Why not hitting up one of the companies, communicating them your enthusiasm and asking them if you can get there for free, to have a few months of practice. After that, they may employee you full-time, or at least you have more rich CV with actual work-place experience..

Hello, I got interested in Derrida's deconstruction and watched Leo's video on it with a nice explanation and in the end of the video he pointed out David Loy's take to clarify why deconstruction is logocentric and how it all ties to non-duality. http://enlight.lib.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-ENG/loy10.htm This is the link of the text. My problem is that the text is too hard for me to grasp. There are a lot of fancy words I can't figure out and explanations are so extensive and complicated. I wonder why can't some text be simplified to plain language like Leo uses to describe us things. I don't wanna blame anybody, I just don't understand. Also, how can I gradually improve my ability to read these kinds of texts so that I'm able to understand them easier? Is it just the problem of vocabulary, or I need to adapt myself to the style of philosophical writing? Also, English is not my native language, so maybe that answers the problem, but I can read most of the other genre's in English. Please help! Thanks..

I have an amazing girlfriend and I don't own a car, didn't have a job when I found her, don't have my own apartment, in fact I live at her place with her parents right now, I don't have a degree nor plan to finish college any time soon, I don't drink alcohol, I don't have ex girlfriend, I'm introverted quite a bit. Wtf are you talking about can I ask? Where did you pick up a belief that you have to own all these things to get a girlfriend?

This!

Could you expand on that please?

I was reading a book a moment ago, "The Five Love Languages", and I came across a sentence. I thought to myself, would Leo from actualized approve of this sentance, or is this materialist-paradigm. Here's the sentence: "Of the five senses, touching, unlike the other four, is not limited to one localized area of the body. Tiny tactile receptors are located throughout the body. When those receptors are touched or pressed, nerves carry impulses to the brain. The brain interprets these impulses and we perceive that the thing that touched us is warm or cold, hard or soft. It causes pain or pleasure. We may also interpret it as loving or hostile. " If he wouldn't, or any of you wouldn't, what's the alternative to this description?

Beautiful, but what's turqoise about it?

I think this is really good content. Do you think this guy has passed green?

It's not because depending on someone means you're believing in what they say but you don't actually percieve/figure it out by yourself. It's like believing that 2+2 equals four and actually understanding why..

Yeah, something like that. I'm not denying that I need to learn here and they already know all the stuff that I know and believe in.. I just want to "get" their knowledge of what they know, which Leo seems to suggest can only be gained through personal experience with enlightenment, because words are only pointers for the things you already know of. Thus you can't describe what red looks like to a blind person. He never saw it to begin with!

Got it, thank you!

I will know the answer to every single question I posted? I will know it's all true and I'll see how, which I probably won't be able to speak through because the Thruth is beyond words, concepts and thoughts? The only thing the Thruth can lie in than is experience itself. Is experience itself the Thruth?

What form was I in when I created the entire universe? Was I consciousness, just as I am now? How did you find out you and I created a universe? Why would we want to hide that fact from ourselves? If everything's as it should be, do I have the ability to change my future, or it will play out certainly in ONE possible way, independent of my "effort"?

Thanks, I've heard of this book. Is this the whole book? I've seen some have 120 or 200 pages..

I think the part that Violinpracticerdude doesn't exist, nor me for that matter is: How can you know that this is true? How can you know that terrorists should exist, that it's "intended". How do you know that everything is as it should be? How do you know that universe is conscious? How do you know that there is infinite intelligence? How can you be absolutely sure of anything? Maybe the answer lies in me having to go and have a lot of contemplative experience to really get this, and I probably will, but you know I kind of need something in return. How can I know that what I'm going to figure out is real and Truth?

Hey, I'm trying to understand your perspective and I also think that evil and good don't exist, it's an invention that serves us in some way. For example, we think that every human has a right to live because you would not like for someone to kill you and thus we look at killing as evil. However, if you were in a Spartan tribe and you would have to take care of one extra kid that wouldn't serve the military but just waste the resources, you would want to kill it, it's not serving you. I don't think we should kill anybody but I'm arguing only that good and bad don't exist in the "objective" sense. Now what I wanted to ask you is why do you think that label of evil is ONLY a big ego trap that wants to demonize and judge. If we never shamed and punished people that do "bad" stuff, there would be no grounds on which we would build a society that doesn't have right to kill people. Do you think that this does nothing? How can you know it does nothing? If someone was regularly punching your kid in the face, what's the alternative approach apart from distancing the kid and threatening him? Thanks. Also here I'm confused. Are you suggesting that since there could be no other way that we're just witnesses here, unable to make any impact on anything? We're victims of infinity?

Have you watched some of his other videos and seen his work? I think he's yellow but aiming at orange audience to deliver this to a wider audience, no?

Is this self-actualization work, self-inquiry, trying to percieve the perciever, direct consciousness work, is this merely a next attempt to try to fill your void inside? Are you running away from feeling shitty, or are you diving into WHY you're assuming such a thing in the first place? I'm not accusing, I'm just asking to see your perspective because it popped into my mind while watching this video that this may be another chase, a deeper and more mystical one though.. Also, what do you think his stage is on spiral dynamics model? Green? Turqoise? Would love to hear your thoughts, especially Leo's.

Care to elaborate as to why you think he's orange?

How do you make sure that you do it correctly?

Is this what you're talking about?

I think this is turqoise:

Man is actually pretty loose and likes to have fun. He doesn't own 23 Parches that he doesn't even have the time to ride. He still seperates his time from work very well and just wants amazon more accessible to everyone.

I'm updating. He's above green.
