I mean I don't know, but one thought experiment I ran a while back for this exact question was this: If this is all god amusing himself, getting lost in a infinite dream, and all of history is happening right here right now in the mind and imagination of god what would be more fun than a game in which slowly but steadily level up? Level up in your congnitive, spiritual, moral and humanitarian faculties? As you move through the eons of time and space here in the present moment you play a game which at first you're no better that a brute monkey clubbing his percieved enemies with a club and you end up as a bodihsatva under a tree in peace and harmony with all and basking in the understanding of your true nature...only to then being the whole process all over again for infinity. Oh what joy! What a thrill! From a human lens there is all this suffering, death, war, abuse, but this is all percieved from a limited, small, biased, survival prioritizing perspective (if you cut an arm it bleeds). If you are infinite (god consciousness at the moment of death) there is no suffering. All's good baby! Yet we are humans right now and we have no choice but to engage in all the different games of the reality we have been incarnated into. Many, many different games for 8 billion humans on earth. These are just my mad man ramblings here...feel free to ignore.

Sounds cool dude, let us know what your experience was like!

Watched this one back in 2019. The movie started off innocently enough and got really dark towards the end. It's the only movie I've ever switched off because of how disturbing and emotionally uncomfortable it got. The funny thing is those kind of things happen in the real world to real people all the time. This movie really touched me emotionally as I had an ex girlfriend who went through a very similar process of selling her body to men in power to get ahead in life willingly yet probably not fully aware of what she was doing. It absolutely breaks your heart when you see someone you really love go down such dark paths. From her developmental stage that's just how the world worked and that's how you got to the top...now years later she hates men and is full of resentment towards them, and who can blame her. Very disturbing movie indeed. Another tv show I had to eventually stop watching as well was Mr Robot towards it's final seasons as again the show touched on very uncomfortable truths about power relations at work between females employees and their male bosses.

All Studio Ghibli works. Slice of life anime is my favorite genre for movies and tv shows. I like how slice of life celebrates the ordinary life and shows the beauty of just living simply, loving friends and family and being in harmony with your environment. Others anime include: - Your lie in April - Your Name - The boy and the beast - Summer wars - March comes in like a lion - Assassination Classroom - the disastrous life of saiki k I haven't watched an anime in 5 years or so though. The last one I saw was: The boy and the Heron by Studio Ghibli in the cinemas few years back. I like Studio Ghibli so much I kept the movie ticket as a souvenir 😅

Welcome to the most polluted country on earth... Bangladesh. I can image Bryan Johnson having a literal mental breakdown if he had to visit this place:

On the topic of corruption... Smart TV's: You spend lot's of cash on a nice big samsung 4K OLED TV and you wonder why the heck they lag so much.

https://youtube.com/@specialbooksbyspecialkids *Not sure if this one has been shared already. Special Books by Special kids. It's a great channel for people to get to know stories of people with all kinds of conditions and disabilities. Beautiful souls that most of us won't interact with in our daily lives. This channel helped me develop empathy and come to understand the incredible difficult struggles people with physical and mental disabilities deal with.

I'm struggling with clear vision of my trajectory moving into 2026 and beyond. There are things I'm aiming on achieving and goals I'm setting but they are not particularly enriching to the soul. Survival practical goals? Sure lots of that stuff taking place in 26' but those are limited in enriching one's experience here in this human life. I want to begin to be present in my life and body which I've spent my entire life being disconnected from. A really difficult challenge yet rewarding path moving forward would be dedicating true time to contemplation and a meditation or Kriya yoga practice. I also want to work more on rediscovering my own unique artistic style and grow in my artistic endeavors after stopping all my art 8 years ago. I had been a quite successful amateur photographer on the socials for 9 years all through my teens, I'd even been accepted into one of Denmark's top art/ digital media schools. Somewhere along the road i'd sacrificed my originality and creativity for content my audience liked and algorithms favored, it all became a downwards spiral from there and it ended with me deleting a quite successful socials account with all my years of work. These are just some thoughts I've been having as of the past half year but haven't acted upon yet.

