    I straight up saw some sort of spirit/ghost when I was baby, it was 100% there. It had a blue tint around its body and it looked like a child. I remember looking around at my mom to make sure I wasn't dreaming but I couldn't even talk at that age. The only reason I remember it is because of how shocking it was.

    For some reason it seems children are able to see this stuff more easily

     You see what I mean?

    Yeah animal psychology is weird. I've seen a video of a deer eating a small bird even though deer are considered herbivores. I also saw a video of a horse eating a baby chick right in front of the mother. It seems like they are very unaware of their actions in relation to other animals. Really, they'll just eat whatever their body allows them. 

    I think it is possible for an animal to truly love but they are scavengers by nature and when you die you leave them no other source of food. Who knows what is really going on in their head though.

    There may be such a thing, but if such a thing does exist it would be a relative mechanic in this world and not an absolute feature of reality

    So, it wouldn't have to necessarily apply to some other reality. Maybe another universe exists where there is no such thing as "old souls" or past lives or whatever, assuming it exists in this one

    But for your main question, I don't think you would keep a limited form of consciousness eternally, because that is eternal ignorance and suffering

    Perhaps for a while you would retain certain information from past lives in your consciousness/soul, but I don't know if such a mechanism actually exists

    Reality will not lie to you

    Truth = exactly what exists. Something cannot exist if it is a lie, otherwise it's not a lie and it is real.

    If someone tells you Santa Clause exists, what is true is that someone told you Santa Clause exists, not that you actually witnessed Santa Clause existing in your direct experience. 

    It is possible to witness Truth and turn it into delusion though, see the Santa Clause example above. You might have actually believed Santa to exist because someone told you so, even though it was never in your direct experience. Then, what is real is your delusion about Santa Clause.

    I think I just understood what you are saying. The perception isn’t the self deception but it’s what I think about the perception which is the self deception?

    Yeah basically. Leo also has videos on Truth you can watch

    It's also a good example of the kind of bullshit police have to deal with every day. You can see how this would test even the best cop's patience dealing with such people year-round.

    Police Activity is a really good channel to see what its like from the cop's perspective (Not for the faint of heart, obviously)

    Look at how fast this situation turns deadly

    In this video you can see how hard it can be to decide when it is acceptable to use deadly force. I honestly think she should have shot earlier, the guy was WAY to close, you'd be surprised at how fast people can cover distance.

    Yeah it is pretty hard to decode certain parts of religion. But also religion is sort of trivia, it's not necessary for learning spirituality. It's a finger that points to the moon, and not a very good one after all the years of manipulation and devilry involved with it.

    I would really like a video on religions though, would be cool.

    Rules from the Core Principles

    53 - Satisfy your base needs so that you stop craving. Water, food, money, sex, etc.
    54 - Master your basic survival and livelihood.

    Basic survival needs to be mastered first, because how are you gonna self-actualize if you're homeless? You gotta get your foundation built before moving onto the big stuff. 

    Easier said than done though, I'm in the same position as you at 17 years old and I'm trying to find ways to make money right now.

    Self-esteem is just another way of saying self-respect

    You will actually have more self-respect the more selfless you become (counter-intuitively), because by becoming less identified with ego you will broaden your sense of worth beyond the confines of the ego

    Self-esteem = confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect. (No need to glorify a false identity to achieve this)

    Self-esteem != Bragging about your money to everyone.

    If you truly had self-esteem, there would be no need for bragging in the first place. This is actually just the ego trying to survive through validation from others, whereas true self-esteem means getting validation from yourself rather than from others. Also, notice how in this situation your entire self-worth depends on validation from others through having money, this is how the ego jeopardizes and limits your self-esteem.

    The real disrespect is confining your self-worth to a limited egoic construct

    The entire game of the ego is survival, so yes keeping itself immortal. But immortality is a game it will always lose, the ego will either evolve or perish at some point. Also, it does not have to be literal physical immortality. It only wants itself, as a virtual identity, to be immortal. Maybe that does not involve the actual physical body, but physical immortality may be a popular goal for the ego as it fits in with the self-preservation agenda.

    Bottom line, ego loves to be attached and prevent impermanence so that it can preserve itself. But, the thing that it wants to preserve does not have to be the physical body.
