I would love to attend this retreat. Its probably not realistic for me to go next year, but eventually for sure. If you do one in Europe, all the better. I think Portugal is also a good candidate along with Netherlands for that.

Hey, im getting this error message lately on the forum. The error message is a bit confusing for me, its phrased like the problem is with my device, but i think i got it with multiple devices one of them definitely has sufficient storage…

Yooo that is interesting, but how/why did they do this ? Through empirical knowledge or they knew something thats lost on us ?

Thanks for the video, Leo! The main insight about Truth is top quality, however the part where you mentioned people who are not spiritually minded was specially interesting to me, because i was thinking about this quite a bit lately. As you said there are people who want to be interested in Truth but its just not in their system or have a hard time to do the labor, but my point is that there are people who are just not interested at all. I can think of a few topics that would make for an interesting conversation, for example: Raising the base level of consciousness vs. enlightenment - to advance humanity The unfilled role of spiritual guidance in modern societies after religion A lot of political stuff, like how advanced should a government be vs. representing the people (this is more of a philosophical question as todays governments don't do either well)

Exactly. Thanks for having us, Leo! And it does seem to be faster in the past couple days, i wasn’t much online though.

I noticed you said earlier that your comments are sarcastic. You are not playing with me, are you? Anyway if you are serious, i just dont have the energy or time for a meaningful conversation right now. This whole conversation was on the level of a facebook post comment section.

You got 1 jigsaw out of the 1000 pieces puzzle there. You cant be seriously expecting that simplistic thinking like that is going to accurately describe human social behaviour.

He is literally wanted at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. And even if he wasn’t he lives with the benefits of a civilized world while destroying it for everybody else. This is not the middle ages anymore.

In my understanding the paper goes about a fundamental change in how we drive that would be most probably also be represented in traffick law changes. And of course we can change how we are doing things as a society. Yes there’ll be people that suck, but that doesn’t mean you don’t upgrade shit. 200 years from now the people are going to look back at us and they will be amazed how stupid and inefficient we were.

I grew up in the hip-hop culture and i still love rap today. My first music cd was 8 mile from Eminem. Im much more selective now though than i used to be. I might come back here later to post some hungarian rap music. Cheers

Indeed, thats funny. Im the handsome clone though! About the war, it has to be stopped. You are reasoning for not fixing the brakes on a car, because the shieldwipers are broken as well.

Intelligence is a really good contemplation subject. Intelligence is an aspect of consiousness just like Love is. Leo has some pointers for you though.

Yeah im 99% sure its a backend problem

And one shall be doing some checking out. I think i might be one of those who have glossed over it.

@SOUL Very good insight. Sometimes i feel like im a paranoid… Goddamn you, lizard mind!!

I tought what you are describing is kind of similar to what the Buddha meant by the Middle Way.

I never heard of that before. Good luck on your journey. You are doing a good job with the self awareness and willingness to change!

Believe it or not, Leo was my introduction into the world of personal development. I literally typed in “personal development” into youtube and one of his videos came up. My first reaction was crying, because i finally found someone like me. That must have been like 10 years ago now. I had a phase early on when i would preach enlightenment to my best friends… dumb idea obviosly. Later i tried to share spiral dynamics and content thats not too advanced with friends i tought would be interested / capable. Never got a single conversation out of it. This is why i said recently this forum is probably the best place to meet intelligent people online.

The right wing didn’t only rise in the US. Obviosly this is not a comprehensive list, but here is an interesting timeline: 2012 - Viktor Orbán of Hungary gets 2/3 majority in the parlament that he never let go still going in 2025. He is critiqued in the Eu for eroding democratic institutions and good friends with Trump. 2014 - Annexation of Crimea, which im mentioning because its foreshadowing of the international political environment to say the least 2016 - Trump first term 2018 - Brexit 2020 - Covid brings about even more chaos and instability which will always result in reinforcement of nationality in politics. After that, the right wing visibly got a foothold everywhere in the west. For example in 2021 - first major political breakthrough of Javier Milei of Argentina. I remember clearly this was very loud in mainstream media 2022 Meloni of Italy 2023 Russia - Ukraine war begins. At this point it would be harder to mention countries in the EU that didn’t see the rise of right wing political power and as i said this is far from a comprehensive list, there are many themes i didnt mention here like: midwest, immigration, backlash against globalization etc.

It felt good to read about the protests in Tel Aviv, wether its going to change things or not. We need to stand up for human values.

For me it sounds like your problem is not primarily with anger, but a resentment towards your brother. Could be coming from bad childhood experiences for example. Could be worth investigating. Ask yourself if you would get that angry or triggered over a dispute about dishes with a different person?

I listened to Theo Von's podcast with Mark Zuckerberg a few months ago now i think. He seemed to genuinly believe that what he is doing with social media is a net positive - i think he even denied that there are any negative consequences of what he is doing. I know the outcome is to an extent is the same, but i like ignorant people more than someone who wont see something on purpose. He seemed like a genuinely cool and intelligent guy, its just that his whole being revolves around technology ignoring everything else. Same with Jeff Bezos, my impression of him was not at all that he is this evil greedy person, he is just ignorant. Regarding AGI, i always forget what people mean by that. "...sometimes called human‑level intelligence AI—is a type of artificial intelligence that would match or surpass human capabilities across virtually all cognitive tasks." - Wikipedia That could be true that some AI has already surpassed human capabilities in performing cognitive tasks, but for me becoming intelligent means something else. When i hear AI is going to be intelligent im thinking about AI becoming a " living being ". And they are far away from that in my understanding.

It doen’t seem like debating here is going to be fruitful, all im going to say is that i disagree, if there is place for that in your topic.

Solipsims is a mindfuck dude. And a big one. Leo explains solipsism exactly as what you are describing as Direct Reality. There are no other beings in your experience, only you. That IS experience and not thought. If i had to try my best to articulate the mind fuck is that there is not only that other beings do not exist, but you don't exist either. Its the Godhead that experiences solipsism if that makes sense... There is nothing else just the Godhead, which is exactly what you are saying as well. As someone wrote here on the forum recently, there are many paths that lead up to the mountain. They said its a Hindi proverb, but i think i heard it ffrom the Kung Fu Panda

Just to be clear, outgrowing a human concept (morality in this case), doesn't necessarily mean that the opposite of the concept is aligned with God. There are plenty of people who deconstructed morality before and they aren't becoming serial killers. Thats because beyond morality there is Love. There is an important point to make there but im getting tired now and phrasing english sentences are getting hard. I think Leo actually made a video about morality, check that one out. Anyhow, you are talking about something waaay out of reach from the ordinary human consciousness.
