"someone struggles to figure out how to make a lightbulb work, then woosh, anyone can test that lightbulbs work." That's exactly what you can do with remote viewing: test that it works for yourself. It seems like you're

So if every person were able to successfully do this but science can't explain it, what do you call that?

(EDIT: When I was going through YC and my startup phase I would have automatically down-voted this post, too. Love you all.) Skeptics: Of course there are many charlatans out there, but I'd love to understand how you justify dismissal

There IS a way to prove it--at least to yourself: learn Remote Viewing and you'll have direct experience. In the meantime, read about how the CIA has been using this non-local consciousness technology for decades: https://ww

What I love about this whole wave of social media overdosing is that during the hangover people might "look in the mirror" and try to re-find their private, inner self. I see a reversion from extrinsic focus to intrinsic focus whi

The way that non-dualists (those that see a single consciousness of which our own awareness is an aspect <-- not a great definition) approach this is from the basis that consciousness is primary and the physical manifestations that exist

Maybe, or maybe we exist within a realm that is more like a video game, where each frame is generated based on the prior state of the game plus the inputs (Thought) from every character in the game? This is what people mean when they say &q

Yeah, this wasn't a great post. What I intended to convey was that I found it interesting that some of these, at least categorically (time flexibility, detachment from self, and dream-like reality) are central to Awakening. Of course,

Any of these will get you started. These are the Amazon searches for "manifestation" and "law of attraction". https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3... https://www.a

This is the state that most of us committing our lives to spiritual practice seek to achieve. All of these overlap with symptoms of Enlightenment, although the enlightened being has conscious control over all internal processes, so they are

The bodies of knowledge and practical tools (meditation/breathing/etc) from the great spiritual traditions over many thousands of years come to exactly this conclusion: your consciousness DOES create your reality. "Control&qu

I recently discovered, which was difficult as an atheist, a huge body of work on this, under the topics "spirituality" and "philosophy". It makes so much sense now, but we've lost touch with it in our modern society

Yes! I'd say there is a little more to the "answer", but yes!

Either that or the people that are actually successful in life are doing something that the people here can't fathom. :)

YES, love this! The only point that I really disagree with is that money can buy freedom. Only enlightenment brings freedom and it can't be bought. Keep up the good work!

A more accurate title for this is "How to Be Financially Successful". I'd love for Sam to write a post called "How to Be a Successful Human" or "How to Live a Successful Life". This more important topic ha

So, a meeting of all of the most fiat-currency dependent people in the world produces a message saying that a potential alternative is going to zero. Maybe it will, but BTC is v0.1 crypto-currency and it's death will make way for whate

Yes, sorry, that was a pretty lazy post :) The most exciting thing about Stage Yellow is that it's the first stage of Tier 2, which means beings at this stage can see that there are levels before it. More details[1] What is the essenc

I don't see why anything should be done. Obesity is your body telling you that you are doing food consumption wrong. If the human that is wearing a large body in life doesn't find the awareness to recognize that they must change t

I think it's useful as a rough framework. Definitely overlays well over a lot of my own observations of life and people. And, yes, LSD is always helpful in these matters.
