🤯 Is knowledge beyond words? Is a silent mind more intelligent? How do you cultivate knowledge that is beyond words if that is even possible? Also, knowledge seems extremely relative. For example, I have knowledge of a "dog" because of everything that is "not a dog". But what do I compare "everything" to in order to get knowledge of it?

Ukraine gave up it's nukes in exchange for protection. So we must protect Ukraine. It can be as simple as that. It's not agreed on anywhere in writing that NATO won't expand.

Already 21 hahah. You can still do anything you want. Using your age as an excuse is a common self deception technique. You enjoy the beginning by realizing it never ends. Once you get to level 1 you will be dreaming of getting to level 2.

Anything can happen in an infinite universe, including transpeople. Ask yourself why someone changing their bodies is interesting to you? Do you feel threatened that your identity is not as solid as you thought? Or do you think your kids will want to be trans and you must intervene somehow?

^^^this describes almost 100% of people in scientific, or religious, or nationalistic, communities. But you are right that beliefs and guru worship is a trap to watch out for.

It's called a tech hype cycle, I think Leo posted a video on it in his blog. If the headline reads "this technology could end the world..." Then people click on it. They did the same with crypto.

Imagine an alien who closely observes earth and has a life span of 500,000 years. The alien would see empires come and go, influential and uninfluential people live out their lives. There would be drama, love, endings and beginnings. This forum is little bit like that and Leo is the Alien since he is the only constant participant here.

God is whatever you say it is

Reality is smarter than opinions.

I often wonder if suicide is wrong. Death could be the best thing that ever happens to us. Why do we fear it so much? Is not transcendence the ultimate goal of spirituality?

Maybe this movie explains how "God" works. The law of attraction goes pretty well with actualized teachings I find.

Is kriya yoga and kundalini awakening worth the hype? It looks like alot of work for some "energy release". Are the warnings for kundalini awakening just marketing to get people interested?

Like how? What mechanism. What is the mode of creation? Also it is said here (and other places) that "I am God" but also there is no "me". How can no-self and "I am God" both be true? I've been thinking about this for hours now so any input is appreciated.

The effects of the Kundalini yoga. I tried it today and its not letting me sleep

@Davino @Razard86 Thanks for helping. Any advice on how to bring the kundalini back down?

Yes I see now it's real. Any advice to over come it?

@Davinogreat YouTube channel. Thanks everyone! great advice

Because there are many things I enjoy and time is limited. So I am wondering if kriya yoga and the supposed kundalini awakening is worth the time and effort.

Imagine a 100,000 year old alien closely observing planet Earth. The alien would see people come and go. Some were more active in their communities than others. Some felt more important, some had more to say, some benefited their communities, while some didn't. Everyone died no matter what they did. This forum is a little like the story of humanity. People come and go. Argue, love, and chatter away for a while then eventually everyone leaves no matter what. The funny thing is Leo is like the Alien....

What the forum and spirituality can make you realize, to the deepest level, that every accusation is a confession in the most mindfuckery strangle loop kind of way. 😉 Viva la Vida my friend!

True, Jesus's celebrity status only took off after Constantine accepted Christianity in 313. Nothing causes more devilry than beliefs in a "saviour" or a "higher power" religion is a great example.

The irony is that she is famous for creating a world where wizards use magic to turn into witches, and cats. It's also funny seeing Catholics hate on transpeople when they believe Jesus can turn into a cookie.

We have had 2000 years of singling out Jesus as "special". It's time to truly follow Jesus advice and lift up ourselves (and the poor, and the handicapped, and the prostitutes, and kids) to divine levels that Jesus is perceived to be. Ironically almost all spiritual persons say the same thing.

Leo often discusses liberals and conservatives, but I question the usefulness of these labels. In his blog, Leo admits it's pointless to label dictators as left or right, so why not apply the same logic to individuals? After all, our beliefs are a blend of left and right values across various topics. This division could be causing more harm than good, hindering unity. Should we who are concerned with finding the truth, abandon these unquantifiable distinctions that confine people into narrow categories?

The world IQ distribution is alarming to me. All the poor countries have the lowest IQ. Is that the reason they are poor? More importantly happiness is associated with higher IQ people. Are depressed poor people just dumber? Does your ability to do spirituality (and understand spiritual concepts) dependant on your IQ? Why or why not? P.s. please don't call me racist. Im not the sharpest tool in the shed myself. I am partly wondering if there is hope for idiots like me 😁
