    At one point, as Don Juan was showing Taisha medicinal plants, their benefits and how to use them. He told her regarding healing you will not be ingesting anything but instead manipulating energy. As if to heal all you need is energy. If Carlos was the new Nagual why didnt he follow in Don Juan's footsteps by simply leaving this world or crossing over. Why couldnt he heal himself of cancer? Also was their another Nagual to take after him?

    We don’t know? What we do know: Carlos was a 3 chamber Nagual not the typical 4. Power chooses not the Nagual, and it chose Carlos. Perhaps, I’m speculating and stretching it here, Carlos writing the books as DJ suggested was the only way for DJ lineage to carry on and the knowledge to survive?

    Well it’s easy to reject something that you don’t understand. Enlightenment does not give you powers to change celestial bodies… duh. He sees it as leveled up mage out of a video game. The enlightened being is in many ways less than. Incredibly ordinary. You surrender literally everything to God. And in that stillness and purity they return their consciousness to God. You aren’t going to get rich from it so yeah, i guess it’s not appealing to the non seeker or those looking for a power up

    59:42 There are cases of people having these 'hallucinations' before they are informed of their loved one's sudden, unexpected death. There are also cases of people experiencing unexplained pain when their loved ones have an accident or medical crisis, e.g., Tim Ventura had severe pain in his hand and later learned that at the same time this occurred his mother had burned her hand. (I may have gotten some of the details wrong on Ventura's story). Kind of hard to explain under the materialist paradigm.

    Let me say something deep deep deep for me...I have talked since some months before that 7th (*m.f.) day of this year about the (*m.f.) antisemitism in western society...I started to understand this more deeply after I started to research more about my ancestrally in a life journey that includes the experience as a novice living one year as a Ch´an Buddhist Monk in the most prominent monastery in Latin America...and After that as a Shaolin Gong Fu and Tai Ji teacher living in "Samsara/Nirvana" in Samsara, with a deep Depression Experience having a lot of visions and hard "delusions" in a reality that took me (and as a pragmatic person, I was not looking for that) to the Ayahuasca deep Brazilian Experience guided by some incredible Junguian, Daime and Yoga Masters...14 years of deep deep deep life and death experiences with some phenomena of synchronicity with connection and "supernatural" events not only individual but also collective with facts and evidence between me and people in Brazil, India, Israel, USA...Specially India...But living in the Mountains in Brazil side-by-side with some American friends with Nordic and Jewish heritage, I started to go more and more deeply in my own Ancestry Heritage...I am "Pereira Leite" and "Ferreira Leite" two "New Christian" families that descend directly from the encounter between the Jewish and German (Longbards) (*** all men with long beards, right?) in Rome and directly on the entire development of the Catholic Church and Imperialism going down to Spain and Portugal, specially Portugal being a strong kingdom that descends from the Nordic culture too...In fact the Catholic Church for me is it: the encounter between the most deep and profound Nordic Culture with the Jewish Culture and some nuances of the Arabic and African Cultures, but in fact in a Imperialist and transvestite shape...And I have this Ancestry Heritage: Nordic, Jewish and African, being also the encounter of this "Cruel and Transvestite Imperialism" in my father with the poor and runaway Jews with African slaves in my Mother (this is my "Hard Work")...In some way I see and I can confirm some things by the Dr. Sledge videos, that the "white seed" on the Jewish Culture and people is related to the, maybe, the deep Ancestrally co-related to the Nordic Culture...I don´t know if in Russia or Siberia, or even directly from Northern Europe, but I know that all "white seeds" have some "integrated" history and also the "shadow" about that...For me, as we can see in animals, white people that went do the "deserts" in a post relationship with "Arabs" before everything we know as "Egypt", etc., had strange behaviors for the polytheistic and tribal-style Nordic native culture, "depressive" in some natural and gothic points, and they were "expelled" from that base, because they started to see, understand and looked for the unity in everything guided by mystic experiences in a different way comparing with the "native" experience from the "White Tribes"...It is my supposition...And when I see here the exchange between you both...It is a NECTAR for my presence in this "World" !!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree with this guy. The west has taken the spirit out of Buddhism and replaced it with psychology and scientific thought. This is fine but the magic and metaphysics of Buddhism is considered allegory or myth. The west is wrong. They tried to hard to make Buddhism athiest friendly and scientific. Meditation and mantra does much more then create peace. There is an entire universe within us ready to tune into and explore. Magic is real, and it does work. Also the Buddhas do actually work with us and visit us to heal us, help us and teach us. Tune in☸️

