  1. The officer in the body cam video, lower page 6 does not say he was tazed. He says "he got the other officers taser and started firing at me". No you can't make this blanket statement "drunk prople have to be tazed" (even though we are dealing with people not prople)
  2. see bodycam video on page 6 of this thread, time 2:50 . A breathalyzer is shown and Rayshard Brooks agrees to take it. (Serotoninluv Body cam video, posted lower on the page). He is not shown taking it but he did. Later in the video when he is running away with the cops taser he turns his arm behind him and points the taser at the Officer Rolfe who said he was firing it but did not say he got hit) . After that Officer Rolfe shoots him 3 times striking him twice in the back. Had he not done that he might not have gotten shot although I think he should have let him run ahead further and fire a warning shot. Police would not have been trained for this rare situation were a taser is being pointed at them. They are trained to shoot to kill if someone points a gun at them not to wound. This is done to protect themselves instead of having to risk trying to shoot them in some non lethal hard to hit zone like the leg. It was a unique situation. The adrenaline was pumping because they had been wrestling him trying to make the arrest and situation had escalated. If it was me I would have slowed down and made two shot in the air to see if that would have stopped him but that is sitting here calmly at a computer. This is quite different from the case of George Floyd where they had him clearly subdued on the ground and kept him pressed down unnecessarily, brutally for several minutes which disgusts me even writing it. wikipedia Killing of Rayshard Brooks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Rayshard_Brooks Rolfe administered a field sobriety test; a breathalyzer test measured Brooks' blood alcohol level as 0.108; Georgia's legal limit for driving is 0.080.[10] Rolfe told Brooks that he was too impaired to operate a vehicle, and ordered him to put his hands behind his back preparatory to handcuffing him. Brooks broke away, wrestled on the ground with the two officers, and punched one of them.[13] During the struggle an officer said, "You're going to get tased! Stop fighting ... hands off the taser."[10][12] According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI), witnesses reported (and video shows) that Brooks wrested away one officer's taser and ran away as the officers chased him. Video footage then shows Brooks turn toward Rolfe while running, point the taser in Rolfe's direction and fire it.[13][14] (The New York Times, in an analysis of several videos of the encounter, reported that "flash of the Taser suggests that Mr. Brooks did not fire it with any real accuracy.")[13] Rolfe drew his firearm and fired three times at Brooks, striking him twice in the back. Neither officer provided medical attention to Brooks until two minutes later when Rolfe unrolled a bandage. Five minutes after the shots were fired an ambulance arrived and Brooks was taken to the hospital, where he died following surgery. One officer was treated for an injury.[12]
  3. only if you are doing something extremely macho to compensate just kidding, I was moved by the video. It's just a bit militaristic
  4. Here's the quote: __________________________________________ Leo Gura: What maintains your place on that periphery is precisely your inability to handle love it's your fear of love, so this axis right here of this radial model that we're creating, the center of it is pure infinite love and the very edge of it is complete utter terror and horror and fear the stuff of nightmares and most humans are somewhere in the middle you're somewhere in the middle so right now you are not able to access the love of God because you're too afraid and you're too attached and you're too selfish and you'd have to give all that up you'd have to surrender your games your lies your manipulation your cheating your stealing your sexual cravings you're selectively sexual cravings for various partners you would literally have to become so conscious that you cease seeing distinctions between people who you could have sex with you see because to understand God's love you'd have to be completely indiscriminate in your love that means you couldn't look at this woman over here and say oh well she's beautiful and this person with all she's ugly and old you couldn't do that you see if you want to maintain that kind of judgment and that kind of discrimination that is precisely what keeps you somewhere here on the periphery so you see God is caught in a catch-22 because as the singularity is the Godhead God's only desire is to share its love with all of its beings in fact the reason that there are these fragmented parts of consciousness around the singularity ______________________________________________________________________ let me translate as I understand what he's saying : _________________________________________________ What maintains my place on this periphery is precisely my inability to handle love it's my fear of love, so this axis right here of this radial model that I'm creating, the center of it is pure infinite love and the very edge of it is complete utter terror and horror and fear the stuff of nightmares and most humans are somewhere in the middle. I'm somewhere in the middle so right now I am not able to access the love of God because I'm too afraid and I'm too attached and too selfish and I'd have to give all that up. I'd have to surrender all my games and lies, my manipulation and cheating, my sexual cravings. I would have to become so conscious that I would cease seeing distinctions between people. So you see I'm caught in a catch-22 because as I am trying to realize God and God's only desire is to share its love with all of its beings but there are these fragmented parts of my consciousness it's so hard to do that. ________________________________________________________ ^^ This is what I think he's trying to say. He's afraid of being loved and loving people directly, it's