  1. I feel like every Creator in a certain artform has good stuff. There's some doozies in there too, of course!
  2. I wouldn't say that, necessarily, but if I met you in person my intuition would be stronger (in the sense of accuracy). Intuition runs on what information we have access to.
  3. I have a respect for feeling. It's a complex subject though. Intuition may be a form of feeling. But yeah! It's a kind of seeing.
  4. Those videos are so good! The interaction is amazing! It think they are good for understanding what is going on with neo-advaita.
  5. Watch those two videos and look at how he relishes saying no like a stubborn kid almost. It's weird once you see it.
  6. Neo-advaitans seem to be obsessed with saying no. They love that.
  7. This is a very good description of Love IMO. Realizing everyone has a different/differing Truth on some level. I know this is paradoxical -- if one is looking at things from a Truth perspective alone.
  8. I agree. In the context of health, overthinking is often the opposite of what needs to be done. It's diet, exercise, and getting off addictions. That's all action-taking and habit re-formation.
  9. This is a very fascinating statement actually.
  10. My take from reading Ramana Maharshi (mostly written not by him notably) is his primary teaching is snuffing out the I-Thought. I seriously doubt he is a solipsist. He would not attach to the mind in this way, I don't think.
  11. I didn't realize there is a Part 2. I love it.
  12. This is the ultimate neo-advaita video IMO. Hilarious.
  13. There seems to be a Purpose or we might call it a Telos that is driving toward growth and Wisdom. There's a Point to It.
  14. I'm actually not an athiest. My insight is that Truth/Reality/God whatever you want to call it is concerned with personal development, teaching, learning.
  15. @Inliytened1 Do you have a view as to whether Reality/Truth/God has a purpose and what that purpose is?
  16. This sounds like the no separate self insight.
  17. I don't think anyone enjoys being homeless. That's a little bit of a stretch IMO.
  18. Clarity tends to zero in whereas wisdom tends to zoom out IMO. They're not entirely separate paradoxically.
  19. I don't see much agreement happening between points of view on this topic.
