@Hojo if absolute doesn’t exist in the relative it ain’t that absolute haha

It’s so intense. Like you think awakening and letting go is cool and noble until you get mindfucked so deep you wanna hold on to those fantasies.

Anyone read this short story? It’s 16 pages long and easy to find on Google for free. Very interesting short story.

Leo banned himself from the blog.

@NewKidOnTheBlock I was thinking predator against predators but instead of Rick Hansen it’s a Predator.

@Leo Gura damn, that is his origin story isn’t it? Survival… damn The whole predator series is a childhood vow.

@Leo Gura the lyrics are text book country haha

There was/ is an AI country song at #1

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=PeTJb61E314&si=Tll--ZZy0n1hKNCy been listening to this open mic performance I did last year of the song I wrote called safe destiny. It’s actually very good. I’m gonna release it as a single under Pine Haven. enjoy

@Nemra Please also consider moderation and integration. Enjoy edit: I see you are done for now okay!

These early Arcade Fire concerts were profound… https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=g3B4iaRnyvk&si=Gdd3jruVqoGUwcmI

@enchanted You don’t need to dive into the most hardcore Krya or breathwork. His course is probably good for introductory level. The book is good I know and I’ve done some of his mediations and krya/ pranayama. It’s good. It makes sense to start where you are. This idea that you gotta go straight for advanced krya I think is unrealistic for most and potentially unsafe.

I really think AI hype is unrealistic. Chatbots are shittier than even a new hire human. Humans aren’t going anywhere. Take education seriously. You got this!

@Tudo 1. sign up for dating apps if you are in a big area. Consider investing in someone who can help you set up a good peofile 2. go to regular social events for example on the App Meetup and begin socializing 3. consider coach approach in a way you want 1. Go on dates, fail, learn, keep going Girlfriend

I mean, there really is at this moment only my direct experience and whatever is in it.

@Inliytened1 Yeah I think that makes sense. Different people will naturally be drawn to different religions or understanding of spirituality.

@Inliytened1 Well, I doubt it. I’m sure some here have had awakenings. Awakened is a nebulous term, likely state dependent. People here aren’t like a group or something. They are or should individual philosophers, seekers, students, budding sages and artists.

@Inliytened1 Ain’t no us pal.

If this is how your first post goes… being banned is likely hahah. He doesn’t even grasp what a Holon is. If a human isn’t part of the universe…. How would it see at all? If you are part of the universe you are the universe so of course the only thing that could ever see is the universe. It’s pretty mundane but this guy comes with a lot of fire because haha, new agers. It’s funny these people demonize these Hindu new age like ways of thinking but still think it’s fine that some guy 2000 years ago was a magic super human who saved humanity even though there is 0 proof of him, or the saving. They never pause to think…. “Hmmm, what if everyone is really wrong and lost?”

I doubt it. He came here to push against ideas he thinks are false. He even shared his preferred YouTube content which you can check out. Don’t patronize the guy either. They are likely an adult with their preferred idealogy. He is likely a Christian ideologue who thinks these other world views or, states of consciousness are the devil. Banning is Leo’s choice and I don’t think actualized is in the work of converting people. People who engage require some degree of respectful openness.

This Church of Eternal Logos guy is a very serious 36 year old person, very serious about metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy and chose to become religious. He is an orthodox Christian. He has an interesting perspective on Buddhism, though I think he doesn’t understand and mischaracterizes the heart of Buddhas teachings. I think Buddhism should not be the entitery of one’s metaphysical and epistemological understanding but I wouldn’t disregard it either. The teachings of the Buddha when actually studied have profound truths. But, they are no complete teachings. So, often it’s learned along with others if done properly I think. This work is hard! Like, how can anyone do sense making with the maze of concepts people swim in? It’s so interesting. This is the work. Wow

@Inliytened1 I think it was that he was new and right out of the gate asserting a lot, show clear lack of actually study and contemplating. He went straight to asserting he knew both the material of discussion and Leo’s views on it which he didn’t. Open arrogance and disrespect. I think Leo recognizes closed minds after doing this for 10 years. When entering a new community there is an etiquette one can take to ease in, question these ideas and learn.

RIP Blog

Feeling better!
