I thought this would be a good share. I believe this is material that Leo has never covered and would be greatly beneficial to people. In the video Dr. K explains how to do something that your mind has you resisting by essentially pausing and staying paused until your mind lets you do what you need to do. I personally have coined it the "Hostage Technique" since you are sort of taking your mind hostage. edit: To be clear I know that Leo has made videos about resistance. This is simply another technique.

I am looking for some advice on how to balance creativity and learning. What proportion of my time should be spent on original thinking (creativity) vs learning? I know the more I learn the greater my requisite variety will be and the more creative insight there will be but that also has to be balanced with the time that I spend doing the actual original thinking. Any thoughts?

@Kksd74628 How do you change what you believe?

Please tell me this Raptor guy is trolling

If a computer can do everything you do then are you being creative?

@Danioover9000 That video you linked poisons the rest of your message there buddy. Awful cherry-picked sampling it makes me cringe. ?

Here is one of my favorite AIs Simulating a game within a neural network... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udPY5rQVoW0

For a few weeks I had been experiencing what I believed to be resistance to this new form of meditation I was trying to implement into my life. One day the resistance was tough enough that I looked for some external help and remembered the Sedona Method. I tried it and it worked great but only just for a few days. Eventually I got hit by a big enough ego backlash that I couldn't push myself anymore and I reverted back to my old routines from a few months ago. How do I distinguish between when I am resisting something and when I pushing myself too hard and wearing myself out? TL;DR : How do I tell the difference between resistance and actual mental exhaustion?

What does it mean to increase consciousness? How can there be more or less consciousness if everything is consciousness? This might be a pedantic thing to ask, I assume there are two meanings here for different contexts. Leo talking about bandwidth got me thinking; is consciousness just awareness? If I increase my awareness then is that what it means to increase my consciousness? For example, I've never taken a psychedelic but I imagine that such a drastic change in state of consciousness increases one's awareness of how all encompassing consciousness is and thus "increases consciousness".

This isn't spirituality this is fantasy land.

I've been following this technology for years. It is so exciting that it has gotten so big even Vox is covering it now.

I saw this video and it really resonated with me. Warning the video is a little distressing. This is just a reminder of what a lack of love does to someone. Love yourself.

Because "life unfolds in chapters" your best goal depends on the context of your life. So maybe the best meta-goal for this purpose is context awareness at all times in your life.

@The0Self What are the meanings?

@The0Self That doesn't really answer my question(s).

Hatred has a sick primal attraction to it, but this person had to be missing so many firewalls in their mind to go this far and do something like this.

I consider visualization a meditation. I am a little confused about what do. When I visualize, ideas will pop into my mind. Do I ignore the ideas and focus on the visualization, or do I write the ideas down and then continue with the visualization?

@WokeBloke That is delusion.

My neck hurts just watching that lol

Replace consciousness with direct experience.

It frustrates me a lot when people have such bad faith interpretations of spirituality lol.

@Reciprocality Could you rephrase that in english?

Expand what you consider art.
