Revolutionary Think

Day 8: Well I decided to make a YouTube video about my life so far to remind me of what I've been through and where I'm headed. I think in most people's lives something happens to throw off their equilibrium. These things mess up their sense of what is normal and what they are used to then things can take a turn. For instance if one's family goes from being rich to being poor the young people in the family would probably not know how to cope. Sometimes when you share some of these things with some people the ignorant ones tell you to be quiet and stop complaining and that's just life. It's only really intelligent and quality people that you can trust and share these things with and their relate to you and try to help you. In fact in a more enlightened world people would most likely try to address these things and fix these things. So I'm glad to say I made a video about those moments in my life and some scumbags gave it a thumbs down. To this day I got 4 to be exact and those people who gave those thumbs down are being a veil of anonymity. It's amazing how some people open themselves up talk about what bothers them and they are not happy and instead some people put them even more down instead of helping them up. I think those people should be avoided like the plague and are lower than pond scum. Sometimes people's true colors show themselves on the internet and those colors can be extremely ugly. So anyway hopefully in an actualized community even online people are more than trolls and imbeciles to act that way. So here is the video.

I have to admit I've been one of those people who's watched the videos and hardly done the workshops. I want to open this up to people and ask what workshops they've done and how effective have they been in your life?

@MsNobody To each their own and if you feel sex is sacred that's an opinion and I can respect that. Fortunately we live (or at least I live) in a free society where just because someone feels that they like something doesn't mean they're going to shove it down someone else's throat (except for maybe the stupid public education system that's shoved down all of our throats). Anyway you worked with CAD for three years and if you don't mind me asking were you working with it for 3D printing and getting paid for it? Also what CAD software was it I'm using Fusion 360.

Look Leo if I could live in a world where we'd just eat for taste and not for survival and in a world where we didn't shit and piss I'd opt in for that world. If I had it my way I could do all sort of things like fly and transport moleculary because that would be awesome. Shitting is quite gross but, at least it goes into the toilet and not on your hands or body. If taking a shit meant that we had to touch our own shit and rub it on ourselves before we could flush it down then I really don't know I'd probably just opt for being sedated my entire life until I eventually passed away. Sex involves another body and their "business" and that to me is kind of icky. Then again I might be childish and juvenile but, Leo I remember what you said to that guy who told you if you never tried smoking and drinking how do you know you wont like it. Then you told him if he ever tried drinking his own pee how would he like that. That argument is a far too easy one to make no? If you never tried french kissing your own dog how would you know you wouldn't like it? If you never tried running naked in Antarctica in subzero temperature how would you know you wont like it etc. Think of the implications of this though. If there are tons of people like me who don't care about romance and sex think of all the other amazing things we could be spending our time and energy on. Chasing after scientific pursuits and creating really amazing art. In fact I got involved with 3D printing and I've become addicted to designing things in CAD software. I also love using my 3D pen to create things. Once I start it's very hard for me to stop.

@Markus Ya I guess as pragmatic things go nothing much. Just wanted people to know that people like us actually exist. I guess what I really wanted was a feeling of people acknowledging my position. I talked to my professor about asexuality and I said it's not like people discriminate because people are asexual it's just that people ignore them. Then my professor said well some would say ignoring people IS a form of discrimination. So I guess it's not so much the topic itself that I want feedback on but, just to make the issue visible so people know that it's a possibility and they don't jump to conclusions and make assumptions. On a separate note I feel like that Today the voices of reason and centrality are being marginalized, while the voices of others who are highly partisan and dogmatic are being amplified. Take for instance the 2016 election I was on Trumps side but, not because I like his personality or agree with everything he said. I just thought he knew a lot about business and economics and that could help the country out. Although if you say you support a person like him people are quick to jump to conclusions and call you a racist and a sexist. Well if I had another option like if I could run for President despite my age I'd most likely tell people to vote for me instead of him. Since that wasn't the case though I just thought he could do something to help the economy and job market we found ourselves in. People make assumptions and jump to conclusions instead of taking something apart piece by piece and being mindful about it.

