@Franz_ As i've said i went past that realization. How to do it? Even just seriously concetrating on your breath (the sensations that you experience coused by the attrition of air with your body, expecially at the nostrils) can give you deep insights. Start with 10 min., build up to 1h. Once you gain enough concentration, you'll start to experiences vibrations, shackings, lights, change of temperature, maybe have visions, genuine insights even. I recommend the book The Mind Illuminated. Once you lay down the breath you can start to do more complex exercises. mayby experiment with psychedelics too. It is very important to to work on your survival (Shelter, Health, Work, Realtionships etc.) while you explore Spirituality. Expand your knowledge of an intellectual level too. Explore and read about every school of thought and their practices. Watch Leo's videos. he has made a video for almost every topic related to Spirituality and personal developement.

@Franz_ i was 20 or something, laying on bed. At a certain point, and it was like the limits of my body ceased to be real. They where still there, untouched, I was still there, on the bed, but i suddenly felt like a silent infinite void, i was hollow, yet still full of all the things that made up my identity. It was as if a charachter in a videogame realized it was made of colored dots and appearing on a screen. Experience felt like the symmetric crumbling of a perfect mandala made of a billions of grains. Everything fell but flowed the same at the same time. Objects felt like holograms. Then i knew that this experience is infinite and eternal, no metter who's in charge. My conception of reality changed that day. It evolved much since then, but at the time it was a very cool, yet quiet realization for me.

Well, that's a big L for Netanuahu and his gov. And a big L for Hamas too, since i'm reading that they are accepting a disarmament. Really hard to predict if they're both gonna be sticking to the peace plan.

New I See Stars album is good. It's not New Demons...but it's good.

@Leo Gura shit, i skipped the first line of the OP, and i'm new to Him. Won't happen again. @theoneandnone Cultivating a healhy, normal life is essential for approaching spirituality. Your psychological well being needs to be as on point as possible, then you will realise that many fo the "existential fixations" you had will have disappared on their own. Many of our "spiritual problems" are actually a cover for day-to-day life problems.

Guys, unironically, can someone prease help me understand how did we get from "Hamas needs to be erased" to "positive climate around USA-Israel-hamas negotiaitions"?

@theoneandnone Dude, just develop a good meditation practice and if you can, make time for a retreat. For now, take 2 hours of your time and, dedicate the first hour to following the breath. the second to some technique like Noting or Scanning od Do Nothing. I garantee you are going to experience incredible things if you stick to it for even just a few days. You can certainly experience feeling like dying or being dead already during meditation, but the point is: You shoud not force it. These experiences are a byproduct of good practice, and should not be the goal.

@HojoWhatever you are experiencing right now is objective reality. There isn't anything under the rug unless you lift it. And whatever you find under it's not gonna be anymore real then the rug itself. You are a metaphysical entity as mush as you are a body.

lil dump

@enchanted potentially, yes, but practically, infinity manifested has its laws, especially, Karma. The aswer to the "what happens when we die" should always be always be "it depends". And it mainly depends the framework used and/or on your level of spiritual developents. If all one think about in life is sex and donuts that particula individuality will just vanish from existence. In every one there is a divine spark that, figuratively, just goes bakc to the Creator, if not diveloped. What spiritual practice usally does to a human is halping to coagulate that divine part in us, what is usally called Soul, that eventually remains after the death of the physical body, reincarnating in a new one. On Earth? In another Galaxy? Again, it depends on where are You on your Journey. Eather way, You are going to reincarnate, unless you are a master and you can decide to dessolve into God or come back. Only spiritually ignorant poeple don't reincarnate. But You have to keep in mind that things like "Soul", "God", "Death" are just concept, and therefore arbitry categorization of reality that are not inherent to existence. Buddists reject the existence of a Soul or a God and their doctrine works just fine, and is right in its own way. Or, imagine being Pure Infinity itself: You wouldn't even know a concept like reincarnation exist. Authentic past lifes memories are a sign of good work, but they are rare, and not necessary. Wait. God Consciousness is usually realized during life for the reasons a stated above. Poeple who have deep religious faith usally don't develop enouth to go to an actual Heaven Beliving alone won't get you to whatever heaven you think about, because you are just going to be encored to Earth with standard Christian beliefs. These poeple are gonna come back as deeply religious poeple until they open up to mysticism.

Great mind and body of work, but He just leaves you wishing because you can clearly see that he was still anchored to a materialistic frame ("what?! Jung?" Yes). Nontheless, his model is very insightful: Concepts like the Persona, the Shadow, the Anima, The Archetipes, The personal/collective Uncouscious are very useful in personal developement as well as in spiritual work.

I don't know if this was posted before, but nevertheless: Intresting interpretation of Putin's motives, touching Hegelian Filosophy, consumerism, war economy and more. This guy is blowing up recently due to his analysis of the Iran - USA/Israel conflict.

@saif2 Being more developed doesn't mean you are completely exempted from doing nasty shit. The West is less currupted then Russia or Iran, but still currupted. Good indicators of developement are: Social and civil rights of Citizens, Freedom of the Press, Level of Corruption, Form of Governement (democracy/dictatorship/monarchy etc.). If you compere, let's say, Norway with Saudi Arabia, by looking at this statistics you can clearly see which country is more developed in the therms of SD.

@Santiago Ram - just wrong, he has never been this black and white. He has often stressed the importance of balance. - it's more complex than this, but you are probably not willing to get it. An if You truly were Awakened You'd know that there is only one experience process and inevitably every Diety you encounter is part of the same process. No object can stand outside of it, otherwhise it would be unknown to You. - not true, he has remarked many times how religious thext contain valuable information. The problem with them is that they are sometimes difficult to decode as they are aften written through metaphors or covered in esoteric language. Add the cultural differences and the damage is done. - Enlightenment is a multifaceted word. What you mean by it is probably not what Leo means. So your "evidence" is basically a castle in the air. Bye.
