  1. Past hour
  2. Deep awakening blows my mind, but the forgetting that comes after too How the hell can I forget being literally God, to the point of doubting it ever happened, that maybe I was crazy or wanted to believe it to much, etc. Time and time again I bring back tons of traces and clues and stuff, I write on my phone everyday even the faintest memory or insight, hundreds of little snippets by now, but still As Leo would say it's a feature not a bug, the fact you can awaken so radically means you are equally radically asleep

  3. Success, but no stress

    Optimized Life replied to Optimized Life's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    My tolerance to THC has become so high its now a futile compulsive activity No pleasure, not even noticeable sedation or relaxation anymore It is just money and energy burning ritual at this point Has just become a meaningless, pleasureless autopilot habit And how boring would it be if i pulled a cool liberal chick or met some new friends who wanted to smoke up, in like some fucking tropical forest and i just didnt feel anything in that moment ... Everything has its time and place, smoking alone constantly is super lame and i knew this but tbh it was just a desperate response to chronic insomnia Still i completely forgot about and underestimated how powerful tolerance is with weed, and tolerance like this makes it extremely expensive because i'd have to reload 3-5x/week and still not get much out of it, then i'd also have to smoke a lot of carinogen just to get a fraction of the effect too so its unhealthy i will leave it for a month so i can enjoy it ritualistically again

    Any skill that you want to build will be challenging at first, that challenge becomes more tolerable over time, but you still need to keep it at least slightly challenging than what you're used to, to keep progressing, if the progress and growth is what you're interested in. Same for dealing with trauma and psychological issues. Most endeavours that we value and most things that we want to acquire and don't currently have will need some kind of a discipline to get. Repeated exposure is often key to actually see some results in whatever you're practicing, piano, meditaiton or conscious relationships, or whatever. But I don't like the demonization of comfort either. Why is comfort bad? That's a good question. "Being outside of a comfort zone" became one of those conformist self-help cliches that people just parrot. Maybe depending where you are in life, more comfort is what you need. It's all so personal and intimate, I don't like these templates that people sugget for "growing yourself". The advice applies to more obvious things like if you want to lose weight, and are lazy, yeah, you'll need to choose gym over comfort of your bed each time.
  7. Hi Leo, I have a question about #441. You say that the answer to "Why is there something rather than nothing?" is that there is Everything. But then you say it doesn't mean that there is a planet filled with flamingos or something like that out there. Wouldn't it mean exactly that? You also say that Everything exists outside of your field of perception. Doesn't this contradict solipsism? And what is this everything if not every possibility, including a planet full of flamingos?

    Ok then share something better.

  9. Monogamous vs Polyamory

    enchanted replied to Miguel1's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    They can be an enhancement. They can be whatever you like I suppose. I see them as distractions from true happiness. Best case scenario you find the love of your life and then one of you dies. Look at the divorce rate. A lot of unhappy distracted people in that statistic.
  10. @Carl-Richard You're not going to guilt me into another round of discussion. The truth is that I lost interest and didn't even care to read through your last replies after the prior exchange and delay. I left because I think I've said what needed to be said and got bored honestly. Not because I'm indecisive or because you gave any concrete evidence or because I'm too closed-minded. You also shifted the argument multiple times. When I argue against the general case, you say forget the experiences and claims of others and focus on mine. And when I ask you specifically for a pre-recorded journal with timestamps, you give me studies and videos of others. That's dishonest and I don't like it. One last note, I think I read from you somewhere that you were once a cult member. I don't think it's unlikely that you're somehow repeating the same pattern here with the paranormal. Not that I know a particular cult or anything like that, but that you have the tendency to attach to some external worldview and make it your own. Non-mainstream hidden knowledge seems attractive to you for some reason. This isn't an ad hominem against your case, it's just an observation. Take it or leave it. Other than that, feel free to keep posting, it's your thread after all. Now, if you'll excuse me, I don't wish to derail the thread any longer. Keep your evidence coming in, but keep me out of it, cuz I won't be reading. Thank you.
  11. I hope they Hungarify the USA very soon and vote MAGA out, like they did to Orban recently.
  12. It's says in the original post that I'm sharing a 30 second clip yet you criticize that I'm sharing a 2 hour video. You also don't engage or read the material you criticize. I find it interesting that other creators are spreading the message that Leo does too. If you aren't interested in these topics, or can't read between the lines, what are you doing here? Wasting your time and ours?
  13. Most people aren't opposed to it because yea, it's probably a good idea to be relatively secure with voting in the long run. SAVE act is probably too extreme, though. In person voter fraud is basically non-existent as a form of election fraud, it's almost entirely inconsequential. It just doesn't scale well because it's incredibly hard for somebody to coordinate millions of people to commit in-person fraud on a large scale. So if it isn't really an issue, ask yourself why is it that republicans want it so badly right now? The reason is because it will disproportionately impact the democrats by reducing the number of minorities and young people who can vote, not because it will prevent the democrats from orchestrating a nation-wide voter conspiracy. What do you think is going on? There are two types of voting fraud the SAVE act will reduce: In-person voter fraud e.g. lying about who you are (estimated to happen 1 time out of every 20-40 million votes) Non-citizens voting (estimated to affect 1 vote out of every 1 to 2 million votes) Both are incredibly rare. To the point where it's basically a non-issue. So I have no idea what you think is going on here to be honest. The stats suggest absolutely nothing.

