Leo is partially right. NSA has introduced backdoors into encryption algorithms that itself help create. In 2013, interest began to increase considerably when it was discovered that the NSA had potentially implemented a backdoor into the P-256 curve based Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm.[11] While not directly related,[12] suspicious aspects of the NIST's P curve constants[13] led to concerns[14] that the NSA had chosen values that gave them an advantage in breaking the encryption.[15][16] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519 However, there are elliptic curves that are currently mathematically unbreakable. You just have to use the right one.

Not if it's end-to-end encrypted.

Can substance be defined? Even language itself has a particular beauty that can't be substantiated. What is the substance that substance is made of?

Organize your time better. You can set time on Saturday to hang out with your friends, but Sunday you can dedicate only to yourself and your projects.

I use services from publishdrive.com. They handle all the distribution to bookstores and digital libraries (including audible). You should create an outline first. Think of it as the skeleton of the main events of the book. Once you have the skeleton, then you can start attaching details. There is a plan. Recording the audiobook is the most time-consuming part. Audible has some standards for quality that you have to meet, but it's not a big issue. Distribution is the easiest part.

You can submit your manuscript to a publishing house through an agent, or you can Self-Publish. Keep in mind that the gatekeepers of the publishing industry are about 80% women, and most of the books published these days are tailored to women (for some men these days don't read books). So if you are going the traditional publishing route, you will need to learn how to placate women. It's fun.

Explaining paradoxes of logic through logic is paradoxical.

Reaching in is not so hard, but how does one stay there? I too have reached such states, but eventually, I fall off. The reason why I fall off, I think is because my attention is not trained enough to stay with the "Not Knowing". My attention wants to "Know" which grounds me back into duality. The best tool I have for improving my attention is mediation. Do you know of a better way besides psychedelics?

I think it was 40, 000 words.. When the words flow, they come through you, not from you. It's a story of a Father and Son, told through the voice of the Spirit. You can read it for free on Medium: https://medium.com/the-way-of-being/book-description-synopsis-7e004c5092d8

Wrote 3 books. They are hard to categorize because they exist on the border between duality and non-duality. Wrote the first book in 10 days. Enjoyed the insights and the experience of writing so kept doing it. My rule is to write at least 1000 words per day. There are days when the words just flow on the page and you get into a flow state. That is really motivating. Read a lot.... Develop your own style... and just DO IT.

To create attraction, you must create polarity. if you create strength, you must create weakness. If we were all equal in every aspect, we would never get attracted to anything.

If you are enlightened, then who am I?

Did you choose your current life? It chooses you.

What method?

Everyone should be able to validate any teachings in their own experience.

I think he just needs to focus. @Focus

I think Leo is mining Bitcoin on the same server where the forum is hosted. Just kidding

When one day money loses its value, and thus its power, people would start seeking the True Power.

