    I think what Eckhart is talking here is similar to Stoicism, Laotzu-ism, and Leo's "winging it 24/7". But it's very confusing.

    Is it really possible to implement?

    Why make a distinction between the Universe's plan and the ego's plan? Why not creation by the ego as the Universe's way of creation? After all, the Universe created the ego.

    Are there any real-life examples of "winging it 24/7"? Did Bill Gates create Microsoft by the Universe's will or his ego's will? It was probably through his ego's will. But why is Microsoft very successful and impactful? Isn't that an evidence that the Universe created Microsoft through Bill's ego?

    I am horrified thinking about the horror the pilot and the passengers experienced while the airplane was crashing to the ground. It was a completely horrifying and undignified death.

    But don't let this horror you did not create break you. You need to be stronger and more resilient than the devils and psychopaths responsible for this tragedy. If somebody needs to break, it's them, not you.

    I imagine what I would do if I had all the money I could want. My mind comes up with some things like build my own house, travel the world and go sightseeing/explore nature, but it feels like I'd just be going from simple, everyday distractions to bigger, flashier distractions or "experiences". Life in general to me just feels like a struggle to keep myself from wanting to die; a matter of filling my waking hours with activities to pass the time so that I don't have to face the emptiness and hollowness until I fall asleep. Having goals is only a larger scale version of this. I've tried many hobbies, but none of them feel meaningful or give me a feeling of happiness, or if they do, I still don't want to do them 24/7, so once I'm done with that activity I literally just stare at my wall and suffer. I've heard you should sit with your pain, and I do this often but gain nothing from it. I'm losing my ability to cope with existing. Everyone else seems so happy just playing games and watching TV, but I can't stand doing those either. There is a pervasive sense that I am wasting time no matter what it is I do. Does anyone understand this feeling and how to overcome it?

    Either you are sensibly suffering from this.

    Or you have a childhood trauma haunting you. The first step is be conscious of it. Both are extremely difficult to handle and solve. But do it, there's no other way. Unless you are willing to suffer your entire life or murder yourself now.

    Here is Leo's response video.

    Don't believe him. But carefully listen to him and understand what he's saying. Watch that video from time to time and contemplate. It is probably useful and might bring you to a better inner situation.

    :) cute. I did not mean that at all. I am not sure you actually read my post.

     I do not disagree with Osho. I have been saying that for more than 10 years. I have been saying that people should take a test before being allowed to have children. You have to take a test to drive a car. Raising a healthy child is much more complicated than driving a car.

    Now, let me explain this, if you actually read my post and are still confused. 

     I had the most beautiful garden last year. I took a piece of land in the back of the house where I had moved, which the neighbors were treating like their own personal garbage bin, dug it up, fed the soil, and planted everything, from all sorts of leafy greens to fruits and veggies. It was the most amazing experience to see it grow and thrive. It made space for a lot of other life as well. At one point it was caterpillar paradise. And it was enough food for everybody. Me, my neighbors and them. 

    When you grow a garden, you have to plant some species inside. Like tomatoes. I had planted seeds and kept them on the window sill until they grew strong enough to be planted outside.  Because you are not guaranteed that all seeds will sprout, you have to plant more than you will actually use. So, when the time came to move my tomatoes outside I found myself having to choose the bigger and stronger ones to live, and the smaller ones to turn to food for the soil. It was not an easy choice to make. It was a possibility for life which ended. Just like an abortion. 

    People are so involved in their own species, they forget everything else is just as precious. When we will look at all life with the same eyes we look at a human life, when we will realize the sacredness of all, then we will be in a blessed world.

    That's a long explanation. Yes, just be conscious the tomato and chicken wing you're eating are sacred. I always say "Sorry and Thank you!" right before eating meat. A short way to say "Sorry for taking your life. And Thank you for giving me life.". Now, you made me consider saying it if I eat a tomato.

    You got your causality backwards.

    That's what low consciousness egos do.

    Narcissist != psychopath

    Stage Red is not psychopathy. It just appears that way to higher stage people who lack the nuanced understanding of these complex issues.

    It's all too easy to call dictators and strong-men psychopaths or "crazy" because the mind is looking for a way to dismiss them as so "other" as to be incomprehensible. But that's not the case. Stage Red explains Trump's actions quite well. Study Stage Red more.

