Socializing may be a form of suffering for some people and can severely affect their mental state. I am one of those people, and I believe what Leo says about his personal experience because I have the same experience. I do seek connections, deep connections, and sometimes I get tiny crumbs of it when I socialize, but it is not enough for me. It is never enough because most social interactions don’t prioritize true connection, instead, they often revolve around satisfying needs like seeking validation or approval, share shallow information, kill the time, entertain etc. Rarely is it about genuine connection and intimacy. I deeply value human connection and intimacy and genuinely want to be seen and to see the other. However, it is very rare to form such deep connections with people nowadays because of the very structure of our capitalist and patriarchal society, which values individuality, being busy, and achievement over connection and intimacy. Spirituality makes me feel connected, meditation and my dreams also give me a sense of connection, nature, art and reading as well. Meaningful and deep conversations with people make me feel connected too, especially when they are vulnerable and authentic (though it’s rare because it requires intention and courage as many people, like myself, suffer from fear of intimacy and vulnerability and find it difficult to be authentic). But merely socializing with people who talk for the sake of talking, and entertainment for the sake of it makes me feel alienated and miserable.

Since I discovered the sacred geometry theory as the underlying structure of both physical reality and consciousness, I have been seeking ways to incorporate it into my spiritual practice. I found this channel run by an artist who draws mandalas based on sacred geometry principles. He starts almost every mandala with the Flower of Life structure, which serves as the foundation for any sacred geometric shape. The process of drawing mandalas, especially in such a technical way that requires precision, accuracy, and concentration, brings the mind into a uniquely serene meditative state. This may be preferable for those who find it difficult to meditate in stillness but have a love for art. One can learn a lot from the free tutorials on his channel, but he also offers a course and a free Discord group on the topic. I have not subscribed to his course yet (maybe in the future when I will have more time) but I have learned from the free tutorials and the content he shared. I have been enjoying it for a while and thought I would share it here. Here, he is drawing a mandala based on a crop circle (Milk Hill, 2001) The crop circle, like most if not all of them, is also based on sacred geometry principles, demonstrating how universal sacred geometry is.

Wow, I don’t know how to talk about it with others without sounding insane, but this is such an interesting topic. Many people are automatically so dismissive of such things, and on top of that, many today’s brains are so cooked because of technology addiction, which suppresses empathy, while telepathy requires empathy. So even if we remove the barrier of openness to this possibility, there is the barrier of technology addiction which is not easy to remove. Maybe in 100+ years this will be something basic taught in schools. That would be great because this is a universal language which can be used with humans, animals, plants, extraterrestrials etc. I will check the podcast because it amazes me.

If you want to defend the Palestinian leadership, then defend them. My point is not that Palestinians deserve what is happening to them but to show how they are manipulated and exploited by their leadership. Their leaders basically can do ANYTHING hurtful to the Palestinian civilians excusing it by external forces, such as the West, Jews, Zionism etc. It also happens in Israel, with Bibi and the right wing but the difference is that we have some sort of democracy, pluralism and opposition, still.

For me, a terrorist is someone who intentionally kills innocents.

Most orphans in the world don’t commit mass killings. They simply continue their lives as best as they can. And heal. There must be some ideological factor involved. As a leader in Gaza, I can be very corrupt and make the living conditions of my people terrible. All the money and international support they receive, I can hoard and keep within my family, who enjoy a luxurious life, security, and freedom, while I convince the citizens that their economic situation is dire because of something external like Jews or Zionism who did them this and that which they must sacrifice their lives to fight against. And that they will be rewarded if they die (religious belief). From an external perspective, people might say: “Look, Palestinians are so oppressed by Israel that they have no choice but to commit terror attacks! Their situation must be so bad! How can we help them? Let’s donate money.” Or when Israel attacks as it did as a response to Oct 7. People legitimately concerned about the Palestinians and donate money, there are many organizations. But that money, of course, goes to the leaders, who become richer while the Palestinian people grow poorer, more broken, and more traumatized and more radicalized. While the leaders, instead of promoting healing they buy more weapons. And the cycle continues. If I were a Palestinian leader, whether we win and occupy the entire land or lose and are left with nothing, it wouldn’t matter because I win in both cases. Even if I were to die, that would still be a win because I would be seen as a martyr and my family will receive even more respect from the Palestinian citizens, I would be seen as an hero and it will inspire the younger Palestinian generations to be martyr, continuing the cycle. This is an endless cycle. I don’t say that Israel has no responsibility in the conflict, I just describe the part to which the Palestinian authorities are responsible for.

They are as cunning and manipulative as our leaders. Politicians use the same techniques on both their people and the media. No politician can be fully trusted. They have stolen a disproportionate amount of the money donated by kind people to Palestinian civilians, men, women, and children. They are thieves.

I have read it from a book written by a former Hamas member who is also interested in spirituality.

Ok.

He gives a good overview and claims that there is no possible solution and I tend to agree.

They are playing the part of those ideologically brainwashed from childhood, believing that Jews are responsible for the evil in the world and for the low quality of their lives, rather than their greedy leaders who use them as puppets and sacrifice them to gain more money from international support by making them believe they should sacrifice their lives for a piece of land they have never even been to, and that objectively belongs to no one because nothing truly belongs to anyone.

In your view, every Israeli citizen is a terrorist. Every baby, every child, every woman or man, young, old, even animals. All of them are evil zionists who are controlling the world, with their inhumane greed, so they must die. Even their animals must die. As we have seen with Hamas, killing fucking pets, because this poor cat or dog must have been brainwashed with zionist’s ideology.

Democracy works for wise, rational, and educated masses, not for the ignorant. Wise, rational, and educated people are those who have free choice because their perspective is higher, wider, and holistic, aiming for the greater good of society and humanity, not narrow, selfish, self-centered, self-serving, or ideological. The ignorant masses are heavily manipulated by politicians to serve their interests. Allowing the ignorant to vote is like allowing a toddler to drive a car. The masses may remain ignorant because of genetic limitations or more likely, because it serves the elites. The elites have no incentive to encourage rational and wise living among the masses, as such people would challenge their power and authority.

Yesterday Hamas executed several Palestinians for “collaborating” with Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/video-appears-to-show-hamas-executing-several-alleged-collaborators-in-gaza/

Israel is preparing for the release of 200 Palestinian terrorists in exchange for the four young Israeli women. Seventy out of the 200 Palestinian terrorists will be exiled.

4 female IDF soldiers have been released from Hamas captivity today. They are 19 years old. Currently they are on their way to Israel.

Didn’t watch the entire competition but her voice is stunning.

Thank you, this is very comprehensive. Where did you learn that?

Many ‘spiritual’ people are full of shit. And many spiritual gurus are usually narcissists who seek attention and narcissistic supply to boost their false self image. The self identification as ‘spiritual’ is a trap. And aloneness is much more important than we were taught to believe. It cures. And it liberates.

Why you even bother asking me questions if my opinions don’t matter? This is such a waste of time.

I have watched this and this is very tragic. Do you believe IDF systematically targeting civilians?
