@Yarco It's not something to brag about and that's not a matter of debate if you realise the truth of no personal agency, no free will. Nobody would say that i am proud to be 6 feet tall because you didn't do that. It just happened for you. Same goes for everything. If you work 10 hours a day, you don't really do anything. You are just witnessing a movie. If you are born with ridiculous levels of consciousness like Ramana Maharshis, that just happened for you. In this sense we all have the same value. Despite the differences which some are superior than others for survival. There are superior differences relatively but a person or an entity can never claim to be superior than another entity since they both did nothing to have what they have. In other words I can claim to be smarter or taller than you but I can't claim to be a better human being than you. That would be delusional.

@peanutspathtotruth Yes i agree with you. The brutality and the ridiculous levels of pain and suffering can make you appreciate life even more. Personally i don't take ANYTHING for granted anymore because i have lived through some tragedies the last couple of years. In the back of my mind i am always ready for the worst. I expect calamities and things going terribly wrong because that's life. Otherwise I am fooling myself. When we make plans, God is laughing at us. Life on this planet ain't a walk in the park. It has a seriousness to it that you can't ignore.

Life can go wrong for everybody. Being wise and knowledgeable helps. But it is not a guarantee. Life is really a challenge and you can destroy the average person very easily. A health scare Or an illness can derails anyones life. It's easy to be happy when things go your way. When you have your Internet connection, money in the bank account etc. Take all of that and many will commit suicide even if they are conscious. Most people I know are super privileged. They have no idea how terrifying life can become. And the challenges they have faced are childs play. Tomorrow you may get a cancer diagnosis or become paralysed . That can completely destroy your life or not. Some people can't endure too much suffering. Only the strong make it.

@Medhansh Yes in the relative sense we can compare and claim that X person is wiser or taller or whatever else. But also you could look everyone as having the same intrinsic value. Meaning that if i am stronger or smarter than you that's not actually something i should brag about. For example the reason Elon Musk is so gifted is because his parents were exceptionally gifted. He did not do anything to earn that. Of course i consider him more gifted than me. That's not the issue. If Elon was born in some other country with different parents he would not be who he is now. Despite the underlying differences we all have the same worth because of no free will and oneness. Nobody really can brag or take ownership of his attributes and skills. Its just a matter of luck. I am more conscious than the average Joe but this is because i was lucky and stumbled upon spirituality and psychedelics. Therefore I don't consider myself intrinsically as better than others.

World Peace is possible in a society where almost everyone is advanced and conscious as Leo, Vishen Lakhiani, Deepak Chopra, Shunyamurti and etc. That's a tall order to fill but in 3. 000 years we could definitely get there. First we would have to identity as global citizens of this Earth. When we start seeing ourselves as Earthlings and not as Americans, Greeks and all this sort of crap this will eventually change everything. We need everyone on this planet Stage Green and above for World Peace.

@Ananta What do you mean that the Self has no perspective? Can you elaborate please? I thought the Self was all possible perspectives..

@Ananta Interesting!!

@Ananta Yes but that enlightened person would still be reborn. I don't think you can stop rebirth. Some say Buddha achieved the end of all rebirths but i don't buy that.

@happyhappy It depends on how you define what 'perfect' is. You don't see humans as perfect because you are comparing them with a figment of your own mind. Fantasy will always be better than reality. Of course. Because in your fantasy everything is as your ego wants. But you could see also that humans are an expression of Perfection. If you stop judging and comparing...

@Khan 0 Leo has said that that this exact moment has been existing forever. If this is true I can see myself living this life over and over again forever.

@Ananta What would happen if the liberation variable was true. What would be the actual difference between a liberated person dying and an asleep person dying?? It seems to me there would be no difference at all.

If you take life too seriously you will suffer enormously because many many things won't go your way. If you don't take life seriously at all then again you will be having problems stemming from your lack of commitment and involvement. Personally I don't take my life too seriously. Its very short. Full of things I cannot control. I know it's ending soon so I put it in proper context. I take my life seriously enough to care for it but not too much that I freak out about it. I am always ready for cancer and whatever else bs because that's life. You may have to deal with many unpleasant things no matter what. I can't take the brutality of life too seriously otherwise I start losing my mind.

Right now I am 'having' my own bubble of Perception. How can i possibly know if Leo for example is having his own personal bubble of experience simultaneously? Personally i assume that at this moment there are billions of people each one of them having their own experiences. Leo denies the bubbles of others and claims his experience as the only one and Absolute (from what I have understood ) . But how can you ever find out if others are having their own independent experiences or not? This all seems like something you can never find out.

@Nahm If I were to say that there are no elephants in my room that would not be a belief if there are no actual elephants in my room. But it is different if I were to say that there are no elephants in the entire universe. That would be a belief. Either you believe others exist or not is a belief. How could you possibly ever verify it and know such a thing? It seems like an impossibility.

@The Lucid Dreamer ''My own'' bubble of experience exists though and i assume that ''you'' are having your own bubble of experience at this moment.

@Tim R I would say both statements are true.

@Nahm Others bubbles not existing is also a belief then.

@Terell Kirby I am not referring to any ''I'' in particular. Just to the experience of existence itself.

Why Reality has to be so brutal and scary at times? Couldn't the design be different? What is the point of getting tortured in the most horrific way possible by some Mexican drug cartel or what is the point of getting abducted and raped in your way back home as a 9 year old schoolgirl. This is all senseless suffering. Pure misery. Horror movies with a sad end. Personally i am a very sensitive person and have been deeply affected by the senseless brutality around me. Also i have watched gore content which can make you despise God. This brutality , this harshness of life maybe shows that God doesnt really give a damn about our well being which is scary. Reality is so brutal that its not even funny.

@Seraphim If God is allowing this epic levels of torture and pure misery then thats bad news. I don't care if God loves or not torture, epic misery and etc. I don't like it. Nor anyone else. Thats the problem right there. Life on this planet is not a walk in the park. Just the opposite.

Leo has made some contradictory claims on his videos. On instances he has said 'you think you are a human' and on other occasions he has stated how we are so limited by this body and can't love like God. From my experience I am a limited human being or it would be better to say that I have always been aware of a limited human body is with me wherever I go. (deep sleep would be an exception). Any Opinions about this?

@peanutspathtotruth What do you mean by saying that there is nothing substantial in the feeling of the body? By saying that the body is constant i mean that its more constant than pretty much any other object in my perception. I always have felt and seen my body. Its always with me unlike a chair or something else.

@Gili Trawangan When meditating i have tasted this sense of emptiness. Felt like i was an empty canvas. It's really freeing to be nothing in particular for a while.

@peanutspathtotruth Saying that you're a human makes a lot of sense since your body is always with you. The toilet sink, houses, bridges and other people are not. Your body is the only constant thing that you can't get rid of and always stays with you. This is why materialists believes that they are a human body & I can't blame them for that. It's the logical conclusion to make (I'm not saying its right necessarily).

@Matthew85 What is my true identity?
