  1. @Fluran don’t?
  2. Make friends with one. They are really good listeners.
  3. @RandomToolGuy It’s historically wrong what they say. You won’t get a fully balanced and integrated spiritual practice with only one technique. If you look at what Buddhism actually is… and it’s history you see that there were many different schools, different interpretations and different practices. These technologies developed over time and there was always long in fighting amongst Buddhist/ toasit schools. Nothing wrong I think with going deep into vipassana. Just ignore the bullshit dogma.
  4. It’s a lot… be careful start low… when you do it right it’s perfection.
  5. Namaste Trip safely.
  6. Leave when you can
  7. Leave when you can
  8. Another thing is to remember there are many different spiritual technologies. People will find what works for them and get the results those have to offer.
  9. Also, God is perfect morality. Your morality is relative. For some people having sex with multiple partners like many tantrics and sex shamans… and for others using psychedelics are very moral indeed.
  10. @RandomToolGuy No dogma Every schools has its dogma. Even in Toaist and Buddhist Qigong they historically disagreed in many things regarding sex, drugs, etc. However, each simply has pros and cons. A lot of these people are dogmatic and simply have only tried their own methods.
  11. @Leo Gura I am excited to slowly begin dating again.
  12. @michaelcycle00 it’s called contextual paradox
  13. Yesterday I was jamming to the Fray 3 songs over and over and over again having deeply spiritual experiences. Just crying tears of infinite love. Yesterday I also had a 5meo like experience while doing my Qigong. Anyway. 3 Songs: 1. You Found me 2. Over my Head 3. How To Save a Life The fray is great. While listening to it I had thing Image that Leo also jams to this kind of music. Perhaps because the singer is bald too idk ahaha. Anyway, Good taste Leo I find I was listening to the music, contemplating my life purpose, relativity... the love I have for all people, cultures etc and the difficulties they are all facing. Just imagining the love in my heart washing over it all. Just love, love love. Just washing away all the pain, confusion and problems people have with my love. Plus, this sense I had to overcome all the challenges that I am currently facing in the name of love. Perhaps the fantasy of the absolute unconditional "I Got you" and the "Forever Friend". Leo just so happened to post it on his blog yesterday ahaha. Interesting synchronicity. It's love. https://www.actualized.org/insights/how-to-save-a-life Step one, you say we need to talk He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left, and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best 'Cause after all, you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And I pray to God he hears you And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
  14. @Tristan12 Yeah, I think its the love... So much love coming from the fray in the feeling of the music above and beyond the music. The Fray's music is greater than the sum of it's parts. Idk, lately I've been feeling such massive amounts of love in my heart. I cry tears of joy all the time. I haven't been tripping or anything. Just lots of Qigong, reading, and working on my life. I am also reading a book called "Fixed" The fine art of problem solving which talks about Art and its ability to heal, and reveal so much about ourselves (biases, preferences, things about society, etc). Anyway. Very interesting.
  15. @at_anchor Go to your local sex shop and buy 1 or 2 books that resonate with you.
  16. Lol, well whatever you do you'll learn.
  17. @Devin Maybe I’m just speaking from previous direct experience and mystical insight and, using language used to describe it based on what I’ve learned through intellectual process. To extent that that is parroting
  18. @Devin You think it’s Parroting But I can tell by your post you don’t really know much about this
  19. Leo’s vids and book list. Third Wave
  20. @Razard86 Idk, how did God, the thing that created itself, and You… learn how to love. Well, God is infinite intelligence by its very nature and when you are infinitely intelligent all there is to do it to love. God is a causal and before time. Your imposing your finite experience in something that isn’t human, nor is it finite. Anyway, your not gonna like my answers because you want God to be a finite being like you.
  21. @Razard86 uhh, maybe your the one who needs to contemplate ahaha also, consider studying/ contemplating duality, God and Non-dual Shaiva Tantra… and trip.
  22. @r0ckyreed Personally I’ve been reading those “A very short introduction to” - Philosophy of science - Science vs Religion - Knowledge - Infinity You make a lot of good points Btw
  23. @r0ckyreed Your last point about meditation, psychedelics etc point to the future of science, but not as it’s commonly done. this, leo dispels the myth of modern science.
  24. @r0ckyreed Yeah but, the things your saying about assumption, ideology, beliefs etc are very difficult realities that all scientists face… yet they do science. You cant KNOW everything. Newtonian physics works for example, but it’s not true to the core of how reality works. People assume that because it works and is useful that it’s true. Quantum mechanics came along and showed there’s more to reality than Newtonian physics. When you read books about the philosophy of science and science vs religion they aren’t as cut and dry, black and white as your making it out to be here. It’s actually far more intertwined and complicated than… than the myth of science shared by people. Science claims to not be based on belief. But when you actually look how most scientists function and even how things like, scientific authorities, titles, history, belief in your methodology/ models etc… Science is actually pretty much 95% belief. Admit to yourself you haven’t actually confirmed 99% of scientific findings. You’ve probably never really done science either. Science is also largely trapped in circular symbolic reasoning which limits it from really knowing what reality is. Because science is largely authority, models, symbols, etc it’s pretty much belief. Also, something like 70% of studies could not be recreated in a few well known studies. Science does have biases… can you see them? What is peer review but confirmation bias? What is the bias for certain ways of knowing vs other? What is the bias for survival vs truth? Science has beliefs about what objectivity and subjectivity are… can you grasp that from a higher perspective? How “objective” is science really? Science NEEDS assumptions. Because, it can’t know everything and science is largely a survival tool used by human/ apes to manipulate and survive in the world. Then, calls that truth or the best thing to it. Science assumes much. These assumptions are often the paradigms that genius scientists spend their lives fighting to shatter with their leading edge discoveries.
