@David Strickleton There is no crossroads other than the perceptual one you are creating with every thought and every word. Best to put those thoughts and words to what you want and only what you want, then, that's all that will be.

@The Monk Don't choose during a hangover next time. Understand why he drinks.

My wife uses that same one, she love's it. Calming smell too. To me it's like having a headache and then taking something for it and then feeling clear of it when it's gone, except the effect of the removal of fluoride was like letting go of a headache I didn't know I had because, unfortunately and ignorantly I had made it part of my default vibration. I could only notice it once I experienced it's absence, so it's impossible to really communicate. I do understand why Socrate's referred to the pineal gland as where the soul resides, and I would have previously thought I understood that.

Of everything I've changed, water and toothpaste without floride and deodorant without aluminum have been the most impactful feeling to me. (In addition to a managed BMI and letting go of empty calories)

These pieces only compute in the loop. Collapse...experience...discomfort x resistance x suffering = expansion x collapse x experience x suffering x perception = collapse

What I've always found interesting about Sam is that he understands the uncertainty principle, understands that the fabric of everything is also him and in this sense the ego is illusory, and he see's that this one thing is also him, but he does not connect that he is the uncertainty principle. If he did, it would, in turn, reveal his 'accurate understanding of the nothingness' to be a mere ignorance of his own collapsing.

@No-Thing It will happen any way, and denying the nature is fruitless. You are the nature and you are expanding and so are they.

Great convo on relativity, just circular without understanding the uncertainty principle, the relationship between mindy body / perspective & collapse, and the 'exterior reality' that keeps getting referred to as an illusion is not seperate and not a no thing, even as it is constructed of no thing, which is not no thing - but you. Lots of references to things 'being' what they are unrelated & seperate from the observer, which was proven to be an incorrect assumption about a hundred years ago. This is the nature, not what's been talked about here. It is not enlightened to say that anything, reality, morals, anything, are true in any objective way because no thing is other than what an individual collapses and the individual is the same nature as any thing collapsed. This is why we learn about ourselves in learning about what we're collapsing, and why we learn about what we're collapsing when we learn about ourselves. This is how the universe is expanding within itself. When you say it is this or that, you are not wrong, you are right, because it's that individual perspective that is doing the collapsing perpetuating the very expansion. There's a level of enlightened to say everything is nothing and is accepted, and after that there is another level of enlightenment that says it is what it is because of and only because of the collapse process, which an observer is at the helm of by default, and can influence, shape and create. The choice is so powerful that one can even believe that in nihilism they are not choosing.

Who I am is a merry-go-round. What I am will get things movin.

@harisankartj meditate into and out of dreams.

@Bombardini keep going ??

@ItsMeIA You state you have been conditioned as if you know that, but clearly you don't know, because your words came from your conditioning. To repair, write out a few pages about what you see in her. Then throw that in the garbage and start over. Do that numerous times until you have to pause to wipe your own tears away because you realize the beauty of the entire universe is within her, is her. It is in everything and it is right there in front of your face always, and you're missing it.

@Spiral The right girlfriend can only be present when you are at peace with yourself. Until then, a significant other is the best teacher.

@Dodo Telling someone they are nothing is not a metaphor. It's a communication from total misunderstanding of reality and the self. Nothing can't be happy, can't accomplish, can't pursue, can't love, can't develop, can't create. Lots of people refer to things all the time. Things leaders say. Things that are popular. Things of repetition. That has nothing to do with truth or benefit for me. It's often the obstacle.

I started learning guitar and singing around age 13. After singing at a few bars, weddings, etc...public speaking is easy. After keeping a band motivated and together and on point with unified focus, running my business is easy. After spending countless hours learning classical guitar, focus, connection, no monkey mind, inner peace, calmness...are all easy.

@Shan Experience is the best medium. Do everything you want to do, and then you'll know.

@Dodo Even the mirage is something collapsed from the everything. If it were nothing, you could not have referred to it.

@Telepresent My apologies. I left blanks to be filled in with reference to age. Really, my bad. I apologize if I am offending any dj's. I am speaking from experience, having dj'd and performed vocally with guitar and piano for crowds for about 25 years. I am not trying to rain on any dj's parade. I'm saying from my experience, dj'ing is pushing buttons because what is required to push a crowd through the roof, literally, is just pushing the right buttons. A dj is literally playing music that other people poured their life into, not the dj. But to win a crowd vocally and with an instrument is a personal journey within, that is later the experience of sharing one's very self with a crowd. Mastering an instrument requires years if not decades and one must continuously give up one's self. If one persists with an instrument for their entire life, the undertaking becomes nothing about music and crowds, and only about the vastness within. It becomes resolve and conviction. Imagine for a moment that you sit next to Stevie Wonder as he performs Overjoyed. Then immediately after, you sit next to someone who plays the recording of it. The difference should become apparent.

When a wave knows it is the ocean, it can truly be a wave.

@Shin Something does not arise from nothing. Consider your own definition of nothing for a minute. Something only arises from the observance of everything. The ego self even, can not be nothing, because by our definition it would not be at all, yet it is, because we are referring to it right now. It is from the everything. To tell anyone they are nothing, is the same as telling them they are not of the everything. It is already in itself an act of separation and violence by the sayer.

In infinite eternalness, there is no wrong. Wrong is a thought, a product of the brain, which itself is a product of the everything and is the everything.

You're attempting to take the one thing in the universe that embodies the superposition and thus makes choices, and reduce it with categorization back into the fold of probability. This reveals a lot more about how you perceive your self than anything about Leo. As to how Leo perceives himself in this regard, I don't know.
