  1. Past hour
  2. Nothing! Love is in control of everything. Let’s see where it takes us
  3. They still haven't figured out what's causing Shitpocalypse. We're all dead if we have another pandemic. Now they say it's not the lettuce farm or taco bell.

  4. Aliens (James Cameron)

    @Jehovah increases <3 @MediumKahuna Cheers the share Could be just past that mark - but if you look closely the end where the camera pans through as they are arming up and getting to the ready line is one smooth take tracking and panning through. The level of coordination needed for the shit is crazy! @Raze Everything is the same bit with little changes every time, adding to experience! I wouldn't not have sex again because it is just the same thing again. I think Aliens is a totally different movie to Alien, but this has nothing to do with the plot
  5. @igor699669 my experience is that physical health equals mental health. And mental health equals deepest meditations. You can still do meditations by becoming aware of your back pain and aware of your body, mind, surroundings, in no way should that be impossible. Yet the deepest meditations for me have been after a good walk. So why not combine it? Go for a walk in nature, work on your health and body and at the end of an hour long walk you sit still and just be. That is what I love to do. It is up to you of course. Yet I would always advice to work on mental and physical health before meditation, meditation is just the cherry on the cake.
  6. Slop.
  7. You keep going back to this nonsense. You are trying to equalize all inferences by ignoring the significance of historical data. Lack of basic common sense. Let me respond to your useless and mostly unfalsifiable criteria once and for all: Content match is subjective/relative, vague, and ambiguous. Emotional significance is a fertile soil for confirmation bias, we remember the dreams that impacted us the most. Selective time match where you count your hits and ignore your misses. First occurrence relies on your feeling of novelty, which can be wrong. Do you keep a log of all your dreams? What else?
  8. I am trying but is not easy. On the other hand I understand you. Rationality is fun and you must train it to a degree. But does it make you happy?
  9. @Kyle Gjerseth I don't have any advice on this. But congrats on your sobriety! 30 days isn't too long so I hope you stick to it for your own sake. Good luck on your sobriety aswell as applying to school for mental health. Hopefully your life will keep going in this positive direction. God bless.
  10. @Leo Gura What lead to your decision to not having kids. I remember I used to struggle with not having clarity on this decision and my ex left me because of it. I have gained clarity that I don’t want kids. But that was after a ton of visualization and contemplation as well as observing other parents and children. It isn’t for me. I am selfish and I value my freedom.

  11. Is any of this real?

    @Inliytened1 For anyone that genuinely responded to try to help me I just wanna say thank you here’s some more context Since I was 14 Ive been watching Leo’s videos and it help me tremendously with practical life advice of dating, life purpose, money etc , I naturally anchored whatever he said to be true and be my guide to life and it alnost gave me comfort like I can never go wrong because I had my guide to life with me its weird cuz on one end it feels unsettling to know that guide may be wrong but it also feels scary to know it may be right. A realization I also had after my initial post was that I dont know if anything of what anybody is saying is true, im just taking something im seeing on the internet as serious as can be. And that blind belief makes me question things too im not sure what to do , the main thing i care about is my life real or is it a dream and imaginary in the sense that its not actually happening , it terrifies me Is my experience all fake? is my life not real? my relationships my interest and my motivations to do things in my life? Am I knocked out in a fucking coma or not n drugs and you guys are pieces of my consciousness trying to wake me up? these questions have intervened with my motivation at work, im usually a top top performer making over $120k as a sales manager but ive been slipping hard. Its impacted my ability to enjoy time with family and friends without questioning it when im having a moment of enjoyment. IM SCARED OF THIS SHIT AND I DONT WANNA BE LIVING A LIE At the same time im not really sure whats bothering me and I just want to snap out of it , but i have a lingering fear and im scared of something. Im considering reaching out for help cause im so panicked
  12. Its a statement of fact that the consensus wants to argue with. Its like talking to an atheist. The non believers can't handle truth so they don't. They just mock and deride it.
  13. @MarkKol testing is the way to success, this is good marketing advice even for content, you want to test different ideas to see what resonates with the audience, instead of religiously sticking to one idea and making it work. Although too much experimenting can also not be good, sometimes something is actually good, but it needs a bit more time to mature itself. Like some meals they get better if you let them sit in the fridge for a night, some ideas are good, but they need some time before they are proven successful. A month or two would be a good test period, rather then 1 week or 1 day. Test, keep what works, scrap the rest, test something else again, that should be the cycle. When I was coached with dropshipping they were testing too many different products, like 5 products a day and I felt this was a flaw in their coaching as sometimes a product just needed some small adjustments, some more time and effort put into it. So you definitely can test too much aswell. Sometimes sticking to one thing and making it work is the right way forward, sometimes testing is the way forward, it is a balancing game.

