That's fucked up analogy to say you will kill Leo and continue his work. ?

I knew you would do that

I read this in class, I laugh out loud, everyone looked at me like a fool. Good thing I Don't care about my self-image anymore

I disagree, I'm still not dead !

You go in Japan and smile a lot in the street, you go straight to detention.

Everything you do by reacting to your emotions (instead of probing why you have this emotion in the first place) Everything you do without a state of peace (without "full" clarity of mind) Everything you do mechanically (without paying full attention) Basically, unless you've done some serious work, you're a robot. 95% of your behavior is predictable.

People that are inconscious can't show compathy because they can't accept and treat themselves with kindness. Most people will be empathetic though, they will just lack tact and says innapropriate things at the wrong time (lack of emotional intelligence), which can look like they aren't on the surface.

Do you guys realize all those articles and debates are just here to distract you ? You do right ?

Meditate more if that's not the case !

You don't need all that. Just focus your attention on what a dream feels like, experientially. If you can do that, you will instantly become ultra conscious and will self inquire naturally. Then you will most likely really doubt about all this being real.

Yes it is way harder. But still, it is still the same principle. I'm not claming I'm awakened, but since a week ago, the simple curiosity of wondering if this life isn't just a dream, like for real (not intellectually) is starting to make it feel like one.

You become lucid in a dream when you stop believing it is real. Just stop believing it is anymore real than a dream. That's all you have to do.

Don't stop to check. If the dream of last night is no more real than this one, then there is no difference on how to become lucid in this one too.

Everyday fortunately/unfortunately ?

Stop fapping ?

Not if you slept enough. The reason I said to do a focused meditation is also there to help about that. Some people may have problem with this for various reasons though. One of them is that they are conditioned to sleep if they are lying on their bed (doing other things than sleeping in your bed can help, like music, reading, watching a movie/documentary).

@Telepresent But, I thought we weren't going anywhere ? ?

Stop that kind of seeking. Just focus on being conscious with no other reason than being conscious. Just appreciate the beauty of life (in every form), especially nature, soak all of it in. Wonder about how could this all be a dream, a projection of your own mind (not your brain), with real wonder, not in a neurotic and mechanical way. Connect more with people, listen more, and pay extra attention to their eyes. Take some psychedelics responsibly (like 5-Meo, ayuhasca or shrooms). I personally don't feel the need or any want to do them for now, so don't ask me how to get them (asking on the forum is prohibited). Basically you want to live life, but more intimately (more consciously), if you do that you will naturally want to inquire (more) in a genuine way.

This past few days, everytime I come home from college or the Library, I Watch a movie to relax. I would prefer to use that time more smartly, so I was wondering if you guys know some very deep documentaries, you know, the ones that goes very in-depth, no sturn left unturned (Nothing censored visually and/or intellectually). I know the Spectrum of subjects is quite large, but I personally Don't have any préférences for now Not related at all, but if someone knows why my computer put random uppercase, that would be nice

You just stop being interested in it. It will just happen if you stop judging yourself.

Because you're full of shit (like everyone else), and don't want to self reflect on how much lies you tell to yourself and everyone else. I'm not making any judgments, I am also full of shit !

I'm not saying the contrary, just giving a way to not procrastinate. Can work with self-inquiry too btw.

If you are an extrovert , I think this is quite a bad idea, it won't be natural and you will feel miserable. Now I'm not sure from reading your post if you literally have no choice of being alone, or if you do it on purpose (because of your second question). You can do it, especially if you're introvert, but even if you are, I would still suggest not too. There is a lot of things to learn from other people. Just an hour ago, someone gave me an idea that I thought wasn't possible for me, that will make my life way easier. This kind of opportunity are rare yes, but they happen. When you start to grasp that other people are your own reflection, you also start to see people as teachers/signs, it is already the case, but maybe it isn't as clear now. This is one big reason, if you cut the socialisation part of your life, you also cut a huge chunk of yourself, you will have therefore less opportunity to reflect on your issues and your desires (even if they don't seem linked to that), let alone opportunities like I already mentioned. So if your problem is that you're not social enough, or you don't know how to make more friends, or something similar, I personnaally don't think going for a solitude trip is a good idea, it will just make things worse than they should be (socializing with the wrong kind of people too though). If you want to do it though, you need a really solid reason, like a fucking good reason, because you will miss on so much. If you meet the right friends, the right kind of girlfriend/boyfriend for you, your capacity to grow will be so much more enhanced (at the condition you are whole and grounded by yourself). They will (indirectly, and sometimes quite directly ) force you to grow with them, after all you are part of a whole, you will be influenced one way or another anyway. The thing is, if you stay all by yourself, you won't have anyone to tell you're bullshitting yourself, and even though forums are nice for that, they don't replace a friend or a bf/gf literally telling you're full of shit when you are. And maybe I'm crazy, but this is the best part of having a friend/intimate relationship for me ?

Thank you, Waiting for more.
