@Thought Art By all means, go make your money. I'm not gonna stop you. I will just consider you selfish and unspiritual, and I don't think you'd care, so no harm being done here.

But it obviously doesn't embrace the poor nor the homeless. It only embraces what the ego wants. Of course. More money for me = less money for the poor. It's such an easy equation. Notice, I'm not telling you what to do. This is not a moral speech. It's just the truth.

No, spirituality does not and should not include survival. Survival pollutes spirituality and ruins it for any serious seeker. God does not care about your life. Only you care about your life. Notice that survival is not the same as breathing and eating and all that basic stuff that happens organically. Survival is a lot broader of a concept than just surviving, and it requires sacrificing goodness and selling your soul to the devil. Except that there is. If you want to be spiritual, there are things that you do and things that you don't. Survival is not one of the things you do, it's one of the things that either happen or don't. You're not willing to die for God, and that's fine I'm not asking you to. I'm just telling you how it is, and that your spiritual ego is not true spirituality. If you want to be a millionaire, there are things that you do and things that you don't. You can't sit around at home and expect to be a millionaire out of nowhere. Same thing with spirituality, but in reverse. If you don't even label/consider yourself spiritual, then why do you feel certified to talk about spirituality? I think you're confusing post-modernism with spirituality here, which happens a lot.

What you want is not what is. The nature of desire is that it seeks what isn't and distracts from what is. That's how it is. Check in your own direct experience and see. And of course, you can do whatever you want, but that's called "ego" not higher self. If you want to follow the ego, that's totally fine and I'm not against it. But then you're not spiritual, nor selfless, nor highly conscious. If you follow your ego, then you're unspiritual, selfish, and low consciousness. And don't take it from me, ask Leo himself. He's the one who sets spirituality, selflessness, and higher consciousness on a pedestal, not me (at least at the moment). For me personally, as I said, I am currently chasing after money. I don't care about being selfless right now, and I am honest about it. You guys want spirituality to be this sweet romantic thing that allows everything, but it just can't be that way. There's a trade-off between survival and spirituality, and Leo said many times that he could have made a lot more money if he wanted to. But he didn't obviously because he has a spiritual side. If you want spirituality to include survival, then you're in the wrong realm buddy.
-
Actually, there is. If spirituality is the realization that you are dead/eternal, then seeking money becomes unspiritual. Any seeking activity is antithetical to spirituality for that matter, because the spirit is all there is, so what are you seeking except your delusions? Now, I'm not saying Leo is this way or that way, but that's how it is with money and spirituality. You can test this in your own experience. Just look at how detached you are from any of your possessions, and you'll quickly realize that what you said is nonsense. The truth is that you can't have it both ways. You can't claim idealism and then act materialistically, it's just hypocritical. I myself have gone poor because I left all materialism behind and sought after God for over 5 years until I found it. Now, I'm done seeking after God and I'll be chasing after money again. I am 100% honest.

The only thing that's sillier than this movie is the original 50 Shades of Grey. But still, I don't know how this is not considered racist. Humans are crazy and play jump the rope with racism, that's granted. But to play jump the rope with jumping the rope, that's the next level of double-standards. Just shows you how bullshit everything is, and that survival is king.

Are they what we're told they are? Are our eyes or minds deceiving us or what? Are they portals to other realms? When there is a mystery, we go to our most trusted advisor; Science. We seek explanations, but we get demystifications. "Ha! There ain't no secret." -- they say. On the first whim, every child thought that they were real. Magical, but real. Was our intuition correct and science wrong? Or is everything really just a perspective? - Look at the sky, it's so majestic! -- What's majestic about gas? A little snippet from a chat I had with a random materialist on Omegle some 5 years ago, smh ??♂️

One downside to meditation is that it slows the thinking process and makes it harder to come up with thoughts. I originally have a slightly above average IQ score. Sometimes after deep meditation I fail to make knee-jerk reactions on time. It usually takes me a few seconds to make sense of some happenings around me if I'm absorbed in some meditative state. I guess the opposite is true with psychedelics. Brain scans show hyperactivity in cognitive areas, and so that's probably the case (enhanced cognition). Then again, if my mind isn't originally refined with years of spiritual work, will psychedelics work the same? I doubt that. If you take some random person and give them a dose of 5-MeO, I doubt that will help them in any way, but rather bring out their shadows, insecurities, unresolved traumas, etc. That might be extreme if the person has a severe traumatic past. I'm not yet 100% sure about myself, but I think I should have become ready for something because I have already dealt with and overcome so many dark aspects of my psyche. Can you share what was your first experience of psychedelics like? And how many years of prior work did you have on your belt before doing your first trip? Or if you have already spoken about it, can you link it in case I have missed it? -
I'm not sure I fully understand the post. But I'm of the perspective that brute forcing through some stuff is sometimes a good thing, but it depends.

