If you haven't seen this already, this is quite a wholesome little vid.

You already have some good momentum here by being aware of thought, as a doing on it own. So that's great. Thinking about not thinking is where this meta hiccup really becommes a merry-go-round as you already noticed. Here is what you can try and do. Instead of thinking about not to think once you catch yourself thinking. Try to confirm the thinking an meet up with it as if you want to get the point of the compulsive thoughts, as you would while listening to a child. If the child say, "Oh look there is a squirrel in that tree. You can confirm with, "yes, I see". This allow you to create a gap between what is seen, and what comment may arise as respond to seeing. Another thought might be self blaming thoughts like. "I'm such an idiot". Notice the thought and confirm it with something like. "Ok, I'm listening". This approach invites the arising of the compulsive thoughts to play themselves out as you follow along in a present state of awarness of them. The smal comments you initially do, is to invite the thoughts that arises to make their point as if they have a point. When you listen into theses compulsive thoughts, you don't try to ignore or confronting them by doing so. An continuous inner dialog, can only be maintained aslong as it is a dialog. By listening in and confirming a thought as if you been waiting for a point to be made, you might start to notice that the thoughts intensity and rapidness start to go down.

This is a nice little snippet of buddhism, thank you for that. And here goes the t-shirt version from what I just learned. "Don't be a "Sukha" Remember the "Dukkha"!

"What is the ego?" What is what? Who is asking, what is? What is who? Who is what? Who says ego is something? Is something ego? Ego is what now? The ego? Is ego? ego? is? ? !

It depends on what you want to master. Certain mastery would be impossible without one.

Good!

"What cannot be experienced" is a abstract way of saying nothing. Apparent limitations as in, what seems to be there regardles of my understanding. Limitations is what appears to be when the mind is in denial. Have you ever experienced or come to know something "unknowable" in your life? Do you see the problem with a certain word in there?

You say anything with words to imply impossible things. And what cannot be be experienced is of no concern. Since you can only ask questions from a place of experience. In this case, thoughts about abstractions. Limitations doesn't exist as an independent thing. It is a recognition or acknowledgement of an apparent boundery, that applies to something. An added thought if you will.

Your riddle is full of odd assumptions that makes no sense. So no wonder that you are getting confused here. There is not A thing that is preventing you from seeing the back of your head. It's just not possible. And the "limitation of seeing" is a complete contradiction in and of itself. You suggesting here that seeing should be other than what it is. You see? Limitations is a suggestive word for you to come to acknowledge and acceptance something at some level. Inorder to be able to take a stepp back and gain clarity.

I was thinking the same thing as I was typing it out. But from a higher perspective they unfortunately do have such right. But it comes with a individual and collective cost. Ingorance is of it's own right it seems. I also came to be reminded of the common sense I was refering to. It's common, but are not to be taken for granted that everyones mind operate from it. That is why it's merely common, but not granted.

I don't have a solid argument against anti vaxer, as they are the embodiment of doubt in common sense when mostly needed. Nothing can be said to disprove them, so they can't be proved right nor wrong. My petty attempt of ridiculing is exactly that ,petty. Used as a last attempt to see if there is any recognition left in them to see the parallell of their absurdity of never ending doubtfulness. After all, I must indeed not only looking like a fool, but be a fool to believe that by any attempt of speaking to them will dissolve or make it clear to them, of their pridful ignorance and futile doubt. Anti vaxers sure have their right to remain ignorant, so who am I to question their lack of arguments and reasoning. Thing are better left unsaid in their presence as their stoic belief in ignorance leaves them untouched of true communication anyway.

Taking on the anti-vax position, is like taking on doubts in traffic rules. And I imagine that kind of thinking could go something like this. "If love is all there is, then why should I restrict myself to some traffic rules that doesn't honour myself as a free expressing and loving being? Why not fully express my own personal style and love for speed on the highway to work for the love and fun of it all. And people love watching racing on the telly any way, so why don't what we all in the name of love, start to having a bit fun while going somewhere. And just let go of all these surpressing and boring traffic rules?" "Love knows no bounderys, so why not scrap all these surpressive traffic rules so everyone can express love this way. The ultimate love is the expression of freedom, where the fitest on the highway will survive." "No government should tell me how to drive. So in the name of love, what's the worst that could happen if I choose it myself how to drive ..right?" "There we have it, the highway to love and expression of freedom. Why taking traffic rules for granted when you can put an equal amount of doubt in them? No one likes to sit in a traffic jam after all, so why don't we all let people drive as they feel like? Everyone who are in a hurry should feel free to pass by the traffic jam in their own creative ways." Doesn't this sound lovely? Why should people who buy a car for their hard earned money, be restricted by not be allowed of driving it on the public roads without a drivers license? I bet that all those who doesn't have a drivers license, or have lost their drivers license stil would like to be able to use the roads freely as everyboy else. But it looks like they are being surpressed by the government for not be able to do so. Now what do we think about that? I guess I have to put this as a disclaimer, so that anyone who are at risk of creating their own doubt in traffic rules can be assured that this text is only meant to be of ironic purpose. I repeat, this text is Irony. This to me seems to be the only way to communicate with anti-vaxers unfortunatelly. Since their love for doubt in common sense, seems even greater than love itself.

