Musk is a technocrat. I dont want a technocratic dictatorship with cameras tracking my eyes, GPSing all my moves, habits,... I dont want the transhumanism and become half a huaman/robot. The price is always freedom for the sense of "safety".

You are right that being nice leads to a mediocre life. But what our body and mind cares the most is survavility and well being. And the nice strategy saves us from posible conflict against others. Imagine somebody who grew without father, or being bullied at scholl, or other traumatic past. The being nice has been the survival trick that worked really well for him. And that becomes part of the personality in adult life. Then when you have live 40 years being the nice guy you become identified with it, and trying to change it becomes stepping out the comfort zone.

I use blue light blocking glasses after dinner. So I use screens until I get sleepy... and I fall asleep like a baby.

Due to climate change, there's some desertification, and soon some areas will be uninhabitable I'm living in Spain because my wife is from the south and has a house where we live in. I've been in Dubai and I cant handle this kind of heat, and probably Spain will be as hot as Dubai in the future. I'm beginning to worry about my health, the summer heatwaves are stronger every year, and I'm beginning to think about moving to a cooler country like Norway, Sweden, Canada. The issue here is most countries residency permission have strict conditions like being a retired, being a rentist with high income, or having a business or job in the country.

I wanted to watch a movie to disconnect from work, just to find out that every movie is about duality, conflict, competitivity, comparison... the eternal keys to suffering. All mainstream culture seems created to increase the dual gap, to reinforce individiality over collective. Have you seen the typical talent shows? you worth it and the other dont... one wins and the other loses and is sad, its a damn competition of the ego, so sick. Do you know movies that avoid the dual ego perspective? I think in music it will be easier, but in movies or novels?

The reincarnation cycle, samsara, is a prison and is not a limited place.

One thing is tricking the body to need less oxigen and slow the heart rate for a while. Another complete thing is live forever without breathing, drinking and eating. Thats all newage bullsht.

I spend this summer vacations with my sister family. Her husband more focused on his job all day watching the smartphone and is an absent father towards the children. The 4yo kid always want to be with me because his father dont give him attention. I play with him, we have fun, tell, jokes, sing songs, and make excursions. He's had a really good time this vacations, and I went back to my childhood playing with him. Now the vacations are over I miss the kid so much because we developed a close relationship. I'm kinda depressed, and feel a knot in my throat. I don't know how to overcome this.

To feel love we need serotonin, oxytocin and other hormones that are created basically from fat. Stop saying to people to eat veggies and fasting.

God is trapped in the reincarnation cycle and his memory gets wiped again and again... doesnt it look like a satanic matrix?

Honestly Brian looks like vegan vampire, he doesnt look healthy at all.

For the majority of people with a functional immune system, it's better to deal with covid than have an ictus and end in a wheelchair or even dead. It's sad that healty young people died from the vaccine and would have passed covid without problems.

I watched Leo's LP course back in 2016 , found my vision and started saving most of my earnings. Basically my purpose was to buy land and create a self-sustainable farm to quit the matrix, grow food for me, family, friends, and make workshops to teach others to cultivate organic food without pesticides... The thing is I've been saving the 65% of what I earn, and due taxes, inflation, price of food... I still dont have the money needed for my project. I dont contemplate loans and debts. It feels like I'll have to wait 7 or 10 years more to have the money. But I live a cognitive dissonance working on a job I hate to earn money to quit but that day never comes. I'm super unhappy with my life because it feels like my effort has no outcome.

I made the mistake to go full deep in spirituality before having all my economy adressed, I mean generating passive income. I was in an advanced state, meditated all day and disatached to the ego acting like pure consciusness, life was happy, but then run out of money and have to come back to the matrix to work in a shitty job. When you reached some spiritual level, going to the mud acting as an ego in society it feels like a kick in the balls. You are forced to have an ego to navigate in society as an individual.

