Another endless war. Again. Annihilate or Avoid. He chose neither. Because he didn't wanna be passive. But there aren't two things. So here we are. In an endless war. I can appreciate not being passive. But now we have to finish. Iran will never surrender. Their Supreme Leader was assassinated.

Nothing will actually make you fulfilled you must find that within yourself. There are, however, certain things in life that carry more bonus points. Kids are one. They give you that aha moment. But ultimately the true happiness must be found within yoursel

@Leo Gura any comments? He says your teachings were all scrambled on YouTube. I found they were perfect and organized. He says you differ with many other teachers but hasn't exactly explained how.

They only diverge when it comes to Love being an Absolute. And I'd like to see where Leo got that from. Because it ain't a thing. At least to us natural fuckers. But psychedelics can't take you higher.

He will. It will be his life's work. Like Tolkien.

I get it. Its all very confusing. But Leo is basically the offspring of Ralston turned psychonaut so if you stick to those two it will all make sense and you'll get enlightened 😀 hitting on girls is a whole other confusing matter.

You mean the lowercase self, which is an idea, and the uppercase Self, which is Infinity. Or that which imagines the lowercase self. Those? I don't think there is that much confusion.

Its for your enjoyment. I guess you could call that love.

Watch the low quality posts. If anything you don't need math 😀

Always better to blend in like a chameleon. When in Church do as the Christian.

As long as we don't end up like this:

There will always be life stuff happening, if that's what you mean. It wouldn't be interesting otherwise.

You have to find joy in what you do. Its there. For example i got burned out in my job recently - but then I found the joy again. You will go through those phases but the joy is still there sometimes it just masks itself.

Just noticed your signature. That too shall pass!

Indeed. Someone once said "we enjoy cosplaying as a human. And we don't want it to end"

I would think in the end spirituality does ease suffering. It delivers as promised - because once you do die and come back its much different. You might still suffer but it's not the same. The fear of the consequences of everything has been eased. It really comes down to how attached you wanna keep yourself to stuff after that.

Because I didn't understand at the time that relationships are going to have rocky times but you just don't walk away, even if sometimes you feel like it. I expected man and woman to get along all the time and always be on the same page. And when that didn't happen I didn't want to deal with it. Or her. But I didn't know what a relationship was. That's why its so important not to get into one until you are ready. No to the other question, once it was done it was done. Years later she saw me again somewhere and was willing to go on another date. But I was like a new person to her. We didn't end up getting back. I am with someone else now.

The crazy thing was that in the relationship she was deeply in love with me teetering on the point of obsession (we were together 3 years) and I completely took her for granted. I am the one who ended it. Then when I realized what I had lost everything completely switched. She shut me off like I was dead in an instant. What I was to her before had died for her, in fact.

Yeah. The one that really got me took 9 or 10 honestly.

You are talking apples to oranges here 😀.

Animals do not have a concept of past or present, living or dying -they exist purely in the moment. They also do not have the ability to self reflect. So yes they live more aligned with just Being but its not because of intelligence it's because they have less intelligence. We should be more like them in trying to live in the present moment. Us humans let the monkey mind run out of our control due to more intelligence. But this doesn't mean enlightenment doesn't exist.

Couldn't agree more i am living experience of it.

I had a breakup so bad I suffered for years but I believe it was a key factor in my enlightenment when I sat down to meditate. It was deep deep suffering for years. It is a form of spiritual growth. Go through it like Leo said. It will grow you. BTW it took me about 9 years or so to get over that person. Time helps.

We like to think that someday we will see what's behind the scenes. What's objective. Whatever that "behind the scenes" means to you. The trees, when no one is there, or looking through the eyes of your mother. But the reality is we never will. Even if you think death is real. Especially if you think death is real. You will NEVER see what is behind the scenes. What is behind the scenes will be exactly what it is - behind the scenes - for eternity. The key to realizing Solpsism is to realize that to see what is behind the scenes will never actually come. Which means it does not exist outside imagination.

If all you have is mind, then mind becomes real by default because there is no alternative. By mind just think not material.
