As someone who actually studies physics, I strongly advise not to use your 3rd grade level understanding of the subject to justify your worldview on law of attraction or nonduality for example. I see this a lot with spiritual people. Anyway, carry on. 😉

He's a fucking pedophile rapist vampire and a terrorist. He needs to get canceled by the secret service now!

Can't wait till I'm an awakened being and no longer innocent like you😇

Bahahahahahaha You're funny as fuck dude😂😂☠️☠️

You know, Leo's narratives on how neo-advaita is incomplete or wrong or whatever has really shaded my thinking on these topics and the way I read your posts. Perhaps I need to back to the roots. All these isms and unconscious adopting of his "higher" or "more advanced" ideas has casted a sort of superiority complex in me with regards to spirituality. I'm recently finding that these are sneaky games my mind is playing from years of regurgitating the ideas of others who I deem as more knowledgeable. Basically, I find that your posts indeed have deep merits and foundational pieces that I previously couldn't recognizing because of the conditioning described. Think I need to go back to basics. The hardcore psychedelics and the existential loneliness stuff can come later. My cup is too full. Need to empty it. Maybe I am more innocent than I thought. It's just all too deceptive really.

Funny/interesting how people like Ramana Maharshi understand reality more than any PhD academic from MIT or Caltech. I used to praise intellectuals from elite institutions so much. Now it's clear how clueless they are... They get so lost in the content of things (subatomic interactions, computation, information, etc.). They don't really go into the heart of the matter: Why existence? Why anything? Why something? Why perspective? Why awareness/consciousness/knowingness? It's like, HELLO! Why do you even exist?? They think they're smart, making progress, headed towards some grand finale understanding. "Just a couple thousand more scientific papers and we'll finally reach it!" It all goes full circle I suppose. Counterintuitive.

Were you in a bad mood or something when you wrote this lol?

Believe me, I’m with you. I’m currently doing a degree in neuroscience and I have absolutely no more desire in it anymore. My fantasies and ideas of what this career would be like is far from how it really is. At this point, I’m forcing myself to graduate just so I can say I have a degree and don’t seem like a complete failure and loser to family and friends. I think the solution is to really cut through your ego’s bullshit and take radical action. Why don’t you join me? Take a break from this forum and the other forum. Remodel your routine slowly, step by step. Maybe wake up earlier, spend less time browsing online, exercise more, etc. It doesn’t have to be a heroic leap where you cut off everything and try to change your entire life. But it means really being honest and and seeing through your ego’s elaborate ways of keeping you locked in your dysfunctional cycles. Consider referring to SOURCE materials. This means going learning DIRECTLY from actual credentialed teachers rather than reading countless vague sentences/paragraphs from stranger forum users who’s level of experience/expertise is unclear. And then taking ACTION from those source teachings. There is no secret here. Deep inside, you know why you struggle and your patterns repeat themselves and you receive little to no results. Also, contemplate how fucking awesome it’ll be to FINALLY get your survival and financial affairs situated such that you can finally access deep states of consciousness and comprehend higher teachings without petty anxieties getting in the way. You gotta take total ownership of your thoughts and actions. I’m personally a work in progress but I have a vision for myself and I’m at a place where I see through a lot of my own bullshit. I mean, this is really the only way. What’s the alternative? The alternative is being stuck and mentally masturbating your way through life as hours, days, months fly by with no results. Just my two cents. Take care

Lol, I’m 26 too and I understand where you’re coming from. fortunately for me though, I don’t share nearly the same degree of fearfulness over this topic as you. I think you gotta reframe your attitude on this and keep your attention/focus away from the bogus terrible consequences your mind thinks will happen with age. Think about how awesome it’ll be to be in your 30’s and to have a stable source of financial income such that you’re no longer overly concerned with petty survivor affairs. Think about how much more wise, detached, and mature you’ll be in the following decades and how life will be more at ease than the current neurotic ways you live now. Look forward to communing with similar-aged people with similar levels of wisdom and how you’ll all laugh at your previous struggles and all the petty fears you had that seem ridiculous to you now. Also, on a side note, I can’t help but mention that I see you frequently posting on both forums; rehashing your problems over and over and asking the same types of questions… Not to derail this post but I kindly ask: are you taking action on the theory you KNOW you have? For example, are you approaching women/socializing more like Leo comprehensively detailed in his laid series? Are you daily meditating and focusing on the root of your addictions such as the cigarette problem you stressed several times? Are you spending more time focusing on career, life plans, rewiring your mind, etc. than time spent dicking around in forums and receiving vague spiritual responses that are unhelpful and you probably already predicted? Don’t mean to get personal or anything, I just see some of your behaviors in me so I couldn’t help but talk to ‘myself’. “You don’t even fear the right things” -Leo

