Hermes Trismegistus

@Leo Gura More videos about emotional mastery/understanding would be excellent.

@Leo Gura How can someone directly experience this ? I sometimes feel that this are just word games.

Well, I kind of see what you are saying, it is correct that I do not know what is going to happen. However, Leo mentions specifically the act of dying itself. That my life will cease to exist at some moment. The evidence to this, well, is pretty much everywhere. What am I failing to grasp here? Am I immortal ? If I jump of a tall building I will not actually die ?

Hello everyone, One of the most interesting videos, at least in my opinion was the one where Leo tackled the topic of default positions. However, my mind is still not getting the idea of death being just a position, how can the fact that one day we are all gonna die be just a belief. Isn't death the only thing that was one hundred percent certain. How is this just another belief ? Would love any insight on the matter, thanks.

Hello everyone, A recurrent theme that pretty much appears in every self help book, video, or any other source, is the elimination of suffering. Practically all of this industry can be boiled down to that significant theme. A happier life, with the least amount of pain and suffering. This made me wonder if this is the default state that we, as human beings, are destined to endure. Is the human mind just programmed to make itself miserable ?

If you were to come to Orange County, count me in !

@sgn Loved that comparison to when we were children, and weren't looking for meaning in everything. I was referring to existence by the way, however, I think that would be just beating a dead horse

@Faceless Great way to put it

Thanks, for the feedback everyone. My life purpose is still not so clear to me, and as many have pointed out, this is the main reason that I can not see the "magic" in life. Guess is time to get to work...

At the end, it doesn't even matter.

Hello, guys. During the last couple of years, something click on my mind, and made me change how I view my life. It happen around the time when I turned eighteen, it was more than the classic existential crisis that most of us have during that age, with the pressure of what to do, or what to major on, in college. Instead, I think my mind went the other way with this idea of life being void of meaning. The bottom line is, I am tired of living. To be more specific, I am not depressed (or at least I do not think I am), but I would not mind just dying and saving myself the suffering that comes with life. Just a little info on me, my life is going alright, currently in college, have nice hobbies, an active lifestyle, and not a horrible family. However, just thinking about having to work for many years, responsibilities, doing meaningless task until the day I die, does not seem worth the suffering that comes with it, at least not to me. This kind of mindset, is constantly creeping on my mind, and have taken a toll on my happiness level. Even feeling like a victim at times, but most importantly, makes life feel like a constant uphill battle. Which just helps and feeds even more into this idea of life not being worth the trouble. What I am saying, is that I would not mind dying, and saving myself all the trouble. At the same time I am not planning my suicide or anything like that. Going through the motions of life, or this “journey”, all the ups and downs. It just seems like a waste of time, for the same result. Death. What do you guys think ? Would appreciate any insight on this.
