Someone here

He usually means that about things such astral projection, paranormal healing etc . But he doesn’t mind stuff like meditation and basic spirituality .

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Please know that I’m not judging you for feeling like this. I’ve actually been through a very similar experience myself in the past, and I’m genuinely glad I managed to make it to the other side. recognise that simply opening up, expressing how you feel, being honest with yourself and others and looking for ways to help yourself are already steps in the right direction. Don’t underestimate that. If talking about what you’re going through brings you even temporary relief, then please keep doing it. Don’t bottle things up. I would suggest starting by trying to make sense of your confusion. From what you’ve written, you sound more lost and confused about what you want from life than depressed because of your current circumstances. I have a feeling that even if you were living in a palace, you might still feel unhappy if you hadn’t figured out what was missing. Try to start by asking yourself what you actually want out of life. What would make you feel fulfilled? What kind of life would you genuinely enjoy living? And if you feel comfortable sharing, tell us a little about yourself . your age, what you do for a living, your relationship with your family, your friendships, and anything else you think might be relevant. I’d also suggest making two lists. The first should include the concrete things in your life that make you unhappy, and the second should include the things you believe would make you happier. Try to be as specific as possible. Then start working on both lists. Take meaningful steps to distance yourself from the things that are making your life worse, and start moving towards the things that could make it better. You don’t have to figure everything out overnight, but you do have to start somewhere. also you need to talk to a therapist , take potent medication or antidepressants , you need huge emotional support from people close to you , and you need a spiritual or religious practice of any kind that can help you .

Then talk to a therapist ASAP . Nobody can help you if you are not willing to help yourself.

@Jirh hello friend! Hope life is treating you well.

If solipsism is true, nothing happens to the apparent world of other people when an individual dies . It will just disappear from his experience. If solipsism is not true , then the world keeps existing after his death . And the closed ones to him will grieve his absence . So you’re asking do other people continue existing independently after one’s individual consciousness ends . The answer is maybe yes 50% and maybe no 50 % . So go figure that out on your own. But more importantly, figure out why are toying with the idea of suicide at all . adults are entitled to decide that they no longer wish to participate in existence if they are suffering horribly with no hope in sight and I’m with euthanasia in cases of hopeless unbearable suffering. society and religion historically treated suicide as something that must be prevented or morally condemned for the same reason they condemn homosexuality. Because it threatens the survival of humanity. But obviously people have homosexual relationships and commit suicide everyday regardless. So don’t worry too much about prohibition of society. Worry more about why are you thinking about suicide at all . Nobody genuinely knows what happens to subjective experience after biological death . You would have to physically die to know . That’s how death works .

yes . plenty of times . I did try to gather some of my family members and play Leo’s videos to them and expose them to advanced ideas . Their response was literally that this man is mentally ill haha 😂. i did indeed talk to my mother, trying to upgrade her primitive conception of what “God” actually is . But again she resisted thoroughly and she didn’t want to listen to me . know who to talk with and what to talk about with whom. And leave underdeveloped people alone . If , for example, your grandma is a stage blue believer in a separate God , then talking her out of this belief might confuse her and do her more harm than good . Let her have peace of mind and serenity.

My older brother is open minded and well-educated. But he is more atheistically minded and a materialist . I can discuss with him topics about the existence of god , religion, the origin of the universe. And such topics . but if I talk to him about new agey things , he tell me these are pseudoscience and myths . my mother is completely stage blue and diehard religious and very closed minded to anything above that level . again , this simply boils down to people's stage of cognitive development. Which depends on age , upbringing, education, etc .

@Vynce good topic but tricky AF. bottom line is there are real physical laws and lines to this world. IMO psychedelics (and dreams and paranormal phenomena ) show you that there is more to reality than physicality . But I don’t know why people can’t utilize them to alter physical reality . Leo have tried a lot to heal his health issues with increased consciousness but he reported failure . I don’t know .

It’s obvious. People are different. Some are intelligent, some are less intelligent. Stages of cognitive development varies widely between people. For example, your grandma (probably) doesn’t need no skepticism and smart-assery and philosophizing about life . She wants simple answers and comfy bedtime stories. And that’s to be expected imo.

It’s shocking to think about how unnatural our modern lifestyles have become. The natural way of living is actually quite simple: wake up with the sunrise and go to sleep with the sunset. Eat healthy food, with fresh vegetables and fruits making up the bulk of your diet. Stay physically active, exercise regularly, meditate, and learn to be present. And literally, THAT’S IT. Everything else is unnecessary at best and harmful at worst, from excessive internet use and junk food to sugar, video games, and destructive habits such as smoking.

