"God is at his best when 'naughty'?" Ummm...yeah, but...uh...no, no, WHAT ?!

Fuck yeah! *Curt slowly becomes enlightened and just drops of the face of youtube for 3 months*

@Nahm Thank you for the feedback. I don't know if i could handle the stress of managing an AirBNB, but real estate is a good idea What do you mean by; "Psychologically, loa & spheres wise, avoidance or the escaping of something doesn’t created much. Focus upon wanted does. " @Michal__Czech is awesome and that's a great idea! Thanks @VidoThank you for your input, investing in LP is never a bad idea @Tudo Bom brigado. Y Sim, muito! <3

To start having people lose their jobs and being forced over what they do or don't do with their bodies is actually quite disturbing, no?

@Tudo Oi , ta bom!? I fucking love Brazil and this guy clearly doesn't know what he is talking about, full of fear and ignorance. I lived in Leblon for a month and felt safer than i do in los angeles, not to mention the amazing people, vibrant life and BEAUTIFUL women. This is why i want to move out there and life would be great. Sorry @Shawn Philips but you are incorrect. While it always smart to be safe no matter where you travel, to label all of south america as dangerous is just plain ignorance. This is what all my family and friends think and i live most of my life out there and i feel safer than i do in the west

something i really liked about the interview was that Leo was "forced" to answer all of Kurts questions, and explain the answers very detailed and in laymans terms and using a lot of metaphors. This helped me have new insights that i didn't get from just a video of Leo speaking to the camera because with the interview he had to actually break things down based on this guys questions, if that makes sense. Anyway it gave me a new perspective on many of the things Leo speaks about. So thanks Leo for doing that, and Kurt for being a solid skeptic!

Hm, very interesting. Thanks guys

I have begun to really feel that reality is a dream/halucination. The one thing i can't seem to gain clarity on is other people. There is clearly another agent acting on its own accord, of which i have no control or understanding, I understand how a tree is just my mind, consciousness, i feel that, but when i see a person, i snap out of it completely

@aurum Thank you for the insight/feedback!

Thanks everyone! @LordFall Yeah that's the truth, I want to find other guys (or girls) who want to travel and party and do pickup but also do spiritual work and work remote. Tougher than it seems though. As far as the goal would go, I just want a tribe where we can be authentic, vulnerable and grow and support each other. But also be stupid and goofy. @somegirl Your right, it's also tough to make any solid crew because I jet out the second i get bored. So maybe in some ways i am just creating this for myself, a part of me thinks that i really just want to be a lone wolf anyway and maybe the travel lifestlye just comes with the price tag of fleeting friendships

i travel the world, i have been to almost every continent and over 50 countries. i love the traveling but everyone i meet is fleeting and they know i am fleeting too. how do i find my place and my people? I don't want to be a part of this party "fuck it" culuture but also don't want friends who take life and spirituaity super serious because they usually have even worse egos.

I'm in no place to judge as i wouldn't hold the conversation like that, but i feel as an interviewer he could've been a bit more focused and socially intelligent. Nonetheless , was still a great listen

@Waves my list is absurdly close to yours as i was also highly motivated by that video , cheers

anyone else have this? I have a ton of spiritual books, stuff i genuinely want to read, but i find wanting spending my free time just in nature staring at the trees and water. Not really even contemplating, but just fucking being, just enjoying being alive and enjoying my monkey mind when it gets all riled up too. But i feel i am missing on tons of wisdom and if i just keep doing this i'll be super quiet and lose interest in social games completely

Very insightful and wise thank you guys @peanutspathtotruth @Eph75

Wise words, i will meditate on this. @Eph75When you say development is created through challenge, in your experience is not possible to develop through enjoyment or solely meditation? Is challenge neccesary for developing?

got any links to these discussions?

All you have to do is compare this video from 8 years ago; essentially the idea is the same as the most recent "Valuable things develop over time" but explained so differently

I was very excited about finally diving into Ken Wilber after devouring Ralstons' books. But i read this article online from Mark Manson about Ken Wilber and it turned me off a bit. If Wilber was such a genius on this stuff why wouldn't he be able to successfully run this program and have such a poor emotional response to his critics? @Leo Gura any thoughts? https://markmanson.net/ken-wilber

Everytime I try to do this it goes well for about a week but then i get really depressed, lonely and anxious and i'm even worse when i go back to socializing. Is it just like a break-through period i need to push through? FYI; I spend about 4-6 hours everyday sitting in my chair and staring at the ocean doing this meditation

@Leo Gura @Iksander @hamedsf This was what i wanted to , and didn't want to hear. It is hard to justify pushing through these "purification" levels because my ego is just saying "what are you doing dude? of course sitting in a chair for 4-6 hours/day alone is going to get you sad and tense, you are bored, go socialize, go run, etc" but i know too well that this is part of the process. At times I can push through and if i do i reach a profound level of peace. Knowing this is where most drop out of meditation is actually more motivating to continue, thanks guys. @Spiritual Seeker You are not alone! All we can do is continue and have faith.

Thank you for the thought out responses everyone, I can admit I hold the "image" i have of someone quite high as to how seriously I take their work. If there is a great spiritual teacher who ended up abusing his followers or something, I find that i can't read their material with an open mind. With Wilber it doesn't seem like anything other than massive critque from others, I will begin reading his books as I was very excited to get started on them.
