How would you define life experience? is it about traveling the world, trying different things, and meeting people. learning from life. Learning from the places you've been, the things you've done, and the people you've met . As long as you are able to learn new things every day, from situations around you, things you read, people you meet, things you do, and emotions you feel, you will be gaining life experience? I have a friend who has a job translating for different conferences all over the world. He has probably visited more than 10 different countries, but GOD is he boring and inexperienced in everything except his job. Last week he went to Japan, I asked him how it was and he said "I dunno". He didn't really notice any cultural differences, social mannerisms, or anything else. This is because he does not take interest in anything around him, so he doesn't learn anything from anything around him. So it seems to me that you can have tons of different experiences and still be inexperienced, how does that go ?

So far all of my awakenings were conceptual .but they were genuine. But I just want to have a mystical experience to see what all the fuss is about ..so I researched different substances .all of the classical well known psychedelics are illegal in India and I can't obtain them. I really don’t know how to shop for them in the dark web and I don't want to get myself into legal troubles. However..I found a substance that is completely legal and easy to obtain that can cause hallucinations in high enough doses and its very common and used in the kitchen..which is Nutmeg. Is Nutmeg considered a psychedelic ? I read online that it can cause hallucinations Should I try it out ? Did any of you guys experimented with Nutmeg before for spiritual purposes? Thanks.

? its even worse. God knows beforehand who will go where and makes us that way anyway. It’s not even our choice. He just decides we go to hell before we even exist and that’s it . Yeah most sufis are concerned atheists by mainstream Islam. Because they teach pantheism. Whereas mainstream Islam teaches that God is separated from you .

An enlightened person speaks as per his own realization of Truth. Mohammed did not speak as per his own realization of Truth. Allah did not speak to him directly. He spoke what was he was told to him by an angel of Allah in a dream state and he took it as the word of Allah and preached it. Even followers of Islam say that he was an ignorant, illiterate person. An enlightened person realizes Truth by himself and then speaks about it like Buddha. So, Mohammed was not an enlightened person. As Mohammed is the last prophet, no one can even recieve the message of God after him. In fact, there is no concept of enlightenment or liberation in Islam. Islam is limited to belief which turns into blind belief. As per Islam, at best, you can go to heaven which is a place of great physical pleasure but you cannot be liberated. Concept of exclusive enjoyment is wrong because enjoyment exists only with respect to pain. You cannot go beyond enjoyment and suffering as per Islam. You cannot attain liberation in this life as per Islam. Heaven, hell, Allah are mere matters of belief. You cannot arrive at Truth by yourself by applying your own intellect and other God given faculties. You can not question the words of God as told by Mohammed but accept them blindly. So I suggest that you drop this whole inquiry..forget about Mohammed and the quran ..and seek direct experience of Allah.

@Vibroverse He used to meditate in his cave before being a prophet, he was enlighten human, who chose to be away from people some time and went to find a reason for his life by being alone on a cave. Meditate and Think .that was his choice . He was realized and then went mad. After he went mad he wrote most of the Koran including where it says: Kill those who are non believing and take their wives. Very sad.

Hehe that's an interesting perspective. ? I always wondered if I'm god, how would I create the world?...why create 7 billion people and make them live together? If God wants to create and develop a soul, why not give him his own personal world to live in. It’s no extra work… at least not for someone capable of building this universe. personally suffer from a slew of brain disorders..including an anxiety disorder, likely OCD and generalized anxiety, a depressive disorder, and then a dissociative disorder as well. and so I can very confidently say that I am mentally ill. In fact, two summers ago I suffered the onset of what I would now call a psychotic episode, which was based entirely around the idea that I was the only being that existed and nothing else. However, the beginning of this psychosis was also marked by the onset of the dissociative disorder I suffer from, which is classified as depersonalization/derealization disorder. Similar to a psychotic disorder like schizophrenia, this particular dissociative disorder causes the sufferer to feel as if they themselves are not real, the environment in which they exist is not real, and..as relates to you and me..other people. However, the reason why I personally claim that I suffered a psychosis alongside the onset of this illness is because those who suffer from a dissociative disorder know that what they feel is not real, that it is merely a sensation. When these sensations and experiences began for me, I did not have enough self-awareness to know them to be only sensations, so I logically concluded that I was lost in the matrix or something, and that everything I was living was merely an illusion. It was truly awful to think that way, especially because I didn’t even think to seek help when the therapist I could see would just be another made-up figment of my imagination.

