Never underestimate Joseph Maynor, he may announce leaving the forum, then be inactive for a while, but he's still online and sooner or later he'll come back to the comment section and behave as if nothing had ever happened. I guess he's also following this debate right now. If so, hello Joseph! ✌? Edit: As a tribute to him, I have also edited my post lol

We must believe in free will, we have no choice.

@Leo Gura Will there come a new refreshed video on free will in the near future? Maybe that would answer some questions, because this topic seems to be constantly coming up in this forum.

Health means that your body, mind and spirit are in total balance.

A shaman is someone who swims in the same ocean as the schizophrenic, but the shaman has thousands and thousands of years of sanctioned technique and tradition to draw upon. Terence McKenna

How can it be that consciousness creates the brain and not vice versa, if someone loses consciousness, when he has brain trauma?

@mandyjw On the one hand, I think that you have to cope on your own and not depend on social contacts to be content and happy. When I look at the society, I only see lonely and dissatisfied people who sacrifice everything in order to gain affirmation in order to increase their own self-esteem. But that's just distraction and does not solve the basic problem. On the other hand, it would of course be nice if you could talk to like-minded people. Ultimately, I do not want to blame anyone, because everyone is right where they need to be in their development ...

Berlin definitely has a good vibe. I'll be back soon and I'm looking forward to it. You can really feel it.

I know that feeling, too. Whenever I try to talk about spirituality my parents think I'm crazy. I showed my mother Leo's videos about enlightenment and she got really mad about it and said I should better get some friends or a better job and gain more money instead of wasting my time. Indeed, really sad. It's nearly impossible to share these things with your friends or family if they are still stuck in their dream world.

People are too busy with themselves to think about other people for more than 5 seconds.

I work in a tea shop.

Maybe a bit off topic but I would be interested to know why someone drinks cow's milk, but finds it disgusting to drink milk from other animals like dogs, cats or camels for example? Where is the difference? Personally I don't consume any dairy.

@Serotoninluv My pleasure ✌️

Crazy synchronicity, an hour ago or so I was asking myself the exact same question. Anyway, John Lennon changed a lot through the years. I think at the beginning of his career his main priority was to become rich and famous (orange). After achieving this goal, he got depressed and became very introspective, because the success didn't heal his childhood traumas. When discovering cannabis and LSD for himself, he eventually got into spirituality, meditation, sang about peace and love, etc. (green). This is just about his life in the 60s, the 70s were also life-changing for his development but I don't go into it too much now. In the end, his whole life was an up and down, I would find it inappropriate to put him in just one category although green would be the best fit if you had to choose one stage.

@Schahin I've heard the same, the video is bound to come soon! I'm curious, too

@Gili Trawangan I don't believe in a physical objective reality but that doesn't necessarily mean that solipsism is true even if we are all one. I know that right now I am consciously sitting here reading your sentences and writing my response and I could never ever prove it to you.

Do wet dreams during nofap count as relapses? I mean they do not arise through a conscious decision but it's still an ejaculation. Whenever I try no fap it happens after 6 or 7 days, mostly I lose my motivation afterwards to continue nofap.

Which book were you reading? I don't have the list but maybe you could just make an exception and name the title of this book.

5g mushrooms would definitely be better

Is rebirth independent of the previous life or is it possible to leave behind signs that show you who or what you were in your last past life in order to complete your mission? For example in my case I once had a vision that I'm a famous person who was killed because I was born on the exact day when this person died. But this might be delusional psychotic thinking, I don't know. By the way mental illness led me to spirituality so there's definitely a connection in my opinion.

Very good idea

nice 'coincidence'

@Leo Gura Did you just admit that you suddenly believe in free will? I am confused now.

In the end we all just want to be loved and accepted, independent of any projections ❤️✌?
