I’m almost done with the book. I will post my full critique here when I’m finished. He is starting to break the matrix near the end of the book

Yeah. He keeps going deeper into Physicalist explanations. Nothing wrong with it per se. It is a different perspective.

He explicitly states consciousness is caused by brain states. That what you are is a body and mind doesn’t exist. Idealism would say the opposite.

Peter Ralston is a physicalist. I’m 3/4 done with the book, and he is making physicalistic arguments. He basically says consciousness is a byproduct of the body/brain. Anybody else get this vibe?

Soaking.

Another contradiction in Peter Ralston’s teaching is the assertion that mind doesn’t exist. It’s funny though because he is using his mind to claim mind doesn’t exist.

While in school, I remember correcting my math teacher a few times from mistakes he made. Even the great professionals make errors and aren’t exempt from deception. Had I of not have questioned and followed blindly, I would have learned improper math. Not sure what your point is or what you’re trying to accomplish with that comment.

Peter Ralston also claims that all experience and understanding is relative and not absolute. He also seems to have very materialistic answers to questions, saying that the brain is the source of all experience and that there is only body and no mind.

Leo’s deconstructing rationality series was pretty good. Now, I think is a great time for Leo to make a video on Absolute Rationality. Reality is structured in an Ontologically Tautology. Therefore, there is an Absolute Rationality/Logic that goes along with that realization. The Absoluteness of Rationality was something that was missing from Leo’s series or was maybe another series on its own. What do you think?

The N word.

Thanks. I will post more on this thread as I read the book in here to clarify misconceptions I and other readers may take from the book.

Keep up your great work on IG. I loved the Skyrim brain! 🧠 @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura Keep up your great work on IG. I really like how succinct your insights are on that. Keep it up.

I understand and appreciate your perspective. I see it the opposite way. Anger is the normalized emotion in men, whereas sadness, anxiety, fear, etc. are demonized and suppressed. Women, on the other hand, are ostracized for expressing anger, whereas expressing anxiety and sadness are more normalized for women than anger.

Cool stuff. I just read your post now Leo about you not disclosing chemical until in-person meeting. After your retreat, will you disclose the chemical to this community in the future?

I had it. It’s pretty good. I love root beer so it was good.

We are all asleep to a higher level of consciousness. Even the most awakened person is asleep relative to a higher level of consciousness but is at the same time more awake than the sleeping herd.

Leo’s birth is imaginary. Nonetheless, happy birthday.

Pretty much everything you do can be conformity. It is all about the motivation not the activity itself per se.

Protests.

Damn. That Mt. Everest blog post was a good one. Bring it back!

@Leo Gura i am loving the blog posts of late. Helps me integrate the work. Thanks!

Nice one! A great and powerful meditation. 🙏

Majorie Taylor Greene is the last person I would guess to stand up against Donald Trump. This is a step in the right direction for her, but I doubt the Devil has been defeated. The level of denial in these Conservatives is insane.
