Yea you are right. I worked in a psychiatry and there are things happening, that you could call operating animals. But I saw also hope. Sometimes you can sparkle a low light of conscioussness in that people. When you only think of such people as "animals" I think thats cruel. Even a full blown heroin addict is smarter than most animals.. at least he can get his heroin to "survive"

Jesus freaking Christ "I am on one now, dude, you know what I am saying?" He is definitely "one" in that moment.

The most cruel and egoistic people are mostly not loving themselves. How can you care about other people, when you have to manage your inner conflicts all day long? Coping strategies are endless for low selflove. For relatively "normal" people it often looks strange and farfetched. btw. Its not an excuse for anything. I too can hate and be angry. If somebody threatens my familily then this understanding flies out of the window. But you can understand.

Did anybody here contemplated what dreams are? I mean the dreams you have while you sleep. In the sense what function do they have? Why its so surreal and nebulous? I have a Dream Journal, but only 1% of the dreams I have make sense to me. I have heard so many theories about what dreams are. But none of that theories help me to understand my personal ones.

anybody into jazz? btw, are here really people that try to please leo? I thought everybody is here just for the community. To find people that are a little "like-minded" :-D

I lied. I remembered a Song that sets me in a quite contemplative state.

Same here. I could listen all day to music. beeing mega super aware of the music, but contemplating nearly nothing :-D I really need silence for contemplation.. but thats a personal thing i guess. But I am a musician.. can be all day in that music world just for the sake of music listening and playing

the podcast is like a monologue of mine. you leo make bold claims and the other two are my rational mind. its really cool to watch this kind of conversation... i learned sooo much its nice to see that leo is really a human beeing and is a good guy to hang around with. i really love the podcast <3

Such Podcasts are worth much much more than simple teaching videos... both is good.. but its good to see ppl who are sceptical...

Hey. Since is this a off-topic thread I want to share with you a band that really changed my thinking of the Universe. The Faceless. Exactly when this album was released, I was introduced for the first time to the idea, that I am God :-D afterwards somehow magically I started to learn about non-dualistic teachings and the snowball started to roll :-D It was all subconscious in the beginning Have fun with the Songs <3

If this post is worth more than "off-topic", be free to move this thread. I would appreciate it

This video I discovered many years ago, when I started my journey. I just have an urge to share it with you. Sorry if its posted already somewhere here. But maybe some people will appreciate it as well.

Maybe there are good english subtitles

Interesting that you mentioned people like Curt Jaimungal and Alex O'Connor. I like both of them, but I always felt exactly the same as you: that they are way too rational, almost like they’re playing the role of the “rational guy.” I used to think I only felt that way because I’m more of an irrational person, and that I had to somehow catch up to their rationality. But when I think about my brother—who is far more rational than they are—I realize that wasn’t the issue. I was never able to pinpoint why their version of rationality bothered me. Even though I genuinely try to be rational myself, and I have to be rational in my job or I’d lose it, something about it always felt off. You’re the first person who articulated this so clearly that it feels like you put my own thoughts into words. Thanks for your work

Hmm that explains why I see so many latin women here in my h00d. In germany

Thank you

Lately I drew a picture of that happening. Yeah I am not Picasso. But I like it. But it shows how I felt when this beeing was holding me. He was holding me like a puppy

Even this creature didn't looked exactly like that drawing, the first time I saw it, I had a really hard flashback to my lucid dreams with "them".. the eyes were much smaller in my dream

I once had contact with that kind of beings from Varginha in a few lucid dreams. Yeah, maybe it was just a dream, but the first time it happened I didn’t even know about this incident. So maybe it was just subconscious stuff going on… but it stuck in my mind until today. The first time, I was having a "normal" lucid dream. I saw an amazing night sky. I realized I was dreaming and everything was cool. Was stunned that I really woke up within a dream. Everytime its just such an awesome experience. Suddenly something grabbed me from behind and I flew about 50 meters through the air. Then I realized that this being was holding me. It looked at me and didn’t say anything, but it felt like it was thinking: “Wtf are you doing here?” It was like they were surprised. I got so freakin’ excited that I woke up. Maybe it was just a lucid dream, but it was awesome. It really felt like some other entity had entered my dream. (or did I enter theirs?! ) I just dont freakin know. But what I described really happened (in my dream).

I have a idea. I want to meditate together via Webcam.. I think this is fun^^ Is here anybody who is interested?
