@impulse9 I am not glorifying him. He is a special case that needs to be mentioned.

@Carl-Richard I think he already knew that. He just wanted to get some revenge and something to work for. It took him over 7 years of continuous work to fianlly create a good enough bomb to kill people.

I have some limiting beliefs that are rooted in traumatic childhood experiences. I've done affirmations but they don't seem to work. I don't know what should i do. Maybe i need to journal everyday and focus on the opposite of the negative belief for months or even years. I need some practical hands-on advice. This thing has been annoying and ruining the quality of my life for many years. I've managed to raise my self-esteem over the last 4 years and things are much better but still the underlying belief isn't gone yet. It's like it doesn't want to go..

Nietzsche definitely went deep on a lot of topics and he was motivated to do so because his life was very painful. But at the end it seems he got lost inside of his own mind. Maybe the madness was just caused by the syphilis though. Who knows.. If he knew how to quiet the mind from time to time, he would be a much better philosopher.

I like this idea. I'll definitely try this.

@ryangold Meditation has helped me become a lot calmer and more conscious overall but it doesn't help with limiting beliefs and i've been meditating for 4 years now.

Deep breathing with prolonged exhales, meditation (for years) and talking out loud has helped me become significantly more calm over the years. I used to be obssessive compulsive maniac who would analyze everything to death and never be at peace. Now i am one of the most chill and peaceful guys i know even at the face of extreme fear.

Too much knowledge can be painful for sure. But you don't need to distance yourself from it because you are already distant from everything by being the aware presence.

Your body actually does make up for lost sleep by sleeping deeper the next day(s). As for weight loss , exercise is overrated. Unless you are Michael Phelps you won't be burning many calories. Most people realistically don't have the economic comfort to burn more than 500 calories exercising unless you're doing some type of construction work. Those 500 calories are easily negated by eating a double cheese burger on the way home back from work. So intake of food is the most important component of weight loss. Exercise is great for health and i try to walk as much because our bodies were designed to constantly walk and not sit on a pc all day. But my primary tool for weight loss tool is always calorie restriction.

There is always gonna be some misunderstanding.

@Michael569 Do you eat fish or do you avoid it all together? The coffee i drink inside the plastics is always cold by the way. Sometimes i may buy rice which is in a plastic wrapper and you are supposed to boil it with the wrapper lol. I guess that's a bad idea.

When i buy coffee from a shop they put it in a plastic cup and give you a plastic straw. I've seen from Leo's blog that plastics may cause brain damage. I haven't really researched this issue. Although i try to avoid plastics now as much as i can. But you can't really avoid them too much. There are many food items that are always in plastics. Should i avoid plastics in general? Or isn't so much of an issue? I don't know how much of plastic do i really absorb from all these items. Maybe the amount is not significant to really affect me.

Shitty food has tons of calories and releases more dopamine. The brain rewards you MORE for eating a double cheeseburger rather than eating spinach or kale. Why? Because your brain isn't stupid. It knows that you would have to eat 10-20 pounds of spinach in order to survive , plus it would take up all of your time chewing up that spinach. So instead the brain wants you to eat the double cheeseburger which has tons of calories and basically in 5-10 minutes you get all the calories you need for the day. This is why a burger tastes better than spinach. Because it is 'better' for survival. If you want to learn more i highly recommend learning more about the Pleasure Trap.

I've tripped with mushrooms multiple times at medium to high doses. Only once i remember to have been affected in the heart. I remember feeling my heart very tired and somewhat painful. A mild pain, nothing too concerning though and it passed away until the next day. The feeling i got was that i have tripped too hard, experienced too much sh*t and i need to rest. The feeling of tiredness in my heart seemed to me caused more by the psychological work of the trip rather than the mushrooms. I don't know for sure though. Only once has this happned, never else i had a problem.

Is he legit? he offers good advice generally speaking.

God is free of any karma. So in the absolute sense we can say that there is no karma. But in the relative there is defintely karma because every action leads to certain consequences. Some politician who steals money from the goverment creates serious distress to people around him and ultimately he will have to suffer through his own devilry because of non-duality. Not even Buddha can escape karma.

Caring too much about the physical body is a sign of low consciousness. I used to be like that but I realise that it's a stupid game that can't be won no matter what bc your body is deterioration and going straight to the grave. People obsessed with their physical appearance suffer enormously and it's not even funny. I speak from direct experience

What do you think about Arthur Schopenhauer as a philosopher?

@DocWatts Yes and he was also a pessimist. Some of his ideas are very problematic and toxic i think. It doesn't seem that he was the happiest guy around lol.

I think people are judging others by their own standars. Leo does not have the body type to be muscular. Some people are more genetically gifted to have big , nice muscles without even exercising. Leo has been gifted to be more mental and that's where he focuses the majority of his time. If he had different genetics for muscles then he might cared more about having big round muscles. Someone more physically gifted would probably want to enhance more his physique just like a philosopher or knowledge-junkie wants to learn even more. Some people chase more power through the gym while others through the library. They are both egoic activities i think. My point is that people do what they are good at. If you have a nice body and get compliments about it, you'll probably want to enhance that by going to the gym. If you have tons of knowledge and people are impressed by you, you'll probably want to be learning even more. If you are very good at math and people give you compliments about it, that's what you'll pursue. Leo has gotten love and compliments for his mental achievements, not because of his body. He doesn't have motivation to develope a ''nice''(by someones else standards) body.

@Leo Gura Joe Rogan is the type of guy having orgasms watching other people get seriously damaged and injured. a Plus he works for Dana White. The nicest person in the universe who pays 10-20 grand world class atheltes to get in the octagon and risk life-altering injuries. Hey i can't blame him. HGH, gambling and hookers are expensive!!

@Bazooka Jesus Becoming Infninite was the single greatest , most mind-blowing , ''experience'' of my life. Nothing compares or even comes close to becoming Infinite.

John Butler is awesome. He is one of my role models. I hope to be as peaceful and wise as him in my old age. He has been meditating everyday since he was 26.

@Michael569 Because the odds of getting cancer are not looking that good.. 1/2 in women will get cancer and 1/3 in men. He has made some pretty absurd statements. His worldview is purely based on science and he follows a diet where he eats whatever junk food he likes because it fits his macros and doesn't think there is any problem with that because of science. Vegan Gains has made some good points about him in the past. I think he is a good example of scientism and purely a materialistic approach to life.

Death is something very interesting. One part of me really wants to find out what will happen when i die.
