This video helps you deepen your understanding of gravity and relativity, enjoy. For most of you it will probably change the way you look at gravity...

Thank you Leo!!❤

@justfortoday Yup, your recontextualization technique sounds about right. About 2 years ago I "slipped" into that state of awareness and haven't "returned" ever since lol. Well, but it's the way things always were. For most people it's in the "wrong" context though. When I suddenly understood that the whole universe was/is me and that it is right here, right now, there's nowhere to go, there's only one Subject that observes itself through everything there is, it made me feel like I went insane. There was no I, and there was nowhere to go. No "escape" (but there's no one to escape either?). You are emphasizing the visual aspect of this realization, I'd like to add something to this: Listen to some sound. Put on some "Om chant" on YouTube or something (it doesn't really matter what you listen to, but the Om chant are long and repetitive sounds). Now, close your eyes and listen. And then try to hear the "hearer" and that which is "heard". As you will find there's no difference. Only boundless sound without locality, appearing and disappearing in consciousness. Nobody listening, nothing that is listened to. Only that which is. It might be a bit easier than the visual aspect, because visual perception is our primary intake and therefore I think associated more strongly with "what reality is".

Have you ever contemplated what Fun is? Is it taking risks? Is it the tension you feel in the prospect of the possibility of something going "wrong" without the component of being serious about it? Why are some things fun? What is it about them? Everything can be regarded as a fun activity (right?), but why? Is it the sheer joy of Being? Is it involvement? Or is it simply activity for it's own sake? Just like Love that loves everything for its own sake?

@Hawkins Your telephone directory. You're welcome.

I'd like to start a collection of quotes from Leo. Many of the things he says are very inspiring, funny, wise, outrageous, weird, etc. and I think a collection of quotes would be a cool and useful thing to develop. Just share your favorite things he said or wrote in either his videos or here on the forum.

Here, some brain candy for ya. This episode is from the Lex Fridman Podcast with Michael Malice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIk1zUy8ehU (PS: "The link could not be embedded because www.youtube.com does not allow embedding of that video.")

I hope everybody here recognizes that it's not possible to "stop your brainwaves" and that this obviously is a hoax...

You're frustrated because you expect them to understand. Drop your expectations or at least regulate them to an appropriate level. I could tell you about some deep insight I had - but neither would I expect you to understand nor would I be frustrated if you weren't even ready to use my insight as guidance. What do they ask for? You insights?

As long as you are aware of the fact that it's only a game there's absolutely nothing wrong with competitive sports, I think. After all, what do you think the ego is? A game.

Lol. This is basically just advertisement People who'd rather follow this dude are the only people who will miss out on this treasure - everybody who recognizes the value will stay, so nothing's lost.

Ahh yes. Welcome to another episode of "Classical Actualized.org Forum Conversation". Gotta love it.

What's your favourite leisure time activity?

No?

You create your own obstacles by creating goals. No desire, no problem.

I'm such a special turkey. The best turkey, I tell you. Huge.

Darwin was a genius. It takes a lot of courage and intellectual integrity to come up with something like the Theory of Evolution in his times... Nice article!

You're still creating dualities where there aren't any... "That's not the ultimate". Oh yeah? How could something be excluded from the Ultimate (/Non-Duality)?

But that's the point!!

@Dodo Show me the difference between 1 and zero

That's a great insight! Oh? And why is that?

What's the deepest insight you can have? Is there even a deepest insight? Is it the insight that insight into the nature of consciousness is an infinite enterprise because consciousness is infinite itself?

Damage to the brain does not imply "damage" to consciousness. He confuses perception with consciousness. Of course, perception is held within consciousness, but consciousness is not perception. A counter argument could be: you could damage your perception organs and thereby "damage consciousness" (according to his logic), like for example if you were born blind, you wouldn't see anything at all (nothing, not even blackness), or if I would damage your visual cortex (or the whole occipital lobe), you would also not be able to see anything at all any more (again: not even blackness, because blackness is a visual perception). If you were born blind, your occipital lobe and your visual cortex might be perfectly fine - but your eyes might not function. Same result, it's just a change in perception (which occurs within consciousness), not in consciousness itself. Consciousness is not an epiphenomenon which has "physical, material reality" as its origin - "physical reality" is just an idea which is also occurring within consciousness. At least admit that, Elon!
