Of course not. I love this community, I love people here. I enjoy conversations like this and glad to be here. Also, I understand that this media is dry and some emotions can be misinterpreted, there is no way I take it personally.

here is an article for you, so you would understand my point better: "The subconscious mind has the habit of taking everything literally. It does not differentiate between negative and positive. ... The subconscious mind is subjective. It doesn’t t think or reason independently, it simply obeys the commands it receives from your conscious mind. As Henry Ford said, “if you think you can, or if you think you can’t, you’re right!” source: https://www.gailmarrahypnotherapy.com/9-things-you-may-not-have-known-about-your-subconscious-mind/#:~:text=The subconscious mind has the,differentiate between negative and positive.&text=It doesn't t think,receives from your conscious mind. sorry, I do not have time to find you a scholarly article or research data about this, I am in a hurry, you are welcome to explore this concept. Let's talk about it in the future. I am open to educate myself more about it too! It is very well-known in psychology, if I am not mistaken Skinner was among those to promote this theory, Skinnerian conditioning perhaps is a part of it.

there is no IF, it is already the case, wake up...and look around sure...

LMAO...you made my day. Hey, glad you using that picture I gave you for the avatar!

Everything is serious, my friend. Cambridge analytica posed a threat when trying to manipulate constituent's preferences regarding president elections. Amazon, FB, Google, you wait and see how your entrepreneur's business will be highly effected by those monsters. We live among them, there is nothing you can do, unless you live in the deep woods. But lamenting about it won't do any good!

You are preaching to the choir, my friend....I do not have anything, nor I ever had, against psychedelics and deep work, in fact I might try it at some point in my life. That is what you and others do on this forum 24/7...sorry to break it for it. You missed my point, my friend. I totally agree with you, I said it was slowly percolating in people's mind...that can already do the wonder, whether you are aware of it or not...I would recommend studying cognitive distortions to understand my point better. I do not want to be rude, but it feels like you hold an absolute romantic view about how things should be. Well guess what? It is not going to work like this, we live in a reality where various opinions, dogmas and web of beliefs collide with each other. What you are saying is ideal but far from reality. Go talk about it with my math teacher and see what he will reply back to you. OR go to my local church (Nashville, TN) and preach about the powerful use of psychedelics here and see what happens. These people do not even trust science, all they know is a "word of God from Bible". Again, you have to understand that on the subconscious level (and sorry for using dualistic language) your psyche does not differentiate between such categories as negative vs. positive, + or -! So anti commercial would work on the same premise. You are adding more weight to it by just speculating about ideas.

@Bazooka Jesus @Javfly33 @inFlow @Dazgwny I am sorry nobody liked that movie, I do not take psychedelics, how would I know? I thought it was fun to watch, for me anyway....to have at least some idea how it is like... I didn’t mean to hurt those who are into this work. p.s. anti commercial is also commercial ? even to make some statements they did is already something for our mainstream. Perhaps, we will be more open-minded about psychedelics in the future , however the changes won’t happen over night. If you ever came across cognitive distortions, you know that for the society to accept something it should go in particular order, stages... Now, we still make jokes about it, laugh about it, but it is better than denying it, for sure. It is slowly percolating in our minds somehow.... Not long ago same sex marriages were heavily denied and condemned, and guess what? Our society came to the stage where we ultimately have accepted it. So give it a time! At least through such movies this idea is slowly assimilating in our society. I believe soon enough we will discover more healing properties of psychedelics.

Sorry for the late response...I do not do the journal, however, it is on my list. I wanted one just for my emotions, I need one. I want to see my emotions clearly, what triggers them and why I reacted the way I did. Because if you do not pinpoint them, they just go on subconscious level and you are doing things over and over again. But I want to be free from some attachments. It is a hard work... Thank you for your compassion, time and understanding. I do appreciate it. You got it right about something I need to work on, very good for a person who interacts with others via forum. Good catch. I mean it.

Are you an astrologist? Might order a forecast for 2020 for myself. I mean it. One lady on this forum did my natal chart, 95% was true.

