Pantheism > Atheism I know because I have been both an atheist and a pantheist. How could you not feel the power, sacredness, and mystery of existence and your connection to it when you are solitary in nature?

@Lana Faye Psychiatric meds can be useful short term. But they will eventually further destroy your body and mind long term. Find a way to get out of meds. Have a strategic plan. This is the fight of your life which will take many years (3 years to a lifetime) to win. Seriously implement the basics first: long, deep sleep; eat variety of organic foods; exercise at least 3 times a week, better to take long walks in nature alone and with others (jogging also ok); surround yourself with loving people; etc. The ultimate solutions are to embody unconditional self-love and embrace death. This might sound nothing or useless to you for now, but remember what I said. Your love for yourself is very strong and unconditional, it does not matter what you do or what happens. When the intrusive thought invades your mind saying "What if I murder my son?", say to yourself "Be it. But I want to forgive myself and feel peaceful." "I can murder my son, I can murder my husband, I can even murder myself. But I will forgive myself and I want to feel peaceful." If the intrusive thought counters "But why would you want to forgive yourself and feel peaceful? You are a horrible mother.", you say to yourself "Because I love myself. No other reason but I love myself, so I will forgive myself and feel peaceful.". That's the power of unconditional self-love. It doesn't matter what you do, you will forgive and approve of yourself. Embody unconditional self-love and repeat those self-empowering thoughts everyday for years. I assume you genuinely do NOT want to murder your son. So, it's better to love and nurture him. But even if you really want to murder your son, you can do it and feel peaceful if your love for yourself is very strong and unconditional. Neurosis (clinical anxiety) or any form of extreme anxiety at its core is fear of death. All your compulsions are for the purpose of preventing death. Even normal people who have no clinical anxiety and depression actually have significant fears and anxieties because they also fear death. The difference is neurotic humans have extraordinary, uncontrolled, neurotic fears as a result of genetics, abusive parents, childhood trauma, destroyed ego, etc. I know these things work because I have done them. I have crippled my crippling neurosis via unconditional self-love and embracing death. I embody unconditional self-love and I partially embody the embrace of death.

Why complicate things? You should simplify things instead. Of course; if there was a way to produce cooked ramen without using heat, I would go that way. Unfortunately, in this world we live in, it is only heat which produces cooked ramen; hence heat is valuable.

It's similar to saying it is cooked ramen which has value, not fire itself, hence fire is valueless. How do you produce cooked ramen without fire (or heat)? Fire is valuable as fuck!

Your belief about suffering being valueless is the real danger. I don't know much about the story behind that suicidal monk. But I am open to the possibility that the monk considered his "tribe" to be worth dying for, hence he murdered himself via fire. The only question is why he thought his tribe was worth dying for. But yes, many humans inflict needless suffering on themselves and others because of ignorance and selfishness. Your job is NOT to be one of them. This is wrong. The truth is, the bigger the wound or trauma you conquer, the bigger the growth you gain. How do I know this? Via direct experience. I have experienced a few of the greatest mental-emotional tortures God could ever inflict on its creatures; from extreme childhood abuse, to being involved in a motorbike accident at age 16 which fractured my skull and murdered a drunk suicidal human, to extreme anxiety (OCD, BDD, GAD, etc.), suicidal depression, to being born in a 3rd world country, divorce, wage slavery, to being persecuted for being integrous, etc. I never gave up on myself via drugs or self-murder. I stood up for myself for decades. And that's exactly the reason I am who I am now. And I love and feel good about myself. If you have keen senses, you will know I am very mentally mature. Even if there was a button which I could press to erase the extreme suffering I experienced, or at least to replace the extreme suffering with something better, I would NOT press that button. That's how valuable the extreme suffering is to me. But I do empathize with humans and animals who suffer. I have a few close friends in college who murdered themselves because of extreme suffering. I feel sorry for them and I wish they didn't suffer that way, or at least they had the internal resources to conquer the suffering. I wish God could be more empathetic towards its creatures and lessen the torture it has inflicted on them this time. I myself don't want to experience another extreme suffering. It's time to breathe.

Yes, you are wrong. If you experience extreme suffering for a long time, you will not be the same human. Either you will be better or bitter, or both. It all depends on what you do or how you react to the suffering.

