How to be wise

If truth and happiness/peace were like a fork in the road, which one would you choose? If you choose truth, you are an intellectual. If you choose happiness/peace (like most spiritual teachers) then you are an idealist. In Myers Briggs, they are NT and NF respectively.

Leo is an intellectual, so he’s more interested in ‘knowing the truth’ than he is in living a good and happy life. This reminds me of Nisargadatta, who also was not interested in ‘happiness’ but only in knowing what the truth is.

@Username Weddings are a great place to meet women.

@Kyle Gjerseth The purpose of prayer is to ask for something that you want. Enlightenment is not something you can ask for, because the asking is being done by the ego. Enlightenment is about destroying the ego. So prayer and enlightenment are two different and unrelated things.

As long as you don’t buy it from a restaurant. Cook it yourself.

@mmKay Leo has extremely high standards for health, which almost no one follows. Literally everybody would fail Leo’s health tests. And yet, many people still live to their 80s, which is the biggest reason to be healthy. Eat the liver my friend.

@catcat69123 Appreciate what you have. As long as there is no negative emotion, it is good enough.

@Rilles I recommend the work of Byron Katie. It is a self-inquiry technique.

Just close your eyes. In that moment, all of reality is a dream, because you’re not seeing any of it, yet you still believe it all exists.

You clearly stated earlier that you were a conservative. How then was this an ‘incorrect assumption’? Please explain. You’re making no logical sense.

@Rilles This is the illusion from the mind. It’s grip on you is very strong, it will take some serious work to become aware of it. You can’t get rid of it, but you can be aware of how the mind is giving you that illusion. Self inquiry is superior to meditation for this.

Shinzen is full of shit. Nobody is going to pass his ‘tests’.

If you want to get laid by the tons, do this:

@Leo Gura Tablets have a low absorption rate. I think these are the best micronutrients to get: https://go.caltonnutrition.com/spnutreince-v1?_ga=2.7013873.2125534745.1638818000-1935427617.1638818000

@Vrubel You’re overthinking it dude. People are too busy with their own lives to worry about you.

@Danioover9000 Are you saying Trump is not a conservative?

@Danioover9000 You and Trump are both conservatives. That’s not an assumption.

@Danioover9000 Did you vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020?

Conservatives are not welcome in this forum. I’m not going to hide this. Please leave.

@Danioover9000 It’s pretty clear from your previous posts that you are a diehard conservative right winger. I don’t know why you’re pretending to be otherwise. If you’re scared that we are going to eat you alive here, then you should be.

If weak men produce strong men, why is a right winger like you complaining?

If strong men produce good times, and good times produces weak men, then it logically follows that strong men produce weak men. Will they still agree to this?

@Adodd The fact that you got involved with a meth addict and knocked her up says a lot about you. Birds of a feather flock together.
