I have created a downloaded playlist that forces the original order through the naming. Took me until recently to finally do that.... Anyways, I plan to upload it somewhere and make a forum post on it.

How does one stay in Truth? -
It's up there. Letting shame rule your life is a form of devilry.

To stay in Truth is a true pain in the ass. From my experience I understand why Leo say he get tired from recording videos with deep content. Is really hard to stay present in Truth. Life is a minefield of deception and distraction. Sometimes O think most part of my life would be distraction with a few percentage of staying in Truth. But one must keep trying. This shit is for relenteless warriors. -

Yes because part of Truth includes the finite and we all embody the finite which is ego. You can't have a finite perspective that is Infinite. The finite is joined with the Infinite. We experience both Infinity and the finite. -

I confess I am a bootlicker. I came here just to look for @Leo Gura comment on this thread. And I did not find it. Ha -

I guess it comes down to: Do we have access to Truth or not? If not, then that's a kind of Truth too. At least it's expressed that way because people take it seriously. But either way -- we all seem to have a need for a kind of Foundation or a desire for one, otherwise, why are we arguing about it? There would be no need to be right. We would simply realize it's a foolish endeavor at bottom, and move on without it. Most people seem to desire and even claim to have a sense of Truth, even if they try really hard to conceal this by being indirect or coy or even humorous. They still have a stake in Truth and try to make points. Even the no separate self -- there is nothing happening -- people. -

I find a discernment is an observation free of judging the experience as good/bad. There is a difference, probably why there are different words so we have clear distinction. I spent a bit of time on contemplating discernment / judgement. @Razard86 is very good with this part of our experience. And yep I agree regarding survival - it is why survival and spirituality run into incompatibility. Perhaps as we work on our conditioning more, judgement isn't as needed, because wisdom takes over. We can discern, but we do not need to ascribe good/bad as a judgement because wisdom will take over to guide survival (while remaining more spiritually aligned) after we learn the lessons in life. IE fire is danger, instead of 'I hate fire or heat'. I suppose then responsive wisdom will guide survival, rather than reactive judgement. I think this dovetails with dissolving conditioning - leading to wisdom guiding us. This is all not to say we do not have preferences to experience. Just not a good/bad or moral judgement. More 'this is not for me' over 'i hate this' -
uRock!

I would say there is no difference between the two . There are sensations in the body . And they feel different. This has nothing to do with mental judgement. A feeling of smelling a perfume is different than a feeling of your palm bleeding . The mental judgement arises to urge us to seek one and despise the other .to survive. But when I'm in the moment of something bad It seems like seeing through it mentally doesn't resolve the physical annyonance. -
Praying. Meditating on the one. May I be purified.

Socializing today ... At first I really wasnt warmed up and felt like I screwed up two greeting by not really greeting two people. I just couldnt really do it and I kind of hated myself for it. It really just wasnt doable emotionally for some reason. Also my usual friend wasnt there wh played a bit of a emotional provider before so it really wasnt that easy. At that point I became conscious of the importance of initiative. If you are passive all the time that really plays into your confidence in a negative way. There is kind of a power dynamic just determined by who initiates. That forced me to socialize with other people I dont usually socialize with though and somehow later that night I entered a really good social state. I was pretty effortlessly funny and didnt really care anymore. Some of the best social state I had in a really long time.

Its hard but you have to realize that your soul is the most intelligent thing in existence. If you are frustrated you are frustrated on purpose. If you think you are fucking up you literally cannot fuck up. You fucking up is part of the plan your hyper intelligent soul is doing. Your soul is being pulled in both directions intelligently. To come to terms that everything you do is hyper intelligent, even the things you deem 'bad' or not good or good is when you transend. Like your soul is so smart it can't fuck up. -
It doesn't seem the U.S. has any chance against Iran Amazing analysis here, goes over their capabilities quite thoroughly in this article https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/2026/iran-builds-layered-missile-and-mine-shield-against-u-s-carriers-in-strait-of-hormuz "Iran’s defensive design for a clash with the United States is built less around winning decisive naval or air battles and more around manufacturing sustained friction at every layer of the campaign. The intent is to pull U.S. forces into a dense, overlapping threat environment where time, interceptor inventories, and political tolerance become the real centers of gravity." "At the core is an institutional split that is operationally meaningful in wartime: the regular Navy for a broader Gulf of Oman presence, and the IRGC Navy for the Persian Gulf and Strait fight, paired with “mosaic” decentralization meant to keep local commands lethal even under heavy electronic attack and decapitation pressure. This matters because U.S. plans rely on compressing the battlespace through rapid suppression of air defenses, maritime surveillance dominance, and the destruction of launchers. Iran’s answer is dispersion, redundancy, and volume: many small launch points, many cheap shooters, and enough mid-tier systems to complicate every phase of a U.S. air-sea campaign."

Yeah I do not think they cause each other - for me it is the external reality (co-arising subject/object experience) that triggers a different sort of state (so to speak). For me it does. As an example, when I simply observe something in my experience - like a small piece of skin on my cuticle loose - it causes a sensation. A mild niggling / tingling feeling. But when I start to view it as an irritation or I actively start pulling at the loose cuticle I begin to judge the experience as something I dislike. I want it to go away. This can sort of give it more volume in my mind. I think discernment leads to 'there is pain, sensation' whereas judgement leads to 'I do not want this, it is annoying, negative, I dislike it' etc. Overall the difference between judgement / discernment is subtle - but one really prolongs the negative state. I just experience judgement in this way as a bad feeling state. Discernment doesn't have that negativity associated. Might not be like this for you, just some subtleties in my experience and observation when body/sensation scanning, and tracing back to thoughts.
