  1. It's the best philosophical / puzzle game I have played this year. Highly recommend you try it out.
  2. Time is the notion of change within the dream and the dream itself. A static dream is not the greatest good there could be. Therefore Oneness is not just the present moment. Oneness is infinitely all moments. It is time itself.
  3. Evil is what you consider evil. Are black holes evil? People desire what they find valuable. Your morale is governed by your values. (People discover/know what's valuable through experience, evolution and survival instincts.)
  4. Being understood Being valued Being loved Being healthy Being around people who I understand, value, love and are healthy
  5. What you do is a result of your desires. What you desire is a result of your values. What you value is a result of your experience. What you experience is a result of ___.
  6. Thank you for the answers! I like the way you think because I thought about this too. It has a nice recursiveness to it. However, sometimes what we experience is not a function of our actions nor our will (lower ego/self). If we talk about the higher solipsistic You/Self/Will, then it makes sense, yes. Essentially Consciousness doing whatever it desires and experiencing the effects of that in an infinite loop. I think happy is he who has all he desires. With that said, the fewer the desires, the greater the chance of happiness. In other words, I view happiness as a measurement of % desires currently manifesting. If you only have the desire to be healthy and you are healthy, then you're 100% happy. I was wondering how survival plays a role in this, so I thought about this more and here's what I noticed: What you value is a result of your experience, however, you could also value the experience itself. Most (if not all) things we do are for the sake of survival. Why? Because most people desire to survive. Why? Because they value the experience of life, of being. Isn't this what the higher self values? The experience of existing, being, (and loving?) If I had to finish the sentence myself, it'd probably be something along the lines of: (Lower-self version only): What you experience is a result of being. Because being is a result of your parents having made you and put you into this world.
  7. Leo, we want to hear from you. It’s consciousness speaking.
  8. Here's my way of looking at it: Think about the direction of reasoning. When you ask "why?", it implies forward reasoning. "Why did this happen?" (You go forward in time to explain why it happened. / aka The intention) When you ask "how?", it implies backward reasoning. "How did this happen?" (You go backward in time to explain how it happened.) The reason for why You exist is this present moment. The answer to why You exist is now. Why else would you exist if it wasn't for this present moment?
  9. Hi Leo, Do you have any favourite resources (books/videos/sites) you could recommend when it comes to stocks? I make trades but they are not backed by any research. Right now I just follow my gut feeling by looking at the charts and reading the news. I would like to learn how to become a better trader, how to make better judgements, how to do research and understand if a company is undervalued or overvalued. I don't feel confident because I lack the knowledge and experience. It feels more like gambling to me at the moment and I don't want that to be the case. If you were my mentor, where would you point me to?
  10. It's just not valuable and entertaining enough for most people to care. However, you could do something good for the chess community. That's the main pool of people who would pay for anything you do. I just don't think they're many. Also don't forget about AI beating you. Here's a suggestion: make this chessboard a reality: Or - a chessboard that works over the internet with moving 3d figures like the one in the video would also be fun. I wish I could play chess like that with my friends and I am the kind of person who doesn't even care about chess. In other words, do something related to the game but do not play the game itself. Do not make yourself the product because it's very hard to stand out. Trust me nobody cares if you're good at chess. I have heard people say "this is my favourite sports player / sports team" but I have never heard anyone say "this is my favourite chess player."
  11. A fun and interesting take on spiral dynamics.
  12. A fun and brief outline of what men and women value in each other.
  13. Please, yes. I've been waiting for a while I'm re-watching old episodes. Leo's videos are more interesting to watch (well, listen) than high budget Hollywood movies. P.S. I just realized I've made my first post one year since I created my account on this forum.
