Someone here

Yes you can say all that on a forum but in real life ,do you live according to what you are saying here ? Probably not . Let me tell you a little story : A friend of mine much older than I am, once told me that he had nothing to lose and he told me the exact same thing..that nothing matters to him. The judgemental jerk that I am..decided to judge his situation. I felt he was delusional . He had his comfort zone that matters. Often comfort zones kill motivation. Motivation to get out of the smaller comfort zone and to get into a bigger one. It basically hits the snooze button of our survival instincts. My friend had a lavish apartment, a good job, a great girlfriend, enough money to lead a very comfortable life. Life seemed great but suddenly things went haywire. he had a breakup, he was fired. His comfort zone was shattered. Initially he binge drunk his way out of depression. Somewhere between all this mayhem, he realized he had something to look forward, something to lose..his happiness. He did struggle for a good couple of years. He took professional help. He ended up in a much better position that what he was in. Moral of the story : We all have something that matters to us..sometimes we already have them but we don't realize until we lose it. our relations, happiness, money, desires,passions. For some who haven't reached their dreams, the beauty of monotony of doing what needs to be done to get there is something that would matter to you. Life throws you choices. Humans take decisions. Being happy is all one needs and it matters to everyone. If you are happy, you wouldn't want to try hard, if you are not, you would. Things wouldn't matteronly if you attained nirvana.

Not sure .I need to see the free samples first. But I trust Leo's level of wakefulness. He is REALLY a better teacher than most of those other spiritual teachers you find on YouTube. Its upto you, I am very much a active listener of Leo's youtube Videos.. I find nowhere the depth & variety of topics he covered in all YouTube or anywhere else. I have knowledge about Non duality or Advaita what in India it is called. But he mixes advance spirituality with advance theories of science & gives you new perspective. I am admirer of Leo & his capacity to explain deepest topics. Sheer topics he covered is of very much variety & depth. How he knows all this ? He is definitely a active reader, contemplator & a good presentor. @Breakingthewall it's obvious and clear as the sun in the middle of the day .

@Gesundheit2 i think it's obvious. You didn’t need to say it .

If I'm trying to date someone just to get laid, I'd just hire a prostitute instead. Most women I've met sense this kind of intend, since even with moderate levels of attractiveness women get A LOT of attention from men (I'm talking about 3–10 guys trying to get with them at any given time, rough estimate), so they are more experienced at this kind of encounter and will just out right reject you if that's not what they are looking for.

A guy like me, never gets a girlfriend. I have my own priorities. Office, gym, cooking and start-up. From where will a guy like me be able to give time to anyone? I don't like to hangout for parties, movies and group trips. How could I socialize? I will wait forever to start a conversation with a girl, breaking the ice is a big deal for me. Introvert. My honest and straight forward reply can hurt anyone. I can't speak sugar coated lies to please a girl. I don't believe in casual relationships. Even though we are living in the 21st century, love marriage is a big taboo in India. If I see no future with her I can't ruin anyone's life for my pleasure. Hope you got an idea of the type of guy who will be single forever.

Testosterone is essential for our sexual health and general health..a man with low testosterone is like a car without enough fuel. Healthy Ways to increase it: 1 semen retention. 2 lifting weight . 3 running . 4 Sun light. 5 cooling the testicles . 6 eating lots of raw eggs. 7 eating lots of garlic and onion and spices . 8 eating fish . 9 eating any food that is rich in vitamin D and Zinc (eg. Red meat). 10 having high self-esteem. 11 cold showers . 12 sexual arousal. It helps your testosterone to get a boner every now and then. 13 sex (yes it ACTUALLY increases testosterone as opposed to what masturbation does. Which can show us that it has to do with the psychology of it..when you have sex you feel like a boss and that increases your T ..but when you fap you feel like a loser and that decreases your T). 14 sleeping well. 15 water fasting combined with at least 100 push ups a day(burning fat and convert it to muscle). Things that DECREASES testosterone to avoid them: 1 excessive ejaculation of course. 2 sugar (white sugar..feel free to eat all the fruits you want). 3 shampoo (the chemicals in it are bad for Your T) 4 warm baths. 5 low self-esteem . 6 stress and anxiety and depression . 7 porn( dopamine is related with testosterone ..high dopamine from porn or junk food or video games can actually decrease your testosterone. 8 fluoride (don't ever drink your toothpaste water). 9 nicotine . 10 Soy( stop eating nutella and ice cream). 11 alcohol. Feel free to add more to my list. Thanks.

