@mandyjw Go ahead, start a journal. It has to have a good title though. Like really good.

@mandyjw It has nothing to do with believing. I'll be gentle .

@Key Elements Perhaps, I should have said: masculine.

@Key Elements I think that a magic wand may be a male thing when it comes to spirituality. You know... proving something to yourself to deem yourself to be ready.

That's no problem at all. It actually was kinda to the point. I was about to open a thread in the spirituality section where I would rip people to shreds. I'm still thinking about that.

@mandyjw What's the other book?

@mandyjw You really did read that? Awww, sorry to hear that You really are cute

@mandyjw Have you read Tao te ching? Try the "translation" by Ursula Le Guinn. I really loved that one. Other than that it's the overall feeling of this man. I love his style. The hat, the eyes, the chair, his hands, his facial expressions. He's really in there. You can always tell the depth by looking into the eyes.

No man, don't take that stuff seriously. We're just talking about male/female energy, that's all. Ralston is really good. I respect him a lot. Probably because I know very little of what he actually said and he made a big impression on me. I started resonating with Teal Swan recently. I should have probably answered Lao Tzu. I love Tao Te Ching.

@mandyjw I relate to Ralston a lot and I don't find him insensitive at all. He is a sadist, but to be a good sadist, one has to first direct that energy inwards and conquer himself. He really had to go deep into himself to be able to pull that shit through. He sees right through people. Masculinity is power exerted upon others. It is love of the self on the other's expense. Femininity is power exerted upon oneself. It is love of the other on expense of the self. I wonder what kind of energy I project. What do you feel/think?

You get a fractal when you want to rationalize why two mirrors facing each other create a reflection. Do they, really?

@Preetom Oh yeah, It's irresistible to resist. Right? Who would have though that in order to become God, you also have to let the devil in?

@mandyjw Become the change you want to see.

Go make your own theory man.

@mandyjw Go watch the Ralston's video with Leo again. Just look at the face of that man. He's having so much shits breaking Leo that it's unbelievable. You know what's fishy about him? He's fucking addicted to sadism, that's what hahahaha. He's literally getting people to seek him so that he can fuck with their heads until they forget who they are ahahahaha. And he's doing that out of compassion . HAHAHAHAHA

Do you not deserve such a gift?

I think that the chief problem with spirituality is its formal nature after some point. You really have to master the process in which you attained the said clarity and integrate it to your everyday consciousness. Leo is dependent on 5-MeO for now, but he will have to divert away from it at some point. If his videos don't bring you any clarity and you can see through their fragmentation, I think that it's best to drop them. Why won't you write down your own insights in a journal instead? It is helpful, however absurd it may sound to a person that does not believe in language. This way you could see through your own fragmentation (contradiction) and maybe attain final clarity? There is a Zen saying that by no amount of polishing a brick, you will turn it into a mirror. Right?

@mandyjw Imagine what infinite knowledge would look like, incarnated in a human being. You would not even flinch, but continue your existence effortlessly. Thoughtlessly. Silently. People that claim that they would go off to conquer the world are the fragmented ones, looking for something to mend themselves. This is the bridge between shadow work and consciousness work.

When you will realize that time is a delusion. You can only fail to be compassionate in retrospect, in relation to an image of ideal behavior. In this context, compassion is your true nature. Your face before your mother conceived you and you conceived your mother. Reality flows. When time is born, the currents are not aligned and work against each other. This is resistance, time. You never had control to begin with, but you were so fragmented that you couldn't perceive it. This is what shoulds and shouldn'ts are. This is why you need self-images. To hold yourself together. The mind was trying to protect you, but in its ignorance (finitude) it confused fire hose with a flame thrower.

That's your suffering. Your suffering is Leo's suffering. You are Leo and you are Ralston and you don't exist. There is no me and there are no others. It's all a delusion. Compassion is the excuse you're defending when Ralston's words fly over your head. You believe that you should be compassionate. That's time and self-image. Yeah, I know. I'm here for you.

Let me answer both questions at once. What's off in Ralston's explanation is the fact that it flies over Leo's head. He says it explicitly: The only thing that is absolute is non-existence. Eradication of ungrounded beliefs. You see how possibility, being wrong, is time-dependent and was explicitly refuted by Ralston? The only way to see that suffering is not a problem is to see that there was no suffering to begin with. It's a belief that hinges upon something. It hinges upon time, past, future. Fear of hurting others. Pride of healing oneself from hurt. Self-transcendence. This is all self-image. Time is a very deep delusion. Thanks to time, something can be itself and not be itself. It's ridiculous. Look at your hand and start moving it. It's different and the same at the same time. It is itself, and looks nothing like itself when you move it.

Oh yeah, I can imagine how much that conversation would rip my soul apart. I wonder how many horcruxes Leo's Voldemort has. This got dark really quickly. We could use the prayer swat team.

Listen to that part that tells you that desires are wrong. Desire is suffering. All of desire is all of suffering. It does not mean to prohibit yourself from wanting things. From having things. That is still desire to be desireless. If wanting puts you in the future, then it is desire, self-image and time. Fear and confusion arise. Desire, suffering, time, mind, fear, etc. These are all one and the same delusion. These are how you communicate to yourself that you are wrong. It is impossible to not be yourself. When you suffer, you learn to navigate. This is our honesty and dignity. True honesty and dignity are not image-driven. It is more akin to intuition. Thoughtless knowing. Thinking in silence.

Just watch this one. I mean, wow. It just hurts. No wonder Leo doesn't brag about this stuff.
