Brexit was an embarrassingly stupid idea. The Tories deserve to loose for such a destructive political stunt and don't deserve power again. REMEMBER TO VOTE!

Stage red attacks stage green

Defining anything is always tricky. This especially applies to the strangle-loopy nature of awakening.

Judging by your posts it's clear you have a gift in the spiritual domain. Your passion, knowledge, and skills comes through in your words. My advice is set high sights for yourself. Don't get bogged down in something petty just to survive. Get creative, use your obvious skill to find something very profound and rewarding to do in the world. Your options are truly infinite. I suspect we will be seeing great things from you in the near future.

Awesome

I think Buddhism is perhaps one of the best mainstream religions. I like that it doesn't have a God and it encourages introspection and meditation. I have trouble believing or trusting Leo's videos since Buddhism has been around much longer and has had more time to be tested. I would love to see Leo do a video on this topic. I want to know why Buddhism is just as ridiculous as Christianity or Islam, (even though all the religions have kernels/origins in truth.) What makes modern day Buddhism so attractive to westerners and what parts of Buddhism is dogma and false? If any one else knows please share your thoughts. Thank you!

We are also pitted against each other as kids on who is the smartest, most physically fit, and most charming.

The truth beyond relativism is that all preferences that we are fighting over are like flavors of icecream. In reality a crocodile is alot like a lake monster. Only in our minds do we call a crocodile not a lake monster!

Society is also a sick and toxic place. It prioritizes tech, money, looks, and war rather than happiness. Sick and jaded adults, brainwashed by the system, mentally beat any joy out of us and raise us to be just like them.

Yes, meditation can mean different things. Krishnamurti is also highly critical of meditation according to a method by someone else. Then you become a mindless drone as you say.

I think Leo was posting PBD as an example of someone who can't admit they are wrong.

Meditate, this is an easy one to get over

They irony is that Trump wanted to send Hillary to Jail. Shakespeare couldn't have written this better.

The US isn't perfect but I trust them way more than the Russians or the Chinese.

We need to see the world as one species and one country. While immigrants can temporarily drag down a country (i.e. SD levels). It is more likely that the immigrants will be brought higher on the SD scale. This will in turn bring the whole world up. Remember division causes conflict. Immigration is a step towards unity. (Even if the short term consequences do not benefit you individually).

Trump emboldened the nationalistic racist assholes around the world. This is why Trump is such an existential threat to world stability. Make sure you vote where you can.

Trump is an existential threat to democracy. Make sure you vote and encourage your friends also.

Lol

😂 What about this?

Any time I am not happy with something I could be wrong. Unhappy with my job? I picked the wrong one. Or have the wrong attitude towards it. Unhappy with my partner? I picked the wrong one or interacting with them wrong. Unhappy with my friend situation? I am wrong about my socializing skills.

If by definition God creates the universe, then that means God takes absolute responsibility of everything, including everyone's stupidness, and all the suffering in the world? So is complaining about someone (including a parent or a politician) or about anything that happens a low consciousness and immature thing to do?

Thanks Leo, even a shitty parent then is Genius? So should I complain about the parent or should I accept that the complaining is also God? How should I feel about shitty parent?

Nice Ty, for sure. So the blaming is also God

So only thinking exists? What a mind fuck. So what creates the "physical world" around us? Is that also thought?

Just admit we love our addictions. Before we had that bad habit, we actively sought it out because it brought us joy. Now you want to "go back". But go back to what? There is no going back. You can only go forward to whatever you seek out next.
