@Emotionalmosquito very emotionalmosquito careful bro, don't let it win. The first thing I'd say is congratulations, you have the ability to speak, what I like to call, truth. I myself have autism, and struggled terribly as a child getting into weed and lots of harmful stuff. Pretty much exactly as how you described, then having negative results when I put myself out there. Lack of calibration, religious dumbass parents, dumbass society, dumbass education, dumbasses upon dumbasses, then you have the dumbasses that punish you and laugh at the autistic kid because he failed. This is the reality of western civilisation. You can't let the anger win, you have to see it as a boss like in a video game, you just gotta decide that your Gona beat it even if you have to conquer the entire world. Take many attempts. Also logic will not serve you in dealing with it. I have reason to believe that carefully orchestrated mdma therapy or even possibly mdma+a basic low dose psychedelic can work wonders like with a psychedelic assisted therapist. You also have the option to move country...it sounds like your American or something. Powerful western countries have a major ego problem and the thing is when they see people who are making genuine efforts, their pride is like a lense that makes them thing that these people are the ones with the real ego. Twisted up, such is reality. You can't really blame them, they're just morons, complete dumbasses, who enjoy hurting autistic kids. They have no perception of the damage they do. Bro, what you have to understand is...these people are children. They have the minds of children, they literally cannot see the damage they're doing to you. So you can't really do much. You won't beat the anger by thinking more, you gotta make an action plan. A simple one could be: move somewhere that has less morons/degenerates. That's a good one. They don't realise that the damage they're doing encourages the very thing they seek to stop. You can't let them force you into hurting people man, rise above their stupidity and find healing. Maybe look into the mdma. If you want I could pop you a private message, I've helped other people through similar stuff. Remember, action and energy is the method. Theory and thinking will take decades maybe never work. Big action. Or big energy. If you don't take big big action, the pain will crush you and you will stay crushed until you die. Don't allow a stable environment for your anger. A controlled amount of destabilisation to gently rebreak the environment to create the demand for the energy to set correctly.

I'm very sure at this point that the physical pictures of hell and heaven (a firey pit and streets made of actual gold) are just symbols. Butttttt, I did see heaven on 5, it looks pretty close to gold. Yellow and very bright

Fuck me sideways, last couple years have been a slog. But just getting massive hastening on my realisation of love. It's kinda like it completely makes sense all at once. Not a god awakening but I know what a realisation feels like and this isint one. Think it's like low level awakening or some shit. It doesent feel right to call in it a realisation, I can feel it's more central and powerful. Maybe it is just a powerful realisation...I prefer the term low awakening. Connotates it better imo.. Sitting meditating in Buddhist temple, vibing. Not hard anymore, feeling the love, it's like something's really clicked for me I'm starting to understand that if you don't have these foundational cores and pillers, progress is doomed. So I got the love thing, not a shit load like with 5 but I can tell, it's more stable, organic, it feels permanent. Like the logical mind has been completely overrided in some respect. I understand why silence is what you see some teachers encouraging...it's not that they're keeping quiet to show how disciplined they are, they don't want to interrupt the flow of their love! This is real nice low awakening. I've found so much value in Buddhism, just cuz it won't get you god awakened doesn't mean it doesn't have some mega powerful methods and teachings for the lower level. Boddichitta, compassion, I really don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Buddhism. So accepting and beautiful. Does anyone have thoughts on Buddhism? I do Mahayana Buddhism ☮️

I personally feel the basic methods are massively underrated in this community cuz we kinda operate on the assumption that your some badass who can just cut all other methods and go for the enlightenment jugular. In reality this isint usually sustainable. Loving others, talking with god (which could fall into the category of prayer loosely), meditation, awakening theory...will these get you enlightened? Hell no. But not having them as a foundation? You'll have a rocket with no launch pad or a poorly calibrated launch pad. 👎🏽

this metric seems to incorporate regionality https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40375174/

Mental health has declined considerably, it's cuz of the digital age boom. Smart phones and devices, creating false expectations and body dysmorphia or whatever it's called. Social skills atrophy, stage orange egotistical success oriented materialism causes moral degradation and it all kind of melds together to create hatred, isolation mental illness and pain. And it also polarised the pain/no pain categories. Meaning your more like to either have very little or a shit ton. Also it'll just take some time for humanity to learn how to adapt to it (digital age)

There is some kind of weird emotionally charged energy with this word.

