Wut

I was about to say it looks like Leo but I'm the one with the brownish beard and nearly bald so it's a toss up.

The few people I consider enlightened tend to talk about very specific points where everything is let go of and where "there is no me" anymore. None of them happen to be currently posting AMAs on this forum, currently in their early 20s, or posting about other people being "NPCs".

Is this emotion I'm registering? 🤔

Alien Dickenlargement™ is what I'm waiting for.

Actually I'm 7ft4 tall and my dick is 128 inches long.

I'm a 5ft11 nearly bald guy dreaming up a 6ft bald guy dreaming up mice, telling the 5ft11 nearly bald guy that the mice are absolute truth, when the 5ft11 nearly bald guy thinks that mice are relative manifestations inside the dream of the 6ft bald guy, not absolute truth, any more than the dream of the 6ft bald guy being in the configuation of no mice manifesting being absolute truth. I'm actually 5ft10.5 but it's mathematically sound to round up 0.5 to 1. And isn't the bald guy 6ft2-3?

Depends on the type of bipolar. A bipolar type 1 person is essentially a schizotypal person with OCD tendencies that goes through boom-and-bust cycles of obsessive highs-and-lows due to low stress tolerance / emotional regulation problems. The psychotic symptoms in the manic state is essentially the schizotypal traits thrown into a higher energy environment. Mania is like if you have a problem/obsession and you can't seem to calm down or find a solution or change your focus/perspective/strategy so you just spiral into a hyper-charged state of elevated energy/stress. And after that, they experience a downregulation of their state as their obsession/problem diminishes or they find a way to regulate their emotions (or whatever cause of stress diminishes). When they're not stressed/elevated, they're still a little eccentric. See Connor's "Mandibleus Zygomidus" video. When you dial down the schizotypalness, you get bipolar type 2 (mania without psychotic symptoms). When you dial up the schizotypalness even more, you get schizoaffective disorder. When you keep the schizotypalness high but dial down the obsessive traits, you get schizophrenia.

I bet half a non-dual backflipping mouse that this is incorrect.

Sri Tortellini alla bolognese. (Aummmm)Yummmm.

Niagaradastii -> Nisargadatta. Not even close. Why should we take anything you say seriously if you can't even put 3 seconds of care into getting somebody's name right in the title of your thread?

Why Messi is Messi is a confluence of especially two things: high IQ meaning pattern recognition and high processing speed, and short legs that are quickly maneuverable. Together, they create a person who can create the lines that seem impossible, because he has the IQ to process them and the speed/maneuverability to perform them.

It seems to me you may have experienced an awakening and that there is more to go for enlightenment. How long was this entire process? Do you meditate at all? Regularly?

Don't want to become a liberal use case of the ban button?

Why did you de-mod yourself?

So it's not constant? Which attachments were one of the last ones you had to let go of? Is your sense of self completely dissolved? Does it fluctuate throughout the day? What is the state of your ego identification?

How is the state of non-doership? Experience of time. Experience of thoughts (are they active when at rest, are you thinking about stuff when at rest, and if so, what are you thinking about?). Was there a process of letting go of attachments, of shedding identification? Was there a point of dissolution of self and/or cessation of sensory phenomena? How would you describe your experience of objects in your visual sensory field before and after the enlightenment?

I mean, you can dissuade them if you don't want them to commit suicide. But pointing to very general and abstract individual beliefs they hold to explain their proximity to suicide is a game of statistical whack-a-mole. Is the belief in an afterlife causing suicides? What about the belief that nothing happens after you die and it's just a blank nothingness? What about reincarnation? What about "everything is love"?

It's the exact opposite. Lying to them and saying "no no no, life is not a dream in any way, forget about it" is not meeting them where they are at.

If you actually read what Nahm wrote to SoonHei in the quoted PMs, he pointed to the idea that you can't really use "life is a dream" to conclude that taking your life is a preferable action over simply honoring life, and that acting in such a way would be based on a misunderstanding. And remember, people in the "Leo runs a cult" videos want to draw the same connection that you're doing now, that even engaging on the idea that "life is a dream" is already too far and is causing suicides. It seemingly doesn't help to actively dissuade someone against suicide without simultaneously lying that "no in fact, life cannot be said to be a dream in any way, forget that you ever thought that, forget that we ever said that".

They could be at the right moment in their life where they are open to a non-dual epiphany and whatever they seem to be doing in their life doesn't really seem to be making them feel fulfilled anyway and they make that connection. The transition to non-duality is always in a sense orthogonal, so throwing it at almost all and any situation could be warranted based on that point alone. I discovered non-duality when I was extremely dysfunctional and you would've probably argued I needed some kind of standard psychological intervention/teaching instead (and I was actually looking in that direction prior to that), but that didn't seem to change the fact that my life became quite different after that point.

Sometimes the best advice is the one you didn't think that you needed Again, you're assuming a lot about each individual situation. Non-duality can be quite helpful. Or else he probably wouldn't have spammed it at seemingly every opportunity he could. I personally like to pretend that entertaining people's delusions about them asking the correct questions that deserve an answer is a worthwhile game to play most of the time. But some don't.

Haha woah 🫨