I'm happy to hear that. Though, not sure if you're implying that others are yourself in the last sentence and/or that you actually haven't yet found anyone who can share the same understanding with you. Anyways, I'm now intrigued to ask what are you practicing nowadays? Maybe I can try out some of your methods, well except psychedelics cuz I don't currently have access to them. I will definitely try something once I visit or move out to some western country. -
Gesundheit2 replied to QandC's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Two things: I doubt your current method is effective as you think or want to believe it is. I think you can use less direct yet more helpful pointers. For example, I don't think it helps anyone to state that you are God and that you are dreaming up reality. It's too direct and requires massive awakening to even entertain as a thought. No-self, on the other hand, is a lot easier to communicate and even illustrate, and still very few people get it, and hardly so. As well, if you think 5-MeO is the answer, then why all the pointers to begin with? I'm kind of concerned that you might be stuck in the "awakening hell" as I call it. It's basically when your life becomes centered around awakening as if it is a must in life and otherwise something bad will happen. You stated many times that all endeavors are pointless in the end, but the way you're treating awakening doesn't communicate that to me. It's way too serious and attached, at least that's how it seems to me sometimes. -

Haha. Sometimes I wonder if you are dreaming awakening to keep yourself asleep. -

Too late. It's not really his problem at this point. You guys rolled with him in the beginning but now you're backing out and leaving him alone. I don't know what happened. I am not quite sure I fully get him, though. If there's one thing I learned about Leo is that his ability to understand is astounding, so even when I disagree with him (and that happens a lot), I always assume in the back of my mind that maybe he's onto something that I'm not aware of. And this has always proven to be a safe assumption, because Leo is obviously always growing. That said, he seems to be mostly concerned with waking people up to God. So, if you are already awake, his pointers probably won't make much sense to you. Yet, it seems his pointers are not just pointers but something that he deeply identifies with and believes strongly. But then again, maybe he's doing that on purpose. Maybe he wants us to perceive him that way. Maybe it's necessary for a leader/teacher to demonstrate confidence and certainty sometimes in order to establish a feeling of trust with the audience, or at least maybe that's what he thinks. Or maybe that's what I think he thinks. Or maybe that's what I want you to think he thinks. Or maybe that's what he wants me to make you think that he thinks lol. TL:DR, I haven't had enough yet -

Haha. Used to get that, too. Not fun at all. Then I realized that the throwing around was just an oscillating sensation between the head and the heart area, kinda like a 3D circular audio effect manifested in real life in the visual field. -

@KatiesKarma I used to get sleep paralysis a lot, like 6 years ago and earlier. Luckily, I never experience it anymore. There are definitely no demons, though. I used to cover myself with a delightful green blanket, and so the "demon" looked green. It was basically just the blanket, but the mind is so fucking creative. It's not really what your eyes see, but how your mind interprets it. Now, I can't remember exactly what I did to overcome that problem for good. But I remember how I started to figure out how to gain back control of the body during the attack. The technique is simple and easy. When you experience sleep paralysis, you feel distant from the body. The body feels heavy and you feel powerless. The way I used to gain back control was by simply moving my fingers and toes (basically small muscles) the moment I'd realize that I'm experiencing sleep paralysis, and then automatically the rest of the body would follow. It's as though the "soul" escapes the body during sleep and then keeps hanging out of it until we wake up, but with sleep paralysis it doesn't return for some reason. Don't try to move your entire arm or leg immediately, though, because it won't work but rather frustrate and freak you out as you probably know. However, the only big challenge would be to remain calm during the attack and to not freak out. And for that, you can practice meditation. Also, try to avoid noise as much as possible, especially engine noise, because it's very toxic. And essentially, try to get rid of all stressors in your life. I have an inclination to believe that sleep paralysis is a manifestation and a direct symptom of stress. So, if you experience a lot of stress on a daily basis, you probably should be working on eliminating stress in all forms if you want a permanent solution. -

Because they are currently the least aligned with the global narrative. Eastern religions are one step ahead, but that's about it. -

Easy question. Modern survival does not require physical strength as much as intellectual strength (which doesn't necessarily equal intelligence, btw). Modern jobs don't require muscles as much as brains. Technology has become the muscles. Even farming and building have now become relatively easy as long as you have the mental skills. Skill is now more important than power, because power is guaranteed through technology. Even war is now less dependent on physical strength because of modern weapons. You don't need to be strong to survive anymore. Your government basically protects you, so you don't even have to worry about your safety for the majority of your life. None of that was the case before modern technology, so men had to be strong back then as an obligation. 2000 years ago, it didn't matter much if you were smart or educated. In today's world, the biggest brains survive the most.

@Leo Gura Okay, I'm not gonna argue with you on anything. Just keep in mind that once you were confident that materialism is absolute truth and that science is infallible and then you changed your mind. -
Gesundheit2 replied to QandC's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
And how do you know that? You think that that's the definitive answer because of some experiences you've had, but it's equally possible that someday you will experience the opposite or something entirely different and then renounce that conclusion. How many times did that pattern occur? You see, there is no end or limit to what you can experience at any moment, which is precisely what God/Infinity is. You're trying to grasp the ungraspable, and therefore you're limiting God by trying to define it like this. The human mind can never get a hold on God no matter the chemicals. The mind can only run around in circles. -
