Spinoza

No, you did not understand what i meant, i mean you won't feel the need to share your opinions, you won't look for what you called " joy of sharing" or for proving that your view is right

I think non duality is more deeper than that, i think if we REALLY try to see things from non dual perspective we should not be here in the forum talking

I think it depend from which angle we see the world, If i insult someone in the forum, i can't tell him it's your own interpretation or you find that insulting because of your inner , there is a reason why the forum is moderated (if it's not moderated we know what will happen, human is still primitive) We choose how to react it's from the inside, but we don't control other people behaviors What i meant in my post, that we human we are constantly talking about peace and love, you see that everywhere, but actuality it's not what is happening, there is tons of ignorance ...deep ignorance, more than what you can imagine, spirituality can help to detaches from that and focus less on that negative side (i don't believe in free will i don't blame, not everyone can be conscious it's very rare and it's not a choice) in my opinion human species is surviving, very few people are bringing value (*what is considered as value is subjective) Most of people are looking for primitive desire, feeling in competition, and because they will never fulfill theirs desire they will always be negative, creating more problem to themselves, and to others.

So the world is good and people are sincere and selfishless lol I get what you guys said, high level of consciousness did not get affected but all that, and doesn't judge back, you will understand everybody

I noticed that People who are philosophical are either wise or insane When i look for this kind of content, there is a lot of people who are so wise, people who think deeply .... and also many "weird" who mix spirituality, mental illness..etc some people in society don't have questions, they don't feel the need to improve or to understand more and they are for real more happy because of theirs ignorance, so lucky I think we look to rise our consciousness cause we feel more mental pain/existential crisis than the average person and we want to avoid it cause we did not found a meaning, the average person already has a meaning in life and he is deeply involving in it What do you think ?

Hi everyone, I see many people everywhere on the internet, linking consciousness with the word "The truth" I think that every state is the human mind is an illusion, like even when you feel enlightened, maybe you are just depersonalized, and you feel less pain and mental suffering. at that moment, you think you are mon conscious and you can see thing better but you are just looking at "reality" from an other illusionary perspective, i think we are not able to see reality, and we will never understand its meaning, cause it's always subjective to what state you are in the moment. like the degree of consciousness is not always the same, sometimes we can be more clear because we not don't feel so emotional or attached to things, but it's doesn't mean it's the truth nature of our being, like nothing has a true meaning, and the meaning we give, depend on which state(level of consciousness) we are in. What i mean, is that any level of wisdom/consciousness even if it makes life/mind healthier is not an 100% absolute or that we are seeing the truth. because our mind is always trying to give a meaning to every experience and if it's pleasant it consider it as the truth I hope that my post is not too vague, Ps: this is just a thought [ "Maybe" ]

I agree, if someone want to hurt you or make you feel inferior, because they feel weak. Most of people are weak, insecure, and feel bored about theirs life, so expect that kind of reaction. Be comprehensive, we cannot control the what is outside, you can only control your inside by knowing that everybody is expressing what they feel, if someone feel good about himself he will never try to harm other by physical or verbal (invisible) violence. If you still feel anger, i suggest you to think again about it and see the illusion in those kind of situation, You will understand that you have to be compassionate, as you said it's mechanic, if you are in the jungle and a wild animale attack you, will you take it personally ? he is hardwired to do that to protect himself, i believe it's exactly how human behave.

There is no reason to react this way, i'm not blaming you saying that Everybody has his own view of the world "Most of people are not open minded and it's not theirs fault", so you need to expect all reactions. In reality, it's you who choose to feel like that (it depend on your beliefs), in this World, we don't agree on everything, if you look deeply will be amazed Sometimes even when you do "good" it can seems evil for some people You need to be comprehensive, you may also hurt other and you don't know it if they say or do something which is not aligned with your value If you really want to not get sensitive about that , don't take anything personal(U need to be understand why), and be comprehensive (think deep about it, you will see that no one has Free will) Once you get that, you will laugh when you get into that kind of situations. I hope this helps you

How you describe Non duality? can you guys give your definition of non-duality, (a very clear and simple explanation of Nondualism)

I'm not sure if really get, i will do more research Thanks for all your replies

I like the topic of nihilism, personally i have a nihilistic view of life even i don't live like a nihilist In my opinion, the reason why nihilism seems negative for average people, because illusion give you more hope / illusionary joy, once you are nihilistic it's not possible to enjoy things as someone who is not nihilistic Nihilism is objective, as human we cannot be nihilistic we can't be objective when observing things. Because if you are really nihilistic you don't care if life has meaning or not, you don't want to be enlightened..ect that doesn't make a difference. I think we human, we can't live without illusion, our mind is very very very very very hardwired to look for pleasure which we can found in illusion, If this biologic mind did not detect pleasure/meaning under illusion it will automatically get you depressed (An opinion), you will look for other illusion like: drugs or spirituality to calm this pain caused by nihilistic views

The more i do research, the more i see the reality subjective (Philosophy, Science, Spirituality..etc) I think i understand what you mean, you call it true nature, because it seems so objective....i think when there is an observer the experience is always subjective, once you exist and you can observe you are influenced, so you are subjective, the only state where Maybe we are objective is none-existence.

