Can't speak for all the information given, but I've come across this stuff quite a bit. It really is a radical trip to realize how different human lives can be. 

 

I've got a few on the ground documentaries on this. All are very interesting, but get ready to be depressed if you're still a little naive to how dark humanity can get.

 

Follows U.S. troops trying to train Afghani soldiers. Really reveals how it's a hopeless nightmare and absolute waste of resources.

 

 

On the chai boys of Afghanistan.. basically children groomed, turned into sexualized entertainers, and ultimately raped by powerful men who basically own them. Follows a few through their work with a front row seat to all the corruption.

What's the bias? 

I'm also not following what you mean about the observer effect and consciousness. The flaw of what? Science?

Leo did say that psychic abilities exist. Very plainly actually. 

Disregarding data to suit some theory is a bias (your last 2 points in the original reply are giving 2 examples illustrating the same point).

Oh, regarding the observer effect? Yes upon re-reading my point was a bit rushed and ended up backwards (squeezing replies in while at work >.>) I was attempting to elaborate on the point that science cannot explain the observer effect. That it (science) hasn't yet proven consciousness, but many people take it as so - hence so many people extrapolating to the woo-woo. And that there are simply some things science cannot deal with. Paranormal phenomena appears to be outside its scope.

Oh and he did? Well there you go! My bad recalling and not checking.

But if you believed in psychic abilities... they would exist, in your reality

@Puer Aeternus Thank you for sharing this documentary 

[Puer Aeternus]

@LoneWonderer Of course! I've got plenty more related ones if you'd ever like to dive into the dark and depraved side of humans.

@Puer Aeternus Thank you! Mind sharing more? Very interesting.

Sure! You want related to Afghanistan or just stuff showing off how deep the depraved, shadow side of humanity can go?

All sounds very interesting! Maybe it could even become a full thread if it aligns with the forum's guidelines?

I just love this.

You writing keeps getting better.

It frustrates me that intelligent people dont get this 'simple' fact.

And is even worse when they use the authority bias claiming 'ScIeNcE'. Add that to group think and y

Im not smarter than a phd but I got it reading The power of now, the 1st spiritual book I've red, when Tolle says:
''When you look at a tree, dont think of the word tree, dont put any labels on it. You look at it, at its essence''.
And then just went deeper and deeper from that realization.

The problem with scientists, rationalists and high IQ people is that they need to make it complicated. It cant be so simple, they think.

About the Quote # 109 in the Blog. About Thinking being a subset. I realized in many instances that what Leo say is similar to what Huang Po, the zen master say. 

"If you wish to understand, know that a sudden comprehension comes when the mind has been purged of all the clutter of conceptual and discriminatory thought-activity. Those who seek the truth by means of intellect and learning only get further and further away from it. Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the Gate.

Huang Po, The Zen Teaching of Huang Po: On the Transmission of Mind

I also dont know where Huang Po say it but he say something like: 

Unless you understand the relationship of Self and Other, you will be far from truth as the Heaven is from Earth.

 

[Leo Gura]

@Rafael Thundercat Good quote.

The only wrinkle is that thought does work if one is in a higher state of consciousness. And thought is still needed to make sense of Infinity.

Awakening is the knowledge that a tree is the same as a human being, both meaningless illusions giving the absolute an opening to see other forms of itself. Our problem is to believe one thing friend and one thing foe. Everything is an opportunity to see the absolute shining and glorious by looking beyond its form.

Is anyone here looking for a friend?

Quote

Anything in this world you believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you, and will do so. Not because it has any power to hurt you, but just because you have denied it is but an illusion, and have assigned it reality. And yes it is real for you. It is not nothing right? So through its perceived reality you have launched yourself into all the world of vast illusions. The belief in separation, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death, now stays with you. For no one can make one illusion real, and manage to escape all the rest. For who can choose to keep the ones that he prefers, and find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can believe illusions are the same, and still maintain that even one is superior?

Lead not your little life in solitude, with one illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship worthy of God's Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet God has provided him with a better Friend, in Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you think is your friend obscures His grace and majesty from you, and keeps His friendship and forgiveness from your welcoming embrace. Without Him you are truly friendless. Seek not another friend to take His place. There is no other friend. What God appointed has no substitute, for what illusion could ever replace the truth?