Your question should have been "How do I acquire the solutions?". Self-love and Self-esteem Comprehend and then embody them. Embody means you think, act, and react similar to a person who has high self-love and self-esteem. This needs to happen every day or almost every day. Implement it to others and to yourself. I have seen a few of your posts. It seems you badly need a girlfriend, which is valid. So you also need to embody masculine beauty. Masculine beauty I don't know whether Leo has a video about it. Try to search for it. You can also search for it on the internet. But to give you an idea what it is; Internal and physical strength, bravery, intelligence, confidence, guts, integrity, muscles, boundary, charisma, leadership, etc. It also helps if you have fashion intelligence. Make it simple, beautiful, and masculine. Why should you listen to me? I am not a master pick-up artist, only because it is women who do pick-up on me. I first started having a girlfriend when I was 11. Another girlfriend when I was 12. Another one when I was 14. Another one when I was 17 and so on. I never exerted much effort. Having girlfriends is easy and natural for me. I banged many women who I socialize and drank with when I was in college. Two of my ex-gf's bestfriends (my ex-gf had 3 female bestfriends) invited me to have threesomes with them. I refused the threesome which I regretted to be honest. I should have gone for it. ? But one of her bestfriends was very insistent on it, I was tempted. She booked a taxi and a hotel and I fucked her real good there. A few months after that, she kept inviting me to fuck her again because according to her I was very good in bed. But I was always able to refuse. I was still brainwashed by society at that time to honor monogamy. I fucked too many women in college and in my 20s, I can't remember them all. And I'm the type of guy who has a high standard. I only fucked girls who are at least a 7. Having girlfriends and fucking women have been easy and natural for me since I was 11. I took it for granted. I never knew others are actually having difficulty with it. I was shocked as fuck when I knew about incels. I am now in my 30s and I have exhausted all my desire to have girlfriends or wives. I can still have girlfriends or wives but I am picky as fuck. They must be a 10. But I still enjoy fucking women who are at least a 7. My problem is different. Girls and homosexuals hit on me too often and they are too aggressive, I perceive their sexual advances as sexual harassment. This is a form of suffering believe it or not. Most of the time, I am not interested in the person who hits on me. It's very frustrating. I contemplated my popularity among girls (and homosexuals) a bit. I concluded it must be the self-love, masculine energy I mentioned above, physical and fashion beauty (I'm at least attractive to women in my home country, Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans; I have never been exposed to western women so I don't know about them). Having more feminine aspects such as compassion and sensitivity might also be two of the forces. I'm not sure whether spirituality helps in dating. My guess is that it does if you are being strategic about it. I mentioned my history with women and dating NOT to brag or look down on others. I just want you to know me a bit and I want to show you that I speak from experience. Now, it's your turn to help me. I lost more or less 70k USD last year to an online scam. My Japanese student visa was rejected a few days ago and I paid 2.3k USD to the Japanese University. They did not refund my money. For context, the annual salary in my home country which is a 3rd world country is 2.2k USD. I lost too much money, I need to get a wage slave job soon to stay alive. And I badly need to go back to Japan as soon as possible. I hope you have good answers. How do I quickly and legally earn much money? I have tried starting a business. No, it was not quick and it was very difficult. If you know somebody who owns a business in Japan and can sponsor me a work visa, please recommend me to them. It's essentially impossible to get a Japanese long-term work visa without a sponsor from Japan if you're from a 3rd world country unless you have millions of dollars in your bank account to apply for a business or investor visa. Japan bows down to the USA and other English-speaking countries and looks down on 3rd world countries.

Manifestations of high self-love and high self-esteem. Manifestations of low self-love and low self-esteem. The problems and solutions are obvious.

They do, at least to a certain degree. You just can't exclude them. The point is to acquire and enjoy them while simultaneously doing your best to minimize the destruction of your spirituality and integrity. Believe it or not, you can even use them to practice your spirituality and do more good things in the world. Don't just believe everything Leo says. He is limited, hence flawed. I can see some of his flaws. I finished watching his video about Tate just now. I don't know the guy because he is not interesting enough to be worth my time. But in general, Leo's video has good points and is worth watching. But believe it or not, Leo displayed his bias there which doesn't need to be your bias. I have seen a few flaws. And life is not just contemplation, integrity, and truth. It's also about variety of experiences and enjoyment.

