Someone here

Nisargadatta was a smoker .Alan Watts smoked and drank Alcohol. I don't think they did that because of the logic "well it doesn't matter from the absolute perspective ". They did that because they were addicted vulnerable humans like the rest of us . You can be awake but still an addict . Props to you that you stopped using psychedelics for a while now (if I'm not mistaken).

I don't think it means what Leo said because whoever made this meme probably has no deep understanding of such things . I can attest that Cigarettes and Coffee in the morning increases alertness and "consciousness " in the conventional sense .and the guy who made the meme means all these new age things that people do like Psychedelics and kundalini do not even come close to smoking and drinking coffee (just a meme obviously so it's not true ).

Your physical and mental health will go to shit though . (I understand that God will still don't care )

Of course as you said it doesn't make any sense at all to call God or existence good from the human perspective which is honestly obvious because animals in the jungle eat each other's alive every minute in sadistic ways and wars and genocide has existed for all of human history till today plus your own personal suffering in life whether physical or emotional etc. What Leo is talking about though is absolute goodness or Good with Capital G..which means anything and everything is perfect and inevitable If you look at it without prejudices or self-bias or selfishness or egoic projections .

Money ..health..and peace of mind .if you don't overthink it. Also nothing wrong to pursue satisfactory enough and good enough answers to your existential questions which are troubling you in bedtime.

Nice but none of that Is actually true on the absolute level. So you have to first be clear if we are discussing the absolute nature of existence or some relative game of endless carving up of distinctions because I'm not interested in the latter . I don't remember saying anything about silent mind .I just said when you ask what is reality you are looking to get past this surface appearance of qualia to some rock bottom absolute nature of things ..and what I'm suggesting is that these two are identical . Appearance/qualia is Rock bottom.

@Ishanga yeah it happens. People don't know when I'm being serious and when I'm being a troll. Right now I'm definitely being serious..so my arguments against free will are false because Leo called me a pervert? And talking about" making sense "when using such childish logical fallacy ? Regarding Leo..he is not your stereotypical spiritual guru who's all stiff and anal about everything..he treats you as your bro . You take it too hard that's your own problem.

@Ishanga you do realize you're the one making this shit up dude. You're imagining the hustle .we are just chatting .what he is saying doesn't make any sense because you guys wanna philosophize and get entertainment not get to what's actually true . I roasted you multiple times about the absolute absurdity of compatible free will and you just run away and run your "Karma" stuff you heard your Sadhguru dude saying on repeat .

The problem with such questions is what exactly are you expecting the answer to be? Reality is right here right now right this nanosecond. What is it you are asking ! Look at it .this is what it is. Sorry. To disappoint but it doesn't get any better.

@Breakingthewall No such thing . Hear me out ..you think a rock is an object that exists out there and it doesn't see or hear or feel and you call that non living matter ..and on the other hand you think of yourself as a human body that is more evolved and complex than rocks and plants and animals and you have consciousness like a light bulb inside your skull..this is not what's going on .this is total made up thought story .actually the entire field of experience is just what it is. Stop conceptualising it into subjects and objects and dumb matter and alive sentient matter .

@Zenterus

Why do you masturbate once a week dude ? Go talk to real girls. Grow up.

Trying to keep yourself "sane" if you are doing this work correctly is doomed to fail because "sanity" is a distinction or a limitation that you are trying to maintain or trying to box reality or freeze it in but of course reality is groundless and unlimited..In other words insane. Not- sane. And this isn't bad or Good because again one or the other is a distinction and reality includes both yin-yang. So yeah in a sense reality is insane and you are insane but at the same time there is really nothing scary about this .it would be scary if you chose to look at it via a negative lense ..but you can also choose to cool out and stop taking yourself and others too seriously. And this is a good thing to do .

You still recovering from phillophilia? 😂

Why ?

I love being naked .clothes are social conditioning. We can be polite and not just jump on each other's asses still ..I don't see most animals suffer from that

Not interested.

@Joseph Maynor polygamous.

@Natasha Tori Maru

@Ramasta9 quit badmouthing Nahm .you are nowhere close to him .his writing is more accurate than a knife .I've never seen such accuracy in contemplating direct experience exactly "as is" than what he does.

And how many to Salsa ?

What should this mean in God's world ? You still need to be schooled on basic radical neo advaita stuff ? You think "the only thing that is this is that because that must be thus or never and only this "..its all gibberish nonsense. Get the cosmic joke already.

@Princess Arabia you're talking to Judy or to me ? Or we both don't exist and you're talking to yourself?

@Joseph Maynor dance ? All I'm reading is "I'm right and the entire world is deluded". James is actually conscious of some well earned Truth ..otherwise I don't see why would he have such consistent message revolving around the same basic points. It's like he's saying "guys it's so simple ...NOTHING". And you guys "no it must be infinitely complicated than that .if proplems don't exist then let's invent imaginary proplems ".

You guys feel good and intelligent and "nuanced " when you gang up on him ? I agree that this is always the same pointless discussion over and over again between radical neo advaita and "well we are still some human chimps on earth though" .. If you are actually aware of this then stop correcting him ..or do his words shatter your reality ? He is talking from nondual consciousness and you guys are talking from dual common sense consciousness of separation or maya or matrix. It is never going to fit together..so you are NOT being so "Einsteinical" about it when you point out loopholes in his message ..because he is speaking nonduality. There is In fact no you And no me and no "things " or anything you "think " that exists . But still for the pragmatics of keeping your dream inside this world you gotta "get real " and say "yeah but I'm just a human chimp and this stuff is just philosophy and mental masturbation ". But it isn't.
