  1. What is there to say? It's already happening. How far it will go is hard to predict. Vlad Vexler thinks that the 2030s in America will be more fascist than today. He thinks Trump is just the warm-up act. That's a terrifying notion but he might be right. He could also be wrong.
  2. Nice! Welcome back. Good to see you doing something serious and proactive.
  3. Spam is a huge problem across the internet. Every website and platform is in a constant and endless battle with hardcore spammers who will exploit any loophole to spam their junk. Everyone wants to self-promote because it earns big $$$. But it also pollutes the ecosystem for everyone. It's like shitting in the public pool for profit.
  4. That's a very deep topic. Of course I will cover it. It's just a matter of figuring out how best to structure it. That could really be an entire course. Every topic will be covered. I just need some time to get to it. Fear not. I have a list of over 100 videos topics on my list that I am chipping away at in the background. Topics are being developed even when you don't see my releasing videos. This is a huge project and takes years to unfold.
  5. That can be an issue. You have to be wise about it. Don't keep dumping in more chemical until you burned off what you already put in. This takes experience to understand. You develop a feel for when there is still plenty of chemical left but not fully vaporized. And some devices are better at it than others. So finding the right device is important.
  6. Yes. You want to feel materially secure before you run off into the ocean of God. Metaphysical realizations will not help do business, and business is necessary.
  7. There will always be places for young people to get liquored up, party, and listen to music. You couldn't stop that with a nuclear war.
  8. It's very overpriced. Just eat less. You are basically paying $1000/mo to a company so that you eat less. Lolz, what a scam! But people are such animals they need it.
  9. Because most humans do not think, they just believe whatever their micro-culture believes. And these micro-cultures morph every decade. There is always some new culture group-think fad like crypto, MAGA, Nazism, AI, post-modernism, Flat Earth, anti-vax, Marxism, libertarianism, Islamophobia, or whatever. It's all unconscious, uneducated group-think. No one is truly thinking.
  10. That is wise. Handle your survival before you get too metaphysical.
  11. No, the retreat will be fully legal.
  12. I get ya. Keep inquiring and tripping. You will get used to it and it will get easier.
  13. Yes. Because that's what a "human life" is. That's what birth is. How do you think you were born? You had to imagine that you are a baby human and then carry on with that line of imagination. Life is an act of supreme imagination. There is no life otherwise. Existence is an Absolute. Existence absolutely exists, always and forever. You are pure Existence. When enlightened masters tell you to find who you are, the true self, what they mean is to find that you are not a human but Existence itself. Enlightenment is the realization that you are Existence. That's what Zen is about. But God-Realization goes beyond even that (but also includes that).
  14. That is an empty gesture since he in practice does not admit to any ideas that contradict his view. It's like, "I am happy to fail, but I never fail because I never take anyone's ideas seriously but my own." This creates an epistemic bubble.
  15. Certainty in what? Even Awake people are not certain if it will rain tomorrow. But they are certain that they are God. You realize you are God but you still don't know exactly what God is. You don't know God in detail. God is so vast and advanced that it does not fully know itself. But at least it can be sure that is is God. As for the details of what means, that require discovery and you could mistakes in that discovery process. It's like you know the moon exists, but is there gold on the moon? You don't know that detail. But you can be sure there is a moon. So it is with God.
  16. No, one will be able to acheive insanity.
  17. I am less familiar with the situation in Europe. I am open to the possibility that immigrants in Europe commit more crime. If that is true then it is an important factor to consider. But we also have to be careful in not letting that data feed into racist and xenophobic fascistic narratives. Even if immigrants commit more crime there are other positive factors such as immigrants also contributing positively to society in many ways. We have to weigh the negatives with the positives.
  18. It's quite simple: you don't know what can and cannot be known. Very intelligent and rational people commonly make this simple mistake of assuming that, "Well, reality is so tricky and difficult to know that nothing can be known for sure, so we must be humble because we can't be absolutely certain of anything at all." But this is in fact unknown and not true. You do not know if anything can be known for certain absolutely. Therefore you must keep your mind open to the possibility that something can be known absolutely. And that turns out to be the case. You can know absolutely that you are God. How? Well, by becoming God. Since you don't know, you cannot dismiss the possibility that it's actually possible for you to become God. Not as an idea, not as belief, not as concept, not as a mere experience, not as an intellectual conclusion -- but ACTUALLY! God is, absolutely, the only thing that exists. And its existence is Absolute. This can be known with 100% certainty. This is the heart of Awakening. Becoming God destroys skepticism because skepticism is a lesser intelligence than God. Skepticism is a conceptual position while God is Absolute and non-conceptual. The mistake almost every skeptic makes is that he overlooks the possibility that there exists a higher intelligence than skepticism. Can anything be known absolutely? This is an empirical question, not a theoretical one. You must actually go out and find the Absolute. You cannot assume that the Absolute doesn't exist. It is a bad dogma of science that nothing Absolute exists. This is false. God is Absolute. Which is why science cannot find God. Right now you exist. This is absolutely true and can be known for certain by you. But everyone takes this for granted as trivial. It is anything but trivial. Today, so-called skeptics actually misunderstand original Greek Skepticism. The original Skeptics did not doubt the truth of phenomenal experience. To a Greek Skeptic, if you see the color red, is it true that you see the color red. That cannot be doubted. What the Skeptics doubted was all the conceptual baggage added to that phenomenal truth. But if you are seeing red, it is absolutely true that you are seeing red. Even if red is a hallucination, it is still true that you are seeing red. "But Leo, what if I'm actually not seeing red!" << that is self-deception Do not overlook the simple possibility that you can turn extreme skepticism into dogma and self-deception. It is possible to doubt things which in truth are just true and not doubtable. But your mind is powerful enough to doubt even truth. For example, your mind can trick you into believing you don't exist. This would be false but it would seem to you like you're being "rational", "careful", and "scientific". But in fact you are just misusing your mind. Being too epistemically cautious and paranoid is a form of self-deception. Rational people mistakenly assume that the more careful and paranoid they are the more truthful their view of reality will be. But this is false. Over-caution ends in self-deception because the mind becomes too closed.
  19. Sanity/insanity is a most serious and advanced topic and not to be treated as flippantly as you guys treat it. Suffice it to say almost nobody here understands what sanity is. Yes, I will be teaching this topic in the future. This is one of the most advanced aspects of my teachings which will be behind a pay wall to prevent abuse.
  20. From the statistics immigranta commit less crime than locals. You would need to statistically demonstrate the immigrants commit more crime. The immigration issue is truly about xenophobia. Xenophobia is a serious force. Don't underestimate it. Most humans are xenophobic.
  21. You have no clue what Awakening is and what I am talking about. You love to dispute me on this forum at every chance you get, but beware that you are decieving yourself. I am genuinely trying to help you Awaken, and you bite the hand that feeds you. Why? It isn't wise. Use me to help yourself rather than arguing with me. Winning arguments will not help you. I have a crystal clear understanding of this issue. Very few humans you interact with can say that.