    Mark Manson is the McDonald’s of self help. His advice is so dumbed down with false dichotomies and simplified logic that it is almost useless but he is smart and he knows what the audience wants. That is by the way the secret to get rich which is not to feed pearls to pigs.
  15. I can turn into an alien but can't read your thoughts. We're just experiencing the "the critics won't even look at the evidence" meme in a culture where this supposedly does not happen. Kuhn's observations still apply. Paradigms survive sociologically way past their scientific expiry date. "Science progresses one funeral at a time" — Max Planck.
  16. I did the AI summary. After the fall of Rome The Church preserved many texts and ancient traditions, like Aristotles work, in churches values and monasteries. The second video states that secularism, perhaps best represented in Lenon's song "Imagine" suggests that no borders and no religion would lead to utopia but the YouTuber suggests that leads to societal decay instead.

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

    Absolutely. But Mark Manson is also making a great point. People on the lower end of the motivation and change scale might experience growth as more painful, yet they might be the ones who need it most. Coincidentally there is a stage called transcendence, and if you are there, then perhaps regular self help doesn't apply to you.
  18. Every substance at hight dose in theory can make you see god. It is near death experience. But hard drugs leave you with a sense of emptiness and addiction and misery. That is why psychedelics are so miracolous. i would never recommend anyone to drink alcohol to see god.
  19. I thought the deal with Iran was made already? Or was that last week after the previous deal turned out to be fake? Ohhhh wait, you're talking about the deal he made the week before that. Oh no? That wasn't real either? Ahh, the one he just announced this morning right before the stock market opened, that's the one you're talking about. Do you think it will be real this time, or will that be fake like the last 12 times as well?
  20. 1. I have responded to everything that you have engaged me with, granted the non-linear chronology. 2. No you seem indecisive and you're leaving for reasons other than what has been recently provided. Cardeña's review is exactly what you have been asking for. It's not "absolute relativism".
  21. Im a one gal type of guy

  22. Matrix and freedom

    Breakingthewall replied to Breakingthewall's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God

    There is someone: a human that exists. It's a reality, you are a human that has a sense of identity and self protection, a structure, or a process, or call it as you want, that appears in the reality, that is the reality shaped as a human that knows and that perceives. The fact of knowing that you are is a reality that happens being human, the brain creates that duality. You could say that ultimately you are not separate from the reality, but now you are operating as if you were, and your perception is the reality in perception mode. It's not the same that that perception is totally focused in the status and social matrix than being open to your absolute nature. Well, ultimately maybe it's the same, but for you now it's different.
  23. You can watch clips of Trump consistently promising to deal with Iran since over 40 years ago. He is doing exactly what he promised, the only one with the balls to do anything in the first place, and nobody cares how long it takes. Iran is done. Anybody who thinks this is going well for them at all has absolutely no understanding of what's going on. The entire geopolitical landscape is being changed and Trump is setting up American dominance for the next hundred years. Liberals can continue to cope as hard as they want. Patriots are back in control.
  24. @Willy Phallicus sorry I though your were op when I typed that haha.
  25. this is morally sick and depraved. Erika has been dragged through some of the most disgusting slander imaginable. I was bawling my eyes out the second his death was announced. if you knew literally anything about Charlie you would know he would've absolutely loved the pyrotechnics and everything about that event. Charlie was dearly loved and his memorial was extremely important to us. thinking you know better than the love of his life and now widow is such peak derangement I don't even know what to say.
  26. Idk if it seems we are so focused on you, its just good overall to have this discussion out in public, because even in spiritual forum that is supposedly so radical, and people are open to "absolute infinity", and "infinite possibilities", but no, not even one single psychic experience amongst billions and billions of people has ever occurred. It's complete bullshit right, yea definitely, all there is are people with rock solid selves having rock solid experiences of reality, everything else is utter bullshit if it cant be proven by tangible concrete method
  27. @Miguel1 Oh, yes. The almighty mature men don't fantasize about any woman other than the goddess they worship. Only immature men have unholy sexual fantasies. It's getting old bro. This whole maturity thing.
