How do we get to a future without war? If you say "it's inherent" then we will always have war. On the other hand there could be a way to never have war again.

By questioning them.

No, we all have that same problem. That's what we have in common and not what divides us. What divides us is false beliefs and false sense of identities like religion and nationalism.

Anyone know how reality is created? What is the exact mechanism? Or is this an inherent mystery? I've heard Leo talk about how on a psychedelic you can see how you are creating reality around yourself. I've experienced this too but I have forgot and it wasn't clear. Can anyone explain? All there is is consciousness. So when you raise your consciousness to higher and higher levels (maybe to alien consciousness?) Do you become aware of how consciousness creates reality?

So if all states of consciousness are the same but some are "higher" I guess you should prefer the higher one? Leo could spend his time drinking beer and watching sports but instead chooses "alien consciousness" and is recommending we do the same. It is a personal development forum after all. Also having "no mind" or "sports fan mind" or "alien consciousness" mind is technically all the same but I am guess Leo is saying the last one is the best way to be? Just like you would say "no mind" is better than being a heroin addict?

Love this quote by Krishnamurti "Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life - perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody, that is the beauty of it. It has no technique and therefore no authority"

We are all children. War is childish. War is a game waged by childish men low on SD stages.

Interesting, there's obviously divide within a political wing not just between wings. My opinion (which admittedly isn't worth much) is that Ana Kasparian is doing a disservice to her party. Why go on a right wing podcast and bad mouth your party? Of course she will find a sympathetic ear to her views but will only cement in the minds of the right wing that there is problems on the left. Also who ever said Newsom is perfect and that governing is easy? Yet Ana seems to be demanding Newsom do better and reach Queen Ana Kasparians standards of governing.

Yes Ive heard others say to follow the breath etc So what does this look like? While I'm at work talking with a patient do I also watch my breath at the same time?

Ya dude, nothing makes sense and nothing is ultimately logical. If I gave you a "cause" then you would ask what is the "cause" of the cause. It's turtles all the way down. Your signature even says only a fool thinks he found wisdom (aka answers).

Yes great comedy. A true master of the craft.

I see. I'm just trying to get an understanding. If a human is capable of it then it can't be alien?. If its extra-terrestrial that would mean he literally left the planet. We are all aliens to other beings on other planets. Furthermore all forms of consciousness are "alien" to another. In fact your consciousness is "alien" to mine. I can see it being radically different and "higher" than normal everyday human consciousness. If I am God than I am already not human and therefore have alien consciousness already. If I call God an alien. Very interesting and radical stuff. This forum is great. Thanks for all your feedback my dudes.

Who is holding onto the story of God? Is it God?

@UnlovingGod @Leo Gura I think you guys mean "alien" as in"unfamiliar and disturbing or distasteful." and NOT "relating to or denoting beings supposedly from other worlds; extraterrestrial."

Great answers, thanks! @toasty7718 @Princess Arabia @The Lucid Dreamer You seem to have good insights, but does an "authentically embodied being" really go on a forum and talk like this? You seem to have a very cynical tone. If you don't like Leo's main ideas why are you on his forum? Also why jump to the crass conclusion that solipsism isn't beneficial when it very well could be to someone else?

@toasty7718 I am not sure what Martin was getting at when he said this, but this just sounds like the standard model that everone buys into. It is full of inconsistencies as Leo and others have shown. Have you watched Leo's videos?

Holy shit dude, you have done your homework. Gentlemen, take notes and listen to @The0Self

A global war is such a funny concept! Bunch of rich old 50+ men, brainwashing a bunch of 20-30 year old men to go kill each other for "reasons". All of us 20-30 year old men should say "no!" Enough with this nonsense! And end wars for good. Can't have wars without soldiers.

The only good talking point I keep hearing about Trump is that he is better for world peace. The reasoning is that other (stage red) strongmen around the world are better behaved when there is another strongman/ wannabe dictator in the Whitehouse. Looking around the world I can't help thinking this might be the case. Stage red strongmen all over the world see Biden (stage orange/green) as an opportunity to take advantage of stage green weakness. Also perhaps Trump is more of an isolationist, which might provoke other countries less. What are your thoughts? Where did I go wrong?

Russia annexed Crimea under Obama, then again invaded Ukraine under Biden. China too has waited till Trump was gone to do what it's doing. These thugs around the world were better behaved with Trump as President. I always vote liberal but makes me wonder if a crazy man in the Whitehouse makes other crazy men around the world better behaved?

@koops that's awesome! Actualized.org has the power to change your life. You seem like a worthy student. @Leo Gurais the Socrates of our time and is "corrupting the youth" more profoundly than Socrates did.

I checked out when he said "thoughts that Jesus gave to you". I mean c'mon. A Jew, or Muslims, or Hindu, who lived 1000s of years ago can't have any significance to your life, right? If that's true anything can be true.

Naw you're alright. You have good advice usually. My original point was by being a more rounded and complete person before you get into a relatinship of any kind you will have more success and fulfillment from the relationship. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend.

You don't seem very smart. See, assumptions about people are not nice. Your assumptions about me are wrong too. Due to laziness I just wrote "laid" but if you want more from a partner, like a relationship etc, the observations I noted would still apply. In this way they are all the same.