I feel a deep sense of regret when I think about the terrible abuse I have put my own body through over the past decade, particularly through smoking, eating unhealthy junk food, and failing to take meaningful action toward building a healthy, balanced lifestyle. When it comes to smoking, I honestly feel that some of the damage may be irreversible. How can I undo the damage caused by a decade of inhaling tar and carbon monoxide? Is the human body even capable of fully recovering from such prolonged exposure? How can I completely rid my system of these toxins? I haven’t done extensive research on the subject, but it seems almost impossible. For now, my main priority is to prevent things from getting any worse. First and foremost, that means abstaining from smoking for good. I know this will be a tremendous challenge because I am both physically and neurologically addicted to nicotine. I also expect setbacks along the way. There may be moments when I give in and smoke, especially when I’m overwhelmed by stress. I’m not planning on relapsing, but I want to be honest and realistic about how difficult this journey might be. I can’t expect myself to overcome a decade-long addiction overnight or simply quit cold turkey and never look back. I wish I could travel back in time, take my current mindset with me, and avoid developing these destructive habits in the first place. But I can’t change the past. All I can do now is focus on the present and protect whatever health I have left. My goal is to stop adding fuel to the fire and give my body the opportunity to recover as much as possible. If I ever come across a scientifically backed recovery protocol or something that could genuinely help reverse some of the damage, I would certainly be willing to give it a try. But for now, I’m focusing on the most important step: quitting smoking, allowing my body to heal, and hopefully experiencing some relief from the soreness in my throat and the burning sensation in my chest.

@Leo Gura btw I know I’ve caused you headaches for repeating this question , so feel free to ignore it .lol obviously the nature of the question is such that only I can answer it. nobody else can answer it for me .

I don’t suffer from this particular condition but I can relate to the description a little bit. I suffer from OCD , perfectionism, overthinking, multitasking and similar symptoms. I suggest meditation, journaling, less thinking about doing the right things and more doing whatever you feel is necessary at this point in time. Ignore your distracting racy thoughts. Pick your routine early in the morning and stick to it.

Ok but this leaves room for two possibilities: - we both are having a simultaneous experience right now , just that I’m you . - it’s literally only my experience right now right here and there’s nothing else . Pure solipsism. in my mind there is a difference between the two.

Beautifully crafted 👍

I agree and I understand this point very well . Here’s my question. You’ve actually used experience in the past as “Absolute Being “. You teach that all experience = my experience, because I’m god , the absolute. Is there an experience other than my present experience? My own answer is I honestly don’t know. And if I’m not mistaken, your answer is NO .

@Wilhelm44 no worries. Apologies accepted and the insult forgotten.

Welp! Winter is here. Vampire season. I always have mixed feelings about winter. There is something dope as fuck about the clouds, the rain, the thunder, the long nights spent drinking coffee and listening to melancholic songs, etc. At the same time, the lack of sunlight, the short days when the sun sets before I’ve even had lunch lol, the cold weather, and all of that put me in a depressive mood. Time to go buy some cozy pajamas and jackets. Let’s go!

I understood the meaning of the sentence. But this is a pointer to what exactly?

Brilliant. I have a question: how are you sure there is nothing beyond experience? I understand that you have to first consider this possibility or experience it for it to be considered. I think of dreams . During dreams we take them for complete final absolute reality, yet we are not aware that there is a larger reality beyond it (the waking state ). consciousness is fundamental either way , and infinite . But there could be infinitely higher and higher frames to this present frame I’m experiencing right now without me being able to access it right now . Are you open to that ? Or you still didn’t change your view that the present frame is all that exists in a solipsistic way ?

The topic of science and religion has always fascinated me. I was actually a very religious person when I was younger. I practiced my religion’s rituals and followed its teachings. And organized religion continues to exist even today, in an age of incredible technological and scientific advancement. Religious people often argue that there is no fundamental conflict between science and religion because they deal with different aspects of life. I disagree with this argument. The fact that they use different methodologies doesn’t mean they address different questions. Both attempt to answer fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and truth. The main difference between science and religion is that science is evidence-based, whereas religion is faith-based. When science tells us that the observable universe is approximately 14 billion years old, it doesn’t simply make that statement and expect us to accept it. It provides evidence to support the claim. The same applies when science tells us that the Earth is round or that humans and modern chimpanzees evolved from a shared common ancestor. Religion, on the other hand, makes claims about reality without providing the same kind of supporting evidence. It tells us that God created the universe in six days, that Jesus died to absolve humanity of its sinful nature, that the Quran is the literal word of God, or that our souls are reincarnated into other living beings after death. These are presented as truths, but there is no independently verifiable evidence to establish that they are actually true. This is precisely why I disagree with the argument that science and religion deal with entirely different questions. Clearly, both make claims about objective reality and attempt to provide answers to fundamental questions about the world and our existence. The difference is that science provides evidence that can be examined, tested, and challenged, whereas religion ultimately relies on faith. And this is why I believe science will continue to advance while religion will gradually lose its influence. I honestly cannot predict how many decades or centuries it might take for religion to become completely extinct, but I believe that, as scientific knowledge continues to expand, the role of religion in human society will inevitably diminish.

