    It's very complicated.

    I don't know how anything starts at first, I guess it starts very simple like a single cancer cell, then becomes a serious cancer by time (billions of cells and connections).

    It's not like someone wakes up some morning and says: "hey, let's start a cult and become a cult leader and conquer the world."

    Every ego is capable of creating a cult, it's just a matter of luck and the accumulation of circumstances meeting their needs to create it.

    @Robi Steel

    'Brains do not exist' does not mean they're useless, or unnecessary.

    It just means they're secondary and relative to the primary and absolute.

    It means that reality is not physical or material.

    The brain is a very important tool in this relative realm (dream). It will disappear when the dream is over. So just don't mistake it for being absolute.

    I suggest you watch Leo's episode 'What is Consciousness?', many of your questions will be answered.

    Of course, direct experience is still required. Conceptual understanding is only the first step.

    @Truth Addict Eating meat is extremely egoic.

    Actually quite the opposite.

    First of all, it depends on ignoring the fact that everthing, including green trees and plants are alive. How do you know that trrees don't suffer? Why are you so sure?

    Every idea is created by the ego, including the ideas of murder and animal rights. The ego which is comfortable with not facing death, will find a way to survive by claiming that trees and plants are not alive, when if fact, they are.

    So if we're to be truly honest with ourselves, eating green is also a crime.

    By the way, people eat each other all the time in business, marketing, etc...

    But since the ego is not seeing death directly, it will just sweep it under the rug as if everything is fine.

    Basically, survival happens at the expense of others, whether they are plants, animals, or humans.

    And believe it or not, for you to survive you must have been criminal and evil your whole life.

    Otherwise, you'd be dead.

    @How to be wise @Nahm

    I live in a Muslim society, and I myself had been a Muslim for a good 5 years. Most people around me pray every single day five times at least. None of them is enlightened, not even the oldest and most wise of them, guaranteed.

    I used to do the same for 5 consecutive years. I almost never skipped a prayer back then. Only to find myself nowhere near Allah. I even used to wake myself up at 3 or 4 a.m in the cold (which I am very sensitive to, since I have some thyroid problem) just so I don't miss the prayer.

    I didn't know the essence of prayer, and I used to make it somehow imaginary, until I learned about meditation from Leo.

    So, how can someone be meditating for 30 years without getting enlightened, or at least, make some progress?

    Well, ask my parents and my "sheikh".

    Prayer in my society, is done for egoic reasons, escaping an imaginary Hell and and winning an imaginary Paradise.

    Also, it is done in a very rigid and dogmatic way, where your eyes must keep looking at the ground directly where your head touches the ground with your right hand is over the left one, and both are put on the belly, etc...

    It's also irrelevant to the practical life, so you can lie and cheat and steal, and your prayers don't have anything to do with that. It doesn't make sense to my society that their prayers should inform their behaviour. For them, it's just irrelevant. (of course, in theory they can easily write an odyssey about the benefits of prayer, which nobody really knows about).

    I am planning to return to my prayer practice when the winter is over.

    I might find something of value there, since my consciousness now has expanded more than ever.

    Do you workout?

    If not, I suggest you go everyday in the morning to a park and make a free run.

    When I was depressed, I used to do 30 mins a day. I put on my headphone, llisten to my favourite songs and just run non-stop for 30 mins (actually I started with 10 mins, and by the end I reached 30 mins). And I guarantee it. It's the best feeling in the world.

    Gradually then, you will withdraw from your depression and start feeling better.

    Also, try to look for beauty wherever you are and in every possible way. Beauty will purify your heart from depression. Listen to your heart, focus on your breath, and whatever you do in your life, just try to do it more slowly. The main causes of the problem might be hiding somewhere between the little activities you might think are okay.

    May love always lights the way for you. Best of luck.

    Yes, I do.

    Just because plants and trees don't move and scream (or at least, seem so), doesn't mean that they don't feel pain.

    An animal eating another animal is brutal, but this is life and this is survival, and don't forget that we 'human beings' are some kind of animal, so deal with it.

    If you stop eating you will die. The choice is yours.

    Notice the collective ego of vegans and so, they are tricking themselves and others with their egoic agenda, of no more suffering for animals and no more savage-like behaviours.

    Life is brutal, it's a fact, if you were not to be brutal, you would be dead by now. (everyone is brutal, not everyone knows).

    @pluto sorry I haven't seen the video yet, I'll reply when I do.

    @Preetom do you see? We've just gone meta with the illusion. It's quite interesting how God is playing and fighting and deluding Itself, playing disguise, what's the point? You might say: there's no point, it is what it is. This is not an answer to the question, it's just you stating a fact. Maybe we don't know the answer yet, therefore we cover it with some clever ways of not knowing.

    We say it is what it is when we should simply say I don't know.

    If I understand correctly, you need to learn about chakras. There's a lot there.

    For example, you can learn how to move your energy up and down the spine, and to the head.

    Basically, sexual energy can be manifested in other forms like love and care.

    Also, why try to fight the urge to be horny? Your body is not your enemy, if it wants something then it clearly needs it, and it's probably not faking it. The problem comes with egoic-mixed sexual desires.

    I think you're fine. Just stay aware.
