@Cred Reality only needs consciousness. Consciousness creates, interprets and provides the sense of interaction, all in one swift act.

Lol

@Alexop My survival is aligned with Truth. There are no negative effects there. It seems like the debate with how far to go with the Truth is personal to you and one you are debating with. It can be easy to project it off on to others, especially when we see them react negatively to one of Leo’s videos or simple notions of Truth. However, I’d argue you wouldn’t be focused on this if you weren’t regretting or debating how far you should be going or have gone with Truth yourself. I asked a similar question for myself in a thread, recently. ’To live for Truth or by it,’ essentially. Tricky decisions.

It’s going to blow your mind when you realize there’s only one mode of anything lol.

@Cred It slightly even more ironic. Your model is almost like the psychology ‘models of models.’ The model acknowledges different modes of being, some modes being a mode of modeling itself. Modeling is inherently indirect, yet the better the model—the more direct. So, if you are modeling a model of direct experience • mode of modeling • etc. Just those two modes inherently describe the irony. You cannot experience the mode of modeling through any mode but the mode of experience. It is definitionally impossible/logically incongruent.

@Alexop You have some mid to strong observations that are now clearly layered in some frustration. I would recommend asking yourself how philosophy may be affecting your life personally, before we argue generalities.

Reality only needs consciousness. Consciousness creates, interprets and provides the sense of interaction, all in one swift act.

@Hojo I had this happen with my guitar years ago. Leo mentioned ‘just look at something, appreciate it—no words! Can you even do that? Pick something and look at it until you forget what it’s called.’ My guitar stopped being a ‘guitar’ to me. I realized I had baggage and expectations to playing my music and it went back to being this odd box with some strings on it; I saw it like a kid again. — Before I knew about how cars worked— ‘Car’ referred to this seamless thing I would enter and could move me to somewhere else. Eventually, I learned about all the pieces of a ‘car’ and my idea of what I thought an entire car was completely changed! I actually merged with the car. I can hear noises in a car and respond like it’s my body. Quite odd.

OP, your line of questioning is super vague. Have you done psychedelics at all OR are you stuck in a state now? This feeling you describe is quite basic when doing psychedelics and your other questions depend on what it is you took, how much, mood, intent, environment, what you ate before, etc. In general, one may carefully and safely source and consume proper psychedelic doses and patiently take them over time to intentionally develop this feeling you mention, be it for the first time or to experience it more generally or even sober. Of course

Why would Leo be responsible for any of this?

These models are fun but if you ultimately craft this, it’s going to distort your interpretation of the world.

This thread is semi-non-directional. Philosophy being dirty work is just one philosophy. OP seems to have some personal ideas tied into the pursuit of Truth.

You all preach context and subjectivity and then call straight men defensive for not liking penises or trans-women. You guys can’t even define new terms or your own sexuality so when a straight man, who really, really, simply, will fuck anything—except something with a penis— you guys lose it. ”It doesn’t make sense! Those aren’t the rules! We have new terms!” Yet the infighting continues because while trans-ideology and new gender theories can help individuals with unique circumstances, the framework is logically abysmal to the point where you guys can’t even define it amongst yourselves and it has corrupted our social fabric. Do whatever you want. But if you can’t explain it, keep it to yourself or at the very least know it’s obvious; your lack of direction.

I do not think OP intended this to get political. Besides, the answer is not political. The world, especially Americans, have been handed more personal power, autonomy and consequently more responsibility than any other time in history. At the same exact time, other responsibilities are being taken for the sake of convenience and many feel their power leave with their purpose. It turns out, personal autonomy is not societal autonomy. Yet—while each component of the modern world becomes more secularized and specific—naturally, so do people. And unfortunately the people are still stuck on freedom—not what they can do with it. How does an ant know where to stand?

