Leo you say that life is just a game with no meaning or purpose. I do not understand what that means though. Do you mean that it has no meaning because it doesn't last for very long? What exactly do you mean? For me life is inherently meaningful. If you find yourself baking in the sun while homeless with no water, you would never say something like ''it doesn't matter, it has no meaning". You would not care about whether it has a meaning or not. If just a single person finds an apple significant and valuable then why do you keep saying that there is no meaning? And you have said that the purpose of life is to Love and to awaken to your nature as God. Is that not another meaning/purpose though??

@Sugarcoat I sleep less because my body naturally wakes me up.

@Michal__ I agree. I have more energy than ever before with the tiniest amount of sleep ever. Lol.

@Michael569 Thank you I am just into the momentum of consistently conquering myself and doing the next right thing. The stress indicates that i am pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. I am not crystal clear on what i want but i am pretty clear about it. I have the big picture, and now i need to fill in the details. As for fears i don't experience something signficant holding me back. One 'negative' i could say is that my mind does not believe that Reality can get so good. Lol. Besides introspection what else would you suggest me to do? Just wait for this situation to pass on its own? Should i consider taking any drug?

I find myself not liking the Truth quite a few times throughout the day.. Sometimes i just get tired and overwhelmed by this thing we call Life. I find myself getting tired of constantly worrying about my survival (even though my mind is quite calm and not super active). Living on this planet you go through hell keeping this body alive and you worry all the time about your needs and about all the things you don't wanna experience. Also there are many other things to be upset about like: lovelessness, egotism, arrogance, racism, wealth inequality, wage slavery, all sorts of teribble life situations, rape, decapitation, torture, murder, war, poverty, all sorts of weird diseases, aging, Andrew Tate, Putin, Hitler, Ted Bundy & the list just never ends. A part of me just wishes that i was completely free of all that sh*t. A part of me wishes that i never had to care or worry about anything again. A part of me wishes that i was untouchable by all this. Maybe this is childish .. I don't know. I believe many people turn to Spirituality for a solution to all the stuff i mentioned above. I know that i am Emptiness & i don't even exist. But still there is not denying this dream. You can't non-dual away all the pain and the misery of this dream. I don't know the solution to this problem. I wonder how someone very enlightened & experienced would view and interpret this problem. But even all these so called enlightened masters they are speaking from a place of comfort, health and security. This is easy. If you have tons of money in your bank account and a good life situation it's super easy to act spiritual. That's why i find it hard to personally relate to many spiritual teachers.

@integral I like this question. Yes many times i do. I love walking in Nature

@hyruga It has to do with my original post............

Leo says that there is not one true religion because it's all relative. For the buddhists buddhism is true and for christians christianity is true.. This makes no sense to me . Let's say we only have two religions in the world. And both religions just contain only one statement. Nothing more. One religion states that the earth is round. The other one states that the earth is a square. The first religion states a true statement. The other religion states a bs statement.

Leo said in his Conservative Mind video that most of the human population can't survive because of their dire conditions. This seems pretty bleak, negative and not optimistic at all... & Why would God create such a Universe where most people suffer so greatly?? I don't get it.........................................at all. How do you emotionally cope with things like that? And how can you even love Reality/God when there is so much pain, misery , dysfunction & etc? If your life is good (and i assume most people on this forum have a decent life even if they suffer psychologically) then it's easy to appreciate the beauty of Reality. But when you can't eat or go to the doctor then i guess this Reality seems like a f**** Universal Joke/Farce. And then your tendecy is to adopt the attitude of someone like Charles Bukowski who was pretty nihilistic. This has been my greatest struggle/challenge with non-duality lately and i don't really see noone talking about coping with these emotional issues... I don't understand why. Maybe people are too stuck in their comfort bubbles or too privileged & young to talk about it.

@integral I don't see how basic self-help will ever stop me from fearing and hating things such as torture, rape, decapitations , being buried alive, mexican drug cartel videos & etc.

@001 What is zakat? Everything is God's fault. Everything is God's Will.

@hyruga It could take a long time. You will become wealthy if it's your destiny to do so.

@Yimpa That's a very good example.

@hyruga Ok so i guess you do like torture, rape , beheadings , etc.

@Yimpa Ok so what do you mean then? God doesn't control sh*t then?

@Willie You overlooked my example. Let's say we only have two religions in the world. And both religions just contain only one statement. Nothing more. One religion states that the earth is round. The other one states that the earth is a square. The first religion states a true statement. The other religion states a bs statement.

@Husseinisdoingfine If i verify that the earth is round then no need for any interpreation. The earth is round and that is the end of story. That is what's true.

@Majed I provided an example that you overlooked. The earth being round is not a construct.

@Breakingthewall I do not control it because i am that? What does this mean? I don't understand. Shouldn't God control the game?

@Breakingthewall This is all nice and beautiful. But if you were in such dire conditions as those children you would most likely be pretty pissed off at God (and for a good reason). Same thing would happen if somebody was torturing you to death for hours. You would probably change your mind and really hate God at that moment. You would probably view Reality as something negative if you were under those conditions. I think this says something. Suffering is not negative and i can see its function but this whole thing goes way too deep and i see people suffering horribly for no apparent good reason. This i don't understand and pisses me off.

@Yimpa Yeah ok torture may be pure imagination. And there is value knowing that if you're interested in Truth. But in the practical aspects if you begin experiencing torture it would be such a horrible experience that all your concepts whether it's imaginary or not would not matter to you one single bit... at those exact moments of pure agony, of pure terror . All you would care about is for the torture to end. You would not give a damn whether the torture is imaginary or not. Would make absolutely zero difference to you. I don't see how you can recontextualize torture and things as such. And what difference would this recontextualization really make? I don't practically see anyone overcoming such a fear. It's probably impossible.

@Swarnim Interesting points.

@Ajay0 Humans are run by God. Everything is run by God. God is the only one in charge whether someone ends up becoming a Hitler or a Buddha.

@StarStruck I would feel relieved and not bad at all. BUT still i've never experienced excruciating pain in my dreams. Only psychological. I've never lived through the physical sensations of torture or being buried alive. That's a whole another ballgame.

@Leo Gura I don't understand.. Can you explain the logic behind this? If you said that the positive in all this is that it's only a reality/actuality it would mean the same thing to me... It doesn't make any difference whatsoever whether it's a dream or not. If i buried you alive the fact that it's a dream wouldn't do anything to relieve your misery. Isn't it so?
