@Leo Gura, I don’t pretend to have every detail of a future where machines do almost all paid work, but three plain signals stop me from believing society will stay broken: Cash alone or unemployment doesn’t drag people down. Tests in Stockton (US), rural Kenya, and Finland handed out money with no strings. They found better health, lower stress, and no jump in drug use; Stockton even saw an uptick in full-time work and skills training. Sharing the gains can outlast partisan fights. • Alaska’s oil dividend has mailed every resident a yearly cheque for 40 years, backed by both parties. • Milton Friedman—no progressive hero—once sold a “negative income tax” to trim welfare bloat. Billionaires don’t have to volunteer; a distressed majority can legislate. Maslow’s ladder still applies. Once food and safety are covered, most people aim for community, mastery, and meaning. I can’t yet see our exact post-AGI missions, but I don’t see the ladder breaking. Maybe even “galactic challenges" will give us fresh purpose. Let’s hope. Short-term turmoil? Almost certain. But history shows a rough adjustment → new rules → new balance, not endless collapse. I’m betting we rebuild rather than rot.

@Leo Gura, I honestly don’t follow your conclusion that a super-intelligent AI inevitably leaves humanity purposeless. If people no longer need to work for survival, they could devote themselves to collective self-development and spirituality—sharing insights, exploring consciousness, and building communities around growth. In that scenario, the majority would likely gravitate toward deeper learning and collaboration rather than languishing without purpose. Moreover, sources like Bashar and some other psychics suggest that ETs are scheduled to arrive in 2027 to help us manage these sweeping changes. It seems that all these events around ETs cannot be coincidence, let’s see. If extraterrestrial guidance comes online just as automation reshapes our economy, we might receive new frameworks for planetary resource management and social organization—perhaps something akin to unconditional basic income on a global scale. Yes, such a shift could trigger confusion and even conflict in the short term, but it also opens the door to radically reimagining human potential. Ultimately, I see a path where AI liberates us from mundane tasks and usher in an era of exploration—both inner and outer. In that light, the future looks far more promising than one defined by mass unemployment and existential despair.

Bashar and Leo are the best resources I found. Bashar explains deep enough infinite parallel realities, the one is all and the all is one, and the different archetypes we find in this parallel reality (higher Mind/soul, oversoul and also dimensions/densities).

I think I beat the odds in this case, both of my parents are schizophrenic, so my probability is really high. I was always afraid of drugs. I tried weed once in my life (which duplicated my probabilities 😲). Recently with with 30+ years I tried, very cautiously 4/5/6 grams progressively of magic truffles which is still a very low dose. I think that if I move very slowly, I can integrate some lessons with few risk, but I own that I am dealing with crazy genetics. I have some unusual traits in me, like becoming very energetically absorbed with things, exiting movies feeling like the main character, etc… I think that I could easily fragment, but due to all meditation/theoretical understanding of reality etc… my mind is solid in grounding and become into present, which is crucial. @Rafael Thundercat are you Portuguese??

@Da77en, thank you so much for sharing your detailed insights and practical examples. They resonate deeply with me and clarify how to approach my fears. I love the suggestion of using movies or other stimuli to activate specific fears. I have been doing this more without stopping and have noticed some differences. The problem is that one of my fears was that "Movies can negatively control me, my emotions and my states." I learned to zoom out the movie in intensity, lowering the effect to the minimum. I hope I didn't break this method. I understood the movie's capacity to change you is just a belief. My current fears are more related to animals, but I’m sure I can apply the same process by watching videos that trigger those specific fears. It’s helpful to know that starting small, like watching just 30 seconds of a video to activate the fear and then processing it, can be applied across different types of worries. Lastly, the subreddit recommendations are beneficial! I’ll explore these as a resource for safely exposing myself to various triggers. Thank you again for your wisdom and encouragement. I’m excited to continue experimenting with this approach and see how it transforms my relationship with fear. It would be incredibly helpful if you could guide me a bit in the future, whenever you feel it’s appropriate. I truly appreciate the insights you’ve shared so far.

@Da77en thank you so much for the information and perspective you provided. It really helps me at this moment in my journey. Your insights resonate deeply with my desire to let go of fear and expand consciousness. Your approach has inspired me to explore and implement this in my journey. I’ve noted how to integrate your process and love the idea of using fear as a gateway to understanding. It makes confronting fear actionable, and I’m excited to experiment with it. Could you share a practical example of how you apply this? For instance, do you prioritize your fears upon waking? For example, I have a fear of going crazy; from what I understand, I might watch a movie on madness and ask, “What would I have to believe is true to feel this fear?” Can you share other practical examples of things you do to trigger the fears? I was experiencing your method: Do you recommend doing that with contractions on the body since fear should create them? Thank you again for sharing this wisdom. I’m eager to put it into practice and see how it shapes my journey.

Hi everyone, I’ve been following Leo’s content for over 10 years, and I recently had a self-inquiry experience that shook me to the core. I was deep in conversation with a friend, fully engaged, trying to convince him that he doesn’t really know who he is. After about three hours, something shifted, and things started to feel surreal. Suddenly, my heart began to race, and my awareness changed. I had this strange urge to scratch my eyes, almost like my body was reacting to some internal shift. I felt an intense fear, as if I was fighting to hold on to myself. My friend even said that I was looking a bit insane. He thought I was having a panic attack. What made the situation even more overwhelming is that my wife, who is going through a tough time, was incredibly upset with me for not being there for her. She has never been this upset before, and it felt like my world was collapsing both internally and externally. It all seemed to happen at once. To add a bit of irony to the situation, these symptoms started just as an Uber arrived to pick me and my friend up. As I got into the car, I was trying to hold on to my sanity (looking back, it was such a bizarre moment, almost laughable in its absurdity). Afterward, I had a really sad discussion with my wife, where she expressed her pain, and I felt immense guilt. At the same time, I was terrified to even think about who I am, fearing that I could slip back into those symptoms and lose myself all over again. The fear was overwhelming. I’ve also been contemplating deeper ideas about time. Just yesterday, I watched a beautiful video by Rupert Spira where, for the first time, I truly grasped that time doesn’t exist. It was a profound and liberating realization. Here’s the video if anyone’s interested: Rupert Spira - Time Doesn’t Exist. While the insight was powerful, everything happening in my life made it hard to fully integrate. There’s an extra layer of fear for me, though. Both of my parents are schizophrenic, and I have a deep fear of becoming insane. So now I find myself wondering if I should even continue this self-inquiry process. I know I’m seeking external validation by asking this, but maybe I need to take extra care given my family history. Should I keep going, or are there risks I should be aware of? Any advice, especially from those who have been through similar experiences, would be deeply appreciated. How can I proceed without feeling like I’m losing my mind, or worse, risking the relationships I care about? Thanks for reading. I could really use some guidance here.
