Once, I saw a dog running in a field after the rain. I thought to myself "Why the fuck is he running like that?", then I realized that he wasn't doing it for any particular reason, he was just running for the joy of running. All of life is Purposeless, and that's the beauty of it.

"I Am that I Am."

You should start by reading Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, it's a must read on the topic. Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins has a great chapter on limiting beliefs as well. If you want to take it to the next level check out the blueprint decoded by RSD, is a program about becoming better with girls but the principles apply on any part of your identity you want to change. It was recorded in 2006 but is still valuable.

What books would you suggest on advaita vedanta? Do you know any clear introduction to it? By the way I love the Tao Te Ching as well, this is one of my favorite quotes from it: Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect.

My theory is that when you try to achieve an egoic dream you are going to have plenty of problems along the way. Nothing is going to work out because the Universe is trying to make you realize that you don't need anything to make you complete. Therefore, egoic dreams are never going to fulfill you and the Universe is never going to help you make them a reality, it is just going to give you a lot of shit in order to wake you up. On the other hand, an higher self dream comes from the realization that you are already enough and don't need anything in the first place. In this case you are going to co-create with the Universe the actualization of your dream into reality, and all kinds of miracles are going to happen. Do you have any other ways to distinguish an egoic dream from an higher self one? I think it would be a great topic for a video @Leo Gura

So what is the nature of the world around us? Am quite confused on this point, many teacher say that the world is the manifestation of God, then others say that the world has nothing to do with God, everybody seems to contradict each other on this point. In my experience, I can sense that everything on the "screen" is moving and is not stable, at the same time am aware that there is something allowing the perception of the images on the screen. Although I have no idea of what this "something" is...

In my opinion, the rich man represents the ego because is impossible to experience the Absolute and preserve at the same time your false identity. What do you guys think?

What if Musk is trying to achieve success just for the joy of doing it and success is his personal spiritual practice? (Probably not the case but still) Don't you think that achieving success could be in his own way a spiritual practice? On your path to success you will have plenty of opportunities to destroy your ego. There are certainly plenty of people who try to achieve success in the wrong way, but I think that is possible to become successful in the right way. Sometimes you sound a lot like a Zen Devil when you say extreme things such as "successful people are not happy". I personally want to become successful not because I need it to make me happy, but because I still don't want to go spend the rest of my life on a mountain on the Himalayas. I try to become successful as an active meditation. Of course, from time to time I get attached to things but that's the whole point of the practice. Saying that successful people are not happy is a dangerous thing. Someone could misunderstand you and think that there is no reason why they should improve their life. And that's what most people that are deep in spirituality already do, they tell lies to themselves to accept the fact that their life sucks. Have a look at the people that go to Eckhart Tolle's events they are just fucking lost. I think there is a middle ground in this paradox of spirituality and success. And it looks like you can't see it. Some jedi shit at minute 40:00, Dominick says that in order to come back from his many injuries he had to let go of the need to be a champion and a fighter. And as soon as he detached his ego from the outcome of being the champion his body started to recover. Spiritual lessons can be learned in different ways, not just by sitting on top of a mountain, anyway that's just my opinion.

I while back I read Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland. The main point of the book is that there are an infinite number of parallel realities. Therefore, you can live in the reality you prefer by switching to the one you prefer. (I haven't quite understood how this process works) He says in the book that when a psychic is bending a spoon, he is not really bending the spoon but merely switching to a reality where the spoon is already bent. This theory reminds me of Leo's theory of everything, it would explain miracles (Jesus and other masters knew about this stuff?) and all the weird things that are usually called paranormal phenomena. Basically nothing is impossible, anything can be the content of consciousness, and you can chose what the content of your consciousness is going to be. Really think about it, your consciousness can experience ALL kind of different things. I don't know how to do it, am just assuming that's the way it is, and sure it does makes a lot of sense, it would explain everything. So there is nothing special in seeing a dragon, an alien, a monster, or anything else because those are just the content of your consciousness. Let me know what you guys think about it, and if you have any more resources I could read that would be great, I really like this topic. I read the last book by Jed Mckenna "A Conspiracy Theory" and it was just mind blowing.

What's the name of the book? Is it in your book list? I would really enjoy reading it because I write stories myself.

What would you be doing if money and time were not a problem? What would you do with your life if all your needs were met forever? Will you be spending your time writing articles about animals? Will you be spending your time making short movies about nature? Here it is a great article by Mark Manson about finding your passion.

I have read plenty of books about financial success and the best is by far The Millionaire Fastlane. Highly suggested to everyone.

Is a topic that I find interesting, am just really curious to know what the heck is going on here

@Leo Gura What's the meaning of life? Or to put it in another way, why there is something instead of nothing? (Or at least why it seems that way) I know that various teachers say that there is no meaning of life or that the meaning of life is to entertain brahman etc... For me these kind of answers are only possibilities, I don't know if they are true though. Do you think is possible to really know it, to have a true insight about it?

Have you ever done it? I saw once a documentary on YouTube of a girl having all kinds of hallucinations while doing it. Apparently after a long time in the dark the brain starts producing 5-MeO-DMT by itself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ_HsQkBkJA&t=125s In this video Ken Wilber explains why a person is not his body, but I can't understand what he means. Can someone explain it in a simpler and more direct way? Thank you.

This is another statement that I have never understood, if it is not an experience then what is it? Everything around us is an experience, a perception. How can someone "experience" enlightenment, if it is not an experience?

Thank you for your answer, can you elaborate on this? What is the logic behind your statement?
