I also like this video, where it’s Kyle Kulinski listing off concrete policy reasons to vote for Biden.

Background: I was just rejected from all three of my top dream schools and now I have to settle on a lesser known college. I have been in a puddle of tears for a while and I am beating myself up for it. One of Osho's top teachings was this idea that jealousy was against human happiness and completely pointless. That it was a trick played by the society to exploit the individual. But isn't competing something natural and required for any life form to survive. From competing with other organisms for food and mating, to competing for spots at a University, isn't competition indicative for the survival of a finite organism?

There was a recent blog post from Leo that I really liked because it reminded me of Islam. Which reminds me of this quote from the Qur'an https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Allah,_the_Best_Deceiver_(Qur'an_3:54)

Not only is God the greatest deceiver, he is the only deceiver. Its rumored that when enlightened people read Abrahamic texts, they can understand what the texts actually mean beyond the metaphors.

Because the Soviet Union fell and China liberalised.

The Soviet Union and Maoist China already beat you to it.

First and foremost I would establish Esperanto as the official 'Earth language'.

In your blog post Poor Leonard Suskind, Leonard asks: 9) “Why do so many human beings believe in GOD?” And you responded with You will find this very difficult to believe but here’s the honest answer: for the exact same reason that most human beings believe in the existence of the Sun. Could you please elaborate on this? Like, simple people who intuitively believe in God, is there a wisdom to it? These people are often mocked by atheist comedians and anti-religious crusaders such as Richard Dawkins as being stupid and backwards hicks. But from what I intuit from your blog post as that these people are seeing something that the scientists don't see due to the brainwashing the scientist had to go through to get his PhD. So could you please elaborate on this comment? Why is average people believing in God as obvious as believing in the Sun. Do these people intuit God from nature's beauty, or something like that?

Of course, SDi taught us this.

So the believers are one up on the scientist in this regard because they're being more open minded whereas the scientist screeches for proof?

Because there's different interpretations of absolute truth with get passed through different cultural filters. Even without organized religion, very highly conscious, spiritualty ''woke'' people are always disagreeing with each other. Which is precisely why the Buddha placed such an emphasis at verifying and arriving at truths on your own.

I've had the same problem of being raised by immigrants who made it more difficult for me to socialize by locking me in a cultural bubble, refusing to adapt to English. Where is your family from?

@Leo Gura

I wanted to get links that would embed, could not figure out how to do that. If any of the mods would like to edit this post and embed all the images from the links below and re-upload them on this thread, please do so. Also, @Leo Gura, please fix the Drag files here to attach section of this forum. Every time I try to upload an image, I get this error message: Now to the topic. At the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C., there is an exhibition for Asian art, a lot of which reminded me of Actualized.org. Some of the teachings I read reminded me of Leo's videos. Recently, they opened up a room specifically dedicated to Buddhist shrines.

Such a country already exists it’s called Liberia and Somalia.

This is big news, this is the second time in the same year this has happened.

That reminds me of this one article about how German and U.S. Conservatives actually have little in common. Please read the article below, it's mind-blowing, revealing just how stupid American Politics is. https://www.politicalcompass.org/counterpoint-20211001-german-election

Do you consider Matt Khan to be a good quality teacher? He seems a bit mainstream, going on magazine covers and all.
