@fopylo you need to sex 22 virgins before you die, otherwise you won't go to heaven ... that's the same logic and reasoning for me damn, I just realized I have his book on my bookshelf waiting to read ... god works in mysterious way

I've heard james nestor breath is good, I'm looking forward to read it , He was in Joe R. E, so u can chceck the podcast first and see if that feeds your needs, that episode is mainly about that book, Andrew Huberman recommend it as well and he is proffesor of neruobiology - so I guess the book is legit from science stand point, not some woo-woo mambo jambo

@Someone here theoretical yes and practical no if you don't have access to it - then no, doesn't make a difference

what are dreams? are there any insights about them from higher states of consciousness, psychedelics or yoga ? what is happening to consciousness while we sleeping ? seems like it's totally off why does it feel so real in that moment ? moreover the body treats it like a real thing - sweat, fear, heart rate, boner, even orgasm it's seems like at time of sleep whole reality ceases to exist, WW3 could happen and you wouldn't even notice it isn't that mind boggling that the mind/brain (whatever it is behind it )or consciousness can construct dreamlike realites out of fucking nowhere ... so easily - just like that how can we be sure that same process doesn't happen with "this reality" ? the only difference is that dreams are fleeting - meanwhile "this reality" is long lasting, despite of how much suffering there is in it, or joy if you're more lucky Osho was saying that dreams are reflection of not lived life during the day, whatever we suppress ... while sometimes it might be accurate, I don't think it's always the case

+1 that would be interesting is it real thing or just a placebo

@Gesundheit that is the thing, I've never experienced anything that is beyond materialist paradigm or anything different than that, therefore don't ask me to convince myself that is not true, also I don't hold a belief that I "exist" - that might be just a simulation or recalled memory of myself from the past played on some alien's server - there is no way to validate that this reality is "real" as far I as know, I am open minded about it, as you can see I'm destined to continue my "search", until I taste on my own the sweetness of banana @Ananta I know what he is saying at least at conceptual mind level, but that doesn't change my life experience that much

@Setzer901 yeah don't listen to what they preach, and just look at their behavior (deeply self - deluded and hypocrites)- they usually are strongly focused on making more money, aslo if you ask them to give it back to you if that doesn't make them happy - which totality rational and logical what do you thinkg is going to happen ? money is just a toll, and just reflects the ego if you know how to be happy already, you will find more ways to enjoyment and vice versa if you live in a scared state, now you have more to be scared of

@Gesundheit how? xP

@Artsu you will need to tell me what do you mean by "spiritual experiences" first @James123 I'm not sure what do mean by attached to them - I am aware of thoughts after a while, that the mind is producing some stream of thougths, I can catch myself in it and stop, let go, but I miss the moment when they aring, only after the fact, they take my by surprise

that is not very efficient i do that for few years now, with very slightly progress

is there any way to experience non-duality state ? without psychedelics? how can I do this ? is all those terms are the same or there is a difference ? non-duality - surrender - enlightenment - presence - being - god - nothingness - love - no-self - zen - tao - no-mind

I realize today that it's such a tricky topic, cuz the easier way to sell something is convice people that there is something worng with them, and marketrs are perfectly aware of that fact, ego always looking for wholness outside "you're piece of shit - you need to fix - here is my shitty product solution - that won't help you anyways" - this such a huge problem of self-help industry

@Leo Gura yeah, tell that to the sperm that didn't make it to your mom's egg hey, you guys weren't statistic ! - but I guess you don't believe in that anymore ... apart from joke, if it's as simple as you say: why is that VAST MAJORITY end up in some kind of 9-5 job, making less than 50k (depends on the counry) per year? what is that ? global scale hypnosis ? where is the trick ? how the game is rigged ? maybe instead of blaming and judging - explain and teach us ....

@Nak Khid why do you think that? that 's around 7-8 books every fucking single day ! assuming he started from around age of 3 and read through his whole life, but he said that some time before he died so even less years

I 'am wondering how high those 2 should be on priorities list, Leo said in Life advice 2 that it's quite important, but does it make any sense to dive deep on it before career success and finnancial stability/freedom ? I see the parttern that many ppl after incial success that give them fincail freedom do that, but maybe cuz they don't have better things to at that point with all their resources, and it looks like uncharted territory - a rabbit hole, pandora box also as far as I know there is no such category in the Leo's Book List - dunno why
