Yes, meditation can mean different things. Krishnamurti is also highly critical of meditation according to a method by someone else. Then you become a mindless drone as you say.

I think Leo was posting PBD as an example of someone who can't admit they are wrong.

Meditate, this is an easy one to get over

They irony is that Trump wanted to send Hillary to Jail. Shakespeare couldn't have written this better.

The US isn't perfect but I trust them way more than the Russians or the Chinese.

We need to see the world as one species and one country. While immigrants can temporarily drag down a country (i.e. SD levels). It is more likely that the immigrants will be brought higher on the SD scale. This will in turn bring the whole world up. Remember division causes conflict. Immigration is a step towards unity. (Even if the short term consequences do not benefit you individually).

Trump emboldened the nationalistic racist assholes around the world. This is why Trump is such an existential threat to world stability. Make sure you vote where you can.

Trump is an existential threat to democracy. Make sure you vote and encourage your friends also.

Lol

😂 What about this?

Any time I am not happy with something I could be wrong. Unhappy with my job? I picked the wrong one. Or have the wrong attitude towards it. Unhappy with my partner? I picked the wrong one or interacting with them wrong. Unhappy with my friend situation? I am wrong about my socializing skills.

If by definition God creates the universe, then that means God takes absolute responsibility of everything, including everyone's stupidness, and all the suffering in the world? So is complaining about someone (including a parent or a politician) or about anything that happens a low consciousness and immature thing to do?

Thanks Leo, even a shitty parent then is Genius? So should I complain about the parent or should I accept that the complaining is also God? How should I feel about shitty parent?

Nice Ty, for sure. So the blaming is also God

So only thinking exists? What a mind fuck. So what creates the "physical world" around us? Is that also thought?

Just admit we love our addictions. Before we had that bad habit, we actively sought it out because it brought us joy. Now you want to "go back". But go back to what? There is no going back. You can only go forward to whatever you seek out next.

As Leo says, It's most important to do your own thinking. He literally mentions in the video that expecting spiritual teachers to be 100% right is a trap. If what he says isn't true for you, then it's not true for you.

Oh I see what you mean

Yes important episode to develop consciousness political views. Trump is antithetical to that. Also I have am not arguing against "the other side". Bush vs Gore, Obama vs Romney or McCain were not elections where democracy was at stake by a wannabe dictator. Those elections were choices between two rational and decent people.

Your choices are an isolationist, who reversed abortion laws, suggests injecting bleach, cheats on his wife with porn stars, and encouraged an insurrection. But yes he lowered your taxes. Vs One of the most progressive presidents ever, (student loan forgiveness, marijuana laws, chips and science act, investing in infrastructure, supports unions, healthcare, etc). But yes he's old. If you are worried about Gaza, Trump has suggested being even tougher towards Hamas. Choose wisely.

I'm a progressive and I was sold on it. I'm not trying to convince conservatives I am trying to convince people already on center or left to vote for Biden. Someone like you. The elephant in the room is bleach, pornstars, and insurrection. Not me being divisive. *Trump has an even tougher stance on Hamas

Why are the illegal West Bank settlements overlooked. Isn't that the primary cause of the conflict there?

The presidency isn't a beauty pageant, sure Biden is not my first choice either and he is old, but when democracy is on the line it not worth risking a third party vote. Biden is one of the most progressive presidents in our lifetimes (student loan forgiveness, marijuana laws). He is actually pretty good policy wise if you look it up. Imagine if Jan 6 was done by Biden supporters? Or Biden openly cheated on his wife with multiple porn stars? Or suggested injecting bleach into ourselves? He would have no chance, but Trump has his supporters in a delusional fervor that is not healthy for the world.

He is a threat to democracy. If you don't care for democracy then vote Trump

We will never know the yoga practices, psychedelics, or scientific discoveries of the alien species on other planets.
