I got Peter Ralston’s new book Whereof One Cannot speak. I just started reading it and am noticing one thing that doesn’t seem right. Peter Ralston states in the book that experience is subjective/relative/indirect and isn’t what is true/objective/direct. It seems like he is hinting at a veil of perception or something when he says our experience/perception isn’t truth. But it is. Qualia is Absolute Truth. Experience is what Truth is. I can understand if he was referring to something subjective within our experience, but experience itself is Truth. It cannot be otherwise. He also seems to hint at there being an objective world in which we interact with. I will continue reading and contemplating to see if any new understanding comes about, but it seems like Ralston may be meaning something totally different when he refers to Consciousness and experience/perception. But they are both the same in my eyes - no pun intended. Let me know your thoughts.

Keep up your great work on IG. I loved the Skyrim brain! 🧠 @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura Keep up your great work on IG. I really like how succinct your insights are on that. Keep it up.

I understand and appreciate your perspective. I see it the opposite way. Anger is the normalized emotion in men, whereas sadness, anxiety, fear, etc. are demonized and suppressed. Women, on the other hand, are ostracized for expressing anger, whereas expressing anxiety and sadness are more normalized for women than anger.

Cool stuff. I just read your post now Leo about you not disclosing chemical until in-person meeting. After your retreat, will you disclose the chemical to this community in the future?

I had it. It’s pretty good. I love root beer so it was good.

We are all asleep to a higher level of consciousness. Even the most awakened person is asleep relative to a higher level of consciousness but is at the same time more awake than the sleeping herd.

Leo’s birth is imaginary. Nonetheless, happy birthday.

Pretty much everything you do can be conformity. It is all about the motivation not the activity itself per se.

Protests.

Damn. That Mt. Everest blog post was a good one. Bring it back!

@Leo Gura i am loving the blog posts of late. Helps me integrate the work. Thanks!

Nice one! A great and powerful meditation. 🙏

Majorie Taylor Greene is the last person I would guess to stand up against Donald Trump. This is a step in the right direction for her, but I doubt the Devil has been defeated. The level of denial in these Conservatives is insane.
