Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

I would say evil is deliberately and knowingly harming a life whereas stupidity is unknowingly, ignorantly harming life. Many voters elect evil out of stupidity, but they aren’t near the same level of evil as those in power.

[Leo Gura]

Look at Elon Musk. The evil he causes isn't intentional, it's just his juvenile worldview.

Evil people think they are doing good.

I'm hearing a lot about developing an unbiased mind, but I have never met anyone who has actually achieved this.

[Thought Art]

Recently, I’ve really been contemplating if it is possible for me to be truly good? I am naturally selfish, even if I have higher consideration of others generally, not always. 
 

When I think about my own ecological impact, my own selfishness in how I spent my money, and what consumes my thinking. I am biased and selfish, prone to self deception.

I don’t know if I can be truly good. Perhaps, I can strive to be less evil. 

I don’t know if this matters anymore either. It seems the corruption, evil, ignorance and lack of development of the planet is hurting us ecologically. I don’t see a future where we correct course.

That's one of the smartest things I heard him say.

@Leo Gura I remember you trashing the shorts medium a long time ago saying you had no plans to use it but you are now making a lot of posts based on IG reels. Why the flip?

I'm curious about the smartest things I've heard you say.

That's too long to list.

It is easier to list the stupid things I say.

The internet has changed a lot.

Also, I don't mind the shorts format on platforms that are intended for it. YouTube is not designed for shorts. The shorts on Instagram are way better than on YouTube.

@Leo Gura with Recognition you mean that Realizing God is Remembering, since God need to forget its Godness and Sleepwalk as Human?

Basicaly if I can look into the Mirror and see God there Full blow is Done? I have sit under psychedelic effect in front of the mirror many times. Is not easy. 

Also had lucid dreamed looking into my own face in a mirror in the dream.

You don't literally need to look in a mirror to recognize God. The mirror is just a good example of physical self-reflection. But you can recognize God just staring at a wall or a sunset.

Don't get fixated on the mirror.

Although, of course, you could meditate while looking in a mirror. Your body is God but God is not limited to the body, God is the entire visual field.

I thought you said god was just doing an hallucination or something like that.

The visual field is God's hallucination.

But God IS its Creation.

God is formlessness AND form.

The hallucination/dream IS God.
