I'm not, in Canada we have more gun control but there are more and more shootings each year, from illegal gun possession,, Of course there has to be regulations and control, too many crazies out there and more arising each year, but in the end the determining factor like over 70% of it is mental health problems which are on the rise, this is due to many factors, mainly we have a fucked up society and media and influences, as well as an economic system that is enslaving ppl, forcing desperation and more crazy,,, This shit is happening daily and more often now... https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/30/2-men-arrested-following-daytime-shooting-in-brampton-neighbourhood-last-month/

This has more to do with Survival Instinct.. Since most are Unconscious, leaders as well, if a capability arises they will use it, and if one country has it the others will get it, its Moloch's, where one stupid act leads to another and another...

I'm not against rules and laws, of course we need them because of all the crazy that is out there, not because of the access to the tool... just saying its more about the crazy than the tool...

No, the access to the tool has a smaller role than who is using the tool... Everyday I drive within the city, everyday within 5 min of starting my drive I see infractions upon infractions, from small ones to bigger ones, and everyday ppl are dying or suffering due to all of these infractions taking place, if no one was driving there would be no infractions, so its the driver that is the main force behind accidents, not the vehicle, the vehicle/gun has no will of its own, the driver/shooter does... We only have so many law, so many more laws being created because of the more crazy that is going on. Religion is cheap and free psychiatry, ppl believe in moral codes or commandments, it keeps them in place via guilt, or at least it did in days gone by, not as much these days, today ppl feel like what happened to others won't happen to them, but it does on a daily basis...All do to Unconsciousness of what Is, that is the main problem, and high level of Consciousness is only available to Humans! https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/08/30/1-man-dead-3-injured-in-alleged-street-racing-crash-on-hwy-401/

He's partially correct, by the Way Robert was Spiritually gifted from what I know it came to him naturally, but even he sought out Sages and Masters! For the ungifted they need to do something, the doing is about getting rid of the shit that is preventing them from the natural experience ppl like Robert had, its really a UnDoing but if its not a natural experience for someone then they need to do something (Sadhana) to make it natural!!

Yes at the least ppl are aware of the concept of Enlightenment, and it resonates with them, but trying to find it here or anywhere on the internet is basically a losing battle, its not found there, its found within You as a certain Potential, all One needs is a method to allow that Potential to rise up and become Experiential, but ppl are too intellectually identified, everything is mind, thoughts, concepts, theories and over and over again.. Sadhguru says never make Spirituality a study, don't study it, if You do then what is happening here on this forum daily is the result, repeating threads, repeated replies, ppl with thousands of post/replies and it means nothing a day or two afterwards, all it can do is inspire in a small way until one realizes its up to themselves within themselves to find the Answers, certainly not here!

Because the topic of Solipsism is Spiritual Drama or Entertainment for most around here, it makes their heart beat which makes them feel alive.. it draws the most attention for mostly that reason, hence why I started a thread about why no one here is really Enlightened or knows anything about Enlightenment, if they did, not much drama would be happening here as it is now daily!

I agree with that, but in the end its ppl shooting ppl, so its not about the tool, if they didn't have access to a gun they would run ppl over with a car or use another tool.. Of course ease of access to the tool, like a gun, has a role but ultimately its the crazy ppl that are doing this, imo there is more and more of them at various levels of crazy, the way things are set up today more crazy will be the result of it for sure...

The solution is Raising of Human Consciousness, the root problem today is Low Consciousness for the majority of ppl alive today. What this means is simple, People need to realize what it means to be Human, that we can live beyond the Survival Instinct or Egoic nature in simple terms. We have Free Will, we can choose how to be within ourselves, its within our Potential! What we have now with tech is that our Survival is more guaranteed than ever before, we have more systems set up for food and shelter provisions that ever before for most ppl today, the ones that don't have today this is due to again low consciousness, there's more profit to keep them poor than to provide them with housing and basics! I don't think we are going to make it though, the conditioning machine that is ruling our societies has too much momentum, plus there are other things happening that are just out of our control, I would be surprised if Humanity is still around in 100-200 yrs from now, either we self annihilate ourselves or nature does it for Us!