What if I can't remove myself from the situation, can't change it ,and can't accept it ? What then ? Hit my head into the wall? Praying to an imaginary God who doesn't give a fuck? Or suicide myself? You know, some times it gets REALLY fucking dark that nothing makes sense anymore. There are people who suffer unimaginable amounts of suffering in this world.

It can be ..potentially. but not actually. Up until now at least . Currently porn is not “bad for society”. In fact, there has been strong correlation with sexual assault rates dropping in countries where porn becomes more available. While there is no strong evidence that porn actually causes the sexual assault rates to drop, the correlation is there. The worst thing you can say about porn is that young people, lacking a comprehensive and fact based sex education, turn to porn and get the wrong ideas. The problem is not porn but the lack of sex education. Incidentally, the same people who are against porn tend to be against comprehensive sex education as well. Odd that. It’s almost like they are against things just because they are involved with sex, not because they actually care about fixing real problems

Thinking outside the box is about embracing the mental state of not knowing instead of being addicted to knowing. Did Newton know about gravity before he 'got it' when the apple fell down onto him? Hell no, he was first in a state of not-knowing. Was Einstein addicted to 'knowing things' (= clinging to beliefs to make sense of the chaotic world) before he 'invented'/'realized' the (theory of) relativity of time & space? Hell fucking no. Einstein (and Niels Bohr and other great mystics) were curious and open-minded in extreme ways that most people can only dream of. Einstein acknowledged and embraced the fact that, absolutely speaking, he knows 0. Nothing at all. Even General Relativity is just a useful, accurate, mathematical *model* ... at best. Precisely because of the fact he acknowledged he didn't know shit, he was able to grasp such a magical mind-bending thing as the relativity of time & the curvature of space. What preceded these genius insights was <a total empty, calm 'state of not-knowing'>. Period.

Anything that you need to survive feels good when you need it. Try not breathing (for just a few seconds) and see how good that first breath feels. Or try not eating for several hours past mealtime. You feel very hungry, and the food tastes so good. Sleep is the same way. When you need sleep, it feels very good because that's what your body needs. This is because of evolution. Creatures that didn't enjoy eating, sleeping, or breathing wouldn't live very long, and wouldn't have much of a chance to make baby creatures like them. Creatures that did survived longer, and had little baby creatures that liked the same things.

Pardon my little knowledge in politics. I never was attracted to anything related to politics since I was a child . I saw my dad and his friends arguing about political issues in the country and I just couldn't figure out what's so appealing about it . To me, politics is a very toxic endeavour. People in power are all crooks anyway. Consider Trump vs Hillary. Both sides said the other was the devil. The truth? Both sides are right, at least on this one. Trump vs Hillary brings up something else: how can American people possibly be motivated to get out and vote if doing so means facing choices like THIS? Politics is just a whole lot of nastiness. People argue over it. People fight over it. Friendships are broken over it. Family members stop speaking to each other over it. Is this REALLY something you WANT to be involved with? I mean, the world is nasty and divisive enough as it is. Who is REALLY ‘right’? Both sides say their way is the ONLY way, and the other side is bad. But all in all, the economy can go bad with either side in power. Wars start with either side in power. Nobody REALLY seems to be able to get things right. Both sides just look like a bunch of incompetent fools who only THINK they are right. Meanwhile, they enjoy blaming EVERYTHING on the other side when things go wrong. I know that politics affect my life indirectly Everything around you is affected by political decisions; schools, hospitals, jobs, rules in society, the environment, what you buy and what you can't buy, the quality of life and million other different aspects to every moment you breathe. But I just didn't find it appealing or worthy for my consideration. Even though my life purpose is to become a philosopher. But I would just focus on metaphysics and epistemology. No politics.

