@Raze thank you to be clear, I am not interested in argument or debate. Just discussion.

@Raze please tell why Israel is comitting a genocide in Gaza in your own words.

Lalalala thank you sir!

@Carl-Richard thank you for taking the time to clarify i have found that to be damn powerful in my experience But I am still confused if it can be a trap For instance, lets say I find myself in a situation where I feel social anxiety Blood rushing, mind racing, palms sweating So, I employ the notion of "I am projecting the concepts that give rise to my feeling of anxiety onto the situation before me that is by itself benevolent or at least ambiguous." I tell myself that, and as a result, I loosen up a bit. Hojo earlier said "don't project your energy out, instead suck it in." That's another notion I like. Anyways, let's say I employ such a notion by telling it to myself in me head, and it works, at least somewhat, as I loosen up on my anxiety. But then the anxiety reappears. I employ one of my favorite notions again, and again it works, but not as much. Then the anxiety returns again stronger, and when I try to use the notion this time, it barely has an effect. Now I really need to abandon notions anf find a NEW way of resolving matters all together. Eventually the notions lose their potency, so you either have to create new notions, or just say fuck it and finish this post. Lol Thanks CarL-Richard

@Schizophonia lol

@chess_king definitiely not superior, probably just happier, thats the only point I was tryna make rlly not that they are more spiritual, more enlightened, even more free of concepts Just.... happier. I mean, look at their movements. Fluid, free, unencumbered. They do not seem beholden to a program when they speak. That to me is better than God.

@Leo Gura when does it go into effect? Better bomb tje shit out of everyone till the last minute.

@Atb210201 yea, i bought into it when I was 15. I told my Mom too. I said, Mom, they're tryna kill us!!!! Buy more toilet paper!!!!

@Atb210201 think that was a trend that died a few years ago... Isnt that the conspiracy abt pedophile reptiles, pizzagate, fluoride gonna kill you, etc.

Porn is great, and no porn is also great.

I am not saying these dudes are the apex of human development, lol. But do you catch my drift? Eat meat, go sleep

Hajur Mr. Puer, I didn't mean to make philosophical argument abt whether or not these dudes realize the interconnectedness of all things or if they're 3rd eye is open or whatever other crieteria you use to determine enlightenment, spiritual development, goodness, etc. I meant that, when looking at the video, observing how they interact with the foreigner, their facial expressions, demeanor, thought process, mode of expression, etc. Etc. It is clear that they do not hold many beliefs. (Specifically in this case, they seem to be a hunter-gatherer group that is quite pragmatic & just focused on physical survival, that's IT. No rituals, shamans, omens, 3rd moons, 3rd eyes, sacrificing the lamb, cumming of age ceremony, etc.). So, they don't hold many beliefs. You can see when they talk. They are unencumbered by typical human bullshit. This to me is at least ON PAR with enlightenment. I mean, cmon... enlightenment is (from ONE PERPECTIVE, chill out, lol) simply the letting go of all beliefs — that is, living life belief-free, without nonsense/human noise. Looks like they do a pretty good job at that, and they don't even know it... Jus sayin @Puer Aeternus

Are you saying that I should like believe in my top values more and repeat them to myself in me head?? For example, one my top values is BRUTAL HONESTY! Per your suggestion in the post, does it mean I should build a notion to support this? Idk how that works. Doesn't that obstruct the possibility of true, Brutal Honesty? I'd really like you to give some examples here beyond Tate's "depression isn't real." Because I intuit that you are presenting a potentially powerful model that will help my self-development. Just wan a get more clear on application, thanks.

Not going anywhere... Car goes from point A 2 Point B. Right???? "Mom, are we THERE yet??" "No, honey, just 10 more minutes!" Are we getting anywhere? I ask myself this question while sitting on the tarmac at Istanbul Intl. Fkn delays..... And, get ready for takeofff... — engines rumbling.... And, we're airborne!! But where are we going???? The question still is UNFUCKINGANSWERED. Touchdown. We arrive to SFO. NOw I am "home." But I am still at airport termial! "What if this isn't getting anywhere??" There is an answer to that question. The only issue is that it never ends.

a whole new generation of art & artists is coming our way. Thanks to modern resources, we are not doomed to repeat the mistakes of our ancestors. This is the time of blossoming creativity & the Spontaneous Erection of Divine Light

Forget about the concept of spiritual enlightenment & understanding GOD. That's a bunch of bullshit. Eat meat, go to sleep. Simple. In many ways they are even more Simple & pure thank monks. Bevause monks still have to survive. Plus the monks add meditation & mantras & a bunch of other shit. These dudes just stick to survival. Also, if you were enlightened, you wouldn't know it! Case in point!!

This is the same thing when I went to the East & so-called "underdeveloped 3rd world" countries, at least according to SD theory. Average dude seems WAYYYY more conscious than us Westerners. Just more in touch with their bodies. More alive. SImple. It radiates from their eyes & smiles. Talking about South Asia mostly. Enlightenment just means living. Those dudes are LIVING!

@Jannes lmao that is one way to look at it. My thought is that they seem much more conscious than I am and my Western counterparts.

Would listen to this song walking around the poignant and intense streets of Srinagar. Oh, what nostalgia!

This keeps happening, now that I am getting sober I am seeing how much I narrate and rehearse in my mind. I want to impress people, to be heard. It is so important to me. And it's making me mad And yet, when I finally wake up from my self-dialouge (it's like, OHHHH, AHA, I was TOTALLY lost for what might as well have been a whole lifetime of blabbering), I am disgusted with myself. Rather, disgust arises out of nothing... But this is self hating self — not getting anywhere.. Me being disgusted at myself is more of the same story — the story that disgusts me. Holy fuck, I'ma Vomit!

I'm fucking sick of this shit. Always speaking to myself in my head, ARGGHHHJA, it is annoying to say the damn LEAST!!! Fuck, man, I won't shut the FUCK UP! the narration & rehearsals Always role playing in my mind. Asking myself question as if I am someone else. Because everyone wants to hear WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! LISTEN UP FELLAS, BEST WORD IN TOWN FOUND HERE! Fuck, sickening, I tell you. In the shower. Asking my own damn self questions & sometimes even responding OUT LOUD!? AS IF TALKING 2 MYSELF IN ME HEAD WASNT ENOUGH?? I'm sure lots of you people can relate since people do this sort of thing. Because they want to be loved, approved, fondled, etc. But this is str8 fucked, mane. I don't wanna hear my own bullshit anymore. I feel ready to shut the fuck up.

Leo's book is gonna be fucking nuts, only have to wait 20 more years!

@Judy2 hola Judy, I relate to you, I also feel hopeless & helpless. I'm sorry to hear your support group won't help. I don't think anyone will. I think you are dealing with an issue beyond conventional resolution It is time indeed to fully Let Go & Let God!

I understand why you say Leo could be a demon or demon possessed, I really do. And maybe the "Leo" avatar is prone to self-deception & corruption just as much as you are. But let's not kid ourselves about the honesty & integrity of Leo's work. This channel / forum is a gem. And I'm grateful to Leo for giving us a platform to converge, a set of teachings to grow our lives in so many different ways, and playing such a pivotal role in my own development. Sure lots of people can relate. That being said, I hope you find that GRACE, bro. Buena suerte

@Breakingthewall Damn! I totally fell for it man! I was reading 1st paragraph thinking to myself "damn right preach brother." Guess ive been listening too much Ralston lol. Looks like it is possible to brainwash urself with the very best teachings. Just turn em into an ideology and bam, youre fucked Does this make Surrender & Abandonment the Ultimate Path? Or do we truly have Nothing to Hold Onto? What Say Ye?