I do not know that I have made too many giant decisions in my life yet. In highschool, I decided to trash my grades and sell most of my possessions, though. In hindsight, the decision was actually easy. I could have never foreseen the effects, however. I knew I did not want to go to college and I had different priorities than most people. It was difficult keeping that narrative while teachers, parents, principles and ultimately the law were involved. I evaded truancy but accepted I wouldn’t go to college because of my grades. I was misunderstood for a long time. I even remember taking college classes in highschool for no credits and I’d give speeches and write papers on how ineffective and scammy college was… in the college classes. People really did not understand. About 7 years later now—half of those people dropped out of college. Half of the people that did not still do not have a job in the field they went for. I apply my skills I learned actually living life in high school to maintain flexible work hours and focus on myself still. I have a ‘1/4 life crisis’ because I am afforded one— I am able to think ‘oh I could’ve been doing this differently’ and change my life style because I never locked myself into student debt or a ‘company job’ as a doctor or engineer. The decision was between Freedom and Conformity. And I supposed I decided to take on the consequences of non-conformity pretty early and aggressive.

@NewKidOnTheBlock You’re fine. Thank you for your input.

I tried to watch Fallout S1 when it came out and I felt uncomfortable. It almost felt counterfeit or as if someone stole the IP and tried to make something DIY. The Halo show is even worse. I couldn’t make it through 10 minutes. Shows like these always have mid or below special effects and try to pay homage to too many things at once. They would almost be better off acting out each cutscene from the games scene for scene.

Also, nobody here has any clue what they’re talking about with energy, lightness, or denseness or aura or any of this stuff. This is all speculation and undefined.

@AION You obviously did not watch the video and are making assumptions. You belittle women almost every time I see a post of yours. You have confidence but no substance. You make comments about ‘real killers’ yet still think they come out of boxing gyms. Get serious about something other than word play. This forum is the best god damn thing that’s ever happened to you and you are simply ungrateful.

I do not believe in the butt hole or anything of the sort! Witch!

I use this magnesium. I am about 150lbs. I take 100mg in the morning and 100mg at night or just 200mg at night. Any more and I think I’d pass out and shit myself.

@Inliytened1 The point is: The patronizing remarks and snide comments coming from your direction and I will not be spoken to in a condescending way. You present information while implying something negative about my or others awareness or intelligence. That’s the issue and it is running counterproductive with whatever part of this conversation you refer to.

@Inliytened1 Hey man, I don’t know what has you so worked up about this particular issue, but it’s going to be alright. You either feel sure about what happened or you don’t. Other people are always going to have their opinion. I have cycled through a few myself on this topic. As for how it happened, I found @Leo Gura ‘s video quite conclusive and a nice addition from what has been confirmed and also what I know about guns, growing up in the Midwest. If you don’t agree with that, speculation and anger is not going to help anything. Sure, it’s not apart of the rules list but throwing a fit, as a mod— I expect a higher level of precision. That has nothing to do with your well being and if your mind is not made up on Kirk or you are not in a good spot mentally with it, reach out to me, someone close or a professional if necessary.

@Leo Gura Where did you get this information? I’m not sure it is conclusive.

Your post already proves you never gave up. — Also, ART is an extremely difficult accomplishment, and with ’Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’ it is considered the highest accomplishment and in a sense CANNOT even happen without the ENTIRE pyramid being acknowledged, thoroughly. — If you’re not satisfied with the amount of art you produce, then you must produce more of what produces art. — When you can breathe, eat, sleep somewhere, etc. it’s fairly easy to stay healthy, maintain employment, basic relationships, etc. — When you can maintain basic relationships, a job, health, etc. it’s fairly easy to go into deeper relationships, more aligned jobs, a sense of community, etc. — At this point, most people level out. If you don’t maintain all of this like a clock, you’ll never maintain/keep/become used to stability, confidence, respect, intimacy, etc. (the next ‘step’ on the pyramid.) And you need all of those things for ART, the ability to properly question morality, experience meaning, etc. — All other instances are flukes, miracles, one hit wonders, chance, freak natural talent, genetics, etc. — You have to make yourself want to draw. That’s not force, it’s grace. Grace by taking care of yourself and realizing every time you’ve wanted to draw it was a privilege. The ultimate privilege. — And if you’re doing everything you think you can and still don’t want to draw but have the time, supplies, etc.— you just have to face that head on. Improve at your pace, learn technique at your pace, decide if you want to draw for fun or a living, etc. There is not one song, painting, drawing, poem, person, etc. that everybody single person enjoys. And you should recognize if something can or can’t be profitable and how long it should take to be— while still testing, trying, etc. — But there’s no words that will make you draw haha. It’s all the other stuff. However, narrative can have a positive or negative effect at any point.