But the video alone did trigger a God-realization in me . I know its hard to believe. But it is what it is . You know that the video was so powerful and dangerous. Which is why you took it down. my Reason to believe it’s true: from an early age,i realised that my experience of consciousness only seems to apply to myself, and as a result i can only ever be entirely sure of my own mind. Ever since I was a very, very young child (7 or 8 years old), actually one of my first memories, was that I did not belong here. By here I mean, earth. I was sure I was brought here, I do not know how, and was part of an experiment.as if all of existence was a conspiracy against me and I'm the only real person in existence. I believed everything around me was a facade created for some reason that I was not aware of. I thought that when I left a room either everything outside that room did not really exist or that when I left the room all the people I encountered were wearing masks so they looked like me (human). I guess you are right .if it makes me feel bad about it.. then my realization is not complete. I need to awaken to Love .

But I'm not just taking Leo's word for It as an absolute fact ..I deeply contemplated the nature of my experience and found out that only my direct experience is the only sure to exist . I can't have access to other's minds so solipsism holds true as long as its defined as "only one's own mind is sure to exist ". It's not that I'm everything and everyone ..that's not what I realized ..I realized there isn't a "everyone ". It's just ME. The one typing this post ..is the only conscious person in existence.

Leo I've been struggling to integrate solipsism as well into my daily life since watching your solipsism video . Why do you live life then? If no one exists, then sit there forever and i guess you won't die, because consciousness makes you immortal and you are not physically alive, it's just illusion? Suppose you woke up tomorrow and knew that solipsism was true. What do you do? Tell anyone? There’s no-one to tell. Do something? There’s nothing to do. Try and learn what’s going on? There’s nothing to learn. You can’t even break free like in a matrix scenario- there’s not cage or illusion. There’s just you. True solipsism kills you .

Yeah that video was dangerous . Leo's videos can sometimes metaphysically skull fuck you deeply . Take a break from watching the advanced videos and just focus on basic self-help.

Think about this. A lot of people seem to stop at the fact that this is just a dream. Pretend it is a dream for a minute, and consider the following argument: - 1: Since you are existing in the dream, that means the dream itself exists... If nothing ever existed, this dream would not exist and you would not be experiencing it. - 2: You don't know why the dream is here, why you are in it, what is outside of the dream, what is outside of that, and so forth. You don’t know when it began, when it ends, where it's going, even whose dream it is if anyone's at all, etc. - 3: Everything you've ever known, experienced and will experience is within this dream. Now replace every "dream" in those three statements with "physical universe". Conclusion: There is literally zero difference between this being a dream or being reality... to the point where the words real and dream don't carry any meaning. If you wake up from the dream when you die, you are back to square one whether or not you wake up in a real universe or another dream.

Up

What techniques and exercises help with creating more solid and strong erections? I want my cock to be rock solid .I'm fucking someone soon .should I take viagra ? although I don't have a problem with getting it up but just to be in the safe side . Also how to achieve explosive orgasms ? I tried ejaculating hands-free and I noticed that it feels better than when i squeeze my dick tightly during an orgasm.

If you really didn't exist, 1.You couldn't have made this post . 2.This post wouldn't have appeared in my feed. 3.I wouldn't have answered to this post . If you could prove any one of the above 3 points as false, you don't exist. Else you exist.

@RMQualtrough @Godishere I will use the video game analogy instead of simulation. the way I play video games on my big flat screen. I start playing with the intention of understanding, winning and go to next level. I go through all emotions while playing. I may complete a level / lose /abort playing. But, during those brief moments, I tend to look at the reflection of myself in the dark computer screen and wonder what am I doing here? Then the NEXT level of the game starts automatically. I forget my reflection and start playing the next level. It does not matter if I win or lose. If you are staring at the dark screen looking at your refection for long, you will get confused. According to me this Universe is a large video game with a big dark console that can give the feeling of being in dream as well as reality. The purpose is to play. The larger purpose is to love the game and its players till the screen says END. So all this "we are not real " "everything is illusory " is not worth a penny when it comes to how does these insights help you flourish your life and live happily. That's just me. Another point .. I think it's ridiculous to police ourselves to such a degree that we avoid any reference to "individual other." I think you are limiting yourself to a great degree. I mean if you want to get down to it.. simply responding and writing responses on a forum equally assumes that there is an "individual other" as much as any other post even if you are careful about how you write. That being said.. I am not making that criticism of anyone or illusion of ego... I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy of even bringing up that criticism in the first place when you are on a forum interacting.

