Theravada schools often use either concentration meditation or mindfullness meditations (vipassana). As for myself as practitioner of the theravada path and vipassana I can say that this is a good method for seeing that states,feelings,sense objects are constantly changing and there is no inherent controller there. This technique is good to grind down karma although this methode and also path is slower as many other ones but yield more stable gains. My critizism is that it is believed in a material world independent from ones own existence staying there when you're gone and that some of the deconstruction exersizes create a lens of there only being parts and thereby reducing everything to those. Also some people aren't aware that this is a lens and they can't switch to another one easily. They also discount other enlightened people as bot fully enlightened as long they're having sense desire and doing stuff in the world because according to the definition it is all ego and must fall away. -

I haven't read the whole thread but I think the difference between an ordinary person suffering and a person who awakens is that he or she suffers consciously and doesn't act on it and gives up. When I was on a 14 day a 18hours vipassana retreat I suffered for a week enormously and was soo deperate and then letting go happened and there was freedom from myself without really knowing what was missing. Now I know that for a few days the I was missing, then it came back very strong a sabotaged the rest of the retreat. Has anybody already said that? -

That's great to hear my friend. I've read a few other posts from you. How did you get to this realisation? Which kind of meditation did you use or just observation? -

What about the munich security summit where he confronted the west for their (from his pov) dishonedt ways? Maybe both because the summit this year has been over the weekend after his death? @Leo Gura https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Munich_speech_of_Vladimir_Putin -

I don't know were I read that, maybe the washington post,were think the former israeli prime minister ask putin not to kill Zelinsky on which he agreed after a short talk. -
Hehe, I had exacly the same insight after using them for almost a year twice a month. I realized that I still suffer and had to work on myself. Then the real deal began. Later psychedelics a few times a year were really helpful for healing and afterwards the integration was important.

You can get stronger truffles and more. There are 22g truffles packages which will likely do the trick for you. The first few times took 22g to get a break through but nowadays sometimes only 1g shrooms to get "there". For me it was also helpful to watch some alan watts playlists where I could realizes what he was talking about. I hope that helped ;-)

I ask myself if this date of his death has a geopolitical meaning behind. Maybe it's the munich security conference... but it's just speculations -

I think they are getting better and better and they've got quite sophisticated compared to 10 years ago. There have been break throughs in developement of humanoid hands and feet and that's a huge step ahead. However I agree that they still aren't as good as they pretend them to be. To make a better assessment they should release date how often the egg move had to be repeated until the shot was fine and how often it could repeat the tasks without error. I also see high enery costs as problem. Although they are still clumsy it is good progress and it's still great and in maybe 20 years they might actually work in production plants. However I think they won't look completely like humans like depicted in deus ex machina this century, so sry, no leo robot with ai philosophising for us. -

I'm not against nuclear power plants and see them as necessary intermediate solution but as mentioned before they are a huge investment and extremely expensive to dismantle and we in europe have no place to bury the waste savely for hundredthousands of years. That's why finding a viable solution for the storage is in all the european countries put far off into the future and that will problably cost too much if taken into account. There is a very good video about renewables from reallifelore on youtube.