Who dwells with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is not the Will of God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that God appointed for your Friend, if you but realized its emptiness has left yours empty and unoccupied? Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him Whom God has called your Friend. And it is He Who is your only Friend in truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to Whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He will place them on your throne, when you make room for Him on His.

Using the tools that have been successful in getting data in the physical world to gain knowledge about the nonphysical world and paranormal phenomena is absurd. You need subjectivity (first person experience to tackle this. The tools of phenomenology, meditation, mysticism etc to tackle this issues. Your intuitive side needs to be developed. A lot of you guys have been studying Leo's videos for years but you don't understand that you are literally God's temple, and you can tap answers from within you. You can know more than a lot of scientists that have locked themselves in the limiting paradigm of materialistic science and are too chicken to be visionary scientists.

I knew from a young age how brutal and evil mankind is. That's why I will forever hate this species as a whole. Sometimes I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that mankind can be so overwhelmingly evil. Due to my life experience, today I can't ever be relaxed around a human! I am always expecting from humans to viciously attack me, to steal from me if I lose my focus for even a split second. Since I was a child I live my life like a soldier on front line patrol. Always being prepared to defend myself and mindful of any humans that are in proximity. Recently I became more aware of the good humans that are friendly to me but in general I am always fist clenched and fight ready when around humans. I wish I could relax around people but I've seen too much evil coming from humans to ever let my guard down ever again.

This sounds very bad. You have fallen into a trap and don't even know it.

Your dominant beliefs, thoughts, and feelings are very clear: you believe that humans are evil and will harm you. Yes, humans are generally selfish and will hurt others if it benefits them. But the problem here isn’t whether this belief is true; it’s the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is real. This Law doesn’t care whether your belief is true or false; rather, it simply reflects and amplifies your internal world.

Do a quick life review. Have you encountered any people, situations, or events that match, prove, or amplify your beliefs and assumptions about how evil humans are? We live in the same world and interact with humans, but each of us encounters different types of people, events, and situations in our vicinity. It's about personality and childhood programming. But it's also about the Law of Attraction. Our external world is a reflection of our internal world. The universe orchestrates people, events, and situations to match our dominant beliefs, assumptions, thoughts, and emotions.

I have experienced the Law of Attraction many times in my life. So, this is not speculation. It’s more than just the idea that your personality affects how you navigate the world and interact with people. I have recently realized that the universe literally orchestrates who, when, how, and what exists in our vicinity. This is the reason why many people work very hard and smart for years but still struggle to succeed, while others work relatively less and may not be as skilled but still manage to succeed.

Yes, humans can be selfish, stupid, and even evil. However, these traits should not define the focus of your internal world. Instead, concentrate on positivity. It’s also true that many humans are decent and capable of doing good. You, too, may have selfish tendencies, but you are equally capable of goodness—as if you were an angel.

Consider creating an affirmation such as, “My vicinity is filled with good-hearted people,” or “I have good-hearted friends.” If you repeat this affirmation several times every day with the intention of internalizing it, you will begin to experience an energetic shift. It may be subtle at first, but it is there. Then, the universe will match, confirm, or amplify that internalized motto. What I just explained can change your life for the better.

My pleasure. 

I think I need to clarify that being positive doesn’t mean abandoning truth. Many Law of Attraction enthusiasts believe that you should stay completely positive and ignore your current situation or reality. For example, when they try to manifest wealth, they attempt to behave exactly as they perceive a rich person would: never worrying about money, spending extravagantly on travels and purchases, and donating to charities. This approach is foolish! No wonder they often end up even more broke than before they started their manifestation work. 

Positivity and truth should blend into 1 SuperMindset. In you case, you can keep the axe in your house and stay a bit cautious about strangers. It's acknowledging the fact that humans can indeed be malicious and dangerous. But positivity means that your internal world embodies the idea that despite this ugly truth, you stay positive and believe that humans can also be good. And you instruct the universe via your subconscious mind that you are surrounded by good-hearted people to reinforce this belief and desire. This is not an extreme demand because it's true that humans can also be decent and capable of doing good.

I combined my life experiences, Leo's work, Goddard's work, The Kybalion, The Law of Attraction, Carl Jung, etc., to generate the insights I shared with you. I have read more than 20 books and lectures by Goddard. Here's a link to all his books and lectures. There are too many; it might take a few years to complete: https://coolwisdombooks.com/neville-lectures-index/
