This is just a narrative and can be let go. There is really no need for holding it. This too. It implies causality, some kind of a logic or story behind "the dream".

Perhaps So if a thing can be let go, it's obviously not spirituality, or true nature. Instead, maybe something else that is just mistaken as true, or spiritual.

I don't think that's what most are doing at all. I believe most are afraid to let go their neuroticism and unhappiness, because they think there exists a need for holding such patterns.

That wasn't a very good blog post. Feeling is guidance. No thing is more directly available and... Well, felt. In feeling, there is no survival, no ego, no good or bad. In fact, I'm gonna go 180°. Narratives about survival, ego, illusions and biases, is avoidance of feeling, and truth. But you don't have to take my word for it. Just allow feeling and let it guide you. You will see. This is direct. Narratives of survival, bias, ego, is not.

Then why are you talking? Projection.

Wat? No, that's just the political compass chart. Anyways, yeah. Rogan on it again. There has never even been a true liberal left society. That post is just nonsense. And that "weak men" stuff is quite alarming, if you are familiar with neo-fascism. And Kali Yuga is projection. All such religious ideas are really just projection of fear, guilt and shame.

I've come to see that the lucid dream collapses when you go "against it". Meaning, you try to get some specific result. The moment you become lucid, just relax. Feel into your body and don't swim against the current. Let go. You don't need to control it.

You are making a distinction between "something" and "nothing". That distinction cannot have any reality to it whatsoever. What exactly is the distinction of something/nothing "made of"? What is it? Where it is? Is it something, or nothing? If the distinction is something, then by definition "nothing", is something. If the distinction is nothing, then there is no distinction. There is no thing. There isn't something rather than nothing. In This, there is no logic, no function, no distinction, no thing.

How important it is that in basic breathing meditation, your back is not touching a surface? A half-lotus asana feels quite uncomfortable, because my legs are not that flexible, and I can't really relax into the position. A kneeling bench is okay for the legs and back, but it makes breathing not as deep and relaxed. So is it okay just sit in an armchair, breathing an relaxing? Is there an actual reason why people emphasize the importance of back not touching a surface?

"God", "Tao", "Absolute", "Love", "Truth" "Obvious"

Leo was a great introduction. But I'm not really listening to him anymore. Nowadays I'm unwiring what I learned from him, leaving only what serves. Today it's CwG, Abraham Hicks, Nahm, and just intuition and feeling into the moment. And I'm hoping at some point I will unwire most of this nonsense. Getting quite sick of it. Then it's probably just meditation.

So... What about fear then? You mean it has nothing to do with this Truth-Spirituality stuff? That it has no reality, no reason, no function, literally nothing nowhere ever? We think it's something, and something needs do be done about it, when it's really nothing, and nothing needs to be done?

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Why are you looking for enlightenment? Why are you on this forum, watching videos, taking mushrooms? What do you want?

Just stay away from the Romans and you'll be fine jk Not to be a dick, but you are probably not as important as you may think. I mean this in a good way, meaning not important enough to be assasinated.

@Gesundheit2 What makes you think this 'surviving' is not actually fun for those girls? How do you feel about this sexual potential, survival and social hierarchy - narrative? Have you been having lots of fun lately, or is this survival stuff perhaps made you feel a bit down and unworthy?

People do respond well when you are being authentic and feeling good about yourself and your life. If you think you are awesome, attractive, worthy and good, you will find intimacy. There is no need for these games.

I don't think people should be talking about if he is guilty or not. What should be talked about is what the actual fuck is a teenager boy doing with assault rifles, thinking they are protecting businesses during protests? Think about how insane that is. The entire social system is responsible for these deaths. A 17-year old boy should not be carrying assault rifles. Not even pistols. Of course people are gonna freak out when they see a teenager carrying a death machine during unrest. Look at that image.

I have to bring this up. Leo, I think you should pay attention more on how you say certain things. Above, your words seem to convey that 5-MeO or other psychedelics would be the only way to experience Infinity and such mystical insights. "Of course others are bullshitting or just conceptualizing." I get that you hold psychedelics as one of the best tools for mystical insight, but it is not the only one, and I think you should see how some people might go for psychedelics too deep and too early when they see you saying stuff like this.

Abraham Hicks.

Words like "transpersonal" "integral" or "holistic" might help you find what you're looking for.

@en-el hak This might be simply that you know who you don't want to be (your father) and thus when you are with women, this "I don't want to be like my father" comes to mind as these images. You might resist becoming a violent person so much that the subject of violence slips to your mind when you meet women. I don't see anything dangerous here. I assume these kinds of unwanted thoughts and images happen to most of us at times. Sometimes we push certain thoughts away so much that it actually strenghtens them.

Is it just an image in your mind, or is there any desire or drive to actually do so? Do you feel aggression?

@SQAAD Do you see that you could completely let go your thoughts about all these horrible things you believe are happening and could happen to people? Do you see that "murder", "mexican cartels", "war" and "torture" are thoughts, images appearing right here and now, and that you could completely let go any reality you give to these thoughts? Why would you be thinking about stuff that makes you feel bad? You probably have some kind of philosophy. "I need to think about this because otherwise I would be in denial, that's selfish and egoic" "I need to think about it because it can happen to me, I need to be ready." Do you really want to think about this stuff, or do you think there is something to gain in doing so? That there is a need in your existence, and if you don't fulfill this need, you might somehow fail?