It's dumb to mock Stage Green. Stage Green deserves all the support in the world. A Stage Green man can be masculine. Meet Masafumi Nagasaki. Learn more about him. https://paradise.docastaway.com/masafumi-nagasaki-city-returns/

It is selfishness and it is good, not evil. Not all forms of selfishness are harmful to others. Despite liberals' selfishness, they are still more empathetic or sympathetic than conservatives. It is still intelligent of you to foresee it. Yes, societal evolution powered by liberal values and AI will purge stubborn conservatives from global human population (already starting to happen). Yes, death will be the eventual result, but before that, extreme horrors and suffering must be experienced first. Intelligent conservatives will do their best to "grow" to avoid the tragedy I described above. Not really. In the domain of survival and stability, conservatives are superior to liberals. But in the domains which are most important in existence, liberals are superior to conservatives. Conservatives are more animalistic than liberals. But since the past few years, I have been seeing and appreciating the beauty or importance of conservatism. I've also been doing my best to embody it. And to be honest, I have been experiencing and loving the good side of it. It's all about balance, having healthy amounts of both conservativism and liberalism.

Probably the best 2 lines in a poem ever. Very simple but romantic. Next, ask the AI to create a poem about the purpose of human life.

Why being malicious? Nothing to be upset about. Many members here imitate Leo, in words and actions. But it never seriously crossed their minds they are just digging a deeper hole for themselves. The differences between Leo and his followers are that Leo already has millions or hundreds of thousands in his bank account and has never experienced any form of mental illness or any serious form of trauma, while his followers are being inflicted with various forms of mental illnesses, trauma, and are having financial problems. Many also lack social skills or have never had a girlfriend their entire lives. It's ok for Leo to shoot for the stars. It's foolish for his followers to try to do the same thing because for them, it's just spiritual bypassing. Leo's work is NOT for the majority of the population. That's the truth, whether acknowledged or not.

The music video above is Leo's best song of all time. I also love that song; the lyrics are good and the melody is fun. But I think there are songs out there which are superior. I think Leo is just biased because the vocalist of New Radicals looks similar to him. ? The 2 music videos below are superior to Leo's song. But everything in existence is relative especially music. So there's no clear winner. You are also free to disagree. I just want to honor these songs.

Another power song.

It’s a dream. As what Leo has said many times, life is a dream. If it's a dream, it's an automatic illusion. No, I'm not just parroting him. I speak from direct experience. Others have no localized consciousness. Every human and animal in your life behaves similar to a living thing which has its own mind. But this is not the case. There is only one mind in existence which is yours. Another mind-boggling truth is your father and mother are made of the exact same substance or material as your cabinet and PC. No difference. Death Yes, it’s true that you are alive right now. But it's also true that you are already dead. Why? Because in the end (death), your life will be erased. All memories of your existence will also be erased. It feels similar to having never been born and alive. If you have never been born, it means you have always been dead. I'm writing this post not to devalue your life or end it. It's still important to honor the purpose of your life which is to experience, create, and admire the beauty of existence (yourself included). I'm writing this post to help you be less attached to life and embrace unavoidable death. This post is also a note to myself. I have mastered seeing and admiring the beauty of existence. But I'm still learning how to embrace death. I'm still far from mastering it.

We agree on things except what you said above. But in the end, we both need to honor what is true for us based on our experience. But I wonder why your spiritual insights are different from Leo's when you both use psychedelics. I generated my spiritual insights without using psychedelics and even without my intention. My spiritual path is very different.