I’ve made huge progress lately with my discipline and personal habits. I haven’t smoked for almost two weeks now. I’m not entirely sure of the exact number of days because I don’t count them, but it’s close to two weeks. I still drink coffee, and my sleep schedule is far from regulated, but I’ve made progress with my insomnia as well. I’m now able to fall asleep whenever I feel like I really need to rest, and I usually fall asleep quite quickly. I’m also becoming increasingly convinced that the earlier I go to bed at night, the easier it is for me to fall asleep and the more restful and rejuvenating my sleep becomes. Obviously, I also end up sleeping longer. I’ve also been eating more protein, and I can feel the difference in my energy levels. I want to start jogging again, like in the good old days when I was skinny and muscular. I don’t do any cardio anymore, although I still lift dumbbells, just not as intensely as I used to. For the past few months, I’ve been losing weight because of my insomnia and heavy cigarette consumption, both of which have negatively affected my appetite. Thankfully, both issues have started to improve. I’ve had urges to smoke, but I’ve managed to resist them through sheer willpower. And now I’m reaping what I’ve sown. There’s something else I’ve noticed, though, which I find a little strange. I don’t feel like a young stud anymore. I feel like I get tired more quickly than I used to. This seems somewhat unrelated to my personal habits. I feel like there’s been a noticeable decline in my overall energy levels, and I can’t entirely attribute it to my diet, sleep, exercise, or unhealthy habits. I sometimes wonder whether I’m simply starting to feel the effects of getting older. I’m only 30, though, so it might be a little ridiculous to think that I’m experiencing age-related fatigue already, especially considering that I haven’t exactly lived an exhausting life. Regardless, I know what I want to focus on now: continuing to abstain from smoking, improving my sleep schedule, and getting back into regular exercise.

Note : I used AI just to polish my text , but kept the output as close as possible to the literal wording of input . AI is amazing in helping me articulate my ideas. The moment you genuinely begin investigating your own mind, you discover something : the mind is essentially bottomless. There is no final layer of understanding, no ultimate conceptual framework, and no point at which you can confidently declare that you have exhausted the possibilities of thought. This is something Leo has explored extensively. One of his central capabilities of generating endless insights for 13 years now is that he tapped into his mind and discovered it’s infinite capacity to generate ideas, perspectives, interpretations, and entire models of reality. You can investigate your mind indefinitely, digging deeper and deeper into its creative possibilities, without ever running out of new ideas. You can construct an entire worldview, dismantle it, construct another one, and then discover an entirely different way of looking at existence. Think about it: I could develop an elaborate philosophical position, defend it against you, challenge your counterarguments, and continue this intellectual exchange indefinitely without ever arriving at an absolutely final conclusion. The mind can generate an endless chains of arguments, counterarguments, distinctions, and conceptual models. This is the nature of its seemingly limitless creative potential. Leo explained this technique in his video called “An Adanced Explanation of God-Realization “ . Imagine the Y-axis on a mathematical graph extending infinitely upward. Every additional piece of knowledge, every new concept, every philosophical distinction, and every intellectual model takes you further upward. You can keep adding information indefinitely. Physicists, philosophers, theologians, and religious thinkers have spent centuries investigating different dimensions of existence, yet no collection of theories or explanations has brought humanity to a universally accepted final understanding of reality. But here is where things become even more interesting: try to hold on to a single thought, concept, or conceptual framework and examine it closely for just three seconds. Can you actually preserve it without it changing, dissolving, or being replaced by another thought? Concepts and thoughts are unstable. They are mental constructions, descriptions, and interpretations. The more closely you investigate them, the more you begin to recognize their limitations. What initially appeared to be solid knowledge can dissolve like a mirage. In the end, it is all words, distinctions, and conceptual representations. Now consider the opposite direction on the Y-axis. Instead of moving upward by accumulating knowledge, you move downward by subtracting concepts, assumptions, distinctions, and accumulated beliefs. You progressively empty your mind of its conceptual contents. Eventually, you may arrive at a state in which there is very little left to question or investigate intellectually. This is where people like our fellow James123 enter the picture. From that position, the entire proplem of figuring reality out seem laughable or even incomprehensible. If you have emptied your mind of the very distinctions and conceptual frameworks that make a philosophical problem visible, you might genuinely struggle to understand why anyone considers it a problem in the first place. But there is an important distinction here: having fewer concepts is not the same as having resolved the questions those concepts raise. The fundamental point is that the mind has an extraordinary capacity for both expansion and reduction. You can endlessly generate new conceptual worlds, or you can strip away concepts until there is almost nothing left to investigate. Neither direction should be confused with possessing some final, unquestionable understanding of existence. You are free to utilize your mind’s infinite energy or empty it to zero .

Discovered and explored. actually, by “discovered” , I essentially mean explored . Not his exclusive invention . Any creative person does the same .

Your beliefs and worldview shape how you view your world. There are as many worlds as there are people.
