Angelo DiLullo. Are you looking exclusively for scientific podcasts, or spiritual ones as well?

Touché.

God, this smells from miles away haha.

A comma makes a difference Also, are you being skeptical of the test results?

@Leo Gura You should talk to Brendan Lea, then. He could help clear up some of the fantasies floating around here - if people are honest and willing to listen.

@CARDOZZO 'Journalist' was my test result.

Right...

Nice.

The purpose of this journal is to share questions, humor, miscellaneous creative content, and raw reflections on personal empowerment and consciousness. My goals are to deepen my experiential understanding of these topics, improve my communication skills, have fun, and help others see things in a new light.

Probably shared it before somewhere:

I'd start by trying to pin down what you mean by love - unpacking how it's being viewed - and the idea that life has a purpose beyond the one you create for it. In your post, love is treated as fundamentally relational, a disposition that shows up between people. And that is a reasonable take. But you're likely fooling yourself in a sense. I'd suggest that people do this all the time with this subject. What you really want is to feel good and improve your experience, but wrapped in a spiritual twist. Loving everything sounds wonderful in theory. But honestly, how would it actually manifest - beyond being just an adopted idea or an intellectual game? Now, take the idea of unconditional love seriously for a moment. The self is inherently conditional in that, among other things, you desire some things and reject others. For example, can you love what you hate? Maybe, but the fact remains that you hate it - which obviously means you do not love it. And there's a reason for that hatred: it's something you've deemed unlovable, whatever the reasons. So, setting aside fantasy and wishful thinking, if there's any operative principle here, make it real. I suspect it won't match your expectations, because, again, it has to be something that is real. What is that about? Maybe adopting a disposition of acceptance towards everything you experience is a good stepping-stone.

"Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity, it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself." - Maharshi

Assertiveness doesn't make something true, in any case. I think you're just misunderstanding. You seem to think your work is pretty much the same as his. I don't know what he does or doesn't listen to. But that's the whole point of the soccer analogy. You assume his students simply take his word for things.

It's also possible (and very likely) that you think you've already listened successfully, but you haven't really, or at least not fully. You know, like when Adi Da talks about the whole psychedelic thing. Listening isn't about deciding what to believe or disbelieve. A soccer player shuts up and learns from Messi, regardless of what he thinks or wants. Let the chips fall where they may.

As in being mindful? You could give occasional fasting a try - just do some research first, and maybe consult your doctor if you have a medical condition. Cold showers can also help. Meditating for a while right after waking up can set the trajectory for your whole day. You can experiment with that if you want. Body and breath awareness are important, too. A stretching routine could be useful here. The same boring, basic stuff applies: cycling, journaling, going to the gym, playing a sport, reading a book. Anything that keeps you active and engaged, especially physically. But beyond external techniques, I’d try to pin down what would allow you to stay mindful and sensitive throughout the day - in a realistic way. A focus on the body would be central to this, it seems. I don't think it's possible for anyone to be "on edge" all the time, so give yourself some space around that.

That pretty much skews the effort of listening from the start. To be clear, I didn't mean to imply that this is a competition between religions.
