Yea, I realised that after posting. I don't know, this shit is too tricky.

Well, then I guess the expectations should be challenged but it is still a fact that you're x years old. You can't just legally change your age because you feel like it.

But gender is a social construct and age isn't ?

This is in addition to him ordering the testing to slow down, btw.

I don’t think I was ever properly stage blue. Always been highly skeptical of my religion and very open to new ideas. I did still kind of want to practice my religion as best as I could but my thinking, at least subconsciously, went something like: This is the theoretical framework I have adopted for now. For me to not practice its teachings would be hypocritical, but there’s no absolute reason for me to believe that this framework isn’t flawed or fundamentally mistaken. Eventually my skepticism grew and a few very heated debates and YouTube vids forced me to think in new ways. Of course I still had quite a few stage blue ideas that needed deconstructing and Actualized helped a lot with that. I believe the reason for my openness and skepticism was my refusal to accept that my, or ‘our’, worldview is perfect.

No, my parents are not secretly gay!

what does that even mean? leo talks about his personal life or something? who cares lol

Lol, I used to really believe that guy was a genius. Turns out he really isn't,

Goddamit, this shit again.

I saw this twitter thread. I’m not quite sure if I agree or disagree. Thoughts? Could you live life like this? Personally, I don’t I could..

@Roy So it all depends on what I want and my happiness? If I was truly happy living a simple life and not getting into any deep work, it wouldn’t really matter?

I remember intuiting there is something more to reality but I couldn't really put it into words. I don't know why I felt this way.. tbh, It was most probably because I was gullible, lacked critical thinking and listened to some of Terrence Mckenna and other psychedelic trip experiences. If it weren't for Leo, I probably would've taken all of that as some dogma before having experiencing it for myself. Lucky I didn't quite fall into that trap.

Lol okay I didn’t quite get what was being said

Are you some kind of nudist

I think this video is pretty much all about that

@Parththakkar12 Alright, I'll check it out. Interesting. I'd find it a lot more convincing if you had some sort of data to back that up, but I understand, its about direct experience isn't it. One thing, though. Does this also mean that one could not really explain why they reached the conclusion that they did?

But I can't take your word for it. And what if that deep sense of knowing is complete bullshit? How can I know? A lot of 'deluded' people are very confident in what they believe in too. When it comes to something like enlightenment, for example, a guru can tell me meditate for x amount of hours and you'll become aware of the absolute. What about intuition? Do I just wait for my intuition to kick in, or what? Again comparing intuition with enlightenment, I know that people/gurus/traditions reach(ed) to somewhat similar conclusions. Can I be equally sure when relying on intuition? Lets say a hundred people flawlessly do what you're saying.. so are you 100% positive that they will reach the same or similar conclusions?

My intuition is literally the most useless thing out there. I can intuit that x theory is true or not but also not know if it is just a self deception/bias. How do you resolve this problem? Also, this is why I largely rely on my rational side.

I just really like the simple, intuitive UI. Android doesn't feel as intuitive.

I’m fine as long as they don’t touch reddit

Too much sex will make you gay?! Clearly they don’t know anything about their prophet https://sunnah.com/bukhari/5/21

If my mom caught me masturbating she'd totally freak out lol. Just look at this imams explanation for why music is HARAMMM!

I don’t care what anyone says, if I had a tab of lsd in front of me right now, I’d probably do it

One way I've learnt to deal with this is to be obnoxiously rational. Basically, the rational, argumentative and extremely skeptical aspects of myself will never allow me to believe in this awakening crap. To me, it's still all bullshit. Not until have I experienced it will I 'believe' in it (it wont really be a belief though at that point, of course).
