Truth is purity. Truth wipes away all corruption because Truth is Nothing. If Truth were something it could be corrupted. Do you see the genius of it? Truth is Nothing so that it is incorruptible. Truth is so important God made Truth untouchable. Satan himself cannot touch Truth. That’s how deep Truth is. Purity is baked into the ontology of existence. Nothing can corrupt God because nothing can touch God because God is Nothing. If you try to fling shit at God, it literally has nothing to stick to, so God remains absolutely clean. That’s the beauty of God's design.
If reality was not structured this way, over time eventually everything would get so corrupt that the universe would turn into a grotesque abomination, a monstrous sphere of unimaginable corruption that would fly apart from incoherence and disorder. The purity of Truth is the mechanism by which all corruption, all evil, is cleansed from the system. How does God cleanse corruption? By annihilating you along with your corruption inside itself. You die and become Nothing. This wipes the slate clean of your bad habits and evil ways, healing you in perfect wholeness. When you die you are reabsorbed into God, into an infinite ocean of Love that annihilates everything, including of course your sense of self. You become annihilation itself. You are the very corruption that needs to be cleansed in order for the Universe to maintain its health. When you die, you become Infinite Truth. From this place of perfect purity you can be reborn as an innocent child, ready to get corrupted all over again. Death is God’s washing machine for dirty minds. Your mind gets dirty enough, God kills you, washes you in Infinite Truth, then throws you back into the game. In this way God’s purity remains Eternal and the fly-wheel can keep turning forever.
Nothing ever touches the Source except Nothing itself. This ensures that God remains eternally spotless. Pure Infinite Truth.
Truth is the ocean in which all corruption eventually drowns. No one can outrun truth. But, you're certainly going to try.
Note: Any time I speak about death, nothing I say implies that you should physically harm yourself. Your life is a miracle. Don't throw it away. If you have suicidal thoughts please work with a therapist to get support and relief.
The only reason you don’t see God right now is because you are in the wrong state of consciousness. If your state changed, you would see God all around you within 5 seconds. God would bathe you in its radiance like the sun on a bright summer day. You would be surrounded by God in every direction. You are already surrounded, you’re just in such a low state you cannot recognize it. It’s not your fault — there is nothing you can do because your state is simply inadequate. No amount of thinking or trying will help you from within your current state. Your state makes recognition of God impossible. It's like you're trying to do advanced mathematics while drunk. That won't work. More effort will not make it work, it will just make you frustrated. This is why sitting and thinking about God does not reveal God. This is why no proof, argument, logic, or evidence is enough to reach God. Your state is wrong and no amount of thinking, reading, or proof is enough to change your state. Thinking does not change state enough no matter how hard you think. Proof does not change state. Reading books does not change state. To understand God requires radically changing your state. That’s the missing key.
Thinking is also not the problem. If you were in the right state, thinking would actually improve your understanding and recognition of God. Thinking is only a problem to the extent that it distracts you from changing your state. In the wrong state, thinking is incapable of reaching God. But in the right state, thinking is capable of reaching God. It is wrong when nondualists tell you that you cannot think your way to God or Truth. You certainly can and must think about God/Truth — but only from the right state. First reach the right state, then think. Then your thinking will be effective and illuminating. Thinking is also useful after the fact to help you integrate your higher state experiences.
It is impossible to understand the things I teach without radically changing your state. If something I say sounds crazy, that's because you're thinking about it from the wrong state so it does not compute. The #1 mistake of all human intellectual activity is to overlook the primacy of state in understanding. Reality simply cannot be understood from the default human state. It’s completely impossible. Yet no intellectual recognizes this. The only thing stopping you is your state. If you aren’t in the right state, none of your effort will matter. It’s not about effort, it’s about state! The dirty secret is: state > effort. If you were in the right state you would need zero effort. And if you are in the wrong state no amount of effort will work. This is why you cannot think your way into Awakening. This is the #1 most important thing nondualists and spiritual gurus do not tell you. They keep wasting your time trying to get you to understand things you will never understand because you are in the wrong state. In this way these teachers waste decades of your life, getting you to chase your own tail in endless frustration, confusion, and disappointment. It’s not your fault. You are just in the wrong state. You are wasting years trying to do the impossible. Stop listening to gurus and figure out how to change your state. Spiritual effort is important but that effort needs to primarily go towards changing your state, otherwise it will not be effective.
It took me a decade of frustration to understand this. No one was good enough to explain this properly to me, in fact, they gaslit me by telling me that state doesn't matter.
This is the first thing that should be told to every spiritual aspirant.
The reason that long, hardcore meditation retreats work is because they are one of the few things that change your state. If you meditate all day long for two weeks straight, you will enter a new state. From this state God can easily dawn on you. But people are too distracted and unserious to do this.
The self-inquiry technique is virtually useless unless you are in the right state. If self-inquiry is not working for you, now you know why. Change your state first, then do self-inquiry. Self-inquiry should really only be done at the end of a 10 day meditation retreat. Then it's effective because you are in a ripe state.
I think Zen koans are a stupid way of going about Awakening, but in the rare occasions where they work, it's because the monk is in the right state from days and weeks of meditation. But a Zen koan in the default human state is completely useless.
All of spirituality can be boiled down to techniques for changing your state. Any spirituality that doesn't place change of state as central will be ineffective and delusional.
This guy claims to have used a group of people with remote viewing abilities to find ancient archaeological ruins and artifacts. Which gives me a cool business idea: using remote viewing to find rare dinosaur fossils. If you assemble of group of talented remote viewers you should be able to use them to make millions of dollars finding dinosaur fossils. A single complete T-Rex skeleton could fetch you $5 million. Imagine if you made such a business!
Be creative with your business ideas.

Found this for sale at auction. It's Chinese.
Should I buy it?
This is perfect for serving your girlfriend a beverage when she comes over for a dinner date :D
I decided to buy an e-scooter so I have more reason to be outdoors.
I've never had a scooter before. This thing is really cool. It's electric, it's silent, it has a range of 25 miles, and it can go 20 mph.
Great purchase. I recommend this model. I researched various models before I found this one. It's got all the necessary features like air tires, shock absorbers, night lights, cruise control, dual breaks — and it just works. For a great price.
It's quite fun to ride. It's a good outdoor activity as long as you don't crash.
Be careful. It goes pretty fast and it's quite dangerous if you get sloppy. Wear a helmet, proper shoes, and gloves.
