  1. Understanding and contemplating sleep and dreams according to Advaita :
  2. @nufan sorry it’s difficult for me to understand what you are saying .
  3. just finished rewatching this . summary and key points from ChatGPT: The video tackles the classic philosophical question: Why does anything exist at all, instead of absolutely nothing? Leo argues that this is more fundamental than questions about how the universe began. Scientists can potentially explain how one state of the universe developed into another, but that still leaves the deeper question: why is there a universe in the first place? Key points “Nothing” is harder to define than it seems We normally imagine nothing as an empty space. But empty space is still something: space exists, time exists, and there could potentially be things within it. Absolute nothingness would mean no space, no time, no matter, no energy, no laws, no consciousness—nothing whatsoever. He divides reality into “being” and “non-being” The investigation considers existence (“something”), non-existence (“nothing”), and the supposed boundary between them. The crucial insight, according to Leo, is that the boundary cannot itself be an ordinary thing. If it were something, then you haven’t reached absolute nothingness. The distinction between something and nothing ultimately collapses This is the video’s major philosophical move. Leo argues that our ordinary concepts of “something” and “nothing” are conceptual distinctions created by the mind. At the deepest level, reality isn’t divided into two independent substances called “something” and “nothing.” Consciousness is presented as fundamental He argues that consciousness is the fundamental reality from which existence manifests. In his framework, consciousness isn’t something that merely appears inside the universe; rather, what we call the universe appears within consciousness. Reality is non-dual There isn’t ultimately a separate “observer” looking at an external “universe.” Subject and object—the experiencer and the experienced—are two conceptual aspects of a single reality. The ego/self is part of the illusion The ordinary feeling of being a separate individual is treated as something constructed by thought. If you identify completely with that separate self, you experience reality as “me versus everything else.” According to the video, recognizing the non-dual nature of consciousness undermines this separation. This is supposed to be directly experienced, not merely believed One of Leo’s strongest claims is that the answer can’t ultimately be obtained through intellectual reasoning alone. He presents direct consciousness/awakening as the way to verify the insight. In other words, the goal isn’t simply to adopt the belief “everything is nothing ” but to investigate experience deeply enough that the distinction collapses. The argument in one sentence The video argues that “something rather than nothing” is ultimately a false distinction: reality is a single, non-dual field of consciousness, and what we call the universe is consciousness manifesting itself.
  4. Insomnia can kill you or drive you insane . but god doesn’t sleep.
  5. My favorite cartoon when I was a child .
  6. The only match I enjoyed in the World Cup . I felt depressed after this match .
  7. Why do I need to know the truth ? because when I finally know , I would say “yes ! Finally! I KNOW “ and this would make me feel happy. So I actually don’t want to know the truth, I just want to be happy. pretty simple and obvious when you think about it.
  8. Pinning some topics to contemplate so that I don’t forget : - pedophilia. -childhood’s ignorance. -Tomboy girls . - physicality and solidity.
  9. So, you are god . And being and knowing that you are god sucks to you ?
  10. but that just circles back to the question of : “why is this a problem ? if it’s not a problem then where is the problem ?” 🔄
  11. Maybe , for you ,but how do you know you are alone ? Maybe you are not .
  12. And why is this a problem? And if it’s not a problem then where is the problem?
  13. I still have anger issues btw and I might fight someone today . But I’m working on shifting my mindset .
  14. Do you look through your own eyes? Or is that an unexamined assumption borrowed from your conditioning?
