I read that as «stay in comfort zone, it’s nice»

Freedom is fundamental, people are searching for security.

It sounds so fake though?!

I guess it can actually be egotistical to take 5MEO in this case.

What is the most effective way to reach (or at least get close to) enlightenment?

Why is this considered philosophy?

If I meditate for 1-3 hours a day for a year, will I free myself from any type of neurosis? If not, is there anything more effective?

Is it true that monks fly slowly up in the air when they reach enlightenment?

I think you shouldn't. Maybe it will be like that in 100 or 200 years but not now.

There has been some talk about this. Is this bullshit? What is your opinion about it?

There is no stage Coral. Just people who think they are stage Coral.

Get real please.

So would you be able to live inside a computer as long as you want?

Thank you for your help and sorry that my mind is so slow! I think I want to be more pressent and have more mental clarity. And maybe have higher emotional intelligence and have an easier time doing stuff that isn’t comfortable. I think I just want more consciousness and I hope that is the same as being less neurotic. I also want to be less self interested in me and more out in the world if that makes sence. Is it true that mindfullness meditation increase consciousness?

I think you should delete it and live in reality. It’s better to talk to real people and have real friends than to sit alone in front of a screen and hunt for likes.

I definitly want to be less neurotic. Will meditation do that? Im a bit confused.

I have no idea. What is it?

That's good. I was trapped in a ward for 9 months. I consider all psychiatrists who resort to breaking 17 out of someones 30 human rights to attempt to force them to get a better mental health criminals. Stigmatization is used for control. Then prove it? Where is the chemical test for that? If it actually was a chemical disease you would talk to a neurologist. Then that's good for you. If im sad all i need to do is drink alcohol and I can feel better. It doesn't mean I have a chemical imbalance of alchohol in my brain. If you play videogames you release dopamine in the brain and feel good, it doesn't mean you have a chemical imbalance of dopamine if you don't feel good. A problem in living, not a problem in the brain. If depressed people work less, it doesn't mean that not working causes depression. You are describing neurology. Just like if someone has downs syndrom. You would make a diagnosis out of someones brainscan. Or a genetic test. Or any other objective test. You wouldn't work backwards and try to scan for something "wrong" if someone doesn't like to sit in a classroom for too long. There is a difference between the brain of great musicians and average people. You don't determine someone to be a great musician from a brainscan. Nobody even thinks of that.

It seems very sad to live in this type of mental solitude. What’s the point in having friends or relationships if you don’t care what people think of you? Thanks for any answers.

Less is more, more is less. You need to know how to use this properly.

Abnormal brain function is a disease. That's why we have neurologists. They practise medicine, not politics. They don't vote brain cancer into existence. That's because they treat an actual disease. They don't try to socially controll an individual with one of the most toxic drugs we have. Every brain is different. But you don't just suddenly get a broken brain and now you aren't as happy as before. This is borderline comedy. There is no doubt that our mental health and environment goes hand in hand. If someone doesn't have friends they become sad. If someone lost their dog they get sad. If someone doesn't sleep enough they get tired. There is still not ONE test that proves someone has a chemical imbalance in their brain. That's why you shouldn't poison them. Nice strawman. Yes. The twin on the left didn't take a psychiatric drug. The twin on the right did and is now unhealthy. And you use this as proof for these "mental illnesses". So because the cousin believes something you judge as wrong they have a mental disorder? Did you test for that by doing a brain scan? Or did you just stigmatize them in front of their family? https://newspunch.com/american-psychological-association-masculinity-mental-disorder/ Now they are going to bully boys into conforming to standards. I consider this child abuse. Yes. For what reason? It used to be. It's pretty irrational to talk to someone you don't even know exist. You just need to "believe" he exist. I guess the cult of religion has more power than the cult of psychiatry. Yes it's pretty abnormal to lock innocent people up and poison them. Should we call that toxic psychiatist syndrome? I vote yes. Of course you don't need a diagnosis to talk to people. I talk to my friends all the time. Not one of them has yet given me a diagnosis. Pretty sure drug companies and psychiatry needs diagnosis to earn more money. Very smart. You haven't just stigmatized a small group of people to control them in psychiatric wards. You also stigmatize those who doesn't agree with the practise. As "people who hold stigma against mentally ill people". I see what you did there. Im just going to assume you know what im talking about. To anyone else reading this you should look at this.

Yeah that sounds about right.

By not caring what other think you might not get a feeling of belonging. Or being understood. Or even love. Because it doesn’t matter? It seems to me that this is a contradiction.

But isn’t it a need to have belonging, love and to be understood? It says so in the maslows hierarcy but Leo’s video seems to be contradicting it.

This is really interesting. I recommend all of you to watch this. Especially if you have high empathy.
