You neurodiverged him 🙂👏🌚 -

Ironically, the "truth-seeking" expounded here is survival, dressed up as truth-seeking. Give me the "next" insight, the "next" awakening, the "next" deeper understanding. -

Even contemplating for yourself is like buying a sandbox from Walmart and digging in it. You're probably not going to hit the motherload. Your words, your concepts, your semantic web, is just bland Walmart sand. Everybody basically has it, only varying quantities of it. And your starting assumption should be that any sandcastle you build, has by any reasonable certainty already been built, perhaps using slightly different sand (what is Walmart in India?). -
In what way? What makes it detrimental to longevity? Taxing the brain now? Why is it detrimental to longevity? How do you know this?

What are "bullshit jobs"?

Working out taxes the body as well. You're not supposed to workout 24/7.

Depends on how much of a beating you need. -

First you have to beat it into a pulp. First you have to scream into the abyss as you get teared apart and sucked into it. Then it's a win win. [Abyss emoji] -

Half-assing spirituality makes the self feel good. Whole-assing it kills it, permanently. -

The end of suffering is truth. Anything else is survival. Survival is suffering. @Leo Gura I feel you have always misunderstood suffering, as if it's this "ouchie ouchie" thing an organism exclamates, this strong and persistent sensation of pain or misery. No. It's merely dissatisfaction, of trying to squeeze partialness, division, out of life. Which is always fleeting, so the pressure reignites, going in cycles, which is disconcerting when the cycles are short or hard. Alleviating the pressure, brings you into union, true non-duality. -

Maybe he realized it wasn't true? Maybe? It's when you shut up. But then people want you to talk, so you put it into words. And that's when the entire hell of deception starts. You should sometimes appreciate those who take the piss out of talking. I remember such a being once. -
Or protects against people who do harm by perhaps being an asshole.

The self independent of shame and other externally oriented states (shame, guilt, embarrassment happens in the DMN).

Roughly speaking, the state meditation puts you in is the state where all work is done (the opponent to the Default Mode Network, or DMN, is by some called the "Tasking Network", TN; meditation decreases DMN and increases TN).

Odablock (streamer), #1 PvPer overall on Oldschool RuneScape, most ADHD person (watch him trying to get somebody to teach him the Cow boss) but also the most refinement-oriented, practice-oriented person. He says he used to record himself and watch back what he did in a fight and correct the mistakes. Skill, mastery, is simply about doing the thing a lot, and doing it right. I feel like you treat DSM-5 categories like they're some kind of metaphysical thing, but I treat them as identical to descriptions like "lack of commitment". So when I hear "it requires commitment, which people with ADHD struggle with", I'm like "yeah duh". No need to pole it out.

People will care about you even if you're not whatever kind of impossible definition of special you have in mind. And nobody is truly special. So you don't have to worry about that. Now what do you want to do? You will leave your own little mark on whatever you do. In that sense, you are always special.
-
Chant "I love you" internally and imagine immense bliss and love enveloping you once the thought arises. What you were lacking during that experience was love, reassurance, safety, and you will give that to yourself. Or imagine like the most loving trip sitter (whatever gender you prefer) telling you "everything is going to be fine, I'm here" and holding you. This is essentially standard loving-kindness meditation and CBT.

Way too crude and dichotomous. You can just say mastery and understanding are different and may have trade-offs.
-
Eat more fiber or protein (voluminous and satisfying foods) and plan the exact amounts of food you will eat each meal.

I like how one of the robots almost fell, and then on the next move, it fell. Was it programmed into it (to demonstrate how it could get up and do it with style) or was it a design flaw or something else (e.g. part of the overall show to make it seem more human; some are more clumsy than others)? -

You will realize you didn't actually want the truth and it will scare you to your deepest core. -
Nothing like working a job. If I wasn't made to cook at 12, I wouldn't be this absolute master chef I am today 🔪🍴🍌🍆😝

Leo didn't just kick out Nahm for talking funny. He actually started cracking down on non-duality (if in name only; I can't remember him actually banning anybody for it). It was quite funny actually because nobody actually knew what he (Leo) was talking about, only him, so he had to crack down on literally everybody, but using non-duality as a scapegoat was the simplest way. Him kicking Nahm for talking "incomprehensively" was ironically likely only a projection of his own inability to make himself understood (which he now directly vocalizes as "you don't understand what I'm talking about"). Then he calmed down over time (we know why that was). And now I'm back, talking about non-duality. I had to take a break, not because I needed, but because I wasn't allowed to talk about it. And if you think I'm making this shit up: First read the "Nahm Demoted" thread with the hints towards "non-duality teachings do not resonate with God-realization or Actualized.org teachings" (paraphrasing), then read these comments: Bonus post (response to this comment, echoes what has been said in this thread): Bonus posts, legend @Osaid implicitly reflects my concerns on Infinity of Gods (as Maya), and Alien Awakening too: I've had that exact comment in my mind ever since his infinity of gods video Bonus post ("who understands? Only Leo"): And of course, all the comments linked happened in the time after Nahm got demoted and he created a non-dual exodus when he started recruiting to his forum and eventually got banned on this forum. Those left were the suck-ups who could tolerate "you don't know what you're talking about" and only Leo being "the only awake being in existence". By the way, most of the comments are taken from a thread by @ardacigin, a rare genius, deconstructing solipsism and also Leo's various backflipping Mickey Mouse alien awakenings as MAYA (a thread I had forgotten about but which I channeled in spirit when I made my own threads/comments on these topics later).

Let go of everything. Including your life. Not your physical body. The one that thinks it is driving it. The thing that thinks it has plans, places to go, things to do, wishes to fulfill. All that must go. This can be done quite methodically. Go one by one; every time a thought of a thing arises that involves a "should" or "I like/dislike", let it go. "I'm ok with whatever happens". "I'm ok with or without this". Every thought, let it go. Keep letting go, over and over. Until there is no more left to let go of. -
If Leo actually applied this teaching to its logical ultimate (letting go of your entire life), Leo would be teaching non-duality/Enlightenment/liberation, not Absolute [insert whatever thought I had while drinking coffee this morning, don't forget capital letter].
