Dont throw the baby out with the bath water. Im sure some of his wisdom is super valuable. It just shows how wise Leo was to have an online forum instead of some big group thing out there in the world.

This last video - some of the children in the Osho ashram, each had sex with up to a 150 adults before they turned 16. And the children were used for child labour. Beginning to think all those allegations against Nithyananda might be true also.

Why did you stop ?

Exactly.

What does that mean in basic English ?

When you truly know, and it really is a deep knowing, that ur meant to be with someone in this life, you wont do this to them. As a man, you will do everything in ur power to let go of the attachment to shape and form, and to truly be whole within urself. Because thats all this variety thing is really, just more and more shapes, blah blah blah. And the more conscious you become with the person right in front of you, the more you see Everything in her anyway.

Aubrey is also a Trump fan, right ?

So you saying other people's pov is just as real as yours ? This solipsism thing sure is tricky.

This is old news, he said a couple of months ago he was only going to stay on till end of May.

@Yeah Yeah "Still broke. Still a virgin in my late 20s. Still getting up at 3:30 a.m. to clean toilets. Still driving a shitbox car that could die any week. Still dealing with cravings, pain, loneliness, depression, and rage. Still “being called Isaac” by the world. Still “having to survive.” Lets be honest, clearly what you mentioned above is a big motivation for wanting to wake up. And that's fine, by all means go for the breakthrough. Just realize that a lot of suffering can already be removed by doing effective self therapy. With the emphasis on effective. I would highly recommend that while going for the spiritual breakthrough, you simultaneously take in most of the videos on Jordan Thornton's youtube channel. He's one of those academic guys who took the time to read basically all the books on this topic. In each video you will get unique nuanced insights and practical exercises from the best books on Jungian psychology, healing money blocks, masculinity, sexuality, etc etc. Trust me, if you engage with this channel, it will 10x your self healing process. And life will already become more pleasant. His channel is truly a gem, enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/@jordanthornton

Have you tried LSD or DMT or Ayawaska, ie something stronger than weed ?

@Salvijus I agree, the one dreamer thing dont make sense to me, but somehow everytime i play with the idea in my meditations, i do experience some kind of energetic upgrade, so i feel it's still worth exploring.

I heard James Swartz mention the 'one Jeeva' bit. Not sure if that means he is into proper solipsism tho.

I am conscious, you dont need to pretend. But it's interesting, in Vedanta they also say there is actually only one Jeeva here.

But now ur saying that someone else's POV is not imaginary ?

But is the universe not held within Consciousness ? And Consciousness can't die. Is the universe not eternal and infinite ?

@Leo Gura @Harikrishnan Thank you Leo, I am going to do that toilet exercise. Just one last question: how come I seem to be communicating here with two different people who have both had a solipsistic awakening ?

By "only your POV" do you mean some ultimate Oneness state ? Which means another character in the dream can also awaken to that POV ? Not sure how else to understand it.

Yes, but it's possible for two different imaginary characters, to both awaken to this highest state in there own unique way. Which means they will have different yet still infinite pov on reality.

@Leo Gura, lets say there is another person who also had solipsistic awakening like you, who's pov is the valid one then ?

So from your pov the other imaginary characters dont have a mind of their own. And your telling me that from my pov the other imaginary characters dont have their own minds. Which imaginary character doesn't have its own mind, me or you ?

Reality is just my point of view, from my point of view. But isn't that true for you also ?
