  1. From my current understanding, there's no my mind or other minds, all of that is just thinking. Before thinking, there is nobody home. Reality is happening. An unfolding of a process.
  2. Well said. Need to pin this so that no other solipsism thread gets created
  3. Lmao I laughed at this. But it might actually be true, Leo's past might be full of devilry and uncousnciousness. Have his roots deep in hell sort of thing
  4. But then the solipisist can say something like: "But that distinction itself is just an arbitrary thing you made to make sense of reality, there's no such thing as relative and absolute, its all absolute. My d*ck is the only thing that exists". How would you reply?
  5. They do not fail in my perspective. Think about it, if you really groked that your life is a dream like really, exactly like a lucid dream moment, would you feel shame? Would you care about being rejected by a girl? Would you care so much about money or bullshit like that? You will probably not care so much, and would laught like crazy(as other mystics have done it) into why other people are so serious. Profound insights can rewire and reprogram your entire identity, view of the world and your relationship to it. So yeah, it's extremely practical too but should be pursued for the "gains" but for understanding sake is what I would say.
  6. Not so simple like that. Effort doesn't guarantee Enlightenment. But Thanks for your input.
  7. I think I am going to do that. Need to be really significant like you said for it to not break the flow of meditation in vain.
  8. It depends, some sessions is short others long, but I try doing more than one session a day, at least 2 or more. Not at all, I have very good memory. But, like I said some insights are like dreams, even if you have good memory you are bound to forget most dreams. I can.
  9. Yeah, that's obvious but what I said above is that sometimes if you don't write immediately that insight is lost forever.
  10. Lack of abundance and Incompleteness for sure. If you have done spiritual practice and you have experienced bliss, and temporary completeness, the thought of chasing girls and attraction is non-existent in those moments.
  11. I remember @Razard86 sharing a video or something about this guy. What do you guys think?
  12. Not really. It's actually strange because the concept of time doesnt exist in dreams. It is neither long nor short, it just happens.
  13. If you don't have absolute independence and power then your will is not free at all.
  14. A lie, a wave doesnt get to choose whatever it wants and do whatever it wants, it depends on the oceans will and state.
  15. I think people say it's more real because it last for a lot of time and there's coherence and stability to it.
  16. I'm gonna bend ya and squeeze all the alieness out of your head
  17. All problems in the world would be solved if we could experience others persons being Forgiving would be almost a silly thing. If you have lived through the experience of any people who have done wrong to you, you would understand instantly why they have done and there would be no problem at all.
  18. But how does this tell if the guy in the video is legit or not?
  19. That's true, but there's understanding that's only possible through experience. An example would be a blind man that never saw light in his life. People around him goes on and on telling him how light is, how it works and so on. But all that doesnt mean anything, all those explanations are rubbish because he can't do a simple action: see light. Same thing with this work, scholars of spirituality or any foundational master doesn't mean they actually understand what the master taught. Understading in the theoritical might be some kind of understanding, but is certainly a very poor one. You might understand how flying works, but that's not really the case because you were never a bird. The understanding in this case is just in the abstract, which is really poor in my opinion. Without direct experience all understanding is incomplete, no matter how sophisticated it might appear to be.
  20. Hmm, the same can be said about stage orange girls. They're lost in their fantasies and are likely full of trauma, which is why they are so ambitious and materialistic in the first place Can't escape this problem I am afraid.
