  1. @TruthSeeker47 Look for mindfulness meditation on youtube. I also have problems with memory and that helped me a lot. Leo has a video about it too...
  2. @Spacious Yes, that's true and interesting.

  4. @Outer And I think Russia is not communist either. (edit: Russia has a mixed economy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_economy )
  5. Ok, that's a different story. Thanks @Outer :-)
  6. I am not supporter of communism, but I have a question I don't get. Why do you say that communism has failed if China is the biggest economy now in the world? I also was reading that Vietnam is a communist country and is having a really good economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Vietnam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_China The socialist market economy of China is the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP[1][20][21] and the world's largest economy by purchasing power parity according to the IMF, although China's National Bureau of Statistic denies this claim. Until 2015, China was the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over 30 years. I don't understand that part... thanks for clarifying. From my part it sounds like a belief that is being repeated by conservative media. But, I really want to be open about those claims.
  7. I found this interesting https://www.wildmind.org/blogs/on-practice/mind-fake-news
  8. The problem with communism is that It was installed via Revolution, by the force and war. And that's the main problem, how do you contain the ones that are against it? Killing them, doing very bad things. I agree with Osho, Capitalism is failing right now under our very eyes. Communism hasn't failed because it was never tried. Russia is not a communist country. They are totalitarian governments that they have nothing to do with communism. It was propaganda, that's easy to see. Communism is an utopia very difficult to achieve as Leo said because of our egos.
  9. In capitalism seems to happen the same very thing. Weird, right?
  10. I was in a psiquiatric hospital (before finding about Leo and actualized) because I had some psychotic episodes. I really lost my mind. And what I learnt is that you don't lose your mind. It's just attachment to thoughts. We think, we are the thinkers. When I weird thought arrives we think it is us that is thinking, something wrong is happening. Try to focus on reality without analyzing. See what is happening outside, not in your mind and you will see that all those thoughts are false.
  11. Maybe worker cooperatives? There are several companies working like that, one of them in New York and it has proven to be very successful. http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/the-end-of-poverty/how-america-s-largest-worker-owned-co-op-lifts-people-out-of-poverty
  12. Do you think you are the thinker? Investigate and you will notice that those are not "your" thoughts. You are just aware of them. Let them pass, if you pay attention to them they will come back. Try mindful meditation, it helps a lot to get detached from thoughts.
  13. @Sirius Exactly, so true...
  14. I read some books of Yogi Ramacharaka when I was a teen. Now I see that he was one of the person who are supposed to be the author of that book (The Kybalion). Life is a strange loop.
  15. Now I want to read it. Looks really interesting.
  16. Yeah, it sucks. It is difficult to separate the thinker from the thought.
  17. Awesome, those insights are really good. How do you perceive an insight? Normally I feel a sudden knowing of something, with no thoughts at the moment of the insight. Then thoughts appear and begin with doubts, fears, and more... :-P
  18. Nice insights. I was also noticing that there's two kind of movements in the body. I don't know how to call them. I noticed that sometimes the thought arises and then there's an action of the body. And other times it happens the other way around. The action happens and then the thought arise and says "I am doing this action"... It's like the thought sometimes appropriates the action and creates the idea of a "doer"
