Any talk of the Dao is not the true Dao. So to communicate it with accuracy? No. It is undefinable. And saying undefinable is even inaccurate. Can you communicate certain facets of it with some accuracy? Sure.

Have you truly grasped it or are you mentally masturbating what you THINK it is in your head?

Looking back at memories and being happy is definitely being happy, the trap is when you are only happy about certain ones and not others. Ego loves to demonize what it doesn't like. Sure memories are a story but they are still an experience which is good to accept and embrace. So the goal is to accept and embrace all memories not just certain ones. Letting go means you can enjoy all that life has to offer even the stories of the mind.

Wage slave is a perspective not meant to make you feel depressed and sad about your situation but to be ome aware of all the powers at work and how you can manipulate what you have and work your life situation to better support your life purpose.

Delusion in of itself is an expression of infinite intelligence. The deluded just don't realize where it is coming from. Stating it as "infinite intelligence energy" seems to almost create a duality that its separate and not interwoven into existence itself.

Look at those insights and ask yourself "how would I live if these insights are true?" then start living by it. If I realize all is one, why should I keep acting as if they are only separate? You need to be aware of your actions and when you go against your insights. Integration is a process of taking them in and actually living by them as truth rather than some mental masturbatory theory. As you integrate what you did grab from your experience you can start fleshing out going deeper with future psychedelic experiences. Integrating 10 levels at once would be rough trying to register it all in the mind. Go up slowly.

@Salvijus self acceptance = self abandonment. No resistance.

Mental scaffolding.

The girl I am with now I have been dating for over a year and a half. I share my emotions with her and all of my spiritual insights. I'm an open book. She is with me too. We fully accept and embrace each other. We don't "fight" because we communicate any concerns before it becomes a major issue. Everything is great. These women exist they are just not as apparent at first.

Do what you want. If enlightenment is a path you are meant to figure out, you'll figure it out. Even going down one path and realizing it's not for you is a lesson. Indulge in the desires of your parents, see where it leads you. I would still recommend you work on the self-help aspect though. You clearly have some dysfunction to work through. Which it's really a lifelong thing but it'll help you even in your materialistic pursuits.

What is man and what makes man separate from everything else? This sounds like a duality trap.

@njuufa This was great. I remember kurzgesagt uploading a video that a esthetically pleasing environments can have real tangible benefits to even faster recovery. So a crystal that you really enjoy looking at would definitely uplift you. Maybe it's this draw to its beauty.

Learn to love and accept your ego. But also learn to see past it. Transcending doesn't mean to remove it. That wouldn't be holistic.

Impressive to be into it at 12. I was a very rational obsessed person who projected onto everything until I turned 18 then had my first set of spiritual experiences at 18-19. Godspeed to your and everyone's journey ?

The devil is merely a piece of the whole painting of God. Note that the God-Devil duality uses God to mean something different. It's a sort of Light-Dark duality that represents different aspects of the whole. Yin-yang. But yes you are all of it.

Don't get too attached to it.

To escape the system you gotta master the system first. Unless you just want to live in the wild. Build a long term plan. You have your whole life to do both. Is sacrificing schooling for more self actualizing right now gonna hurt or help your plans?

@Leo Gura Beautifully said ?

That people look forward to new content when there are tons of insights most probably haven't even taken in from his previous videos. There's enough content for years of spiritual work. Watching the video isn't enough to truly grasp many of them.

Yet the fiction is being used to get desired outcomes. Translating direct experience into concepts anyone can understand, creating a model that accurately tells you what you are gonna experience if you do x or y is amazing

Yeah, I hear ya. Its absurd how far the mind will go to keep believing in its bullshit. Unfortunately radical honesty and open mindedness in self reflection is how you are only going to solve it and that is a MAJOR hurdle some people don't overcome in their lifetime. But delusion has its place in reality. Try not to let it get to you too much.

Wanna have children? Godspeed. Wanna not have children? Godspeed. Just if you pick the 1st option make sure you are prepared and know how to go about it, lest you want to raise neurotic and dysfunctional children like a huge portion of the world already. I know there's a huge pressure to have children from peers, but they can't make you do anything.

Religion is basically a organized bastardized form of spirituality. Those who claim to be spiritual but not religious try to disconnect themselves from these massive organized teachings and communities. Religion just tells you what to believe on a silver platter to favor a teacher, and shames those outside of it, while spirituality is more about inquiring on the self and your well being. To explore and experiment. And to favor no specific teacher nor demonize other teachings. Of course this doesn't mean you can't get attached to your practices or get dogmatic about it. The mind naturally wants to do this. Spirituality would mean to become aware of this mechanism and resolve it. But this is an easy trap for many to get stuck in. Some never get out of it. Remember that spirituality has many facets. If you were to place it in linear progression a lvl 1 spiritual person would hardly qualify to a level 50. I would imagine their dogma justifies itself under the guise of being spiritual.

^ At this point it seems like people post about him so they can stroke their egoic feeling of superiority. Or to self validate that Leo is correct and he is not. Thats just my projection. Its hard to follow this path when everybody questions your sanity.

To figure out the purpose of the thread lol Is OP looking for feedback on thoughts, just sharing something they realized or what? What's the intended goal of discussion? And how is it helpful? Making a projection of how other people see themselves doesn't seem helpful to me. So I'm inquiring.
