Death is not guarantee of something better. It could be worse. Or the reincarnation cycle could just continue, so staying the same. So really think deeply about it. You could start with what feels most accessible to change. Something like your mindset if that feels doable, how you think about external circumstances. If you’re in physical pain it’s a trickier thing.

I think it’s based on how you feel. If you feel energetically stable throughout the day without excessive caffeine or if you’re in mania or something then it shows you’ve gotten enough sleep. It’s hard to lie to yourself, when you feel tired you’re most likely gonna feel it. And it’s the first sign of sleep deprivation, other less obvious health effects come later so tiredness is the easiest predictor I have recently changed into going to bed exactly 8 hours before waking. So I’m getting a bit less than 8 hours of sleep because it takes a little time to fall asleep. I’m gonna try and see how I feel. I think you could just experiment with it, if you wanna save time it’s good idea, then if you feel good you know it’s enough One tip tho is to reduce stress level as much as possible because the more peaceful you are the more restoration your body gets throughout the day and you’ll need a bit less sleep

Yes I think it’s good idea I find one challenge with socializing tho is that if you’re not naturally very social (gain a lot of dopamine from social interactions in general) then you’re gonna be quite selective about which people you click with, you’re only gonna gain significant satisfaction and feel flow when you click with someone So when you meet people you’ll gonna go through a lot of convos that you feel aren’t flowing so good and you don’t click with them. And at times it can feel discouraging. But you gotta keep going because eventually you’ll find that person you click with well

Some people say, and I have thought along these lines, how it all kinda boils down to the brain, its chemistry etc then secondarily the body (for psychological health). Even someone like sadghuru sometimes can say something like how you are like a chemical soup. But then don’t make the mistake of limiting this chemistry to the physical. You could say the mind/psyche/personality is manifestation of this. But also it goes the opposite way, so the mind etc affects the inner chemistry. So a bad mind means some kind of bad chemistry, but it doesn’t mean to fix the bad chemistry you should fix the physical (like your hormones or get a medication or something). It could mean what you actually need to do is fix your mind. And in turn that will balance the chemistry. So when people exclude physical health and just speak of the mind, they might not agree but the mind plays into health, so it’s actually linked and they’re speaking of health too It’s just a matter from which side you attack it. By changing your mindset, challenging your fears, meeting and talking to people, meditating etc, all those things change the mind and it will in turn change your chemistry . So don’t be fooled by thinking you have to deal with the chemistry exclusively via the chemistry itself…

It seems in order to have an experience, there has to be a sense of self who’s having the experience (for example the experience of a really long time). I’ve thought similarly to Leo myself, how something that isn’t absolutely true (the self) cannot survive indefinitely. It’s like the “false” self is a certain structure that has to be maintained, it’s an activity that has to constantly cover the truth, meanwhile the nature of reality is structureless so it’s just “there” indefinitely. Without the self, reality is nothing in a way. So maybe it’s more relevant to ask, can the self stay forever. Because it’s the self that makes distinctions between things and experiences reality as real. It doesn’t make sense to me that some aspect of reality would dream a self forever, so it being one single conscious being that is conscious forever and forever has an experience. Because reality isn’t limited so why would it limit some part of itself to one particular form forever, instead of changing. Also you could say, if the self isn’t real, then that gives it even more instability because it’s not an actual manifestation of reality that takes place…. Just some thoughts. But to be more specific, you asked if it could feel like you’re dreaming forever. I don’t think it’s possible because I don’t think it’s possible to experience eternity if it’s not actual eternity if that makes sense.

A spontaneous thought would be that reality doesn’t follow laws and logic so anything could happen ..(I think) But on the other hand it seems anything that manifests (anything that isn’t nothing basically) has a certain “logic” or “way of being/working”, it’s like it has to have that in order to exist . So maybe everything has some kind of logic to it, it’s possible to explain, but the logic can be very twisted and not fit into the conventional science. But for now I don’t know that particular explanation. Maybe something about how time doesn’t work like we think

When you’re trying to sleep but you think about the possibility of being tortured for eternity…

Eheheh 🤓🤣

Typical woman, has nothing to contribute to just sits there looks cute and laughs when the men say funny things …

Evolution

Hate when it happens..

Yea and the person won’t even notice they’re doing it…

You mean like confirmation bias? Yea 🫨🫨

I think it’s fine to categorize yourself and people according to models as long as you don’t lock yourself into that particular paradigm and remain open minded and combine your assessments with your intuition and not only your logical brain 🙂‍↔️

I was going through a hard time during that period, so I believe it was some kind of entity that visited me, perhaps a “spirit guide” that some claim everyone has. Sometimes during sleep paralysis hallucinations can arise, but for me they’ve always been very random so I can tell it’s a hallucination But this particular instance, it was so specific, and relevant what she said, that I’m sure it was not a hallucination . Also she said something that is said within non duality, how “reality is love”. It makes me feel that non duality is true It’s like how some people can meet entities during astral projection. It seems these kind of states can gain us access to another “realm” of reality where we can gain contact with non human intelligent entities It’s very cool! My tip is to remain calm during sleep paralysis, because if you’re scared you’re more likely to have scary hallucinations, but if you’re calm I think it opens possibilities for more positive experiences

One time during sleep paralysis I felt this female presence and she told me, that suffering is “love”

He means they only want enlightenment ofc 🤓

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I was gonna write something like that😭 He’s as much coral as the oceans today after all climate destruction 😂😂

If you are with a person but you still view them through a generalized lense, consisting of ideas you have about the opposite sex and it has built some resentment in you then yes for sure it can have negative affect. Also if you have some idea about aspects of femininity being regressive then it might affect how you feel you should be, so you can risk diminishing that feminine/masculine polarity that can contribute to attraction and loose some touch with your authentic self… But in general I still think feminism is good when it teaches girls self respect and puts pressure on society to create more equality…

I relate it’s like you have to do so much to not look mega chopped. I was just at mini trip with my family and I swear I look so puffy after overeating twice at breakfast buffet. Like two days of eating extra makes such difference. And also skipping skincare routine once makes my skin look duller and more red. Then something simple as sleeping weird so my hair looks weird in the morning. Like damn it’s like you’re standing on a thin line between looking okay and looking mega chopped 😅😅😅😅 It motivates me to stick to my diet, then my face looks leaner, less bloated, to stick to my skincare, haircare, brow plucking etc. Damn. Hope I’m the only one who notices difference tho because I swear sometimes I be suprised someone likes me🫨

Actualized rizzzz

Hehehe

It’s not survival need but a psychological need. Can be seen as a physical need too, need for the physical pleasure (like how someone needs dopamine to feel good). But it’s not a need for survival

🤣🤣…

Sex is like several things at once. The man and woman enhances each others egos, the man makes the woman feel more like a woman and vice versa. She feels desired and sexy, he feels masculine (just example). So it’s physical. Then we have the physical pleasure. Then we have the emotional connection , the fulfillment of feeling love and feeling loved by someone. It’s complete and whole (when done right with the right person and inner state). It’s holistic pleasure. Virgin talk 😂😂😂