To be honest, I've come to the conclusion that this fluffy spiritual LOA shit is just pure wishful thinking for weak lazy people who are in denial about reality. I mean all this nonsense has caused me more suffering than any kind of liberation or happiness because of the load of false hope, fantasies, and idealizations that things are "just gonna happen". At this point, I think I'll just return to the default model of life and reality. You know: things are completely out of my control, life is a brute force process that requires immense will and hard work, survival is brutal and real, some people have it better than others, etc. etc. At least I'll save myself the suffering of feeling absolutely dumb, defeated, lied to, and humiliated when months and years go by and I can't manifest simple fucking shit like a fucking tennis ball or receiving a text message from someone I know. I've been at it for at least 3 years now with very little results. Absolutely nothing I imagined to be true in my mind has come to pass in my reality. At the most, I experienced events and circumstances that appear to be related to my desire, but never the actual thing. FUCK this stupid immature fucking horseshit denialist ideology. I give up.

Curious, what country you live in? Pakistan or something?

It’s just one date dude. It happens to literally every guy. Just learn from it and move on

How do you suggest one addresses the ‘root discord’ and permanently — or at least significantly in the long term — heal one’s depression/anxiety?

Perhaps depression isn't necessarily a chemical problem... 🤔

The theory of serotonin or other biochemical imbalances being the cause of depression has been hugely shattered by a new “umbrella” study from UCL. Apparently there’s no empirical link between specific biochemical levels in one’s brain and depression. The problem is far more complex than a single neurotransmitter’s concentrations being responsible for it. We blindly worship SSRI’s on the basis of authority. The lit review also included a double-blind placebo study that showed how the effects of SSRI’s are largely placebos. There’s much to say about this. What are the implications regarding pharmaceutical capitalism, mental health, the psychology of individual and collective authority, the brain, the nature of emotions, science, medicine, etc.?

With all due love, just wanna say thank you for reminding me to log the fuck off of forums in general and stop wasting a sinful amount of time dicking around with pointless arguments with strangers and shit, LOL.

If this was my forum, I’d lock all solipsism threads. Find out for yourself what’s true. It’s the only way.

Sweet, thanks for the resources!

I can relate to your sentiment regarding dealing with software technicalities versus physically playing an instruments. For me though, I plan to record music.

Amazing advice! Thanks for sharing these resources. Yes, I heard of those VSTs you mentioned. For now I guess I’ll be sticking to stock stuff and work my way to Omnisphere and other VSTs. I’ll be referring back to your post often. Can’t wait to make a first legit track. Curious: if you don’t mind sharing, what genre music do you produce and is music your career?

Thanks a lot, this is solid. I will be taking heed to your tips and experience. You mentioned that you spent up to 3 hours a day working on the DAW. That’s quite a commitment and I’m glad to hear you ended up getting past the phase of learning the technicalities such that your mental templates translate to the software. That’s a good place to be and I really hope to be there. I’m curious though, what motivated you to make such a commitment to music production? Was it pure passion? Was it a part-time/full-time business? Also, did you know music theory or have any musical experience before starting production?

Apparently Pink Floyd is back

Personally I eagerly await for a comprehensive LOA/conscious creating vid explaining the process, dream-board, common mishaps, what have you.

Consciousness is the solution to the problem of existence.

I’m very interested in starting music production. I have a small background in music but I don’t know music theory. I plan to use a DAW (Logic Pro X in particular) for making hip hop tracks. I was wondering if anyone has experience with Logic Pro or whatever DAW and could share any general advice, good courses (for both music theory and Logic Pro), quality resources for sound plug-ins and kits, etc. This would be greatly appreciated. Ofc I’m doing my own research on all this but insights from the experienced are highly valued. Thanks!
