If you want to do true science, watch this video and start looking at your hand

The more I marvel at this the more magical I feel

I think extreme perfectionism unwinds naturally and gradually the more we love our avatar just as it is. Unlearning anxious habits from school days related to so many tests and exams. Noticing in the moment who or what is it that I'm trying to be perfect for right now. Or even seeing my perfectionism as being okay too. Is it even a problem if I stop labelling it as such.

Kinda cool how with this infinite simultaneity there is also infinite peace.

Check out Frank Yang's youtube channel, I think he goes into this in more detail.

But you do exist, as the mystery of existence itself.

@Godishere The way I understand his teaching is that it's about deconstructing all sensation. And that even God mind is still a sense of self that can be deconstructed. In Vedanta, the teacher James Swartz talks about the creator aspect of God, known as Ishvara, as just being one aspect of God. The phrase "freedom is freedom" refers to an indescribable beyondness, ie beyond the creator aspect itself. So in a way your true nature is prior to God as the creator, but of course still God.

Frank Yang likes to say that first there is transcendence of the individual ego, then transcendence of the soul, and finally transcendence of the creator aspect of God, which is like the ultimate ego in a way.

And perhaps society actually needs the conscious people to be making babies

One day you meet the right woman and you might just change your views on not wanting to have kids. You never know, it can also be a very magical journey.

To do the child-rearing thing properly you would actually need to be quite selfless.

Yeah I guess we have this perception that these guys are suppose to be perfect. Being a saint feels a bit boring to me though. I would rather be a sage. Perhaps being dissed is just what that girl needed at that moment, who knows

These nitpicking videos are lame. Hating on gurus has become like a sport on youtube, ie low vibe. What's next, I suppose Tolle is a fake too

Yeah, that's how scientists see it. I think I have heard Leo use the phrase "evolution of consciousness" also though, he said he'll do a video on that topic in the future if I'm not mistaken.

If consciousness is infinite and in a sense the changeless ocean in which all apparent change appears, what is meant by the evolution of consciousness ? I assume it refers to evolution in the relative and not the absolute . . .

@Mason Riggle Thank you

Do you think it might even be like that movie The Truman Show, where everyone around us could be acting a certain way based on our state of consciousness ?

@tuku747 , @Leo Gura , @Nahm Thank you.

In this clip Spira describes solipsism as a form of madness. In my own experience I feel there are elements of truth to solipsism. What does not feel true to me is saying that all the characters in my dream will disappear, when this dream life ends. Because many of the characters in my dream also have their own sovereign experience of solipsism. Is it not more true to say that each character or soul is dreaming a unique yet overlapping universe ? And is solipsism itself not also some form of illusion ?

@Rinne How about going to a good tantra teacher ? Can be useful to explore your own sensuality in new ways.

Where is it written that once every two days is bad ? I still feel that the less we judge ourselves for watching porn the less of a compulsive thing it becomes. Trying to cut porn out completely while not having a girlfriend is just torturing yourself.

@Rinne "i did that for like a whole year last year. i was doing it like once every 2 days. I actually enjoyed my sessions and i wasnt watching over stimulating videos but like just one video instead. " Sounds like not judging yourself was actually working for you.

What would happen if you stopped judging yourself for watching porn ?

Someone once gave me this exercise which I found quite useful. Imagine yourself in space looking back at earth. Close your eyes and put one hand on your heart. Then feel into this question: What is it that I would like to bring to earth ? I do this exercise from time to time to get more clarity on my particular theme in this life. And I have found that it tends to evolve over time.
