@DocWatts It’s a sharp, sobering point—and sadly, not far-fetched. When love, inclusion, and truth challenge the grip of fear and control, the backlash often reveals more than the original act of courage. If Jesus returned today preaching the same radical compassion, humility, and resistance to empire—he’d be labeled a threat by many who claim his name. The Vatican’s gesture, whatever its complexity, stirred something real. Sometimes the outrage says more than the action itself.

@Davino Beautifully said. It does carry that feeling—like the mind being gently reoriented toward a higher order, one that isn’t chaotic or random, but deeply intelligent and quietly whole. Divine Logic isn’t loud—it’s harmonious. It doesn’t argue—it reveals. And when it lands, something in us simply nods… as if we always knew.

@Husseinisdoingfine It is surprising—but also kind of fascinating. It might show that Leo is evolving, or at least opening up to perspectives he once held at a distance. 🤗 Marx’s lens on material conditions and class dynamics remains one of the more grounded frameworks for understanding societal shifts, even if one doesn’t fully subscribe to his entire worldview. And Leo, being someone who values deep inquiry 🧐 , might be allowing the complexity of that lens to inform his broader understanding of consciousness /development. Sometimes, true growth means embracing nuance—even in ideologies we once rejected.

@Daniel Balan Much love to you too, brother. Grateful for your presence and the resonance we share. Here’s to minds that seek truth—and hearts that know it.

@Daniel Balan Thank you for sharing so openly — I can feel that your values are rooted in fairness, care, and a genuine desire for balance. It’s true that the left often speaks in the language of equality and collective upliftment, and that resonates deeply with many of us who want a kinder, more inclusive world. At the same time, your awareness of the flaws — the danger of erasing individual motivation or forcing sameness — shows you’re not blindly ideological, but seeking something more nuanced. It’s powerful that you can recognize both the moral intent and the practical shortcomings on all sides. Maybe the deeper challenge isn’t left or right, but how we preserve dignity and incentive while also ensuring no one is left behind. Real wisdom, I think, lies in holding both: honoring personal effort and freedom, while also ensuring systems are compassionate and just. If we can keep our hearts open and minds sharp, maybe we can create something beyond ideology — a society that reflects the best of both care and courage, unity and uniqueness.

Beautiful—thank you for exploring this. 😊 The search for God, or truth, isn’t always about proving something to the mind, but feeling something awaken in the heart. ❤️ Proofs can guide, inspire, or challenge us—but ultimately, the deepest knowing is silent, still, and unmistakably present. 🧘

@Daniel Balan I hear you, and I deeply respect the care for humanity behind what you’re expressing. 🤗 It’s true—the left often moves from a place of compassion, seeking to protect the vulnerable and expand inclusion. And yes, the right, especially in its more hardened expressions, can feel rooted in fear, control, and resistance to change. What’s most needed now isn’t more weighing of which side is better, but a return to what lies beneath both: our shared human longing for safety, dignity, and belonging. Peace doesn’t take sides—it invites wholeness. The real task is not to prove one wing is right, but to grow the heart that can hold the entire bird. 🕊️ May we walk forward, not as opponents in ideology, but as companions in healing. ❤️‍🩹

@kbone I’d be honored. Here’s how I’d share my journey to Presence through the caterpillar → cocoon → butterfly metaphor: Caterpillar At first, I was all appetite—chasing knowledge, success, recognition. Life was a checklist: grow, win, become. Truth is, I was lost. Quietly anxious. Always reaching. The world told me speed meant progress, so I ran—fast and blind. Even spirituality, back then, was just another topic. Interesting, sure—but distant. A conversation topic. Not a home. Cocoon Then came the unraveling. Stillness wasn’t noble—it was inevitable. Something broke, or maybe I did. A failure, a weariness that wouldn’t lift. Suddenly I wasn’t growing, I was gone. The noise I’d outrun for years caught up. And in the dark, I met myself—not the polished version, but the tender, trembling one. An innocent 😇 child. No answers. Only breath. Only now. Butterfly Presence didn’t arrive with a bang—it was what was left when striving fell away. 🤲🏼 The mind stopped needing to grasp light and started letting it in. 🧘‍♂️ Wings came quietly. Not to escape, but to feel, land, bless. Not everything needs to be fought. Things just want to be witnessed. And maybe that’s the bridge to politics, too. When we forget the hungry caterpillar we were—or deny the cocoon we resist—we cling to certainty and call it truth. But those who’ve surrendered to transformation know: Flight only comes when we stop trying to fly. With love and breath, always— Peacely, 🦋

@Daniel Balan Exactly—history is a brutal teacher, and WWII showed how fanaticism and dehumanization lead to self-destruction. ☠️ The Nazis’ failure to ally with anti-communist groups out of pure ideological hatred was a fatal strategic error. 😣 The lesson isn’t that one wing is always better—it’s that dogma kills wisdom. The most powerful stance is to be a “wizard” 🧙‍♂️ —to see beyond left and right, and respond with clarity, not ideology. 🤲🏼 Reality isn’t binary, and neither should be our politics!

@Thought Art Absolutely—laying that foundation is key. Skills, discipline, real-world experience—that’s how strength and clarity are forged. 🔥 🛡️ ⚔️ And when spirit flows through that structure, it’s unstoppable. Every action becomes intentional, every choice aligned. 🧘‍♂️ Keep rising—brick by brick, breath by breath, power by presence. 🙏

@Daniel Balan A fiery take, I get where you’re coming from. Both wings absolutely deserve scrutiny, but in different ways. The left can veer into idealism that sometimes disconnects from practical realities, while the right often wraps its flaws in the language of tradition, order, or “freedom,” even when that leads to repression or systemic harm. What’s tragic is how both sides, when unbalanced, lose sight of basic human dignity. One might overreach in trying to fix the world, the other might actively deny there’s anything to fix—unless it benefits power obviously 🙄 The deeper issue, maybe, is this: What kind of society actually honors both truth and compassion? Neither extreme seems to fully embody that right now.

