@Tanz Yeah it's so fucked. You can't really escape it you just need to accept the brutality. @Lila9 When I see the animals and try to imagine how simplistic their perception must be, I can't help but compare their innocence to that of a baby.

@Vasu Jaggi I agree with you but it's really hard to embody that in extreme situations.

@Devin The part is equal to the whole. Reality is a fractal.

@Hojo I am neither judging nor calling bad the killing of chickens for meat. I can very easily do what you're saying and go on with my life because the chickens are not dying in my POV. But when I do go get my chicken, I look at them and I start empathizing. I can't look at the chicken and not feel it's innocence. When the guy slashes the throat of the chicken and drains it's blood in front of me, how can I not feel the pain the chicken must be going through? You gonna tell me to block my empathy? I won't do that that's running away from something I need to accept. All I can do is accept the pain, which is what's so hard for me to do. And even if no chickens are dying outside my POV, what's stopping God from spontaneously imagining the suffering of thousands of chicken in the past the next time I see a chicken die? The reason the relative reality is so consistent is because God always consistently imagines whatever happened in the background whenever you find it out. You have no control over this imagination because your relative self is only a part of it. It's smart for me to anticipate the pain and suffering of the chickens in the imagination(because I'll be buying meat) and try to accept that. You can't tell me that God won't imagine the pain and suffering of millions of chickens when you decide to explore where your meat comes from, because that's exactly what it would imagine happening in the background. I am pretty sure God won't imagine the meat spawning out of thin air inside factories due to satanic rituals done by the elites to save on killing costs. God could very well imagine that but which imagination do you think is more likely? If you decide to simply not explore where your meat comes from so God doesn't imagine them suffering, you are running away aren't you? What you're saying equates to running away from the problem of accepting the brutality. If God IS consistently imagining this kind of brutality then isn't that a pretty big hint of what you need to accept? If you use the "nothing happens outside of my POV" as an excuse then you are running away. To accept the killing of any being you must be able to accept what it's going through as it's happening to you. That's the ultimate brutality, when it happens to you, that one should accept, in this accepting simulator. Because the more loving you become the more your start empathizing. You are not deciding to imagine the chicken's pain as your own, it automatically becomes your own when you see it happen. And the more you become conscious the more your empathy will develop. In the original post it can come off as me guilting myself for the death of the chicken, trust me I am not doing that. It's just that the pain is great.

You should use a more eye-catchy font and color for the text. You could also add a lot more illustrations and text as you talk. You could also add some pictures/videos here and there to give the feeling to the viewer that video had a cut. This helps in retaining attention. I don't use Instagram so I don't know much about how it works but I'd guess that you should post more stage orange development content to first gain an audience. Also this is just a matter of personal preference but I'd set the camera down instead of holding it. As for what you're actually saying in the video. It's all good man. But the way you say it is just like any other Hindi speaking guy. I think you'd set yourself apart if you add a lot more expression, tonality and volume in your voice as you speak. And it might help to talk on some controversial topics for Indians at first, to gain some wider attention.

@Hojo Their head was already cut off because there is demand for them. If I am buying from their shop, it says that hey, there's demand so let's kill more! Obviously it's not just my fault as an individual, but that was never my point. The way I'll 'accept' that chicken get their heads cut off is by not empathizing with them, and making it some fact in my head that "chickens get their heads cut off". I mean that's how most go about it. But can you really call that the most conscious way of going about it? Let me be clear I am not guilting myself because I like to eat chicken. If you just apply the "it's all a dream and there's only the here and now" understanding it's so devoid of love. You can apply that and easily justify killing another person for let's say their money. I mean it's all a dream and that person is only a figment of my imagination, I need some money, another figment of my imagination, so why don't I just go kill him if I can get away with it? You're just ignoring the substance of existence at that point which is love. To love would mean that yeah it's all an imagination, but so is 'their free will', that you will imagine within your own, because you give them enough sovereignty(out of love) to have their own authority like you do. And once you let them have that out of love, you empathize with them and actually not kill them for money because you would honor their wishes of wanting to live, and keep their money. Just do the same with a chicken. And this is what God does with 'You'. The point of my whole post isn't to argue whether killing animals for meat is good or bad. My point is how a highly conscious person would go about it, if at all. My thinking is that they'd be too loving to do it, because killing the animal would be like killing yourself. And unless you can accept and transcend that kind of pain and suffering, you wouldn't be able to kill, without limiting your love and empathy.

I am not overthinking it because my goal isn't to become vegan. I simply just posted a line of thought regarding the title.

Dude that's indeed genius. I have never seen a body of text better at making one aware of one's spiritual-ego which tries to fix others. To all those out there who want to help others who are not open to advice, this is how you do it. You provide them with a safe space and the freedom to fail, and see how they build themselves to a level where they now start looking for advice.

