Seriously sit with it, it's a powerful pointer. I'm having some serious anxiety right now The world is inside the mind The mind is inside the world Infinite strange loop

It's about you, not them. Everything in your life is about you, not anyone else. The only reason you do anything is to feel good, it's the only thing you care about if you're honest. Sharing, caring, compassion, love, goodwill, intimacy, appreciation, devotion, all of that feels good for the sake of feeling good. That's it, that's the only reason, and it doesn't feel like a reason, because it's a feeling you have, of union with everything else. Of course a lot of people only read about it and obey implicit social laws about it (or scriptures), but it's one thing to think about it and apply it because you feel you have to, and it's another to do it because you genuinely feel it and want to expand on it. So read some books about that, and apply it in your life (I don't know which, I hope some people here can link some ). You're gonna feel very vulnerable and fearful at first, but it's worth it

By the way, even if we had a proof: "A belief is a fantasy that we believe without question" A fact is a fantasy with an elaborate story that we believe without question - Baby Yoda"

It's even harder not to smile when a person ask "Why do you smile ?". "I need a reason ? "

Lise is only unfair until the moment you realize everything that goes "wrong" is an opportunity to increase your consciousness. Like Elham said, it's about seeing challenges rather than shit hitting the fan, and those challenges are there because life is all about evolving and discovering new things. When you refuse to see life as an evolutionary process, everything that is out of your comfort zone is seen as a threat, as something that must be eliminated or confined. But if you sit silently for a hour and ask "what is this pain is trying to tell me", you'd understand that you have to change something fundamental about your life. You just don't do that because it feels very uncomfortable and painful, which is very instinctive and natural. But you know, you don't treat a wound by feeling good, there is gonna be blood and pain first. Now you could just ignore the wound and put a bandage on it to cover it up. Except if you do that, then you'll be infected, and your body is gonna get more and more vulnerable and weak. The same goes for your mind, the wound is the psychological judgment about whatever you feel injustice about, the bandage is the justification and blaming you think about certain people or events (or you), and the infection is more and more difficulty to enjoy life, to be at peace and happy. Listen to the Wisdom of the deceased Master Yogi Bob Ross:

Radar ? PSEUDO-SCIENCE !!!!!!!!!! (1:35:08) Can't stop laughing

Sit with that

What's a "lemon" (Leo video about the Myth of Science) Can't find the term on urban dictionary nor on google. Is just a person who's gullible ?

If you already have an answer, why do you ask a question ? ?

Move to stage yellow ?

The proof is that whatever you do in life you always feel dissatisfied in the end. And you still intuitively seek for something more.

Just one smile has an infinite chain of positive reaction. ?

Life is gonna become very interesting when all the black mirror episodes will be a reality ?

We already have internet to not having to go out to have friend, now we will be able to have a computer friend, no need for people anymore ???

Dude, stop the spam

Concentration meditation is still very helpful to still the mind. You can be very conscious, but still with a very messy mind, which can be translated by not being able to do one activity at a time without distracting yourself by something else. For example I had a period not so long ago where I had to check the forum or something else every 5 minutes, while still being conscious. Too much activities that release easy and fast dopamine will modify the brain to be scattered like that, it's different than being unconscious.

Yes Don't get hung up on the terminology, there is as many definitions as people, and most of them don't use the exact definition as it is written on wikipedia or other influential dictionary. It's actually one of the main issue in psychology, cause there is so many different meaning for so many terms, because there is so many different sub categories of psychology. And that's just psychology, I'm not even talking about other discipline lol

That's the technique as it is defined. But the result of using the technique is that you will naturally be conscious outside of the meditation. Some people call that also meditation, because in the end, when you sit and just be, it's not different than just being when you walk or talk to someone.

The power of dogma is strong in Buddhism The irony

I would ask her if she is me, how is her experience felt, if I'm dreaming, what God is. I would ask too many question tbh I tried to will the dream the way I want them to be, but usually what happens is that as soon as I do that, I stop dreaming or I stop being lucid in them. The only times I could create literally whatever I want in my dream and be lucid at the same time, is when I stopped trying to get something specific out of it, and just let lose and create whatever comes to mind without any willpower imposed on it. So it feels like having free will without having free will, which I can't put into words

If only they knew ? So much potential wasted in billions of tissues everyday ??

It requires more masculinity to accept this feeling of feminity than to just get «rough».

Imagine If Leo was 95% of the time answering in an obvious loving way. 75% of the forum would take exemple on him. Imagine how the forum would look like. ?