Honestly, I feel like in the past my awareness was way higher than right now. But because i have experienced life changing events in my life, it has changed some of my regular routine, my awareness has dropped. Also, I am not mature in terms of my emotions. I am very emotional. To me the pinnacle of my growth would be the neutral /cool emotional state. I still buy into various things like approval, anticipation ( don’t like this feeling, can’t get rid of it ) praise, pride( this is huge for me, I am very proud, even though my ego pretends sometimes that it’s humble, I can catch when it is a fake humility just because it wants to think higher of itself) recognition ( oh boy, my whole life is predicated upon this, to prove others that I am better in some way) call it arrogance.... what I have mastered so far is that I am trying to be honest. Probably this is my biggest strength. I am trying to be honest with myself and other people as much as I can, or aware of, or as much as it possible in our society, and !!!! 99% of the time I get in trouble for this. I even lost some friendships in the past because people can not handle or not ready to hear honest opinion. so... there are a lot of work, probably not enough for another life to master this ego and become a super human!

That is not actually my problem. For the past five or so years I have been aware of my thoughts. I know my inner motives, I try catching myself when ego manipulates and lying...I hear every single thought and it is drawing in my awareness. my problem is that I don’t have this Aha moment like people here. I am not aware enough to realize I am oneness. I can stop my thoughts , but not for a long time. I don’t think I have an overwhelming inner dialogue, in fact it is subtle. I just can’t break through. oh God pls send me some psychedelics and a lot of enlightened people in my life so I get what I really wish for so many years. Amen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Inliytened1 Thank you so much, sure, PM me when have time, no rush.

@Inliytened1 If you don't mind asking again....so I was meditating, trying to self-inquiry to get some glimpse, every time I ask "Who am I?" everything points to this breathing body. It feels like this "I" is in my head, which is the inner voice. Seems like my inner voice is me. I know it is not true, it is a thought. I can not move on...I am waiting for the click or shift and...nothing happens. I want to make it smooth, I do not want to be depressed again. I have some life commitments. Thank you.

@WaveInTheOceanHello, if you do not mind answering my question because I am stuck: So I am Consciousness imagining this ego/world/other people/this POV, I got it. You said that it was imagining others POV simultaneously. You said they had their separate thought processes. Not long time ego Leo said there was only one NOW and it is YOURS. I know I have been asking this question a lot on this form, I do apologize for this. But I can not image it fully. Other POVs with other NOWs implies objective reality, since they exist outside of this present moment this ego (my ego) experiences but since everything exists as a probability how is it possible? Thanks.

First of all, I am very sorry that you are currently in this apathy state. I know how it feels, I was there a month ago. Thanks to people on this forum who did not allow me to derail from my path. After talking to them I am full of optimism again. Pls let me know if I can help you somehow, I am not an expert... but still. this book is on the Leo’s book list. I like it. Of course, you need to set up some time and do some activities described in that book. If you wonder how it looks like, let me know and I will send you another screenshot here. If you don’t mind sharing , what has triggered the apathy. In my case it was too much to take. I feel depressed the more I dived into self-inquiry, it was scary....

yes, I was asking you. I guess I am stuck. I was trying to describe what thought was for me ☹️. I know you want me to understand the nature of my thought to expend my awareness. Well, thoughts are certain sensations, auditory labels and visual images. I am trying to decompose...but can’t move further than this...

Certain sensation that happens here/now?

Another thought

@Leo Gura Simple for you I just really really really want to know how Consciousness re-contextualizes itself. (You talked about this in your episode, but I do not remember the name of it, probably the one where you were explaining the emergence) Is it similar to what happens to me in the lucid dreaming? But also... it hurts my brain to realize that change is not possible by default since there is NO time!

Found this interesting video with Peake, love this guy, had a chance to chat with him personally, read his book "The Labyrinth of Time" I am aware that as any researcher he has his own limitations, but why not watching him just to learn something and make your outlook wider? Go to 5:07 minute in the video, he actually speculates about the last minutes of death, that does not happen to us... He talks about Tom W. Campbell's blind spots as well.

100 %!

You will lead me into osmosis! Here we go: POV + thoughts =emergence of EGO POV w/out thoughts = probably SATORI

POV = ground-----> (emergence of EGO)

Astrology is a valid thing, do not give up on it... Sometimes I can talk to a new person and tell their zodiac sign. Just let it go for a while, switch your attention. Here is a wonderful source, do not just read about sun sign, read the whole natal chart https://astro.cafeastrology.com/natal.php Sorry for my poor response....
