@Will Everything is belief, individual or collective. Everything "physical" is actually belief. ALL of it. Everything. To believe is the most subtle and powerful force in existence. I hope your connotation of the word belief grows exponentially. You're still young, that's your fault.

@Joseph Maynor @ChimpBrain It certainly made me realize I'm more of a mood roller coaster than I was aware of before. A lot of times I type a comment, and then feel like an ass later or the next day. I don't go back and edit it out though, because knowing it's still there keeps my awareness of mood growing. Also, the most intense breakthrough of my life came from writing about how paranormal is not real. Leo and a member tore me up about it so I spent a few weeks doing things I never did and my connotation of the word reality is forever completely changed. What about you Joseph? I'm curious.

@nahtanoj Seen Billy Elliot?

@CuteCornDog That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Great post. Thanks.

@Mrkvn8 It's all around you right now. One time, a few years ago, I stared at a rock for an hour or so. It changed my life. I think what you want is not pleasurable things, but rather to find "eternity in an hour, and heaven in a wild flower". Pick any bland normal object, and stare at it until you see it.

@Will Maybe I misinterpreted...? My perspective is that what you typed is relative to something specific and it triggered a bigger picture emotion. I don't get the sense you meant it in the general way you stated it. I could be wrong. In not asking what it is, however, I can't think of something you could want but not have. This world has a hell of a variety to offer. If you're asking how I go about appreciating vs getting in the loop of wanting someone thing that I can't have, I have a very simple approach. I actually believe I can have, experience or be anything I want, just not immediately, and not without the right state of mind to plan and pursue in happiness.

My grandma's creativity My grandpa's ability to let go of the past My dad's work ethic My mom's patience and kindness My wife's honesty about me My oldest son's vision & drive My youngest son's outlook My daughter's humor

@Will it's probably not that simple. What was the thing you desired? (If you don't mind me asking)

@Dan Arnautu omg hell ya. That in itself could be one hell of a Leo video.

@Dan Arnautu Great post. I like that video. It's the level I'm usually choosing to operate on. Very freeing of habits in my experience. Some would say that it's not the truth and that the truth is there is no observer and we are all the consciousness, but some also say there is no truth. Get's rhetorical without relativity.

@Mert 7 billion toasters, one electricity. 7 billion iPads, one wifi source. Etc.

@harisankartj Keep going!!!! The facinating thing about truth is that there is only relativity. There is no one thing that is other than the everything. To attempt to discover a truth relative to nothing is nonsensical. To live a life without discovering any relative truths is also nonsensical.

@Jani I used to tell people about meditation benefits (my dad included). I don't anymore, outside of this forum. It's a real cart before the horse dilemma. People say "you're successful" or "you're happy" because you have money, didn't have a traumatizing childhood, were born smart, had better opportunities, etc, etc, etc. They are caught up in the momentum of their thinking, which is the very thing meditation would free them from, but they are also caught up in their connotations of meditation so they don't try it. People do love to talk about it as if they've tried it though. The dog has a certain level of consciousness. Buddha had a certain level too. Most of us are somewhere inbetween.

@strwbrycough First, the word is "you're". Second, watch the videos before you post. You could not be more inaccurate of what the videos are communicating relative to "assuming you're a person and you're conditioned". Just my meaningless assessment, but it appears to me that you are yet to become aware of your own conditioning, or really what conditioning is. Some people do need to "fix" their "broken lives". Some people don't. Some people see value in actualizing, some don't. People are crazy because to you, people are crazy. To me, people are not crazy.

@Icarus Leo is seriously amazing.

@kieranperez This is a blessing buddy. You re lucky to see how you see. You are not cattle. Do what you need to do so you can get to a place of working for yourself. You don't need more of people telling you what to do, unless you can enjoy it because you are solid in your mind knowing it's a means to more freedom (working for yourself). You are young, I am not. From my experience, I think the older you get the more you're going to see the blessing in your not needing / wanting authority / boss / dad. Keep in mind, your dad is doing his best. You are in a generation that knows better BECAUSE of him and his generation. You are lucky. Make a goal. It will keep wind in your sales through the bullshit you have to do to work your way up / get more freedom. Try to enjoy that bullshit, work on how you see it. As an example, perhaps a goal of opening a pizza shop will ease the having to work for someone else for a while to save up the seed money. Realestate is good also. Maybe get licensed and save money then go on your own. Fuck bosses man. Your life is your dream.

@Will I mean nobody forced you to take a shower. Everything is expanding, and you are everything. Sensed as will.

@aurum I love your post. Possibly, in a way, there is one path, it's the place we reach in meditation, the place of nothing / everything. Not sure if I would consider all the stuff we do in the world part of the 'path', but that's merely my connotation.

@Pallero Usually takes a lot of meditation to have this breakthrough. I think this will help you get it back and stay there... You are not the thinker of your thoughts. The 'thoughts' are the underlying intelligence/ fabric of consciousness. You are a point of observance in the consciousness, 'receiving' or expressing the whole. Sounds like you noticed this. To solidify your reference - hold a thought on something terrible for two minutes, notice how similar thoughts come after. Now hold a beautiful, hopeful thought, notice how similar thoughts follow. Excercise this and eventually you'll transcend thinking and be the whole fabric.

@Emre You are in one big causation. Now you know though, so you can use all of it.

@Will you took a shower

@nexusoflife now that is some good shit

@Will cancels out to be saying nothing....no?

@Joseph Maynor excercise

@Nahm you are what you think you are while you are.
