heres my collage for people who question authority:

i dont need photos i just have as many mirrors dotted around my house as possible

just like psychedelics there is massive potential for harm in porn. highly developed minds might not see the potential, but holy shit...ch1dr3nexposed to porn for example (common) is very bad. there are so many ways it can be bad. it should be treated like a legalised drug. not illegal but extremely carefully managed

lol here, yous do realise that this whole donald trump thing is happening because people are tired of political correctness? (im well aware that i am not learned enough within this remit to talk authoritatively about politics, especially USA politics)...but yo, i mean, im not a fan of political correctness myself. would it not be fair to say that a shake up of the system might even bring about the climate for a reconsideration of policies and governing methodologies after the donald is gone? like the ones leo suggested in his conscious politics series? like i dont think there can be massive reform and systemic adjustment (of the prison system in USA for example) without something to shock the system into change. also seeing as reality is a self adjusting system that moves itself inevitably towards perfection, there is no way the universe isint trying to tell us something here

no

depends which now your talking about...smoke 20mg of you know what and then your now will be...significantly, closer lol ;0

women are naturally less authoritarian because of biological factors. men have hormones that make them naturally more inclined towards obtaining dominance. dominance of a country, dominance of money, dominance of knowledge...hence why you typically see less women in positions of power. This naturalistic phenomena is being combated in professional settings in the name of equality but spirituality is not a professional setting (or it is, but it isint recognised as such) and its less formally structured...meaning that nature has more control, so you'll likely see far far less female spiritual teachers (of what i call "true, off the deep end, enlightenment"). in this area, nature is mostly unchallenged.

i like the hexagonal manifestation of temporarily crystalised hydrogen and oxygen particles: theyre my friends lol

its a good job there only is one square

in absolute terms? i donttttttt think so, everything is ultimately perfect, even hitler. but i see what yout saying and yes...especially with psychedelics, just like any extremely powerful tool, you need to be very careful with them because (while they wont cause you to overdose) you can get some seriously bad experiences. It can go very badly and continue going very badly lol. it takes skill and poise and a degree of cleverness and mastery to navigate psychedelics. one small example of it going wrong in a completely unpredictable way is: you tell all your friends about the wonders of psychedelics so they start using them and getting into trouble at parties when they mix it with alcohol, Then think "well ive tried drugs now lets see what else im now able to do" and start trying mdma or ketamine (addictive) frequently or sure lets try some cocaine...sure its all just "drugs" and i do drugs now. There are many many many ways it can go wrong when psycs are used without wisdom. One simple piece of wisdom (as an example) is recognising when psycs and spiritual practises are going too far too fast...you want to bend, not break. another analogy in understanding egoic and mental strain (as some strain is expected and normal) its like working out a muscle, you want to intuitively feel the difference between good pain (that breaks the muscle down in preparation for growth later) or bad pain (that is pulling tendons and ligaments or tearing the muscle)

@Inliytened1 its difficult cuz there also is a distinction lol. the distinction is actually super important to realise at a certain point. its real, as an illusion

i cried today lol

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this I definitely think some people here might appreciate it. I know its extrapolated and limited but its 30 minutes of inspirational space visuals in 4k, cool for a trip or something: absolutely stunning

yeah bro dont attack the grand master like that. Leo (jokes aside), i think i represent a notable percentage of people here in saying that a video or series on taste or masterful appreciation of any area of life would go down a treat. This is especially considering the fact that, after one becomes extremely materialistically successful and even enlightened...there has to be something for the mind to continue doing to occupy itself. Just like your appreciation and taste for african artifacts and nature, I'd like to learn how to be a person with taste, and character. my observation of art (painted, drawn, manufactured, natural, social, philosophical and other.) is that it is very similar to existence (obviously beauty being a component within metaphysics). Art has no objective "point", and neither does existence. Art is created for pure pleasure, so is existence. Art is made with the design that *you* as the observer develop your connection to it to give both you and it a sense of purpose, the same could be said of existence. Reality and art have many similarities and areas of synonymous overlap. could be a cool video

actually Leonardo Da Vinci made it

@Davino no idea

bro...haha...WHAT?

yeah its cool @Leo Gura. Bro, hope your well. Your work continues to change and inspire my life. Your a complete legend and a beautiful being <3

one massive trap when contemplating this topic is disregarding the mind/imagination or worse, rejecting the mind/imagination. This is big big trap. I fell into it for years thinking i was avoiding delusion. Trying to be some rigorous spiritual elite refusing to even use my mind like a buddhist. This is of course a valid method but for starters its weak (just use psycs) and secondly [when done correctly] its entire purpose is to be used sparingly as a launch pad for the mind to be used in ever greater capacities! The buddhist idea that all you should do is just clear the mind at ever increasing rates of crystalline clarity and just keep it there until you die...could be comparable to someone cleaning a blank canvas over and over and over again....the point of the canvas is to make something beautiful on it. and thats where the imagination comes in...the diverse and colourful force of beauty and expression of love, grace and freedom...fragrant and elegant. Breaking free from spiritual strictness and dogmatic rigidity. Aw. fucking beautiful imagination is actually imagination. Actuality is imaginative actually.

.

if you look carefully at someone or something you really love, what you will discover is that the actual sensation of love literally is a letting go of yourself (your own importance) its a lack of distinction between you and that thing. there is no you and it...there is just you/it
