    To counter this lol, Leo has said many times that genetics play a major role in mystical skill. A donkey will never be able to do math as it lacks the capacity to do so. Most people dont have the genetics of Sadghuru and will never reach that level, at least not without exceptional effort.

    I think there are many factors we dont know about.  After all being god is our true nature. 


  2. Dont reduce Conciousness to the  simple paradigm of Spirituality. It is mostly an distraction of the true essence of exsistence and just a more complex form of religion. 

    Secondly dont treat  the universe as the absolute of conciousness. Especially when people say: The universe that... the universe this.....Treating it as the highest measure. You are the universe and much more. Conciousness does not hold any frames. This universe certainly has its right to exsist and is a valubale part of exsistence. But dont isolate it as an absolute and therefore reduce conciousness.

    Another curious phenomenon I have noticed is that I can read and/or inner-speak in anyone's voice. I can do Leo, Donald Trump or even some of my friends from kindergarten. Saying that, I can't reproduce their voices, and my impersonation skills suck.

    Amazing i was able to do the same for a while.

    @LastThursday @Lilia That makes sense guys, actually i just noticed something and was wondering if you guys can do it to.

    If try to read the text on this page in French, all the words automatically translate and become French in my head.

    My inner voice is French but what im seeing and reading is English. This is INSANE, never did this before! 

    If you could tap into the conciousness of humanity you could speak  every language at will. Theoretically. I did it once and said something in mandarin. True storyxD

    You can develop another persona, but your original persona is deeply tied to your memories. For you to kill your original persona you would have to deconstruct your memories and throw them away. Its possible to do this....but do you want too? To effectively do this at the highest efficiency you would also have to cut all contact with anybody from your former life and change your name if you really wanna do this.

    It won't be easy either case ego back lash is persistent as all hell.

     @Razard86 This happended to me and now im stuck in a shlightly altered  identity state yet my observing part remained aware  so i did not drift into  absolute insanity. And it is getting better.  But my memories stayed the same, if you can say that because after a year your memories change up so much it isnt the same memory anymore. So i would say memories are not the driving catalyst here.

    If I act a different sounding voice in my head will I become a different character slowly over time? If i talk to my self like a 5 year old school girl, will I get stuck that way and that will become my default personality? 

    Im questioning how pliable this default personality really is. Im guessing the answer is yes, meta-acting long enough i can become mesmerized and hypnotised into any character just like this character was defaulted to be me, by the facets of life that constructed it. 

    You could create so many thought forms, memories (mind and body), believes, basically everything that shapes your reality ,that you are ultimately shift into that persona psychological but you will still keep your center if you are aware enough. But those are just thoughts and therefore a limitation of conciousness.  You are playing differnet characters every 5 minutes anyway if you are aware enough. xD    So the only thing that makes you less pliable in your neurological self is your awareness, and ultimately conciousness/god. Which is paradoxical very pliable but is not in the quanta (quantum field?) it is manifested in.  

     


  7. I constantly have this believe going, where im constantly at war with an adversary. Either myself or some obstacle, person,...  I think this causes more resistance than being fuel.  Its not about being defenseless or powerless or ignoring forces of nature.  Im aware enough to see when this kind of thinking patterns emerge and can stop myself and not take it to seriously. But i keep slip into this believe pattern, what could be the reason ? I currently have not found the awnser to this question myself. Any ideas?

    @Leo Gura If the person is facing the consequences of his actions, integrating them, makes every mature move in the direction to forgiveness ( eventhough such an action is hardly ever redeemed) and the content he is creating is unbiased, unrelated to the crime and without ill intent i would say yes youtube should allow said person to publish videos. 

    Its a different story if people are still gonna watch  the hypothetical person when the crime is known.  But of course you have to consider the side of the victim or victims . It most certainly would be a psychological burden for the victim and very  hard to deal with as such scars run deep.

    Question: Should YT allow any convicted rapist to publish videos? Is being a rapist enough to get you banned from all social media platforms?

  10. I consider reading The Adolescent from  Fyodor Dostoevsky. I have read a rough plot outline and it has some litte amount of similarity to my current life, which is quiet hilarious. But im really struggeling with a longterm question on what i would miss out when it is absolutely  necessary to dive deep into practical information. But then again i might asked to early, considering the fact i have not outlined my values and highest goal thoroughly enough.

    You can also balance it out, you can read a heavy non fiction book and a fiction book at the same time, you would specify time for the heavy non fiction book, and for the rest of the day you would read the fiction book whenever you feel like it.

    I think this a good idea when both type of books align with your life purpose. But sometimes time comes to short and you feel like focusing on non fiction is a better idea.

    I could also say the opposite: 

    The fact you’re questioning it is enough to suggest it’s important and meaningful to you ;)  

    You are right i like to read more of both genres but i wonder if it is better to take a sacrifce and focus on nonfiction that is aligned with current goals. Thats why im questioning. So its true.

    First figure out what sort of value you want that align with your goals and then look for resources to get it. You're reversing the process.

    Thats what im currently working on. But have you guys found fiction books that have contributed in fullfilling your life purpose, for those who found it and see it as relevant ?

    I don’t like to read fiction because I am a writer and I go into analysis and editor more where I dissect and study the text. It takes away from enjoying the story. However, I do listed to fiction on audiobook and I can really enjoy the story without thinking too much lol! I have to stay away from editor mode most of the time, or I won’t get any writing done! Lol

    I do love fiction with audio. I can create the world in my own imagination and “take a vacation”. Also, I find bookworms and librarians very sexy and I love to get into their minds and pants LOL… wrong section for this.

    If you are a writer, you should be willing and able to learn from other writers and fiction is an indispensable tool to improve your own writing. After all, writing is creating ideas and you have a buffet of ideas to learn from and create ideas of your own to write about. I know Stephen King has mentioned that reading other people’s novels is an important part of his writing process and he reads daily.

    When I am doing serious writing, I will generally listen to a fiction book a week. Actually, from my viewpoint a writer is not actually a writer. But a rewriter. Quality writing comes after many revisions. In the rewriting process, many ideas that I received come to me that add zest to my writing, although my focus is on nonfiction. 

    Actually, I value fiction more than movies. I believe the last movie I saw was back in 2017. However, at the moment, I still listen to a novel at least once a month.

    Other than that, Imagination is a superpower and fiction can help you create new internal words in your own "imagination". So yes, there is great value to novels and I find them immeasurable more enjoyable than other forms of entertainment. 

    The audiobook  part is certainly a good idea if i want to conserve energy and use it to get inspired or gain differnt perspectives, but im already quiet good in those aspect but maybe its good to improve a strenght. For a writer this is a good stragtegy but i have not choosen this as my field. 


  12. What are the pracmatic  reasons for reading a novel? Did some of them had a serious, impact with real life value for you? If yes which one? Especially for inner and outer personal growth. 

    The most obvious reasons would be honing your writing skills and speech

    Is it a waste of time to read such things when you are very creative?  I want to be more practical and dont want to use up time on enjoying stories in this time of my life. Atleast for the next 3 years, because it seems more important to use my time for diffrent things and other forms of information gathering. I have some unread novels on my bookshelf and i consider to give them away or sell them.