This place is a little crazy, round and round we go, but no one is going anywhere.. The point of the thread is calm/peacefulness when sitting on benches around trees lol... I agree for once with PurpleTree!!

Yes agreed. I look at many things in society and the world, guys like this and others, mostly my own observations of what is around Me daily, it doesn't look good imo!

This guy is interesting, a different sort of Geo Political outlook than lets say Peter Zeihan, its interesting to listen too, with some Spiritual insights brought into it, which Zeihan doesn't do at all...

Yes, but guns don't shoot ppl, ppl shoot ppl, the problem is too many crazy ppl, too much crazy period in every aspect of Human life, we're doomed i think...

@Princess Arabia You keeping on saying "Me" but in the next post You'll say Nothing is Happening and there is No One here, so what is it?? This is the contradictions in your posts, just pointing it out too You, Your obviously heavily invested in it, so here it is. This is not about Me or Emotion, this is a a place of sharing and learning, ppl can share what they want but have to be ready to be called out on it if it is basically nonsensical in some ways, so one cannot say nothing is happening, no one is here, then get upset as You have above using words like Me, Myself and such... Torture is one of the most Personal things that can happen, as is Loving Someone, both are the same but opposite when it comes to Life Enhancement and Empowerment, its obvious...

Ok, he states in the vid that its just a theory of why things are the way they are, and that it may not be true, this is what Humans do, try to come up with explanations as to why things are! He seems a bit more humble than Ziehan, with a different angle, but of course we have to do our own research, with stuff like this we may never know the truth absolutely, but for me he seems to be on track with how I understand things, that elites control the world, not governments and the power is held by the few and they don't want to give it up no matter what the cost of who suffers for it...

@Princess Arabia Remember Your words if it is ever happening to You, hopefully it never does.. This is the problem with the Absolutist such as Yourself, everything is impersonal because nothing exists, until it happens to You then everything is personal.. This is no good on the spiritual or non dual or path you describe as then the person which does exist doesn't deal with where they are right now, Blissful on the beach or being Tortured as in the end everything is Personal, hence why You will reply!

Well maybe in the end game it all ends up being about Surrendering, but if one cannot do it now within this moment, they need a HOW, How do I surrender in this moment if it is not naturally happening.. The How becomes more important than the Why or end game which it seems You mostly focus on, End Game results, which comes from Goal orientation rather than Process orientation.. If it came naturally for everyone we would be in this situation we are in in the world, nor would we be on this forum imo...

No, first God is just a representation of Potential, Beauty/Love/Kindness is one sort of Potential and is Life Empowering, Ugliness/Hate/Cruelty is another and it Disempowers Life, as a Human, You can choose how to be, where Your Life Experience sits, in Beauty/Love/Kindness or Ugliness/Hate/Cruelty, this is all based on how Aware/Conscious You are, Low Conscious Ppl (which is the majority in the world today) live via the Ugly/Hate/Cruelty route to various degrees, only a few are high level Awareness and truly Love Life and everything in it which empower Life to happen more that way...

