Really sad... but that's what's happening. Alt right is selling all this stupidity and people become brainwashed into it. Sad.

Upvoted!

The Bible says being gay is fine, as long as you're high. ------------------------------------------- "A man who lays with another man should be stoned." Leviticus 20:13 ESV

Genocide?

What is that?

I think Leo nailed that in his Derrida video, when Derrida said that the problem is we think in opposites. If it's not real, then it's a dream or an illusion. We should get rid of all definitions. It is what it is. It's not the way we think reality is, but what is reality? We can't talk about it, unless we find a better language that can describe the indescribable.

That's what the Bible says the "devil" is doing, he is occupying God's place. :-)

To make sense to whom?

If not, maybe he will be born again and in a future life he'll make a bigger contribution to human consciousness, who knows? Don't feel bad Leo!

Without the five senses and the mind, the world does not exist for us.

With a crucifix and holy water?

Our senses is what is keeping the illusion "consistent"... materialism is an illusion, but very consistent. Einstein himself said that : “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one” If you had different "senses" , for example if you could view infrared light or ultraviolet and perceive differently, your "material reality" would be totally different. But the true reality (we can call it spirit, or God, Brahman, existence) will existe behind that "illusion"... IMO

Exactly... the ego is taking the place of GOD, that's what the Devil did. :-)

I have the inverse problem, I can watch videos and read books but I can't sit more than half hour. I have to make my biggest effort to be half hour sitting... Do you get distracted when reading or watching videos? It happens to me when I am reading a book, but I can focus again on the book and continue.

I saw both videos and I saw @Leo Gura like a preacher, but not in the sense of a religion. In the sense of a true preacher preaching truth. Nice!

Because that's what you are? You are the one, eternal, pure, unchanging witness of everything. You are infinity. The ego is the one who doesn't want to see that, because is too scary for him (ego) and it will means the end of his delusion.

To achieve that level of understanding you must live thousands lives hehehe... just kidding, but that's not something we will be doing in this life. Only master like Jesus for example, he died and came back. You have to be an avatar to achieve that. And once you are at a level where your mind is ready for it, you will do it. Now it sounds crazy, because we are at a very low consciousness level. When they leave the body, they are not dying are they are not losing the experience of existence. They become existence themselves.

I read parts of the book and opened something new for me that I didn't know that the tibetans also talked about demons, hell, the devil and stuff like that. I think all that is just creations of consciousness, depending on what level of consciousness you are when you die, if you are still attached to fears, etc... all those thoughts come to you and create a kind of "hell", until you learn to accept those thoughts and fears and transcend them. I don't know, just my 2 cents.

Just look for the presence inside you that is aware of the confusion. Observe the thoughts, be the observer of the thoughts and you will see that you are not the thoughts, so... you are not confused. You are aware of confusion. One thing that helped me a lot to separate my awareness from the thoughts was mindful meditation. There's a lot of videos, even Leo did one. If you are not attached to the thoughts, there's nothing to fear. Fear is just a thought, be aware of the thought, investigate it and you will see that it has no fundaments. Fear arises, but you don't have to be fearful of nothing.

Nihilism needs a person who is a nihilist. But, there's no person. The ego needs to have a "meaning" because it wants objects of the world, it can be money, power, or something that is valuable for it. Awareness doesn't want anything, it doesn't need any purpose, its purpose is just to BE. That's the most important purpose in life. IMO. :-)
