Well that's exactly what I did (and the people I posted a link to) did and we are all going well. Finding other things is part of working with the abstract passion.

You can have interests in other things, but focus and being a specialist means having 1 passion. Sure you can have hobbies and passions in other things and be a bit of a renaissance man, but to truly get results, you need to focus heavily on 1 thing only. I think you said this in your LP you're contradicting your earlier work now lol. That's a bit of a weird statement to make.

That takes work, and faith and a lot of balls and courage to do things other people will think you're crazy or schizophrenic for doing. Its very hard but very rewarding. Here's an example. Here's another Not its not too abstract, you're just too afraid and scared to live by what you want, rather than what society has conditioned you to do. If you were Ghandi's father, you would have said "revolutionising India is too abstract and risky, you're better off trying to be a professor son".

I never said not to follow your passions, just not to try and manufacture a passion that doesn't exist, because that's not how passions work. With a passion of being or accessing total omnipresence, knowing, consciousness, then after enlightenment, you will fucken stare in awe at how that wood is being created, where it comes from, how it works, and how it fits into the big picture. That in itself is enough to leave you in pure love and joy. But if you must keep taking the game seriously to be happy, then do whatever you want, make a book about how that wood actually works, create scientific studies of it using your telepathic omnipresence and knowing of what it is. Revolutionise science - even if that means being the crazy crack pot that no one listens to. I'm sure the right people will listen. Keep being more and more omnipresent of the world forever. I don't know sounds amazing. Much more amazing than 'cultivating other passions' fuck that, that aint worth it.

fucken damn it! Not again.

I'm actually after the opposite. I don't care about peace and even detachment from thoughts that much, or reducing suffering or even healing, or even feeling good/bliss. What I'm after is infinite intelligence and omnipresence. Knowing what reality is. Although the things above are usually needed for omnipresence. @Leo Gura do you find that psychedelics help maintain permanent states of omnipresence and infinite intelligence/knowing? Or you still need meditation and yoga for that?

What's so bad about worse, really?

In other words, I would challenge you to cultivate other distractions @WhatAWondefulWorld I'm the same, I only care about being conscious of reality - that's why I became a scientist/engineer. If I were you, I would start a meditation/contemplation habit ASAP if not already done, start deeply questioning reality to the levels you are passionate about. Follow your bliss. There's no joy like being real intimate with reality. If you're passionate about reality and understanding, then that's what you're passionate about. No faking other passions is gonna make your life happier. You're not going to thrive and enjoy other things if they don't make you happy, you will just feel like you're wasting your time and are living a depressed life. Don't worry about survival for now, just focus heavily on your passion, survival will come once you've got that sorted - that's what happened with me.

@Leo Gura Its not mental masturbation its contemplation. And it works for some people so be a little more compassionate.

Maybe its because I'm as imaginary and as much of an idea as you are, and everyone else is. Maybe that's the missing link. Maybe we are all philosophical zombies, including me. Edit: That was a ridiculously dangerous hypothesis in hindsight. oohhhhh. Yes you're an idea, you're not experiencing anything, you're just an idea, and that makes total sense because so am I. hahahahha ohhhhhh yeah I'm not the body or mind. That's right hahahahaha. ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh ok hahahahahaha You only think others have an ego if you have an ego. If you don't, then so don't others. There's the answer to my burning question fucken caught it bitch woop woop.

@Leo Gura Just to triple check I got the map right. I'm God Imagining that you(Leo) are a spiritual teacher who made actualized.org to help the world. I'm imagining that you're having spiritual experiences, and doing retreats and all this stuff. I'm imagining that I'm 1 out of 100s on here who are trying to enlighten, and I'm imagining that there are other people trying to enlighten. But in reality, that's all completely made up, and what you actually are, is God/Me, talking to Me, trying to wake Me up, and that whole story of you being a teacher living in las vegas doing pickup, teaching all these people is just there as 'padding', as a way of making God's message more believable to the ego? And all these other people on here, is just padding? An elaborate story designed to coax the little me into discovering God? If its truly the fucken case, that there's just one ego, why am I just one person out of 100s on here? What makes me the solopsis one, and not the others? Why is the story deeply elaborate. Its very very realistic. It really really does seem that I'm just 1 ego out of 100s on here. I'm aware that we are all one, but it seems more to me that every perspective is valid/exists, but ultimately we are all the absolute. Like lets assume my perspective is the only one existing right now, look at your convo with Waken, that seems super super convincing that my perspective isn't the only one here right now. If my perspective is the only perspective that exists, then why are you arguing with others? Wouldn't you only do that if their perspective exists too(Rupert Spira's video deeply resonates with my current understanding) Why is my perspective the one that exists? Instead of others?

@Waken I think he's saying the only POV that exists is yours.

Yep that's exactly what's happening. There is no future dreaming or reincarnation, all dreaming is now. God is not future dreaming, because future is NOW the future is directly accessible NOW. That's why some people can predict the future, because the future 'is stored in the present moment' so to speak. In the depths of the universal mind. So is all dreaming. Form changing literally = Formlessness. Changing is identical to formlessness (I.E. no changing, eternal stillness. ). Form is just an appearance, and the idea that it changes is an appearance too. If there wasn't, you would be able to observe evidence that changing is real, but when inquiring, its just not there. Only in appearance its there.

of course he doesn't. He doesn't have needs.

I'll give you a nobel prize when you can prove an absolute difference between black and white, square and rectangle, horse and car. Your eyes are distinguishing consciousness from consciousness, in the name of 'change'.

@Leo Gura contemplate what change is, and find evidence of its existence. It seems like it changes, yet the boundary between 1 particular form and another is indistinguishable.

But is it? Form changes, but that change = formlessness. No matter what it changes to, it boils down to the same thing: form. So ultimately does it change? Anyway nevermind, gotta find a way to get my hands on the golden teachers, much better method of channelling the answer. awesome point that's right

I'm looking at direct experience/empirical observation. I'm approaching it from a deconstructive approach. I'm not really looking for exploring the mind's creation, I'm looking for what God is. Not looking at all the different sorts of hollograms, looking for what the hollograms are made or or come from.

Time isn't real. There is no such thing as dreaming up lots of dreams. There's no such thing as next.

all of its finite ways = other ?????????????????????????????? in direct experience, all finite ways don't exist, all that exists IS THIS FINITE WAY THIS POV

Leo is no more real than santa clause.

No that's my interpretation of mahasamadhi based on what Leo said. Of course mahasamadhi is extremely, ridiculously more radical than that. That's a highly highly highly dualistic and materialistic way of looking at mahasamadhi

+1 ?❤️ In all honesty, there's no difference between mind, body, misperception, confusion and ego.

Where does compassion for other come from if there really really really is no other?

You're talking about spirit, not ego? Yes electroBeam and jafy33 is one, we are both God, Im feeling you now and you're feeling me, or more precisely, I'm being you and you're being me. I get that spirit is 1, and we are all 1, but ego is 1? Since when was the ego 1? Why do you act different to me if our egos are the same - ego being delusion/made up stories. Sounds good @Nahm loving the confusion. LOL
