DON’T BIOHACK FROM LACK<\/p>\n

Most biohackers into nootropics (smart drugs) have Enneagram 5 in their Tritype (the introverted mental personality type), and they biohack because they attach a significant portion of their self-worth to their intellect.
\nIf this is you, or you know someone like this, let it be known that you are already smart enough to accomplish your goals, be respected by your peers, and be loved by another.
\nDon’t biohack from lack.
\nYou are already enough.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INVISIBLE SPIRITUAL TECHNOLOGY<\/p>\n

If your iPhone can wirelessly send music into your headphones from across your house,
\nDo you really think the Creator doesn\u2019t already have even better invisible technology to whisper in your ear?<\/p>\n

GOING TO THE DENTIST AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE<\/p>\n

The dentist is a great place to practice Emptiness of Sensation.
\nThe meditation is to see all sense objects arising in the field of awareness, independent of an arising sense of self and to locate the spaciousness of all pain, dissolving its ordinary concrete form, attached to an illusory identity.
\nVoila.
\nAnd that is an example of how to use any seemingly unpleasant event for the Transformation of Consciousness.<\/p>\n

ARE YOU FAT, OVERWEIGHT OR WANT TO GET IN BETTER SHAPE? RAISE YOUR STANDARDS<\/p>\n

\u201cOur bodies are a reflection of our physical standards.
\nThey are not a reflection of our desires.
\nMost people have a desire for more energy or a better body.
\n[But] We don\u2019t get our goals [or our desires] we get our \u2018Musts\u2019.
\n– Tony Robbins
\nThus if you are Fat, Overweight or just want to get in Better Shape\u2026
\nRaise Your Standards.
\nAnd Stop Making Excuses.
\nInstead, Make a Commitment.
\nAnd no fucking Cheat Days.
\nAs I\u2019ve said before, Cheat Days are for Wimps.
\nYou have to be 100% Committed to your Goals.
\nAny slack you leave yourself will expand, multiply and fester until IT WINS and you FAIL.
\n\u201cIf you want to take the fucking island then burn your fucking boats,
\nAnd you will take the island.
\nBecause when people are either going to die or succeed, they tend to succeed.
\nBut most of us give ourselves a way out and that\u2019s why we don\u2019t have what we want.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Tony Robbins<\/p>\n

SEEKING THOUGHTS ON CHANNELED SYSTEMS<\/p>\n

What is your opinion on channeled systems?<\/p>\n

What channeled systems have you studied and found the most powerful? What is the role of the channeler and their psychological healthiness or spiritual depth?<\/p>\n

What are the pros and cons of a channeler who lacks the modulating function of a lineage?<\/p>\n

How do you sort through and integrate the truths and differentiate the distortions?<\/p>\n

How do you think about channeled systems epistemologically, if at all?<\/p>\n

Do you consider yourself to be a channeler? How much? How much is conscious vs. unconscious? Is channeling something everybody does and they just don’t realize it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

THE NON-DUALITY OF THE EVERYTHING AND THE NOTHING<\/p>\n

Deep down most people are incredibly attached to the idea that either:<\/p>\n

Everything matters<\/p>\n

Or<\/p>\n

Nothing matters<\/p>\n

The Divine Truth is that both are True.<\/p>\n

And until you are completely comfortable with that non-duality you will never be truly Alive, Empowered and Free.<\/p>\n

“TOO ACADEMIC…TOO MENTALLY WEAK”<\/p>\n

Often when people in the business world criticize something as being ‘too academic’ what they’re really saying is,<\/p>\n

“I’m not smart enough or committed enough to learn a new set of concepts well enough to apply it to my circumstances.”<\/p>\n

Remember as Einstein said, “Make things as simple as possible but no simpler”.<\/p>\n

And that there is great power in mastering the complex, so that you may wield the cutting clarity of its illumination to vanquish the tasks that lie before you.<\/p>\n

“Precision beats power and timing beats speed.” – Conor Mcgregor<\/p>\n

THE ROOTS OF SUFFERING<\/p>\n

The roots of suffering are not the traumatic events that happened to you.<\/p>\n

The roots of suffering are the beliefs you formed when traumatic events happened to you.<\/p>\n

Uncover these often deeply unconscious beliefs like, “the world is not safe”, “I deserved it”, “I was victimized” or “I’m not good enough”,<\/p>\n

…and you will have the opportunity to dissolve and transform these beliefs, alleviating your suffering.<\/p>\n

ON HEALING<\/p>\n

I know lots of people spending exorbitant amounts of time, energy and money on healing.<\/p>\n

Yet I know very few people who consider themselves healed.<\/p>\n

Is anyone else thinking,<\/p>\n

“Something is efficaciously wrong here..<\/p>\n

With such a low return on investment maybe people are going about healing the wrong way and should find a new approach to improving their lives?\u201d<\/p>\n

MEDITATING SUCCESSFULLY<\/p>\n

Successfully meditate on the illusory nature of your self and successfully meditate on your death and you will be free to truly live.<\/p>\n

EGO-TRANSCENDENCE THROUGH PURPOSE<\/p>\n

Do you have anything you believe in strongly enough that you are willing to die for it?<\/p>\n

If not you are living within the constriction of an overly Ego centric narrative and will never truly taste the sweetest, most delightful fruits this world has to offer.<\/p>\n

ALCOHOL & CAFFEINE ARE FOR LOSERS<\/span><\/p>\n

Only losers regularly take stimulants and depressants to reach their target state of consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winners generate their target state of consciousness from within.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winners regularly supplement only with that which builds long term productive capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, I’m talking to you, you loser Caffeine and Alcohol abusers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn to become a Winner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Body and Life will thank you for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE TRANS-HUMANIST, LIFE-EXTENSIONIST, RATIONALIST FOOLS<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trans-Humanist, Life Extensionist, Rationalists have it All Wrong.
\nThe Death of the Personality is Exquisitely Beautiful, Evolutionarily Necessary and Spiritually Righteous.
\nThe Soul is Already Immortal.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

FAILING THE TEST<\/p>\n

Most of you are Failing the Test.
\nFortunately, Spirit Grants Infinite Re-Examinations.
\nRe-Applications Require Sincerity, Purity of Motive, and Indefatigable Commitment.
\nLet me know if you’d like me to put in a Good Word Upstairs.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK?<\/p>\n

How free are you in the present moment to moment?<\/p>\n

How much baggage do you carry from the past?<\/p>\n

How tight do you clench your body about your future?<\/p>\n

What is holding you back from forgiveness and release?<\/p>\n

STRESS IS CREATED IN THE MIND<\/p>\n

“Stress is not an inherent property of events themselves. It is a function of how we label and react to them.” – Bessel Van Der Kolk<\/p>\n

In other words, Stress is inversely proportional to your Self-Mastery.<\/p>\n

Master your self and stress will melt away like snowflakes being caressed by the rays of the sun.<\/p>\n

HUMAN BECOMINGS<\/p>\n

We are not only Human Beings.<\/p>\n

We are also Human Becomings.<\/p>\n

Human Becoming Beings.<\/p>\n
