@Javfly33 Yes i agree with you but didn't Leo say that God has no control?? If God has no control then he cannot stop imagining all of this..

I have been practicing holotropic breathwork every day for few minutes in conjuction with my "normal" meditation practice and it makes me feel great. I am also feeling weird sensations "in the brain" afterwords. Is holotropic/breathwork dangerous in any way ? What should i be aware of? Many materialistic websites refer dangers about hyperventilation. I don't know what to believe anymore. Thanks for your time.

@Moksha Sometimes i wish that there was no creation at all. This would save us a LOT of hustle and unecessary suffering. Now i feel like i am forever stuck in the mind of a God that i have no control over. Great!

Ok, so basically i've been watching 5-meo-dmt trip reports on YouTube and while many trip reports come to the same conclusions as Leo Gura, there are others which don't seem to get a genuine experience of Absolute Truth. How come is that? I don't get it. For example, in this video, both Joe Rogan and his guest took 5-meo BUT didn't realise/understand God. That's evident when you hear Joe Rogan say: ''we are in a Universal stew of particles". That is clearly a materialist position.

Does God care about our well-being or doesn't? What does God care about ultimately? To me, it seems like God cares about our well-being because of how intelligently and perfect everything is. From the air we breath, from our nervous system, emotional system . The Sun that keeps us alive , plants, animals etc. Isn't all that a sign that God ultimatetely cares about its Creation?

@SilentTears Ok. Being is simply what is. But doesn't being have a purpose behind it? Doesn't being have a reason for being? For example many spiritual people say that everything exists because God wants to experience itself. That is a purpose i guess.

Leo has said that Being is not a purpose. But why is that? And what would it take for something to have a purpose? I don't get it.. What is the explanation behind the no-purpose thing? To me it seems that being is a purpose because it is. Because it exists. As i would say that the purpose behind eyes is seeing because that's what they do.

Leo, i have noticed that you are biased towards Enlightment, etc. You make it seem like it is somewhat bad to be unenlightned. But is it really? Ι mean , most people i see are just living their ordinary lifes without never realising what God is and many them seem to live a normal healthy and happy life. Is it that bad to never understand what God and Love is? 99.9% of people don't seem bothered by not understanding all these things.. It seems to me that even God wants us to be asleep, otherwise 99.9% of people would have the spiritual abilities of Ramana Maharshi but they clearly don't. Btw i am also a spiritual seeker. I am just asking to understand your perspective.

@Leo Gura That's a solid explanation! I have to admit..

@Leo Gura This sounds ideological to me.. What if Truth is my number #2 value? And i guess if you take 5meo , you can discover Truth no matter what your values are.

Why does racism exist? Why some people are racist? I really don't get it.. I don't understand what drives racism.

Leo , what do you think about Donald Hoffman as a scientists and some of his claims? He seems like a groundbreaking scientist to me who thinks outside the box. He also considers the possibility of Consciousness being as fundamental. This is radical comparing to most scientists. Here are some of his quotes from this video:

@Leo Gura He also argues that spacetime is not fundamental reality and that neurons don't even exist when they are not perceived. I think he is going somewhere.. I don't know if such a fundamental reality actually exists though... Ahahaha it's kinda unrelated but the scientist i dislike the most is Lawrence Krauss. He seems to me like the most arrogant scientist on the internet and is very fundamentalist about his positions. Maybe i am projecting that arrogance though.

Why do you call 'him' a madman?

@Leo Gura Thank you for replying. So that means that there is no foundation for morality? I don't understand him sometimes (William Lane Craig). Overall his arguments are pretty good but i believe he is wrong. He also says: "Muslims worship a God that doesn't exist. There is no such person as Allah as described in the Koran" Well i find that to be very twisted. He denies muslims their God but doesn't do the same to Christians... It just baffles me that someone can be so good and intelligent with some arguements but fail at others.. It leads to confusion for me. Makes me doubt myself also, if understood what he said properly etc.

@Leo Gura I didn't like his argument with the baby. One last thing if you can reply. He claimed that "For something to be significant it has to make a change. And on naturalism the choices of the entire human race are ultimately inconsequential. It doesn't matter. It's insignicant and that seems to be virtually undeniable on atheism" Then he continues: '' In the absence of God there isn't any objective foundation for the affirmation of objective moral values and duties. These are simply illusions and therefore you can't rescue signifance." Do you agree with what he says? He begins at 8:42 of the video

@Leo Gura He also believes that objective moral values exist. Which i disagree. He has some great arguments but other times i don't understand him.. If you watch this video you'll understand.

@Johnny5 God seems like "he" doesn't care what happens to him one way or another. This is scary for my lil weak ego. But on the other hand i see the intelligence in reality and that makes me hopefull that all things are happening for the highest good of the cosmos...

@Nahm Good explanation.

@electroBeam Because i am fearful that God doesn't care about us . I am fearful of an indifferent , cold-hearted universe..

@peachboy I like your explanation. I am facing an existential terror to be honest because i don't really know God and i am fearful of the magnitude of God.. I wish i was in a God state right now and have all the answers. But i am in a limited human form, in a weird, highly intelligent and brutal universe & i don't really know what's going on... I just hope God has good plans for all of his creation.

@Mafortu I love this analogy

I am terrified of God's Love. I had some insights yesterday that were profound and terrifying. I got a glimpse into what Love is. And now i finally understand why Leo calls it Love but still i don't want to accept it. Also it hit me that awakening is much more hardcore and radical that i ever imagined. It is not what i expected it to be.... I don't want to accept that death is Love.

@danton Thank you for the advice man!

@Meta-Man Yes.. Now it seems obvious to me that Surrender is the only thing that you can do..
