Yes this started happening to me this spring and I was NOT ready. Enlightenment is all fun and games untill you're actually dying for real. So yeah, I got the whole package: feeling like you're going to disappear forever, like reality isn't real, like time doesn't exist, like you're totally alone, and you're totally out of control. Now what I did is I basically fought back like a moron (trying to hold on for dear life, grasping and contracting myself back into a lesser human form), and now it has calmed down, but man I feel like 10% of the man I was. When I try to deny it too much, it draws me back in. It's inevitable, this thing, that I have to accept it, but right now, no, no no no.

Not a bigger meme than how to make your self-actualized witch girlfriend squirt.

@Winny Yes you are on the right track. When you ask the question and nothing happens, you're not doing anything wrong. You're not necessarily looking for an answer given to you through a thought. You "are" what you "feel" is true for you in that moment. You know what you are without even thinking about it. The next step could be to find what is the thing that cannot be removed from yourself in this moment, or what has remained constant and unchanged through your entire waking life. What has always been present in your experience in the same condition since the day you were born? Or even better, what existed for you before you were born, or before the universe existed?

If you are God, why are you asking yourself for validation?

He has given many weird reasons for why he made those videos. Regardless, I'm still waiting in anticipation for when he gets more realistic.

There is only one infinite creation and that is God.

The fear arises from holding on to ideas about yourself.

If you want to use my life as a model, then the most conscious way would be not to use it

Good for you.

Of course I got the joke, and I'm not really talking about this video. I'm talking about him in general. His whole mission of livestreaming himself fasting for 40 days and speaking about enlightenment to a chat full of trolls is just an exercise in futility really. In my opinion, he hasn't shown much evidence of having a deep understanding of how different people are at different stages of development and don't just accept any worldview no matter how good you think you are at explaining it to them. The deleted videos of him trying to teach everyone from his parents to his manager about his insights is a perfect example of that.

I think his content will be quite interesting once he realizes how most people don't really care about non-duality and he drops the evangelism. Right now it's just surface level and annoying.

What is the point of dancing?

I just picked on you to see how you would respond to tasting your own medicine

@Someone here Bro ngl you have a tendency to derail a lot of topics by picking on people's insecurities. Just an observation

Sounds a bit like this talk.

Leo's apology seems to tie into a bigger picture which I agree with. Then again, people handle jokes differently. Whether or not you want to modify your behaviour to accommodate every type of person on a forum is up to you. I also don't know if I personally would make such a joke. I just happened to laugh at the joke .

I kinda realized this. I'm a moron and I don't want to die (yet).

I think people who feel persecuted have a hard time dealing with humor in general. If you're used to people being an asshole towards you, and then when somebody makes a joke pretending to be that asshole, I can understand why it could feel bad for that person. Then again, humor is a very complex phenomena. Sometimes you can start laughing exactly because of how insanely fucked up something is. One shouldn't equate laughter with endorsing what is being laughed about.

Sorry, but no. I don't agree with such a simplistic view of humor. I found it funny exactly because I DO value women, and seeing those words coming from somebody who I believe also respects women is the very reason why it's funny. It's unexpected, it's comedic. If it came out of the mouth of some conservative lunatic, then I would probably not find it funny, atleast not for the same reason.

They should add another dimension called "averse to ambivalent phrasing of questions"
