when the answer comes from within and you do not have to ask random forum users of course that answer is relative to me, who often finds themselves looking to others for answers I already hold. You already know, or maybe you do not. But we certainly do not. Perhaps we could note likable aspects of your idea - but opening that door creates a dependence on our opinions, rather yours. Besides, if it is a good idea - somebody could steal it after enough asking around. So my answer is really just another question all in all, what shall you do?

There’s a good probability the last sentence of what you said, with the pendulum, is correct. Nonetheless, there is no ‘white racism’ to an extent that matters. I can tell just by your profile picture you’ve (probably) never been hit with a fire hose or discriminated against. Also, what Leo said was not an egocentric statement and he did not seemed threatened at all. There is a stark difference between ‘hey the worlds ending big Orange man bad is going to destroy us and our democracy’ and what Leo said which was essentially ‘hey we should be conscious this moron might fuck some more shit up.’ Which he did. Do I think trump is directly responsible for the capital riot, no, probably not - but Leo’s prediction was spot on as far as whining and denying that he lost.

As per title. Any ideas for keeping away from these addicting monsters! Don’t get me wrong, I use my phone quite practically as well but I also waste a lot of time. I considered a flip phone but I use my phone for work and it is my main source of internet and other utilities. Thats the dilemma, I, practically, need the phone but wish I never had it. I have tried those lock boxes and such and they are pretty good, unless I need to leave the house, or something. Any tips on how to minimize smart phone usage, while still making the most out of these tools?

I can’t really seem to understand anything. If somebody brings up a topic I can talk about it and recall aspects and so forth but when I’m alone I don’t really understand anything - and it will honestly just feels I’m fooling myself into thinking I am making points and know something when speaking to others. Obviously, at the very least, I know that I do not know. But other than that it feels like limbo. Even typing this now I’m not quite sure what I am trying to say - yet I am not too bothered by this phenomenon, mostly, and often times it actually makes things feel ‘fresh.’ But other times I wonder wtf anything even is. All of the work I have put in thinking about enlightenment, the universe, etc. and all of the time I have tried to not think about it as well - it feels like I am left with nothing. I do not understand anything and my curiosity wants answers - bad. I feel like I could be either of these monks in this limbo. Anyone else? Any advice to ‘cross over’ or just have to accept what feel like endless confusion? Are people like Leo and others that are enlightened always feeling this confused? Is that what also makes them seem so certain?

@Guru Fat Bastard

@Gesundheit @Breakingthewall If he means embodiment, opposed to realization, I could still see it for realization as well. For me, at least, I feel that I’m blocking myself from a realization I’ve glimpsed because of my curiosity and need to understand what can not be; I assume.

@Nahm How does one recover it? I presume by forgetting the ‘I’ that is trying to.

@Valwyndir I will need more time to integrate this all and make sense of it. Thank you, however, I was focusing too much on the idea that infinity and zero were actually the same. Which I can see as correct, but, as you mentioned, perhaps, I had forgotten, only relatively so. Which, if things are what they are appearing to be, makes me giggle at Leo’s response. Here I have been, dumb founded, heads and tails are the same coin - I forgot which side I picked ?

I have been under the impression that we can have unlimited awakenings; an infinite amount. Doesn’t infinity = 0 though? 0 awakenings?

@Preety_India I respect the confidence - and you may be right - idk - that’s why I started this thread - but your explanation seems more taunting than teaching. Could explain your perspective on how they are different instead of just saying it is and that my perspective, which I have already admitted is uncertain, is hogwash?

@Preety_India Perhaps my questions are dumb. Nonetheless, while for the majority of my life, I had agreed with you - infinity and zero are not the same - somethings I have heard others say, including Leo, has seen pretty convincing that zero and infinity are the same thing. What Leo had explains was the number line example: all numbers positive and negative, infinitely, actually balance out into zero. I must have misunderstood something. Now it seems more so, zero is infinity but infinity is not zero.

@Preety_India Care to elaborate?

@Leo Gura I am probably just not understanding something then. I thought infinity = 0

@Leo Gura Does that mean we can not have any awakenings?

Posts like this may fit into the ‘no recruiting’ rule of this forum; you may be asked to take it down or it may be locked. You may be able to direct message others to talk outside of this forum though; I think that is allowed, uncertain. Also, in reference to your aspirations of starting a new group, for those that are younger: How can someone else hold you accountable, truly? Would you not have to grant them that ability? What is stopping you from taking that power away from them as you have taken it from yourself? Consider who really can or can not make you do anything. What would make someone else report to you for accountability?

Online, there are tests to see what your learning type is (auditory, visual, kinesthetic, etc.) Knowing this helps me. I am an auditory learner and I need not take notes for the most part. I just listen carefully and if it’s juicy, I listen again and maybe again. Maybe you are different though. Perhaps you’ll need to draw out visualizations or make hands on exercises. Nonetheless I think one of those online tests would be good to concrete your dominant learning style and figure out some personal learning styles. Take a couple maybe.

I listened while I was driving. While listening I found it rather easy to abandon past rationalizations and imagine they never existed. It was very, very fun. Once I got home, I smoked a bit of weed and ran through what was said again. I was no longer driving and could consider it all more. I wouldn’t say I was scared but I get into these trances where I like to pace. So I paced for about a half an hour. Pacing helps me think - but all I could think - chronologically - was first : everything is an idea. I couldn’t look, hear, sense, feel - anything that wasn’t produced as a thought. Then I felt retarded. Still do actually. It’s the only way to put it. But I continue to pace, feeling slightly unsettled; considering I’m completely alone. Among other strange considerations like knowing everything is an idea but I don’t actually understand why or anything more at all. I just felt my vision, my everything - as a singular idea. Nonetheless I continued to pace, bouncing between just generally saying ‘it’s fucking beautiful’ and then pointing out ‘distinct’ things like my blender; it’s beautiful. Everything around me, I had realized before but more so now, I realized is for me. For love. The box of a house I live in. My clothes, food, money - EVERYTHING. So beautiful. I don’t understand it at all. I, even having watched the video yesterday, even not being high on weed right now - feel so loved. Tears actually came to my eye writing this. I’m so lost and confused - but it’s all just so pretty. Thank Me you’re all here ????

This was amazing!

@Forestluv I love you. Even though your ‘Twitter fun’ actually scares the shit out of me and idk what to do about it - I love you - that’s hilarious - I want to try it now ?

@Mvrs You must love yourself and turn your attention inward to experience the answers to your questions personally. I can open a bunch of doors, and maybe that’ll happen in just a moment here, but you decide if you walk through. Your physical body will die, but you will live on. How did it feel before you were born? That is how to will feel when you die. Certainly beyond words that feeling. I like to imagine it’s like opening your eyes from a deep sleep somewhere other than home; you forgot where you were but you remember now.

There is no such thing as ‘unawareness.’ Even in the sentence ‘There is something I am completely unaware of,’ for example, there is still an awareness. Like physics says, essentially, ‘there is no such thing as cold, only lack of heat.’ Awareness=Heat in this analogy. So, basically, ‘there’s no such thing as unawareness, only lack of awareness.’ But even if we could become completely unaware of EVERYTHING all at once - there’d be NOTHING left to be aware of; we wouldn’t even know it happened. Just although what if EVERYTHING became 10x bigger - would you actually notice anything getting bigger?