Yes I agree.. One problem I see arising though is that the ppl coming here from different cultures and such, they want to bring what they had back home (which didn't work out well hence why they moved to Canada) and make here like there, ppl still live the same culture and traditions to a tee like back home here in the Canadian culture, that happens allot.. In my home town, which is not Toronto, but a smaller city north west of here, there were allot of Italians, Finnish, Polish and such, they all had their individual halls, festivals and such. My family is not from any of these cultures, but we integrated and hung around them lots, enjoyed their foods and music too, it was fun, but we had our own thing too, I didn't find my personal family too involved with our own heritage cultures (German, Swedish), we just lived our lives, made money, had family get togethers, went out met other ppl from other places and such, we weren't stuck on our cultural heritage like I see many ppl here are from India, or other places, since Toronto is said to be the most multi cultural city in the world. I see many of them stay in their own circles and maintain how they would live here like they would back home, for me this is a No No, yes remember it, celebrate it sometimes, but don't live it strictly here, Canada, like the US, is supposed to be a dynamic Culture, creating new ways to live and Be.. I believe a One World Government would be best as well, but the Ppl of the world are too Ego identified, to low level on the Awareness scale, wars happen because of this fundamental problem, if that was solved, the World would be way more united and one world government would work, with a Resource Based Economy in place, rather that what we have today which keeps the Elites in power, getting more power, and the rest of Us working as slaves and losing power and personal control of our lives!

I'm not so familiar with Indian Politics and what is going on with Pakistan and such, just sayin... For sure there is tons of ppl there, largest population in the world now, I think with our present day economic systems in place, the poor will get poorer, and the power players/elite will try their best to maintain their power base, this is what is happening everywhere not just in India, but I do believe if we really released the tech we have access too (free energy for one), and the elites lost their power, things there could greatly improve for the masses but that would take some time, Its not a perfect system, they may be just doing what they have to do to maintain some sort of Peace or calmness within the society, from what I know of India its like an organized chaos there, whereas in the West it is just chaos, no organization at all, so India is a old, wise society overall, Yoga or Spirituality is built into their culture, ppl are doing things Spiritual that they don't realize is Spiritual, but the Western ways (anti Spiritual) have been taking over the culture over the years, ppl like Sadhguru are trying to stop this for his own country and the rest of the world... India's relationship with Canada, my home country are not so good right now, that is mostly due to Canada not doing anything about Indian Separatist living here and promoting separation from India and them being labelled as Terrorist, if You come to Toronto or anywhere nowadays in Canada there are many Indian immigrants, great ppl, friendly but overwhelming the society for sure, I don't know if this a good thing or not!

We (Humans) invented these things out of Un Awareness that we are God/Absolute. We have Free Will if we are Conscious that we are God/Absolute. Would One rape, torture, have slaves if they know they are God? I don't think so.. So its a matter of Awareness, not of God inventing things, Absolute/God is just a Potential/Possibility making machine, we are the tool by which the Potential is being expressed, and we have choice as to how it is being expressed, dependent on how Conscious/Aware one Is!

Surrender is one way, there are many other ways, for some Surrender is more natural, for other it is not, that is why we have a many methods, many Gurus, many ways to do things...which is why if Your Awareness of these things is low a Guru/Mentor is needed, and for most in this world today their Awareness is super Low. Things like Devotion and Surrender don't work well, the ppl just can't do it, for a very tiny few it does, but all of Us can work on it and make it part of the whole, like Bruce Lee said with his Jeet Kune Do philosophy, "Use what Works for You, Reject what is Useless for You..", since each of Us had different Karmic Makeups, we need guidance!

I use gummies on the weekends to relax, it makes time slow down and a certain sort of disassociation happens, I become lazy, hungry and more focused lol. My research into it tells me the Psychedelics have their time and place in usage, if You rely on them totally for Spiritual Awakening it probably won't work, Leo may be the exception but he has also done lots of Sadhana too to supplement it.. I for sure agree, that one should do the Sadhana first, get to a point of Awareness that already brings about a natural sort of Peace and Knowing, if Your stuck there then maybe use psychedelics to give You a peek over the fence, which basically inspires You in your Sadhana practices, but don't rely on them totally, it will more than likely lead You astray... In the end for real Transformation to happen, You have to make it happen naturally meaning without the use of drugs or anything external other than Spiritual Practices.. Find a Guru or Mentor and practice that works for You, stick with it, know Your intentions and goals then let it work its magic!

I use it for Entertainment and to trigger my Ego so I'm more Aware of it!
