@Schizophonia good thread idea. Every couple years I move cities. Ever since getting a university degree in geology, I've made a ritual of exploring all the local river beds and mountains in the city I lived in. I've done this in New York, Arizona, Virginia, Arizona, Utah, and now Korea. Even Alaska and Mongolia a bit. I take a notebook and a compass, and try to make sense of the environment from scratch. It's so fun! Will share photos soon Also, learning Mandarin. Just starting but know about a dozen expressions. It's a fulfilling project.

Who are these professional scammers? -
Interesting / good question. My high school friend. We were friends for like 10-15 years. It worked out because we both got into spirituality together. It went downhill fast once I started doing Leo’s work seriously 5 years ago. Then I started noticing too many lies, biases, bullshits, self-deceptions. All of which I had kinda noticed but had repressed / ignored. After Leo’s work, it became too obvious. So I ourgrew him and no longer had much mutual stuff / passions to stay in touch with. We chat once in a while for few sentences on whatsapp. I don’t know about why most don’t last, but for me they don’t last because our developmental level are just too different. Even now in my social circle (with complete normies) that I have been building for the past few months, it’s falling apart because I simply just don’t care about social games and what people think of me, nearly as much as them, and this gets me to behave in such a way that hurts them. I rather lose them, than start micromanaging every social move I make, because it’s quite fragile, the whole game. If people were more conscious, were able to laugh at themselves, and didn’t take things too seriously, having a social circle wouldn’t necessarily be too bad. - - - - - What about you?

There are many profesional scammer of that. They say that people are sick due their energy and that. Als is a strange sickness, I did a lot of investigation about that just for the reason that nobody knows what causes it. Absolutely nothing is known except that a protein that should be in the cell nucleus is leaking out, and it has a slightly different structure, but this doesn't always happen, and it's unknown whether it's a cause or an effect. It's incredible that with all the resources available and brilliant minds focused on it, there isn't a single clue. -
One of the points brought up in the cult accusations was that Leo was making definitive statements about other people's awakenings. In Razard86's latest post in the spirituality section, he claims to have that very ability, ie to tune into what the specific flavour of soneone's awakening is. I found that quite interesting.

You have to realize everyone is full of shit, especially people you have not met in real life in person.

There is no one else and yet there are many souls. At the same time. Solipism is not wholey true. It's än half truth. The other side of the Truth is that we do live in material world. We are all individuals. The world goes on without your consiousness existing here. Trees do fall in forest when no one is looking. Because they are all part of the same thing. I see people here making the same mistake. They try to THINK about this. No no no no! You must FEEL it and not THINK. Any thought is just a thought. You may think you know it is a dream. It is not a dream at all but it feels like a dream. There is a difference. The cold fact is that there is only one thing in the existance and yet at the same time there are individual souls. This is how the Great One has shown to me. People think of this like it's a video game. Ney! Far from it. It is as we see it. It is real. The pain is real, the suffering is real, the world and the people are real and yet there is no one else but the Great One. Just like a canvas. On the canvas there are many Characters but they are all on the same frame. That is how it is. Not that there is only black canvas. Nor that there are many canvas of each Characters. People here completely forget that. And I can say with wholeheartedly that non of us in this forum are Awskened. (Myself included) neither is Leo. Its all just words and stories you tell yourself. The best thing we can do is to be at service to others. Focus on overcoming your own darkness and not this Solipism bullshit. -

Love, in its purest form, is "out-reaching". Nothing more, nothing less. It exists at the extreme end of a spectrum opposite Restraint. Restraining <<<>>> Out-Reaching Respect <<<>>> Love In common parlance, when people refer to Love, they're referring to healthy Love which is "nurturing". However, sometimes, as you're observing, Love isn't always good. Love isn't always nurturing. When Love is nurturing it is partnered with Respect/Restraint. Lacking Respect/Restraint Love becomes unhealthy, inappropriate. The classic example of unhealthy love is a parent who loves their child, the rapist, and gives them safe harbor, hiding them from authorities. -
That's so unbelievably stage green, you don't even like customized gardens cause of human interference/capitalism, lol. I'd probably be stage green also if I was living like that

@zurew If Razard86 has this ability, then perhaps Leo also has the ability to tune into people's levels of awakening and make statements about it. What do you think ? (This might actually wobble one of the legs, that the cult accusations have been standing on.) - Today

I never laboured under the assumption I was. -

You are not the only person who has someone who is dying in your circle. -

@Natasha Tori Maru Good case in point. Totally her decision whether to continually wake up every morning facing a life full of struggle or not. -
I wasn’t writing a book with every layer of nuance. The core point was still right: confidence is coded differently in France. I never said French people hate confident people. I said that what often passes as confidence in the US can look vulgar, arrogant, or socially tone-deaf in France. When I used “debate,” I meant being able to defend your point if you make one, not constantly arguing for the sake of it. Also, your last sentence contradicts what you said before. I assume you forgot the negative, but that changes the whole meaning.

@Joshe I posted this video which is 13 years old just to kinda show where I had my start, although I have been playing trumpet since I was 10 years old.

Yes, and this is why I raised the case of my Aunt who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. If anyone knows anything about this disease - it is a terminal death sentence. A slow irreversible decline (think Steven Hawking - suffered from a form of MND and very long lived). My aunt has been given 18 months based on her rate of decline. It is very, very confronting to see how quickly she is fading. Unfortunately, she fell prey to many alternative health treatments (grifters) who sold her on cures with no evidence. Burned through immense amounts of cash for it to amount to nothing. She is investigating assisted suicide. -

Good luck with this one bro. -
Nice! Setting is cool as hell. Never could get into Jazz though. There's something about it that lures me in, and then I'm just "I gotta get away from this", lol. I like blues.

Permission is not promotion. No one would even consider suicide unless they're going through unbearable suffering. And when things gets real, people will do what they have to do, regardless of my opinion or anyone's opinion. Permission also helps. In many cases, the sense of freedom and agency can be the wall between life and death. Would you rather know that there is an end to the suffering? Or believe that you're eternally stuck? -
Who are your favorite rappers or hip hop acts?

For leisure, I do freestyle rapping, philosophy discussions, and improv. That's the unusual stuff. Other than that, pretty normal: sports, video games, reading

This is just your own assumption and reading into my question. My line of enquiry for proof would act to convince anyone in doubt, who has not been so across Leo's history.