Thanks for the info dude ?. So soy from resources like cow's milk and soybean are not what I should be concerned about .. As it isn’t yet proven that it mimics estrogen effects on the body ? But then what does(from the common foods that we eat ) work like estrogen I'm the body ? But what about beef and pork products, chicken and turkey products that are constantly being fed a lot of estrogen to make them gain fat and weight so they can be sold for more money. They are also getting exposed to many estrogen like substances from the ubiquitous use of so many plastic products. . It absolutely should be illegal to feed any animals any forms of estrogen or any other hormones. P.S May I ask you what you work for a living? Are you a doctor? Or nutrition expert? Or what?

Interesting. I'm wiling to remove soy from the list. But I read somewhere that soy affects the body like the female hormone estrogen. Is that correct ?

@Godhead oh and I forgot to mention..that owning a gun and living kinda thug life increases your testosterone

Like what ? Mention one of them and then Google it . Do your research and find out . All of the mentioned above are clinically proven (whether what increases VS. Decreases).

@Carl-Richard in your opinion, what exactly did open the gates for the scientific revolution? I mean the Revolution of science and technology for the first time, Which was firstly revolution of science and technology in the 1760 s ... (the middle of the 19th century), which is also known as the industrial revolution.

Death is the ultimate fear that humans have. Death is no joke . I contemplated my Death before in a failed suicide attempt. I simply couldn't do it . The unknown will fuck you in the ass.

Thanks. Will look it up .

I don’t have any proof but my intuition tells me that time is circular. Linear time is analogous to when people used to think the Earth was flat, then people discovered if you go far enough west you end up in the East. Similarly I believe if you go far enough into the future you’ll end up in the past. This means that our past is also our future, which explains how the ancients built the pyramids and so on. This also explains why most cultures revere their ancestors, to such a degree that until recently the search for knowledge was usually conducted by reviewing ancient scrolls. So at some point in the future the human race will build the pyramids and then some event will occur which will wipe out our cultural knowledge and the cycle will repeat again. this also explains the Bible Code, how the ancient knew of events to come and used computers to encode these events into the Bible. However even though there is a general cycle I dont believe history repeats exactly the same way as there is an element of random variability. So each time the historic cycle repeats it is a bit altered creating a variation on a general theme. If you tell most people time is circular as the world is round they will think you lost it. But isnt it a more beneficial paradigm than seeing time as linear?

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao .

True . eternity has no beginning and no end .but why do people refuse to see that time is a circle?Only in that way can eternity be understood. This moment, now, is but a point on our finite timeline.We are linear beings with respect to time. Our timelines are finite.Birth- Now- Death. Yet our finite timelines exist within eternity. As a fraction of a degree of arc On the circular timeline of infinity. All moments within eternity exist on this circular timeline.Each moment occurs, then eventually, following each moment after, forward on that circle, returns and occurs again.Eternity is an infinite repetition of the same moments. Any moment in eternity is both the beginning and the end of time.

What I'm really asking is really Did reality itself begin and will it end? Even if you make the implausible and irrational claim nothing existed before the universe, well then wouldn't that have been the "reality" at the time? But how does that make sense, if there was no mind here to conceive of or contemplate "reality"? No matter how you cook it, when you suggest reality had a "beginning," you spiral deeper and deeper into absurdity. It's impossible to explain how reality could begin..without something having had to begin it. That something, then, would itself have to have been "real" to begin reality. You're therefore stuck in an infinite regression. You're going to have to make something eternal.

I find him difficult to read and speaks a lot of philosophical word salad. What's his thoughts about how all of existence came about ?

Thank you .Will check them out .
