your bed a sleep. Very much like lucid dreaming but there’s a different feel about it, it’s hard to describe. This can feel ultimately real, as real as your everyday waking life, but a bit more dreamy. As real as it seems though, it is all just still imagination, projection of your own mind. But a very interesting one to say the least, and you can do it all without the use of psychedelics or any substance, just by going to sleep but learning how to remain aware. I spent about a year exploring this state of consciousness, very intriguing. But what I found was that people seem to get stuck on the idea, and the way it manifests seems to trick those that do it that this is their destination when they die. I’ve come to realise that this is not the case, and is just more projection, of this particular life your living right now. Great fun nonetheless though I’d advise anyone to have a pop at it. If interested I used ryan croppers techniques to get me there I found on YouTube if that’s any use to you, and it took me about a month to 6 weeks to nail it before I had my first experience. I won’t lie I shit myself at first, but then it became a great experience as I worked out the ins and outs of what was actually going on. Now I don’t try, it’ll just happen spontaneously from time to time I’m not fussed about it anymore, but I make the most of it if it does happen. It’s an area of consciousness that’s interesting, but your not going to get to the depths of reality through it, that’s far and away beyond astral projection

I see only reason they would be hiding these technologies is because the people could be in control which would be a threat to our government. We could create free sustainable energy and be actually be Free. Money wouldn’t be an issue and we wouldn’t need an economy. Steven Greer is totally on to something with his alien contact method, he’s totally bringing evidence to this topic which is indeed we need. Sometimes I totally believe the government has a treaty with the aliens. I don’t see why they haven’t showed themselves more lol.

Hi DrewNows. I agree, we don't know anything for certain which is why we need to both keep ourselves open, but remain healthily skeptical, or we are putting ourselves, on all levels, at risk of being taken advantage of. Spiritual abuse is one of the most harmful forms of abuse and happens only when trusting people put their faith completely in a guru who drops incredible truth bombs and has likely awoken his kundalini, but still has a large shadow he cannot see. The same can be said for putting your belief wholesale in a political ideology, a religious leader, a channeller who charges astronomical sums of money for "truth" from ""a multi-dimensional extra-terrestrial being" (with a PayPal account)," https://skeptoid.com/blog/2014/01/19/everything-you-need-to-know-about-paul-ankas-cousin-and-his-multi-dimensional-alien-friend/ As soon as you believe fully, you become closed to other possibilities and this can be very harmful in myriad ways, especially if you are vulnerable.

I mean, if you can love things, then that's great, but what do you need a teaching for how to live then? He says, do what you like, don't worry about the outcome, and life will support you (cuz trust me, I am an alien from the future).. jfc.. Anyways, not to mention it's quite naive, it also implies a sort of gain from experience. 'Do this!! Very important!!! And don't expect anything! Then it will work!!' If you don't expect anything, what needs to work, for what? Why do anything? It's a mess of a teaching, it has typically good spiritual info also, but it's largely raving mad based on spiritual materialism and special experience of 'higher beings' and 'a better future', (if you act well), it's typical religion in that sense actually. And ye, I watched and experienced and experimented with it for years. It looks cool and blew my mind because it has some truth, that's what makes this ordeal kind of dangerous actually, it's a mix of the good and the bad with a loud mouth 'higher' authority.

Just imagine that you have no body and seeing as you seeing now. You will have become all place as nothing. Alien, mirror, your body all identical. When you look at the mirror, your mom, alien or chair, you are looking at yourself.

When I'm looking in the mirror, I see an alien on the other side. It stares into my eyes and makes similar movements. Yet we can't shake hands. Is that my image or there's some weird entity trapped on the other side of the mirror?

