I wonder if he would say the same about suicide.

Sounds like your girlfriend is part of your life purpose; otherwise, you would have no problem leaving her. If a relationship isn’t your life purpose, then why do you have a girlfriend? To distract yourself? To have a dopamine hit and some sex? No. You said it yourself, you are considering marriage. There is no problem with you doing spirituality with your girlfriend. Hell, sex is one of the best meditations there is. It gets you so in the moment and out of ego. I heard that a monk even got enlightened when he gave up meditation and had sex.

@Leo Gura I wish Leo would just play normal chess. He is playing this bizarre form of chess where the pieces are set up randomly and not how they are suppose to. I would like to see him play a regular chess game so that we can see how familiar he is with openings and traps. Also I would like to add feedback on considering playing against humans rather than bots. These bots are a waste of time.

A colleague of mine is a therapist at Betterhelp. I wouldn’t generalize to call the whole thing a scam. But I agree, in-person is better. But some people don’t even have a car. For some, it’s a platform that works for them. You can always call a place to see if they can be seen virtually.

I would recommend OP to try Betterhelp or find a local therapist that you feel compatible with. I know it costs money, but it will be money well spent. 988 is also available until you can see a therapist. In person is better.

The man can call 988. There are mental health professionals on the line 24/7. OP obviously has some desire to live; otherwise, he wouldn’t be on here asking for help. Use that same desire OP to change your life one day at a time.

I have been thinking about my use of ChatGPT and my previous criticisms of it. One of the things I value in life is sovereignty over my mind, and the issue I have found with using ChatGPT is that I implicitly give sovereignty of mind away to this one source. Whereas, the ideal is to look through different sources and not heavily rely on ChatGPT. When I am writing, I just write and not use GPT for help. When I have a question, I contemplate it before asking it for a definition. These are certain examples. But my concern is that if I have fallen into the trap of relying more on GPT, then I am not alone. How can you have sovereignty of mind when you are using GPT to do all your thinking? The ideal is to contemplate first and then consider using GPT and other sources to refine. But I don’t think you can have sovereignty of mind even when you use AI after because you will be influenced by the social matrix. Don’t forget that AI GPT is part of the social matrix! Remember when Leo talked about how doctors are influenced by pharmaceutical companies in his social matrix video and that all the research goes back into the social matrix? Well, that applies to GPT. GPT does not know what awakening is. It will never be more intelligent than me because all of its coding and responses are based off of the social matrix. AI cannot think outside of it. I am going on a month AI fast, where I stop using GPT and Claude to assist me in contemplation. I notice that even though it is helpful and useful, it ultimately goes against my goals of sovereignty of mind. I would encourage Leo and others to consider the impact of AI on their work. It might make it better, but you will give your mind to the Devil. Don’t forget that the Devil invented AI.

Everything is part of the social matrix, but my goal is to limit it. I could live off the grid or in a cave and I would be free from the social matrix, but I would not consider myself free. The social matrix allows me to live a meaningful life but can also destroy me. I now am aware of the toxic ways I used social media and GPT and now I just use them less and use other resources more.

Glock 19 is a badass gun. Anybody else got one?

That’s why I’m off social media. I only post. I don’t consume. But I do see myself using ChatGPT more than any source. This makes my research biased. That’s all I’m saying.

I got Glock 19 Gen 3 for $525. The previous owner only fired 20 rounds in it. I fired it the other day and it is badass. It has a good recoil.

Which Glock do you recommend?

Lower the bar mate. If reading 30 minutes a day is a challenge, just focus on reading 5 pages a day. Then, at least you would be picking up a book and reading.

You were being productive. It is good to overthink because the default is underthinking, like you said with tv. Now, just add some books and outdoor adventures to that and you’ll be solid.

Which type of gun do you like best out of all your guns?

I want all around. I am an adventurer, so I want one where I can use while hiking and one I can keep under my pillow. I definitely want self-offense lol.

I want it for self-defense and target practice. I want to get good at shooting. Also, self-defense is part of self development. Even Leo has admitted to owning a gun.

The opposite way lies a big difference.

