Heart of Space

A lot of ego's fearing hell in this thread. It's understandable, it's a fear ingrained in you from birth. Mostly from religious conditioning. I've dealt with that too.

I always thought of reincarnation in a less literal sense, like as in you (god) are reincarnated infinitely living all possible lives. But I never took it as a linear timeline of birth and death, or where you get reincarnated based on how moral you were.

I've drank a lot of apple cider vinegar, didn't know it did anything to your pineal gland. For me it always just suppressed appetite, helped blood sugar, and reduced water retention.

Gave it a watch. Great video, look forward to more. ?

UBI as a flat unchanging amount of money for everyone is a very poor idea. Economies fluctuate and constantly change, with that so does the need for income redistribution. You have to monitor a lot of variables, the most important being inflation rates, and tie your level of income redistribution to said variables. Something better would be tax rates that fluctuate based on constantly monitoring of economic variables, where it is possible to have a negative tax rate for people lower on the socioeconomic ladder. An Andrew Yang style UBI would be a terrible idea. You'd end up overheating the economy at some point and because of how slow the legislative process is and the popularity of free money for the masses you would have an extremely hard time getting rid of UBI, meanwhile damage is being done to your economy as the value of your currency dwindles down the toilet. Not to mention you're giving the UBI to everyone, including the hyper wealthy? That's an utter waste of spending. Far better to do a targeted wealth redistribution that can be turned up or down based on where the economy is at.

Maybe sticking an ice pick in my balls is the right choice.

Space literally doesn't exist. Everything exists relative to everything else. If there exists one object in a universe is it possible for it to move in any direction? No, because there is nothing else to be relative to in terms of location. The single object literally exists perpetually in the center of that universe. Infinite nothing expanding outward forever on all sides. Create a universe with two objects and you can now move each object relative to eachother. So, the appearance of distance or space is created by the objects themselves, therefore it is a property of the objects. The mere existence of the second object creates the possibility of the appearance of space. The space in between has no properties. Nothing changed with the space itself, the only thing that changed from the first example universe is the existence of a second object. Space, distance, or dimensions implies the properties existing within nothingness. Nothingness has no properties, there are zero dimensions. There is only the appearance of dimensions because of relativity of things or objects that exist within nothingness. There is only ever present eternal nothing.

It's good you're being honest about yourself. Empathy is a beautiful thing. It sounds like you've been seriously hurt in the past. I hope you can heal whatever is making you feel that way about yourself and others.

Nah, you literally could give everyone 1 trillion dollars without reducing government spending 1 dollar. Obviously that would be catastrophic, but it's possible in our current system. The debt number is entirely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is inflation rate, that's it. That's the only limiting factor.

Debt created by the central bank doesn't matter. It's effectively a zero interest loan that never has to be paid back. The only issue is inflation from injecting large sums of money into the economy. Our debt will expand to infinity, it does not matter in the way you think it does.

I was speaking poetically and describing what that photo was to me. It could be photoshopped, doesn't make a difference. I wasn't trying to get into a debate over details.

That's the will of a enlightened soul, absolutely unbreakable. If there were ever a photo that encapsulates spirituality taken to it's finality this is it.

For the record, I was actually thinking of a post outside of this thread when I wrote this. This point is more relevant on this topic, so I hope no one felt like I was belittling their answer. Specifically @Nahm I saw you answered something along those lines and I didn't want you to feel I was doing that to you. ?

If I ask if I should participate in a yoga practice I feel like a third of this forum would respond with: "there is no person to do yoga." While true, it doesn't really answer the question.

The dangers are psychological. To expand on @Natasha's point I've found that after extensive work the ego can have backlash. It is where the ego bucks and writhes with emotional pain. You can experience some intense levels of fear and desire to do behaviors that perpetuate the ego's growth and existence. You could have great urge to do toxic and addictive behaviors and in more extreme cases have suicidal thoughts. It's important to keep in perspective that this spiritual sickness can be a natural part of the process of moving towards the goal and to respond in a healthy manner. The level that this issue arises is proportional with how much and how intensely you practice. So if you are going at an easy pace you will likely only have very mild issues here and there.

They are in a deeply meditative state on a regular basis. Meditation is about quieting the mind. Just because someone isn't sitting in full lotus with eye's closed does not mean they aren't meditating.

When a group of people are extremely passionate about the same thing and gather together to further their cause it will naturally look like a cult to the sheep and zombies. The greatest cult I see is the cult of complacency, comfort, delusion and self-hatred that is modern society.

Be the change you want to see, @onacloudynight. Please show us what high consciousness posts look like. I'm not mocking you at all, please I look forward to you sharing your wisdom with us.

I believe his biggest issue is all the baggage that he carries from his former life. It sort of colors how people view him in a way that might tempt people to project onto him as someone who couldn't be a serious spiritual teacher. He also seems to have come so far so quickly, which is of course good. But though he is wise, he perhaps lacks the same quantity knowledge that a spiritual teacher who studied for many decades before enlightenment. That being said, I think Leo does a more than a great job with what he is given and I think there is a bright future for him as a spiritual teacher and guru. I feel lucky to have the privilege's to be in this space and to also share it with so many other wonderful people that share as an intense love and passion for God as I do.

It can be difficult being passionate about spirituality and attempting to relate to 'normies.' An attempt to relate to them can usually be perceived in a hostile way. People don't like their world view questioned. There's a few ways to go about this, really it just comes down to have social intelligence and being tactful in conversation. Try to relate on levels that normal people are capable. Talk about finding peace through mediation or yoga, or something on a level that's very comfortable within the social context you are in. That's what I do all the time and it works really well. Most people love the idea of dabbling in eastern spiritual philosophy's albeit in a very surface level way, but at least it's something. The other obvious way is to not talk about it, but embody your understanding and spiritual progress. You can spread love through silence too. Love is not some spiritual narrative you learned to shove down everyone's throat. Not every spiritual conversation has to be you barking at someone about how they don't actually exist. Lol, obviously a lot of people aren't going to respond well to that sort of stuff.

I wanted to learn a few things about kriya so I looked it up and thought I'd post the link for OP.

Playing an instrument can raise consciousness if done in a conscious way. Although it's far from the most direct way, artists expressing themselves to the fullest of their abilities are engaging in a form of spiritual practice. Music is a form of that. Raising your consciousness can be very dangerous in certain circumstances. Educate yourself and do everything as intelligently as you can to minimize risks.

Formulate your entire life around raising consciousness. Here's my general strategy. Meditation as a base, simple do-nothing. This can also be applied as mindfulness throughout the day. A form of yoga, kundalini or Kriya. Cold submersion and cold showers. Learn an instrument, for me it's acoustic guitar. Played mindfully and almost done as a form of love Meditation on the sound sensation itself. Healthy diet, mostly vegetarian. Avoid addictive behaviors and try to engage in only things you are passionate about. Obviously, psychedelics are something you can add as well. Hopefully this gives you an idea of what you can do. PS. The most direct answer to your question is that yoga is the quickest non-psychedelic answer to your question.

Nothingness is love you goobers. Contemplate what love really is and you'll eventually see that it is the collapse of ego or sense of separation.

Do you feel I was claiming to know Frank, or to have some sort of absolute certainty about his exact level of spiritual progress? I didn't imply either. I'm genuinely not fighting anything, I simply have a perspective that I am sharing based on my experience.
