Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

@Davino thats a powerful & beautiful description. 

I had a talk with my mom the other day about what spirituality/metaphysics is about (& why it interests me) and I tried explaining it was about removing the conceptual overlay of thoughts/ideas onto reality, and seeing the present moment as ‘mystical’ & ‘beautiful’.

I tried showing her a plant, and explaining it’s about ‘experiencing’ the plant and removing the conceptual ‘plant’ overlay.

She was confused and said that’s not very practical, “pull up that plant, it’s weeds you need to remove from the garden”. 

That reminds me of Leo’s recent ‘Abyss’ post:

The mom sitting there in her physical/pragmatic reality, while the child is looking at reality with awe and mystique. Some people ‘get it’ and understand that consciousness has deeper layers, while some (most) people aren’t interested. They’re focused on pragmatism.

And it is tough to communicate your interest in consciousness/now/presence to someone who doesn’t get it—they would need a radical recontextualization of their reality to understand it.

Bro, let your mom alone. Unless she ingest a big dose of psycadelics she probably will not get it. My mom tried Ayahuasca. I was sitted next to her in the session, and still she was not able to grasp what I was able. I nothing wrong with her, she simple have her own path amd have her on issues to deal with and I decided to let her be, and not annoy her with my Reality Deconstruction stuff. This work as far as I can see is to be done by me. Others do as they can in their own pace.

Az (Aaron) was a year above me at one of the schools I went to. About 15 of us went on a camping trip together once, I doubt he would remember me though. Haha. Small world. Cairns is a great city to visit for natural adventures in Australia, got to come in winter though, the coral reefs are clearer and the deadly jellyfish migrate away for great fishing, snorkelling and diving adventures.

Are you a fellow aussie?

I have so much gratitude for being born and raised here! I love the outback. I love the bush - I have always ensured I live close to the Yarra river/Merri creek. The heartbeat of Melbourne. 

Every day I see Galahs, Cockatoos (Sulphur and MajorM), Owls... sometimes Platypus and wallabies. Snakes in the summer. And I live inner city! 

I often read the horror of what actualizers in the USA live with -  and I feel so lucky <3

Are you serious or are you kidding. If you're joking, then OK; if you're serious, what do you mean. I looked the movie up on YT and the full movie was on there and YT didn't block me from sharing it. Reported me for what? If it's something reportable, obviously I'm not aware of it or I wouldn't have done it...geesh.

The Greenland movie was average, but after it ended YT recommended an animation called Blue Eye Samurai Hammerscale that was great.

Atheism ( for me ) means rejecting religion, not being affiliated to any religion, not operating on belief, not believing that God is a old human in the sky, not believing that God is a magic like entity that controls the universe via his own wills and desires etc. By this definition @Leo Gura, you are an atheist too! If the US government would do a census to see how many percents there are Christians, Muslims etc , you would be put in the atheist category because you don't follow any religion. So why so much shit being thrown at the atheists? After all being an atheist is by far better than being a religious fundamentalist!

Because their worldview makes it impossible for them to realize God.

Yeah, currently living in the Lockyer Valley region. My extended family are all farmers, so I've always lived close to nature. I couldn't stand Vegas when I visited, but the surrounding deserts there were breathtaking. Also, I feel that Australia's reputation for deadly animals is a bit overhyped. Statistically, cows are the most lethal animals in the country.

There is no shortage of great spots to visit here. Here is a popular rope swing I've been to, among many other lesser-known spots.
 

Brisvegas ftw!