Alright just making sure you read the entire thing before you responded. Ya thought I'm still thinking of taking Leo's life purpose course. The problem is though that I'm worried that it's not going to provide specifics for me. What I'm trying to do right now is making big on YouTube my main purpose in life was to find a way to reform the education system. The way the education system is now doesn't really teach people life skills or how to make money. Just to repeat a bunch of information because it's on a stupid test and how to forget it the next day. So I wrote an article on what I think about the whole thing. http://bakshandehariel.wixsite.com/website/single-post/2017/01/03/Execution-of-Solutions

Seriously!? @TeamBills what you asked. What I said. So shouldn't that answer your question?? Well the answer is no. Anyway if you want to learn more check this. http://www.whatisasexuality.com/intro/

Did you even listen to what I said? This isn't a problem it's an orientation. I'm asexual and have no problem with it. I just wanted to get people's philosophical insights on what they think about the way I feel. This isn't a problem to be solved. It's the way I feel and I have no problem with it.

I came across this video online and he comes up with proofs for how the Torah and Judaism are true. Anyone care to debunk this?

If someone can respond with something debunking him I'll email it to him and let's see if he stops these kinds of fear mongering productions.

What do you guys think about this? http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/timi-gustafson/bottling-up-negative-emotions_b_5056433.html

I thought you said good and evil don't exist

It's been about a week since my uncle passed away. It's true that he was a kind, friendly and generous person and I'll miss him. The thing is though there's no denying the fact that he was smoking way more than he should've been (preferably people shouldn't even smoke at all). He also liked alcohol but, he wouldn't exactly get drunk. There is a link between smoking, alcohol and cancer. Anyway in the few days that have passed we went to his "site" where he was being buried and at one moment people were "celebrating" his life by all having a "drink" not only that some people were even smoking there themselves and have continued to smoke after this happened. I kept thinking to myself exactly just how ignorant do they have to be by not taking the time to introspect on how unhealthy these habits actually are. Not only that but, increasingly the majority of people never ask themselves questions or introspect on their lives until it's too late. We are all going to Temple and reciting a whole bunch of prayers but, the majority of people will never think to themselves why am I just blindly coming here and doing these things? They just do it because they're used to it and that's what they were always doing. Tribalism in itself is a disease. Elders aren't that smart if you ask me. All the older people in my family are around the people that they are around because they come from the same culture/religion/family background. Never do they ask themselves maybe there is more to the world than just the people I'm used to being around or the things that I am doing right now. Tribalism and hive mind go hand in hand. People do things because their parents did it, their friends and family are doing it, and they're so used to it because they did it for such a long time. I on the other hand will never squander my life with tribalism and hive mind I will always question things till the very end and also take a moment for introspection. The other thing that sucks in our world are impulsive people. This is why our world is in the crappy situation that it's in. People instead of taking the time to really analyse things and taking proper action after that almost NEVER do even when you make it clear to them all they do is get angry at you. Look no further than online when you are looking for these ignorant impulsive people. They hear or read one thing and jump to conclusions in a drop of hat. Look at our Politics. I really don't understand how people can be so ignorant. I on the other hand am sick and tired of sometimes trying to make people aware of this and them not listening. While I was sitting there at the graveyard thinking to myself why these people were celebrating the same substances and doing the same habits that gave my uncle an early death I couldn't help but, think to myself no matter how old they were they were still children. I think that older people are under the illusion that they know so much more than a 5 or 6 year old but, in reality they are that same 5 or 6 year old. Stubbornness is a trait that amplifies people's link to tribalism, hive mind, and being impulsive. The worst of the worst is when these people breed and they have children or family members who go against this low consciousness stuff but, they try to suck them into the low consciousness abyss by getting frustrated why their children/family members/friends aren't more like them. I'm just wondering if anyone can relate to this. I think the best idea for me is to make friend who GET THIS. Together we can find the secrets and mysteries to life instead of living like impulsive and tribalist dummies who ruin the world with our stubbornness and refusal to self retrospect.

