No, you emulate Michael Jordan while you're playing middle school basketball. Thats how you reach to the top and not stay stuck where you are. When I say top, I don't mean literally, because there's always going to be someone better than you at something; but your suggestion is like saying just stay where you are and don't strive to be above that.

Yes, I just watched it. It was very enlightening and more of us should focus on how to enhance our lives with the things you've said instead of trying to fight systems we don't have any control over. We have the innate ability to make ourselves healthier in more ways than one and to not indulge in the poisons we are so frequently exposed to on a regular basis. We are all suffering due to society's influence not recognizing that we are powerful enough if we use our minds for what it is designed for and not to be a slave to it and the environment that it can so quickly adapt to unconsciously. Thank you for that video and your service to mankind; and keep going at it because society needs more people like you who are just trying to enhance the quality of life the best you know how and is coming from a place where you know first-hand what it's been like to suffer through your own challenges; and now you're being kind enough to pass on how you made it through the challenges you faced. Thank you.

There's no need to kill what is just a construct. You only need to reform it. The ego is needed to experience life. Do you want to walk around like a zombie? You are only interested in "killing the ego because it brings you suffering. Learn to transform the ego and suffering will cease to exist. Understand that you are not the egoic mind and who you truly are is beyond anything that the ego can construct. We are trying to reach somewhere where we already are. How silly is it to be at the car dealership saying you want to go to the car dealership and you want to kill the very transportation that will get you there. All you have to do us deconstruct the mind and start from scratch and rebuild a new home, not try to kill it. Can you kill a thought, can you kill an idea. Yeah, abstractly, but that thought and idea will never die and will be floating in the ether from whence it came, forever. Ego death is just a silly term for people seeking liberation but don't know how.

please watch the video I posted, maybe it will illuminate you.

No, triggered is not the word. The word is PASSIONATE. Passionately in love with life, passionately in love with human's freeing themselves, passionately in love with the sacrilege of the divine wisdom, passionately in love with every friggin' thing I touch and stand for, passionately in love with love itself. I don't need anyone to love what I stand for, I only need to stand for what I love, not fight against anything.

Its not about agreeing with my negative outlook. Actually it doesn't become negative when you are aware of it. I'm just keeping it real and stating what is. I never said two people can't be genuine, I'm saying some are not in it for the right reasons and a piece of paper and a pastor to seal it doesn't make it so. Get with the program buddy and go with where presence resides and identify with that. That is your ticket to salvation and freedom, not a piece of paper and society's constructs. You will always be struggling with your own mind thinking so and so should be this way and so and so should be that way. Make the presence within you your master and not society. Yes, obey all laws and live within the construct, but not be of it. Don't become a slave to your own mind. Free it up from mental slavery and understand that this is all just temporary and who you really are doesn't need morals and is always free. Stop demonizing hookers and understand its just a role they are playing just like God is playing you as a human who demonizes. Its all just a friggin' show, don't take it so serious while still holding on to your own sacred integrity, which means to acknowledge the presence within as your true identity that needs nothing. Pay that some attention and it will guide you into the liberation that you so adamantly seek and won't have to make posts about who is judging you or not.

You have the wrong idea about what I'm pointing to, my friend. I'm not saying 2 people can't love each other, I'm not saying 2 people can't come together and share life under the same roof and respect each other and blah blah, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that SOME are just in it for the dollars and sense and what one can do for them. A marriage contract is only just so the government can get their piece of the pie. Some men will marry just to have a housewife to work for them while they go out and satisfy their sexual fetishes and some women will marry just for what the husband can give them...im saying SOME. Deny this and you're just too young to understand. Just like you told me about how men will use women for sex and their egoic needs why do you think married couples can't use each other for egoic needs. JUST BECAUSE OF A PIECE OF GOVERNMENT PAPER, I don't think so. Morality doesn't just fly out the window because somebody said I DO. Please don't misinterpret my message most people do genuinely love each other when they commit but not all and marriage is an INSTITUTION. Nothing sacred about it only what humans created. Is divorce sacred? Why not.