Biggest Fears and Resistance's that came up during this morning's 20 breath-focused attempted meditation: Future imagined suffering and daily hardships in a probable low wage and toxic culture work environment where I would feel lonely and isolated - since I am now going to lose my state-financed student privilege along with it my deceased mother's pension benefits, which kept me for working and allowed me just to coast on being a disciplined and committed student (of passing the necessary exam quota's in order to keep being financed by the state and keep these pension benefits) which was the only secondary source of income apart from my father's hard work (I worry also a lot that he is slowly getting too old (58 years old), unhealthier physically (a bit obese) and more neurotic and oversensitive and handicapped psychologically for stress tolerance and the workloads he has taken upon him self at the private foreign language school as teacher of basics in English and German (often strong anger and stress outburst directed towards me if I made mistake with a chore or my perceived state of passivity, inaction, fatalism and depression during the pandemic crisis peek here and my confused state about my plans and actions for the future now). The fear and doubt is that he can't keep being the sole breadwinner anymore in the upcoming months or few years (depending), and my fear and dread is that while I was procrastinating and avoiding this possible future with distractions, fantasizing, entertainment and pleasure on and off while not being consistent in building a work discipline, tests, and risks with some work experience (as a bartender for example once) to toughen for tough times or securing through the necessary exam quota the family pension through the state-financed status, that burden will fall solely on my shoulders to work and provide for us two (my father might though soon receive a sort of retirement family pension guarantee, we will have to see it's still in the not known) - and that I am grossly unprepared both mentally and physically for that radical change of life experience, style, and organization requirements of working low wage physically and mental concentration and focus demanding job and being able to have the willpower, discipline and organization to study and go to faculty as well. These are my fears of the imagined closed future and regrets for the constant ignoring and my distraction with entertainment, escape to a fantasy land (living soon in Canada, YT) to avoid it and accept the difficulties and change required for it in order to keep the lifestyle at my apartment that I have. -I will see to correct this Grammarly and write it more coherently, I have written this in a hurry to write out my repetitive thought patterns of worry and fear of the drastically perceived life future that keep coming up when I sit down to meditate in the morning. The Canada travel thing not happening anywhere in the near future, that I am just fantasizing and getting confirmation bias by my father who is fantasizing of retiring there as well. being alien and isolated from my own's country's culture, values, and worldviews imagined and expected fear of that close uncertain work environment and disciplined life organizing future, that paralyzes me to plan ahead for actions and to keep in mind, staying focused and concentrated on daily habits (that are in the present, regarding studying and helping other people and accomplishing tasks of favors family and other people asked me to do) of commitments I had planned in advance thought patterns of anxiety and fear over the radical requirement and sacrifice of reorganizing and disciplining my life and mind in the unknown workspace and the fear of the time spent there fitting in and being able to have basic solidarity with colleagues thought patterns of deep hatred and dismissiveness towards the culture and people in this country and where I will maybe be working (very patriarchal, order and command-oriented, judgemental, oriented towards physical strength, brash, etc. I know a lot of people who are very kind, nice and forgiving of employee mistakes, but I am projecting the worst-case scenarios which I fear I might encounter and experience for a long period in the future physical labor workplace) fears over possible mistakes (I am not very physically skillful, concentrated, and precise and I am kinda clumsy and slow to respond with my movements) I will be making and the different sleep schedules I will be needing for a physically demanding work environment. I have written this to get out all the thoughts and fear-based feelings that have been plaguing me and kept coming up during my meditation and in my daily thinking and assessment about my near (I expect) future.

@traveler dont fall into the trap of believing that is actually nothing. That, even though it is such an alien experience we humans consider it nothing, there is still an experience there, you need to recognize that. If you had a true experience of nothing how would you know. You couldn't because its absolutely nothing. You can't even know that you experienced it.

