You criticize the brain a lot and like to point out things that it's not responsible for (like causing the existence of consciousness). However, what is the brain actually responsible for?

Still, the way he phrashes it has typical red/blue dictator wibes. "I hope I will be remembered" was said as a standalone sentence. Zappa's point that the people who care about being remembered are people like Reagan and Bush applies here.

Nooo please don't

If you only knew how many people have said the exact same thing as you... Do you think your thoughts are original?

I get troll wibes.

It's creativity and imagination.

I'm afraid that train is gone. This is deep childhood developmental stuff.

How do you dance?

That is literally what I came to do here. That is what direct experience is all about. It's all you

3:39:40 Not gonna lie but that was freaking hilarious

But I am only talking to myself

Oh she is much more than that

Because that is what you're actually doing right now. You're just unaware that everything you consider to be an authority is decided by you. Authorities are made up. You only have your own authority and you like to extend it outwards to an external source because you lack self-love. My advice is just to stop tip-toeing around that fact and go straight to the source of direct experience.

Let's say that you meditate and discover something new about yourself. Are you taking that on faith from someone else?

...and likewise you're just assuming that he is not talking from his own experience. I'm not merely saying "trust in yourself". I'm more saying "only trust in yourself". Why are you here doubting whether you could trust Leo if you only trust in yourself? Every response you've made here is based on doubt.

See this is your problem: insecurity. You're grasping for an authority to cling on to, and now you're projecting your own insecurity onto other people. Cultivate your intuition and establish a connection to direct experience, and ground yourself in Being. You're the only authority in the entire world. Learn to trust yourself.

You're the entire universe, Sunny Jim ?

Judging by his recent downfall, I'm seeing less and less a Tier 2 thinker and more and more an emotionally damaged and socially unaware Stage late-Orange/mid-Green person with a heavy Red tint.

Learn to cultivate intuition and trust in your direct experience.

He tried to cut through the sense of self by using a butter knife, and then he fumbled and dropped his knife on the floor.

You create it out of nothing.

Starve yourself nearly to death like the Buddha did (I don't actually recommend that).

Stage White would make more sense in terms of the physics of visible light, but I like it

Ah finally an educated opinion

It's essentially about learning to trust yourself and not being overly neurotic about your daily life. If you're doing consciousness work, you will learn to instinctually know and feel what forms of behaviour/entertainment are compatible with that process. It doesn't require you to make a list of do's and don'ts where you end up recoiling in fear if you accidentally step outside the box. Develop your intuitive side and trust your own direct experience.
