  2. OP is not denying the existence of karma and its propagation to the next life. He is wondering how it works exactly. This is where we have to look to the most famous religious scientist of our time, Albert Einstein, for insight. who said “Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.” He admits that the forces governing karma care outside our control, implying a predetermined universe.

  3. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Leo Gura replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Yes. Mildly. Lost in the sauce.
  4. Yes. The physical is rigid, normal, boring... mundane. The sparkle of life is intangible, beyond the physical. The magic of life is in relationships. Depends on the barista, but, in brief I experience a twinkle in the their eye and genuine desire to serve. ease confident aware caring thoughtful playful existence is physical reality is much more distinct? yes separate? no ... like soap bubbles, "as close as close can be" What's happening within your own inner-world? Sounds like you're in a rut. well. let's see. Most often I find myself preaching/teaching optimism. It's absolutely how I live my life. I don't like to talk about it, but, I'm going thru a divorce. It's awful. On a daily basis, out of necessity, I am seeking alternatives, opening myself to opportunities, with absolute faith, "If this way sucks, there's always another way." making vessels for light it feels like ... I don't know. "squishy" in a good way? imagine a huge gym mat. super-squishy. like the worlds biggest shock-absorber. but also, very sensitive. like the a glassy pond, in stillness While listening, I close my eyes, become the sea, and vibrate At some point, there was a big-bang, and I've been "pulsing", for lack of a better word ever since. I am not a "thing". I am the confluence of my affinities, aversions, talents, and flaws... with a pulse. My given name is Daniel. I go by Ziran because I like to do things naturally. It's "blossoming". Like petals on a flower. A nested chain of interdependent happenings. Nested like Russian dolls, like hand-in-glove. A nearly infinite chain-of-chains. Each link is a moment, a record, in nearly infinite database.
  5. Its quite sad how easily labels like “Zionism” get used without real familiarity with the actual society behind it. That can become a slippery slope where they stop being seen as human beings like everyone else. Would you like it if I call the people in western Europe Crusaders? I think the answer is no, so its better not to do it to others.
  6. @CARDOZZO you asked us a sensible question, we open up and give you genuine answers, you castigate us for those answers. We've got to start from somewhere, as normies, and go from there, there will be people at many different stages here. And, the work isn't done on this forum, which is an informal chaotic place, it's done IRL. Anyone looking in here will get a very distorted shallow picture of what's really going on. A stage turqoise saint isn't going to announce their presence at all, they will look and sound normal.
  7. It's been a week since my last post here. I've still been relapsing, but I found a solution now I think. Let's see how it goes, I'll post again after a week.
  8. @Natasha Tori Maru Yes, we should. Why would we engage with dishonest conversation? This was about showing how harmful right-wing ideology can be. It is dangerous and poisonous. If you even entertain such ideas, they can corrupt you. Your job is to make sure that no misinformation is spread here, and you have failed to do so. You need to wake up. The rules of this forum say so, yet you ignore the person spreading disinformation and instead attack the one standing against it. Stop complaining and do your job. It is your duty. No conspiracy theories: COVID hoax, 9/11 inside job, David Icke, reptilians, Pizzagate, QAnon, false accusations of pedophilia, antisemitic narratives, Holocaust denial, etc. No right-wing political dogma, talking points, Trumpism, or denial of basic facts. The person here is spreading misinformation (including Grok-related claims) and climate denial. I have had enough of people pretending these two ideologies are on the same level. They are not and that is the truth.
  9. https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-464 Life feels much more mystical and spontaneous in childhood, then we get used to it. @Leo Gura Is child more connected to what you are referring or did I misunderstood? Somehow it feels that life got much less exciting once I grew up and survival pressure increased.
  10. Today
  11. Only? Apparently God cares an awful lot about not-caring.
  12. why do you not want to exercise? it definitely has benefits for both mental and physical well-being, plus it raises your overall caloric needs, if that's what you're after. why live a life where you move as little as possible? it can be very fulfilling to engage physically with the world - it's also what your body's made for. if you have some sort of exercise trauma from school - i do, and i still hate team sports - you can experiment a little with other forms of exercise to find the right fit for you that's pleasurable and truly feels good in the moment.
  13. Do you think we should suppress some views and opinions? Or attempt to deconstruct them? Do you think suppression is a good thing? There are many opinions and views dispensed here I strongly disagree with. It wouldn't be right to outright sensor them. Better to debate and engage in deconstruction, don't you think?
  14. @Bacher You say: "You seem like you have not realized that life on earth is not the end of this infinite imagination that will go on forever. This imagination is also creation. You will not understand God by sitting like buddists and contemplate emptiness or the light. Why do you think this life on earth and other life forms exists? That is because the LIGHT or GOD needs that to understand itself, what it is capable of and how long it can go and create and at the same time experience all the emotions and reactions. It cannot do that by simply being the light." In Reality, in Truth, there is no time. Separate selves debate about whether the imagination goes on infinitely or temporarily, but the truth is that it never started so nothing has ever happened. How can anything happen if there is no such thing as time. Reality tries to concede to the separate selves by saying well, the imagination is only real to you because you are experiencing separation. But the hard truth is that you are not even separate selves. And never have been. The separate self comes back and says "oh but I'm experiencing this; you can't say nothing is happening." Reality responds, until you see that you are not real---i.e that you are not separate, you will experience Reality as events. @Breakingthewall You say: "Realizations pull you away from the core, keeping you circling like a moth to a light, looking at it from different angles, when the idea is to break the separation between you and the light and be the total essence of what it is, which isn't a realization, it's the source of realizations and everything else. There's nothing you can say about this light , since anything you say will be an aspect, a facet, a realization among infinite facets, an absolute zero." Piercing through the separation, like you say, is what frees the individual from the illusion that there are realizations to be made about Reality. Like you say, "the idea is to break the separation between you and the light". Who can make a realization about Reality? One would have to be separate from Reality and stand separate from it to be able to understand it, but if one himself is Reality, how can he understand Reality or have true insights about it. All there is is Reality.