In his Conscious Politics series Leo talks about promotion and creation of a singular world government as part of his policy ideas, and it's been something I've been mulling over for the last while. Like many people I used to think such an idea was just a pie-in-the-sky fantasy that sounds nice on paper but ultimately wouldn't work and would cause more problems than it solves, but as I've been increasing my consciousness and looking at world issues on a deeper level, I've come to see the wisdom in such an idea. Think about it - as we move forward in the 21st century, the processes of globalisation, technology, immigration and so on are only going to increase, not decrease. Yes there will be obvious backlashes to these things, as we've already seen to some extent, but the conditions are such that the set-up for increasing global integration is more or less inevitable at this point. Plus, the collective issues the world faces - climate change, income inequality, national tensions - need to have broad, inter-national co-operation in order to solve, not just local governments trying to fix these things piecemeal. Not only that, but, based on what I've observed, a unified "global culture" is already starting to emerge, depending on the places you live and the people you interact with. You could meet, for instance, a woman born in India, raised in Spain, educated in the UK and now living with a Japanese husband in the US, and it will feel completely natural. The old idea of "solid," distinct nation-states that served humanity in the 19th and 20th centuries is starting to lose its cultural hegemony, IMO. So then let's talk about the benefits of increasing government integration between nations. If nations start to come together and operate in a more unified manner, the ability to distribute resources where they're needed will increase massively. For instance, if Canada and the US unite, you could drastically improve the health standards in Alberta by getting rid of the expensive taxes on imported medical technology from the US, which would do a lot to reduce the rates of cancer, heart disease, and so on in that province. Or if France and Germany united, then access to well-built German electric cars would improve dramatically for French drivers, which would do a lot to reduce emissions for France. Plus, if we are to get serious about space travel and colonising other planets, then the only realistic way to do that would be to have as much co-operation between countries as possible, and to share the most amount of resources, time, expertise, etc. possible, because such an undertaking will require these things on a level that a single nation alone wouldn't be able to accomplish. Another benefit would be the obvious reduced risk of war and conflict between nations. If, say, eventually India and Pakistan unite, then the threat of armed conflict between those two countries - as well as the endless blaming each other from both sides, and all the cultural tensions that exist between them - would disappear, as instead arguments over land and resources become mediated through the unified India-Pakistan authority, rather than through trying to negotiate between two different authorities. Of course there are downsides to this too. As national identity is still a key part of most people's psyches, telling people that they will now live in a nation with people who (for the time being) have a distinct language and culture to them won't go over well with a lot of people. Plus, the fact of the matter is that distinct local cultures will be hurt by this - for instance, using the France-Germany scenario, French people will begin to see more German beer, more German words, more German songs in the places they live, and in Germany people will begin to see more French wine, French words, French songs and so on. The ideas of "Frenchness" and "Germanness" would get muddied, and for a lot of people that will seem very alien and confusing, especially in the short term. But the benefits of this over the long-term would be that people begin to feel a sense of connectedness with people they previously didn't - after 50 years of France and Germany being one country, a person born to French parents would no longer see a person born to German parents as an "other", and would at that point probably share the same values, ideas, and even language (a French-German hybrid.) Plus, the two cultures coming together would create benefits too - Germans would learn to appreciate taking life easy and leisurely from French people, and French people would learn punctuality and industriousness from the Germans, which would improve the lives of both peoples. Or, to put it in other words, this new French-German synthesis would be greater than the sum of its parts. Now, obviously such ideas are still relatively far off in the future from happening in real life, but I think for us here at Actualized.org it's a good thing to start thinking about, since it'll help us clearly navigate the direction the world is headed. Prior to WW1 and 2, the idea of an international organisation that works to prevent wars and promote harmony wouldn't have been possible - the two most powerful countries in the world before this - the British Empire and the Germany Empire - would have never agreed to solve their disputes through an impartial international organistion, especially since they had such great success previously using force of arms instead, and the result was the two most destructive wars in human history. But then, the UN was created, and the mechanisms it utilises has helped prevent the two newest most powerful countries on the planet - the USA and the USSR - from going to war with each other. Instead, the UN helped the USA and USSR resolve its disputes diplomatically instead of military, and ended up presiding over the most peaceful and prosperous time in human history (despite some wars in hotspot regions during this time.) So if a Unified World Government seems unlikely or impractical, then just remember so did the UN, and the massive period of peace and prosperity it created. Yes, there will be problems with greater international integration, and no one is saying it will be an easy or straightforward process, but for the sake of humanity's long-term evolution and consciousness, I think it's actually one of the most realistic and practical things we can help create. What is everyone's thoughts on this?
