@gengar I didn't say he was lying.

I've told you many times that no one is immune to self-deception and corruption. You will learn that lesson the hard way.

Okay. Seems sloppy epistemology to assume that someone who claims to have cured a chronic lifelong ailment in one sitting due to his guru is merely self-deceived and not lying, since the claim is so outrageous. But who knows.

I didn't say his story is false. I said it is not a scientifically valid claim and worth doubting.

We don't really know what caused his health to improve. You are jumping to conclusions about him lying. These issues are not as black and white as you want them to be.

Fair.

@gengar Only God surpasses all standards, any finite thing will be a limited part playing in the overall perfection of God, every figment of Reality fits in each other like a tesselation, what one lacks the other is abundant in, you cannot ask a part what only Infinity can give.

I’ve always said that 25 is the threshold age. I’ve debated it with a lot of people, and over time it just keeps feeling accurate.

I started experimenting at 24 and had my first real LSD experience at 25. Even with a lot of prior contemplation, it was still difficult to integrate. And no, I don’t think anyone younger than that can truly integrate those experiences in a meaningful way.

I keep seeing the same pattern. I’ve never seen anyone under 25 who can take those states and actually weave them into their daily life in a stable, growth-oriented way.

Yeah, that sorta go with the moment the brain reaches peak development. Before then you only chase shiny objects.

What are the benefits, just baseline consciousness, or also less anxiety and clearer thinking and the like?

I feel like a different person from 4 months ago, when I started doing it. I really began to notice the shift when I stopped smoking weed, which I'm pretty sure kriya helped me do btw. I think a lot less, and the thoughts I do have seem a lot more useful , that seems like the biggest shift . I can witness my mind. Less baseline anxiety but more anxiety when subconscious material comes to the surface, but that's just part of the healing process.

I don’t mean to brag or be disrespectful, just sharing. but the last insight about names and surnames you shared @Leo Gura, is something that I learned in elementary (primary?) school in Italy. 
it made me surprised that people don’t know about that.

many people have surnames based also on a specific job that their ancestors had. I’m a guitarist and I’m now playing a piece from a composer named Craeywanger, in Dutch that name means crow hunter. There are thousands of names based on different jobs

>> quote 549

that's insane. I really had to hear your critique of skepticism for 50 times to start seeing what it entails. I really thought I'm somehow above this, but no, there is still something new for me that I've neglected for a long time. Thanks

[LoneWonderer]

Sending my thanks here once again to our man Leo here for all his incredible work. The fact we've got all this for free is completely mind boggling. We are truly spoiled and blessed at the same time! 🙏

Why are they considered brainwashed? What is the difference between their cult and our delusions about reality?
Why is it wrong when they do a lot of cultist shit but cool when we go around fucking people in clubs?
think about it, if a monk for life, untouched by modernity saw you, wouldn't he think you are a big cultist too.
Of course I understand that the merman shit is false and abusive but that's too obvious.
true spirituality lies not in pointing the falseness of lesser beings but in constantly improving yourself.

[Leo Gura]

@Stick Watch the documentary and see for yourself.

I don't share these sources with you for moral outrage. I share them as case studies in epistemology.

I am less of a cultist than the monk you are speaking of.

Nothing inherently wrong with going to a nightclub/party.

How is it possible for a bag of meat and bones to ask the question "what am I"? Animal's don't contemplate their own existence. This is crazier than you may think, for an organism to wonder what it is and to notice the weirdness and absurdity to ask that is the mystery.
