Done. My new, novel, updated model of reality. The answer to the nature of life, death and the universe. Behold. The very foundation of every scientific institution of the planet is shaking right now

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I made a small diagram based upon my understanding of what he's saying here. I suppose THIS is what Leo Gura is saying? I understand the problems with trying to conceptualize this stuff too much, but hey, we need something to hold onto.

Still not clear on this. If someone claims that they can levitate, isn't the notion of 'evidence' is very simple? That I (or other third-party auditors) can literally see the person levitate, that's it. If the guy can float in the air, cool, film it, have 100 scientists observe real-time and upload it to YouTube or something, and rake in the million dollars like Carl mentioned. I'm not a materialist btw, I'm just confused as to why this hasn't happened yet.

Yeah that Hasan video was a little immature. In retrospect I think I actually see your point. Ultimately to solve wealth-inequality, we need lawmakers pushing policies at the government level, like the 10-million wealth cap you mentioned somewhere. Playing these silly games won't get us anywhere, as the regulators will eventually sweep in and everything goes back to status quo. Even worse is when the hedge funds themselves start playing these games, could turn ugly I suppose.

This is from an NBC news article: "There's no evidence that any of this is illegal..." https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/gamestop-reddit-explainer-what-s-happening-stock-market-n1255922 Bloomberg Opinion piece: "Is it securities fraud? I don't know" https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-26/will-wallstreetbets-face-sec-scrutiny-after-gamestop-rally

The GameStop short-squeeze is not the illegal market manipulation that these hedge funds participate in. There's a lot of grey areas here. Buying stock with hopes that you can sell higher (after more people buy in) is technically not market-manipulation. And tbh I don't care that much, screw these billion-dollar hedge funds. Let the dog run loose for a while, and HODL till it gets 'em in the underbelly.

@StateOfMind I try doing this all the time. But I keep getting stuck into weird self-reference loops and glass walls that are hard to articulate. I remember one of the examples Leo mentions somewhere - you're chasing an animal in a maze, but it keeps disappearing around a corner as soon as you begin to get a glimpse of its tail. Whatever 'Truth' is, it keeps remaining just out of grasp. It's like the truth is so close within grasp, yet it's so far out of reach. It should be so obvious, yet, is seemingly so confounding.

@Girzo I tried it, but It excludes the quoted text that he is responding to, so you have to click on the link to view the full post. I really wish the forum software API could accommodate that feature. Can't be too hard to implement.

You guys asked @Leo Gura some really good questions in this thread. Well done! I have complied all the amazing nuggets of wisdom here. I wish we could get more information on the nature of the metaphysical part of reality, and less about the end goal (Godhead) itself. How is the Illusion structured? How does the architecture of the Dream look like? Where does Karma/reincarnation fit it? How to become better at manifesting material success by manipulating meta-aspects of reality? I'm sure psychedelics would allow access to these bits of information, that model helped him before, I don't see any reason it wouldn't now. Compilation 1:

As we congratulate president-elect Joe Biden on his victory, let us take a moment to thank @Forestluv for all the regular updates and commentary on this thread. With all the nonsense out there made up with unreliable sources, I personally found his posts on this thread to be extremely useful, and was continually following them, alongside the New York Times live report, Associate Press and Decision Desk HQ. Thank you very much!

@Forestluv Thank you very much for taking the time to post these updates on the thread. Your posts have been very useful in providing us a broad picture of the electoral process, and what/what not to expect. Much obliged.

@r0ckyreed But then, who is it that is actually conscious of the fact? Just hold your hand in front of you and snap your fingers, and listen to the sound that it generates. Now who is it that is actually aware of that snapping sound? Yes it certainly is not the body or the mind. But someone or something is definitely conscious of the same, don't you agree? It feels like there is 'someone' behind this shell of a persona, watching very observantly, non-judgmentally of everything that is happening. It also feels like whatever this thing that is watching closely is, it must be sort of immune or unfazed by the events on the outside. This is what I could gather so far, do let me know what you think.

But there is nothing here? I can only sense a human being sitting in a room in front of a laptop typing this question to you. And the 'real me' has somehow taken on the identity of this particular piece of flesh and bone that is typing right now. This cannot be Absolute Truth because the question "who am I?" is still unanswered. What am I missing exactly?

Oh no, not at all. No coincidences, it's all God's work. That sneaky mother fucker.

It's probably all just an act, a sort of artistic portrayal of stage Red. I don't want to be too judgemental (not claiming that you are, I can see where you're coming from). I'll admit I wasn't aware of that incident with Gaahl, holy shit. But who knows what really went down that night.

@K Ghoul To be fair, I'm not saying Gaahl himself is stage Red. I think that description is more suitable for the overall theme and ambience of black metal in general. Gaahl is more likely Orange portraying Red. "Satan."

So you're telling us that there is no reward upon reaching the end of the tunnel, or am I misunderstanding something? Maybe you mean there's no bliss at the material level, but at some kind of meta-level there must be bliss and ecstasy to be found, right? If not, then what is it exactly that incentivizes one to move toward God and Love? Doesn't make any sense.

Found it. Congenital Analgesia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain. Interesting.

@Someone here I have tried to contemplate this question for a long time, so let us examine this objectively. Is there a way out of suffering? There must be. Just dose on MDMA and Ketamine, simple. If we can find a way to flood the brain with Serotonin, and limit neurotransmitter response to prevent physical pain, then that's it. We have inhibited any possibility of (1) physical pain and (2) mental suffering. No problems now, whatsoever the external situation, we will always be happy. "Drug-induced euphoria", so to speak. The only an issue left is to make this state permanent and without drugs. In any case, we know that it is indeed possible. But I'm left with a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that there's a piece to the puzzle that I'm missing here. This brings to light the idea of 'surrendering', as mentioned by Leo and many other masters. I'm looking at it closely for now, but I'm not able to make sense of it, it's... so convoluted, so counter-intuitive, so crazy. I will report further findings as I encounter them.

@Shmurda Some very valuable tips here. I think I might come back to you with some other questions when they arise. Thanks!

I don't know what to make of this, I'm still a bit skeptical. It's most probably bullshit, but I was taken aback because this wasn't posted by some crazy UFO freak's website. This was actually put out by The Hill. Wtf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Out1h2Iy_p4

@VerballyHazardous That's what seemed strange to me. I'd normally assume once they see Earth, they'd roll up their windows and speed past as quickly as possible lmao. @Carl-Richard https://www.foxnews.com/science/pentagon-ufo-unit-spotlight-vehicles-earth No pictures yet, but I've attached a banana as a placeholder for now.

@Leo Gura If someone is being tortured like in those drug cartel torture videos, how would they surrender? I've (regrettably) seen videos of cartel members flay someones face, and poke around the insides while they were still alive. How is it even possible to surrender to something like that bro? When the complex, stubborn survival machinery, which is already largely unconscious, starts winding its wheels once you're getting tortured, what power can anyone have in stopping it? Why would God do this to people bruh, wtf.

@Mu_ I agree, the reality is I cannot be sure of anything apart from the sense of self. In fact, I don't think that sense of self is reliable either. I don't know anything, who I am, where I am, how I got here, or what's even happening right now.

@louhad Alex Jones and Infowars, perhaps. "The frogs are turning gay!"