I simply disagree. Even using your analogy fails . We ARE watching the movie. So that means we exist. As impartial observers . So how can you say we aren't real ? At least we exist as passive observer. Let’s assume for a second that we live in a computer simulated world that looks like real to us, we live in a simulation, we and everything else is a simulation. So the question you might ask is do we really exist. In my opinion we do, regardless of what the “reality” is. Even if our existence is just inside a computer, we exist. We exist in the reality that is apparent for us. So if you are alive, and you are experiencing reality you exist. As far as what “really” means to you, I leave that to how you would want to define real. Maybe, for some, simulated reality is not really real. If you subscribe to that thought, than if the world runs on a computer program, we do not exist. I, however, would feel indifferent about it.

@Leo Gura no video this week ? I need my dose bro Srs tho .take a well deserved break .you've been working hard on the last few videos. Cheers.

Lol. The moment you ask the question “Do we exist?” you consent to the fact that we exist. you, I, and everyone who either reads or responds to the question. The moment you make any reference to yourself using pronouns such as I, me, my, and myself, you consent to the fact you exist. The moment you address or refer to anyone by name, pronoun, or directly, you consent to their existence.and acknowledge that you know they exist. So, why do “we” all continually play this neo advaita game on this forum where everyone pretends no one knows or can know ,anyone, including themselves, exists?

The Quran is just a book, written by people, no more, no less. Like every other book it contains some wisdom .but no wisdom or messages from a divine being (you can insert the word god here if you wish). It's importance or otherwise is only that which people choose to bestow. People easily indoctrinate themselves, while many also brainwash their children into their chosen belief patterns. People's gullibility is the issue, the Quran (and every other religious book) simply takes advantage of that fact.

@CuriousityIsKey because God is infinity. Its unlimited. It has to experience EVERYTHING. And it's all equally good for god. God doesn't judge illness as evil .only the ego does. And the ego is what's preventing you from seeing God's mercy even when you are ill. BTW. May I ask you what illness do you have ?

At the moment I'm not able to formulate a good objection to this. It's late for me. But I will say this, if you think this is so, then you must accept that everything is reducible to mind. (We really can't say that all things are reducible to physical .. as it leaves out the mental. So, the only way is to say you believe that everything is mind). I hope you see the consequence of believing so. I have stated my opinion, that body and mind are, in practice, indivisible and inseparable. If I were to make a statement similar to your own, it would have to be that everything is reducible to mind/body. Not just 'mind'; not just 'body'. The two are one, in effect

Maybe you don't like how you look ..you are too skinny or too fat or you don't like how big your nose is or you don't like how small your dick is . or whatever..you don't like your physical appearance..or you are struggling to get laid ..or stuck in a cycle of addiction..or you don't like your personality traits . How can one accept oneself unconditionally .would be a great episode.

I know he has a video on nihilism and older videos about depression. But in the light of new levels of awareness he reached recently,I hope that Leo can cover the topic of depression and suicidal thoughts more in depth. Why antidepressants don't work ..and a spiritual advanced solution.

I'm not sure if I'm addressing what you wrote. I think it's better to divide the mind into three parts, conscious, subconscious and unconscious. It's the default state for most things to be "below the surface". The unconscious is just imperceptible from the conscious mind, all I can say is that I think it does local parallel processings, while the conscious mind does global (brain-wide) linear processing. It doesn't matter what our habits are, how our conscious mind is structured, the unconscious always remains imperceptible for everyone. Then there's the subconscious floating between the two, we normally don't percieve this one either but it's always lingering just below the threshold of conscious awareness. But with things like paying attention, doing cognitive-restructuring techniques with pen and paper, doing meditation, these can be brought to the surface. The personality can be greatly changed this way. I think the human self-awareness, from which the "I" is born, which dominates the conscious mind in many people, also has its roots in the unconscious mind, but it's present in all three. It's only a matter of definition what we consider part of ouselves and what we don't. I found it best to equate the "I" with the self-aware parts of my being, but one can also identifiy with just the conscious "I", or the whole mind, or the whole human, etc.