It seems he did a massive work on himself, he look so machiavelic and defensive, just a thought

The more you understand illusions, the more you acquire wisdom

In my opinion all things in the universe are connected and are influencing each other, the solar system is influencing us, Astrologie is not true, it's not something verified, it's claiming that you know what you don't know, it's human trying to understand nature depending on his hope Maybe the solar system can tell us many thing about our behavior, but Astrology doesn't have the answers

Thanks you all for your replies, i will do more research and experience more stuff thanks

Listen the podcast from 17:30 http://www.danielvitalis.com/rewild-yourself-podcast/nora-gedgaudas-on-using-entheogens-to-free-our-minds-from-cultural-conditioning

On internet you find some people saying it's very safe, and others talking about hyperventilation side effect (permanent brain damage/death)

It's exactly what i thought when i tried it, i used to run everyday for years, (it's the same way of breathing) After trying the breathing technique, at the end i felt exactly like if i did an outside running

I don't mean that experiencing high moment of consciousness is not possible or is not good, but its still subjective, and if it's subjective so we can't call it "seeing the truth" or our real nature , the topic is complexe, i hope you understood what i mean Thanks, i will take a look

I remember i did this technique without knowing its name. Two year ago After seeing Leo video, i wanted to try it, i did it for 30 min and here is my review. You won't feel your body, your feet get cold After 10 min i felt tired, i did not stop then i concentrated again and it become automatic without effort You feel that all body tension are released i felt tiny pleasant electricity in my face (under my eyes, mouth, on my nose) When i finished, i could not open my hands, it close by itself I felt happier and you feel that you love everybody, you feel that hate is useless and very unconscious act. When you touch your body, you feel like it don't belong to you When you finish you feel so light, and it's easy to talk, your voice sound relaxe I stopped at 30 min, i felt like if i continue i could get dizzy (because i never experienced doing it for 30 min). After doing it, you still have this feeling for like 10 or 15 min, then this feeling decrease. I will do more research to see if there is no danger if i do it for hours.

Islam brings some good things to the Arab at that time, but this doesn't mean it's a true religion, In Mekka, women were also leaders, and Mohammed before islam married Khadidja she was a rich business woman at that time (she was 24 years older than Muhammad and some source say that she was christian) Here is an information that many people don't know about islam, ALLAH is not a muslim concept, in Mekka, years before islam people believed in one god (invisible god) and they used to call god ALLAH, you can find many famous persons in Arab history before islam theirs name was Abdu'allah which mean the servant of god, and it was the name of the father of Muhammad who he never met. Mekka: is the holly town of muslim where muhammed started his mission, now people from around the world go there for pilgrimage.

@Akim I agree with you the video is more an DIFFERENT interpretation of Islam, (there is thousands interpretation of islam in the world) some says that Sufi islam is the real islam by Muhammed but i don't think at all, I can read Arabic, when you read the Hadiths it doesn't sound like Sufi, for those who don't know much about Muhammed texts which is called "Hadiths" it's not a sort of deep wisdom like many muslims claim, i will pick a random hadiths and translate it .... (in fews seconds) Abu Huraira reported form some sources Muhammed Friend Said : We were in the company of Allah's Messenger that we heard a terrible sound. The prophet Muhammed said: Do you know what sound is this? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: That is a stone which was thrown seventy years before in Hell and it has been constantly slipping down and now it has reached its base. From Sahih Muslim 2844 (A Books were muslim learn what prophet Muhammed said) there is two major book the seconds called Sahih Bukhari The classic muslim reaction: Ah those hadith are not necessarily true,.... but you know all islamic teachning are from hadith and not from Quran, for example the way how to pray in islam is from Muhammed Hadiths not from the Quran I don't want to attack anyone and i'm not criticizing islam, i'm sharing my opinion why i don't see islam as a wise/deep religion, it's full of naive idea that cannot be believe nowday, people in the past believed in anything you tell them. and it contain many verse/speech that help people with power to control the crowd. Many people don't know that in islam you are not supposed to say Hello to non-muslim, for those who are curious search on internet you will be suprised, PS: Muslim people nowday don't think that way because they don't even know this. Most of good Hadith by Muhammed (Helping each other, giving money to poor...etc) are exclusively between muslim. it always say (the muslim and his brother) which mean muslim to muslim. I may sound like a hater of islam but not at all. when i see people attacking muslim or islam with hatred, i see it like a very low conscious act and i definitely consider it as violence, most of muslim are muslim by name fortunately they don't practise islam word by word.

I like this post, the democracy at Actualized.org lol, i'm happy to see this questions on the forum since i don't like the concept of follower who see someone like as perfect, always right....etc I'm not a big follower of Leo, i did not saw all his video but a lot of them since 2 or 3 years, i will give my opinion Personally, i don't think that Leo is manipulating us, his content is not something that attract the masses and sometimes his courage lead him to say some truth that few people are capable to say in public and this is why i admire him I don't see how is doing manipulation, even if he do that nobody can really manipulate you, (some Guru on internet really manipulate naive people) but when you listen to Leo video he never said i have the magic product for you to transform your life in 7 days lol. I heard him saying that this self help work is personal, only you, you can change yourself, you have to do it yourself and is very hard since we are hard wired to bad habits and society influence, he don't sell dream Regarding the forum, i think it's a good idea he had, in a forum you can create a sort of community which share idea, on YouTube it's like there is no communication, (one person speaking, and other just listening). even he do it for traffic, what's wrong with creating content to have traffic? the forum benefit everybody, and what i like, is that he interact in the forum. I never seen Leo forcing anybody to buy his course like many Guru and personal development guys do. i don't see anything wrong with selling product online when it has a real value, Imagine you spend a lot of time reading, learning, trying new techniques, buying stuff, paying to experience things, then why not creating a valuable product to help people who are capable to buy it? and Free content to those who can't buy it. if he was really focusing on Marketing he could used many other techniques which work better to have x100 money. Most of leo content is for FREE, sometime of his opinions play against him I may sound like a bootlicker, but because Leo content is valuable and so rare on the internet i give it credit even if i don't agree with some of his view.
