LoneWonderer

Somewhat old but extremely intresting documentary about Korean culture.

@Carl-Richard I saw the interview and took what I found intresting and just moved passed what was in my opinion not a correct representation of reality. I wanted to ask you if you knew of any books to help better understand this concept of reasoning to ourselves. I know what you mean but wondered if there are any books out there on the matter of self deception.

It's out of your control. Respect her decision and accept the outcome whatever it may be.

I am the Lone Wonderer if you must know...

The goals are shallow but they are my goals. When I thought this is want I wanted to do it's like a fire of passion arose in me. A sense of Yes, of course! You must try again! This made you happy back then so do it! Give it everything you have! The masculine energy, the spirit of competition, a vent for all the anger and frustration. It's one of those thoughts you'll remember for the rest of your life. It's one of those rare moments when you see the path so clear before you where before there was none. And I will dedicated my life to it. There is only the goal. When I'm on my deathbed I know I'd tried and I'd given everything to make it happen. I didn't waste the rest of my life sleepwalking through life. On my deathbed I'll be proud that I'd REALLY tried.

I will win. Because I can't stand the alternative any longer. Meager existense, comfortable, yet killing me slowly from purposelessness. I have failed in the past but this doesn't reflect the present. Today is a brand new day. I am not defined by my past failings. I am not my failures. I will succeed.

This is where he's gone off the rails by trying to place reality into models. This is where he's stuck by placing limits on the limitless and not fully comprehending the things he talks about.

It is cringe they call him the smartest man, but that's just a click bait title for people who believe their could be such a thing as "the world's smartest man"

@Princess Arabia Yes, I know all this. I don't however want to write long posts trying to explain or justify God as Nothingness (even though even this is not accurate). So I explain it quickly but some people misunderstand that. It's been stated again and again, God is the infinite void from which everything arises. We know this, so I'd rather not go into this again and again when trying to write a quick post.

@Princess Arabia He's got some differences and yes his definition is a little different, but the core of what he's saying is that god creates all of reality and human beings are vehicles for consciousness.

So he has one of the highest IQs in the world. Instead of pursuing money he dedicated his life to figuring out the nature of reality and came to the same conclusions Leo did. Was blow away by this one. I was expecting him to give some weird explanation on the orginin of life and god like most of the high IQ yet low wisdom people give but was pleasantly surprised. *His explanation starts at timestamp 16:50

Jesters and all other entities are manifestations of ego. You must let go in the experience, accept in order to transcend them to go to non duality (however much easier said than done). During the trip do your best to recognize entities and realms as manifestations of ego and this will help to push through to higher levels of god.

In particular look for his books: 1. The Entheological Paradigm: Essays on the DMT and 5-MeO-DMT Experience, and the Meaning of it All 2. Entheogenic Liberation: Unraveling the Enigma of Nonduality with 5-MeO-DMT Energetic Therapy Both have some overlap but worth reading as they cover extensive content on the experience.

@Jacob Morres 🙏

this is a gross oversimplification but I'd define average as anyone in stage orange and below. Again this is a oversimplification as each stage has incredibly acomplished individuals outside of the norm. For me average also means conforming to your culture, tribe, customs, traditions beliefs withought questioning anything. In that sense yes, I also don't understand how people can live their lives this way buuuuuuut it's also true I was brought up questioning everything. If I'd been born in a different family, under different circumstances I'd probably also be "average" and think "average".
