Good for you. Next step is follow-through cash-out. This is where you gotta dangle your balls in front of the world because you want em licked, you dirty bastard. Who you are and what you want has nothing to do with your persona-game of getting them titties in your face. You should change your bio to this: "I bear witness to the reality that I am a titty devil and Leo Gura is the motherfucker that I use to buttress this point while simultaneously ignoring it because, deep down, I know better." Mashallah

No, actually, you are asking nonsense question, Princess. If I said, blahblahblah, look at my toes, now look at my arse, now scratch it while doing a backflip and EXCALIM "OM MANI PADME HUM!" And this is not even to mention you are expecting an answer?? And have audacity to say other people response not logical enough??? Your op didnt even pose a proper question. You just said, look here, look there, now abracadabra whizzlepop, what happened? Explain me that. No! No one gonna explain you that! You are fknnnn insane! Insane! If you are not joking, and seriously looking for an explanation for whatever the fuck kind lf question you hopefully don't still have, then 1st place to look is psychiatrist office. All the best, Princess.

I also believe you are strawmanning the fuck out of Israel. If savages came into your backyard, raping the women and burning the babies, what happens next? To call it a genocide is intellectual laziness. The issue is more nuanced than that.

How do you figure the dog dies before you pull the trigger? This is not Einstein's physics. This is Gura's physics.

Sounds to me you gotta break this shit off Obviously it's your decision, your situation, your relationship, your life — obviously! But that you would take the matter of breaking up with your 4 year old girlfriend to an internet forum shows that you are not clear about this. If you are not clear about this (and considering the beans you spilled, re: depression on her part and it weighing you down), it does indeed make sense to break it off (to me). That is, it makes sense to me. I was in a long term relationship with some nice lady. I totally forgot who I was in that relationship. Took me months after the breakup to realize that. You might be in the same situation. It might be the case that your identity and sense of self is so intimately wrapped up with her that you have no remaining Individuality and identity outside of her. Regaining that and finding yourself again is more than enough of a reason to break it up. My logic comes from this assumption: You are more important than her. And you specifically said that she has you feeling "emotionally drained." This should tell you everything you need to know to move forward. Go regain yourself. Sulk in despair. Fight demons. Kick ass. And do it alone. That's my advice. I hate people on this forum who give advice like the advice I'm giving. I recognize that. I hate myself. But if you do listen to my advice, it's because you know you needed to. One would NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, break up with their girlfrienf because some anonymous fucker on the internet told them to if they truly, deeply loved them and were commited to the long term of the relationship. So, with that being said, break this shit off, and watch the cookie crumble. God Bless.

There is someone lurking beneath all the concepts and judgements. It's just not a person. It's God.

Why the fuck does Leo spend so much time watching YouTube videos? His whole blog is filled with YouTube videos that are hours long. Presumably, he is watching them. I sure hope that he is watching the content in full that he posts for his thousands of followers to watch. But this raises a question: isn't a mysticman supposed to be doing a lot more of nothing? Ramana never watched YouTube! Horror video games? Makeup tutorial criticism videos? Pop culture bullshit? In the name of God? I mean, c'mon, Leo! Get to work! Do nothing, man! It seems so obvious to me that an enlightened man must be doing meditation all day long, not out of a sense of obligation, but naturally. A wizard would not indulge in watching YouTube videos. A wizard would be honing his jinxes, brewing mystery sauces in his cauldron, cultivating a deeper connection with God... And here Leo is watching fucking youtube!! Hours of it a day! I mean, surely some days he locks himself in his closet, but why not everyday! Is it not true that an enlightened man must act a certain way? Aren't there standards? Conditions? Expectations??? Something to ponder.

Please share any thoughts you have about the distinction between judgement and assumption to help fuel my contemplative efforts. AI: The line gets blurry, however, which is why I brought this topic to the forum

Thank you all for your responses. I have arrived at the conclusion that judgement and assumption are so intimately interwined... That the very distinction between them would be both an assumption and a judgement (or a series of both acting with and against each other)! That is to say that any question that can be asked must must must be grounded on baseless assumptions and judgements... Judging by the situation, the question is valid... And one assumes that the question CAN be answered, otherwise... Why even ask it at all? Seeking and problem-solving as a past time or hobby makes sense because one feels bored and so occupies their time. But acting out of a place of neccesity, that is, pretending as if any of "This" matters and holds any "objective standing" independent of the mind's endless fabrications.. Is hubris and hypocrisy at their pinnacle: the amalgamation of assumptions and judgements working together to Again obscure the only reason we all ever stumbled upon... This existence that we call X, Y, and Z!

