I was hesitant to post this but I completed my masters in engineering with 77.6 percent with my grade in final semester being 9 SGPA out of 10. Thanks.

Thanks.😂 Today I am travelling with my father to another state in my country for the PhD assesment as I have been shortlisted for it.

@Applegarden8 I am putting effort for getting into a PhD program in Molecular Biology.

@Leo Gura Yeah life is filled with horror and extreme suffering. For example like I couldn't sleep at night properly due to the fact that how poorly girls treated me in college , rejected me , abused me , their friends , boyfriends threatened me also those girls bullied me and told me to study instead of dating and they themselves dated immature guys. Even though this suffering is just a tip of the iceberg. Being on antidepressants since this incident first happened to me in highschool to over and over again. Even though the only thing I can do is just reframe those negative situations and take action.

@Leo Gura Have you read the book Xenophon : Conversation of Socrates ? While I was reading this book it was mentioned that Self-discipline was better than Self-Indulgence and Self-discipline makes people happiest. To what extent you agree with this or what your experience tells ?

I was hesitant to post it because my mind was tricking myself by moving the goalpost forward😂. I want to become a Molecular Biologist or a scientist in the field of Biotechnology. By the way it is great to hear that you have huge potential to bounce back. I have upcoming PhD entrance exams. As per reframing failure it is one of the most important tools of personal development applicable in real life even though other tools such as acceptance of suffering , focussing on being mindful etc. are important too. Reframing failure also ties in with the growth mindset where failures are seen as opportunity.

Try to sit with a pen and copy when you are studying the subject that involves more than theory. For theory subjects try to think through what is being written in the subject matter. Also, try to reframe every failure you encounter during your degree. All the best.

I just studied by trying to read each and every slide. Whereas , my friends cheated and have the exams I didn't cheat even in an single exam. Besides studying I was also proactive in answering questions in my classes. The secret to success is to stop looking for a secret and start reframing every failure which I stumbled upon for example every low score which I got in an exam etc.

@LordFall I got a job offer but I turned it down and I have my upcoming PhD entrance exams. @CARDOZZO My research topic was gene cloning of plant virus. Thank you everyone.

I am also not an American. I am Indian. All the best to you too.

@Leo Gura Challenge accepted. How about this one .Since proof is infinitely imaginary God is also infinite imagination. For example when one is arguing with another person and trying to prove something to that person and let's say that no matter how hard they try they cannot prove them which they are trying to , so they are going on and on. With the person trying to prove a certain thing but since two persons live in a different imaginary reality in their head. The person trying to prove something is coming up with sub-proofs to their proof according to their imagination which goes like an infinite loop in their head Thereby, with proof being imaginary one is trying to prove God such as an orthodox religious person trying to prove to an atheist about the existence of God. He can go on and on with the imagination of God implanted in his mind from which he can derive his proofs as opposed to the atheist have different imagination and the atheist arguing from his imaginary world view from which he can anchor his reality based on infinitely imaginary proofs.

Can I try ?

@Leo Gura As per singularity can it be inferred even in non-awakened state that you are already singular as whole as well as even you on the surface appear distinct from the universe you are connected to it on a more fundamental level which takes thinking, intelligence and contemplation to to see ?

@OBEler Yeah there are different versions of Leo. Some versions more good than other , some more direct, some indirect.

Ok then you are doing great.

Absolutely it's mind blowing.

Congratulations! But I was talking about the fact that acceptance of suffering also takes practice .

I hate the forum version of Leo and like the video version of him. His videos have expanded my growth to tremendous hights and they are great. Even the latest one.

Oh really, thanks.

Yeah, it's very difficult and trust me it takes a huge amount of practice.

@Leo Gura 27 minutes passed by watching the video and when I thought about your first proof by pausing the video a little I realised that reality is one as everything which divided is connected to each other. On the surface two things seem divided but there is a deeper connection between the two which is beyond the surface. For example a water bottle kept on one end of the table and a diary kept at diametrically opposite end of the table on the surface they may seem two separate objects but both are connected by the air in between them and every object is connected in the universe to other object even though it might sound imaginary to some but like two cars with a string or the brain activity may seem distinct from the external environment but actually the air connects the brain and the environment deeply. If object X exists then Y exists and both are connected so they are one. If both exist they both have to be connected otherwise either Y would exist or X would exist that would be still one. Am I going right Leo ? Must I keep going on thinking about this ?

Leo more practical self-help stuff to master survival paired with increasing the quality of one's epistemology . Also , as a person who is meditating since, 5 years I find it difficult to meditate consistently daily and the same goes for contemplation . Can you give a feedback ? Even though I have the key to my problems.

@Leo Gura But what about when one is suffering due to some sort of failure. Is it wise to accept suffering? which I recognized in my experience it lessens the power of negative emotions. And also it is distinct from reframing , however reframing is important as it motivates you to act. Which way to go either acceptance of failure or reframing of failure ? Also , are episodes based on shadow work , hope coming in the near future ?

@Sugarcoat You can practice it consistently which will eventually make you feel more better over a long period of time.

@Sugarcoat That is a sign of a symptoms of depression. Basically there are two ways heal it : 1st way is hope or future looking perspective. 2nd way is acceptance of negative emotions when you feel down or disconnected. I hope it helps you.
