The entire world is corrupt including Leo and this forum, big deal. You can still grow in a corrupt structure anyways. There is something positive about the world also. There were positive things in your community as well I'm guessing. That's why you stayed there for as long as you did. No point ruminating on the negative.

Advaita is for noobs of the past. Leave that sinking ship behind. Look up agni yoga instead and the masters thereof. That's the future of spirituality. The tides have shifted, it's time to change your pants.

You can't transcend what you fail to love.

It's much more profound then that. Desire is the kundalini energy that runs the entire existence. First it finds expression in the root Chakra, desire for survival. After that desire evolves into a desire for sexuality, then it evolves into a desire for a healthy asserted sovergn identity. Then it evolves into a desire for communion, unity, love. Then the energy evolves into the desire for self expression. Then it evolves into a desire for knowledge, understanding and insight. And then it evolves into a desire for infinity. The energy of desire (Kundalini) is the will of god itself trying to find it's full potential within you. It's an infinite fuel that makes up every molecule in existence and it has infinite devine intelligence. Desire is everything.

So it boils down to desire yes. And then what causes desire becomes the question.

You could still boil it down to a single answer <interest> And then you can ask, what is causing the interest to arise. <Interest is a form of desire. > Then you can ask, where does all desire come from.

What causes attention to move to a particular place would be a good next question to ask.

@Judy2 https://limewire.com/?referrer=pq7i8xx7p2 I recommend using headphones.

There's a 30min guided meditation from forgiveness, gratitude, hopefulness course that I could send you. If you want.

Guessing again. You're routine could be missing meditation. Sometimes zoning out, plunging into yourself feels really good and refreshing.

I'm guessing a bit here but if the things that you do are in alignment with what you're passionate about, then chores no longer feel stressful but exciting, thrilling and inspirational. There is also a rewarding feeling of fulfillment that comes you know you did something useful today by maintaining your discipline.

This one is one of all time favorite stories ever told. After listening to I was staring at the wall for like half an hour.

Wow, I didn't even make that connection. That's a beautiful insight.

It's inspirational.

I've learnt an interesting thing how forgiveness, gratitude and hopefulness work together like one unit. It works like a vehicle that drives on a highway to God. Forgiveness is foundational to move forward in life, otherwise it keeps us bound to things and it creates like a yo-yo effect. You think you're moving outwards, then stop, spin a a bit, and are drawn back. Gratitude is a tool to become receptive to life's gifts and blessings. It's about affirming and claiming God's grace for yourself. And as you do so, that flow of energy expands and begins to manifest through you in a ever greater manner. Hopefulness is the fuel and the spark that propels you forward. It activates God's creative power within you. It's like a doorway or a portal. A small doorway can only pass small object through it. A medium doorway can pass medium size objects. But a unlimited doorway impedes nothing to pass through it. All of God's creative power can begin to manifest through you. Greater miracles/synchronicities begin to take place. "Where is your creative self? Deep down within, in some reclusive corner of your being? Have you given it gratitude? Have you unfettered it through forgiveness? Have you brought it the fuel of life, the light of spirit in the form of hopefulness? Think about carefully, for your creative self defines who and what you are."

Learning to accept others would result in true self acceptance.

I've been doing recently a similar course that involves cultivating forgiveness, gratitude, hopefulness and truthfulness in a systematic way. Nice to see you changing a tune.

@SOUL 🧠 What does "jumping levels" mean? It refers to a shift in the level of abstraction, perspective, or logical depth in a conversation — often without explicitly acknowledging that shift. Instead of staying with the immediate, practical, or concrete level of discussion, someone jumps to a meta-level — a higher, more abstract reflection about what's underlying the discussion itself. --- 🔄 In context: Original level (Level 1): > “Let’s not confuse classical nonduality (Rupert Spira) with radical nonduality (Jim Newman). They are very different paths.” ⬇️ This is a concrete, specific distinction between two spiritual approaches. Jumped level (Level 2): > “Confusion itself isn’t in the teachings. It’s in how we perceive them. Once you see that, there's no real confusion at all.” ⬆️ Now we’re no longer comparing teachings — we’re talking about the nature of confusion itself, philosophically. --- 📊 Analogy: Changing the dimension of a discussion Imagine someone’s playing a chess game and says: > “You shouldn’t move your queen there, it’s too risky.” And the reply is: > “Chess is just a human invention. None of this is real.” That might be true at a philosophical level, but it’s not useful if the conversation was about actual strategy within the frame of the game. --- 🧘‍♂️ Summary: > “Jumping levels” means switching from talking within a framework to talking about the framework itself — from the content to the context, from distinctions to the mechanics of making distinctions. It can be wise or annoying — depending on timing, clarity, and intention.

I ran through Ai the situation aswell. It's no different than the apple and orange example I gave. Or for example: " let's not confuse modern abstract art with traditional realism — they come from totally different intentions.” Reply: "Confusion only arises because we try to interpret art with fixed concepts. True art is beyond classification." ✅ Thoughtful. ❌ But sidesteps the actual comparison of art styles. Or: Fiction vs. Nonfiction “These are two different genres. Let’s not mix them up — one is imagined, the other is factual.” Reply: “The idea of fiction or truth is itself a mental distinction. Everything is just a story the mind tells.” ✅ Philosophically valid. ❌ But not helpful in sorting a library or understanding the difference.

The final outcome feels really good. So that's a good sign. I feel the light.. Maybe Im addicted to that feeling of light.

Seeing no differences is indeed the purpose of nonduality but the thread is not called "what's the ultimate purpose of nonduality" Your comment is indeed interesting and adds an interesting perspective but it's just odd and out of context imo. Like Sugarcoat sayed people can say valuable things even if its unrelated. Honesty i have no idea how i got here and why im pointing this out.

Your original comment doesn't engage with the threads purpose which was to distinguish classical advaita from radical advaita. It’s like someone says:“ Let’s not confuse apples and oranges, they’re very different kinds of fruit.” And someone replies: “Well, confusion itself arises from how the mind categorizes experience, not from the fruits.” You're technically correct but it's sidestepping the actual purpose of this thread of clarifying the differences between the two things that people are conflating.
