@Staples Could you post some material with specifics about the thought experiments he did?

@NoSelfSelf You have a compass, a GPS, right inside you. Align with it. If it feels bad, stop and deduce before proceeding. The world, through that trust of inner guidance, through the clarity that it is how you choose to see it - it quite beautiful. When you say “yeah, but this bullshit here - that ain’t me! THAT is you, and that’s when you pause and realize it’s how you’re looking at it. You are creating the whole damn thing, there is no assertion. The game is how you see it, not what you are seeing - and the game has been afoot since you fell out of a vagina - get going!

@pluto Hell. Yes. You reached right into me with that post. Thanks for that! - “You silly egoistical fool, i am infinite intelligence” - that! ❤️ I swear I heard Zack Dela Rocha whisper into my soul - “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me”. Kick some ass today Source.

@TruthSeeker47 Have you considered an attitude of accountability for how you feel, and your outlook? Sometimes it seems like gloomy days are due to a video we watched, or something someone said, etc. But, in truth, it’s always our interpretation of what others say, and events we witness, which leave us feeling whatever way we do. I am wondering what the intricacies of your meditation practice is like. 40 minutes a day should be bringing you peace of mind and some mental space, at the least. There is a certain ‘depth’, that when reached, the actual psychological and physiological all pervading ‘substance’ of love begins to be real-I-zed. It comes from within, not without, and needs no interpretation. It is freeing, and connecting at the same time, in a most wonderful way, if you let go of perspectives. When you next sit down to meditate, make a point to be decisive - acknowledge this is your time to simply and only be you. You’ll drop all the roles (worker, student, parent, son, daughter, human, alive, etc). Commit that you will let every last aspect of everything just go. Keep relaxing every single muscle deeper and deeper all the way down to the tiny little muscles in your spine from top to bottom. Repeatedly ‘sink’ down into relaxation, and then relax more with every out breath. That is your time to be, to be yourself. When I sit to meditate every morning, I leave ‘all this’ in the most literal sense. Another way to look at this, is you can use practices like meditation etc to let it all go, to allow detachment from thoughts, reaching true peace of mind, and or, you can do positive things for yourself - exercise, clean up your eating, drop bad habits, give to others in unconditional love, donate, volunteer, help someone with anything, read an uplifting book, listen to Uber positive stuff like Abe Hicks, Tony Robbins, Mooji. Way down the road, your gonna see there is only you, and your person is a freaking miracle within a miracle made of love. So for now, consider that, and try to realize, if you’re not feeling the way you want to feel, if you’re not seeing life the way you want to - you are behind it - no one else, it has always been you behind this. There must be things you want to do but aren’t, and or things you want to stop doing, but aren’t. Make a list, and wake up, and start living your life.

Sounds like your building conceptually, unaware you’re adding a gloom & doom aspect. Practices?

@Patang right. ?

@Krishna Siva 20 minutes a day is enough to get you where you are. Do longer, deeper meditations, let the thoughts pass exactly like cars on the road, or waves on the water. A ‘space’, or separation develops from this allowing and it is a wonderful freedom. Eventually, you will not have thoughts in the way you do.

@TruthSeeker47 How does it feel? And did you see a therapist for this, or for other things?

I want a wireless pair of earbuds that play 2 sources, allowing me to put one in the center and the other source panned fully left and right, so i can listen to a video like Leo’s, with AC/DC playing full boar while I run.

That’s a very interesting question. The word faith has always been in flux, always in change. 20 years ago - a word someone uses because they don’t understand the word dogma yet. 10 years ago - a strong character trait for someone digging deep and making a better life, pushing through the adversity of their hardships. Nowadays, it seems like a deep knowing that people have forgotten, but sense it is there - and some seek the truth, and some keep the faith. Maybe it’s following the root of Self / self, aware of it, but without information or theory. I want to answer your question, - faith relative to creating, - but it keeps looping and making me laugh.

@Patang Sound kinda, lost.

@beaucoup I’ve taken many shroom / shroom tea trips, and energetically, only positives which expanded or culminated over time. I discovered that I had an aura on a trip. Real-ized / feel it, would be more accurate. It has a ‘just there’ ness, like reality has ‘is’ ness. Godspeed on your journeys man.

@Leo Gura A video on human emotion, from asleep in the dream, to awoke in the _________, would be really sweet. Maybe cover this crying thing too. ❤️? @MM1988 Just another perspective, in hopes it’s helpful - Something that worked well for me years ago, was to ‘go to’ perception mode. Shift focus to sensory; eyes, ears, smell, feeling the air on my skin, aiming to sense all the senses as one whole sense. It seemed that shifting focus / awareness to sensing ‘outside’, then left room and clarity on what was going on ‘inside’. I made a lot of progress doing that, and I found pretty much exactly what Leo said, that the emotions were from thoughts, and the thoughts boiled down to “me” “survival” & what I was potentially getting or not getting. I was really introverted when I was younger, so that might have had something to do with the effectiveness.

@How to be wise Yeah. Awesome. It’s a nice experience when “alive” crumbles. It’s a funny thing, how realizing a dream, is waking up. Counterintuitive, until the memory of the material self, who was so surely awake, feels counterintuitive.

typo. I meant you’ve not you’re. lol. kinda made it opposite. nice catch. thanks

@Vipassana Sheila was short on compassion in understanding the mind of Merica. Osho was short on relatability, and could have appointed someone more suitable. “Could have been so wonderful” -Tiffany lol

@Crazy_Monkey_Brain You’re mentally assigned things like trust, peace of mind, and love - to her. There’s only you. Self inquire, investigate. When did I first develop trut issues? Why would I think the love experienced by me, is somehow coming from someone else?

@SgtPepper How long did you not eat meat?

@Mj Kumar Try it.

@Samra The intangible is there, in your art. It’s beautiful.

@Timotheus lol. We’re all loopin right back into the love. Such are all things.

@moon777light What’d you get out of this, when you began to do it? Attention? Perhaps an attempt take the focus off someone else’s pain? What were the major events for your immediate family members around the time you starting doin this? A move, a parent lost job, divorce, etc. ?

@Sukhpaal Realize you are getting more of what you focus on, always have.

@Moreira Good thing you can do all this! ❤️

@How to be wise Give up “true”. The actual Truth is unbelievable, unthinkable. Perception of reality in that there are physical things which are seperate, random, and decay, and are all relative to each other, and had a ‘starting point’, and have an ‘ending point’, etc, is not possible. With just the science available today on YouTube, it is also not a rational view. It ends up being very funny, as it is only possible that all that is, is all that is in your awareness, now. It becomes hilariously obvious. At a point, you will find it funny that you “believed” it. Your investigating is on the right path. Thinking “if I’m all powerful, why is this experience so limited?” Needs to be categorized as “Thinking”. All thinking reinforces illusion. Aim to Be. Without thinking. Perhaps consider thinking is the projector which keeps you watching an illusion, believing it’s real. Tell me if this resonates at all...but...it’s not enough to do the practices, take trips, learn the theory - you also have to create it. Consider - you’re dropping all beliefs to simplify and reduce complexity in experience down to being - AND - how could you be in proximity to the creator that you are, without being a creator? Make sense? Be skeptical, but not cynical. Realize with awareness the conditions arising in you, which filter your giving of love. Question those conditions, given it is you who gets to experience the love, wether it is given or received.
