@ZenSwift Lol thanks for that. Maybe this part of the sub-forum isn't for you, but please do keep an open mind to this, just in case if this happens. It always lessens the shock and helps process whatever paranormal event that occurred. Less denial as well. Nice green eye pic.

@Scholar Because that is the truth, relative to how limited the communication is through texting. Nope, you just conflated the essance of high consciousness for total external factors, when it is part of the development process and integration. But please continue rationalizing me into a rubric, when we should be developing, integrating and finding peace with the world and people, no matter how imperfect they are, and not judging them for their positions...like you are projecting to me at the moment. However, I will cease this interaction with you, as it is unproductive. Bye.

@Scholar I've taken your logic to the extreme to show you something of it, but that's fine. Some people need to develop slower than others. gl with your life.

I think the deeper ussue is people haven't got used to wearing masks, and dealing with isolation, and conflating vaccination as violation of libertarian freedom.

@Strangeloop Why do we need to share our youtube channels?

@Scholar By your logic, if I care about people, I should consume other people, because guess what predatory animals eat sometimes, a human they ambushed successfully, and guess what plants and fungi consume? Remains of dead organisms too, including a buried body of a human. Therefore, when there's not much plants and animals, and too many humans, I should eat them because I care about them and am a humanitarian, and because that's the situation of the world. That's your logic. That's the real cringe. Please develop your cognition, morality, values system and get a diversity of life experiences first to my level, before demonising me, because it is clear I am more developed than you, thank you very much.

No matter how much anyone tries to resist change, cultures will develop to higher stages, even if it means humanity undergoes trans humanism.

@Willie That's an acceptable enougb source of information for the forum.

This article about it came up. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/aug/31/bob-ross-documentary-netflix-joshua-rofe

@Blackhawk Update: After entering a deep state of meditation, I was able to visualise the spot where she would stand, on one spot in the backyard. I took one of my old phone to record the spot she was standing on, and a series of things happened: she flickered a few times, phasing from that spot to disappearing. The speed increased suddenly, and a light flickered on where her feet were, and the camera malfunctioned and died out. I couldn't get it to work again and loet the footage.

@kamwalker One of the few best ways it might change your life, is when you come down from it, start studying and applying NLP, address your self image, how you represent your time, do positive affirmations/visualizations, start becoming more positive. Before, it might've been a grind as you haven't used your mind like this, but after awakening, it gives you the biggest picture possible to feel inspired enough to be ok in designing who you want to be, and what you want to do, for the renainder of your time in earth, no matter how grindy it gets.

@asifarahim I see, it makes sense.

LOL!

@impulse9 That's fine. Just from your reply, I know that in terms of mindfulness and observation, I am leagues above you. Don't take this as an insult, it is just the difference in psychological, spiritual development and life experiences. I hope you find peace with not just the suffering of animals, but of plants, and be able to understand, from mind to becoming/being level, why they do it, and integrate them. They need some love too. Peace.

@impulse9 That is it. The feeling I get from seeing the lawn cut, the sound of it buzzing, when I operated the machine decades ago when I had grass on the backward to do, the internal images of grass filling the bag. The emotions intitially are a mix of boredom to relief. The same when I had the opportunity to see what they did to pigs in slaughter houses, and see what butchers did to process the pig meats. Yes, the initial differenses of seeing, hearing, feeling externally and internally are different with that of cutting the grass. However, did you know that by carefully contemplating and observation, that I realized both are similar to each other, and have the same common denominator, that a human being, existing as the higher hierarchy of evolution, isthe common factor in inflicting suffering and destruction to animals and plants alike. The need to create crop fields, that cut down forests and wildlife plants, to facilitate raising of pigs and cows to provide meat produce, is the same need to create space to manufacture consumer friendly veggies, by cutting down forests. Same common denominator. I speak from direct experiences of both. Also, most people can't do this as it does require you to be able to maintain mindfulness and observation for long time periods. Can you sit, or stand, or still be in the same area as the slaughter taking place, while being mindful of thoughts and feelings in you, and note shadow parts that need intergrating? Can you place and maintain focus? Can you treat both situations with equanimity, internally in your mind? Can you be at peace with both, wether or not the situation does or doesn't change?

@Epikur I would say 50/50, because both I'm exercising my free will to work out the probability,and I know while being human I can't do certain things, leaving the wheel of destiny to over worldly beings that are designed to effect causality.

Trolling is more relative than you think. I was jocking with another user here years ago, and got warned for being offensive apparently when it's light banter. I was planning on opening a thread to talk about the link between dark humor and spirituality, but some people can't go past sarcasm let alone self deprecation.

I hope he's ok.

No it's not that obvious, even for a highly spiritual person. It's still complex. A highly spiritual person can have high empathy for the animals, but also empathy for the plants being eaten. Every time the mawn is cut, the fresh smell of grass is actually pain signals the grass releases warning nearby plants. Every time a person purchases veggies, and the demand increases, is the need to cut down forests for crops to grow those veggies.

@Hulia He already did a few old videos on what victim mindset is and how to overcome it. I think he might've not wanted to rehash the victim's perspective again in the everyone has good intentions video, but overall this should be obvious at this point for most who have followed and did the inner work he did. The main problem is that most people are still strongly self identified that they make it personal and think Leo is talking to you directly. Not the case. Leo is making a meta point about intentions, and trying to get this point to click in your triggered mind, lost in the content of the example. Again, it's not content of the example, it's the structure. You could have a very diferent victimhood, like being rpped off, or having a lover cheat on you, or walking into a pole. Different areas, but a deeper root issue.

Yeah, something about getting that ringing in your ears while flying in a plane is strangely spiritual, combined with getting a top view of the clouds and the eartb is still impressive.

For some context, I do follow Bob Ross and watch his painting episodes, and I really like how he makes his landscape paintings looks effortless. P.S. I recently watched Leo's latest video on how value is developed over time, and it got me thinking how much time and effort he really put into painting the way he did. Like he could just plop a random small mountain after doing a painting halfway through.

Lol seriously, even someone with low common sense and low intuition avoid dating suicidal people. They can literally feel how that person can drain their time and energy, that would have been put elsewhere. Tell the person to get help, and next, unless you have unlimited time and energy to involve yourself with such people.

@preventingdiabetes For example, if you really want to be good as a writer, read other works from writers, and do fanfiction, and so on. Same if it's related to art like being an illustrator, concept artist, dancer, fighter, musician, so on. Consume the products or services in the domain of life/mastery, in the ideal medium you want to be as a creator, as that also feeds the subconscious mind raw data to process and synthesis with other related or unrelated field, like a graphic novel is just book plus images. Also, get in touch with what inspired you to be involved in that field. Also be willing to diversify your sources of inspiration, do exercises and drill in techniques, set aside time to put yourself into creativity, and keep a catalogue and portfolio of what you do.

@gettoefl This does cut through most of the bullshit quickly.
