    When you don't know what direction to take, choose the path of the least suffering and the most love.

    Or in other words, choose the path that does the most good. and prevents the most bad.

    Our intentions are what matter. If you do a good deed for the sake of bettering the world (or even bettering one person's day) then you are sharing love ten-fold.

    Your intention to do good will affect others and create a cascading effect. You never know how much love a single simple act of kindness can share.

    Yes. All (not just 2) people in your dream are also individuated points of consiousness co-creation that dream as you do this current waking dream.

     

     

     

    And consiousness doesn't "create"

    Consiousness IS Reality

    Consciousness = Reality.

     

    Okay, this makes sense. =)

    Do either of you have any resources you could share that go deeper into this idea?

    I'm fascinated by the idea of reality being created by your consciousness.

    Are dreams just as "real" as "reality"? Do they simply exist on a different plane of reality, also created by your consciousness?

    Can two people share the reality of one dream as we share the reality of "real life"?

    Is "real life" simply a plane of reality that is experienced outside of even another "reality" of which we don't have memories of in this reality?

    What are your thoughts on consciousness and reality?

    There's a practice I've been doing lately and it has really been helping improve my conversations.

    I have always been a bit socially awkward, having difficulty maintaining "normal" eye contact and whatnot. Since I've been trying this practice, I've noticed a definite improvement.

    The idea is to have definite positive thoughts about whoever you're talking to during the conversation.

    For an example - you're talking to a coworker about their weekend and while it's their turn to talk, you form a positive thought in your head about them. Like, "you're really a sweet person" or "I always love your attitude".

    Something simple, true, and positive.

    I've noticed that since I started doing this that my eye contact has improved. My responses to whatever they say are more positive and constructive. I smile more. My general aura seems to improve and I have better conversations.

    Of course make sure to actually listen to whatever the person is saying (this is always very important) but try to slip a positive thought in here and there.

    How do I say "no" to the devil's offer of wealth and power?
    What are you talking about?  Kinda cryptic.

    I remind myself that the present moment has all the power there is.  You can go for wealth or power if you want to, if that happens to be where you're at right now.  No need to limit yourself, if I am understanding the situation correctly.  

    Sorry I guess it was a bit cryptic.

    I mean basically - how can we keep strong when we're put in situations of temptation? Situations in which we can satisfy our greed for power/wealth at the cost of our own morals.

    How can we continue to deny ourselves when the "reward" for going against your morals is really big?

    Interesting! What kind of prayer? Any particular religion?

    I believe that God is a sentient, omnisciente, and omnipotent being that listens to us. So I talk to him and I believe he listens. I don't like religion though

    Life constantly kicks you down and then the devil says "I'll help you up and even higher for a tiny piece of your soul".

    What are some ways to encourage yourself to keep getting back up on your own and keep saying no to the devil's offer of wealth/power?

    I know it gets easier the more you say no - also prayer has helped me a lot. What do you do to combat the temptation of taking the easy way out?

    Amazing video. It's sad how they make this so impossible with drug laws.

    I was pretty hardcore hooked on benzos (which were legal) for years and tried many times to get off of them and wasn't able to. I then got a bunch of LSD (which was illegal) and used it in conjunction with a taper plan I found online and have been off of them for about 6 months with absolutely no desire to get back on it.

    So backwards.

    What you get and can achieve in life is all dependent on your genetics. Take for example your bone structure, that will determine how well you will do in getting a wife and being liked by others. we cannot all be Brad Pitt.Then if you are physically strong you will have so much more advantages over more weaker, beta males. Who has all the power? Alphas. 

    I find it funny how recently I mentioned how your authority is only as good as your genetics and then Leo goes and makes a whole video on it.

     

    This seems like a pretty closed minded way of thinking.

    I think there are many people that achieve great things from every gene pool.

    I know that we communicate in so many more ways than just words and body language. Our eye contact communications volumes.

    If you're feeling a certain way during eye contact, the other person will feel it - whether or not they understand it.

    A practice I do that I think would help - try to make positive thoughts, like "wow you have pretty eyes." or "you're actually a lot of fun to be around" in the middle of eye contact and those thoughts will always transfer over as feelings.
