Something Funny

Thanks. My ego doesn't hate itself.

Amount of work required to do this is different for different people. For me, it feels like I would have to overhaul my whole life and being. I meant if it's worth it in comparison to avoiding all the struggle required to get there and just dying and seeing what comes next.

@Lila9 it's nice to be at the point where you are and be able to enjoy your life experiences. But not all people are there. And I guess in this case my question would be: is it worth bothering and putting it all the effort to get there?

@ICURBlessings that's very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I wonder how "real" those experiences are. Them being similar could simply be a result of everyone being human and sharing the same brain structure.

@Bandman <3 how are you doing?

@Keryo Koffa thanks for sharing. Yeah, I guess there are still things to do. And life could be an enjoyable experience if you do it right. But often times life sucks and it feels like too much to bother. I can't say that I feel afraid of what comes after life, mostly just curious. I think you could die in a chill way. Without feeling sad or negative.

That's a good point. Probably the most honest and no bullshit response I've got so far. Although some of the coolest things were done on belief. And I am really curious about what's on the other side.

@Leo Gura ok

I know, just asking your opinion

I see. Thank you. If I were to commit to it, what kind of results can I expect (more or less)?

I don't get the metaphor. If Leo is still trying to fix my car, then he IS a mechanic?

I use that word the way I like it. I consider Leo to be my guru. You are free to have your own definition.

@Ishanga that does sound nice. Lots of people also do hardcore yoga practices, retreats, fasts, meditations, etc., get amazing insights, but also fail to integrate it and so none of it sticks.

Dying also feels like ultimate freedom

@Leo Gura but you are my guru I just practiced random yoga and breath work exercises from random people, and did some meditation techniques from your videos. It felt good while I did them, but like I said, I don't think they did anything permanent. I guess I developed better self-awareness.

@Talinn well, at least they sound kind of okay with you. I wouldn't tell my parents that I am trans or gay because I am not suicidal I am lucky that I was born straight, ngl.

@Leo Gura I understand. But I am actually not sure about the goal of it. With what you are teaching, it's clear that the goal is understanding and god realization. But what about all the physical practices? Sure, they make you feel good and can be used for emotional regulation, but what is the long-term point? I didn't notice any lasting mental changes from meditation or breathwork.

@Leo Gura I understand the issue with "brainless" spirituality. Are there any pros for doing it? Were there any long term benefits after all the meditations, breath work practices, and yoga sessions?

@Leo Gura sorry

Wow, you know her so well. Some nice judgements there. You, of course, made this comment because learning is your highest priority.

@Anon212 have you ever fainted?

@Talinn true, I would have never told my parents that I want to transition. Or even that I am gay, lol. This is definitely an issue for many people

But who cares if Elon Musk regrets it or not. What's important is if his kid regrets it or not. And they don't. They seem quite happy.

Yes, but upon re-read, it felt to me like Leo just made a general comment, making his own point, and then you asked him to elaborate, even though he didn't really feel like it. Just my perspective. I didn't catch it when reading your discussion for the first time. I mostly got triggered by Leo shitting on stage green so much

To be fair, you did quote him first, several times, actually.
