Meliodas

from what i know , he didn't , but you are right most spiritual do have sex lives , though some have got into trouble for it

but doesn't this imply that all free will operates in the orbit of predestined genetics and stuff. It seems like there is only a sliver of free will that we actually have , otherwise we already are restricted in options from the time of birth isn't it?

how does one meditate for 100hrs , if they can't do 4hrs?

because merchant navy stuff is dangerous and people dont want to do these jobs , even though they pay well , because they have to live at sea for 6 months a year

not true many formulations in science happened way before in theory before they were implemented in reality.

1. Travel 2. read books about various topics - like literally just read everything you get your hands on. 3. documentaries & different types of movies - from different types of movies and cinema , you can get an idea of different things from that particular movie or documentary , which you can research about 4. relationships 5.going out and basically just talking to anyone

but since it takes exponential time to figure it out , we can and probably break encryption with quantum computing , because we will compute in multiple states, thereby solving problems which take exponential time really fast

maybe this is not a question of survival being the chief distraction . I think people who are attracted to this stuff already have a certain predisposition and sense that tells them the limitation of what they are currently doing. Hence , they pursue higher things. Also , I don't think it's a matter of distraction. you can invent distractions in any era , previous or new ones , although the new ones are a lot more efficient . People who want to run away , run away, regardless of the era. People who want to figure it out , figure it out , regardless of the ERA. and also survival is still the chief distraction , we just changed the identity which is trying to survive . At least that's what I think

In what world sir! (jk) , personally i think gaming is much better on a pc (with the whole capability of a pc + better environment for gaming ), however ps5 is only for playing exclusive games .

Well What we call *new* is just permutations and combinations of the old , GPT-4 can create poems because it has access to large data of text based information on the internet . Similarly for AI to create something new in any scientific sense , it would have to have access to physical information , which is at least not possible now. One other thing which GPT is good at is producing code , and it can produce new code from boiler plate and bits of pieces of code already on the internet. So I think AI can discover new things , its just that it will take time , it could be in a few years, but also could be on a scale of decades

Even if we were to do that and consider the worst case in all teachings , then i dont think there will ever be a good enough teachings . With the buddhist teaching you could invest 40 years and still not reach the ultimate destination , its still not that bad from normal human perspective . Maybe you have reached the highest state because of your genetics or spawn count or something and you have the privilege to say that a buddhist practice will maybe not take us to the highest state . But i think the worst case with psychedelics and your teachings could be more dangerous , it could scar people for lives if they have bad trips or if they dont reach your levels at all and end up becoming some demented freaks......

It seems like you are not against buddhism or any other teaching but only against the ideas these buddhists and others put into people's mind.

sadhguru comes from a wealthy doctor family , and his grandfather was like the richest dude in his village

I have heard own stories from my family which basically prove the existence of reincarnation. what are your guys views on it ? Watch these Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8uqzMV1hQU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B27WRX0Auw I know that the parents of the children could be just lying to get attention , but if we put that narrative aside for a second and see what would be the implications of this being the truth?? In my family , my mothers paternal uncle used to remember his previous life till about he was 11 years old , he even went to meet his family and talk to them about it.(believe me or not , i am just telling you what i have heard) Basically , he has no reason to lie , moreover how would he know details of his previous life if it wasn't real ??

haha I get your Point , but this you know only when your awakened . TIll then life seems as real as it is , with limited identifications , fears , biases etc.till that point what would be implications of reincarnation? because after that point maybe this doesnt even matter

So i recently started working on my addictions , i have many but few are prominent. These are :- 1) Listening to music on youtube. 2)Reading and watching too much spiritual content. 3) playing video games . due to these addictions , I could seriously get no work done . So I watched Leo's Video on overcoming addiction and applied the technique , it was emotionally difficult and after a few hours i realized that was not doing anything because i didn't know what to do , so i spent time in planning and forming goals etc. I also planned to decide what to do next day every night before going to sleep , which i think will really help long term (although i allow certain degree of freedom). But right now because of years of addictive behavior , I am not able to put in more than 1 hr on work at a time , and after a certain time it becomes really emotionally frustrating to work more than 3 hrs . So here's the plan , i am planning on being consistent with my work rather than increasing the time I work , which i think will increase with due practice and consistency of a sustained period. Sort of Like in the gym , we do a weight until we become comfortable with it, then increase it . So i want to ask is this strategy good ?? and are there any suggestions you would like to give?

well the answer to this question depends on you : if the phd is really important to you and if you work hard , you will not mind getting employment at 27 because you like what you are doing . if the phd is not important to you , or you are not interested in the subjects/or plan on doing something else entirely after college , then doing a phd is not a good idea .

Look , believe it or not like I said I am not idolising Leo. I know very well that he is not perfect and nobody rarely is. But you should notice you are only talking about his personality. Be it Buddha or Leo , to only look at their personalities it is a fatal mistake . Of course as they are human they would have their own unique personality, which of course will have flaws because personality itself is subject to many things.(the times we live in , our family, environment etc.). Leo seems cocky , you are right about that one , but what to do with it ? I don’t think it’s a big deal . I only watch Leo and content for his insights , which I can inculcate into my own life and I don’t give a damn about his personality. For me Leo is just like another book, just for the sake of information…. we here are not for idolising or demonising, but for collective self actualization isn’t it ? Isn’t that the purpose of this forum ? So that we can help each other with self actualization. Leo’s value is not in his personality but his content and insights , personally that’s what I take away from him. when a man is showing you the moon with his finger , don’t miss all the heavenly glory for the insignificant finger of the one who is showing . about his healing thing : I don’t think that is a good reason to pin him down because personally I don’t think he has that kind of stability that he could pull it off right now at least.of course I am just assuming and I could be wrong . But consider my perspective.

This may sound like I’m in some sort of Leo cult or whatever , but I think that Leo recognises his blind spots well , even in his videos he talks about his problems sometimes. Moreover, it doesn’t matter if he admits his mistakes , what is more important is that he knows about them and makes a path correction, and if you have seen Leo for many years , you will realise that once he know , he surely makes a path correction

He may have issues in life which we certainly don’t know about , that may be the reasons about his videos inconsistency. about his healing: becoming conscious of a thing and applying that thing are two very different things ……. Leo becoming conscious of his abilities do not necessarily mean that he can use his abilities for such a purpose…..

I don’t think that’s right , most people say that in their 50’s becuz they never lived . When you begin to truly live fully , that’s when life actually begins I think……

Exactly, even already most people misuse it... They do psychs for entertainment purposes rather than real work

In sadhguru videos you have seen about psychedelics , he is mostly talking about casual people who just wanna have fun and waste life kind of guys . In one his books , where he is talking about various things he doesn’t talk in public , which he only talks about with close groups , he has acknowledged psychedelics . This book is not new though , the talks are from the period 1994 -1999

Why make a poll on this , I think it will just waste time , we should try to get to higher levels of consciousness instead of doing this . But do what you want lol