    You have a good message to the general population. But it sounds ridiculous to me. Do you really think I created a model with mid-level and high-level for no justifiable reason?

    high-level psychopaths = pyschotic serial killers and alike 

    mid-level psychopaths = Trump, Duterte, NPD humans, most politicians, most CEOs, criminals, stage red, and alike

    low-level psychopaths = the rest of humanity

    Why did I create this model?

    To highlight the striking similarities of the three categories:

    1. blind selfishness

    2. lack of empathy for others

    3. hypocrisy

    4. terrorize others if it benefits the self

    5. deception

    6. other reasons I forget

    It is all basically blind, extreme selfishness. You label them all as devils. I label them all as psychopaths.

    You need to be slightly more careful and anticipative (improve anticipation skills) next time, especially you are implying (and supposedly) you are a high-consciousness ego.

    Always. And you will have more and stronger ego backlashes until you (and me) learn the lesson the inner child wants to teach us, and that is you are a vulnerable child always and in any age. You are also equal to your friends and family and never above your environment.

    This night i had 20-30 minutes of crying which during them I felt re-integrated again to my inner child. Now i understands that i felt many months that i am a little "above" my family. Its not that i really thought this in a rational way absolutely not. But i had a subtle FEELING all the time the I like felt that i am above them or knows more and etc.

    After this reintegration I feel now more pure, more child, and more equal to my parents and family and this is a great feeling. Feels far more healthy. And my anxiety reduced.

    I hope its ok just to share and show here my insights and feelings. I post it not only because it is very significant to me, but also because i think it can be valuable also to other people here.

    No disrespect but you are bullshitting yourself and others. What you really need is self-love. Even if Self-love is real, you don't need it (at least for now). Focus on acquiring self-love first.

    Not a psychopath, just Stage Red ;)

    Impeachment cornered him like a rat. So this is the ego backlash to that.

    Trump is too unconscious to accept loss without lashing out. That is what makes him so dangerous. He will try to take the ship down with him if he goes down.

    That's what mass murderers do. If they are going to murder themselves, they will take others with them. Basically all mass murderers have NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). All humans with NPD basically are psychopaths, either mid-level or high-level. So yes, Trump is a psychopath, a mid-level one.

    Yesterday I meditated for over an hour and went to sleep.

    I had a dream that I was sliding down a closed water pipie, but instead of ending in water the pipe just slowly got narrower and narrower until I was stuck - unable to breath and in panic. Thats when I woke up with the worst existential fear of my life and it hit me that people have died in worse ways in real life. Thats when I made that thread.

    Have you ever seen an isis video in which an isis member beheads a hostage with a small knife? It's a slow, blood-mess, painful death. I can't believe the movie I saw when I was a kid titled "God must be crazy" was accurate. But "God must be a psychopath" is more accurate. I'll watch that movie again. I'm curious how I see it that movie now as an adult. Anybody with the link, post it here. Thanks.

    As I begin to self actualization and take Leo as a mentor I encounter great shift from where I was, but the way it takes me is more of my feminine side, I was an alpha male strong and energetic, but when I start actualizing about love and oness it is making more weak, and perceived as weak even though I am energetic and powerfull people doesn't respect me because my bigger tolerance, I think Leo teaching should be embarrassed with eliot hussle kind mentor. 

    As osho said 

    A true spritual person is a person who hold both the lamp and sword ⚔. 

    A person who is samurai. 

    A monk and a warrior. 

    What do you think? 

    Don't expect people here to understand you. It doesn't matter whether you feel insecure or not. You being strong and "like a samurai" is your survival strategy. It is partly because of your genes and your environment (family and living in 3rd world country).  People who dismiss your "masculinity" and labeling you as insecure are either women, soyboys, never been abused in childhood, live in a safe country, or a combination of these things. 

    Take your "masculinity" with you in your spiritual path. Don't abandon it. People are different. There are businessman, nerd, introvert, extrovert, warrior, sportsman, middlemen, negotiator, leader, follower types, etc. Be true to yourself along your spiritual path. Being loving and kind doesn't mean being weak. You can be strong, dominant, and set boundaries to protect yourself and people who rely on you, and being kind and understanding at the same time. That is a good balance of "masculinity" and "femininity". You can be more effective this way. All types of people including the badasses and criminals will respect you and will even imitate you. You will set a good example. But remember, something as good as this is very difficult to achieve. But you must try. 

    Always be true to yourself. Don't abandon your "masculinity". If you reach a stage where you need to abandon it, it should be natural, not forced.

