@Athemnajar work with your body as well. emotions get stuck across the body and you certainly need some relaxation and body awareness practices. i can almost guarantee that you won't feel better just working inside your head and taking drugs. c'mon, it's been 4 years. try something different.

@sidaz10 i think there is something fundamentally wrong with your diet. i'm no professional, though. go to a doctor.

duality is supposed to be fully embraced with responsibility. life can't get any juicier than that. beneath duality there's nothingness (infinite potential) and duality is the result of pure magic. the fact that the universe can experience a human being, say "i", write poetry and appreciate music is just a infinitesimal display of the supreme power of existence. fight no i find what i points to for i is yet another finger

started meditating quit porn & masturbation ditched controlling mentality quit alcohol & junk food embraced emotional pain for healing purposes

ah, i see. but the sad part is that those people are usually truly smart and aware of circular logic, which makes them even more frustrated with their process of thinking... (i'm talking about my past experience with philosophy )

@Shin i'm talking about what i see, dude. i see no circular logic there. i used to be a philosopher myself. i don't know what you're doing.

this is true in so many levels... i personally know a lot of people (mostly guys for some reason) that are adept at western philosophy and are still unable to make any noticeable progress in their lives. it becomes a complete waste of mental energy and, for some reason, they become addicted to mental masturbation! contemplation and mental masturbation are the same things for them. i remember this guy in particular who was addicted to kant and his "meditation" book, which was a complete waste of time. just another game for the mind. those guys are usually pessimistic, neurotic, unfriendly and nihilistic. the mind can be a real vampire and waste vital energy.

@Paul92 fight no i find what i points to for i is yet another finger

@sk1n1m1n afaik, fibromylagia is closely related to emotional issues. do you have any severe trauma? anything related to your childhood, relationships, parents etc?

example: start a blog and teach what you have to learn. teaching is the best way to organize mental content.

@LoveandPurpose build something with the knowledge you'll need. create a real need for your learning process.

because you enjoy. there is no other reason. enjoy your life and that's all you need to do. everything else is nonsense. leo does what he does because he enjoys it in the long run.

@Paul92 what do you enjoy doing? do you have a plan to survive after your parents die?

@Paul92 i REALLY think you're trying to bypass some fundamental problems. like, can you go out and have a simple conversation with a girl? how is your relationship with your parents? are they divorced? does their relationship hurt you? don't overlook basic emotional problems. deal with them first. ground yourself. you can't go anywhere if you're just drifting around.

you're being dogmatic and that's why you're stuck. forget about what leo says and do your own investigation. as an analogy, it's like trying to solve complex ordinary differential systems without knowing how to solve simple deterministic linear systems. kill your buddhas. be your own authority. learn how to solve linear systems first.

it's not neo advaita. it's just people. people take their ignorance to wherever they go. the world is full of ignorant "christians", "buddhists", "yogis", "atheists", "agnostics" etc.

@kieranperez thank you. i'm gonna watch it later.

@Charlotte start working on it already. work hard. if this idea is actually good, people will notice and get along. good ideas are very magnetic.

what i am saying is that science cannot express Truth, even though it's the goal. it's a beautiful and paradoxical dance. i am in the duality between science and Truth as i am in the duality between the name of the emotion and the emotion itself. the duality between the name of a color and the perception of a color. "there's still duality, thus falsity". no sir, duality is an intrinsic aspect of Truth

it is dumb at some point. the prediction is not 100% accurate. no prediction made in science is 100% accurate. no model can ever be 100% accurate.

@kieranperez it's alright. people will keep misunderstanding what models are and why they exist. every model is a dumb simplification at some point. even the most sophisticated equations in physics.

models do not make us more aware of the mechanics of reality. becoming more aware of the mechanics of reality empowers us to build more precise models. models are useful for taking shortcuts in decision making. there is no warranty of optimality or corretude.

a little story: i see the apple falling i know how the apple falls i don't know who i am i know that i am reality reality is aware of the reality falling profound awe

nope, it's just Reality doing its own magic. but we can be aware of the magic being done.

@Nahm scientific/abstract models of Reality is like "knowledge" about how to move your arm. you can create the most accurate models, but those models will never reach Truth. It's the same about moving your arm. some people do not have much dexterity and some people are acrobats. that's like the difference between lay people and scientists.
