  2. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

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

    The Witch and The Caliban book. For good, take a look on that book.
  3. What background work?
  4. Imagine being mature and hot, the romantic potential.. But in reality you probably stay immature for longer as you rely more on looks for attraction and satisfaction which wont fulfill you.
  5. @UnbornTao Thanks, I feel compelled to to share this here. The life purpose side of Leo’s work is still my favourite.

  6. Starving Patriarchy

    Rafael Thundercat replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    You guys need to stop trying to find Patriarchy outside. It exists installed inside your minds. https://www.instagram.com/p/DX7Vzubj5Bs/?igsh=c2VkeHdkMTFrZm1u And it plays out in subtle ways that even blast out here in the Forum in many ways. Check for example this way here, where we as man expects woman to to emotional labor for us. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYkvjk3klh6/?igsh=d3J5OGk0cXYwZ2Uw Is you as a man never did what is explicited in this post you must be a liar. I did this many times I must confess, I a male bias I carry and trying to be aware each and every day. Is not woman that need to do the work to dismantle Patriarchy alone. The struggle relies on men.
  7. IMO Bryan's marketing/brand is overall positive as it brings people into the longevity space, as well as plant-based eating. Better to care than to not care, despite many issues with the wellness industry as we know. Fools will fall pray to quick fixes, as anywhere else. Co-hosting the enhanced games — which objective is maximum performance at the cost of health and longevity — is conversial.

  8. Starving Patriarchy

    Rafael Thundercat replied to Rafael Thundercat's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events

    Haha, the tendency is so predictable, whe a woman express herself fully she just must have so psychological disorder. Why this assumption? She need to express in a certain way? In certain parameters? To serve the ears of whom?
  9. The million dollar question is how do feelings factor into Love. Many people seem to believe feelings come only from finite egos. It's hard to have a Unity perspective without erasing the finite, unless the Unity is a combination of the finite as Spinoza thought. Then emotions are part of God/Nature. Even erroneous emotions that are not purified by Truth.

    There are already many communities like this. I will not source the ones I know here for respect. Some guys here dont even deserve to see cleraly the very thing they dismiss being possible to exist. Ah and this is for you @Willy Phallicus

  11. Provide counterarguments

    Jannes replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    Yes. Big changes in recommendation dont seem to happen that often.

  12. Provide counterarguments

    Jannes replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    Its actually an argument I use, I find it ridiculous that people dont take big health organizations serious and think they know better after watching a few youtube videos. Although big health organizations arent perfect of course. Critiques that come to mind are that even science is paradigm locked. They look at biomarker, things like how a food makes you feel energetically is unscientific. There is much woo woo out there but probably not everything is. Giant health organizations can also be corrupted. Either by giant companies will lots of money or to archieve a national goal. In germany for example food recommendations arent solely based on health, environemental impact is also taken into consideration, so less meat is recommended. And of course you gotta listen to your body, everyone reacts different to different foods.
  13. Today
  14. He talks about the mind bending implications on infinity that should be obvious to anyone who contemplates the idea for even a little bit, while most religious people take these ideas for granted.
  15. Most Marxist-Leninist revolutionary Leaders in history were and are great but they are painted as evil by capitalist propaganda. The problem is that if you learn about history from western accounts, you understanding is biased and unfortunately a lot of Leos information about history is skewed in that way. "Power always corrupts" and "the most selfish people seek power" is just not true and a lie spread by capitalists to make the working class believe capitalism is the only valid system, which is a lie. I'm currently a big fan of Xi. I suggest you this video:

  16. Awake and embodied

    C0RE replied to C0RE's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    When I am regulated, grounded, embodied... I feel like my true self. I am confident, free, playful. But also sharp, precise, clever. I have a pretty bad anxiety disorder. No question about that. And I got so used to living with it, I started believing that's just how reality is. But turns out, life has been waiting for me on the other side of relaxation, all along. I have access. I always have had, to some extent. Now it's about making it my new baseline.
  17. Bryan Johnson is great. In the past year he's motivated me to be healthier more than any other person. Not a fan of Peter Thiel though.
  18. Wait till you start feeling like an outsider here too 🤣
  19. I know he's not "awake" and he's not stage turquoise but he's super articulate and he brings great points to any discussion about God that are a joy to listen to.
  20. Feelings are Truth, too. Denying feelings is denying Truth. Problems arise when saying some feelings are 'good' while others - like fear - would be 'bad'.
  21. I've become an outsider in my community, because most people are not asking the questions that I am, most people are thinking about basic stuff... Is there anyone else in this forum who feels the same?
  22. Understand that good and evil are not absolute categories. I know this may sound harsh or insensitive..but children starving or dying as collateral damage in war is not inherently “evil” in some objective cosmic sense. These are judgments and meanings constructed by the human mind. Compassion and empathy toward those children are deeply human and valuable responses..but we strengthen the idea of evil by believing it exists independently of our perception and judgment. There are two important things to understand: 1-Evil is not an absolute fact. Even the most extreme suffering and pain are not inherently carrying objective meaning. 2-Constantly judging and labeling experiences as “ bad” or “evil” can reinforce our psychological attachment to them and deepen our suffering. At the same time..all of these ideas can and will fly out of the window in front of profound personal suffering. Deep suffering reveals what the ego resists most intensely. I’m not suggesting that you become cold..indifferent or detached from humanity. Rather..understanding these mechanisms can fundamentally change the way you relate to suffering and pain and evil .

  23. Provide counterarguments

    Basman replied to Carl-Richard's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    people can get butthurt over you chosing to not eat certain things. they can feel like your being inconvenient and difficult for stupid reasons or like you think your better than them (especially with vegans).
  24. Nice.
  25. It brings a lot of joy to me to have goals and things to work toward. My impact is small, but I can tell from the feedback I get and working 1 on 1 how much people enjoy the practice. I think this is worth pursuing and mastering over my life. Help bring balance to people.
  26. Imagine if we could reverse the aging process, we could live longer with a young looking and healthy body. Wouldn’t it be amazing?
  27. Independent of - and yes. An essential question to ask is: What is experience? I should have shared the full quote, but you must have watched the video at least once. "It's simply part of the dreadful ritual of egoity, and there's nothing enlightening about it whatsoever. It's deluding, plain old, that's it... With respect to the matter of realization it is useless, and potentially obviously deluding altogether." The central point is that it's not an experience. You don't call clipping your nails having an awakening, or getting drunk, etc. Just so with any state. There's a ton of background work to be done on this domain, and too big of a communication gap here. To me you're clearly prone to fantasy worlds. Years ago, for example, you claimed or implied that Ramana was beneath or "lower" because, in your mind, contrasted with some model or map you've intellectually devised, he "lacked" X awakening or some shit like that. You can probably see where this might be coming from, and it's always about states - often drug-induced, is it not? A state is a state, an experience is an experience, a direct apprehension is a direct apprehension. Getting the point would be the preferred option, as the length considering a point is rather secondary if it isn't gotten. I get the sense that these topics quickly turn into simplistic caricatures in one's mind, as with the self-deception business. In theory it sounds great and grandiose but in practice it tends to be an artifice or adopted idea, completely superficial and not something that is authentically operated from. "Yeah yeah, self-deception." And then you hear real feedback from genuine masters and it is plainly ignored in favor of one's preferred beliefs. If Leo fails to see this point I doubt that his followers will pay much attention to this dynamic. There are older threads about these topics, waiting to be put to good use. The main thing to do here is to look at what experience itself is - beyond one's ready-made answers and certainties, no matter how intelligent or reasonable they might sound. If awakening is not an experience, perception, feeling, state, or insight, what is it?
