WORD. This is so true. That's also very cool hearing it from a woman.

What is not a construct... Look around you. Look. Sense. Feel. Appearance and sensation aren't constructs. Tall/short, hot/cold, loud/soft - constructs. A change in any of those appearances is a construct in itself. Direct experience = direct. Not a construct. Change = thought/construct.

@royce No. I will not speak up as in engaging with the hate and perpetuate ignorance like you wish to engage in. Ain't cool my guy, just doesn't feel good (like stomach wrenching from taking a shit). What I mean by hate is the feeling of intense or passionate dislike. Mentioned Leo to take a look and rethink if this thread (not topic) is even worth it. Have you become the chairman of authority to dictate what is right and what is wrong? Because you've subscribed deeply into some flashy beliefs about Israel, right/wrong, Freedom and Palestine.... Could you possibly be aware, just if you allow yourself to inspect, how this all leads to ABSOLUTELY NOTHINGS aside from a strong sense of injustice on your behalf - basically the emotions of revenge or anger? Refusing to acknowledge this just continues this loop cycle

Yeah let's keeping spreading the hate! Great job getting everybody engaged in the illusion and wrapped with biases @Leo Gura! Is this what you imagine heaven to be? Is this the good life? Is this called "Realizing God"?

@Leo Gura Yeah, relationships are about survival, but survival is also that brain of yours that is thinking and writing all of this stuff. Isn't it the perfect combination - Survival & Consciousness? Survival and consciousness... What comes first? Feels like the chicken and the egg... I might be really dumb

It's been a while... I have been contemplating a lot of stuff, and right here I'm gonna share some text (just sentences) that point to some stuff I've been thinking about. For each one it might hit different, and if you care to share your thoughts or even guidance, it would be appreciated. So here's the short convo I've been having with chatgpt: https://chatgpt.com/share/e288d5a1-f456-4b4b-bf62-2f80ea6d0609 Came back at me with some good stuff as you see (at least for "me")🙂

So I'm quite a socially anxious guy, and have had it for most of my life. Lately I've been working on it and trying to be more social, but I don't know why, every time I'm in this office room only with this one girl (or plus a friend of hers) it's always super awkward for me and I just want to disappear in this moment. Perhaps because of my anxiousness she tries deliberately to trigger me, but not in a bullying way, just teasing me as if I'm a child (like staring at me until I notice, try blocking my way, say 'shut up' or other mean things but in a playful way I guess). The humiliation is so disturbing that I become even more uneasy (more cold, unemotional, hiding) and I don't know what's the next thing I'll say and how I'll get myself out of the situation. It feels like a fight-or-flight for real. Today there was a moment that she showed me her hair clip, and I was so awkward, and she eventually put it on and I was like 'it isn't really seen though' (it was) and then she asked "it's beautiful, right?" and I was so anxious and I said in such a pussy tone "It is cool". I beat myself so bad for that. But I also still had to survive the rest of the day their. She chuckled and left. I had a feeling she would tell her friends about that. I don't think this is some kind of way of showing attraction, because I don't have status and confidence. Just a relatively good body, which I know doesn't mean shit to a woman. I'm not trying to hit on her. I'm just awkward and trying to play a role. Damn. I'd really love to hear your thoughts about this.

Yes. If you really watch his videos, beginning from the intro videos (at the Start Here page) and diving deep into the foundations you'll get so much useful theory. Theory isn't bad. You need a lot of theory to direct your actions. I think what you're saying is the problem of excusing yourself of action for intellectual theory, and falling into the trap of believing you're progressing. For that purpose I watch his foundational videos actively - not super fast pace, taking notes, reviewing them, and test them in my direct experience and connect the dots. There's still a lot to learn and grow. But you gotta start somewhere. But the main question I have is - why do you think that you need to debate? What's the drive? Are you here to try and prove other people wrong and show how they aren't doing the real shit, or are you here to have cool conversations with people, asking questions, sharing about yourself and maybe inspire people? I am not that well aware of the dramas happening here, but here and there I see your posts and you seem to have some great understandings that you share. After all, no one here really knows how the users behave irl outside this forum. But why the hell would you want to fight them??? LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣

@mmKay What do you mean? How would you know what the video is gonna be? Are you working with Leo or something?

Ok, so I've actually been thinking for a while already to post about this topic. Do you know who the Kung Fu fam are? Apparently they are a family in London known for doing Kung Fu while integrating Dragon ball themes (they dress and behave like they're in that anime). They are literally acting as like their in a movie (an anime, for those who understand) and they seem to be living such a cool life. The father is like this Kung Fu master and his wife also does Kung Fu and they have this son which the father raises like a master and a student dynamic with lots of love. Here's a recent video the son uploaded, to get you a taste of what I'm talking about: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C607o1LolH4/?igsh=MTVqMWFpMGMwbnZmMQ== You can also view the Instagram of MJ, the modern Shaolin warrior @iammatjane. Ok, so basically where I was going with all this is that I get this bittersweet feeling every time I watch their family dynamic, like some kind of envy. They are so fricking cool, but I wish I could've also experienced this upringing, like wth?? This is what I'd define as an "in the movies" upbringing. Like I wish I had a dad like this. This dad has some virtue, focuses on growing, young in spirit, mentally strong, such a great person overall. A few years ago I flew with a friend of mine to London and we went to train with them. I still remember the feeling of seeing him first time in real life, exactly like on the social media. Yeah, but I really do wish I had this anime-like upbringing. Seriously, this is how raise a son with love and instill in him self esteem. Seems like a much better option than being raised by my super neurotic father. While comparing my father to him, I also wish at the same time to have the confidence to be a father like him. Not necessarily the same anime style, but just being a cool father who is wise, charismatic, and overall enjoys life to the fullest. Yes, if it isn't clear by now, he is definitely a role-model for me. One of the role models that give me inspiration. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5pqOmodXj/?igsh=MTZtcmdxc3N4MW9pZw== https://www.instagram.com/p/CXtBnZyI6ry/?igsh=MWJ5bXBpem13M2Z4dQ== https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1esGf2oeYo/?igsh=cjRudDVobnF1eHNr Father son Duo: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2uv5qNIPbr/?igsh=MXhoYzA0aHN0OHMycw== But overall you should check out MJ's ig: https://www.instagram.com/iammattjane?igsh=MXg3c3p5bzY1d2ptcw== I'd like to hear your thoughts 🙂

@Leo Gura Thanks man

Wait wtf? How come before I saw that lots of my posts were deleted and now I see them back again? Hyeeeeewwwwww I'm glad they're back Never mind

@Schizophonia I got something for you:

@Nemra Totally agree. If you have the direct experience then you can be more flexible in the way you say those spiritual ideas + the whole idea is to be scientific about it (good epistemology) by taking in lots of sources and adding to it your direct experience. Going after 1 or 3 gurus that talk about woo woo does not make you more 'awake'. It's really about being in the "I don't know" zone and trying to REALLY understand in a scientific empirical way wtf is going on in this life. This also requires action. I am not implying to be of high understanding, but I have been humbled once (mental masturbation on Leo's more "advanced" topics and then got so frustrated that I left the forum for a while), and now I'm dedicating the time to study the foundation (in the Start Here category of the website).

I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE Everything got deleted😢 I had some posts I created that I was hoping to review in a later time period because I loved the way I described the insight. Fuck... But I guess there's a lesson to be learned: Nothing stays for ever, and also it can be seen as a new beginning. Maybe it can teach us not to get very attached to our posts?🤔