The more exercise the more muscular damage. Every time a muscle cell tears it has to multiply so the more times a cell multiplies more DNA (telomere) damage.

I'm naturally intro, and yesterday I went to a friends birthday with 9 other people. Usually I like to be alone and only speak the necessary, so I'm not accostumed to so much social contact. I stayed there for 3 hours, listening and trying to conversate with others but my brain got everwhelmed by so much stimulation, content and stories. When I arrived home my mind was stunned and energetically drained like if I had been hiking a mountain all day. Do you know how to prevent that? Or it is natural for introverts to be drained and recharge batteries in solitude?

The OP used death in a way that created lot of misunderstanding. Of course death do not exist, let's call it transcend. But yeah, I fully agree that all the conclusions taken in psychedellics, altered consciousness states, Near death experiences, and awakenings/enlightenments should never be taken seriously because the experience is contaminated by our brain and senses. We will never understand the "not being" until our physical body dies.

You need to investigate deeper about why some people have more dopanime levels naturally ando others struggle. Probably it goes on a similar way than serotonin. Everything affects it, maybe you have a mutation or failure in the gene that regulates dopamine, maybe a gut microbiome imbalance, maybe your diet... Also high levels of dopamine can make you obsessive. Its a personal path to understand your own body and brain and fix it with diet and supplements. Also the GABA/glutamate balance in the brain is very important.

Who are you to decide that your mission is done? maybe staying here on eartth more years to allow others taking care of you and loving you when you are old is also your mision, and if you decide to quit you're deniying the oportonity to others to love.

Oh, the leo from the beginning just looks like a lovely soul that genuinely wants to help you, like an angel. I dont know what kind of events happened to him to become the bitter sour guy that actually is. Maybe devoured by a spiritual ego.

I'm a perfectionist and the part that makes me suffer the most is being angry whith others. It makes me furious observing that i give my 100% to do everything the best I can and others dont even care, they settle for the bare minimum and mediocrity. Also lack of respects, when neighbours are rude and noisy, when people dont respect when you are talking and dont wait you to finish... Definitely OCD and perfectionism and overthinking goes in the same pack, obsessive people tend to overthink and try to be perfect with everything under control.

Same thing happened to me years ago. Went full enlightenment mode, weakened the ego before having all my shit together. When I run out of money I was forced to come back to the evil socio-economic matrix, and was forced to interact as an ego from duality again (work, relationships, business) and it felt like a kick in the balls. So the lesson here is always work for economic independence first.

I've seen Sadghuru with the devils of the World Economic forum multiple times, those who create fake chrisis and famines so the rich can be richer and the poor poorer, I wouldnt expect something good.

This mental gymnastics is a trick, and may work. But if you have correct serotonin levels it's very hard to have negative thoughts in first place. You'll be happy no matter what. First adress why this person is not producing serotonin in adequate amounts.

Because our personality, beliefs, and rank of important things in life evolve and change so much. At some point of personal develompent and maturity the vision that you decided to be your LP will seem even dumb. I've to admit years ago decide that my LP would be buying land near nature and have a self-sustainable farm to sell healthy product to people, and be so self-sufficient to quit the system and the 9-5 stressful life. Well, due a health problems I've had recently with my gut, I've been very sick. Everything I ate hurted me and had a big amount of problems, gut parasites, disbiosis. Fortunately I found a specialist smart enough to treat my problem. And a very eye opening conversation with him is that we need to go back to natural rythms, dont eat when we dont got sunlight, dont eat so much times, dont eat things, but real foods that our ancestries ate, no bullshit bread, pasta... I've suffered headaches, inflammation, brain fog, depression, skin issues, anxiety.... and now that my gut is healed my life has changed. No negative thoughts, no depression, I got a new dimension in awareness, concentration, memory, stillness. So I'm so thankful to this discipline and this guy that I want to study to help other people to solve their problems related to gut. With this bigger purpose... compared to helping a human being to heal, cultivating bio vegetables seems dumb, you see?