overwhelming so he's trying to not have to deal with it and make love this super pure thing that has to be total selfless. So since it is so hard to do right and you would have to give up all attachments then it's better just to say home and talk about love to a video camera. I can understand this I'm going nuts too cooped up in my house under quarantine. This situation is conducive to being hermit-like and becoming further removed from social interaction. I'm not saying doing videos is bad, we appreciate these things but they are limited. We can get caught up in strange ideas about not being selective with sexual partners and discuss that intellectually but that is not the point. Monks and many gurus give up sex altogether and the rest of the cravings (to the best of their ability, the have few slips sometimes) . But sexual cravings and other attachments are a separate issue. The default of doing that is peace of mind not love.Love is something you have to go out and do. You don't need to give up everything to experience love and we don't need to come up with this special exclusive form of love "infinite love" completely selfless and pure to make it impossible to achieve. That just becomes an excuse to stay reclusive. Just love, leave the house and start doing it. Help and be nice to your fellow person. That is the highest form of love. Don't worry about higher and lower forms of love. You start out small and it grows. That is the only way. You go out and make some person to person human contact and just do whatever form of love you have at the moment. You have to start with direct human to human contact, every day to build your love. Sometimes if you been depriving yourself and someone out of the blue comes and loves you it can come as a shock, almost frightening. It melts you and your right there in front of the person breaking down. I could be talking to myself as well here.

  11. Shunyamurti How Higher Order Will Emerge From the Current Chaos "right now the hegemonic force is that of black magic but the power of white magic is now growing and it is that power based on the love of truth and goodness and purity and the one self of non-dual unity of all beings will prevail and if you have given yourself to that non dual level of consciousness that transcends the ego then you will prevail over all obstacles and all the illusions of suffering and over all setbacks it is in the nature of our true being to be victorious over all obstacles because we are inherently empowered to be masters over the mind it is now only remaining for us to choose to claim that mastery" ________________________________________________________________ unfortunate choice of words, where is this guy, in some jungle in Costa Rica?
  12. If you find a strong new interest it can diminish these things.
  13. Option 1. is the highest form of love, if not having the power to stop it , then speaking out "stop this you are killing him" Option 2. is cowardice. Love is a feeling of caring. Saying "love means accepting everything, therefore I love this killing going on" is not a feeling of caring. It is an intellectual philosophical position an excuse for apathy and cowardice with a paper sign taped to it that says "love". The highest form of love is helping your fellow human being when in distress No that is not love. The whole situation only part of you to the extent that you are observing it. "But didn't I create reality?" someone asks. If you are a grandiose narcissist you did. But what if being a grandiose narcissist is not a bad thing it's just how things are? So you created everything. Does that mean God stands around and does nothing when his creations go astray? Does a father let his child walk into the middle of the street with incoming traffic or beat up somebody else? You make choices. Non action is another choice. You make a choice to walk by someone getting killed like like you couldn't care less and then make another choice to meet your girlfriend around the corner or go sit in the park and meditate. or you might watch someone get ting killed and do nothing but watch out of curiosity. or you might have a feeling of love for your fellow human being and say loudly to the people doing the killing "stop you are killing him!" or video tape it as evidence and to dissuade them form continuing. Whatever it is some sort action against it is necessary Love is not cowardice it's bravery and compassion Rupert Spira is saying firm action is required. Does that means standing there doing nothing and telling yourself you love both of them. No, that is BS If you see someone being harmed, try to stop it or protest loudly if you can. You can do that too if Derek Chauvin was being dragged out and beaten but that was not the case Help and care for your fellow human. That is love in it's highest form. It is a simple thing. If you try to complicate it, try to intellectualize Try to put a mask on apathy and pretend it's a higher form of love then you kill love and you stand there while your fellow human being is having a knee suffocate him to death. If you want to philosophize on some aloof detached position call it what it is, that is not love, find another word. People are really killing love by using it all the time but using it in such a way where it bastardizes it's meaning. I don't think Rupert Spira would have just walked past George Floyd getting killed if he was there. You would have said something . That may not have stopped it but it shows caring. There were bystanders there protesting what was going on. Imagine if everybody had just walked passed like everything was normal? We would not even be talking about this travesty
  14. Being is the quality or state of having existence. If you are dead you might be remembered by living beings on earth but you do not have an active being in their world. Love is not being. Being is being. It means existing. Just existing obviously isn't love. Love is a particular feeling that beings who are being (living) do. Love can be expressed as action. Love in it's highest form means caring about other beings.
