  1. Could be useful to explore some teachings that look more at your direct experience. Rupert Spira for example might be a nice change from new age teachings.
  2. "The uploader has not made the video available in your country" Do you perhaps know if official charges have been made ?
  3. That video is not available here somehow. I saw on Mark Vicente's channel they did an interview with a lawyer, known as the cult assassin. I wonder if she will be bringing official charges against Bentinho. My sense is he probably won't show his face again.
  4. I prefer that you dont break any legs. Survival instincts of the body dont fall away, or at least not in my experience. Separate self is a sense of being separate from life, of being incomplete, of believing ur the thinker, taking personal ownership of thoughts and emotions, believing in free will etc. The me here hasn't 'fallen away' permanently yet, but memories dont have a sense of me anymore, and suffering related to the 'past' has disappeared.
  5. @Nivsch To say that it's just the cool kids is a bit rediculous. Here are examples of Israeli Holocaust scholars who say it's a genocide.
  6. Genocide scholars and major organizations like the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) state that Israel's military actions and policies in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide under the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention. Key Reasons Cited by Scholars Destruction of Life-Sustaining Conditions: Scholars point to the near-total blockade and deprivation of food, water, medicine, fuel, and electricity, which has led to severe malnutrition, preventable diseases, and famine in Gaza. Mass Civilian Casualties and Infrastructure Demolition: The widespread destruction of housing, educational facilities, and healthcare systems, alongside tens of thousands of Palestinian casualties (predominantly women and children), is viewed as targeting the foundations of civilian existence. Statements of Intent: Experts highlight public rhetoric from various Israeli officials that dehumanizes Palestinians, characterizes the entire population of the enclave as the enemy, or calls for the destruction and displacement of Gaza. Collective Targeting: Scholars argue that the military campaign has expanded past a targeted operation against Hamas to systematically impact the survival of Gaza's entire civilian population. (I come back to my original point: the only people who do not agree with Gaza being labelled a genocide, are either anti Muslim or have strong links with Israel. Personally I don't care what it's labelled as. But see if you can find one person, who doesn't have a dog in this fight, that's going to split hairs over this being called a genocide.) @Heaven Can you prove that it's not a genocide ?
  7. Stories all the way down 🙂
  8. Not at all, not being condescending, not my thing. I just notice that over and over you seem to imply that radical nonduality etc is somehow in denial of reality. Quite the opposite is true. When the sense of a separate me falls away rapidly, life actually feels more intense, in the sense that emotions are experienced more raw, ie less resistance, like a baby crying freely.
  9. They not against thought lol. Simply pointing out that language is a human invention. Meaning is made up, it's not baked into reality.
  10. The point is im a neutral observer. Think about it, who would take the time and energy to say that something atrocious is bad, but hey it's not that bad, unless you're either anti muslim or have strong links with Israel ?
  11. Says someone from Israel, lol you proving my point. No offense, the only people who are taking the time to want to unlabel this as genocide (which even genocide scholars in Israel have stated), are either anti muslim or strongly affiliated with Israel, a neutral observer you are not.
  12. The only people who have a problem calling it a genocide are the ones who have some strong identification with Israel. They will never admit its a genocide unless you show them a written note by Bibi stating genocidal intent.

  14. Just out of curiosity though, what term do you prefer for what happened there ?
  15. So brave these people taking out all their frustration on Sheeran and calling him a coward. He's not Bibi lol.
  16. You're a great jazz teacher, who's ur favorite jazz artists ?
  17. It's 80's magic Wednesday bro
  18. That was beautiful to listen to, thank you. Earlier today I felt to experiment, and listen to one of Leo's God realization videos again after a long time. It was very magical. Everything feels so similar now. Feeling love everywhere. I sometimes wonder why the radical nondualists hesitate to use the word God.
