I know that the ego is not my true nature, but the ego is still part of my nature. This is difficult to understand. Observing my thoughts and not identifying with the ego is one of the best things one can do to create a deeply harmonious and flowing life. However, it is completely wrong to say that the ego does not exist. It does exist, and it must exist. Who experiences the whole? Who experiences the absence of separation? Exactly, you do as the ego.

It’s completely insane that people on this forum don’t understand this; it makes me want to puke.

The ego can never fully disappear, but the sense of it can diminish.

You just did

It’s so funny that Christians and Muslims argue about whose storybook is better, “MY FAIRY TALE IS BETTER. NO, MY FAIRY TALE IS BETTER!!!” I kindly ask you both to go to hell

He changes his views frequently because he genuinely wants a complete explanation. Many scientists are too proud to keep digging deeper, which is why I have very little respect for them. What matters most to me is getting it right, even if Bryan were to change his mind a trillion times. That said, calling him a scientist is probably not accurate. Still, I believe much of modern science has become a kind of clown show, and very few people truly live up to the title.

Bryan is better than many of today’s scientists.

This is so true. Parents can teach you empathy, but that does not even come close to the kind of love and compassion you develop when you have truly suffered inside.

Good reminder.

You have one of the kindest and most humble hearts on this forum. I can’t handle it.

Private does not always have to remain private. Great job, Bryan. I hope that one day he creates an account here on Leo’s forum and eventually becomes a moderator.

He has done a fantastic job discussing this topic. Just because Bryan expresses himself in a way that may seem unusual or strange does not mean that what he is saying is bad. I hope we get to learn more about intimate topics in the future.

I’m not surprised.

Impressive. Those socks deserve their own NBA contract.

@Leo Gura The games never end.

Sometimes it feels like none of the history that schools teach actually happened.

I will always lean more toward freedom than limitation, but of course structure must exist, more accurately, it has to exist. However, it becomes a big problem when structure becomes so restrictive that it suppresses critical thinking or curiosity. I want all people to be able, at some point, to question what they have been taught and not become robots throughout their upbringing. That is completely wrong in my view, but unfortunately, that is how reality looks today.

For me, both scenarios are a form of abuse: one is unconscious when a person chooses to go to church, and the other is conscious when someone forces others to go. Prison can feel like a better path for personal development than church, but that sounds very triggering and wrong. However, I would actually find it interesting to discuss this topic as well, because not many people talk about it.

This is the reality we live in; this is not a conclusion held by a minority of thinkers.

Best comment in this thread so far.

Thanks for the story, it was interesting. Exactly, I said that society needs rules and obedience, but that they should also be questioned. It’s worse if obedience and rules exist and no one is even allowed to think about why things are the way they are. So my view isn’t black and white.

HAHAHA, Maybe. Or maybe my profile just isn’t for amateurs.

It sure does😎

Hahaha, Leo has seen my profile, and he hasn’t given me any warning or asked me to take it down, so I’m keeping it up as long as Leo’s balls are still up. 😂