Well it all started for me at the gym. They were Maum/subtraction meditation people there then they talked about enlightenment like the way Leo Gura talked about it. I thought to myself wow this sounds like all the stuff I'm learning about enlightenment and meditation from Leo Gura so I trusted them. Then when I went to their facility I thought I was going to meditate with other people but, that wasn't the case. They brought me some tea and showed me a video of their main center. Then the talked about the whole point of existence is throwing away your fake picture world and becoming one with the universe. Then they asked for $150. I thought to myself the things they were saying about not existing was kinda like the same thing Leo was saying. I told them I didn't have the $150 and I could give them the $50 now and the $100 later. Then I looked them up online and saw all their negative reviews and I emailed the reviews to the center and the guy there told me that those people are angry people that really didn't "understand" the meditation. So I told him that when I reach level 2 if all that stuff that is in level one is going to be gone for good and he said yes but, I had to be diligent and come there everyday. So I came there everyday and what basically happened was really annoying. They put a black hole in front of me, told me a story about me dying and becoming a ghost then staring at that black hole and throwing away all my memories by repeating the words please truth eliminate the false. It's very hard to come up with all the images you had since childhood and throw them away. Every single time the "guide" would come in the room and ask what age I was on... then he would say OK good keep throwing away. Then when I finished all my ages they count that as one cycle and tell you to start from the beginning. All and all it was extremely boring. As diligent as I was I didn't reach level 2 and they wanted the other payment for the other month. That's when I told them if I don't feel anything I'm not paying another dime. Then I told the guide if he had rich friends in South Korea who are enlightened and went through this why they couldn't pay for my meditation because enlightened people don't exactly need riches and they can help other people out. He gave me some dumb answer of how their was no such thing as a free lunch. Whether the meditation works 100% or not I don't know but, what I do know is that all the people in the center only could talk about the meditation and had nothing else going on in their lives except the meditation. Before I meditated they always made me recite a poem. I also didn't like their secretive attitudes of not disclosing what the other levels of meditation were until you got there. I asked @Leo Gura about it and he couldn't tell me if they were 100% legit or not. @Samuel Garcia you can try it at your own discretion and they asked for way less money from you than they did of me. I on the other hand feel a bit scammed but, I'm not 100% sure because I didn't reach "level 2"

I'll settle for an Omega chimp.

@Leo Guradid you put the whole monkey labeling system into place? Don't you think a hierarchy system like this just fans the flames of the ego?

@Leo Gura said that a true hero is one who sacrifices himself and in the end does away with the illusion. So it brings me some comfort that in the end he cared for so many people and that took a toll on him. He sacrificed himself for so many people so he is a true hero. When I didn't have a car and my mom and dad were bickering about it he took initiative and thought to himself that it wasn't fair for me to take all those driving lessons, have my license, and live in a place that needed a car which I didn't have. He came with me and my mother to the dealership negotiated for the car and gave the down payment. That is a man of dignity and compassion. I just wished he took more care of his health so we could keep him longer but, then again you never know. Like you said @jimrich he's in a better place now with no more pain and suffering. May he be in bliss and peace.

Someone in my family has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and he's in the ICU right now with a machine helping him breathe. I feel sorry for him but, I know that it's not going to help him. I keep thinking to myself what was going through his mind before this happened to him and I hope he's at peace if he does pass away and doesn't come back. I kept thinking to myself what would an enlightened person do if someone he or she loved was terminally ill or they themselves were terminally ill. Would they have the mental capacity to not feel sadness? I know that torturing myself thinking about how he was such a nice person and didn't deserve it isn't going to transfer itself into helping him out yet, that's what most people do regardless. It's such a terrible position to be in really. Or maybe I should just sit with the grief and know it's OK to feel this way and when he does pass it's the ultimate liberation anyway because then as Leo said we don't exist and once we realize we don't exist we are truly liberated. I'm wondering if once people pass away they become that absolute infinity that Leo was talking about. Long time ago I myself was fighting with the fact that everybody goes one day. I keep thinking about what's waiting for me or us on the other side. Now it just got a little more personal because this family member of mine is middle aged a bit on the older side and I feel really bad for him. It makes me more self-conscious though that I shouldn't take my life for granted and live it to the fullest. Maybe life is the dream and death is finally waking up. (I've had a couple of dreams where I died and woke up after it). This family member of mine never wanted to really bother anyone with the way he was feeling. He also had a lot of pride when it came to people helping him and really wanted to fight the cancer. The chemo therapy damaged his immune system and that's what (I think) led him to the ICU. They're saying there's a chance that the machine can remove what ever it is in his lungs to help him breathe with out it but, it's unlikely. I wish there was something I can do but, I'm not a doctor or magician. I remember sending his kids a text saying that I hope he feels better and that they are like a brother and sister to me because we grew up together. I know that I'm not alone in this because even in Leo's episode where he talked about evil existing he admitted he wouldn't know how to react exactly if some loon killed his entire family. It's easy to talk about all this stuff in theory but, when it actually happens it really kind of hits you like a ton of bricks. That's why I think getting used to loneliness is so important. Anyway I just thought I'd get this off my chest into the self actualized community. I really don't know what else to say.

