I messaged him once on Twitter. He was not too interested in interviewing me.

The brain cannot hallucinate. The brain is a hallucination.

Because I'm more intelligent than anyone I would interview. I can't be bothered to listen to people's bullshit.

Don't you think Alien Consciousness should lead to more love and understanding of regular stupid humans?

Would you consider RA from the Law Of One Material (assuming it is legit) an alien inteligence?

I do have more understanding of regular people however I have to balance that with not allowing them to corrupt my mind with bad ideas.

Also, it's just a phase you go through. You start out life generally loving mankind, then you go deep into spirituality and you actually start to hate mankind for all its lies and bullshit, then you integrate that and come out the other end with a true capacity to love mankind.

Can't say since it's just some story in a book. Who knows what's true in that book and what is made up?

@Leo Gura How do you know all these things you're experiencing are not just hallucinations from the psychedelics, pure junk? How do you know it's something valuable, another awakening, 'Alien intelligence' etc etc.? How do you verify that?

Certainly this forum is 50% junk, so be choosy. This is not a forum problem, this is a human problem.

Consciousness is self-validating.

You cannot ask someone to verify your existence for you. You can ONLY do that yourself. At some point in your life you have to stop asking others what the truth is and trust yourself instead. There is no reason why others would be more trustworthy than yourself. You are missing this insight. Because you have been trained to run off group-think. AWAKENING requires stopping group-think.

For sure. I used to berate myself persistently for not living life the “right” way. Now, the more I allow myself to break “the rules” (intentionally or unintentionally), the more beauty life presents onto itself.

It’s like God trolls itself into Awakening.

More like GOD learns to trust its own soveriegnty.

Again, think about it this way: If GOD really existed, who would GOD ask to tell him that he's GOD? Obviously he could only ask himself. It makes no fucking sense for GOD to ask some lesser being to validate his Godhood. Because if GOD cannot know it's GOD, certainly no lesser being can.

How about conducting a democratic poll with all the lesser beings? That should add up to something bigger.

So if you asked 1000 baboons whether you exist, and 501 of them told you No, you would cease to exist?

Behold the absurdity of your theory.

Dude it's a joke. Why would God be interested in democracy?
