@Inliytened1 I agree I wish I would attend his seminar in a Bay Area.

btw, I see that Leo took a lot of Ralston's concepts in his early works and integrated them. I believe he mentioned his work couple of times in his videos as well.

@Inliytened1 I know you were busy so no problem.... I hope you're doing great, it's been a while....

Thank you Johnny! Not sure how I missed this one but I am looking forward to watch it. I do appreciate your help!

Hey guys, where can I find the video with Leo interviewing Ralston, a part of which VeganAwake posted yesterday here in this thread? Thank you. ?

Oh boy, the whole forum party is here in this thread ?????

Thank God you’ve stepped in this thread again. I’ve been waiting for your wisdom ❤️.

Me too, I like this saying : ? ”There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” - William Shakespeare. So... no worries, I’ve never taken it that way.

It depends on perspective. From the Absolute level, of course there are no levels to awakening, from the personal level there are levels to awakening. take Spiral Dynamics for example, this is so obvious.

Be careful some guys here have already complained that I was too flirty ??? now I am even scared to put a smiley face during the conversation ?? since some people perceive it as a flirt! oh boy... I love you guys, just can’t say it out loud. ❤️❤️❤️

@VeganAwake nope, I meant that you said there were no stages of awakening .

Question about nihilism and states of consciousness, but let's just leave it here because we do not want to start the same old disk again. I do apologize if my comments were harsh.

People who's achieved a real realization do not talk like this because the see this Reality as perfect, they do not categorize, they do not judge, they do not create hierarchy. I am sorry but this is just flood and a word salad.

Spot on, very good observation. I've been reading these statements half a year already , no gains...same old topic. thank you for your support and kind words. Maybe

This is a very arrogant statement for someone who considers himself as Nothing! Just saying btw, you have not answered my question....

@Someone here ask Dima @dimitri He opened the Pandora box. _________________________________________ Seriously, no butt topic anymore, otherwise it looks silly.

I was asking Vegan about nihilism, he has ignored my comment Oh, thank you so much for you comment, you are too kind . I am stuck right now. Actually I am at this point in my life that I can not get this puzzle right. Dead end! Which is a great thing. Ralston helps in a way that I am stripping my old beliefs down. Helps a lot to understand the premise of my deceitful thoughts. Sounds great!

@Johnny5 I will be banned for derailing males' threads with butt's conversations. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jokes apart, five comments ago I asked a serious question, nobody replied me back. I guess you guys think I am a silly woman and don't take me seriously. It is a gender discrimination. I am going to change name, picture and gender in my profile settings tomorrow. ??? I wanna play in this send box too, but nobody wants to play with me

You said everything is about smacking a girl's butts, I read it as it is the main instinct: sex and reproduction, therefore chasing and getting( girl is a target). Nothing wrong with my butt.

@Red-White-Light ?

" The mystery is not "how" the world is, but "that" it is. " - Ludwig Wittgenstein!

What to do if I'm a female and do not have any interest in sexual contests link to other females?

I am reading his book now ("The Book of Not Knowing), this is NOT what he is saying! In fact, he is saying totally opposite thing. Why do you deny the illusory nature of our beings? If there is some level of illusion, aka intermingling of our thoughts, memories, feelings and sensations that comprise personality then it meant to be this way. Even if!!! it is not the true nature of the Self! Everything is correct, he is saying here that the true Self is nothingness, but it has nothing to do with actual experience. I feel like every person on this forum interprets teachings in the way he feels the most comfortable with. But sometimes we can be blindfolded with our interpretation! Hope I do not sound rude. <3

hehe, I think it is a cultural thing though. but I know what you mean exactly.

@dimitri ok, I am losing you here... a guy is smacking a girl's butt, but how does it connect to solipsism? LOL I wont call the names, but I already see how some members here will be complaining that it goes to weird places.
