  1. Yes it's true, but still I don't see why not to talk about it. Maybe Franco was not in the war as Mussolini and Hitler, but he still had a big part in it, even if on paper Spain was more neutral. I mean, a neutral country doesn't have concentration camps, and Spain does. Also, the fact that Spain was not focused not expanding, and not as present in the war as Italy and Germany were, doesn't mean that it was not a fascist country. Fascism stayed long after the war, and as in Italy it has never died. Today we're not at the same level of Franco and Mussolini, but unfortunately we're getting back there.
  2. Don't have time right now to watch the whole video, so maybe it's a stupid question; but why did he talk about Italian and German fascism but not the Spanish one? Would be interesting to know about that too, Franco had an important role also for many years after the war.
  3. It's sad to see how many negative comments towards somebody who simply shared an experience (an important one)
  4. True, but we're not directly conscious of the fact that we embody truth. What I said is because from what I see you kind of treat him like a God.
  5. What I wanted to say is that it doesn't make sense to share something that outside of your awareness. It's not okay to share something that you don't know about (I'm not criticizing, you also said so). Leo shares what he has experienced, while you share what you don't know
  6. But why do you promote things that are beyond your level of awareness? I totally understand you by the way. I think that something that is on another lever of my awareness can greatly help others too, but I haven't accessed that yet. So I focus on myself first, cause I don't really know what I'm talking about.
  7. Do one thing at a time.
  8. @Ishanga also, I understand that Sadhguru teaches about great and interesting ideas, but don't treat him like a God, he doesn't hold truth. Nobody does
  9. @Ishanga sounds like you are also taking all this too seriously Take your own advice and laugh about all of it. You trying to preach all of that is also the game of the ego. (And my response is also the game of the ego)
  10. Yes I get it. But it's not everywhere like that, in the Netherlands you can rent a small room and work in there. They ask a lot of money and probably something goes to the government, but not more than any other job. Of course it always depends on how things are regulated and still it's not going to be perfect
  11. Just because you can make more money per hour as a prostitute, it doesn't mean that it's better than working in a kitchen. Maybe for you yes, but not for everyone. There are better ways to make money than working in a kitchen or as a prostitute. And if I would be in a poor country I would prefer being stuck in a kitchen than being stuck in a brothel.
  12. I wouldn't. How is selling your body and going back to your country with half million smart? If I'm from a poor country I am deeply traumatized in many ways, and I wouldn't want myself or anyone from my family being traumatized even sexually.
  13. In Italy, where I'm from it's legal to prostitute yourself, and it's not regularized, it's not controlled by the government. Result: women being forced to prostitute themselves, disgusting brothels where people are exploited, women getting psychologically and psychically hurt (both from the clients and the bosses), and also killed. At the end it doesn't matter if it's legal or not, the game changes and it gets better for people's lives and security when it's regularized and controlled. Of course that doesn't mean that underground prostitution fully stops, but it would be better.
  14. Is there anyone here who has tried all these techniques? Also, can I find somewhere online those audios they talk about in the report? I would really be interested in reading and applying everything seriously
  15. Why then do you still want to be in touch with her? You had great courage to let go of the family (most people are not so strong to do so), then why not to let it go fully?
  16. You should understand your mother's pov. I know it makes you angry, but telling you to go to church is an act of love. She wants the best for you, and in her mind being a Christian will help you and your life. She doesn't want to hurt you.
  17. Chapeau 👏🏼
  18. Nope, but will watch for sure
  19. Yeah I agree that's why I asked that question. I imagine there some underlying unconscious thought about some things that make me feel sad.
  20. Yeah sorry if I was vague. When I take shrooms the whole headspace I'm in feels really nature-like, wild, more earthy. With LSD everything is more electrical, and 2C-B more mechanic. But yeah as you said it's clearer when trying the psychedelic itself. This is my experience though, it might be different for you.
  21. @Rishabh R which course is it? @Princess Arabia I agree with the fact that these emotions come from thought, but one question: if I wake up for example being sad, it happens without me having sad thoughts, I wake up and immediately meditate 20min, then start with my work. I don't have specifically sad thoughts, I think on what I have to do, but still my baseline mood is sad. Why is that? Is it because I'm not letting myself feel fully the emotion? How can I do that but still work, study, and do the things I have to do? Sometimes though when I have more time and I let myself fully feel the "negative" emotions they don't come out. I just feel the baseline sadness, but I can't fully feel it to then let it go.
  22. Typical movies with or about psychedelics: Fear and loathing in Las Vegas Midsommar (great movie) Enter the void (not so nice) Movies that fuck with your mind: Mulholland drive La piel que habito (in Spanish, amazing) Vanilla sky If you watch any of these lmk what you think about it!
  23. Oh damn I'm sorry... To me it has worked a lot
