not all women need this stuff to feel content in a relationship with you

incarnated and form are concepts

we get too attached to suffering and we forget this will all end when we die

is it possible to become conscious of God and still be aware of the world´s problems while also doing something about it? like actually doing something to make the lives of people around you better.... that´s the question i´ve been sitting with these days

osho speaks a lot about this, and i´ve been practicing sitting with anger... it´s powerful

We are unique expressions of God

woow, such a cool edit!! @Monster Energy CHEERS @Leo Gura may your life be filled with joy and Consciousness expansion!!!

what if dying feels just like when you wake up from sleep and you forget everything in the dream (despite it feeling very real) and then black screen puff i´m here again but in a different life character..... lately sleeping feels like dying

what is present right now in my experience ? where do thoughts come from? can i observe a thought before it appears? is there a clear boundary between me and experience? describe experience as it appears, without assumptions... ----- attention, memory, perception meditation not for belief, for refining observation thinking - observing ---- what can i actually verify about experience, right now? if i can observe a thought, am i the thought? notice the difference between the thought and the awareness of it ---- thoughts appear on their own you don´t fully control what arises there is a kind of background awareness that notices everything ---- what is aware of this moment right now?

what am I? how would i know? what has been constant since i became aware of me? there was nothing and then i came to be as me what is Truth? what´s the one thing i can´t deny?

been doing this for the past three years and it works perfectly for me... you also have to consider your work schedule and adapt to it

1. Physicalism (consciousness = brain activity) Consciousness is produced by the brain—like a process or output. The brain does something complex enough → consciousness appears 2. Dualism (mind ≠ body) Consciousness is not physical—it’s a different kind of substance. Body = physical Mind = non-physical 3. Idealism (consciousness is fundamental) Consciousness is not produced by the brain The brain exists within consciousness Reality itself is mental or experiential at its base. Solves the “hard problem” by making consciousness primary Aligns with the idea that all experience happens within awareness 4. Panpsychism (consciousness is everywhere) Consciousness exists in all matter, even at basic levels. Not that rocks think—but they may have primitive experience Complex consciousness (like humans) = combinations of simpler forms Avoids the “sudden emergence” problem Takes subjective experience seriously Problem: How do tiny bits of consciousness combine into a unified mind? 5. Epistemology comes back in Here’s where your original question becomes powerful again: We are trying to study consciousness using… consciousness itself. That creates a loop. So epistemology asks: Are we limited by our own perspective? Can we ever observe consciousness objectively? Is subjective experience a valid form of knowledge? 6. The honest conclusion Right now, none of these fully “wins.” Science explains mechanisms well Philosophy explores meaning and limits But the essence of consciousness is still unresolved 7. A thought to sit with No matter which theory is true: 👉 Everything you’ve ever experienced—including this conversation—exists within your consciousness That’s the one thing you can’t step outside of to verify.

5. Putting it all together When you analyze “consciousness” properly: Etymology → “knowing with” (Latin roots) Modern meaning → awareness, experience, subjectivity Epistemology → questions whether and how we can truly understand or verify it This word is a great example of why your approach matters: If you only use etymology, you might say: 👉 “Consciousness just means knowing with” But epistemology pushes you further: 👉 “Is that actually what we experience? How do we know what consciousness really is?”

4. The epistemological challenge of “consciousness” Unlike something concrete (like “tree”), consciousness raises questions like: How do I know I am conscious? Can I prove that other people are conscious? Is consciousness something physical, or something beyond measurement? Philosophers like René Descartes approached this by saying: “I think, therefore I am” — consciousness is the one thing you can’t doubt

3. Epistemological step (how do we know what it really means?) Now we question the knowledge: a) Source reliability Are we getting this from: historical linguistics? (more reliable) or a simplified internet breakdown? (often incomplete) b) Concept vs word problem Here’s the key insight: -The word “consciousness” has an origin - But the experience of consciousness is much harder to define or verify This is where epistemology gets deep.

2. Evolution of meaning This is where people often oversimplify. Even though the roots suggest “knowing with,” modern consciousness is used in several different ways: Basic awareness → being awake vs unconscious Self-awareness → awareness of yourself as a subject Phenomenal experience → what it feels like to experience something So the original root ≠ full modern meaning.

1. Etymology (origin of the word) The word consciousness comes from Latin: con → with, together scire → to know It formed conscientia, meaning: “knowing with” or “shared knowledge” Originally, this had a sense closer to: being aware with yourself or even knowing something together with others (like shared awareness or moral awareness—what later becomes “conscience”) Over time, in English, consciousness evolved to mean: - awareness of your own thoughts, feelings, and existence

Epistemology → how we know things Etymology → where words come from ----- “How do I know this word’s origin is accurate?” ----- What’s the source of this definition? (dictionary, academic source, random site?) Is there consensus or disagreement? Has the meaning changed over time? Am I interpreting it correctly, or oversimplifying? ----- When analyzing a word: Break it down (etymology) Check sources (epistemology) Compare meanings over time Question your assumptions ----- Etymology tells you where a word comes from— Epistemology helps you judge whether your understanding of that origin is actually reliable.

What is the difference between belief and knowledge? Can we truly know anything with certainty? Where does knowledge come from—experience, reason, or both? What makes a belief justified or reliable? ----- Empiricism → knowledge comes from sensory experience (what you see, hear, etc.) Rationalism → knowledge comes from reason and logic Skepticism → questions whether we can truly know anything at all ----- Science asks: What is true about the world? Epistemology asks: How do we know those truths are actually true?

hey @Leo Gura i was reading your blog post on leftism and i´ve noticed you´ve mentioned the leftist as a she/ her... i´m genuinely curious to understand why what am i missing here? lol "That’s the ugly elephant in the room that the leftist can’t stand to see because it would shatter her political paradigm." "She thought society was just about to take a huge leap forward but instead it takes an ugly slide backward."

i love being human who knows.... i might never get the chance to experience Reality as me again so i just want to enjoy it while it lasts it´s crazy and fascinating to think that when this ends i will stop being me

if happiness is dependent on what you want, it´s not happiness it´s control why do you think you´re in control? awareness ≠ control

Since 2020, I´ve started this inner process (through meditation) of becoming aware of thoughts and emotions that arise in the moment. Slowly but surely this practice has changed my life completely for the better, and one thing i´ve noticed since this started: people think it´s normal to be unhappy. no one will question you if you look miserable. it all changes if they see someone who´s genuinely enjoying the moment. it´s weird. and people will literally think you´re crazy for being happy lol anyway, i´ve been reading this book from Osho (Balance between the Body and Mind) which talks a lot about this; my point is: during this i´ve reached a point where I was questioning myself for being happy and content with life... like there was something wrong with being okay with where you´re at... so crazy 🤡🤣 peace and Love, D.

will there be music in the after life? what´s the only thing that truly matters in this life? what is control?
