  1. It's official, if humans were to go extinct, I wouldn't feel bad about it anymore.
  2. Company you're with is very important. If you were in a company of 20monks, you'd be inspired to meditate much more than usual. However, the company you're with need not be physical. You can be in a company of angels who continuesly whisper into your ear: "beloved friend, remember the self and walk with us, dance with us, rejoice with us, play with us". And surely enough you will find yourself doing things you never have imagined doing before as you walk in grace and continues remembrance of God's presence.
  3. Ego is that thing that's resisting all that. It's the attachment to the small illusiory self that's denying you your true self.
  4. Once upon a time, there was a boy who yearned to be super healthy. Eager to transform his life, he read about all the marvelous benefits of superfoods: kale, salmon, nuts, garlic, chocolate, egg, yogurt, green tea, olive oil. In a burst of enthusiasm, he decided to blend them all into one ultimate smoothie. With great anticipation, he took a hearty gulp... and died from diarrhea. Rip.
  5. Out of that list I would take only Curcumin BCM-95 and omega 3. Unless you have a specific condition that you want to target and improve. I don’t know how I arrive at my positions sometimes, lol. It just feels like your stack is random, excessive, unnecessary and not even in synch with each other. I dislike everything about it but I don't have a good explanation why. Your stack reminds me of those people who buy every crystal possible and then try wearing 10malas and 10 rings and 10 bracelets all at once to derive all the cosmic benefits. Like dude. Just one pendant is enough.
  6. This feels more like an obsession. I would limit myself to 2-3 supplements max. The essential ones.
  7. Watched the whole episode yesterday. Really cool. I wouldn't try to fit them in SD tho. In many ways there are many times more spiritual than city people.
  8. Mm.. maybe. Idk, personally I've never bothered telling my family members what I practice. Occasionally when someone inquires about it, then I share a little in proportion to their curiosity.
  9. Best you can do is inspire someone to seek god and then let them be. They will find their way according to their own inclinations. It's not for you to know what's best for them. If they want your guidence or opinion on something, they will let you know.
  10. God is also not human and neither are you. With liberal identity thinking you can get so creative that you put a tree costume and identify as a tree and then demand tree rights for yourself. Ggwp. We need more of that 👍
  11. My response was about the meaning of defensiveness in general. Not about Leo in particular.
  12. Being defensive is not always a sign of ego. Jesus frequently engaged in debates with Pharisees and scribes, countering their criticisms with questions, parables, or direct rebuttals. I mean... You're not a vegetable. You have to respond to life as long as you're alive. And how do you respond to lies? You respond with truth. That's not ego. That's just being a bringer of light. Although defensiveness could also be ego.
  13. Here's an interesting question. Who are more crime oriented, males or females?
  14. There will only be more men in Zen because discipline, austerities, isolation and mental masturbation are all masculine forms of spirituality. Females practice spiritually in a totally different way. Holistic places that incorporate both masculine and feminine such as Isha foundation, Art of living, Osho communities and even vipassana organization (which is a form of zen) have more female participants actually than male.
  15. You can be an expression of Tao or an expression of ego. When you're in Tao, then you're original.
  16. If your actions originate from the origin of life, then you're original.