This story I found in the book "Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously" by OSHO. Enjoy! The story is that one man became a chakravartin — and it happens only once in thousands of years that a man becomes a chakravartin. Even Alexander the Great was not a world conqueror; there was yet much left unconquered. And he died very young, he was only thirty-three: there was not even time enough to conquer the world. What to say of conquering, the whole world was not even known. Half of the world was unknown, and the half that was known, even that was not conquered. This man, of whom I am going to tell you the story, became the chakravartin. It is said that when a chakravartin dies — because a chakravartin happens only in thousands of years, he is a rare being — when he dies he is received in heaven with great rejoicings and he is taken to a special place. In Jaina mythology, in heaven there is a parallel mountain to the Himalayas. The Himalayas are just made of rocks and earth and ice. The parallel Himalayas in heaven is called Sumeru. Sumeru means the ultimate mountain: nothing can be higher than that, nothing can be better than that. It is solid gold; instead of rocks there are diamonds and rubies and emeralds. When a chakravartin dies he is led to Sumeru mountain to engrave his name on it. That is a rare opportunity; that happens only once in thousands of years. Of course this man was immensely excited that he was going to write his name on Sumeru. That is the ultimate catalogue of all the great ones that have been, and will also be the catalogue of all the great ones who are going to be. This emperor was becoming party to a lineage of supermen. The gatekeeper gave him the instruments to engrave his name. He wanted a few of his men who had committed suicide just because their emperor was dying — they could not think of living without him. His wife, his prime minister, his commander-in-chief — all the great people who were around him, they all had committed suicide, so they had come with him. The emperor wanted the gatekeeper to let them all come to see him engrave his name, because what is the joy if you go alone and engrave your name and nobody is there even to see? — because the real joy is that the whole world should see. The gatekeeper said, “You listen to my advice, because this is my inherited profession. My father was a gatekeeper, his father was a gatekeeper; for centuries we have been gatekeepers to Sumeru mountain. Listen to my advice: Don’t take them with you; otherwise you will repent.” The emperor could not understand, but he could not even go against his advice — because what interest could that man have in preventing him? The gatekeeper said, “If you still want them to see, first go engrave your name; then come back and take them with you if you want. I have no objection even now if you want to take them, but just in case you decide not to, then there will be no place, no chance … they will be with you. You go alone.” This was perfectly sane advice. The emperor said, “That’s good. I will go alone, engrave my name, come back, and call you all.” The gatekeeper said, “I am perfectly agreeable to that.” The emperor went and he saw the Sumeru shining under thousands of suns — because in heaven you cannot be so poor as to have just one sun — thousands of suns, and a golden mountain far bigger than the Himalayas — and the Himalayas are almost two thousands miles long! He could not open his eyes for a moment, it was so glaring there. And then he started looking for a space, the right space, but he was very much puzzled: there was no space; the whole mountain was engraved with names. He could not believe his eyes. For the first time he became aware what he was. Up to now he was thinking he was a superman who happens once in thousands of years. But time has been from eternity; even thousands of years didn’t make any difference, so many chakravartins had happened already. There was no space on that biggest mountain in the whole universe where he could write his small name. He came back, and now he understood that the gatekeeper was right not to take his wife and his commander-in-chief and his prime minister and other intimate friends. It was good that they had not seen the situation. They would still believe that their emperor was a rare being. He took the gatekeeper inside and he said, “But there is no space!” The gatekeeper said, “That’s what I was telling you. What you have to do is to erase a few names and write down your name. That’s what has been done; my whole life I have been seeing this done, my father used to say this has been done. My father’s father — none of my family have seen Sumeru empty, or any space ever. “Whenever a chakravartin has come he had to erase a few names and write his own name. So this is not the whole history of the chakravartins. Many times it has been erased, many times it has been engraved. You just do your work, and then if you want to show your friends you can bring them in.” The emperor said, “No, I don’t want to show them and I don’t want to even write my name. What is the point? — someday somebody will come and erase it. “My whole life has become utterly meaningless. This was my only hope, that Sumeru, the golden mountain in heaven was going to have my name. For this I have lived, for this I have staked my life; for this I was ready to kill the whole world. And anybody else can erase my name and write his. What is the point of writing it? I will not write it.” The gatekeeper laughed. The emperor said, “Why are you laughing?” The gatekeeper said, “This is strange, because this too I have been hearing from my grandfathers — that chakravartins come, and seeing the whole story, just turn back; they don’t write their names. You are not new: anybody having a little intelligence would do the same.” In this whole world what can you gain? What can you take away with you? Your name, your prestige, your respectability? Your money, your power — what? Your scholarship? You cannot take anything. Everything will have to be dropped here.

One must not reject the fact that they are rejecting things.

People need to externalize their power in order to live in consensus reality. When they externalize their power, they must create abstractions to which they will delegate their power. Money is such an abstraction of delegate power. In other words, money has value because people mutually agree that money has value. Money has no intrinsic value in itself. Many people can't see beyond this abstraction and spend their whole lives chasing money as if it's the Source of true Power.

When the feminine role moves into the territory of the masculine role, the masculine role has two options: 1) Move into the feminine role. This is simply a reversal of roles. 2) Become a stronger man and change the definition of masculinty. @Karmadhi It seems that you have chosen the first option. Instead of whining on forums like a woman, try to become a stronger man and choose option 2.

Easy. Make it private. Then the problem becomes how to improve private education, but that is an easier problem to solve.

When you are born, everything is new. When everything is new, your mind needs more time to perceive your surrounding. Thus, your time perception is slowed down because you need longer time to perceive your surrounding. As you age, everything around you becomes familiar. When everything is already known, your mind doesn't need to assign as much attention and time to perceive your surrounding. Thus, time appears to go faster when you get old. You can solve this with an experiment... If you are going home via the same route for a long time, change your route if you want your perception of time to slow down.
