Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights
Miscellaneous bits of wisdom and resources on personal development, life purpose, philosophy, epistemology, nonduality, psychedelics, etc. Published randomly throughout the week.
- penetrating mental vision or discernment.
- the sudden act of grasping the inner nature or truth of a situation.
- a deep understanding of a person or thing.
Insights here are meant to be quick and half-baked. Consider these food for thought.
I've deliberately disabled comments to keep the blog streamlined. If you want to discuss any of the blog posts, you can do so here: Actualized.org Forum
Note: Do not strawman what I said. Genocide is a crime. I do not condone crime and I support international law.
This is scientific nonsense:

It is unscientific to claim that science does not need metaphysics and that metaphysics cannot be solved. Of course metaphysics can be done and can be solved.
What scientific studies prove that metaphysics is useless and impossible? None.
What scientific studies prove that science can be separated from metaphysics? None.
What scientific studies prove that science is superior to metaphysics? None.
What scientific studies prove that metaphysics is unscientific? None.
The absurd irony is that every negative thing scientists says about metaphysics is just their own unscientific opinions and dogmas, unsupported by experiment, studies, or research. It is just bullshit masquerading as science.
Whether or not metaphysics is doable is an empirical question. You can't know until you do it. But scientists refuse to do it because they assume it cannot be done. But if you think you can't, you've already failed.
No amount of fancy scientific experiments can solve metaphysics because metaphysics requires personal contemplation and recognition. No scientific apparatus can tell you what Being is, because Being is You.
The real reason why scientists don't do metaphysics is because if they solved metaphysics they would realize that science is not ultimately true, which is too painful for them to admit. Solving metaphysics would mean having to admit that there exists something beyond physics and beyond science. Solving metaphysics is the death of science. Scientists don't do metaphysics because that is their suicide. Scientists don't do metaphysics because they are doing survival. Scientists do not understand that science is survival.
If science did metaphysics it would discover God. But that is completely unacceptable because God cannot exist. God cannot exist because science is supposed to be God. Science is idol worship, but scientists don't have enough spiritual intelligence to see it because spirituality cannot be real.
Science does not realize God because science holds itself as God. God cannot be realized with such arrogance. Science does not want there to be a God because if there was a God, science would need to subordinate itself to it. Science is not humility, it is arrogance. But every scientist thinks he is humble. That's the depth of the self-deception.
Here's a good explanation of why religious belief is the opposite of real spirituality.

Belief separates you from Reality. But Reality is God. That's why all religion is wrong.
The more you love Reality, the less belief you want to have.
You can’t spell belief without lie ;)
If I didn’t have serious health problems I would be a lot more arrogant. Nothing humbles you like health problems out of your control. Sometimes I think I have health problems just to help me understand the weak and helpless. The strong and healthy are too arrogant and too oblivious to understand the weak. You are arrogant until you realize that your health was given to you by God and could be taken away at any minute. Strength breeds arrogance, contempt, ego, and evil. To be Good you must understand weakness. The only way to understand weakness is to be weak. Weakness cannot be understood hypothetically.
Humility is the recognition that you are at God's mercy. We are all at the mercy of Truth. Some of us know it, most of us don't. Even God is at the mercy of Truth. The only difference is that it has fully surrendered to it and you haven't yet.
Makes no difference who you are, one day your health will fail and you will die.
When you get sick you will appreciate these words. And until then you won't. You will act arrogant until Truth beats it out of you. The more arrogant you are, the more of a beating you're in for. God doesn't beat anyone to punish, Truth just must be what it be. God can't change the Truth to make you feel better. The fool wishes God to change truth for him. The sage becomes God. If you can't beat it, join it.
The strong are in denial about this. They've demonized weakness. They're in for a beating. The taller the throne, the harder the fall.
