  1. It does not answer how existence came into being. It assumes the possibility of not-being but cannot provide proof for it. Science mostly cannot go beyond circular reasoning. Science is largely based on logic. Yet, logic has never been proven to be true. Everything is 'believed' in science, yet denied that anything is believed at all, and it claims that everything is data and that data is true. Science assumes causality, yet cannot provide proof for it. Yet, claims that it provides proof. Science claims to have solid tangible beyond-doubt proofs, while in fact a lot of them can be argued against, and many of them don't hold water.
  2. It's not yet possible to give a definitive answer. The two are very much entangled with each other. Reality and the brain seem to be two sides of the same coin. Can you point to awareness? Or more easily (you might think), can you point to concept and imagination?
  3. I would agree to some degree. Then again, I would say that women simply want a generous man, someone who is ready to give, more than what he receives. What value do millions have if you're not able to utilise them because you can't because your man is mean and stingy? I think that's how it works unconsciously.
  4. @Bill W Yes. That's what I meant but I didn't want to write all that I also meant that emotional mastery is how someone feels at their peak performance. And that it's not temporary but permanent. That's the difference between that and the ordinary 'peak performance'. Just wanted to make it come down from being an impossible goal to make it at least seem possible.
  5. Think about your peak performance. That's emotional mastery.
  6. It is that easy. It only requires being in the present moment, which, fortunately, is always the case. Thought = Meaning = Resistance. If you realise the futility of thought and meaning, then you must realise the futility of resistance. Then again, it's difficult as well. It took me nearly one month of no-self to see beyond the veil of meaning. But I'm telling you, you can do it right now. Or rather, you can let life do you. Nothing is bullshit. Clean your lenses
  7. Noooo! It means liberation! It means freedom! Stop listening to the thoughts and go live your life.
  8. We can't know, yet. Awareness is a metaphor.
  9. What does that mean?
  10. So what? Isn't that conclusion a lie as well?
  11. @eputkonen Heeeey! It's been a long while! I just wanted to thank you for your comments on my questions probably two years ago. They were very helpful. Also your videos are awesome! I've forgotten all about your channel. Gonna have to check it out. (I used to have a different account/username).
  12. He's talking about seeking pleasure before enlightenment. Not living in bliss after enlightenment. It's possible, though, to be at bliss without having to suffer. Suffering is optional. I don't agree at all that the ultimate way to live is by sitting still in meditation, at least not until many more thousands of years of delusion.
  13. @tsuki Look: That's actually awesome!
  14. @tsuki Sorry for your mind.
  15. That's why I say that the intellectual (masculine) enlightenment is based in fear. The feminine enlightenment knows no fear, it takes the suffering and turn it into creation. That's the nature of the female, if it isn't obvious!
  16. Nope. Nope, not what most people refer to. ... People usually refer to detachment as equal to enlightenment, but that's not true. Enlightenment is also fully engagement with the mundane world without being unconsciously tricked/trapped/attached/addicted to it. The pleasure that comes from this engagement can beat a samadhi. That would be enlightenment. (I don't need to say everytime that it's just my opinion).
  17. Because God would then become a 'thing', something that can be worshipped. Try to worship emptiness/nothingness, you will always fail. You are free, so be free. That's the whole point of religion.
  18. Probably talk about it with someone whom you trust and who knows how to drive. That'll do it.
  19. Yes! @mandyjw Interesting topic. Thank you for bringing it up. A lot of people think that enlightenment is only about thoughts (masculine). They tend to forget the importance of the feminine, which is emotions. Each of these must be worked out and carved very carefully or we will become Zen-devils.
  20. How would your worst nightmares be like? Hell and paradise are a matter of luck. You can't go by your will to paradise, and you can't force escape hell.
  21. @tsuki The model you're proposing cannot work without thought, i.e. assuming duality beforehand. In order to know what knowledge is, a thought of separation must arise, and without duality there's no knowledge. The knowledge is being, the thoughts-stories are not imagined, i.e. there's no image that one would stop the world and then create, the image is the world. P.S. It took me this long to reply because the language you used was difficult for me to comprehend.
  22. How to separate speech from consciousness without thought? I don't. I was being sarcastic.
  23. I strongly suggest that you watch Leo's most recent videos on Truth, Love, and fear. What seems to be the case for you is that you're being paralysed by overthinking, and overthinking is either a product of fear or an addiction (which started by fear). Examine your case very carefully and see what it is and act accordingly. You need to let more love flow in your life. Your life seems to be lacking Love. In summary, you can think of yourself right now as someone exactly in the middle of their path. The path starts with complete identification with everything, and ends exactly right in the same place but with way more consciousness. The middle would be the complete dis-identification phase that you're describing. And the ultimate solution for that is Love. I love you ❤️
