But God is infinite! God is null! Infinity is null! I think we’re just playing with words 😁

@Hojo you still don’t understand Love 🥲 Love with a capital L, Infinite Love, God’s Love. The only way is to have a direct experience. Haven’t you ever done psychedelics or mdma?

Have you ever noticed how love is a feeling that is not really located/confined in a specific time and space? It “transcends” it in a certain sense. And I hope you agree that the biggest obstacle to love is selfishness - the ego. When you die, you lose all your senses that connect you to this material universe, so from you “ego perspective” you imagine that there will be a big, empty void. But what if there is actually something beyond the senses, and beyond the null that the ego imagines? Yes, that’s Infinity!

How are you saying “it’s null” different? Isn’t that also just a belief? How can you be so sure? I recommend you work really hard to get an actual experience of Love. Maybe do some more meditation, volunteering, helping the poor, etc. One day your heart might just break wide open, and with the feeling of Infinite Love that you’ll feel, you will know that it’s the most real thing there is, even more real than “death”

You forgot an important detail. That “eternal void of nothing” is made of pure Love. And it’s conscious and infinitely intelligent. And it’s you and it’s always been you - you just forgot, you got caught up in the illusion. The moment you die, you wake up to all this, to Infinity.

There is also the concept of Self-Love, where Self is the whole universe, including infinity, and including your limited human form. From this perspective, what you mean by “loving unconditionally” is actually too little love for your limited human form, and too much love for the forms outside it. The key in life is to find the proper balance. God loves everything equally.

If any of you are vegan/vegetarian (or have tried it in the past), did you notice any impact on your spiritual work? On one hand, I understand the idea that we should aim to reduce the suffering of all beings (including animals). But I’m also dealing with some health issues, and I have found I feel my best when I eat some (quality and organic) red meat - probably thanks to the bioavailable iron and various vitamins. Is this a selfish thing that is hindering my spiritual work?

@Ramasta9 very interesting, thanks for sharing! Only doubt though, for example I live in Germany and right now it’s peak winter. There is no chance that any fruit would grow here naturally, even the farmers markets only have fake/GMO fruit imported from who knows where. In such a scenario, wouldn’t it make more sense to focus on a diet based on quality meat and fish and fermented vegetables? Then switch to fruit during summer?

According to Leo and many spiritual teachers, you can either identify as your ego (this physical body) or as Absolute Infinity / God. However, some other spiritual teachers also talk about bodies in between. Is there some truth to this? Has anyone on this forum experienced accessing these bodies?

It could be that all the steps for a cure are already inputted in the training data of an LLM, it just needs enough compute power to make the necessary connections.

Third places are social environments outside of home (first place) and work (second place) where people gather informally for community, connection, and companionship. Some examples can be jiu-jitsu, bouldering, sauna, or even going to drink a beer to the pub. Do you have a third place? What do you think could be some third places that are aligned with self-actualization and spirituality?

If you’re quitting weed, I strongly suggest you try these supplements: - NAC (with some glycine powder) - agmatine sulfate They are a miracle for turning off the addiction in your brain. You can search reddit to see how many people had success with them. Let me know if you need any guidance on how to take those supplements!

One of Leo’s best videos imo. Every time I watch it I get something new out of it.

All enlightened spiritual teachers, including Leo, have realized solipsism. Problem is, most people following them have a huge ego and are lacking love so they will interpret solipsism through their ego and of course it is terrifying/a mindfuck. But when you fully awaken to Love, as very few people do, solipsism is the most beautiful thing there could be. To see it you just have to fully surrender your ego

I wish Mostly with the help of some “chemicals” or more rarely in deep states of meditation.

I think what you mean here is a state of deep peace and loving awareness. Yes, an observer remains, but it is melted into pure Love; the observer *becomes* the literal fabric of existence, which is pure, infinte Love. And in this state, the “observer” is totally different than what you think could “remain”.

Nah, people like this still haven’t fully understood Love. It’s usually the rational and scientific “intellectuals” that end up like this, unable to form social connections. It’s really bad and the whole “social matrix” thing is just a huge self deception to avoid Love (this is what the devil does ) Happy New Year btw!

I work for a state-owned financial institution in the EU and the conditions are pretty good: 30 days of paid leave, paid health insurance, great salary (for being entry level), flexible working time (I’m only expected to be available from 10:00 to 16:00, the rest of the 8 hours I can work whenever I want), job feels exciting and meaningful (cybersecurity). However, I’m still not so sure how to feel about the fact that I’m in the end a slave to my boss (she is an amazing and compassionate person btw) and don’t have full freedom. Also I have to interact with some colleagues I don’t really like, but nothing too bad or abusive. Would it be really bad to compromise on this for all the above? Spirituality is one of my top values and I don’t feel it clashes with my job, as I can do spiritual work on the weekends and holidays (which I have a lot).

Also our world is full of toxins and pollution, and the probability of a child being born with some kind of illness (mental or physical) are pretty high. 1 in 31 children born today are autistic.

I guess it’s about caffeine and nicotine increasing alertness/consciousness, but aren’t there better ways to achieve this?

Is it good/healthy? How do you feel it relates to spirituality and consciousness work? I tend to feel pretty horny at periods and it seems to affect my ability to concentrate/meditate. I tried all that “channeling the energy” up or something but didn’t quite work and overall it sounds like some new age spiritual bs haha. Is the best thing to just wank it out?

Quantum computers will be key. There’s a lot of quantum mechanics stuff going on in our brains which we still don’t understand (although there are some interesting theories like microtubules). Nevertheless, I think LLMs still have a lot of potential with scaling. They might not become conscious entities, but they will probably be able to do most of the currently repetitive/analytical work that doesn’t require too much intelligence (like accounting, programming, etc.) and it will have a huge impact on the economy

Do you guys have any quality materials/videos on astrology?

Lol true
