Spirituality is being here now, becoming conscious of how good it feels to peel an onion,

Idk about you but peeling an onion makes me cry. Doesn't feel good to cry. Lol

To address the rest if your post, you just need to vent. You've said stuff like this before, I remember a few months back you and i had a talk about this. Saying how people on here need to get a life and stop just being on a forum all day and yadie yada. You have the same gripe months later. Don't you see how it's you. Your mind reliving the same story. A story you have to project unto others. The mind is very tricky, it's a projection machine. I don't see people on here complaining how they need to get off this forum, I see people on here telling other people they need to get a life and stop endlessly posting on the forum. How do you know about the 1000, posts and the endless discussions about Israel/Palestine and the nonsensical, endless Spiritual talks. You must have been present to witness all that so you're on the other end of the spectrum - not writing, but reading and focusing and observing. Flip side of the same coin. 

One doesn't realize how it's all them, one consciousness, one observer observing their own perspectives and thoughts and constructing their own Reality. You seem to think there are others doing stuff and you're on the outside witnessing others. Yes, in the relative objective sense, but it's a trick. A play of consciousness. It's all within your consciousness. You're complaining with your own mind. Your own thoughts. Nothing you're saying is apart from you. You're also fiddling with your mind, playing games and widdling your toes. The same conflicts within you, the same old grievances coming up within you. You haven't risen above them and are projecting them unto the world. Why do you care if people are wasting their lives on a forum every day and talking shit about shit. If I need help paying my rent and bills and I ask you for help because you care so much about my well-being, would you care to help then; probably not. Just like the Christian fundamentals who wants to save everybody in the after life but couldn't care less about saving people in this life.

Look at what you're doing and don't worry about others and the bullshit their doing with their lives. Be serious about yours and let people be how they choose to be unless asked for advice. If there weren't anyone on here to begin with, you wouldn't have a forum to come on to express that energy and it would be projected somewhere else. At least this is not personal and can be avoided when pleased and no one needs to login in and complain about what others are doing but instead go take care of their serious lives if so choose. Sorry to come on your journal ranting but I had to say this because the energy had to go somewhere in response to reading your rant.

@integral, well, I think people here have had those kinds of experiences at a young age. I mean, what kind of person would be interested in what he says.

I would say that he is great at understanding and explaining stuff in depth.

You have no idea what your are talking about, good luck. Ignore my posts, put me on block, whatever.

I was oversimplifying with the donkey analogy lol if you were to talk to let’s say 100 kids the ages of 13 you’ll notice some of them are far more mature than others for their age, genetics played a role as well as upbringing and other survival circumstances. It’s a mixed bag of world views and values and preferences and interests and experiences and insights.

Most people do not escape the centre pull of their culture and find themselves locked into a mediocrity paradigm for the rest of their lives.

by the time Leo was 15 he was already at the postmodernist stage of development. it’s like when you teach a child how to play piano when they’re five years old they are infinitely better than anyone who learns at a later age. deep rooted neural pathways are formed in childhood that an adult will never be able to compete with.

Most people that are locked into a mediocrity paradigm are super mesmerized by their own ego games. childhood created a very fixed ego game structure and they never learn how to play the instrument young enough so they will forever struggle with it in adulthood.

so they’re in donkey stage. but of course when life hits them hard and they’re forced to grow they will grow but they’re never gonna be as good as Frederick Chopin.

They don’t know what an ego is. Can you imagine how mind-boggling it is to live in that state.

Good point. I think the suffering I got in my childhood influenced my development. We should never underestimate upbringing+genetics. But there are cases like Eckhart Tolle where 20s life suffering melted the ego and trasformed the worm into a butterfly.
