Time is an illusion? But if you give up the illusion, will you have Everything or will you have Nothing? Are you going to be successful when you have Everything and need Nothing? Are you going to be successful when you have Nothing and don't need Everything?

This is a play based on a book. Its a re-enactment of what Socrates could do if he came back. It is funny and informative. Socrates meets Jesus.

Trump is orange on the outside. That is how he fools people. But how can someone lower on the spiral deceive someone who is higher on the spiral? Bolton must have some aspects of Red or Trump some aspects of Orange.

Can you have Everything and Nothing at the same time? If Everything is Nothing, and Nothing is Everything, then what is time?

You can read movies? I usually watch them. What are your favorite movies/directors?

THIS. Your sexual preferences could change. At some point in time, you could be into big asses, and later you might be into donkeys.

The possibilities are endless!

If you are afraid of heights as an example, you must start climbing higher and recognize that your fear was irrational. The more you keep climbing, the more your fears dissolve. When you get to the highest peak, you will look at your fears and laugh. So you must identify your fears, and face them slowly.

@John Iverson On a subconscious level, you are equivocating Love with Sacrifice. You believe that if you Sacrifice your standards of beauty, mental health, personality, etc, you will show your greatest Love. The more you lower your standards, the more you sacrifice yourself, the higher your Love would be according to your perception. But the only thing that you can never sacrifice is Love. Love is Love, not a sacrifice. Love is not sacrificed, only given. If you can't give it, don't sacrifice it.

Think of the path to enlightenment as a ladder that rises to the heavens. On the ladder, there are many steps and each step brings you closer to the top. Climbing up involves mastering each step. One step might be meditation, so you should get good at it before you proceed to climb higher. Another step might be becoming financially independent, so you must become independent before you climb higher. As you keep climbing and getting better at things, your fears dissolve slowly. If you skip steps, there is a risk that you might fall from the ladder, so you must be careful not to skip important steps. After some years, when you have climbed high enough and many fears have been resolved, you will start to question your fear of death. Only when you resolve the fear of death, you will awaken.

I am not a gamer. In the past decade, I have played only two games and both of them blew my mind. Game #1. LIMBO Game #2. INSIDE Both games start without any instructions, much our real life. As you go through the games, you must find clever ways to survive and escape traps. The art in both games is absolutely amazing, so even if you are not a gamer, you should play them for artistic purposes. If you know games similar to these, feel free to recommend them.

After having some non-dual experiences that broke my conceptualizations of reality a few years ago, last year I stumbled onto a bald guy on youtube whose videos helped me re-contextualize my experiences. Don't remember the exact first video I saw, but probably it was one describing some psychedelic states.

No fall is safe. To be willing to fall you must give up safety. If you never fall, you will be locked in a safe forever.

@Bazooka Jesus Jesus! Fire the bazooka. I am losing my way with the words. Expansive is expensive. Do you know what is the greatest Freudian slip? Freud was in love with his own mother but was unwilling to admit it. Instead, he came up with the Oedipus complex and projected that all male children are in love with their mothers. Doesn't that sound slippery to you?

I think the question could be worded differently. Every model of reality is ultimately false, but some models are useful. Reality is the ONLY TRUE MODEL OF ITSELF. If you seek to categorize people based on certain traits, and your subjective experience of reality reinforces your model, then you have a useful model. If your categorization is invalidated through subjective experience, then you have a useless model. You decide what is useful and what is useless.

Free will cannot be explained through negation, so the wording seems a bit off. You can nuance for yourself if I asked yourself one simple question: Did you have a choice in having free will? Contemplate.

If Light has a color, what color would it be? If Light is invisible, how does it make everything visible? Try finding a prism and shine some light on it. In the reflection of the light, you will see that the Light is composed of all the visible colors of the rainbow, as well as all the invisible colors. Every Light has Orange light if seen through the right eye. Well, through the left eye also. @legendary lol. That is legendary.

A buck for the whole universe? That's too expansive man. Get Real

When God was creating the world, he could have given HIMSELF EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. But, that seemed unwise. Instead, he chose to create A SELF and OTHERS. The OTHERS would give the SELF everything he needed until the SELF becomes FULFILLED. That seemed wise. As long as THE SELF needs OTHERS, there will always be OTHERS to fulfill HIM.

I found a summarized version of his podcast. Here it is...

You don't have to do them. Read more books, mediate. Maybe in a few years when you have improved your living situation, then you can try them.

concept = concept That is clear and concise. Everything is a definition of itself. To further define the meaning of a word, you must use other words. These other words should give you an approximation of its meaning but never its definition.

You have to know algebra to understand calculus. If you don't understand algebra, you will never understand calculus. There are certain prerequisites to knowledge. If Leo doesn't cover them he would lose most of the people in the advanced topics. The main purpose of his videos is to inspire you. If it makes you emotional, you are attaching too much value to his words. Don't do that. You can assume that everything Leo has ever said is wrong. Try to think for yourself to prove yourself right. Only then you will have less Dogma and more Truth.

Are you sitting during mediation or laying down? I usually do a long meditation in the morning and a shorter one before going to bed. Try to vary the times of day when you meditate.

Not conscious = no head Little conscious = many thoughts inside the head More conscious = fewer thoughts inside the head Most conscious = no head