just so you know, most hookers' clients are married men or if not, have long-term gfs.. Get off your high horse about how marriage IS a sacred bond. Marriage was introduced into society because of the business it generated, So does divorce, so is birth, as in your birth certificate which is a symbol of a contract your parents signed to make you a commodity of the system, so is your social security #, and so is just about everything else that you legally sign. You are just a freed slave working for a system that sees you only as a commodity. You were branded with a friggin' number that they call social security just like a friggin' inmate. Marriage is only a legal contract between two freed slaves. You will deny this, call it conspiracy theory or come up with some brainwashing excuse or reason how this isn't so and defend your slave masters and that is why they are able to do this and get away with it because of people like you who have been brainwashed and conditioned into a society that doesn't have your best interest in mind and just about everybody is on pills, in therapy, or some form of something to try to cope with a life we weren't designed for. Now go take that sacred bond bullshit to the bank and go support the slave masters some more with your ignorance and high-morality complex and don't post another friggin post asking for advice as to why you're so and so and why is this happening to me. It's because we are all traumatized and now have to look to the same system that traumatized us for answers, go figure.

Lmao. The first video's point is hilarious. He came in 20th in his own look-a-like contest. Oh my! You're right, don't care about what people think about you because they don't even know you; they are only going off an idea they have about you.

You're in there for such a short time that I wouldn't be too concerned with that. Phone and electronic use are more of a concern and microwaveable foods. IMO, there are other more serious ways of radiation exposure to be concerned about than a very quick airport security scan.

I'm not speaking about disassociating from anything, but to recognize that challenges are meant to be overcome and doesn't need to be associated with a permanency of state of being as in that is just what I am and I need to just accept it. Life sucks so deal with the negativity and I need to just associate my beingness with this sucky life. I'm not even concerned with disassociating here in these comments because I'm not referring to that. You seem to be complacent with not growing yourself into the best you can be and to just accept the sucky part of life because it exists. Well, I have news for you, it only exists because of duality and duality is not the truth only half truth. Do you want to live in hell or heaven. You can do that by abiding in the Awareness that you are and surrender to your true nature who knows best and can guide you to more peace and tranquility in order for us to live a more fulfilling life without too many of those negativities. Some will be there but they will be quickly transcended and reformed without being disassociated from.

Every forum member from now on in the mental section, dating section and personal development section, or any section, please, if they are having life issues that needs to be attended to and are seeking advice, please pop in all of them and tell them "good, beats being stoic. Nothing wrong with having mental issues and life issues and have feelings of unworthiness and low-self esteem and can't find a job or can't get laid or feeling depressed and suicidal. NO, NOTHING WRONG WITH THESE FEELINGS. KEEP IT UP, Don't be stoic, that's life". See how well that works. I also know of people who are happy, well balanced, enjoying life, their families and friends, travelling and having a grand ole life and they are not stoics. Acceptance doesn't equate to agreeing with and giving up on. It means to recognize that life does have challenges and to not resist and fight them. To recognize them for what they are and address them accordingly without ignoring yourself and becoming nihilistic. One doesn't have to stay depressed or sad or miserable because they are practicing acceptance; acceptance comes in when you realize it's a part of the equation because of polarities, like you said, allow it to be there and find more conscious ways of solving those issues without getting into permanent or long-lasting states of hopelessness. Its not about escapism but to try and not let those energies grab a hold of you for too long in the first place which requires practice, understanding and knowledge of how to transcend those lower vibratory states. Not to just surrender and accept them to be just that and to live miserably because of polarities. THEY EXIST TO SHOW US WHERE WE ARE GOING WRONG, not just to accept. That's why suffering can be a blessing in disguise but it's not a blessing if you're stuck in hell.

Exactly, not to take away from OP's post and concerns, because they are legitimate and have some truth to it. It's just not all of them are like that and it's also a bag of mixed races and ethnicities and environmental issues.

Nothing is ruining anything for me. It's quite the contrary. When you know thyself, life becomes easier not necessarily materialistically, but mentally. I like to go deep and beyond, not just surface issues, and for me it takes to look at both the Absolute and the relative simultaneously. You can enjoy the daily things in life even more when you understand the nature of things and become less delusional. Most people out here are depressed, anxious, angry bitter, envious, jealous, sad, confused just because they don't know the truth of who or what they are. Integration and proper discernment is the key and learning how to separate/combine the two without leaning too much on one way or another. You say to live a little and enjoy daily life but if you look around you, most people are doing these things superficially and are using coping mechanisms just to get through the mundane life so obviously something is wrong there other than to just ignore the nature of who you really are and ignorantly pretending to be something you're not. Everything someone says, especially if that's the way of being they have embodied and are Spiritually inclined, doesn't always mean they are parroting Leo's teachings and all topics have to be whatever you said. Leo didn't invent anything, and his teachings are only delivered to us in his style, presentations and most are very in-depth and relayed to us through his unique personality. Most of his topics aren't new and are things he's done extensive research on, but that does not mean we are only influenced by his teachings and others' and not through our own direct experiences, insights and in-depth contemplations through these direct experiences. Thank you.

