How to be wise

How much health do you need to sit in front of a camera and make videos? I think if you played less video games and read more books, you can get your old productivity back.

She’s now a moderator in Nahm’s forum.

@Carl-Richard It’s difficult because his videos always have some profound wisdom in it, however, there is also some Hindu bs mixed in as well.

If you scan his YouTube videos, you’ll see them.

@Loveeee Virtually all of the spiritual books in Leo’s booklist are a mind-based approach.

Having read Neale Donald Walsch’s trilogy, I have spotted several things that God asserts that I have investigated, and found to be factually false. I will mention one example here. There’s a story that God tells about how the devil was invented. The summary is that women were in charge in prehistoric times, then men invented the concept of the devil and used it to overthrow the women and to put themselves in charge. At first I was fascinated by this fact. That women were in charge of society in the ancient past, but were overthrown by the disaffected males was very intriguing. I decided to look it up. This is what I found: “A belief that women's rule preceded men's rule was, according to Haviland, "held by many nineteenth-century intellectuals". The hypothesis survived into the 20th century and was notably advanced in the context of feminism and especially second-wave feminism, but the hypothesis is mostly discredited today, most experts saying that it was never true.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matriarchy It was extremely disappointing. When you take into account that the book was written in the 90s, it’s pretty clear what happened: God just regurgitated what people believed at that time. Although the book is still incredibly useful, I would caution believing all of the technical information. I have found several other assertions of God to be false.

He regurgitates Hindu beliefs and makes us think that he discovered them independently. He’s obviously not very critical of Hinduism. No doubt there is a lot of wisdom in it, but like every religion, it has a truck load of myths. He actually takes those myths as reality and prescribes people to act on them.

@Gabith His teachings are very similar to Eckhart Tolle’s. I think if you resonate with Leo’s more mind-based approach to spirituality, then you probably won’t resonate with Kahn’s heart-based approach. They’re very different.

@Andrey I wouldn’t believe everything Sadhguru says. I’ve already confirmed that many of his claims are false. Just because he’s enlightened doesn’t mean he’s truthful.

@Leo Gura What do you think will happen going forward?

Yeah it’s difficult...

Although these women are the most extreme you will find, if you compare them to the average male maga republicans, they are saints. Kari lake was an Obama supporter.

@Leo Gura If you’re actively seeking minority votes, that by itself is proof that you are not a white supremacist. Can you imagine Hitler asking Jews to vote for him? Unthinkable. I also think that the increase in female Republican politicians has had a positive effect on the GOP, since they are much less likely to fall into right wing extremism than the male politicians are.

@Leo Gura The Republican Party has been trying to get minority votes a lot more lately. Trump even mentioned minorities in his recent speech, something only Democrats would do pre-2016.

From my perspective there is no God. It’s just another concept.

I’m in the middle of it, the part where Maharaji tells him to go back to the West. I must say he’s much more of a risk taker than I expected. Flying a plane while high on drugs, and driving across Afghanistan with Jihadis, sure does take balls.

@Leo Gura I’m speaking relatively not absolutely. In the absolute realm, there would be no discussion.

Truth, consciousness, bliss. Sat chit ananda.

@Majed03 You can’t determine spiral level from just one paragraph. You have to look at the person as a whole. If they have completely accepted and included Green, that would make them Yellow, since Orange by definition is pre-Green.

No. The only reason why Trump lost re-election was because of Covid. No president could’ve been re-elected in 2020 with the wrecked economy and social unrest. Covid doomed Trump.

Russia, obviously. No, it’s between Poland and Russia to sort out. The polish deaths were collateral deaths from Russia’s war. Russia started the war, and the war was what caused those Polish farmers to die, hence this is 100% Russia’s fault.

It wasn’t intentional. The Ukrainian missiles were trying to strike down the Russian ones, but it missed and hit Poland. Totally understandable. It was bound to happen at some point. @Danioover9000 You're Russian aren’t you. Nobody else would blame Ukraine for this.

That’s correct. It’s interesting to see the difference between Green and Yellow in politics. They are both ‘progressive’, but Green hates conservatives while Yellow understands them. You don’t have to hate someone to disagree with them. Green believes conservatives are evil, while Yellow sees them as humans at a lower level of social development.

Trump now isn’t the same as in 2015. He’s much older now, and with less vitality. DeSantis could probably shout over him in the primary debate. I think DeSantis will run.

Of course Afghanistan didn’t help Biden, but he can still beat Trump. DeSantis would be trickier though.
