  1. @Princess Arabia Thanks for the response. I tend to make spirituality a chore when it's just a way of being. I needed to hear that.
  2. @Leo Gura What about Jay Shetty or Dan Koe?
  3. @Sandhu Wasn't expecting that lol. But well said my man, well said.
  4. @Keryo Koffa Yeah, It's fucked up. Most people can't understand this. And those who do can't do anything about it on a bigger scale.
  5. @Leo Gura Post-modernism doesn't seem very psychologically advanced to me. Yet the world is still pretty much stuck on modernism. Is this mostly because of survival?
  6. Don't think, quite your mind, your mind is the problem. All of this bullshit is insane. Instead of advising people on how to think better, the popular advice these days is to not think.
  7. So, it’s about bringing awareness to thought, not to stop thinking. Inherently, it seems to me, there is nothing wrong with thought; it’s just how most people think (unconsciously) which is the problem. Hearing so much about of the anti-thought stuff made me slightly biased against it, which made it worse. It’s as if the more you try to silence it the more fights back. But once you surrender, paradoxically, you begin to have some control. I mean it makes sense too, how can you control something without understanding it? And how can you understand something when you are constantly judging it?

  9. Hi guys. I have recently started a YouTube channel where I post compilations of various bodycam videos. I am starting this thread so I can share some of the most interesting ones with you guys. I would also love it if you guys could share the ones you find interesting. You can also check out my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@AgentStark1795/videos
  10. @Princess ArabiaHey I have seen you have this sort of “Nothing really matters” attitude. I am not saying there anything wrong with it, or that you do in-fact have it, but if you do; how do you get things done? Like if at the end you just die, then why do anything at all?
  11. @YimpaI wonder what happened to people that got a glimpse of it. @LSD-Rumi This was comforting to read. Thanks for the powerful message, brother. I watched one of leo’s videos where he talked about how easy it is to bastardise spirituality, and that’s why advanced teachings are advanced; the ego will almost always corrupt it and make things worse for you.
  12. @Ramanujan I am Dietician and I write Youtube scripts on the side.
  13. @Paradoxed Thank you you for the detailed response. It really boils down to judgment doesn’t it? That’s one hell of a trap to escape. And the thing about blindly following gurus. Leo has warned against it several times and yet, we have a strong tendency to fall into that trap. I have been forgiving myself now and honestly I feel a stronger connection because of it. Focusing on basic self help and ensuring the fundamentals is another thing that has helped me tons.
  14. @Francis777Thanks for pointing that out. The sin of pride. I was hesitant to write that last paragraph because of this, but I didn't want what I wrote to just be a rant without purpose. @Spiritual Warrior Definitely, the first step was getting awareness over it. I have my trust in the principle that awareness alone is curative.
  15. Make Discipline is Destiny by Ryan Holiday your bible for a few months. You need to develop your stage blue (among other things).
  16. During my time in university, I came across various opinions from different teachers, which made it challenging to discern what was right. Over time, I realized that creating a good nutrition plan cannot be entirely generalized. While there are principles to follow, each person has unique physical and mental conditions, leading to individualized needs. This is why we underwent thorough training in conducting assessments. Additionally, we were taught that a balanced diet is a good general recommendation. I haven’t read that book yet. Sounds interesting though, I’ll give it a read soon. And the problem of identity is huge when it comes to nutrition. Food for some reason is very tightly knit with culture, and subsequently with people and their identities. And I believe we have to respect everyone’s culture, but at the same time helping them make changes they comfortably can.

  18. I am so relieved that you made this decision. Last I logged in you were talking about making an Alien consciousness course. I think this decision to go for a more practical course, which most of us need a lot more, shows your wisdom.
  19. I have a bachelor's degree in Nutrition, and when the topic of Veganism arose, the prevailing opinion was that while it may be a good spiritual practice, it is considered mediocre at best for meeting the body's nutritional needs.
  20. He seems like a rational person but for some reason, he’s killing himself. It’s slightly disturbing to watch him talk about the way he eats and then there is his breathless way of speaking. I am not sure if he is doing it for the love and attention. Because if that’s the case then he’s probably a narcissist with an under-developed ego that might have endured some trauma. And because of this he needs massive attention to sustain his sense of self.
  21. So, I have always had a deep metaphysical connection. I have had mystical experiences, lived seeing beauty everywhere, and had a lot of deep love and joy in life. But ever since I have started a job (Youtube scriptwriter/ manager) I can feel myself losing that and it’s kinda sad. I try my best to hold on to that connection but I just can’t get myself to get to the level of consciousness I used to be at. Do you have any tips or suggestions that would help in getting back?
