@Faceless two sides of the same coin are opposite of each other

There was no problem until you created it in your mind

Here is my FB status from today which I wish to share after realizing it is impossible to be "selfless." The most delusional thing a person can ever claim is that are "selfless." Any act that you do, is in fact, selfish. You cannot operate outside of the "self". This is like a turtle claiming he is turtleless. Should you claim your acts are for the sake of "others" or a "good cause"; that you are apparently sacrificing yourself for something higher than yourself, is also selfish for the simple fact that you take it upon yourself to do such a thing for either it makes you feel good, or is a silly attempt to an undo an action you found to be "selfish" for moral reasons; which in of itself is an attempt to cleanse yourself from any wrongdoings, for the reasons of bettering yourself, or humanity, which improves your chances, or the chances of others' survival. Still selfish. The more I explore the realm of thought and spirituality; specifically, piercing through the ego, I realize just how deluded we are, as humans, and how much full of shit we have become; so much so, that we will deny this very fact to those who are also full of shit; creating elaborate justifications for our positions or beliefs that we know for a fact are unknowable and impossible to prove. The most foolish of all types of people are those who believe they know anything for certain and that they cannot be fooled; those who literally think they have achieved any form of mastery or understanding of this reality or life itself; who dare claim to call themselves to be saints, popes, masters, gurus or teachers or whatever title; who insanely claim to know God; to prance around the Earth with their "should-bes" and "moral codes"; claiming they know the way or are doing the work of God. Imagine how deluded even Mother Theresa had to have been to claim she was doing work for others, on behalf of God. What arrogance is this? How an a person ever claim such insanity while she is commanded by her church and by other self-appointed authority figures; humans who claim they know what they are doing. All of their beliefs are assumptions and interpretations to justify their silly opinions and beliefs that cannot be proven to exist from any standpoint other than their own biased perspective; claiming that just because there are billions of fools like themselves, that it must be true... Yet they fail to see that they cannot ever see the world or reality from any other perspective other than their own, which can never be the whole truth for it is only a fraction of the infinite possibility and will always biased from their point. Any man who claims to be an authority is a fraud. Anyone who bows before another man is a slave. Anyone fearful of the thoughts of others is a coward, yet people once again prance around deluded claiming otherwise; slaves who claim they are here to help others who are enslaved by being selfless, which is clearly impossible. Why go through all this self deception? Well, it is so much simpler than taking full responsibility; to be humble enough to claim we know nothing, and this is why we are in the world we are in today, because we have the audacity to believe that we are not deluded and are not always acting on behalf of ourselves.

Well my point is that people believe that being selfish is evil or wrong, when in fact, it is the only thing we can ever be. There is not one thing anyone can name that doesn't come back to themselves doing it for a reason driven by their ego/self for selfish reasons. Even the argument "It's just in my nature" which is something I would say, is selfish.

@Leo Gura Yes but I was just trolling though haha. And yes, I do tend to notice all these silly things. But I do not believe Lucifer is bad, even though it is all a made up fairy tale.

I don't see why there is a lot of "hate" on this. It takes a lot of balls to take DMT or whatever Leo took and be this authentic on camera. There is nothing weird about what he did. Of course in our "ego" states this is "crazy"; especially to someone who has no clue wtf this path is, but we should know better. In fact, I would assume 99% of you have taken psychedelics and wouldn't dare record yourselves in fear of being judged. So for those of you hating or thinking this was a stupid thing to do, dont' be so hypocritical.

@snowleopard The gods of the Abrahamic faiths are just man-made nonsense to enslave people. I agree that the only logical intrepreation of the fake fairy-tales is that Lucifer is simply the one created to give man knowledge, otherwise, how would the God of the Abrahamic faith's sick plan happen? The Abrahamic god is not God, but some made up entity that has human personality traits such as anger, jealousy, etc...(I wonder why lol)

@Omni lol i noticed too, but I'm just trolling though. I think those spirals represent infinite regress which is the symbol Leo chose for his actualized logo?

Anyone else notice this @Leo Gura is Lucifer trying to give you info lol.

Sure it's legal. I bought it and since it is mine, I am sharing it with everyone else. I'm not selling it.

I believe @Leo Gura was also INTP

I just retook this test and I got a different answer. For years I would always get INTJ, but just now, after ensuring I was being totally honest and answering the questions as I am now, and not how my mind projects I could/would/should be, I got INTP. Although INTJ did seem to have explained my personality quite well, INTP does it way better. However, I am a firm believer that not test can literally explain away such complex beings such as ourselves, it is interesting how these tests do seem to have the major patterns we act out most of the time.

