    To say there is no causation is the same as to say there is infinite causation, because zero and infinity are identical.

    This is so ironic that you mention this, because I had a therapist when I was 16 tell me to stop thinking in absolutes. He would draw the number 0 on one side of a paper, and 100 on the other. He explained that progress is more like 1-99.

    I didn’t get on this spiritual path, so to speak, til I was 18. I guess I had a sense all along that there was something greater. Looking at the example my therapist gave me, it’s evident that the mind tries to wrap everything in absolutes if it’s in an unconscious, impure state. It’s unfortunate that conventional therapy only deals with what’s happening in the mind, because that can obviously only go so far. It doesn’t tap into or see the potential for spiritual growth.

    I just finished watching Leo’s “What Is Love?” video. First of all, wow... what an extraordinary episode. I especially liked the part near the end where he demonstrates a fake vs. a real smile. I highly recommend this episode for anyone open to hearing an in-depth explanation of why most of us fail at loving one another (to various degrees of course). I even suggest watching this video with those close to you, in my opinion, like family members (like I did) or an intimate partner because I feel like this episode has great impact when you watch it with them as long as they’re open to it.

    Near the end of the video he gives practical tips on how to practice love in our day-to-day lives. One idea that sprung up after finishing the episode was to create a habit to hug each my immediate family members once a day when we’re all together (i.e. my dad, mom, sister; we do live together). I gave this suggestion to them, and they were very open to it. So we tried it yesterday, and of course I didn’t feel 100% genuine while doing it.

    I honestly never hugged them before, except my dad in a playful manner. I would cuddle him in bed as a kind of joke for some reason; he hated and resisted it lmao. So the only time I hugged them consistently and not in a joking way was when I was a child.. I’m 23 now. There was actually one spontaneous moment a few weeks ago when I experienced a mystical experience that left me in awe. It was so profound, but so clear at the same time, that I was left with unquestionable love for them. There was no story for who they were, and I didn’t feel any separation from them. It was like I was born again, but they were not strangers at all.

    What do you guys think of this habit? Do you personally hug your family members? Do you think this will feel “natural” the more we do this? Like I mentioned with the mystical experience, I didn’t have to practice or plan anything, but since then I have not felt that same love to that degree.

    Enlightenment Will not solve all your problems? 

    What is the root and cause of all your problems? 

    Is it fear? What is fear? 

    I mean that if someone goes into this work and think that “they” will still be the doer and that any problem “they” run into will magically have a logical solution.

    And of course fear is a big one. It’s a fear that “I” will lose control, even though my need for control is what’s creating suffering all along.

    Thanks, really. From heart. No wonder I cry every single day. 

    Why is society setup such that crying (at least in public) is seen as a weakness? Why are we placed into jobs that make us lose our creativity and passion? Does the universe want to experience this for a while until society is ready to wake up? Do I as an individual need to wait for society to wake up before I can fully be comfortable with myself?

    Have you been tripping? 

    I feel like reading this damn post was a trip in and of itself (no pun intended x2)

    In all seriousness, though, name me ONE “spiritual master” who has not had these doubts, fears, tribulations, whatever you want to call them. And those so called “carefree people”  like the ones living it up at the shopping malls and amusement parks, and the ones partying it up in Vegas (I’m looking at you Leo), do you think they don’t have any doubts either?
