Actually, that's exactly what it means. If you are robbing a bank with a loaded gun everyone knows there is high probability of shots fired and people dying. Intention is not merely about wanting to kill a person. Intention is a broader notion. You can't just rob a bank, shoot the teller, and then tell the judge, "But I didn't intent to kill her." That won't fly. -

No. A bank robber is committing a crime. A police officer arresting a suspect is doing his job -- although he can do it recklessly. Have you ever thought about how difficult it is to arrest assholes all day long for years on end? Some of those people are on drugs, psychopaths, have mental issues, carry disease, will bite you, will try to kick you in the nuts, will have a hidden knife or a gun, etc. When a cop is arresting someone he can't assume the person is some sweetheart. Cops have to make dozens of arrests on a weekly basis. Try peacefully arresting a belligerent drunk person. I think he just under-estimated how quickly Floyd could die from that choke hold. 8 minutes seems like a long time but then again, 8 minutes can pass very quickly while your mind is distracted by other things. Maybe another person wouldn't have died under that same choke hold because they had better breathing. It can be difficult to gauge how much pressure to apply to which person. -

The prosecutor is probably under a lot of political pressure. Just because he calls for it doesn't make it right. I'm no lawyer but Floyd's death looks unintentional to me. Whatever degree that is, is what it is. This should not be difficult for the judge to decide and in the end they're gonna have to prove it beyond reasonable doubt -- which isn't easy to do. My larger point what that this is not execution or terrorism or lynching. That would be 1st degree murder. And that's not going to fly in any courtroom. Police killing someone unintentionally during arrest is not an execution -- tragic though it is. -

Your logic sounds good, but your current experience is not Heaven. If you think this here is heaven, wait till you see the real deal. You ain't in Heaven because you're too unconscious for Infinite Love. You might protest that you ARE conscious. But you are not. And the reason I know that is because you are still alive. The only reason you are alive is because you're not Infinitely Conscious. -

Actually that's your projection and judgment. It was not an execution, it was an example of excessive force and carelessness. These are very different things. Terrorists are people who terrorize others for a political agenda. The police in Floyd's case are not terrorists unless we find out they are part of the KKK or some ideology like that. They were just police doing business as usual in that part of town, dealing with a suspicious guy who was not fully cooperating with them. And they used excessive force. I highly doubt their intention was to kill Floyd. If that was their intention they wouldn't have done it out in public like that. 3rd degree murder seems like the proper charge here. People who are calling for a higher charge are not being objective, they are seeking to exact revenge and a political agenda. You don't see a reason because you don't want to see one. The real political issue here is changing "business as usual", which is an issue of police training and culture. -

People who are less pure, obviously. Psychopathic people. People with serious shadow issues. People who lack love. Mentally unstable people. Etc. The desire to terrorize people is a stantic quality which exists at low levels of consciousness or corrupted levels of higher consciousness. -
Actually, yes, game development is horribly male dominated and white dominated. I was a bit shocked how little diversity existed at my game studio. Of course the major reason for this is that feminine females do not play hardcore games much. Try to find a hot female who is also a hardcore gamer. Very rare. I find that the more feminine a woman is the less she cares about hardcore gaming.

No, I am too pure to ever do such a thing. -

They don't exist until your consciousness expands to include them. If you a busy imagining that you're a kangaroo, that's what you are. If you expand your consciousness to become Cosmic, then that's what you are. And if you become Infinitely Conscious, you will become an undifferentiated singularity of pure Love that includes inside itself everything and nothing. You are always God, you are the only being, but your experience can be limited in any number of ways due to fear of your own self. You dream up other beings so make yourself feel comfortable and at ease. Otherwise you'd be too afraid. The other beings are necessary parts of your dream to baby you into maturity and self-ownership. In the same way that a baby needs a mother to make it feel secure. Of course the baby is imagining the mother, otherwise it would freak the fuck out. The baby needs to not know that its mother is imaginary until such time that the baby matures enough to be able to take care of itself without a mother. God is babying you because you can't handle God's Love. You're terrified of it. So God has to treat you with illusions so you don't become a psychopath. -
Ignore all the noise, focus on your life purpose, being a creator, and doing your spiritual work. That's it. Whatever happens, happens. No point worrying about it.

Nonsense. Civilization will not collapse from a few degrees hotter climate. Some ecosystems may die, yes. But new ones will emerge. Scientists lack vision.

Of course I think it depends on how willing you are to completely surrender. If you are fully ripe, you will go Infinite Love Forever. If you are too scared, you will probably reincarnate as a kangaroo You can and I have. My life has been dramatically transformed in ways that no sober human can understand. That's exactly what I am doing. But it takes time. There is much to learn and much purification is required. This means years of integration wrork. It's no different than how yoga works. Only much more powerful. -

"Final line" is said relative to the human way of existence. Of course there is no final line, death in a endless falling in Love with yourself which has no bottom. But you ain't a human at that point. Final line here means the end of being human. -
People interact with God in different ways. All of my experiences are filled with profound insight, but of course the experience itself is transformational beyond any insight that can be articulated. But for me, UNDERSTANDING is the core of Awakening. You cannot really awaken without understanding. Understanding is the key. Experience alone is not enough. You must understand yourself/God totally. God IS infinite understanding.

Those are probably exaggerations, but not by much, and it wouldn't surprise me. -

No, this is false. Bufotenin is not created in the body if you do pure 5-MeO-DMT. You will only get Bufo from the toad. Which is why toad is inferior to synthetic. But I also read that when the toad venom is vaped, the bufotenin is burned off. So in practice there seems to be little difference. If you plugged toad venom, that's when you'd get the bufotenin straight into your brain, which is probably not a good idea. -

The point is Love. Love cannot be coerced. Love cannot be made into a should or a must. Love is something you do willingly. You do not become Good by trying to follow shoulds, you become Good by becoming conscious enough that you see Goodness as the only thing that will make you happy. And then you act out of Goodness even when others are imaginary. You can be Good to imaginary people. In fact, you imagine all people so that you can share your Goodness with them! The point is to spread Goodness and Love to as many living beings as possible. That's what God is doing. It's the only thing God desires to do. God shares its love by imagining an infinite number of living beings and then killing them so that they merge back into God. This cycle is Eternal. This cycle is what God is. This cycle is Love made manifest. -

No, you can understand where death leads and the true nature of reality without yet fully going there. You can get a preview, so to speak. In the same way that you can get a sense of what will happen to you if you fly a rocket ship into the sun. As you approach closer and closer you will become hotter and hotter until it is perfectly clear that if you go any further you will burn up and turn into the sun. You can always turn back and stay at a comfortable distance, or you can go all the way in. Up to you. -

Of course via Love, but still a limited form of it. Maybe I won't be here soon. -
Leo Gura replied to Chumbimba's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Chumbimba Seeing how workshops & retreats are conducted helps with doing your own solo retreat. I would say that workshops and retreated organized for you by a leader are for newbie and intermediate people. Solo retreats are for advanced people. -
Leo Gura replied to DivineSoda's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
This question is misleading because "physical death" is imaginary. But what I'm talking about means you will no longer be a part of this material universe which you are presently dreaming up. You will let go of this dream. Humans usually call this "physical death". But actually it's LOVE! Any human who is in this material universe is not fully awake by definition. If they were, they wouldn't be here. -

I told you to not confuse the lower death drive with the higher death drive. I do care that people don't commit suicide. Which is why I always say, don't harm the body. Suicide is no done out of consciousness and love, it is done out of fear and suffering. I am only talking about actions taken out of the highest consciousness and love.
