SQAAD

I just read Leo's last post. Personally I take turmeric powder and I live in Greece. Should I keep taking it? I'm confused...

This video suggests that dairy is actually 'pretty darn healthy for you'. But i've heard all sorts of things on the internet. There have been many ridiculous claims made about dairy. The guy in the video has a PhD in Nutrional Sciences so i give him a lot more authority than other fools on the internet.

@Opo Thank you!

@Nahm Thank you bro. ?

Schopenhauer says that life is inherently without worth. Is that true?

@iboughtleosbooklist I have recorded videos of myself every day for 10 months straight. It's definitely worth it. You notice certain patterns that you wouldn't notice otherwise and you gain life changing insights. Recording your self is a form of self observation.

Interesting post. I've had some paranormal experiences myself in the past which have left me puzzled and confused. I think there is definitely something to this.

I have little fear of death in general. Even when my heart hurts I don't get terrified of dying. I am very afraid of illness though bc of all the suffering and discomfort associated. The moment when you realise that you are indeed definitely gonna die, that will be the true test of how much you fear it or not. To me death is a liberating thing. I like my life but I don't freak about losing it. I don't view this incarnation as something that should never end. Just the opposite. Death will free me from this life into the unknown which is kinda scary and cool.

@JayFueel A serial killer is a product of environment and circumstances. Its hard to say that anyone chooses to be evil. The truth is that some people have had a really really really shitt* life with abuse and neglect which turns them into monsters. There are no evil people There are only miserable people that can't help themselves spreading that misery everywhere. Imagine that serial killer and how his innocence was stolen from abuse when he was younger.

@JayFueel @JayFueel Many of the things Leo talks about can be confirmed. Take a strong psychedelic and see.

@JayFueel Anything that is not happening in my direct experience right now is a story. It could be a valid story or not. If you were talking about Alexander the great that would also be a story. I believe Jesus and Buddha probably existed. Sometimes myself I pray to Buddha bc it makes me feel good. I don't get too attached to the story though. Because I don't know how accurate it is or not. I think it comes down to a matter of preference. The reason I prefer Buddha is bc his story resonates more with me. I am willingly create the duality between me and Buddha bc I feel like I need the help from someone above me. I don't feel ready to collapse that duality.

@JayFueel I don't know if you are just trolling or not lol. But it would be insane to me that you follow Leo's work and you seem so attached to your stories. This work is about direct experience and not belief.

Nice trip report. Enjoyed reading it.

@JayFueel We could say that Reality embraces rape but not us. We as limited humans can't accept rape and other things which cause staggering levels of suffering.

@JayFueel Those are stories.

Will God Punish you if you end up killing yourself? By 'Punish' I mean maybe you'll just be reborn into similar shi**y situations just so you will overcome em in this reincarnation. It seems to me that this life will affect the quality of my next life..

The ego has no control over Reality. I get that. But let's put the ego aside. If I am the creator of the entire universe I would expect to have some insane mind boggling powers and being able to create anything I desire with nobody limiting me. Instead of that I find myself being a human with 0 free will. I find myself being the character of the video game instead of the creator of the video game. Basically it's like I am God and not God at same time. This is how it feels like. Will I ever actually start creating stuff and being more involved into the creative process of God? All of that part seems hidden from us. I want to experience being God proper and not just a character.

@Thought Art l Amen to that!

@Craigxt22 Ahahaha I can relate. Don't do it man. Your life still has hope otherwise you wouldn't be still alive. Best strategy is improving our lives so we never end up in a terrible situation where we act out from pure desperation. It's tough but hey we are all on the same boat Life is always beautiful despite its super shitt* and uncomfortable aspects.

Interesting thread. I can relate with your post.

@lmfao Personally I don't really want to ever kill myself because I love life despite the enormous struggle. Generally I don't have suicidal thoughts But when my life gets really really bad then my mind considers suicide as a viable option. I prefer to outgrow my problems and not give up. Still though there is a breaking point. If you pass it then you can end up killing yourself no matter who you are. People don't understand that those who end up killing themselves are extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely desperate. Your body has this self preservation instinct. It doesn't easily let you end your life. The desperation has to be so severe just so you can override your self preservation instincts.

@Terell Kirby Most times suicide comes from lack of Love but not always. If you end up in a super super extreme shitt* situation with not much hope left then suicide is your only way out. You can end up killing yourself even if you love yourself just bc the suffering is too much to handle and all hope is lost.

Check Thomas Keating centering prayer on YouTube . He was a Christian mystic who recently passed away. Prayer is definitely a spiritual practice helping you connect with God. I usually pray when things get really bad. I just do it to feel better. I don't care if the prayer will manipulate reality.. Prayer shouldn't be so much about scheming to manipulate reality but more about spiritual connection. There are many many different types of prayer. If you find it enjoyable and beneficial keep doing it.

@SelfHelpGuy Basically is Like God is very fair but extremely Brutal. He will give you what you deserve. If you continue being a devil you will suffer enormously just because you will be creating your own misery. And God won't save your a**. He will let you suffer until willingly you change your old ways. It's extremely brutal because God will let you go to the depths of hell if you wish to. He won't stop it. But let's not forget the Goodness. There are always signs from God. And we all know sometimes how to end the suffering but we continue our old ways regardless until we are forced to change by too much pain. Pain is another way Goodness is expressed.

@SelfHelpGuy I think fear can be a really good motivator but it has been associated with negative things. I agree with the idea of positive motivators such as Love. But many times the best motivator, the only motivator that works in certain situations is extreme fear. Tell a cigarette addict that he has a serious health condition and watch him transform instantly. As for the death part, I agree with you on some level. When I awaken though I realise that this righ here is death. We are already dead.
