@Adam M I have an amazing girl friend who totally calls me out on my bullshit, and then we just laugh about. I return the favor too. I think if no one is taking themselves too seriously to start with, you can see things that aren't aligned with truth much more easily, but without much backlash. I have problems when it starts to feel only onesided. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. " Proverbs 27:17

Matt Kahn anagram, Nahm Katt.

Meditation is meant to break the mind's pattern of assigning cause of effect. So meditation isn't a cause of anything.

That's what happens when you go too far with your personal devilopment.

Eckhart and Kim don't even live in the same house.

Bars and clubs are stage orange environments and pick up really only is targeted to stage orange people and environments. People will be rated and valued. There are completely different ways of relating with people in other environments. It is harder for the male mind to grasp and learn how to judge and rate his own level of success in other environments. Nothing drives a man more crazy than that. We seek relationship with the other to define ourselves. Women usually use how they feel to judge their relationships but men like to have criteria that the logical mind can use.

Do you want motivation or inspiration? Do motivation or inspiration actually come from outside sources?

Whose enlightenment? Yours or hers?

Stressing yourself out over toxins and making intelligent positive choices to improve your health are two different things. It's important to know the difference for yourself.

Can we have Joseph back?

I wouldn't be disappointed.

As you start to see the world as an outside projection, or rather that there's really no inner or outer, you see how you create your own obstacles, often by labeling events as obstacles and feeling resistance to them. We become aware of how inner resistance creates outer obstacles. Inner resistance reflects our outer obstacles, our obstacles reflect our inner resistance and they appear to arise together and seem to require each other. When we see that while they are one and the same, one does not create the other in a cause and effect manner, there are new ways of seeing and relating with the world. Nothing changes/everything changes.

Sigh.

Hey Leo did you know that bald eagles mate for life? That's probably why you see them alone so much.

Enlightenment is woven throughout art, creative works, kids books, literally everything is "speaking" it. Get more creative in your use of language and stop feeling responsible for whether someone "gets" what they already are or not. There's inherent joy in creative expression. That's all teaching really is.

Not being you dead unfeeling zombie unicorn, feeling. It's not A feeling, it's feeling itself. Ya feel me?

Well that's the fun of duality. There's no experience or desire for light without dark. Why do you strive for it, out of discomfort of the opposite or passion for it?

Love is feeling itself and not a feeling. There are no feelings outside of thought or judgement (nouns) just feeling (verb). Feelings (nouns) are labels for something dead and gone.

Oh. My. God. My mind just cannot. CANNOT. All you can do is laugh.

Is your name actually Leo Gura?

Your own body has intelligence and intuition that science doesn't have yet, especially not tailored to you. When you start cutting out and demonizing huge categories of food (like carbs for example ) you not only cut yourself off from your bodies intuition, but you basically cripple your ability to eat a varied diet and eat food in moderation. Go to the super market with beginner's eyes every once in a while, don't get stuck in a food rut and you likely won't accumulate high amounts of any one toxin to cause issues.

Uh oh. Better get tested for the Rona.

@Nahm Don't make me sing.

Thinking of a country that actually is so fluid, complex and changing as we speak, no concept we can have it of it is anything short of completely ridiculous. And that lesson applies to individuals also. You can't conceptualize them because everything you conceptualize is dead and past. Don't hafta wait for anyone to die or get voted out of office cause the concept is all there is, and it can be dropped. Even if you still hold on to it, that doesn't make it real. So it just doesn't make any sense to suffer because there's a President you don't like, vote, campaign, yell, scream, swear, whatever, but you don't have to suffer for it. Don't use people and circumstances you have no control over to perpetuate feeling bad. Just reach for feeling better. Strangely enough that's how real change is made anyway.

No at the time, I only watched Leo and was also really into Eckhart Tolle's stuff, I hadn't expanded much beyond that. Terrence McKenna talks about "Moby Dick" too. Also at that time I read "Through the Looking Glass" and "Peter Pan" and had a similar realization. Then I reread "The Scarlet Letter" which I had read in high school but it was an entirely different book. @Nahm