    I am born against my will into a prison of air, gravity and taxes and eventual death...morals and ethics are just contracts to reduce pain and increase pleasure...both delusions of mind but attached to the nervous system .... meaningful is a subjective act.Buddha didnt like Nihilism and the moral codes of Buddhism give community...this guy knows nothing about Buddhism ...I am surprised by his broad strokes on for example Zen monks and Kamikazes...he his truly offensive and intellectually weak.I actually despise Western and Abrahamic theology it's always a sales job based on fear and conformity to values of ancient middle Eastern man.Greeks seem to be more advanced and the Suttas delved into man's minds ..in short Abrahamic religions sound like a cartoon fairy tale...hence the endless wars and division they create.His views on mental illness are so strange...and schizophrenia isn't multiple views...derp derp...baseline consciousness explanation made no sense. Is his beard a hipster intellectual faker.?

    I’m curious about Dr. Sledge’s views on thinkers like Schopenhauer, Wessel-Zapffe, or Rorty. I’ve noticed a trend lately amongst some philosophers: to regard human desperation for meaning(-making) as a sound reason to adopt traditional teleological schemas of various kinds; a kind of implicit acknowledgement that our little minds simply cannot do without such frameworks and that it’s reasonable to adopt them even if we are not motivated by earnest conviction in the metaphysics and soteriology of such traditions, lest we fall into villainous nihilism. But I think the most reasonable place to be a skeptic…is actually in a foxhole. The nihilism of the 80s and 90s had little wisdom in it, it was sophomoric smart-assery. The nihilism of today is wiser, it recognizes the direness of the moment, and meets it with a mixture of despair and curiosity, rather than running away into the safety of old fairy tales to look for courage. We must learn to be with our monsters completely, because they are completely with us regardless.

    It's a shame that Dr Joffe brings his own ideological biases to this subject. The term "heteronormative" is embedded in Western academic discourse and queer theory, which pretends that there are more than two sexes and that "gender identity" is a legitimate concept that overrides biological reality (Joffe's "the symbolic is arbitrary" is categorically false). The so-called "third gender" of traditional cultures was a means whereby those cultures could accommodate the gender non-conforming i.e. homosexual men. As for trans-identifying individuals, I think that anyone who cannot accept their sexed body should not be engaging in these practices. Modern queer practitioners should develop their own practices, rather than trying to "correct" the established canon.

    Good question. Enlightement is the knowledge of the superior realities of life. Let me explain why one would ask such a question : Birth of Man (1/2) When homo sapiens, a million years ago, had developed to the point where its brain was perfectly adapted to its shape, a pair of these individuals gave birth to a pair of twins whose brains could respond to the mental energy circuit of the universe. This gave them the energy to be able to reason, develop self-awareness and exercise free will. This event was immediately recorded in the universe and this couple was given the names of Andon and Fonta. This is how the first humans were born on this world, named Urantia. The word earth comes from the Bible and refers to all of creation. Thirty-five thousand years ago, human beings had fully developed their brains and found themselves at a crossroads. They either looked upward in search of their origin, or they looked down to the things of this world and became beings dominated by their intellect, with an atrophic cerebellum due to lack of use, but the evolutionary plan is perfect. Then Adamic Sons descended on this world. This Adamic couple had the mission of generating a million descendants over a period of a thousand years. These descendants of Adam and Eve have a body irrigated by purple blood, this blood vibrates at a higher frequency than red blood. Their mission was to mix with human races to pass on purple blood to them. This blood would have raised awareness of human beings towards the higher realities of life. Unfortunately, Lucifer's Rebellion would short-circuit this plan and these creatures subsequently became creatures of Lucifer, they are the inhabitants of this world. =========== The Cerebellum (2/2) If the brain responds to the mental energy circuit of the universe, the cerebellum responds to the spiritual energy circuit of the universe. Smaller and more refined than the brain, the cerebellum receives and captures spiritual energy, amplifies it and transmits it to the brain in the form of a thought or in the form of an image. Lucifer subjugated humanity by depriving it of all contact with the higher realities of life. To do this, he favored the unilateral development of the intellect. We call intellect everything that the brain develops and it is this intellect which dominates you today, unfortunately. Over time, the cerebellum, which was supposed to maintain contact with the Spirit, has become completely atrophied. The human beings of this world are born with an overdeveloped brain, which is subject to the mental energy circuit of Lucifer. Your intellect has become his throne. This is the reason why I came into this world. I came here below, in the flesh, to rescue you from its grip, by revealing the truth to you.
