This is brilliant. I just learned of Damascius. This dude knew God.
"Damascius inquires into the first principle of all things, which he finds to be an unfathomable and unspeakable divine depth, being all in one, but undivided. His main result is that God is infinite, and as such, incomprehensible; that his attributes of goodness, knowledge and power are credited to him only by inference from their effects; that this inference is logically valid and sufficient for human thought. He insists throughout on the unity and the indivisibility of God." — Wikipedia
Note: this part, "his attributes of goodness, knowledge and power are credited to him only by inference from their effects", is incorrect. God's Goodness, Omniscience, and Omnipotence can and must be realized through direct consciousness, not merely by inference from their effects. You can become directly conscious of these attributes of God.
This is the spiritual bankruptcy of South Korean stage Orange culture. Like a bunch of sheep.
This is why you must question society and humanity, rather than following along. The entire social domain is an illusion that will make you sick, even if you succeed in it. Success is still failure because the whole thing is devoid of truth, love, and consciousness — what really matters.
Note: If you do salvia please be extremely careful because you can lose motor control and really injure yourself. Do not do it alone. Salvia is one of the most terrifying chemicals you can take and high doses are likely to leave you with PTSD. However, salvia is one of the best tools for showing you that all human ideas about reality, consciousness, and spirituality are childish nonsense. Salvia reveals the non-human nature of consciousness. My teachings and framework accounts for and explains the empirical data of salvia. Salvia pushes any paradigm to its breaking point. That is its utility. If your worldview cannot explain what happens on salvia, your worldview is not serious.
This is a lesson in the corrupting force of fame, ambition, and success.
I'd like you to see the corruption of this entire story, the entire dynamic, not just a single guy. The entire pop-star social system — the stars, the producers, the business-people, the corporations, the media, and even the fans — it's all corruption. Try to see it that way.
I'd like you to see that corruption is a much deeper thing than a dirty politician taking bribes under the table. Start seeing corruption as a wrong orientation of the mind towards reality. For example, when the mind is so focused on fame and success that it doesn't even make time to rest. Why does that happen? Why is there this whole sick social system for turning teens into giga-famous pop-stars? Why does that exist? Would conscious minds create or participate in such a system?
Note: This is not a post about judging Justin Bieber. This is a broader lesson in how the mind is lead astray from living properly, and its consequences. Is endless ambition for fame and success the proper way to live? This is an issue of life priorities. Why is fame and pop music prioritized over philosophy, truth, health, and consciousness?
You have to ask yourself, Why does a mind want to become a pop-star in the first place? What is wrong with that kind of mind, with that kind of life, with that kind of attitude? And then notice how religion gets brought in as a band-aid on top of that festering wound. You live like an animal, then you turn to Jesus to save you.