Oh no apologies needed at all. I'm greatful for the oppertunity you present here:-)

I think the root problem is, that ego is not.

10 minutes is way way waaay to long. Awakening happens in a instance. And even that may be to long. By the way, I like your sense of humor @Tharen

Fair enough. The majority then.

Imagine the car industriy for a moment. Back in the 50's there was no seatbelt or airbags installed in the cars. But there was also alot less traffic or fast cars back then as well. And now, there is no question asked if airbags and seatbelts should or shouldn't be installed. There is probably more revenue in sales from safty stuff alone in the car industry per year, than that of the selling of the covid vaccine. So should anyone start question the legitimacy of the car industry because of the selling of safty precautions that has been forced on the consumer? I think not. With that in mind, would you even want to buy a car for a bit cheaper if there was no airbags or seatbelts installed? Would a slightly reduced price be of higher value than that of your or maybe even your kids life if an accident where to happen? The same questions applies to the vaccine. It's a precaution to what otherwise would have a much higher potential price collectively without having a vaccine. You don't actively have to fear the virus or the vaccine. So why not just take the vaccine if there is nothing to fear? You get your two shots and be done with it. If you want greater controll in your life, then skipping the vaccine is not exactly a strong spot to hold on to and begin with. You can make alot of more impactful changes in your day to day living. But if all the worlds doctor and scientist advice you to taking a vaccine that is needed in a fullblown pandemic, chances are that they know a thing or two after all. You will be playing dice either way, if you completely ignore a virus that are spreading like wild fire. So a vaccine may not be such a bad idea, despite your own lack of expertice about it. Some food for thought.

Unlike the majority of the music I tend to listen to, this one feel like a inner journey in and of itself. A potential tripp even for the sober mind.

Hey Vido! Could you ask him if he feel a sense of inner ongoing deepening of any sort? And if so. Could you follow up with. What it may be in his experience, that bring forth that sense of deepening? Thank you!

One word is all it takes. The rest is history:-P

A knife can cut into anything but itself. So no matter how sharp your ego mind is in cutting through thoughts. It can't in the very same process piece togheter something it keeps cutting itself into. Just take a look at the word itself, Enlightenment. There is a lightness implied in there. If alot of force had to applied into enlightenment, we might as well call it Enforcement instead. :-)

Alright, fair enough. But if you go direct from belief into 5-MeO-DMT. You may not necessarily go into contemplation from having such a experience. Nothing may be there to be said about the tripp itself, but something could always be believed about the happening of the tripp as a experience. The easy way is the hard way. Beacause it's so easy.. :-p Consciousness is indeed not a language. Language is a hair splitting tool, of duality.

Agreed. Also, I like your style of teaching, you do your best to break down concepts that comes with it's common or usual excessive bagage. I agree that it's a fool's errand if one try to prove infinity, because it obviously can't be done. My main point to apply logic to infinity. Is rather to give a glimpse to the undeniable absurdity of language itself, speaking of infinity. Since most people derive meaning out of words rather than the infinite perspective that influence language. While I do agree that infinity is everything. It also can become apparent for some that infinity is something too hopeless to contemplate. Based on the simple statement that it is everything and complete already. I think for people who hear that infinity is everything, can develop a strong attachment to the saying itself, rather than feeling the need to contemplate what it means, or how deep the statement goes. Since they now can go and throw around their newfound truth as a belief, in which it is at that point. A strengthen belief.

Since his whole theory evolves around the confirmation of the existance of God, that would indeed imply that his work and thinking are logic conclutions based in oneness. I can confirm that, for myself now as I just did. But what I did right now, also explained his theory as holding a potential deeper value, based on my own thought out conclution just as you might have done Leo. I only take issue with his theory based on how much of the burden of confirmation he leave for his viewer or followers to confirm for him. Instead of breaking down his own points to simplify when needed and asked for. He rather dubble down with the complexity of language, when he are being asked a question about any detail in his theory. Speaking of infinity then. My contemplation of infinity, is that Infinity knows no boundary essentially. And because infinity knows no boundary, it knows every boundary that could ever be. And as there is no boundary to inifinty, it's just that which makes it possible for boundarys to be. Despite infinity being just that, infinite. Another thought about infinity. It's stilness in movement. In all possible directions, without a particular direction as it covers any possible direction. It there by trancends direction, without negating direction for it is also part of infinity as well. And most important of all, infinity can't be contained in language alone.