Everything in existence, no matter how beautiful, fades. I'll share an experience which happened a few years ago. I was sitting in a Japanese park, marveling at the beauty of the wide-open space, grasses, trees, and skylarks. I felt deep joy and I said to myself "I've been looking for this beautiful place my entire life without even knowing it. Now I'm finally here. I will come to this place every few days to watch these beautiful things and feel this joy.". So, that was what I did. And for the first month, I was one of the happiest few humans in the world. But I was surprised that the park lost its beauty in the second month. I was very disappointed. I contemplated why that was the situation. Then I realized, the park actually did not lose its beauty. It was my senses and perception which lost their appreciation capability, hence the joy also faded. I also realized this is not avoidable. God designed it that way to motivate me to enjoy as many parks as I can. God wants me to enjoy variety of beauty. This is also true to all other things in existence. God wants you to enjoy as many works of art, foods, parks, women, etc., as you can. If you ate only sushi your entire life, you would be sick of it and become unhealthy. It's good to enjoy other foods. If you stayed at the same hotel every vacation time, you would also be sick of it. It's good to enjoy other hotels. Of course, if you flirted and fucked only one woman your entire life, you would also be sick of her and that would be a big tragedy. It's surely good to enjoy other beautiful women. Monogamy is dumb. I think polyamory is better. I haven't done much research on polyamory so I don't understand it that much. But I want to say you can have a deep, genuine relationship with more than one woman simultaneously. It functions similar to synergy. When you start to feel sick of flirting and fucking Kimberly, you take a break and you spend more time flirting and fucking Park Min-ji. When you get sick of flirting and fucking Park Min-ji, you take a break again and spend more time with Ishii Yuki or Kimberly again. That's how you generate and sustain love and excitement. And paradoxically, it nourishes romantic relationships. If monogamy is the best, why do you think cheating, domestic abuse and divorce are prevalent? It is natural for a sexual human to be simultaneously sexually attracted to more than one sexual partner. Monogamy forces naturally polygamous humans to enjoy only one partner, hence the marital tragedy. Even married couples who are not legally divorced are essentially divorced. Many of such couples are sexless or the romantic spark is long gone. They are essentially friends who chose to stay together for the kids or other reasons. But I need to clarify that this is not true for everybody. Some humans are naturally ok being monogamous (especially humans with low libido). So they should honor their monogamy. I just want to demonstrate why polygamy is superior to monogamy.

A good post. The best way is to embody all 4.

Yes, I also intuit that this is the case. Leo even made a video about this which is titled "Infinity of Gods". Every God has its own solipsistic dream. It's very interesting. But in this dream of yours, you are the solitary dreamer. Because I am honoring the purpose of my life. Helping others is a form of beauty, and I honor all forms of beauty. No, it's not a twisted interpretation. I realized that it is actually good that your level of consciousness goes back to your default state after awakening. During a very elevated state of consciousness, your experience of existence significantly changes. It is very obvious that your parents and everybody else are illusions. There are no other minds. There's nothing there. It becomes absurd to interact with them knowing and experiencing them as illusions. And it becomes very difficult to honor the purpose of your life. Now that my level of consciousness is more human again, existence becomes real. Everybody and everything are real and physical again. Intellectually, I knew that the female intern doctor is an illusion which sprouted from my mind. But experientially, she is real. So, when we flirted with each other, I felt love and enjoyment. If I had the opportunity to hold her face and admire her beauty, it would have been one of the greatest joys in my life, knowing that this beauty sprouted from my mind. Without the schizophrenic experience or awakening, things would just be normal and lack intensity.

No. Your mind imagines others' minds. I need to say it for what it is. It is surely horrifying at first. But as you bear with it and continue your spiritual journey, you will arrive at a point when it becomes beautiful and magical. "I am all which exists. The entire universe is made of the exact same substance as my body. How beautiful!" The thought above fills my heart with much love. You need to experience the solipsistic dream for yourself to remove any doubt. But even if you do, you might doubt it first because it is very different from your usual consciousness. It feels similar to insanity. But as you contemplate it more and listen to your intuition, you become surer that the "schizophrenic" experience is the truth. I just described what happened to me and why I created this thread. This dream of yours is grand in its beauty and deception. And I'm a part of this dream, an illusion pretending to be real.

Also true. And this is good news. It makes accomplishing the purpose of your life more sensible and satisfying. What are you waiting for? It's time to go outside your comfort zone and experience many things. Be brave and detemined, and create and admire as much beauty as you can. Don't waste the gift of life.

Life is a dream. It's not real or physical, and you are not inside it. Instead, life is not physical. Life or existence sprouts from your mind, exactly similar to your dreams at night.

It is an illusion. But love yourself to death, despite it being an illusion. It's all you have. There is somebody who can awaken. And it can only be you.

Leo can't afford to eat a slice of pizza but has no problem eating ice cream. ? It's senseless. Those posts surely are strange and out of character. But they don't mean they're self-destructive. But it's understandable to be concerned. Yes, a few of his recent posts on Instagram are not positive. But the childhood photographs and the cat apology are good though a bit strange.