Good question. Indeed you can't control the boiling of the blood. But you can choose not to react in childish way. Breathe. Be conscious. Don't feed the anger with story. The anger arose in the 1st place because of story. Because of past trauma. Identity. Attachment. If you were as conscious as Buddha, nothing piss you off. Buddha doesn't care to die. Buddha already dead man walking. To fully answer your question, force is the way. Call it rage reciprocity. Some people have to be put in their place, that is, if you aren't willing to just walk away, which is always the best option. If you are forced or want to stay around or engage with such people, that is, fucking dickheads, then temper them, scream if you must, point out their bullshit, put em in their place!! No problem with feeling anrgy... you feel the anger for a reason! Let it out! Let it out in a mature way from a place of love. Such a thing is possible but requires high degree of enlightenment. I know an enlightened guy. He does not act as you might imagine. Yes, he is infinitely compassionate. But infinite compassion does NOT align witb fhe fantasy you have of it. Infinite compassion can mean screaming at someone to their face in such close proximity and so intensely that you scare the living fuck out of them... Just sayin..

ima tell you straight up bro Stop telling yourself that x, y and z happened. Stop recaptiluating your love story in your head. Such lies! Especially telling yourself how good it was and etc. Etc. Fucking etc. You need to stop dwelling on the past. Sounds like a platitude? Wrong!! This is the source of your problem, and it seems deeply rooted in selfishness! Go out and focus on something or engage in an activity that is NOT about you!!! Go revel in the mystery of nature, your toilet bowl. This is all RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! Take a walk, a shit, a shower, something! Have a beer, a smoke, make a game, play a game, eat some rice. Do 10 jumping jacks. Realize that life is beyond you. In all ways. And you continuing to TELL YOURSELF about Allll the shit that you think definitely happened to you.... Stop that! First, it is myopic and selfish. Stomach that. It screams "look at me, my story so important, I am sad boy, so hurt and alone!" Bullshit! Life is happening about you all the while! So go dance and play! Have fun, man! Let loose! Why the fuck not?? Don't make an excuse! If not anything else, deeply contemplate these matter, bc if you understood them, there would be no chance for you to wallow in such petty problems. I say this out of love bro. You can experience such bigger & better dimensions of reality, just gotta step out of these self-stories and into your boundless nature, potentiality, wonder, insanity, perhaps, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!! GOOD DAY!

Everybody simmer the fuck down & put your phone away and go eat some goddamn breakfeast, Jesus Christ. God is in your noodles, ladies and gentlemen.

No worries, Princess, there is only love in the air.

I make a distinction between "spiritual people" and one who is actually enlightened, free of himself, operating from a place of openness indefinitely, as breakingthewall CLAIMS he does... To actually meet such a person in real life is a gift so precious that you wouldn't recognize it. These people may be so hidden that even You wouldn't know it if they were Sucking Your Cock! I am talking about a modern-day Buddha. Have you ever met one before? If not, then how can you know how many of them exist, if there even are such people "out there?" How do you know that Leo actually exists, living in his Las Vegas home? What if you were to obtain his IP address, track him down, bust his door open, and find an ethereal ghost taking a shit with a newspaper in hand and a cigarette in the other? That is, what if even Leo is a projection of your MIND? Anyways, this is a divergence from the topic of this post: that is, what if more people are enlightened than you think? Fucking hogwash! Find an enlightened person. I dare you. You would know how precious and rare such a person really is. Even in this day and age. Perhaps especially so. It is so goddamn rare to find a person like this. And if you do, they are sure to break every fantasy you have of what such a person must LOOK LIKE! Good day.

Nah dude, just the opposite. More people are fools than you think. If you ever find an "enlightened person," you better start counting your fingers.

Completely agree. This forum is fraught with the ghosts of pretention, arrogance, narcissism, posturing, unconsciousness in general, God-complexes, people desperately & feebly & unwittingly projecting their insecurities onto other people through their joke of giving advice. It is one thing to reach out to another from a place of genuine care, because you sense their pain and wish to extend your heart out to them, to make them feel heard, to let them know that you care about what they're going through.. And entirely another to "offer advice" in the form of "do's & do nots," "shoulds & should nots," rigid generalities grounded on personal anecdotes or, even worse, some bullshit they heard from Shunyamurti, David Goggins, or some feminist weeping crackpot of a magical stone healing woman with long hair, multiple rings on each finger, and a fucking peace sign necklace. Namascaram.

I haven't cried since I stubbed my toe back in the binkie days. You know, toddler shit? I can't even remember the last time I actually cried! Well, that ain't true, I cried when my girlfriend threatened to break up with me to my face, but that wasn't genuine, not by any means. Was just looking for some goddamn sympathy. Or at least a way to keep her around. Can't be left alone with my thoughts now, can I? Fuck it. My question is if it is normal/healthy/okay by your standard that I haven't cried in..... years! What's wrong with me? Should I post this on the health sub? Do I need to watch another horror story or film or telenovela? Was watching one of Leo's blog posts from a few years ago, at the end he was crying, looked real, was kinda cute. I thought, why don't I ever cry? Now, I was watching a sad video, some old man who was a hostage in Gaza for 500 days & was released just to hear his mother & daughter were murdered back on the 7th. That's a big "FUCK!" moment So ya I listen 2 podcast & very difficult. Man was going thru some shit, could hear it in his voice. As he recounted the perspectival horrors of suffering in the dark tunnels underneath Gaza, it struck me that this is some fucked up shit, that I am fortunate California suburb boy, got a bag of chips with me here, blahblahablah, so ya, I almost shed a tear. but then I just laughed like insensitive animal, wtf is wrong with me, folks? I hear spiritual folk talking about crying in the river of love because God is so beautiful, and Leo is doing it too. It must be some natural response to seeing beauty, or something, I figure, surely, right? Crying? Wtf is up with me? Or maybe I don't have to cry? Is my experience not deep enough? That is the main question I am trying to answer in earnest today. thank you for reading to the end. And extra props for taking me seriously. Bless Up

Why you want meet people make friends? What you looking for?

