That's what I like to hear.

What's your prediction for Portugal vs Spain?

I wonder what use these discussions ultimately have, other than people liking what they hear and agreeing with it (or not.)

Also, "Everything is Absolute," "Nothingness is the source of Absolute Consciousness," "Everything is relative," "Imagination is everything", "limitation is a hallucination," "The Mind is absolute imagination," and so on and so forth - these kinds of assessments, once believed or claimed, can be used for pretty much any purpose. It might be true that "God is infinite imagination." (whatever that actually points to, which may be different from your conception of it and your mind-associations.) But then, as a concrete example, how is it that, given the inability to record such a video, you're confronted with something that can't be explained away with an "Imagination Awakening"? Tricky tricky. I'm not explaining this very well.

Bay leaves in swimming pools. Patent pending.

Spot on. I think that people can be quite gullible, and this is conflated with so-called open-mindedness. Leo is obviously not excluded from this. If anything, this is a good, practical case study of these things. Sounding like this or that person and using shared terminology doesn't necessarily mean they're talking about the same thing. The more I pay attention, the more I'm convinced Leo is far more dizzy when it comes to this "awakening" business than he'd like to admit - to himself. The situation wouldn't be so exacerbated were it not for the grandiose, superior claims. I don't have a problem with them coming across as egotistical; I simply see them as unfounded.

"To your meals."

You likely mean personal experience.

I don't do sports betting. It was just a casual prediction.

Wow.

Adding bay leaves to meals. Why?

My bet is that Norway is going to eliminate Brazil.

Shut up and do psychedelics.
