@Forestluv lol what ?

When something is happening to me or especially when I'm doing something, in the back of my mind there's this, idk what to call it, maybe thought/awareness of acknowledgement and acceptance ? Or many times even in addition to that, a kind of feeling that ''Yes ! This is happening ! And I like it that I'm doing this !'' - lets call this '#'. To me, this can happen even if I'm crying in reaction to, lets say death of a kin. Logically I know I might suffer in many ways after that incident, but # is still there. In fact many times in general, It feels like I act myself into crying. This can be distracting many times during, like when I'm meditating, and something pleasant or unexpected happens, I will be attacked by # and think something like ''Damn am I about to get some awakening or shit ? Its about to go down !!''. Doesn't happen all the time with all experiences, but still more than usual. By this, it feels like I'm not actually doing the thing that I'm doing for its own sake and purpose, but rather acting like an actor, as if I'd like to do this, to make myself 'special'. What is this ? Is this something natural ? Do I got issues ? If I do got issues by the way, and I hear that from you guys down below, I'll again start having #. Also, I have this general notion/feel that everything that happens is ultimately for the 'greater good' or 'whatever is happening is accepted' - although I will NOT have this or # either if I'm in a state of deep physical suffering, like a very painful stomach ache. At that moment, ''this pain better go away right now''.

Not commenting upon the validity of their statement, but why do they have this assumption ? Did they derive it for themselves ? Did they investigate all possibilities of what a 'human being' is capable of ? If not, which is highly probably, why are they grounding themselves like this ? And what 'information' are they even talking about ? Why do they assume all this 'information' is reducable to language and could be written down on a paper ? Why can't 'omniscience' transcend language ? And what does 'keeping' information in the brain mean ? Memory ? Why do they conflate memory with infinite intelligence ?

Might save many lives.

Out of lazyness. Since past few months now I've been extremely non-productive and it is getting worse and worse. I was not always this way. But now, even the thought of working (for anything) turns me off. I can see that I'm actively creating this identity of ''a lazy normie who can't work hard'' and I'm afraid this will take me deeper and deeper till I'm at a point of no return. Its like though I don't really even feel that bad being like this, but have a sense that I might pay heavy consequences if this doesn't change rather quickly. Comfortzone101. Can you suggest something which I should do right now/start doing regularly which will cause my mind and body to work ? Thanks.

@Potato People King To be honest, no, I've not thought hard enough why I'm like this currently, I have this thought in my head (strengthened by past experiences) that even if I do, whatever solution I come up with will not get manifested properly and eventually I'll return to homeostasis.

@Potato People King I do have some goals and passions to follow, and if was able to follow effectively, I would consider that being productive - which I'm not being able to.

Leo explained in one of his videos how one and one making two is relatively true. I did not understand properly. Tried to wrap my head around it some more, still not feeling it. Despite 1 , + , = being arbitrary symbols, doesn't a single undivided item, when taken with another undivided item give us two items independent of any sentient being able to understand this ? 1 + 1 = 2 is relatively true relative to what ? Maybe form or creation ?

This was great ! Eckhart is so good at explaining the tricks and devilry of the ego.

@Leo Gura @Someone here Got it, thanks !

@LarryW But why add ? By 1 +1 = 2 I'm not really trying to add 1 and 1 , but referring to the fact that two entities if accounted for , are precisely that , two entities. 'Two' entities existing from the presence of individuals. So before adding those two droplets of water, they were two ! @Johnny5 Yeah that seems kinda plausible .

@Quantum Toad Any examples of such beings ? Or are you sourcing them on the basis of ''well, they must exist'' ? Asking because I've not heard/read about any of them till now.

Pardon me if this is a stupid question. Consider a situation where you and a 2 year old baby (whom you do not know) are sitting in a room. A psychopath enters the room with an assault rifle and announces his intention to kill either you or the baby, and tells you to choose. He will kill only 1 of you, not both. Given you are an enlightened master, what would you do ? If you choose to kill the baby, why would you do that, considering you're completely selfless ? Or even if you choose to kill your body, what would be the reason to choose the baby's body being alive over yours ? Btw, if you choose to remain silent and keep your mouth shut, the man will kill the baby by default.

@JosephKnecht Yep, he'll be aware that he is one with both the other people in the room and ultimately it doesn't matter. But what if he was to be concerned over how the result will manifest in the relative world full of societal constructs, what will be his judgement for what to do ? For example take someone like Sadhguru, who is doing so much of work for the people knowing they are not different from him. What would he do, knowing that ultimately, nothing matters ?

@JosephKnecht Ofcourse he wouldn't care, I'm not debating that. I'm talking about what choice would he make and why. Even if he doesn't care and chooses himself to get killed, why would he choose that over getting the baby killed ?

A video discussing all aspects of time including notions of past, present, future, relativity and more. Addressing all the popular beliefs, questions and assumptions mankind has had since the old ages. Talking about the debate of time being an illusion or not. And finally, what implications does this topic have about human life and self-actualization.

This classic can't be ignored lol

This is a great example of stage blue deeply questioning itself and trying to see through its own bullshit . One of the best rap songs you'll ever hear content-wise :

Around 3-4 years ago I was struggling from issues like procastination (still do) and dealing with toxic classmates and used to binge watch self help videos about these problems on youtube. I don't exactly remember which video of Leo was my first, but the first time I saw his catalog of videos and saw how long they were, I knew something was up here. Then for months I just casually watched more of his content, until I watched spiral dynamics stage blue, which got me extremely fascinated. Then some more time passed, eventually I stumbled upon the video ''Spiritual Enlightenment - The most SHOCKING Truth you'll ever hear'' and reached the point of no return.

Since Leo talked about this in his ''outrageous experiments'' video, I've been observing this and its starting to hit me hard now, seeing how accurate this is. Consider Trump, remember how you might have negative feelings about him, the images and audios of him come to mind of constantly lying, shifting blame of his failures on other people, working hard to construct an evil impression of the 'bad guys', talking in an adolescent like manner........but still, you can somehow sense his constant suffering and struggle with so much going against him, even if he is well equipped with all the material luxuries one can have , and feel sympathy for him. All he wants is love, but is sadly too ignorant to seek it in conscious ways...... Then I look at my father's tired looking face, exhausted from life long family, money and emotion related issues . He has an aura around him , which makes it seems that he has given up on the possibility of ever being truly happy, but has a subtle, very subtle hope. A lot of times I feel hatred against him for his anger issues, get frustrated over his ignorance regarding a bunch of stuff forgetting he's not doing any of this consciously. It's obvious that he is not clear about exactly what he's doing and has been doing with his life all the time ....all he unknowingly desires for is Love.... I can SMELL it near him. I examine myself now, possessing so much fear, constantly trying to improve my habits, constantly trying to get off addictions, constantly worrying about not fucking up my career, constantly trying to advance spiritually, yet having a feeling of NOT KNOWING WHAT THE HELL I'M DOING and what the fuck is going on. The uncertainity, it hurts. Since a long time ago, I desire for something large to hit me, something magnificent to penetrate this life, something magical to unfold, but the journey looks so daunting, when I open my mind to the possibility of possessing true wisdom , it overwhelms me. It certainly seems like, I'm in search of some......Love ? Not just for Trump , my father and myself, but this craving for love is, I discover, terrifyingly ubiquitous ....... it's almost as if people want nothing else .