  15. Defined a generation (millennials),
  16. Not sure if you are interested in Leo's perspective or you just want to argue yours. (If it's the latter why are you on the forum?) But basically Leo changed the definition of solipsism slightly and that's why it works. .He does the same thing with love, and God. It's not something you have to agree with but not sure why you would waste your time on this forum if you don't.
  17. She'll never get it. It becomes or appears conceptual because we are trying to explain the miracle using human language.
  18. Help me make sense of what you said. I don't understand.
  19. 20 mins does a lot when that’s all you have to spare.
  20. Today

  21. A Syrian story in progress

    integration journey replied to integration journey's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    How can I take my meditation deeper and apply it more to daily life? a question to myself
  22. That could apply before, when free speech was an issue. Luckily, that isn't the case anymore. You're using an unfalsifiable claim that; because it happened before then it may be happening now. Yes, it is possible, but unlikely. And my assessment is that the current scientific rigor is as best as it can get. It's really mostly a mechanical process at this point. There's not much discrimination against any ideas. They just have to be qualified enough to pass. I looked it up using DeepSeek. Nothing to conclude from that. No proof of anything. The study itself is criticized harshly, and an independent replicate of it failed to reproduce the same results. The medium from which you got the news is irrelevant. It's the fact that the news was even allowed into your perception in the first place; that's the elephant in the room that you're still missing. Without knowing that a tornado actually happened, you'd think it's just some random nightmare. But because you had that specific knowledge that it actually happened somewhere on the planet, your mind made that connection. It filled in the gaps to solidify your delusions. True, but that's not my point. I'm not using it to judge possibility or account for anything. It's just stating that everything is possible if the sample size is large enough, regardless of how unlikely it might seem. And we do have a large sample size of all human experience (billions of people living for 60+ years), so nothing out of the ordinary there. The law doesn't disprove psychic phenomenon. It disproves the value and meaning you're attaching to it, and consequently the way you believe it works. I actually know that psychic phenomenon is true. It's just not what you want it to be. You can read my posts earlier in this thread where I elaborated on this point. Alright, you're allowed to be figurative, but I have to be literal. Ok, I guess. 🙄 I just didn't understand what that statement had to do with anything. Thought the emojis would express my feeling succinctly.

  23. Opinions on ADHD medication

    Basman replied to something_else's topic in Health, Fitness, Nutrition, Supplements

    I wish my dad would take his fucking meds. He calls me like three times a day over the most benign shit and if I don't pick up starts worrying and thinks I died.
  24. Ehh, depends on what you mean by 'Great man'. Some of the greatest people in history were simply philosopheres or sages. (Buddah, Jesus, Confusius, Socraties, Enlightened thinkers, Einstin, and great scientists.). When you say great you mean politically and militarily great. Alexander and Cesar were pretty ruthless in politics and war, but were also well moraled. They simply didn't care about societies rules at the time that inhibited them and were willing to break them—Which is fine, rules are meant to serve the welfare of society. If you are just that goated, Unilateralism is actually the best form of governement. But I digress. 'Great man' is moreso an astetic and rare personality type than an actual measurement of 'Greatness' etc.
  25. So I assume you didn't buy Leo's premium clip vault cause he has a video on this exact topic He recommends getting extra sleep the night before then doing all your meditation in one day, so instead of 20 mins every day, do 7 hours once a week. I am paraphrasing here though so I recommend you go watch that clip "Drowsy Meditation Does Not Count" That's what I've been doing the past month and it's gotten me results already
  27. Rationality and common sense are loosely synonymous in modern era. But alright, I will be more literal around you. In most cultures, you need at least two witnesses to call something a fact, it's a known rule in many judicial systems. But you're just one person. It's always just one person. The other person who actually experienced the thing first-hand is the reference point, so you can't include them. It's literally impossible to tell apart a psychic signal from random noise. The distinction and meaning are always asserted after the fact. But let's be generous and ignore that for a moment, it's still way less likely to assert that two persons have experienced similar psychic tellings. And it's even way way less likely to assert that their experiences were identical. So, due to the factor of extreme rarity/scarcity, you basically can't have multiple witnesses. The internet being available and cheap for 6 billion people makes your case even worse because you have 6 billion people for witnesses and they are failing you. Keep in mind that the internet is basically human life log, so timing and instant recognition is not an issue. Witnesses can write something and forget about it, and it will remain evidence. But there's no such thing. You never have any evidence. Your idea of convergence of sensory streams is nonsense because it's always just one person. Compare that with the abundance of matching reports from normal waking people, our perceptions are identical between all of us every single time, regardless of the relativity of how each one of us may be perceiving things, the reports are always consistent, nevertheless. You cannot compare this with that. It's just absurd to even attempt that.
