  1. Past hour
  2. Good, let's just accelerate everything, at this point who gives a shit, only crybaby wokies do. Accelerate accelerate accelerate
  3. i still feel a lot of anxiety. this afternoon, for example, when i sat down to study, i got so anxious and agitated and felt uncomfortable, scanning my surroundings... i couldn't figure out whether headphones would make it better or worse, music definitely did make it worse. sometimes when the headphones are on, i'm scared to take them off. and then this evening i went for a walk and read my book...both were very nice, and i'm *almost* in a good mood....but i can tell there's such deep unrest and fear in my body, too.
  4. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back
  5. My desert. My Arrakis. My Dune. Pay some attention here.
  6. The Kybalion (1908) by Three Initiates cont Chapter 6 The Divine Paradox All is a manifestation of the universe. Do not ignore matter as this will be an error. The laws of the universe are not to be denied Chapter 7 The All in All
  7. @Judy2 Thank you
  8. Leo's solipsism doesnt explain anything btw, it leaves you with an infinite number of unexplained brute facts. Its the most vacuous thing you can ever go with. Even a low tier physicalist view leaves you with more explained facts than Leo's view.
  9. It seems like people have a strange method for their purported experience with psychedelics.
  10. I find this much better! Uhh, how many new religions are brewing at this very moment?
  11. People here on actualized.org for some reason dont realize, but going with a mystic epistemology doesnt automatically answer the question of which specific version of God is actually correct (other than the fact that God is Consciousness) There is a reason why for instance Ralston disagrees with Leo on love. There are also many many mystics who will cash out God in slightly different ways.
  12. Great points and questions you bring up. I'd still stress the importance of excersize, since it changes brain chemistry. A person who excersizes regularly is much more likely to have a brain that can solve life's problems and be more resilient to stress. Diet, sleep, and excersize comes first regardless of how well it solves the depression. Try pills, therapy, philosophy, meditation second.
  13. @zurew but Leo's whole point is that epistemology can lead to direct knowing of reality. So it's not about logical reasoning within a paradigm vs other paradigms. It's about doing epistemology to know what Paradigm is true
  14. Some people want to hide their human. This makes sense in our Internet day and age. You don't know who you're relating with online. Sometimes you do though. Then you know.
  15. You can learn it obviously but it's not a game it's an actual job. The word "game" is misleading and may actually inhibit success in relationships. Trying to "game" your way to a fancy car won't work. Hard work, personal development, skills, many failures will get you nice things including money and fulfilling relationships.
  16. Today
  17. Yes you can absolutely blame him, because he frequently gives a justification for why God allows certain things (often times he doesnt give the justification what you gave, but a version where the implication is that God is agential and that different state of affairs could have been realized) Constantly switching between existential language (where Love is metaphysical and doesnt have anything to do with action) vs action/agential language (where love is cashed out by what an agent does and not by its nature) is a big mistake. But this isnt just with love, this is with selfishness and with other notions as well.
  18. That's reasonable if the god he's imagining is the one that sends you to hell for murder, then that's a God who has a fixed human good/bad agenda. And is not all loving. So yeah I get why they get stuck in that one atheist perspective for life. But as an atheist you would then go to all the other different definitions of God from the other religions and the all loving nature of God is harder to dispute. At that point I assumed they just point to well it's all unknowable because there's no evidence. Being unaware of favoritism to their own epistemology. And making the assumption that reality is unknowable.
  19. Hopefully not lol.
  20. Yeah, I guess this one is realy tricky. Cause you can't really define love or really explain it, so you can't really blame Leo here. You need first hand experience. Correct. But also incorrect, because God must be the sum total of all possible properties so, it's tricky.
  21. I think and feel Enlightenment is both finding the you and You, and then one may or may not worry about how those relate.
  22. Are these guys just born naturals or can I learn this type of game?
