that is a bit crazy done any retreat longer than 10 days ?? Can you tell me more about timetable

We don't have a formal ones in Syria i think, and organizing it my self with few friends should be possible i think @Leo Gura I hope you don't mind answering this, I believe you have blogs about retreat I haven't seen them yet but i would love to ask you, what are the most effective ones you have done Or to frame the question better way if you would to go back in time what retreat would do to achieve full awakening Love to hear out from you @Tistepiste Goenka what is that a new fruit ? lol jk Was the retreat just meditation and silence mostly ? was the place super quit ? I wanna get better and better idea on what i should expect and do I been meditating everyday almost everyday for the past 6 years Cool idea to do a dopamine detox 1 week before

My intuition is nudging me to do retreat for a while now for more than a year, but am not in a first world country am currently in Egypt moving to Syria I wanted to do it in a desert in Egypt but now Am thinking about the lush northern Syrian mountains, i would love to hear your experience if you had one even if its a different type of retreat, what i have in mind now is eating only one time a day something super simple like dates and fruits, silence no talking, Meditating several hours a day for 11 days or so, I hope to hear your thoughts, I also thinking about 2-3 months Beast next years not sure about that, Am wondering how many people I should do it with too, I met someone that did a vipassana retreat in dahab but i didn't have enough time to ask him for details, and never met an expert on this topic very difficult to do so for me, my business didn't take off yet tho i had small wins I really really feel like doing that retreat tho

Its amazing if humans would be selfless and help the environment there is so much life in small place

Social media indeed serve trash to people, but also it is an infrastructure that helped tons of businesses, insane amount of educational content is on YouTube people that seek education are getting so much amazing content too, in one hand if you served people (in the context of food businesses) no sugar and no white floor no body will buy the food, I think its a systemic problem and a cultural one people are actively seeking juiced food and the biggest social media binge, I have seen people here they would deliberately never eat food that is healthy at all (they also binge on Facebook trash reels for hours) I make only healthy food most of the time, once I made rice and I make it with olive oil and someone I knew he refused to eat because I didn't use low quality vegetable oil that has no taste LOL the rice taste was not perfect but it was good, that was crazy to me to see that unfathomable, olive oil costed 5 times as much as vegetable oil So we can blame social media of corruption all day long and the fast food Industry but all these businesses are doing serving people what they want to be served lol African geography related video:

So would you agree that it is possible for systematic change to be achieved by a benevolent/ enlightened monarch, akin to Socrates’ “philosopher-king”? having a democratic system in a society where everyone is well educated and spirituality is encouraged + all the self deception introspection aspect, is more sustainable The ideal of Socrates, works best only on paper you need flexibility and dedication of authority in the system to make it sustainable other wise the upper class get easily corrupted and they considerate power in a way that shift the system to totalitarianism and it becomes a very bloody struggle to change the rulers Democratic system are self correcting on the long term, and when the system is self correcting it fixes and sustain it self

If you selected hardcore mode, You get Syria in 2010 before the civil war, North Korea, or saudi Arabia harem as female LOL

Not in the past leo all rural places in the middle east has that phenomena, few weeks ago i was walking next to a mosque and i witness that horror i also seen from my own childhood a child been beaten to memorize the Quran, i was smart when i was a kid i didn't let anyone beat me but seeing other children been beaten i guess is traumatizing To answer your question trying to teach anything with force/violence is pretty low consciousness, the last thing you need to do to a child is to force him to do thing in a certain way or live in a certain way it fracture his psyche he might come up as discipline relative to that culture but he/she will lose any hope of following their own path or they would be radicalized to revenge About james cameron and his work, i was actually digging yesterday into his career it's insane, its crazy that they didn't pay him for the titanic for arguing he want to make the vision right
