Truth Addict

Lol! So, I just need to shut up and that's it. The thing that you're questioning me for doing is the very same thing that you're doing. There's no point of me doubting every belief here. I do that on a specific time on my own. I'm here to communicate ideas with you and others. And I'm not sure there are other ways to do that. I think I get what you're pointing me to. I also think you have to make a clear distinction between being skeptical and being practical.

You make it feel wrong to ask questions. I'm not after liberation. I'm after the Truth. They might possibly be the same ultimately, but I'm seeking one and not the other. And I don't mind if I suffer for it. Have a good time. Would you please point out to me some of the many basic assumptions that I left without noticing? I'm here to learn. Maybe I was bad at expressing what I meant. For you, you might be satisfied with not-knowing. For me, not-knowing and stopping right there is just sweeping it under the rug. I want to know. Hope we're on the same page.

Good point! That's why I'm here. There's nothing better to do.

I just love how your words motivate me Leo! ? I would love to do some psychedelics at any given chance. But from my place, it's far ahead. Maybe a couple of years when I get a handle on my financial situation, and when I move to another country. Of course I'm planning to do so. It's good to know the ways that won't work. I'm very grateful for you, and I admire your work. Right now, I'm going to go hardcore with the practices. Thank you ? Dude, I'm not a native speaker. Pardon me.

Thanks for your generous response. I lack concentration, I think you gave it to me directly: Concentration meditation. ?? Consider it a hobby! Digging into reality to find the Absolute. Not every act stems from suffering. Some stem from love. That's exactly what I'm asking about. What is the present moment existentially? I gotta go hardcore, I guess. Thank you. I don't mind not-knowing. But I don't get it. I'm trying to do that as much as I can. No, I have never been. I'm not fully satisfied with my answers. I acknowledge that. That's why I'm asking. There is something more to reality than I think I know. And I want to know. But by all means, thank you for your beautifully written post, and your innocent laughter. And moreover, thank you for your time.

Tired of chasing myself! Well, it isn't 100% peaceful. I'm not fully satisfied yet. Whoa! That was orgasmic! I like it. I think that's exactly what I needed to hear. Imma dig here. Thank you @Nahm ? I just am. Yes, I lack focus. And maybe I'm confusing some terms with others. That's why I'm asking. Thank you. But I don't know what the Truth is existentially. And I want to know.

Which is prior? Experience or the explanation of experience? In other words, which is first? The story itself or the telling of it?

Life is death. Your life depends on the death of others'.

I could give you infinite opinions and ideas, but that'll get you nowhere. The things you're asking about are not to be answered by someone else but yourself. It's just the way they are. I can only point you to that, not do it for you. I can't drink your water to quench your thirst.

@EternalForest There is no enlightenment. No heaven, no hell. What really is there is just the present moment which 'you' are experiencing. Remove all the labels that you've been taught to put on the present moment, even the labels: 'me' and 'present' and 'moment'. What is left? You are enlightened by default. Why do you want to believe enlightenment (heaven) to be something needs to be chased and obtained? Why do you want to believe that it's the highest ideal goal? You believe that there's enlightenment. Stop believing that. Stop taking things for granted. Everyone is lying to you, even myself as I'm saying this to you. Believing that there's enlightenment is a potential suffering. But on the other hand, suffering and not knowing how to break out of it sucks. So ask yourself: -Am I suffering? (probably the answer is yes). -Do I want to end it? (if yes, then take the actions required, look for solutions, and here is when you start your spiritual journey. If no, then go back to normal life as if nothing happened). "Enlightenment is the end of suffering." it's very important to remember that. All we can provide you with is just ideas, another layer of illusion on top of others, it's only you who can know. Don't give me your answers. Keep them for yourself.

@Matteo My advice for you is to search for beauty! Beauty can cure your depression, find out whatever you think is beautiful and look closely at it. Keep looking until it penetrates you and heal you from the inside. You will eventually see the beauty of your depression and it will stop looking like depression anymore, it will turn into Beauty! Good luck there, much love.

Yes, but you won't if you don't.

@kieranperez Think of it as an itch. You could easily ignore it and let it be however it is, or you could put your attention on it and let it distract you. Ask yourself; why am I making a big deal out of nothing significant? What happens if I let my saliva pour out of my mouth? I know it sounds silly, but have you ever considered that angle before?

@Bauer1977 More stories and nonsense. Another layer of illusion on top of others. What does my or others opinions matter? Why do you want us to give you an answer? I could tell you a lie, an affirmation or a negation to your thoughts. What does it mean to you? I think you should ask yourself more and others less.

Drop your theory and stories. What is death? What is life? You see the relativity there? The absolute is beyond life and death. So when you say ego death, you're talking relatively about something illusory. Soul death cannot possibly occur, because the Soul cannot die, because it is not even alive. It's just being.

Love doesn't understand mathematics. Love doesn't wait. It just happens when it happens. Do you love everyone and everything? Don't think, because you already know the answer.

Quoted from jed mckenna?

I don't know. But theoretically speaking, it could be infinite, never non being, so it didn't came from anywhere, because there's nowhere else to be but itself. Being is just what it is, it's being, it's itself. Everything else is an assumption (which is a part of being). P.S. Zero mystical experiences here.

I don't do shamanic breathing usually, but when I do, I do like two minutes, and then what happens is that nothing matters to me anymore for like one minute, then everything goes back to normal. It's nice exercise for relaxation, and raising your sensitivity.

@Roman Edouard Don't laugh at me. I used to believe in that same stuff that you read on YouTube for almost my whole life until only 3 months ago.

Your question is off topic, reasonable though. And I don't think Leo would answer such question, but here's my thoughts on it. Yes, most probably, Leo knew about it back then. As he said, it's a map. And now that you and most of his followers are familiar with its details, he can talk about it and refer to it easily.

Regarding your question: why is there something rather than nothing? I have a suggestion, that the question 'why' is reason, and being doesn't has to have reason.

@kieranperez I have had similar experience probably two months ago, it never happened again. I was going back home from my painting course (which included working with chemicals like oil). Then suddenly as I was walking, I went offline and my experience, life, self, or mind or whatever that is felt like something alien to me. I started wondering ; what the hell! What are these things doing? (I meant people in the markets and streets). I stopped identifying with my human body, it lasted for like 10-15 seconds and after that everything went back to normal right until now. I didn't know what happened and still don't, hopefully someone here could help.

Hello everyone! I'll be quick. I currently have 3 issues that I care about the most. 1) I still have a fear of death. 2) I still don't know my true nature. (removed A LOT of beliefs but still). 3) I don't have a life purpose. Could anyone help me with those issues? I think they're all linked together. Society is silly, adults are big children, people are crazy (myself not excluded), humanity is still at an infant level of growth, nothing is more important than anything else in Truth, 'I, You, Them, us' is a fiction, we don't know anything for sure (except for what enlightened people claim to know 'God' and I don't), and all of that is not bad. Lol! It's nice as I see. .. I want to know the ultimate Truth. Can't put labels on reality anymore, because I know they're not true, I don't mean in a dysfunctional way, but in a way of Truth seeking. .. Love you all, have a nice time. Thanks in advance.

And that's why saints and sages talk in riddles, they know most people are so fucking lazy to get their asses off and do the work. Leo is lying to you, take responsibility and deal with that by yourself, that's the point. DO NOT TRUST NOBODY.