    Maybe this helps, maybe not;

    But I see this like just a newly developed, spiritual ego ranting against and demonizing the old, "ordinary" ego. It's not actually transcended, just slightly altered. And it's all happening within one being. Within you. 

    Just my opinion. Take it as you will.

    It is not about "integrating the illusion", as you put it. When the ego is fully recognized and acknowledged it is allowed to serve its purpose. Its existence is validated, thus it becomes barely noticeable. Transparent. It merges with the light of Divinity and is seen as an inseparable extension of God. It does not get in the way or contradict anything, rather assists. It has its role and experience and is in alignment and harmony with All That Is.

    This is how you're both the father and the son. Simultaneously.

     

    Integrating the ego sounds good. But according to Leo, to be God and remove evil, you need to be melting snow. Wash yourself of yourself.

    And I have heard from a spiritual guru that down the spiritual path, when you encounter the infinite or God, you must let go of your ego, otherwise, you will get psychotic. It is too much for the ego to contain the infinite.

    I don't know whether that is true. But it really seems pursuing enlightenment is confusing and dangerous.

    Love is not limited to human survival requirements, ideals, morals, or good or bad actions. Love is absolutely unconditional.

    I can't see it but I'm open to the possibility that it's true because I am limited to my senses and consciousness. I'll investigate it in the future.

    It would be wise to notice that when you try really hard to do good, you end up creating evil. Which is why the wisest people do not feel a need to save anyone.

     Could you give a clear example?

    Liberation means I don't have to do anything. Liberation means I could kill a baby and still realize I am love.

    To try to save people would make me attached to outcomes in an unhealthy way and be the opposite of liberation, leading to devilry.

    But watching humans suffer and dying and not giving a fuck is itself devilry.

    Why are you promoting  Bernie Sanders? Because it's your way to save humans, right?

    Jesus embodied liberation but he never said it was not his job to save humans. He was even willing to die as a result of his "infinite" love for humans.

    Where's the sense in the things you're saying?

    1. Because enlightenment deals with realizing what YOU are. Go research enlightenment and contemplate it.

    2. To really understand this you should contemplate enlightenment and psychosis separately first, and research each one for yourself.

       If this spiritual work is too much for you, go focus on more basic personal development. Balance between awakening and development.

    Sound like Sheila of Antelope.

    @jimwell

    Paranoid schizophrenia, with bi-polar episodes, messiah complex.

    The man is ill, it would be silly to connect spiritual practice as a cause to this, as this is only one case.

    What if he liked vanilla ice cream, would that make vanilla ice cream dangerous?

     

    He clearly didn't understand spirituality conceptually, but only filled his head with a bunch of ideas, which is a sure way to get confused. I guess it takes some sort of spiritual intelligence, and proper mindfulness and contemplation to be able to do it right, which he clearly lacks.

    I have seen a few people here in this forum who got psychotic after doing psychedelics (or other drugs) and meditation. And as I have clearly mentioned in the post, my grandmother tried to be like jesus by abandoning her family, money and giving 'selflessly" to others. She also went to church every day. But she ended up psychotic. It's silly you missed that one.

    This is a direct example of the dangers of spiritual work.

    This is personal to me. My grandmother was a very religious person who abandoned her husband, money, and family to be a good "christian. But she too got psychotic instead. She had delusions and hallucinations just like this guy above.

    1. Why does pursuing enlightenment often lead to psychosis?

    2. What's the difference between enlightenment and psychosis?

    Only from the POV of outside of the game can we appriciate and say it's all just a game. 

    Or like a parent tells their child after watching a sad cartoon or movie... That it's just a movie! 

     

    Yet Leo and you are wishing and working to make this unimportant game better. Why is that so? Because deep inside you know i t's not just a game and that it's important.

    Not the case right NOW? 

    All of You are judging your True Infinite Self. 

    Meditation is the way. 

    Killed animal "returns" back to Formlessness. If You Observe Nature closely You Will notice effectiveness in killing which causes least Amount of suffering. Even slained animal If immanent mortal danger is inescapable "shuts off". 

    God is Good above all apparent limits. 

    You really think we are in infinite bliss for eternity? Then why try to make this world a better place?

    I assume you believe you were united with the formless before your birth. WHy don't you have any memories of it? Why believe something you don't have direct experience? That's what christians and muslims do. Be careful.
