Good vs evil : Paradoxically the idea that evil exists is what generates evil. I was watching an anime, called black clover, and i was telling myself that the hero in this anime never sit down and introspect about his beliefs on good and evil. The hero thinks that evil must be defeated at all cost thus becoming evil in the end. This lack of empathy towards others calling them evil is what makes you not understand their perspective thus having a black and white morality when in fact moral boundaries are complex. I don’t care even serial killers have a difference in their brains which causes them to not have empathy thus becoming serial killers. The goal is not to defeat evil, but to integrate it as good in your worldview through understanding and compassion.

@Leo Gura something i noticed is that the more you do consciousness work. the more you start tapping into a new reality, a different one than most people experience. it's like you're accessing a new dimension.

@Leo Gura intellectual rigor is studying a lot of stuff. however spiritual experience and contemplative insights, how are they different ? i mean i do understand that spiritual experience than just an insight. but isn't it different degrees of the same thing?

@Leo Gura isn't intellectual rigor just having contemplative insights, which is the same as spiritual experience ?

@Leo Gura i think a lot of new age spirituality is based on belief not direct experience and insight.

@Leo Gura leo can you make a new post where you explain your health issues ?

@Rafael Thundercat contemplate everything

@ZenSwift do pick up there

@Leo Gura the thing is balance is always important. both extremes are dysfunctional : being a nerd that doesn't understand women and how to attract them is not wanted, and also being a rapist is not wanted either. the ideal is a guy that can approach, make his intentions clear, attract the girl, physically escalates, and know how to sexualize the interaction... and at the end sleep with the girl. all of this take boldness and confidence. which society doesn't really promote or teach. however it is also important to know when to back off when the girl is not interested. seduction is complex. and a lot of approaching will teach you a lot of things about seduction.

@Leo Gura what do you think ?

God is infinite life experience. Because God is ultimate wisdom . And wisdom comes from experience, hence for God to be wise he has to experience everything infinitely. That's why genocide, war, rape, murder exist. Because for God to be wise he has to have infinite experience, he has to experience everything that is possible. And for God nothing is impossible, hence we get the juicy paradox when talking about the transcendental, which is that God infinite experience hence infinite wisdom. All experience that exists is God's experience. Your life is God experiencing specific dimensions and of life and existence. That why you were created, for God to gain wisdom. You are God.

similar to his video on deconstructing science, a lot of people are stuck with christianity, since it being the largest religion in the world, would be great to help those people liberate their minds with a series of videos or a single video deconstructing christianity.

@Leo Gura i am curious how does your chronic health issues contribute to your growth?

@Kairos spirituality has its benefits if you care about wisdom and truth. but it is not a cure all solution for everything. which is why leo stresses the importance of mastering survival: life purpose and career, dating and sexuality, having a good diet and exercising...check out the life purpose course, the how to shop for healthy food video, and the how to get laid series... also enlightenment doesn't replace education, if you care about understanding specific things like history, or geopolitics or medicine. you have to study them on their own. enlightenment is beneficial in that it removes the barriers of your mind and makes it flourish beyond any egoic identification. but there's definitely more to life than just enlightenment.

@fabger it is the same thing basically lol