There's plenty of free content online. Read it. Find which style suits your actual personality. Then go out and try it. Get rejected several times. Get used to rejection. Don't care about rejection or validation from women and you'll start having fun and the nights will flow better. I wouldn't go spend thousands on a coach. I taught even thought I was ok with women, I wanted to learn how to get the exact ones I wanted. I've read several books and watch tons of online content, but two books I recommend are The Venusian Arts Handbook by Mystery and The Bad Boy Lifestyle, by Bad Boy. Mystery is this tall ass nerd who just went around getting rejecting and learning from his mistakes until he put his own system together. I'm sure he read books on human courtship and he translated that into PUA material. The Venusian Arts handbook by Mystery breaks it down amazingly; you'll understand how women think and how courtship works in the animal kingdom which also applies to us. It will teach you about the game, and he approaches it in a scientific way, but the problem is you will then look at women as "targets" and think robotically. His idea is basically fake-it until you make-it. Bad Boy was a Croatian war veteran so he was more appealing to me, as his "game" was mostly focused on body language which is 97% of our communication and is way more effective then retarded shit these other people teach. All these other coaches are teach you gimmicks and canned openers, which if you're nervous could help you break the ice, but if you have bad body language, you're fucked regardless. David DeAngelo is another good one who has a ton of free video content online; his basic idea is be cocky and funny, which fits exactly with my true personality. My issue with women was my whole life I was programmed to put women on a pedestal. I had no problem making new guy friends as I was always busting their balls and making them laugh... Cocky/Funny was the real me, and I wasn't being that way with women; I was being "fake mr. nice guy." So all this PUA stuff is basically the science of human communication that they broke down and turned into courtship material. The issue is, people get obsessed with the material and more upset when shit fails. I've seen guys on forums report in with "field reports" like it was some kind of military campaign. You have to avoid this kind of thinking which you'll get sucked into because the ego will want to add more women under your belt and each interaction will be more pressure than necessary. Then you will also become ashamed of yourself knowing how to manipulate people with fake gimmicks so I would avoid using that shit and make up my own openers when I had to break the ice. In the end, you just have to be your TRUE self and simply no longer give a fuck what woman think of you. Even if you're the greatest PUA on earth, you can still be rejected. Many of these PUAs are frauds and stage pick ups in front of their students or pay women to hang out at the seminars. To summarize, treat women just like you' treat your guy friends; be playful, and funny...no human wouldn't be attracted to that. But if you're creep that looks desperate for validation and NEEDS to get laid, the opposite will happen.

PRIMO water https://primowater.com/ you can find them at Walmart and other stores Has no fluoride and actually tastes fresh. You'll need to get a water dispenser of course. These filters and other things are not powerful enough to remove fluoride and all the other shit in the drinking supply.

@Leo Gura Just give everyone rank of God and distribute your company's income equally among us if we want to go into communism over feelings I say leave it how it is because the criticism of your own forum is untenable and whether these things exist or not will not remove egotism from the forum. Anyone who takes this shit too seriously clearly needs to reevaluate themselves and if they are losing sleep at night because they are a spider monkey, well then they know they clearly have more work to to LOL.

I know that many of you here, or all of you here, believe that there is no free will. This is one subject I tend to disagree with the teachings here completely. The argument is if we remove the 'self' there is nothing but the Absolute Infinity and free will is just an illusion; since we ourselves are an illusion. But I don't believe this to be. If the Absolute Infinity contains ALL possibilities, then free will and non-free will must both exist in it. So of course, when you trip on DMT, your ego is stripped of you and now you seem to have no will at all as you're flying along out of your control and are at the mercy of your trip. Yet, there are times in trips where you choose to explore your trip even without your ego intact. But when we return back into the Matrix; back into the world of the ego, we seem to have free will, or at least it does. Now here's why I believe we do: Although we do not have any control of our thoughts as they come in; we do have the ability to silence them, change them, ignore them; as they are input from the external world, ideas that come in an out, past experiences, and so fourth. So not only do we have the abilities I stated in the former sentence, we ALSO have the ability to NOT act upon these thoughts. In other words, our free will is to NOT do something we are compelled or urged to do in our human form; which is why I believe free will is divine. An example would be: Why is it that if I had a thought of driving someone off the road for cutting me off, I had somehow "decided" not to do that? If I had no free will, and my chemistry got fired up with anger enough to think about driving someone off the road, why didn't I do it? You can say consequences of going to jail or whatever else, yet there are people who do choose to do it regardless of consequences and kill people. Are we supposed to believe that since the beginning of the universe, this person was meant to kill that other person with their car? I look at free will like a poker game: You have no control over the cards you are dealt, but you do have control of how you play those cards, regardless how shitty those cards may be or how great they may be. In this way, both determinism and free will exist simultaneously because I cannot play a certain hand if I do not get dealt the exact cards to play that hand; however, I can bluff and PRETEND I have that hand and convince everyone else I do, until they fold. Or, I can fold my hand knowing that I have a weak hand, and decide not to bluff. So in other words, I believe our "will" is constrained to choose within certain scenarios; so it is not totally free, but 50% free; which is why our decisions are ultimately either yes or no. Furthermore, I believe that we have the ability to negate impulses; such as wanting to drive someone off the road. Also, if there is no free will at all, how can anyone decide to change their minds on anything? There have been experiments claiming to have proven we do not have free will by showing we have brain activity already selecting the course of actions we end up taking, but these experiments do not actually prove we don't. Ultimately no one knows, but to simply say " we have no free will because we trip" is to say " we have no lungs" because the kind of trips I went on, I had no body at all lol. I find this article interesting if you care to read it. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/consciousness-self-organization-and-neuroscience/201612/does-free-will-exist