  16. Yes, its how many natives adapt to poisons from toads, snakes, toxic plants for medicinal use ect... taking a little bit more and more the immune system adapts so it doesn't kill you even when you take larger amounts but if someone was to randomly have a large amount after never eating it or not eating in a long time such poisons can very easily kill you and many people have died from fasting and breaking the fast with such foods because they are at the very far end of the "natural food" for our bodies (spectrum).
  17. I experienced same thing with KFC wings and burger. Once I had to stop all junk food for couple months due to medical issue and once it got resolved, I thought I'd eat some KFC and ordered it. I literally vomitted everything, my body just rejected that shit. But interestingly, after days and weeks of eating and getting used to junk again, it got normilized and I wasn't feeling negative effects much, till I ditched it again for some time.
  18. Depends on frequency. None, if I do very rarely like once every other week. But if I do it daily, it mostly affects my sexual performance very negatively, also I get desensitized to a real life scenarios which makes intimacy with a real human very hard. That's mostly it.

  21. israel is about 50 percent orange 30 percent blue and 20 percent others. Nethenyahu's right wing gov is wildly unpopular with about 27 percent support. Its just that other parties are even more unpopular that he is the PM. As for the rest of the middle east, I think in about 20 years it will be majority orange. You underestimate Muslims in assuming that it will take 50 years for them to move to orange. The reason for so many radical muslims is cause of US and israel bombing of muslim land. In fact, enlightned muslims like Rumi were wildly respected by the islamic culture in the past. Add into that they will be sort of forced into orange to develop their economy, 20 years is definately feesable

