@moon777light Oh yeah hahahahaahaha I actually also had to rediscover him.

@d0ornokey I don't know about how mature he really is, but he is talking about legit techniques and he's had many mystical states himself.

@Scholar I did the test on the link @Salvijus sent, I think it is pretty accurate. I am a bidoshac of vatta and kapha. I could see that even in the materials Dr. Kanojia was sharing in one of his videos. I have some traits of both, but primary vatta. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k2B2riKGa5xsbJDMpJpfNa-AqUga-bID/view?ck_subscriber_id=683444876 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R-q7FXmaXqlQK6W3XnMMa1DYgiIU7-fz/view?ck_subscriber_id=683444876

@Vercingetorix Isn't remembering what the Truth is a karmic trap?

@Raptorsin7 Oh yess!

@Yidaki Glad you enjoy it

It's all cool! Can you see how you are not really doing anything, there is just stuff happening and you are making up what it is?

xDDDD

@Shin Sorry I'm undermining your efforts ??

@Shin Oh yessss! That's where you realize that the duality between fap and nofap is illusory and that there is only the Absolute (fill in the blank) with capital (fill in the blank) ?

@Shin Fap - why you shouldn't quit porn & masturbation, because my recovery time is too fast

@exhale You can actually go beyond doing anything.

@Nahm hahahahahahahahahaahahaha Thank you ?

@exhale Oh yes I get you Good question to contemplate... You could say from this perspective that like scientific progress and moral development are more important than babies (this could be questioned with how many kids are needed to become more meaningful to us than the other two, from what level of conscious are we judging etc...), but I am more concerned about the attachment to any of these. It might last longer, but not forever. Maybe I am pointing more towards emotional mastery than towards practicality here... if that makes sense... I resonate with Abraham Maslow's opinion on this very much, I guess I have some sort of human nature and caring for the Universe, which makes thing enjoyable, but maybe I haven't arrived at the final answer yet. It's probably just that when I feel better, I do stuff. And you might maybe look at it from the perspective of transcendence of the story where you see that this is just happening, but still there is this kind of flow that navigates you more towards particular things than some others. Like when you are in love with everything and joyful, you won't go out and hurt people, helping naturally seems like a much better idea. What is your view on this? @Nahm You mean in the relationship between you and your parents / your kids and their grandparents? Could you say that you support anything (maybe not absolutely anything) that arises from them? Hahahahahahaahahaha this sounds so zen devil, but yeh, beautiful <3 Oh yes! I am still confused though about how you manage to do this... Kids these days sometimes feel like they have always been addicted to chocolate and Fortnite, monkey mind, selfish, but have they actually? I wonder what would happen if I would observe a child grow if they were really connected to the Source all their lives... This is inspiring

@Nahm Thank you! Could you elaborate more on what you mean by that?

@exhale No no no, I don't like nihilism much. But I also see that argument that a teaching will live longer as ignorant. When all kids die, all teachings die as well, right.

Yeh without kids there is no teaching to spread And even with kids, the teaching will die, all things will

@4201 I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation with Serotonin. Sometimes it might be the case that you just aren't aware enough to understand what the teacher is saying, for example someone might be too calm, too airy fairy for you, and that's ok, find a better suiting teacher then. But I think that you shouldn't use this as an excuse not to do the practices. Without practices, most teachings will be useless pieces of information that you won't be able to fit anywhere. You have to be honest with yourself about what might be more of an accurate explanation of your situation, it might be something completely different as well. But also Leo suggests that you read/watch/listen to multiple sources, if you only watch him, that might not be sufficient or you might be wasting your time... Good luck on finding that answer that answers it all That's what this is about.

@Nahm Is your parenting style different from how your parents were taking care of you, if they did? How, why?

@danilofaria Anything you do can be taken as a deep spiritual work. If you meditate for twenty minutes but then you play video games for the rest of the day, it is something different as if you were reading, exercising or consciously socializing. The spiritual work can be separated from the rest of what you do, but the thing is, you can grow from doing literally anything, be aware of that.

Maybe you cannot stand his calmness

@docs20 +1 for Fight club @Spiral Wizard Just watch it I guess, but I didn't remember the trailer even though I watched it so I don't know really

@Pacific Sage Thank you for this

I don't have the course, but I can imagine that the exercises there are worth doing. No no no, it's okay. Now you can forget the armchair philosophy, I feel like the armchair philosophy term has more to do with an unpleasant feeling of excess comfort in your body, whereas self-reflection is just being stuck in the world of small self, that is limited by thoughts. This is connected more to seeking than living a life. I just wanted to say that you need to stay vigilant about this self-reflection, because it will create imaginary excuses for you to stay alive as the small self, rather than Love. The doubts are only reasonable in the relative, but their meaning can be thrown away and you can stop resisting. Leo has many videos about the Higher Self I was Leo this question so I can perhaps better understand your situation.

You just think you understand. You can be any kind of thinker, serious, philosophical, scientific, and you can spend days, weeks, months, even years meditating, but self-reflection can always get you. As long as you are self-reflecting, you are trapped. It's not like you understand that much when you're there. By saying that you understand, but it's become so real, you're just giving the problem extra illusory validity, that makes it easier for you to stay in self-reflection. Do you see how you create whether the doubts are real or not? Good to hear Make sure to do the exercises, if you go through them just in your mind, they won't help you @Leo Gura When we are at it, I heard this opinion that it is dangerous to introduce someone, who hasn't yet figured out what even their small self is, to spiritual work. (they probably meant a person in their identity x role-confusion stage of development) I personally think this can be overcome, but I think that Abraham Maslow wrote something in one of his books that when you have a strong ego, (I don't think he meant strong identification, maybe he meant more like maturity, shadow-integration etc...) and you know who you are as a small self, it is easier for you to target your ego and to dissolve it. (or perhaps that you might have less problems with your other values when on the path) I am not a big fan of this approach but I'm interested on your perspective on this as I feel like @Dean Walker, and other people in my social circle might be struggling with this issue.