@Cepzeu Well I certainly have "changed" a lot because of my recent exposure to this place and Leo's videos, but also my own experiences and things before this. But take for example someone like Eckhart Tolle who will meditate for hours during the day. Why? Why escape this place? i find this zen stuff a great tool to bring understanding to oneself and an inner peace; not to ESCAPE this world, but to work to better it. Because this is the place we always come back to; even the most so-called enlightened still come back; eat, take a shit, sleep, etc...they just have a more positive attitude or perspective, but none of the laws of physics has changed in their favor and they will still suffer at times.

@SOUL See, I don't know everything but you get what I was saying.

@Cepzeu Yes I have said that lol. When i gave my example of two states where we have ZERO free will: When we reach the "oneness" state where the self melts away; obviously you cannot have free will there, if you absorb everything and become everything, your will is gone. Also your trips you may not have any control over or free will; or dreams as well. You also have no will; nor even awareness of existence at all, when you're under anesthesia during surgery. If I used this as my reason to say free will doesn't exist, because I've been in that state of literally nothingness at all, wouldn't that be silly. Because then I could argue like a materialist that "see my brain was off therefore there is nothing outside of my brain and there is no afterlife or any metaphysical reality" However, in this "shared reality" we do have free will, because it is in the middle of both states; our "self" is in tact, we experience reality in this consistent form. Notice, no matter what state you may achieve, you ALWAYS return to this state and form of existence. Why is this so if the "oneness" state is the true state? Why can we just be there forever? That is why we cannot say because I reached X state and "saw for myself" therefore free will is an illusion. I could easily argue that it is an illusion that the self melted away during the trips on drugs or self-hypnosis during meditation.

@Cepzeu Yes its ok to disagree, but understand that I have achieved those states where I had "no free will" and my point is, those are states which cause that experience to seem that way; similar to if I told you to sit down until you legs went numb, to prove you have no feeling in your legs and all feelings are illusions simply because they went numb doing a specific thing. I believe there are many states in which have or don't have free will. Being blacked-out drunk is one in which we have no free will and those 37 trillion cells are running amuk without the CEO preventing any stupid behavior. And of course this free will isn't about having zero causes from the past or whatever; it is limited, but not totally dependent on those limitations. That's just my take on it.

@Cepzeu Your urges, desires, thoughts, etc... I will GIVE you all of them as 'not yours' most likely stemming from your subconscious and influenced by your past, the current situation, and choices in front of you, yet who finally decides if they are acted upon or what choice is made? How can 37 trillion cells all decide via chemistry; this 37 trillion celluar organization forms like Voltron and creates a being. And who controls this being? The perceiver. Now this is where I disagree with Leo in his video against free will.. I believe there IS a CEO, and no its not the brain, not even the mind; because the mind can be perceived lol... The perceiver is beyond BOTH, the real you who does call the shots. Take for example the experiment which claims that a person has already decided which button to press before they do it. I would like this experiment to explain how someone who decides to punch someone, stops mid way and doesn't do it... If the experiments had any truth to them, that our actions are predetermined before they reach us, then that would mean my body would have to be able to predict the future and know that I do not want to punch the person in the face midway of doing so, in order to reverse the predetermined command of "punch the person in the face". Do you understand this issue? This is a fatal issue with this idea that things are predetermined.

@Cepzeu And yet all these trillions of cells move where i want, eat what I want and focus on what I want. Why would my kidney want to play guitar? Even the argument of me being a chemical slushy, doesn't mean that I am not a unified organism that has the ability to make choices which; hell, even can be "voted" on by my body if you want, but comes to me, the perceiver, to make the final call, because I am who is the existing phenomenon that has acquired all these cells; the life force that is holding this all together.

@Cepzeu The only way this is happening is by use choosing to make them mean different things at different times @SOUL what I mean is that someone who is allowing their repitlian brain run the show rather than their frontal cortex I would consider one who is unaware and has no free will during, lets say, a spurt of anger... However, that person decided to get into the situations in which such reptilian behavior could be activated.

@sgn Its not FREE from influence, nor is it totally bounded by influence... it happens within the moment

@Nahm I'm saying we evolved from whatever form we were until we became conscious with an ego; which I mean to say that our brains were given this survival software that allowed us to analyze and make sense of our environment, think in abstracts, reflect, and all that, which no other species can clearly do. So what purpose was this ego if not to give us the ability how to choose to navigate this world? Of course when you remove the ego/self you will seem that you have no free will...which is the fallacy in the belief of no free will at all.