  22. RedPill Understanding

    LordFall replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    I didn't watch it but seems like he has some cool points from the gemini overview. We careful with terms though; what does the red pill mean? Some people in there actively hate women and constantly berate them. Some others just see it as game theory and self-development like myself. A lot of dating is a function of macroeconomics, it's cool to see how they intersect. Don't hate women though they're just trying to have a good life like anybody else.
  23. Because we have spiritual egos we MUST attend to, prior to any genuine interaction (if one can be had, at all!) 😁😁😁 But to answer - my general experience if life phenomenologically, as my consciousness has expanded? I judge others a lot less. I am more interested in them, than me. I never was so interested in speaking of myself anyway. But this has grown. I enjoy hearing about what the person does. But this has nothing to do with who they are. So my experience of others usually involves me digging into their preferences, what makes them different to me. Because I feel they are me more so than ever, so the small differences seem HUGE now! I see how I am the same as others more than ever. I focus much less on what is said. Much more on eyes, movement, gestures. Tone. Facial expressions. Body presence. Although, it is hard to say if this is a higher consciousness thing, or borne of the online world - so much online is text now - so I focus on the body in front of me. What it is telling me. Overall you can see how grounded and integrated someone is by how their body moves, how deliberate and slow their actions are. People such as this are usually very diligent, disciplined, deep and thoughtful. People who rush are generally lower consciousness. My personal enjoyment of human interaction is much, much greater now. I reach out and touch people (with their permission) more than ever. Overall my spiritual process has become about finding out the needs of the other, and working out how I can help them see to it they are met through their own power and sovereignty. Even if it is just a passing interaction at a cash register. I will always try to bring the humanity to the interaction. Overall I value life a lot more. It has taken a long time and lots of work on my own conditioning. I am much more candid now. Much more honest even when it hurts. I check in with myself emotionally more. I never push truth on others - I present what I have and let the person come. Or I read they are open to truth. When I am triggered or low, I never attack or lash out. The most I will do is shrink from extending my energy. I will still always try to breach the gap between me and other in some way. When in this state I am brutally honest and stern with others, but never attacking. Attacking has never been in me. There's probably more - but body hungers ❤️ Overall I am so satisfied with basic bitch existence. Like. Rediculously so! Just getting into bed, clean sheets, washed body. BLISS! The sunrise every morning from my rooftop - the best part of the day! The look of the gum trees in the wind... Their smell. I am just satisfied to a great extent.
  24. What are the negative side effects you guys feel after watching porn? I feel like a lot of it is placebo. Sometimes I feel lower energy afterward and less motivation but not other times. And most times that lower energy lasts like 10 mins then I'm good to go. Also helps reduce my anxiety throughout the workday.
  25. How long do you guys think it will take for the middle east to move from Red/Blue (and some purple) , into Orange? The propagation of Blue's religious dogma and the fear/lack of resources causing Red due to war, etc. and Blue's dogma will of course need to cease control I wonder if its possible in the next 50 years... I guess you could consider UAE/Dubai as toxic orange, except its cloaked in Blue and backed by dogma in the government/dictatorship there But I'm really referring to Iran, Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. Many parts of Africa as well, which is very red/purple, but for the sake of this post we can mostly discuss the Blue/red/purple side of the middle east countries. Seems its just been in a giant feedback loop of blue dominating and creating groups of red/purple due to the conformity because of fear and violence and need to control, lack of resources . People justifying "God's will" to selfishly act out their need to dominate and cherry pick whatever serves their survival the most. Since everything over there is about land, oil, and religious conformity. I wonder what its going to take for not just most of the population, but also the governments of these countries to reach higher developmental stages. We are all aware of the up rising in Iran thats pushed back against red/blue, ending in much violence. But I'm wondering about the government in control, not just the population. When are the people/regime in control there going to cease their blue/red ways and ascend? And as for Israel, same thing. I'd say 80-90% blue, 10-20% orange there. Zionism isn't helping, we all know that. So as for the clashes against islam/zionism and all the subsets of these big religions, whats it gonna take for people to realize their self deception and take off the lens of conformity? How developed does it need to get? When can/will the governments subside their need to project their views onto the other? when will they subside their need for more land? Even in America, I cringe when I see religious people reveling in their blind conformity and self deception. Have any of these people even here in a predominantly toxic orange society even questioned their own mind? or is their identity just so intertwined with these man made beliefs that they are too scared for their mind to die? What's it going to take for people to wake up? Obviously here, there is no threat of death if you don't conform to religious ideals, just castigation from your posse/group/family. We can also talk about America, or really anywhere in the world and their state of development, because thinking about all of them, not just the middle east can shed light on the contrasts amongst them all. We can also discuss the blind conformity echo chambers across social media of developmental stages. Which it appears as social media is predominately Orange, with blueish hive minds and specks of red throughout. (Red in this case being like fighting and whatnot). I really want to understand the psychology behind the minds of people that bash others for content, whether its our side/vs theirs, including news media. All ideas are welcome, this topic has been on my mind lately and I'd like to hear others views. Share whatever you feel.
