8:00 AM Went to bed a little too late. The caffeine withdrawals are not helping much. Next 2 days I'll be aiming for 7:00 AM and 6:30.

7:00 AM Feel tired. The feeling of having finally woken up beats it, so progress.

I read his book about 7 years ago and have now been watching some of his videos. He's basically as pure orange as orange can get, with shades of blue, but not much. Very little green, yellow, and absolutely no turquoise. He's basically intelligent orange. Don't mistake that for yellow.

You're shaped by what you read and learn even if you've long forgotten what you read. The wisdom gets imprinted in you from having experienced the thought or lesson and changes the way you think. Most self-help nerds get stuck in an endless loop trying to remember every little detail of every book they've read; trying to perfect the way to live life when it'll never work. Life is complex and multidimensional, It's not a mathematical equation.

@allislove hope you use Makita for the cleanest cuts.

@Leo Gura @Consilience Do you guys want to beat Trump or not?

@RedLine I know what you mean, just teasing. I agree with you to a certain extent, it's just a tricky subject. Just depends if the individual feels they are ready and know what they're getting themselves into. This is in a way the most serious thing one could choose to do. I felt I was ready around 18 and It went fine with proper forethought and diligence.

You mean fall deeper into the illusion.

I did it, came out just fine, came out fantastic actually.

I've pondered this and it seems to be the case for me as well. It gives me motivation, something to look forward to do.

If they are mature enough, yes why not.

Not Adidas Ultra Boost's, like walking on clouds from day one.

Sorry for your loss ❤️

I feel like as soon as this sentence was written into reality, Leo awoke from his 6th sense tickling him funny. ?

My spiritual ass needs some orange action taking, so here is a little improved version of the old one. Even though I'd probably never buy that car or mansion; the ego loves chasing fancy things.

There would be a shortage of astronauts once they realize you can travel the multiverse on your couch. So shhh! ?

I LOVE YOU!!

@Ananta So sorry for your loss. She looked wise. I myself own two cats (one of them is called Leo Gura), really love their zen-like nature. But you know where she has returned to, hope that comforts you. ???

@Slifon Totally normal, just surrender and all will be fine.

Log off the internet and go into silent darkness you silly goose.

I hear you! Being your own authority has wast rewards, especially if you have nothing but love and compassion as intention.

Its as if the room I'm in is totally groundless and floating about in empty space. This room is the only reality perceivable to me, being imagined right now, every moment totally imagined. My awareness witnesses this very creation shaped of consciousness. I've never moved anywhere. Literally. Only shapeshifting occurs as I change location in my reality, it's totally relative. As if my awareness was sitting watching a movie and my life was the illusion or the movie played on the tv. So no matter how far into the universe I travel, I actually don't move at all. Only shapeshifting occurs. This present moment is eternal. It looks as if there's time and things are here. But I've been bamboozled, leaned too much towards the side of this all being a something when its neither something nor nothing, it's both. When my mind gains traction of this, its as if gravity vanishes, and it feels like I'm floating in empty space. BUT there is a fine line between realizing this in the moment from listening to Leo's video. I've realized this on trips, but trying to regain traction of it is a fine dance between what I believe reality is from past realizations and bringing it into this moment. Leo spoke of the line between something and nothing which is a great contemplative subject. There is this deep wonder I've come to find, and it's one of the best tools for contemplating these things. A state of not knowing, but there's always a sense of knowing imprinted into my being from realizing many of these things on trips. Maybe I need to totally drop that, or maybe it's okay to keep it on the side. So how does love fit into this nothingness? Is love present outside the duality of illusion? Well if duality=non duality and there is no separation to anything because of oneness which makes love everpresent. And perhaps makes it the potential of which duality gets shaped. Why does my ego cling to this idea of having a past? Is it because I don't totally realize how I'm imagining this present moment from ground up? The magnitude of the imagination is hefty, to say the least. So If I got a scar 5 years ago on my arm, why is it here if it didn't happen? Because I'm imagining the scar right now, but who or what caused it to "have happened". how can it know where to be imagined on the arm? Perhaps its the memory this human body is blessed to possess in order to survive. The intelligence of this human system. Why do teachers such as Ralston don't recognize the intelligence of reality? Maybe because it doesn't help to know it on the journey of realization? Is it irrelevant to me knowing myself?

This has been in my recommended forever, lol. Very wise man. Apparently he passed away on July 10th. RIP

@Into The Void

When I was journaling here daily couple of months ago, I felt as I were more on top of what I wanted out of life, and it kept my motivation going. I'm in somewhat of a rut I've come to find. When I write daily I'm more able to express my thoughts and my vision is a lot more clear. This is the yellow I'm missing out on. Although I've been very contemplative and meditative, I'm leaning too heavily in that direction. Problem is. I don't really have a direction to move towards. I've not found my life purpose as of yet other than the purpose of existing and living life. I'd love to have something to work towards and get better at. I've got somewhat of a passion for pure mastery. Creating something and pouring all your love into that project, whether it be to service others, improve others, or something else. I've got many miniature hobbies, but none of which I could see myself working on full time. One of my interests is to observe how humans function and the intelligence of a human's system. I'm interested in how the ego operates and how its created through the false belief of it having been accumulated over a period of time which is totally imaginary and illusory. Yet I'm not enlightened nor do is really wish to teach these things to others, other than showing it through action in life. My passion really is about what reality is. So how does one create work out of that? Maybe I'll start a blog, who knows. I feel like my ani social characteristic is somewhat holding me back in life from taking action on what I want and need to do. I'm always most comfortable on my own and have a hard time playing this false game of "let's pretend we don't know what's going on here", small talk and such. I don't take myself seriously or anything like that, nor do I only wish to speak of spiritual topics. But this avoidance of truthful conversation really pulls me out of being truthful and compassionate towards myself. One tends to feed off other's energy and can be dragged down if not carefully observed. I have this idea that I'll somehow stumble upon my life purpose through more tripping and purification of my ego. This could be nonsensical thinking, but with every trip I take, I feel more connected with what I want to do in life. I'm good at marketing and an orange aspect of me really loves this game of setting up a business and playing the "money game" of accumulating wealth. I can manage to do so without rotting away on the inside, and It had been going great until COVID dawned upon us all. I really want to start that process again and play this game of chasing money, but in the healthiest way I can. It always comes back to money in this modern society, doesn't it?