Time is an illusion. Time is obligation, the notion of need, of having to be somewhere, someone, some time, at the expense of something else. Time is the memory of what did definitely happen, the expectation that something more is to come, something that will happen! Time is the clock tick-ticking away, your death rapidly approaching. Time is the antithesis of being true to your absolute nature, that is, by resorting to your clumsy thoughts that tell of something else, a story that is not real and happening about. Time is the consequence of having entered this damned superstition of a world in the first place, this circus of many sorts, a clownshow, to be sure: Stop and look at what is beyond time, and so shall you realize the groundless illusion that is Time, that is your mind doing its imaginary business, its ceaseless projection of self onto other and other onto self, and around in circles if goes: Past, present, and Future!

All that you speak about onmnipresence, "DEEP SLEEP," & the faulty nature of religion is pricklish bullshit that makes me squint & cringe &,.... yes, my finger is now reaching to pick my asshole out of this conundrum, your word salad, this feeble attempt at again grasping the so awfully confused combination of beliefs that you unconsciously spew forth as if you were God. See, the reason why anyone posts anything on this forum is because, even if they write about the dynamics of attention/validation-seeking that are so pertinent to this human condition, is because they are seeking attention and validation, because they are actually unsure of their bullshit, if it really holds muster against the weight of what they know deep inside to be true beyond words; even James123, that fountain, that bafoon of nonsense forever spewing forth: It is the claim of knowing a damn thing about anything or even everything at once that stands as the final barrier between you and You, nothing and God, everything and the Kashmiri-esque suspicion & paranoia that something or someone is pursuing the explication of your vulnerability, the revelation of your clownery, the disgusted look upon one's face when they come to see that no One is looking at them, no one is judging them for the undone or already done foes of yore, those sins of the past, and these unfulfilled Sexual desires which are masqueraded over with yet more God-speak, this rambling that leads nowhere, this prention and posturing and ugly, untrue programming that keeps you stuck in a loop, The One Reading These WORDs.

Do you usually have your mouth closed or slightly open?? You probably have never even bothered to check!! This is a good question as per my judgement, thank you very much. I do plan to post another thread with the same basis inquiring about the particular positionment of your fucking eyeballs, but that will be for another day. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! (p.s., this has to do with spirituality for reasons that only the respondents of this question may intuit or otherwise sense directly with their 3rd eye or some other otherworldly faculty of mind/mouth)

Your first mistake is looking for the truth on an internet forum, bro... c'mon... 2nd, just because the WHOLE DOMAIN (which is a BIG can of fucking worms, I assure you) of social/human interaction & connection MAY NOT provide you with the Greatest Joy that Life Does Have to Offer... Does NOT mean that it is bad or futile or unworthy of your attention; if anything the opposite is the case, that great care and consciousness need be the cornerstones of a healthy relationship to the existence of relationships, and that you cannot escape unless you die. You do drink water and eat food, presumably. So the hubris of your question is comparable to this one: "Why eat food and drink water if it is bound to end in disappointment & anticlimax (which it is)?" BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SURVIVE! NO ONE EVER SAID THAT SURVIVAL IS BAD! It's just that "This Work" (Leo's Body of Work & spirituality/mysticism/"higher-consciousness" in general) is about DISTINGUISHING Survival from what we are now so cleverly referring to as "TRUTH!" AND GOOD DAY TO YOU TOO!

You know what's futile? Lack of clarity. You know what's the real devil of an elephant in the roomless room? That is you, my friend.

This is a great thread with a lot of gold. Bottom line is that your parents owe you nothing. Not food, not water: nothing. Everything that you expect your parents to give you is cultural bias. Free yourself from that and integrate personal responsibility with the responsibility of God and realize that you are the one in charge of everything, and that includes everything, physical, mental, emotional. You feel lucky that they fed you, if anything. And if they didn't feed you, you feel gratitude that they didn't cook you in a microwave as a newborn. And if they did cook you in a microwave as a newborn, and your brain is as a soggy potato of a result, then indeed they are monsters, but still a projection of your mind, and so indifferent to your own monstrosity.

false, bro. Nothing objectively wrong about prostitution. It's just a bad decision from a utilitarian pov imo bc "you don't get anything out if it." That is why I said have a wank instead, which is free, and just as sinful as fucking a prosty w/o the price tag #monism.