Day 7: So my Uncle just died 2 days ago and it seems extremely surreal. Somehow we're all under this illusion that we can take life for granted because death will never happen to us. Modern society seems like it never takes time to embrace the void... until it just comes up and takes them. Very family oriented cultures such as the one I grew up in are always looking to get together, talk, and do some kind of activity. If you're not up for that they'll sometimes want to force you into it because they're automatically under the impression that you are suffering if you aren't part of that. The education system culture is the same but, instead of leisurely activities they want you to always be keeping yourself busy. I had one teacher who told us students that she just didn't want us to "sit there and vegetate". PARTICIPATION PARTICIPATION PARTICIPATION!!! It's so important right. Well I don't remember signing up for that and I don't remember signing up for existence either it was all forced on all of us and it's also our decision if we want to force it unto others. So I engaged in a little experiment in trying to get comfortable with the "void" quite literally. Just went to bed and put my head on a pillow. I myself am an extremely light sleeper so that's why I even meditate while lying on the bed. While I was sleeping in that comfortable position I felt this state of bliss. One problem though my own mind wasn't letting me sleep that's the problem my mind most of the time doesn't let me sleep their is this constant dialogue that never shuts off. Then at that moment I was thinking that death if it finally takes away this torturous constant dialogue it's a form of peace and liberation. So as bad as I felt for my uncle at that time he was in the hospital and he was sedated I thought to myself hey I was lying my head on this pillow but, my thoughts wouldn't let me feel peace they just kept going and going and going and going. So then I thought about him in the hospital and I said he doesn't. That gave me some sense of peace. Other than that 2 weeks ago I felt great with all my printing projects and I was having so much fun. Then his situation kept getting worse and worse and I felt so bad for him. Then when he finally passed I said to myself well we all gotta confront this. No one in this world is immortal and I think his passing also acts as a wake up call. To wake up and make the most of what this thing we have called life is before it leaves us. I miss him but, I take solace in the fact he isn't suffering anymore and nothing can bother him.

Unfortunately this terminally ill family member has passed away. We are going to miss him.

@Nahm not quite sure what you mean? Proof of what? what am I experiencing that I'm repeating?

@Lynnel I get where you are coming from. Like on the plane when they tell you to put the oxygen mask on yourself in case of an emergency before you put it on anyone else. I myself though my life has changed for the better it's not perfect right now but, it is changing. I used to have a lot inner frustration and anger but, since I have started meditating and thinking about certain things it's starting to go away. I'm just wondering if the people in the Civil Rights movement like Martin Luther King had the same attitude. MLK I'm sure wasn't perfect and must've had some form of human flaws but, what if he never made his "I have a Dream" speech and fought for Civil Rights? I'm sure things would've probably gotten better eventually on the other hand though because of the actions he took he sped up the process. Also I was overweight and I went to the gym just like Leo and I lost the weight. So it all depends on how dedicated a person is into making changes in his or her life. As for the education system I'm not saying that I'll create a perfect one far from that but, I'm hoping to create a more reasonable one. As it is now it's just so wrong on so many different levels and dimensions. The most obvious one being that there is no talk about money in the education system which to me is amazingly stupid because so much of a persons life in this modern age is about how he or she can manage and maintain their personal finances. All I'm wondering is if you can read this article and tell me what you think http://bakshandehariel.wixsite.com/website/single-post/2017/01/03/Execution-of-Solutions

@Epiphany_Inspired Yes for a long time I wanted to change the system but, things like this take time you have to learn about all of its ins and outs first. I was always really bothered of how I wasn't making any progress with my main goal of reforming the education system but, now I have pushed that frustration aside. In fact I joined something called the DLA which stands for Digital Learning Academy and I started learning about 3D printing and I'm having the time of my life 3D printing things. I really like it because I get to be creative and as Leo mentioned in the video always be learning about new things and where the future is headed or you'll go extinct like the dodo. 3D printing AKA additive manufacturing is a field that's about to boom in 1 or 2 years and when it does I want to be on the cutting edge of it. Also I've gotten involved in my local government by attending a town hall meeting and talking to my congresswoman about the education system that is outdated and stuck in the past. I got a card of her district director with a phone number on it so I can contact the school board. I also made a video about what I always wanted to say about the teachers and the education system filled with logic and common sense. Although I do admit I condescend a lot