Can you link me your profile? I want to see what you're making, maybe I can come up with something then. Otherwise all I can say is just keep making them and you'll just get faster. Maybe find better tools to make the videos. If the majority of the 30-40 mins are spent thinking then I am sure you'll get faster at contemplating

I want to have this experience as well. Can you tell me how or link me to sources? I don't understand where to look up IFS on doing it myself. It looks like it will take a while to figure out so I'd appreciate your guidance.

Either you have transcended these needs or you do not accept the part of you that is like this and wants these things. Judging by you making this post, I'd bet that it is the latter. If you think that you are not like the evil you can't accept then think again. If you can't accept the evil outwards there is evil inwards you denounce. I'd guess it has more to do with you than the concept of evil. But let's talk about accepting evil for a second. Sure evil doesn't exist but telling yourself that is not accepting it. If you're gonna tell yourself that evil doesn't exist so you can accept other evil people then you're lying to yourself. To accept evil you need to agree that it exists, and be honest about your feelings towards evil, and love it regardless. What it truly means to love evil is to devote your time to understanding it and actually being evil. That's what accepting evil really means. Then only, after accepting it this radically, is it valid to go for realizing that it doesn't exist at all, because ultimately every being wants dissolution. If you skip that part then can you really say you have accepted evil?

It takes balls to reach such a conclusion. I can only imagine what kind of suffering you must be in. You have a very unique perspective.

maybe use chatgpt? It can use hinglish or hindi to write you a script which you can change to your liking

Leo was probably taking a bath in the tub when he thought that, and that's probably what he imagines when he says that

I said when making this thread that I'd post in it everyday but I realized that is too much for me at this stage. I'll post once a week(minimum). The no fap challenge I failed but here's something I learned. At the stage I am currently at, I am happier fapping every 5-7 days or so. Because past that I feel my urge to go after girls becomes crazy. It's not a bad thing but I really want to devote most of my time to my studies. I have a lot to study and my exams are coming up in June. I am doing two undergraduate courses at once. So I am going to stop trying to no-fap and just do it once every 5-7 days. Any more than that is too much imo. The No Junk Food challenge went extremely well. Didn't eat any junk. But I did eat fast food here and there. I have decided to cut that out as well. Meaning I eat everything homemade, with exception to food orders here and there, which I'll minimize. I ate proper homecooked healthy meals today. What I am starting to learn now is how to housekeep sustainably which is good for my body and mind. Earlier I was so confused as to how adults can keep all clothes clean and tucked away at all times, dishes washed, the home clean, and eat only home cooked food. It's all about your mindset. See as you grow new things unlock for you that you couldn't do before because your mind has evolved. I couldn't gain value out of a to-do list before because I was too lazy. Now making one every night for the next day is doing wonders for me. I have been tracking my finances for a few months and I realized that the amount of money I spend every month on junk food, fast food, takeaways can easily be redirected to buying more healthy ingredients and groceries to cook at home. See I was locked in a loop. The reason I was buying all this junk was because I had nothing to eat at home, but the reason I had nothing to eat at home was because I spent my money on all the unhealthy food. I have decided devote more of my time to cooking, and prep last night so I can cook really quick the next day. Cutting out most of the seasonal anime I was watching has been such a good decision for me. I used to mostly watch Isekai anime. That kept me in a lazy mindset. It really is just a dopamine hit. The storyline wasn't good, I was just consuming mediocrity for the sake of distracting myself. Most of these seasonal anime I was watching had stopped growing me long ago. They were just a source of distraction and cutting them out has been a really good decision for my psyche. For context I was watching like 7-10 series this season. My mind has a lot less information intake right now and I have been able to adjust to the amount of variety I want in my content diet. I have started exercising for strength now. There is some equipment at a nearby park that I can use for free to do upper body training. I am not going to the Gym because I can't afford a membership. But I won't let that stop me. I am training my core now as well. I stopped running because honestly I have no idea how much I should run or if at all. I am happy with my current stamina level. I have no training plan because I tried to make something or find one for me but it's too complicated for me at this stage. As I stated above, some things unlock later in life. So I'll just do the exercises that just seem right to me and use the equipment at the park. It's not all perfect though. My time management could be better. I am still learning a lot. Very happy with my growth so far compared to the start of this month.