Thank you! 🙏

In regards to the blog post on the gulag archipelago does anyone have an alternative link to the yt video? The video is blocked in my country. Cheers

Rich people get sold stories, experiences and social status symbols, the actual quality of what they are buying is often irrelevant. Brings to mind the video you shared on fake wine dealer, the 2500$ Balenciaga bag that looks just like an ikea bag and many more. Below I share another example of these corrupt scams designed just for rich people (Mostly Saudis who own Harrods where these phones are sold) in the tech sector. Notice has the phones are designed to be otragiously obnoxious just the type of things people of lower developmental stages like Trump, saudis and stage orange developmental stages like. The phones scream "look at me I'm someone important with a lot of money" but really they are hideous and impractical. But it's not just rich people, Labubus are a scam for social approval targeted at people of all income levels. This stuff goes deep. *Technically it's a phone, technically it does what you need it to do, it's just baaaad. Even the personal assistant the phone comes with is technically a scam/marketing gimmick to get you to buy the thing, when you are rich enough to spend money on such phones you probably already have a personal team of assistants in your life making the Vertu one obsolete.

On the topic of corruption - Olive Oil:

Two awesome shows you've named right there

This channel has great long form documentaries about the daily lives of people in developing nations and living in extreme poverty.

I liked the finale. Honestly if they ended the show here it would be a great ending as it is. Apparently there will be a second season.

Hi Leo, in regards to this do you think psychedelics have the potential to raise your base level of consciousness permanently or is this more of a hit and miss compared to strong spiritual practice like Kriya yoga? I've heard you say before they give you temporary peaks but you return down to baseline post trip. Thank you and happy holidays!

The video about native americans and early conflicts in the US was great, I watched some other videos from the channel it's engaging stuff 👍

Japanese work culture conformity explained: *This is what happens when you live in a society purely focused on apperances, devoid of soul and spirituality. This is what happens when you confuse external world of objects as the one and true reality. Maya can be a real B***h. Why this actualized work is so important. Imagine these people waste their entire lives worried about what others think of them, if they are acceptable to their superiors, trying to fit in...they are completely paradigm locked in this hellish work culture unable to see a way out. Why it's so important to study many different perspectives, cultures, lifestyles around the world, you see that there are many different ways to live, some good, some not so much. I always thought if some of these Japanese workers who knew English moved abroad they could really kick ass in the west. Japanese, chinese, Singaporeans and Koreans are some of the most educated people on earth (at least in the stem fields). Their skills and knowledge would be greatly appreciated and used by companies in the west instead of wasting away.

Yeah I get ya, watching these videos makes people feel superior to others which is kinda an unhealthy thing to engage in really.

Not as silly as this guy...ok, I shall stop now.

So what's your theory? I'm open to hearing you out. Also notice that Russia could be weaponizing this uncomfortable truth about the west in it's propaganda campaigns. Doesn't make it any less true that this stuff happens. You must be able to hold this as a possibility but detach yourself emotinally from it unlike what Russian propaganda wants you to do which is become outraged by it. Doesn't mean you should hate the west, just means you deal with the fact you live in a corrupt system. In the west the amazing lives we live are thanks to this bullying and explotation of others. Is it wrong? Hell yeah, but this is how the world works in our current evolutionary state on this planet. I will still live in the west and benefit from all the corruption that is going on under the radar. Fuck I'd much rather live in the west than in my country of birth Russia. The west is corrupt, Russia is corrupt, The middle east is corrupt, africa is corrupt and so is every country on earth to one degree or another. There are shenanigans going on all over the place. Your job is to learn about it all and stay detached and cool headed.

Funny not funny 😂

Our master sensei just missing a little cosmetic work. Could get some advice from this guy

I am still young full of regrets but work slowly to fix all my shit. I don't dwell much on my regrets because they make me depressed AF. I try to see regrets as guiding points in my life of where I am failing and where I must take action. My three biggest regrets would be: 1. Not bothering socializing with others my age my entire life. 2. Not saving enough money (I am working on fixing this) 3. Being the violent asshole I was to my brother when we were kids and hurting him almost daily for years. He went through so much shit because of me he never deserved. Being verbally abusive to my mom when I was young and putting her through financial hell through my mistakes in my teens.
