Just give me a bil, I’ll take it. I’ll invest it into meditation centers and pay employees well etc.

Thanks for sharing. I can relate to the points you articulate. Ego indeed is a sneaky mechanism.

I dont get it, And human drivers cant kill you?

I’m more with @integral here. At the very least, he could have sold the empire and do a lot of good with the money. But at the same time, if someone is at heart a writer / artist, and not a businessman / strategist / leader, it might be hard to think and act that way. But who knows, it could have also been just naive selflessness. But I definitely agree that there is a big difference between being handed a billion vs having to build it from scratch doing something unconscious.

This is Pure Monkey Dance

It’s Pure for a reason Don’t corrupt it with validation seeking

Many things I’m looking forward in life. But not this one

Thanks for the challenge / pointer. I’ll contemplate it. Yes, certainly my writing came across more cynical than my situation really is (tried to make it more emotional / artful). Ultimately, I do have a bunch of people around me with whom I have a nice time with. I just have to hold myself back a lot, when it comes to depth of conversation and intellect, and agree to disagree often - which does make me feel alone. The thing that makes this the toughest perhaps is that I’m still pretty young, so my friends are also very young, especially the girls I date. Youngsters are generally more immature than older folks. Have less developed ego etc. And so, I have to often ”fake smile” at their ego excitements / accomplishments / self-deceptions / biases / immaturity / dramas / gossip / shit-talking etc. But maybe this is a practice for me to practice loving everyone where they are at! Tier 2 stuff! And I do do that, don’t get me wrong. But at the same time, I desire and crave deep deep genuine and authentic, honest bonds and intimacy, both emotionally and intellectually! I crave intimate connection with people of highly advanced integrity! Maybe I should try to befriend more older people. Certainly making new friends is not an issue for me. So far, I’ve been separating the two. Emotional bonds from specific people and deep intellectual bonds from other people / sources. Honestly, to shift this into positive, maybe this really is the way to go: ”This is a practice for me to practice loving everyone where they are at!” That way, at least there is harmony and deeper connection on a metaphysical level. Maybe I am just really stuck in cynicism. To challenge you back tho, are you sure you really know how I feel deep down and what I crave / need as an INTP? In your own words: ”I should be in a cave contemplating, not going out to socialize”. I can see myself doing that sporadically here and there but ultimately, our personality types are almost complete opposites. I will contemplate more.

Haha. Welcome to Miguels’ world. I’ve been feeling this way for a longer period already. That’s why you don’t see me much active here anymore. I never truly was but now I’m even less. I’m mostly here just to read the blog, follow Leo’s and couple members’ thoughts. Focusing on your life purpose is key. The truth is, as Leo mentioned in one of his recent blog (paraphasing): if you Truly see what state humanity is in, you will get depressed and hopeless as hell. At the beginning of this work, I was truly excited but now at this level, I dont know anymore. I feel like I was born a 1000 years too early. Imagine if your current version were sent 10 000 years back into the past, how would life & happiness look for you? There is a deep existential anguish in my life. Focusing on life purpose is the only solution to ease the pain. Imagine, as an ENFJ, your number one tensency, desire and need is deep intimate connections with human beings & harmony between them in your environment and yet… it’s completely hopeless. Totally hopeless with my level of understanding. And my own development is so far ahead most people that there ain’t a deep emotional connection happening. Not even with the spiritual bunch. Especially not them. I feel like one of the main reasons I got into this Pure Understanding work was to understand people better so I can create the harmony I desire. But turns out, I completely destroyed that possibility with this work. Now it’s all about settling down, hard. And being happy with bare minimum. Thanks for giving me a chance to open my heart up and being vulnerable for a moment. I’ve been craving that. One of the core traits of ENFJ is being an open book. Open & honesty. Try being that with majority of people when you understand all this work.. Try finding a job to make your living, that even remotely aligns with the level of integrity you have developed from this work.. It truly is a blessing and a curse.

Totally agree. This work cannot be for these more popular medias. The community we have here is extremely niched. And even then, there’s a bunch of people spiritual by-passing. And a bunch of psychologically broken people using this work to escape.

Pure Dancing! So that’s what I’ve been doing for the past two decades. Of course! Beautifully put into words.

Yes, the amount of insulting here was way over the line. Keep it respectful and civil.

Ask yourself: Why shouldnt we aim towards maximizing suffering? Why isn’t being tortured 24/7 a good thing? And then, ask yourself: why should we minimize suffering and aim to reduce it as much as possible?

Leo, Your latest blogpost expressing that somewhere along the lines, your life purpose turned into a guiding lighthouse of truth really hit deep in my heart. Your unshaken commitment to Truth is gracious. I’m deeply grateful. Thank you.

Thank you

Hey @Leo Gura In case you missed this, I’m asking again. Won’t push it anymore if you don’t answer. Much love.

You’ve been in the forum since 2018 and this is where you’re at with understanding Trump? See, you are the perfect example of Leo’s blogpost.

If Hitler became the president of the US in 2024, we would be deeply worried and discussing it this largely as well.

And then ya’ll are worried that I might be idolizing / worshipping Leo, following his teachings blindly.. The truth simply is, that very very very rare few has the degree of purity of mind and holistic and depth of understanding that he has.

Thank you. My own deep contemplations the past years have always led me to this conclusion but I havent been able to fully accept it as I am biased for Owen and you since Owen was the guide when I was a teenager and in my early 20s and you’ve been the one for the past few years. Seeing you give Owen so much props, calling him a genius etc. really made it hard for me to do pure contemplations about Owen, as I am biased for you two. The truth is, he is immature and deeply stuck in orange chasing sex and money. Someone like this cannot be very conscious and mature, and will use spirituality to feed their own selfishness and unconsciousness. If there’s one who should have their karmas burned in these domains, it would be him and yet.. It’s like he hasn’t even started the journey and is as excited as a newbie who just got his first taste of success.

I grow more disappointed by this forum each day as I keep growing in my own understanding and thinking. And with it, the disappointment of humanity grows stronger and stronger. Oh man, sometimes I wish I never ventured this deep into pure understanding and truth-seeking but at the same time, I got so much joy doing it and couldn't help it anyways.

@Keryo Koffa This is what spiritual brainwashing looks like.

I applaud ya'll for still trying to go deep and metaphysical with normies. I've given up long ago. Even on this forum it often gets real bad real fast. Imagine making sense with normies I guess everyone has their own sources of joy.

@Leo Gura Have you discussed about the origins of your tinnitus? Did it come gradually or suddenly? Do you know for certain / have ideas where it came from? What would you say are the biggest precautions to prevent one from developing it to begin with? And thanks for sharing the two tips! 😊