I produced a lucid dream and imagined many things in it by making choices on what I wanted to do. When I compared that less limited form of imagination with my waking imagination, I realized one crucial thing. The more limited your imagination the more you have to imagine the details and the less automatic your imagination is. In the dream, I didn't have to iron out my intentions and definitions of what I wanted to happen. Example: If I wanted to see a woman with the perfect body, she would just pop out of thin air and exactly reflect my intentions. In contrast, I can't do that in my waking imagination, I have to think more specifically about how I prefer what parts of her body to look like. Example 2: In the dream I was a king, advancing through a certain story, I didn't need to specifically envision how I wanted to advance the story, I could just intend for the story to progress and some new development will happen that I didn't think of. Example 3: If I wanted to go back in time in the dream to redo something or reset something, I didn't have to imagine what exact point I should go to, I just intended to and I was automatically taken to the best possible time. Observations: 1: The freer your imagination is the more automatic it is. I.e lesser in control of the ego. 2: The freer your imagination the more detail/depth it can produce to what it imagines. 3: Imagination always fills in the best outcome/detail for the ego if the intention is vague. Implications: 1: Since God's Imagination is infinite, it cannot be in control of the ego at all. Ego itself must be God's imagination. It's completely automatic. Which also would mean infinitely intelligent. 2: We may not be able to understand how we as God are imagining that detailed ant and it's movement, that's because all that is automatic, which you as an ego don't control. 3: The fact that ego has some control over waking reality through physical action suggests that waking reality isn't just God's imagination but some sub-imagination within, that we control through intention to some degree. 4: Since imagination automatically fills in the vague details with the best possible outcome, reality is perfect at the highest level. But if we consider waking reality as part of some sub-imagination that ego can kind of control through intentions, it by itself is not perfect because the outcomes in this are influenced by the ego's intention. 5: Logic is the very opposite of imagination. 6: Waking Reality is so detailed and complex because the imagination that imagines waking reality(not the imagination that you control in your head) is very automatic and therefore reflects in not in being control of the ego What do you guys think?

I used to say I am agnostic but I realized that's not very authentic + people try to convert you if you tell them that. Now I stay authentic and just tell them I see that God is everything right here right now. And when it comes to believing in whether there is some being above the clouds or deities out there behind the scenes, I just tell them the truth, I don't know. This leads to interesting conversations.

You're mixing up God and the world. God is literally everything, if you are experiencing less details in your visuals field those details that you think should be there literally don't exist anymore and they exist only in your imagination. You are not experiencing less of God, you are still experiencing everything there is. If we think of 'world' then yeah you are experiencing less of the world because of blindness and such. And other beings can have varying ways to perceive this world, some more detailed than others. But fundamentally speaking, they are still experiencing 'everything'. And everything can't be less or more because there is nothing else to compare it with. If you, with blurry vision, compare your 'everything'(God) with someone else's 'everything'(God) you make a fundamental mistake because your imagination of their 'everything' is part of your 'everything'. You can't compare your 'God'/experience. The notion that there is an external world and other people who experience this external world in more detailed ways than me is relativistic notion that doesn't apply to God because God contains that notion and is beyond it. So for example. When you think of another person with better senses perceiving more information per second, you are comparing their 'everything' with yours and concluding they are experiencing more of God. But it's 'everything' so no comparison should be possible. This contradiction happens because you are not comparing 'experience of God' but 'experience of the world'. 'God' is beyond this whole example because the comparison and their POV exists within your imagination.

Well if you really seek to witness these powers one day you'd find someone or have an experience yourself. Sure it's a 'waste of time' to try to acquire these powers but it's as much a waste of time as is browsing this forum, watching a video, learning about some topic or trying to succeed in life. So if you do wish to have these powers there's no shame in going for it. Because ultimately that's the only way you'll really be able to answer this question of yours. I am sure you wouldn't be satisfied by just reading replies to this post.

@Osaid I agree with everything you have said. What do you think about the significance of implication #3 and how it relates to manifestation? Could there be another 'invisible genie' in the waking world?

Do you write the spam emails I get? Nah but srsly thanks for the message

If you are gonna judge them then you are dumb as well, just a little less.

oh I see you were balancing the OP's perspective as well

If you are willing to see so much nuance in Leo's words then you should attribute nuance to the OP's words too. It's clear that most of us here watch Leo's videos and attribute nuance to his words. But if he uses a particular kind of style of using words then that creates a certain vibe. I don't think the OP is blind to the nuance in Leo's word, but he said what he said to counter-act that anti-human vibe Leo has created. While Leo himself may not be subject to it, I am pretty sure many people will fall into the trap of "everyone else is stupid" due to this anti-human vibe Leo creates. And by the looks of it OP fell into it too and just realized his way out of the trap and therefore is sharing that. If you feel like "But OP is clearly less nuanced than Leo therefore I should attribute less nuance to him" then you are doing exactly the kind of anti-human shit the OP is warning about. Also tbh Anti-Human is a bad term to use here @BlessedLion should've used something like 'a lack of love towards other human beings'. Because the term Anti-Human opens the convo to the 'Alien' aspect of life and I doubt OP is talking about that duality here.

@Danioover9000 You shouldn't rely completely on one company for your digital needs in the first place. I keep my files locally in hard drives or flash drives in addition to cloud storage options. I don't have a lot to store but if I ever needed to store massive amount of data I'd get a NAS device. I even want to get my own email server going after a few years because I don't want to rely on any google, Microsoft or other services.