Lol

Your own intelligence is gods intelligence,

I think "perception" is the word we choose to explain what everything is around us. But there's some hidden assumptions with this word. For example you might be cool to say that your perceiving the room your in right now...what the subconscious takes that to mean is that the world is real and your just sitting in it receiving it through your 5 senses. Seeing light, feeling your butt on a chair, tasting the remnants of your morning coffee... It's difficult to talk about this cuz there's limited words but, the notion of perception is something that is a subconscious idea that can itself be perceived. I don't have a deep realisation of this yet, but I know that tackling the idea of perception is likely the cornerstone of something. It's kinda like a bandaid that you slap onto everything to explain how it exists. I think a cool exercise that I actually just tried right now is looking at something that's in your field and "perceiving" it then simultaneously perceive your notions of what the perception of the object is and how it's happening. Holding them side by side at the same time...could be powerful

Ye, I became a Hindu couple weeks ago lol

I want to see Bryan Cranston on k

Just be sure to intuitively distinguish between good pain and bad pain like at the gym

I love Leo with my whole heart, but I do feel like lots of courses can be a bit more than what's needed. I believe purpose is found when the mind relaxes. What your head calculates you should do and what your heart yearns for are different, and as long as the head is in charge, your fighting uphill. You know it's also ok to just chill and keep doing whatever you love with the whole finding a purpose thing in the back burner. I personally don't believe in forcing anymore. People bloom at different times as well. Forcing it forward could end up crumpling the flower. Mind confuses itself. where possible keep it @SimpleGuy Some simple questions I've found useful are: if one thing you see stood out as something that could be improved in the world what would it be? Where do you see a discrepancy? You've got the million dollar question: if you were rich and money was no object, what would you do (other than holidays and video games)? People spend their entire lives saving enough money so they can eventually retire and do what they love. Why not just start with what you love

Yo what the fuck is this guy talking about

I think this guy pretends to have a class Infront of him. You can tell his micro movements he has no humans Infront of him and his voice echoes too cleanly. The rooms empty. Or maybe one person sitting to his left.. maybe duno

5 is meant to be used like dynamite for clearing hard rock in caves, massive one offs with swift but gradual build ups then stoppage. Don't mistake it for daily medicine, you can destabilise your brain chemistry. Very little and very often is a recipie for disaster I think

Leo can I get clarification on this. I'd assume you'd agree that it's useful to have some kind of trinket or object that belonged to a dead relative to keep in the house that is comforting to you because you accociate it with the dead relative... Like there's a real connection in the mind there, the association between the object (maybe a gift you gave to the dead relative) and the dead relative themselves. Or even a photograph of the dead relative. Of course the photograph isn't the dead relative it's just a representation...but The emotion you feel when you look at a photograph of a dead relative is real. If reality is unlimited imagination is it not alright to use images and pictures in the mind if they help you connect with God? (Image of jesus/Buddha/Krishna etc.) And I know that this analogy isn't exactly right and I know that gaining direct access to god would be like raising the relative from the dead. But until that happens, surely it's acceptable to use whatever means necessary to gain some kind of experiential connection with god from a picture? Like the starting ground... (If the person can maintain at all times a subtle awareness that the map isn't the territory and there is more). Is it not alright to use images with this in mind? Like at the end of the day we need to have some kind of faith to begin the path to enlightenment and that usually comes associated with some kind of picture, a picture we know we will someday transcend and replace with the real thing.. @Leo Gura Although I might be underestimating the power of mental pictures and their influence in manipulating or warping the mind of the holder of the picture...like this guy's saying Jesus died for our sins. That's clearly not what I'm talking about. The more I think about it, the more I'm starting to realise that a person needs to be quite epistemically skilled to use pictures without becoming too deluded.

Its entire plot and context is moving very overtly in the direction of mystical concepts... reincarnation, mindfulness, mental discipline.. I mean the entire idea of the anamus is predicated on a reality that isn't real. I suppose it's not surprising. The game itself is beautiful, very nice pace, good difficulty calibration...simple, yet profound. It's looking like a winner, and twice as long as mirage. Super polished. Some real meat to sink your teeth into. Everything about it looks good, only played the opening few bits so far.
