Will Bigger

Because there are no mistakes, just constant learning. No evil, just a mis-informed attempt at goodness. Everything you consider hatred is love in seed-form. It just has to sprout. Think of modern society, very unconscious, suffering deeply, but you can also clearly see the awakening that’s happening. the shift from tribalism to civilization which has up until now caused much strife will eventually pay off in creating a peaceful, conscious society. Life is good, it’s all taken care of by divine intelligence. Yes you will suffer a shit ton in life, but you will grow in that suffering

@Leo Gura My hot student xc runner friend actually dated a porn star and had great sex with her for about a month before ghosting her because he realized she was a toxic, manipulative liar. i will never put a girl on a pedestal for anything, especially not just because she’s hot

I’d say read the book models by mark manson. And love yourself first Here’s a secret it tends to turn women on if you’re honest about your attraction to them from the get-go. ”playing it cool” is wimpy

@legendary I don't think it's for us to know whether there truly is a "perfect and complete liberation." at best, we can see there is no self, no world, and find a deep contentment in that. but who's to say what comes "next"? after all, all this experience is already happening without a self or a world.

In a physical plane survival requires the desire to survive. Which requires the concept of “life” and “death”

there's a Ramana Maharshi quote: "Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.", and I was just wondering why he said that.

everything is as it is, no use speculating on hypotheticals

I stayed in a haunted bed and breakfast in Mississippi, old Plantation mansion. around 1 am i started hearing footsteps upstairs, was consistent, loud until about 4 am. it was pretty cool i gotta say.

like iboga, it can be physically harmful. idk why you would want to do ketamine if there are safe options out there. Like tested lsd, shrooms

yea if u just decide to not fall asleep u wont

knowledge is just an appearance

if the point of life was waking up why would you still be alive after you wake up? leo has told you the point of life is waking up because that's what he's decided is the point of his individual life. you can do whatever the hell you want

astral projection

i mean some people eat healthy so they can get gains in the gym (me) so no

yup@Enlightenment

i don't know. why is there anything?

you hurt others and you aren't getting the highest happiness

Just a few questions I had after the video. Primarily for Leo but if u have an actually intelligent answer I’ll welcome it What’s there when no one is looking? Myself I had the intuition that infinite intelligence simulates everything so that it looks like there is an objective world. Why do we appear to live in a shared world? Again I intuited an infinite intelligence world simulation, with people who are linked karmically appearing to share a world. Why does it appear as if we have sensory organs directed at a world? By Nothing, you don’t mean what people normally think of as nothingness, do you? Is what you essentially mean by nothingness just total nonduality to the point where all appearances dissolve? Does the bubble dissolve in deep sleep, and is that blankness of deep sleep God’s perspective? Were you implying that no-self is more true than universal Self? You said the more profound way to interpret reality was pure objectivity over pure subjectivity. and this is tangential but is awareness inherently intelligent or is intelligence an appearance in awareness?

Solipsism is the ONLY metaphysical position. Nothing else is defensible or sensible. Contemplate that and destroy your beliefs- it’s not about believing solipsism, but about going beyond belief. ps: this is not my view of the world. But it is the only thing I can know to be true. The whole idea is that you establish what you know, and stop creating beliefs; just get in tune with your intuition and throw the whole game of logic aside.

@Nahm my own consciousness is the only thing I know for sure. But solipsism is completely absurd and against common sense— so the next step is to just leave the entire belief trap, the whole game of ideas together, and live by intuition alone. I’ve gotten bogged down in nondual philosophy to the point that now I know the next step on The Path for me is getting rid of it. And making the Jump to living in an awareness of it.

It’s just a contemplation excercise. No one can actually be a solipsist- it’s so far removed from common sense and intuition. Designed to quickly break down beliefs. I’ve read the books on your list leo, I get what nonduality is conceptually ?

nope! lol
