@TheAlchemist How do you know you and your experience are two different things?

@Forrest Adkins The knowing of Truth is Truth itself. Truth cannot be grasped, it is Infinite, Eternal, One, anything that has ever happened is it.

@Epiphany_Inspired I am sorry to reply so late Thanks for your beautiful answer. I think I better understand now what Leo means by this nondual perspective on fear, when there is one, there cannot be fear, fear is only when there is two, fear cannot exist by itself. When there is only Love, there is no need to care about the attackers' intentions, right? You don't need to debate and justify, because Love stands by itself and creates itself, it is its own explanation, yet it doesn't need any, because it is the only One there is. But also it is understandable that not everyone is aware of this and especially with kids, it can be sometimes hard, because if you don't control a naughty kid, he will make you mad very quickly Trust me, I tried being a friend to them rather than an authority and it was a big mistake... (I am a leader of a scout group) I guess a loving solution either has to be implied earlier or it is just something completely different... I think that trying to radically apply mystical insights on parenting is a crazy idea, it is complex and counter-intuitive. Love really isn't just the sweatness of emotion

I watched the latest video about fear and I found it interesting when Leo talked about this teaching kids about fear - do you actually think it could work this way, that they could go straight into complete emotional mastery, or do you think most people have to go through this whole spiral dynamics spectrum of cognitive development? Would those kids even understand what's being said to them? (given that they weren't as indoctrinated with limiting beliefs when they first attended school) It's kind of hard to believe it could actually work this way you know, it's a big claim. A video on developmental psychology would be really nice.

@Extreme Z7 This doesn't need anyone to prove it, instead of saying it, turn inwards

Are you doing personal development to feel good or just for the sake of doing personal development, so that you can boast about it on the forum?

@Commodent I don't agree with you, but this seems like an interested theme for debate, don't you for example think, that it might be the case, that the introverted individual wants to express themselves truthfuly and authentically, so they seek out people with whom they can be themselves (which changes) and among these people they might act as if they were extroverted. And extroverts are better at expressing themselves, so they do not mind so much... But still I dont think this is given, I have developed this mindset that I am in control, but please prove me wrong, I am really interested in what you think.

@Commodent For most people, it just takes to have some sort of change in their mood and they are a different personality type

Every point is major

If there isn't a difference between unswarability and unanswerability of a question... Just writing this leaves me speechless.

I started watching Leo when I was about 13 yo, it didn't give me much, I didn't understand it, and yes, I fell into these traps of trying to „infect“ classmates and get attention, but it really helped me in the long run, I needed that painful lesson. Life is getting more and more interesting.

This thing has slipped through my thingers, thanks buddy! Yeh this is tricky

@Serotoninluv Are you trying to say that the question of physical vs nonphysical is not answered by the everything is Consciousness realization? @TrynaBeTurquoise @Serotoninluv What if I've never done a mushroom trip and I don't know how it feels, would I still start tripping even in a dream?

How do the yogis in the Himalayas care for their teeth?

I have to be focused, optimistic and remind myself that Truth is all there is, that makes me happy

@Ampresus Meditate everyday. And also maybe ask astronauts if you meet some

@Mikael89 You cannot reject the Truth, you cannot run away, it's everywhere. Just look around, the Consciousness around is the Truth.

@Ampresus Could you tell us why you are asking, like the situation that happened to you? I think that would help

A dentist from my family brushes his teeth only once a day for 20 minutes and he doesn't use any toothpaste, he says it's only placebo for feeling like you've brushed your teeth.

@Annonymous Dude messing with your hormones is no joke. Have you listened to all of these talks from trans-gender people? Have you ever talked to a girl deeply about what it means to be a girl, how difficult it is? I mean, if you think it's only about anal sex... First try some no-fap and gym to fix your testosterone and try to at least imagine what it means to be a woman (spending hours in the bathroom, menstruation, discrimination etc...) and then see what you think after that. Making a decision like this is no joke.

@pluto @Nahm Thank you so much ❤

@StephenK It is definitely healthy to have this dynamic in our society, just don't be attached to physical things and don't try to own another person.

@StephenK It's all basically mental construct. You could say it is given by law, but you need to have a non-corrupt army and police to have a well functioning state, where the law actually matters (not the case in many countries in Africa for example), but even these people who have „the power“ still need to maintain their mental construct in order to keep doing their work... That doesn't mean it's bad, it makes our lives easier, but it is not an absolute, all material things are limited, finite and temporary.

@Nahm @pluto Have you guys ever tried reprogramming your mind by listening to audio while sleeping? What do you think about it?

Interesting things going on here... I can connect with a girl very quickly, but then with time it kind of fades away, because I start to convince myself, that she is not right for me. What do you think, is this healthy? Do you think it is caused by high expectations?
