I didn't say it's easy One of the hardest jobs in the world, but to most people it seems easy. I've been trading for 4 years, now I feel I am only at the first grade. I just recommended it because if you become good at it after thousands of hours, you can get lots of free time.

Learn about stock market and forex, gather some small capital, and the learn swing trading. You just have to sit and be patient most of your days.

@Oeaohoo Interesting information, thanks man! Indeed more knowledge slowly increases confusion, kind of a paradox, right?

Yeah, I believe it could help, but as you know, autism is a spectrum, and I think low levels of it could help. If someone has severe autism, I'm not sure if it would be easier for that person to be more mindful or meditate better. I know a few people with severe autism, they can be alone for sure, but meditation is not just being alone, many times they are not comfortable with their thoughts and it kinda bothers them.

@Hojo You are looking at this with great pessimism. I don't agree with your conclusion. Some cultures don't have Santa, they have other imaginary characters, and also God. When they grow up they stop believing in imaginary characters, because they know they are not real, and they have been created to teach children some lessons. And that will have nothing to do with their idea of God. Yeah, I think many of the fictional characters are basically mushrooms

If you are interested in history and political situation in Iran, this video gives some good information.

Some people just are not into politics. I get that. I was like this when I was younger. But it also very much depends on were you live. I assume you are living in a first world democracy and have the luxury of not being political. If you live in most other countries like china,middle east,russia, and many more,you kinda"have to" be political. Because political arena affect each and every aspect of your life. So I suggest start with basic worldwide political news. Then understand the politics of the place that you live. If you got interested,study some books about subjects that you find interesting. I think everyone who wish to grow should at least have some basic understanding of current geopolitics of the world.

I get what you mean but I don't think Lex just wants click, I believe he really has genuine desire for constructive and good conversation, and he tries to see different views while holding his own beliefs.

@How to be wise 40 years ago people thought they were doing opposite of that. They believed that they are overthrowing a dictator(Shah of Iran), and replacing it with a republic. But after a while, specially in the aftermath of Iraq war on Iran (which lasted 8 years), some assholes grabbed the power in Iran. People got fooled 40 years ago, and now they have been paying the price since.

I get what you mean. There is indeed sorrow in human world and our lives. But I believe if you get a more comprehensive understanding of "eternity", then sorrow will slowly lose its meaning...

So, you guys from US might find this interesting. Last night was football(soccer) match between Iran and US. Almost everyone in Iran wanted US to win, because football team is heavily pro-government and they are actually controlled by the government. Last night you could literally hear people inside their building chanting for US victory. And then US won, and thousands of people went into street to celebrate! And then these criminals shot and killed this 27 year old man in front of his wife, just because he was honking his car horn! They also smashed people's car glasses and beat many people. This is what we are dealing with! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-63805284

It depends on your physiology, your level of mindfulness, and your psychological and spiritual development. I have experienced deep experiences even on 100 micro, but I think anything above 200 will create some deep trips for sure.

@r0ckyreed Your points are acceptable, but, everything depends on how you define "existing" and "reality". I have one big problem with Leo's and many other "teachers" teachings. He uses lots of words, and assumes that he is conveying a meaning to other people. When you say "There is only one mind" or "There is no outside world", these words are practically meaningless. (I am not saying his teachings have no value, these subjects are inherently extremely hard to talk about, that's why they cannot be taught just by saying them!) We should focus on defining the words. Then we can have better conversation with others, and also thoughts in our minds. That amazon book is indeed real and in the outside world. But we have a distorted perception of "real" and "outside world".

I really find it hard to believe this. @LordFall Interesting, I never gave much thought to red, but now that you mentioned it, it seems to me that there are more red people around the world than what it looks like. I do believe as Leo said, it hugely depends on where to look, it's very hard to generalize, but I think the majority is not orange yet (globally) and blue still predominates the human population. In west you see lot of orange. In somewhere like middle east and parts of Asia, red and blue are the majority, orange people are those who try to advance their society, and we have some few green and above minorities. Funny thing is that in some middle eastern countries most of their old and new literature are about stage turquoise values!

From now on, if somebody asks me what do you do, I'll say: talking to you! Thanks for sharing

I am from Iran, and mullah who rule my country are one of the biggest allies of Russia, and many people inside Iran believe that mullah are in the pocket of Putin. So nowadays it is obvious to Iranian people that Russia is getting weaker with more chaotic situation, and that is horrible for mullahs because they cannot rely on Russia as much as before. Islamic republic makes shitty weapons, and now Russia is buying weapons from them! Putin is cornered bad... I believe both Putin and Mullahs regime may fall or get significantly weaker in the next year or two.

Totally agree

Well, if you think you are, don't be brother, be kind.

I know you are awakened and God and everything, but why do you get bored? Is being God that boring that it makes you come here and say everyone is wrong and you are right? Come on God, be creative. You said bullshit detector is lighting up for this guy in the video. To be honest, most of your comments are the best examples of BS for me.

This guy is interesting, I've seen him on Gaia channel a few times, of course I cannot believe everything he says, but if what he says is true, then as you said he is an important person to listen to. Although I should say many of his believes or words have been said before many times. You don't need to believe everything people say. It doesn't mean they are necessarily lying. World is weird. I'll listen to this podcast for sure. Thanks for sharing. Totally agree.

Such a good point!

For sure! Devils always fall.

You guys said everything. My opinion in short: Sadhguru is not right about everything, all the time, he has his own biases. Yes, sex do indeed affect the body (every action does, but sex more strongly, because of the underlying physiological aspects of sex, both in the brain and other organs), and these effects might interfere with the ability to reach some mental and spiritual stages. This is not very hard to believe. and I do believe this is true. Each action has different effects on your body's physiology. It's just plainly wrong if you compare effects of sex with walking or writing. My friends: do not assume that everything past cultures taught us are all meaningless biases, there are lots of wisdom in their teachings.

Trading in Forex market. It takes time, at least 2-3 years, and it will cost you both mentally and financially, but it's worthwhile.
