Not many.

Good question. I'd recommend starting with Adyashanti. He offers straightforward, clear, zen-like assistance. And contemplation.

Actualized Clips is the name of the official channel run by Leo. The one you talk about is run by another person. I think we talked about it in a thread not long ago. He might resume posting on the Actualized Clips channel at some point.

@Water by the River okay.

Haven't looked into it yet, but I hear tell Kant might have also had an enlightenment or two.

I assume Jed McKenna.

George Carlin.

@Water by the River Sharing a cosmology is nothing compared to being grounded on personal experience. Be honest.

Not legal in Vegas yet.

That one I like, too. From now on it will be called EA Sports FC.

Likely possible and extremely rare. Refer to the story of Ramana Maharshi. Truth is what you should be after, not feeling good. Bliss may be inherent to one's nature but grounding our search for truth on the pursuit of "pleasure" is not appropriate. Becoming conscious of the Truth must be the committed goal. Granted, Would any human pursue the truth if he were completely happy and free from suffering? What is happiness? In any case, it's likely we have no idea what bliss is. It may not be what we think it is.

Monument Valley as an excellent, fun mobile game series. Loopy and perspectival.

Start watching Futurama already.

They aren't either clear on what they want nor do they actually commit to it once they figure it out.

The questions were mostly meant to elicit wonder, but thanks for the answer.

And will continue to do so infinitely. Science's job is producing indirect, fact-based knowledge. I don't think science will ever "arrive" when it comes to the nature of things. Again, that's not its job. How could that occur? It'd be like trying to capture reality in a thought. Is direct consciousness a possibility? What is it about?

What's knowledge? What does It mean knowing something? Is perceiving something the same as knowing what it is? Are senses reliable? Can the senses provide direct knowledge of what something is? What is an object? What is a chair? Having set all perception and "knowledge" about anything aside, What is actually "there"? What is being there? What is? This is the domain of ontology -- metaphysics.

From Instagram:

May be offering some valid points under a bunch of rhetoric but sounds like a good charlatan. Careful with all the fantasizing going on in spiritual circles. It's best to ground these matters on science, not on cosmologies.

Tell the truth.

That may be true, however creating one is very useful and empowering. Without a conscious life purpose, a lot of mischief can happen as pleasure and pain dictate our lives. The saying, Idle hands do the devil's work, is apt here. Watch The Trap of The Toxic Life Purpose.

What specifically makes you say that? Have you actually looked into his work? He might be partial to plant-based, whole foods diet, however that doesn't invalidate the research backing up such lifestyle choice. To me he also tries to present accurate info and studies about what he's claiming. In any case I find his work very useful and inspiring. I find nutrition to be a fascinating research subject. I figured you didn't receive the notification as it was later edited to include what you said.

Could be fun.
