What is humor in the metaphysical sense? I feel that this is a major component that is missing.

I appreciate this stuff that's why i am here. I'm not going to deny that my current state is pretty much egoic. You mentioned in the past that if someone hasn't taken care of survival then this is the only thing they should be doing. Should i half ass do spiritual work? I only had an awakening because at the time i was dead serious about it. I feel that if i am not all in at this i'll just waste my time. I have no access to psychedelics but i want to trip when i have the chance. What will help me to reach a point where i REALLY want to understand everything? I do but not with a burning desire to go all in and find out. I am stuck with ego desires that have to do with survival. At least i can observe them, or discover some of my self deception through your videos and also able to admit sometimes that i am wrong. That means that i'm ego stuck but only loosely. Still i feel i am at this lower stage. So where do i start and where do i focus on? Which path leads me to realize god? I know that there are hundreds of hours of videos explaining everything. I would really appreciate a simple roadmap/explanation for a 5 year old. I can figure out the details by myself. Is it spiral dynamics? Is it reading hundreds of books or doing many psychedelics? There is a ton of amazing insights that you provided us but i honestly don't know how to proceed. Should i just do randomly different practices and a bit of everything or focus in one area at a time like escaping wave slavery or only health or whatever?

I'm really sorry for your loss. Rest in peace.

You like watching the rainbows don't you. Not my cup of tea.

Haha do people take him seriously? Trash tv.

Damn.. The title alone convinced me to buy the books and started reading. Some Rick Ross wisdom nice Thanks for sharing.

Nice!

You can watch porn and eat ice cream and play video games and smoke joints. Isn't this a relief? If you don't let those behaviors control your life it's ok. I think that now i understand why Leo made this blog post or why he says for example that his dick is in your mind right now and so on.. It's specifically for people that get offended so easily or expect him to be perfect. Just listen to the teachings and think for yourself. It has nothing to do with him or you. It's about the thing that is being teached.

@Benapplegate i completely agree. Maybe you underestimate how unbearable a situation must be for someone to awaken with self inquiry. You refuse to accept that this is possible for normal people and i refuse to accept that being a genetic freak is the only possible explanation. No it's not. It's about surrendering. You might half pursue enlightenment for 10 years or 20 and never get it. If your ass is on fire there is no half wanting anything. It's life or death and you are choosing life by letting go.

Nothing wrong with becoming a monster as long as you can see past the ego doing this but then again without it you would probably lack the motivation to become a monster. You could create your avatar how you like it why not? As long as you understand how stupid you are when you flex your muscles to someone. It's not only about being big though. It's also about the health and the discipline you build by working out hard and how good it feels.

We are not even ready for social media. Most of us behave like animals. I do worry about the rapid growth of technology while we remain apes.

Of course there are benefits. Not an expert so i can't exactly list them. You please your ego out of vanity only if you are in front of the mirror all the time and take selfies and post them online like a monkey believing that you are the muscles and that your body will not grow old ugly and weak and eventually die. Still nothing wrong with it after you realize that you are not your muscles or tits or whatever and that forming a sense of self from these things that come and go is an unstable foundation.

My opinion is yes

The wisdom of the peaceful warrior Dan Millman. That book introduced me to self actualization when i was 14 and it was like my bible for 2 years. A new earth Eckhart Tolle. There was an awakening just from this book. Radical honesty. I healed a lot of stuff because of this book. Countless others but these 3 were absolutely life changing.

@Rilles yeah i also started doing it lately.. Usually because a book is too big and a bit boring but still good quality. For example the first book from the booklist about money and the way of the superior man and the 31 days practice of the metahuman book. I'm just saying it because i also struggle with it sometimes.

@Rilles yeah if you realize that a book is garbage just stop reading it i don't disagree. I am just saying that if you start reading a book that you know is good don't drop it half way. You have to finish what you start. I was also a bookworm since i was 12 and probably read 200 books until 18. There is no need to show that your answer is more valid because you read so many books. I agree that sometimes you are just not ready to fully appreciate a book. Example the way of the superior man. When i read it at 15 it was meh but now that i started reading it again is mind blowing.

Finish your books first. When you half read books you probably waste time.

@Someone here i'm not talking about hedonism but to be afraid of being hedonistic is also a trap. Usually there is a middle way. Whatever someone happens to realize there is still this life here that needs to be lived. Nihilism is also a big trap.

I don't think there anyone who has a soft ego. I also don't believe that an ego needs crushing. I also believe there is a third part. To just be able to live life regardless of the depth of your enlightenment as a normal person.

@Someone here yes but meaninglessness is also meaningless. I don't blame you though. It took me many years of suffering to just return to "normal". I think the only problem is that we take things too seriously. I'm just going to enjoy life i don't care about serious insights. Why even play a game if you can't have fun?

? Snu snu

This is nihilism and when i was nihilistic it wasn't fun at all. All those thoughts are traps. Just transcend those thoughts and enjoy life. Failing to take this step put me 10 steps back. You can be stuck there for a long time or not.
