Thought Art

We are working in a very challenging space. I’ve suffered from suicidal thoughts long before find Leo’s work. Reality is hard, brutal and scary in general. I’m not gonna blame other people for my own immaturity though. I have spoken to other people who watch Leo… and yeah they can seem a bit condescending and combative. This is a negative aspect of some of Leo’s work that he is sort of a warrior… but people are like that anyway. Sort of like speaking to a parrot. Leo’s videos don’t instantly make you more conscious. Unconscious people will take things and do… unconscious things with them… Leo’s work can be confusing. Newbies need to be taught how to go about this work at a safe pace… As a community we need to create a safe space. Perhaps contemplating what a video lecture is, what a forum is is crucial. These things are not medical professionals or medical services. They can be used healthily in conjunction with each other. It’s like looking at a map, then driving into a wall and blaming the map you don’t know how to drive. Take responsibility!

The article in a nut shell: Young depressed neurotic person still young and depressed and neurotic after watching YouTube videos. Blames others for his problems. thoughts on article: 1. No mention of Leo’s attempt to warn people of the dangers of the work or to make the forum a safer place 2. no ownership of responsibility of the people coming to the forum who clearly already had mental health problems 3. People on the forum and Leo don’t know you. If you are having panic attacks and have done 0 spiritual work… chances are that has nothing to do with spirituality. You need to seek professional advice. Leo is a YouTube channel where he shares his philosophical and spiritual insights. He is not a healthcare worker. 4. Thousands of people watch Leo’s videos and some will kill themselves. But, people are killing themselves anyway. There are a lot of vulnerable and disturbed young people in our society. Simply doing nothing isn’t going to help anyone. Anyone with suicidal thoughts should seek medical attention and call suicide hotline. For me personally, Leo’s work is about HONOURING YOUR LIFE! Suicide is not promoted here and never will be. However, it’s acknowledged the difficulty around assisted suicide for people in extreme suffering. Again, if you are suicidal call a help line. That’s what I did. I don’t blame others. 5. The subject matter here can be mentally destabilizing. Leo, mods and leaders of the forum should do their best to be responsible in how we talk about things like death, suicide etc… but we also have to be able to share our honest views of deep spiritual truths. It’s a complicated situation. 6. The article makes it seem like we don’t care about one another’s well being here. This is completely false. However, not everyone here is well educated, we don’t know one another, and this isn’t a place to find definitive advice on anything. Forums are not a place of truth, or solid mental health advice. Please use a professional for mental health advice not other people on a forum. Reality is imaginary. Death is imaginary. However, imagination is all that there is! Imagination is reality. Honour your life, take care of your body and mental health. Things being imaginary is no reason to harm yourself or others. This work is dangerous. So, tread lightly. Take full responsibility if your gonna partake in this work. 7. Please write articles that are balanced. It’s simply foolish to only take one side. Clearly tens of thousands of people are listening. How are they doing??

Personally, this work is turning me into a fountain of joy and love. Even my friends are commenting on how good my energy is these days. Qigong is a big part of that. I went through some rough spots. I don’t think the forum is toxic. People will complain about anything. I don’t trust Leo, I observe him and learn from him. But, I learn from plenty of others as well.

People REALLY care about art. Just not crappy art or art they never heard before. You gotta make good shit, and market it. (: You don't need a massive following to earn good money in the modern age. Plenty of online courses teach you to make a decent living from a mall audience (ie 1000-15000 fans)

I don’t mind hair, but prefer well kept hygiene ? I prefer less than more. But I’ve grown since I was younger. Teenage me would be offended. Me now says it’s okay. I like men and women and am embracing masculine and feminine aspects of humans. *doesn’t care what people thinking of her body hair -wants everyone to know* ?

“Growing up in some strange storm nobodies cold nobodies warm i went out into the night i went out to find some light”!

Source? Philosophy religion? What’s it from

Well, doesn’t matter the substance when you are busting a nut ? and feeling love and joy. That’s real.

Isnt he technically still in the forum?

People love artists. There is room for different industries and all are important. Musicians inspired me to read, to pursue spirituality, to love myself and others. Musicians taught me about racism, wars, peace, human nature. Music stopped me from committing suicide, to become a better partner. art is powerful. check out: The Mission Of Art - Alex Grey

What’s awakening without a hot witch girlfriend?

I like what you are saying. Total self acceptance. Like you are perfect, yet you can make changes through healthy desire

No

What is so cool about this dream is how you can ask existential questions. Clearly this was programmed into it. If I was a fish I’d just be cruising around eating and shitting having a time. But, existential questions would not cross my mind. Really, the human experience for those who want to go deep is very fascinating. Human experience is definitely Devine even at the mundane level. The ability to self reflect, contemplate, awaken, etc is very interesting. During my awakenings I felt like I’ve put myself to sleep to slowly awaken to maximize love over millions of years. (I don’t trust all my insights though)

Except, it also does because without survival you can’t awaken. You awaken as a human realizing it’s Infinity. But, the human must protect its body and assets if it wants to avoid suffering. You must maintain your rational survival drive if you want to keep surviving. Survival is the root… the flower that blossoms is purpose and awakening.

Whatever you imagine it to be

@Someone here Personal opinion on this after lots of awakenings: drop the asceticism. Desire can be holy and purpose can be holy. What matters is the consciousnesses you operate at.

In a beautiful way

Rest up

@Greatnestwithin You’ve got infinity for all that. For now you’ve committed to a human experience. This is the dream.

@Leo Gura For me peak experiences shaped the way I go about life. Made meditation, Qigong, reading, journaling and my work week an ever growing art. I feel like I have a reference experience of the highest beauty. So, I work to embody that soberly in my life. Which, includes a lot of the lower level success stuff, mindfulness, good Qi, etc When you love, forgive and integrate all aspects of yourself YOURSELF you simply wanna to love reality and be it’s friend. Seems no matter how high the awakening is you come back to mundane reality and responsibility. So, this has lead me to Toasit inner alchemy and Qigong for grand Qi circulation. And living a life helping others experience peace through my work and coaching. To live a balanced and joyful life. ?

Yogalap has a good pay what you can online course starting at 14 bucks Also consider Qi circulation for sustained higher states and essence cultivation

Cuz I wanna be closer to truths within the relative domain and live a functional, practical and sane existence. Gotta embrace not knowing. Develop adeptness at the basic domains of life, and mastery in a thing or two l.

It’s a little white powder
