You guys are unbelievable! We're on a different page, no way to relate

Respect Never failed? Not even once? Where did you get all that willpower!?!?

You don't know the beggining of the universe so any assumption could be wrong and any theory based on wrong assumption could be proven right. So no one can ever say either way, it just doesn't work that way

Since you know it, did you do it?

@Igor82 have you heard of No Nut November? Was it actually a thing or just a stupid meme challenge on the internet!?

@Marcell Kovacs tell that to your brain! it's the brain's responsibility

@Arhattobe @Akuma I understand what you're saying but currently, I'm concerned with a different thing. Thing is whether it's enlightened monks or western scientists they are all very confused about this question and the answers are so dissatisfying but the way Leo puts it it's makes so much sense with no more questions left really so this idea generally is so advanced and it's very intriguing how he came to that. I know the mind can't ever grasp that because of reality's innate paradoxes and all but it still makes sense you see

that's all Leo does on camera anyway so it becomes a part of it whether you want it or not

Fill in the blank based on your encounter with life so far Or post quotes of other people. Life is so strange that as soon as you think you've gone deep in knowing what life is, all the sudden you have to start from scratch.

That's exactly the thing. If we took AI all the way to the point where no one needed to go to work which is exactly what's happening, then how would our lives look like?

@Ampresus if you want to treat Sufism like another religion then it's a waste of time. Get beyond all that then maybe take a look at Sufism too. I have always read rumi in its main language but never understood what he was actually talking about. But after I had done a bit of meditation and self inquiry which I learned from Leo, I read Rumi's poems again and all the sudden it got so clear what he's trying to say so my point here is if you want to learn about enlightenment learn it from people teaching it in the present era otherwise it's not gonna be relatable or helpful in any way. The English translation is actually not that bad since it's a word by word translation but it doesn't make much sense when you read it. It makes way more sense in Persian.

@Deutsche22 im sorry to hear that. All you need is the knowledge that it will pass, after a year or two the intensity Will fade away. Just give yourself time and feel through the emotions and you will automatically get past it. It's just a phase.

@Chris White wow. Thanks so much for sharing this

Nah... your journal just doesn't really register in my mind you know. the other thing which is super funny is how you have a plumber problem for four damn days. don't get me wrong though, it's just weird overall. your honesty affirmations are working obviously so good job on that

i think i got it. you wanna meditate for two hours a day but can't do it in one sit so you split it up in the day. is that it

I don't mean it in a bad way but like why would you meditate that many times a day?

your life is so baffling

The general trends though say sth different. Look at the worldwide statistics and compare the numbers, sure there are and always have been those few individuals and I know a lot of them but the general trends are different. And the fact that some powerful women are out there just shows the point that it's not women who can't or are not willing to do those things but that they've been held back throughout history and only now for a couple hundred years are women becoming more freed up and even that is not a full transformation because it's happened only in western countries and yet most of the earth's population lives in the east and the tragedy is still in play. I'm not talking about myself just the overall view of how things are in the world.

For the same exact reason that men are always the ones who are in the top ten in any given area of life I don't know why but seems like that all women have ever done since the beginning of time has been to give birth to men who will be in the top ten It's just nature. Can't deny the facts I read a news a while back saying there was a court argument about weather women should be allowed in ashrams in India or not. So that tells you a lot. Women have even been denied the practice of spirituality so how can there even be a serious female mystic out there if no one's gonna listen to them. That's been the case for most of history that even if women did have anything better to offer no one would listen so why bother

1. Feel good however that may have to happen 2. Understand the truth behind the world 3. Be someone like Hitler I've recently realized that Hitler was an INFJ(The Counselor!!!) So was Bin laden!! That's also my type and it's so confusing

@B_Naz not worth your time at all. It keeps repeating the same thing over and over again but there are actually quite a lot of interesting insights in there if you look at it from a spiritual point of view. Matter of fact, Now that I think about it though, it is worth your time but you don't need to learn arabic, the translation will be more than enough to convay the main message.

I Was thinking about how things could be different if science actually questioned its existing paradigms and went post-materialist. and all I can think of is that nothing would actually change cause if science accepted that, for example, reality is made of consciousness then what could it possibly do with that understanding? To generate the practical results which science is generating now, scientists have to do science the way they already do because science is more about discovering those relative truths and facts about reality which are more practical and can't really do much with absolute truths. There are very real limitations with understating the world with the mind using thinking so if scientists accepted that and wanted to act accordingly they would all have to just go through their own inner journies of finding the absolute truth which would be the same thing happening now. Yes maybe our understanding of the world would be changed but the way science has to operate to produce practical results can never change. Basically what I'm trying to say is that science and none-materialism cannot go together. because nothing can really change about the way scientist do science even if their assumptions about reality changed. we would still need to operate in a relative reality and absolute truth cannot really help. maybe that's how I think because I never had any enlightenment experiences so for those of you who are more experienced, what is your thought on this?

It's interesting to think about . What I've noticed is that when completely present in the moment everything tends to deconstruct and fade away right before your eyes but when thinking it's the exact opposite so you have to constantly feed into your conceptual constructions so I don't see how they can be integrated in a convential manner but perhaps the insights coming from those two sources can be put together after the fact but then again the putting together of insights will happen through only one medium so again it wouldn't really be integrated. Now that I'm thinking about this whole thing a bit deeper, it seems a way trickier question than it seems. About intuition, I suppose it can happen in various ways like for example when you're totally conscious with no thoughts and also when you're thinking about a diverse set of ideas simultaneously and then a connection pops out of nowhere. But generally it's more complicated than that cause for example when you're doing math you're supposedly doing sth rational but in the very process of coming up with a smart way to solve it, you're not really gonna be having any clear line of thoughts, are you? So even the essence of rationality is based on sth not so clear. This whole thing is very mysterious isn't it? (The conclusion I came to at this point is: I don't know shit ) What's your understanding on this? Now I'm really curious to know This brings me to what Sadghuru once said: if you pay enough attention to anything you will realize you don't really know it. So true

From my understanding here's how it goes: When you are thinking you are inevitably turning away from post- rational. The only way to go post-rational is to realize the limits of language and therefore thought and step into the stillness of mind without any thinking at all. Now the investigation of your experience with a mind without thoughts is also by definition science ( investigation into nature of things with an objective point of view) So basically doing science can be done in two ways : 1.through thinking 2. Through direct experience. Now the results of the insights from your stilled mind can contribute a lot to the results of your science done with rationality.

aren't there any institutions out there that you could do free research with?