Not sure this is true. Codependent people would say that. Help yourself and you help others.

So is reincarnation true? Is there life after death. I want you to contemplate the following quote: "Think of it like this: Before you were born, you were in a state of nonexistence/nothingness -- kind of like how you might imagine death to be. But yet, you were born from this nothingness. It is like you were in death already and yet you came to be! Death is fertile for birth. After you die, you do a similar process as you did when you were born. The Universe knows no time. Eternity is at the blink of an eye. This is one life out of an infinite that you'll live. Existence is the miracle. The Universe is Magic! Welcome to the game of Eternity." In this way, death can be understood as the reset for rebirth. You could be dead for a billion years, but yet, the time between your death and the next life would be as if no time passed at all just like in your sleep. When you die, it will be as if you never even lived, but it will also be as if you never died either. You've lived an infinite number of past lives already, but to live this life requires you to forget all the others. Is reincarnation true? Well, what is the alternative? That you die and never wake up? Or that you wake up from nothingness just as you have already done before? How is it even possible that you were born in the first place? Do you see how existence is like rolling a double six. It might be improbable, but the Universe is eternal. That means that it has eternity to make the 1/10000000000000000000000000000000 probability happen. This 1/10000000000000000000000000000000 is life itself. No other planet that we know of has life on it. The Universe will keep rolling until it hits the 1/10000000000000000000000000000000. But it will be as if life is a given. It will be as if rolling a double six was meant to be. If the Universe is eternal, then it makes sense that life, no matter how improbable it is, will inevitably exist. Life is inevitable because of eternity. In the same way, how could your rebirth not be inevitable because of Eternity?

It is appalling how many people voted for Trump. We never learn from history. How could America choose Trump again is actually surprising to me despite all he’s done. One woman I talked to even said that Trump is not a convicted felon because “how could he even vote?” I responded with the fact that some states allow exceptions in some felony cases. People are so misinformed. You can be a felon and still vote and still be employed. My bigger point is that to even vote for Trump implies that you are seriously misinformed about something. You can never awaken if you vote for Trump because to even vote for him implies having an unawakened mind full of devilry and bias. No amount of meditation will awaken you. You can still vote for Trump regardless of how many times you count your breaths. Contemplation seems like a better method because at some point, you will reach the conclusion that the only reason people voted for Trump was for selfish reasons. They don’t really care about anything deeper than their own walled garden. Prove me wrong.

Enlightenment isn’t a joke. It is the most important thing you can do with your life. Chasing sex and drugs is the joke. You have this one life to dive as deeply into it as you can. Fall in love with understanding reality. Enlightenment is not just realizing you are a fish in the ocean. It is realizing what the ocean and the fish actually are.

Pardon my ignorance, but is your notion of why Rogan isn’t awake is because he lacks awareness of Devils? If so, that was my entire argument. If you voted for Trump, you ain’t awake because you aren’t even conscious of what a Devil is, so how could you be conscious of what God is? I don’t deny that the Buddha can attain Enlightenment and still vote for Trump, but the fact that the Buddha voted for Trump shows that his Enlightenment is far from complete. If you have an insight but you cannot integrate it, it’s as if you don’t even understand your own Awakenings. How could you understand God but not the Devil? Sure, self-deception is part of life, but that is something else to awaken to. If you awaken to the Devil, it seems contradictory that you would still be fooled by him. Hence, you are still asleep to his tricks. If Enlightenment is dissolving the ego, then it seems egotistical to even vote Trump. To vote for Trump is all ego.

It’s AI for all we know. Doesn’t matter who you were last year. Now is what matters you Devil. 😈

You’re not getting it. Experience is relative within the Absolute Eternity. Eternity is Absolute. My experience changes but what always exists is Eternity. If Eternity exists, then it is inevitable that life exists no matter how improbable it may seem. The Universe has an infinite amount of time to create life. If it didn’t create life, then it would be as if I didn’t exist. But even if it takes 13 billion years to roll the dice perfectly, the Universe has all the time in the world for what we call the impossible. Me being reborn is inevitable because of Eternity. I’ve already done it before. What makes you certain that birth won’t happen again, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes?