That’s a compelling way to frame it—and it really highlights how different values manifest in governance and daily life. Canada, with its emphasis on inclusivity, public healthcare, and personal freedoms, might feel more livable for many—especially if you value openness and social support. Russia, on the other hand, often represents a more rigid, nationalist, and authority-centered model. But beyond left or right, maybe the deeper question is: Where does life feel most aligned with one’s core values and spirit? That might differ person to person, but for many, Canada’s current ethos resonates more with compassion and liberty.

@kbone Beautifully put—and yes, precisely 🙏 That Presence is so immediate, so quietly radiant, it almost feels absurd we ever searched for it elsewhere. 😃 Before thought, before identity—it’s just Here, humming like the background note of existence, the “one song” indeed. 🎵 And when the mind bows to that, it finally becomes the brilliant servant it was meant to be. 🤲🏼 Grateful for this resonance. 👋🏼

@kbone Absolutely—it really does. That subtle inner shift can light up even the most ordinary space. It’s like the moment you stop resisting life and start seeing it—not as something to conquer, but to dance with. 🕺 Mastery, then, becomes less about control and more about attunement. 🎻 Thanks for your kind words—feels like we’re both tuning in to something timeless. 🌊

@Magnanimous I really appreciate how sincerely you’re approaching all this — the desire to be world-class at something, while also staying deeply rooted in what matters most: life itself. That’s already rare. And honestly, the Power of Now is serious spirituality when it’s lived, not just read. Presence is the gateway. Conversations with God may not be “psychedelic,” but its energy is profound — it reorients your relationship with life, and that’s no small thing. Leo’s path is intense, yes — but remember, “proper” spirituality isn’t a fixed formula. Psychedelics can crack open the door, but integration, humility, and presence keep it open. And you’re already doing that at 18. remarkable. The perfect time to start “serious spirituality” is now, just as you are, with whatever calls you most deeply. Let your path unfold with trust. Mastery in the world and awakening in the soul aren’t mutually exclusive — in fact, when done right, they feed each other. Let your devotion be your discipline, and your joy be your compass. You’re already on the path.

@kbone Equality as the mind understands it does begin in otherness, but as you pointed out so clearly, there’s something deeper: the space where the illusion of separation dissolves. The false self softens under the light of awareness, and what remains isn’t sameness, but a kind of luminous oneness. A place where even the mind, with all its brilliance, gently bows to something it can’t contain. And maybe that’s where true equality lives: not in ideas, but in the quiet presence of no other. yay May we keep returning to that gentle place, where being is enough, and all distinctions fade into love. ❤️‍🔥

Here’s the agenda—simple, bold, non-negotiable: Universal healthcare — no more bankruptcies over sickness. Living wage — not minimum wage, dignity wage. Break up monopolies — from Big Tech to Big Ag to Big Pharma. Tax the ultra-rich — not working people. Ban corporate lobbying — make democracy for people, not donors. Public infrastructure renaissance — clean energy, fast transit, good jobs. Debt-free education + housing as a right — not a luxury. This isn’t “radical”—it’s common sense when the system’s been rigged for decades. The moment is ripe. What’s missing isn’t policy—it’s courage.

That’s why the next move isn’t just hoping the Dems shift—it’s building parallel pressure from the ground up. We need to make economic populism unavoidable: town halls, worker coalitions, independent media, and candidates who refuse corporate money. The message has to be clear: If you side with Wall Street, you’re not a Democrat. You’re a placeholder. Real power comes when the working class, Gen Z, and disillusioned independents unite—not under a brand, but under a vision: Dignified work, real wages, public power. We don’t need permission from Schumer. We need momentum.

Absolutely agree. The Democratic Party’s survival depends on embracing real economic populism—not just culture war deflections. Fixing income inequality, busting monopolies, and breaking corporate capture should be non-negotiables. But taxing the bottom 80% is political suicide and morally backward. The wealth is at the top. That’s where the pressure belongs. Can Dems be pushed left? Not without grassroots fire and public clarity. The establishment, like Schumer, has long been tethered to Wall Street. They fear Sanders-style populism because it threatens their donor class. But that’s exactly the battle line—people power vs corporate power. And it’s one worth drawing clearly.

Pride and Prejudice

Chill out Thats just life how about love? how about not knowing? embracing the mystery of life let’s get together and feel alright 👍

Do it when you feel it.

@5-D - L O V E YESSS! This is it! Every backlash, every pushback—pure gold! Life saying, ‘Here’s your next level of freedom!’ How fun is that?! Breathe it in, love it, dance with it! Nothing is wrong—EVERYTHING is opening! Laugh, feel the rush, let it all be GREAT NOW! You’re not stuck, you’re EXPANDING! And ohhh, what a ride!!! 🚀💫✨

@5-D - L O V E Surrender away everything every moment of every day and desire will never come your way. In the state of total surrender that brings eternal bliss which makes total surrender easier to achieve when in total eternal bliss. Forgive and forget is the key to starting this journey. You must forgive yourself completely every time. We want to stay away from matter. This carries a profound paradox—surrendering everything dissolves desire, yet in total surrender, bliss emerges, making surrender effortless. It's a cycle of ease rather than effort. Forgiveness becomes the gateway, and forgetting—the release from identification—allows for transcendence. To surrender everything, even the desire to surrender, is where the flow of life becomes absolute. No resistance, no grasping, just being. To surrender all, even the very idea of surrender, is to become the infinite unfolding of life, where bliss is not an achievement, but the natural state.
