  1. I just realized that the same principle is also clearly visible in very low developed countries both both the government and the people are very selfish and it results in a total mess.
  2. Yeah, I intuitively feel that progression even if I'm still lacking compassion. I'm currently mostly at stage orange with some little shadows of red/blue, so I guess it will happen naturally when I will evolve more into green. I personally experienced that with my dad's attitude, so it makes sense to me. Thanks for your time Leo.
  3. 28 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went well, I had a lot of thoughts but I didn't move my body. I feel like I'm more able to meditate 1 hour every day, it feels like my sessions are easier and faster. I didn't felt more conscious when I opened my eyes.
  4. Thanks you for answers guys. ? I'm emotionally very detached from people and even from my family, so many times I have trouble understanding why people gets so emotional. I also have trouble to understand why people get attached to me. But of course they are nuances here and I'm sure that if it was a life/death situation for my mom I would be affected. I was affected affected even if it was not highly when my grandpa died three years ago. From what I can see health care is related to survival, which is the base for the universe to continue its evolution. If the government is thinking of health care as a way to get more money, then that's really selfish. ? What do you guys think of the argument that people should be responsible for their health, eat healthy, and exercise regularly to avoid diseases? I personally think it's a valid point, but that at the same time we can still get sick and that a certain amount of people will still get rare to cure diseases and that's when free health care have its place.
  5. Society's Evolution I love when Leo talks about evolution and society, those are some of the most interesting videos in my opinion. I prefer them over self-help and sometimes even over enlightenment videos.
  6. 27 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went very well. I let my mind do everything that it wanted so I had a lot of thoughts, but I didn't move my body and kept my back straight during all the session. I felt calmer and more conscious when I opened my eyes.
  7. 26 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went well, I wanted to be mindful and I did sometimes, but I was lost in thoughts most of the time. I didn't move my body at all and kept my back straight during all the meditation. I felt calmer when I opened my eyes.
  8. 25 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went well, I had a lot of thoughts, but I also had a moment where I felt very calm. I didn't move my body a lot except near the end. I felt calmer when I opened my eyes.
  9. 24 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went well even though I meditated late at night and was a little sleepy. I had a lot of thoughts and move my body a little at some moments. I didn't felt more conscious when I opened my eyes.
  10. I don't visit it most of the time, but you can try this one https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/
  11. 23 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went well, but I had some angry thoughts about stage blue and bad past experiences I had with it. I didn't move a body a lot, except near the end. I felt a little calmer when I opened my eyes.
  12. 22 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: The session went well even if I was quite agitated at some moments. I felt a deep profound love as I was having thoughts about a successful self-actualization future for me. I move my body a little too much and I didn't felt more conscious when I opened my eyes.
  13. I agree, I experienced that when travelling and also in my own country. Except that I'm mixed race, so people are confused and depending of the region sometimes they see me as Indian, sometimes as White, sometimes as Black, sometimes as a Middle-Eastern. My skin tone also change pretty fast depending of the sun, I'm a chameleon lol. I don't know a lot of things about the US, but from what I see it seems like race is a huge issue there. From my perspective they are many nuances here and I think that even if the entire world becomes enlightened and all the races mixes together so that they becomes indistinguishable we will still have to use words to refer to specific areas. Yes it's referring to your cultural identity, but only because someone refers to Indian, American, South African, etc. doesn't make the person a racist. For example saying that many people in the US are fat is not racism, but a fact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States . I don't consider that saying that Indians have a little sense of humour is racist, maybe it's true, maybe it's false, maybe it's ignorance, but this is not racism from my point of view. Making a statement whether it's true or false is fine, racism is a much more intense behaviour based on strong biased opinions.
  14. Maybe I have the wrong perspective as I don't really know you, but you seemed to be triggered and very reactive. Also, a person can have whatever passport without being attached to its national identity, or let go of it if he/she wants too.
  15. You seem to be very attached to your Indian identity, why not letting go of that?
  16. Yeah, you guys in France literally do that all the time and honestly I liked it when I was living there! But most people in the world would not understand that as most of the world is at stage blue. I tried it in my native country and people were shocked. I saw it happening to some other persons who use irony a lot, others would think that they are racists and have bad intentions.
  17. 21 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: Even though I was a little sleepy, this session went pretty well. I had a lot of thoughts, but I didn't move my body a lot. At a moment I felt like I was merging with everything and my body was very lightweight. I was a little calmer when I opened my eyes.
  18. 20 February 2020 Time: 1 hour Eyes always closed: Yes Summary: I have mixed feelings about today's meditation. I originally did it in the morning but got interrupted at 46 minutes by some text messages on my phone, so as I wanted to achieve my goal of 1 hour for 30 days I choose to meditate again in the evening. In total, I meditated for 1 hour and 46 minutes today. The first meditation was pretty calm, the second one was more complicated as I was agitated, stressed about some stuff, had a lot of thoughts, and also move my body too much, but I kept it up anyway. In the end, I didn't felt more conscious when I opened my eyes but was satisfied that I'm able to continue my challenge.
  19. OMG. This guy reminds me my previous manager