By stop judging yourself and others. The Universe reflects back to us our own state of consciousness. You only judge others because you judge yourself. This is the by-product of close-mindedness and thinking your standards is the only way people should live. You will encounter judgemental people who will judge you if you don't stop or reduce the judgements that are within you. Become that which you'd like to attract, because it's energetic even though the opposite can also attract because it seeks balance.

For your information, it's not just blacks who live in the ghettos. There are Whites, Mexicans, Indians, Spanish people in ghettos too. So this post is not about race, it's about behavioral patterns from people in general who live in the ghettos. It all depends on the state and city, some are mostly a particular race, some are mixed and proportioned, and some are more violent and oppressed. Please don't make this about race because there are plenty of non-blacks who live in ghetto areas. I'm using that word because that's the word OP used and doesn't really matter as it still means to live in an impoverished and low-income urban area of a city. There are also plenty of people in these areas who don't act like animals and are trying their best to work jobs to get them out of that life-style or not just that, that are well behaved law-abiding citizens. It's just you predominantly find most of the kids acting out because of whatever reasons and also some of the adults, but i'ts not all.

Lol

We're self-obsessed because there's only one mind. One SELF. That one mind is Absolutely obsessed with itself. It's all there is. Don't you see it. It's so obvious. We can try to explain away all we want, there's only one thing in the Universe. It's obsessed with itself, it's obsessed with imaginary others, it's obsessed with it's creations. Thats why we're addicts. Absolute obsession.

Try the 4-7-8 method. Breathe in for 4secs, hold breath for 7secs, exhale for 8secs. Do it at least 4x. More if needed, twice a day or just right as you're trying to sleep. It really does work. Dr. Weil recommends it. I tried it years ago when I heard about it and i think I only made it to the 3rd one before it was morning.

Whatever

Yes, @NightHawkBuzzplease don't go on too much about these kids though, we understand your point but @abundancehere is making a good point in his whole message.

Hookers don't need to understand that. That's besides the point. Anybody with any sense understands that. I'm not referring to all wives. Some are only in it for the money. Again, we all know that. Not all, but some. The only difference there is a commitment and a piece of paper. My point was not to say can't make a hoe into a housewife, that was irrelevant. It was to say some wives marry for dollars and there's no difference other than what I stated. I've seen too much hypocrisy in this field to even flinch with what people have to say about it. To go even further, there's no difference between a guy who just wants to get laid by any chick for free and someone paying. Take the piece of paper out the picture and what's the difference. At least in the field it's straight up with no manipulation tactics and on the regular (without paying) most guys just brag and boast about how many chicks they can score, at least the fucking hookers are getting paid. So don't be hating on chicks who gets paid for what other girls who aren't in relationships or married do for free without any commitment. Guys always talking bout women but can't see the hoe in themselves. It's all over this goddamn forum. I don't see not one female up in here trying to get laid up just for the sake of laying up. A bunch of hoeing men in here just want to get laid, so you can stay there bout can't make a hoe into a housewife, they don't want to be. Don't need to be, because all some housewives do is stay home cook, clean, and become sex slaves.

The addiction isn't in the sending money to women and more of the feeling that one gets by doing that. Could be an addiction of feeling self-importance, self-worthiness, an addiction to a certain emotion. Those can become addictions too. It's not a matter of the $$ nor the women. If that person felt a sense of completion doing something else, it would be that something too. Take the contents out the equation. They mean nothing, only what you give it. It's the underlying need for the need to feel fulfilled that drives the addiction. All addictions are rooted in the same thing. No need to demonize those men.(not saying you are, just in general). It's a feeling they are looking for that they are unaware of how to generate from within. We all do that. It's the content of our addictions that's different.

Depends on who is coping and what from. A drug addict can recognize, go to therapy and quit, while a shopping addict can go on shopping and becomes a broke ass ex shopping addict till they die. Just an example. Which one was better off.

Dollars and cents. Get locked up, spend a few hrs in jail, go to court, pay the fine, REPEAT. Wives and gfs are having sex for money, indirectly, all the time but noone notices. Not even the husbands. Then they discriminate against hookers when their wives are just glorified hookers in disguise. Let's see when the divorce gets settled who is taking half.
