That is the paradox of most conservatives. They judge others for being victims but then they act like victims themselves without realizing it. It takes great self-awareness to realize when you are guilty of the very thing you judge others for Well, for starters, you could tone down the hateful and judgmental tone. It's possible to rebut someone's false worldview with compassion and detachment. Without making it personal. Without totally rejecting him.

Serious success requires lots of failure, which usually requires lots of work. You're going to fail a lot before your get that sale. The secret is to fail more, fail faster. -

What if Trump is God? -
Yes, you are unwittingly rejecting and demonizing your own self because your consciousness is not yet high enough to realize that JP is you.
-
JP is a devil if you understand what devil really means: an ego-self who is disconnected from God.
-
Of course. Self-deception applies to everyone. But some of us are less self-deceived than others.
-
No You may be conscious enough to see that JP shows physical signs of neurosis, but that doesn't mean he is conscious of that. Don't forget, it's very easy to see the self-deceptions of others but much harder to see one's own. So while you can easily see JP's self-deceptions, he can't see them so easily. Deep down JP believes the things he says are not just true, but so true as to be highly important to communicate to mankind. What he says is relatively true from his POV. From your POV you can see obvious limitations of his worldview. And from my POV I see the obvious limitations of your worldview.

A) I don't think that JP is being deliberately dishonest or manipulative. He's a true-believer in his ways of seeing the world. He's not dishonest, he's just stuck in self-deception and doesn't see a clear way out. This is a rather sad state of affairs which should spark some compassion in you. I actually find JP quite honest. It's one of his better qualities. He's honest about his limitations and doubts where most people wouldn't be. Of course being honest does not automatically solve the problem of self-deception. There are many things he's simply not conscious of. B) Even if he was dishonest and manipulative as you project he is -- even if he was the biggest devil on the planet -- he is still you. So you're still judging and hating yourself. Yes, millions of people can be misled. And your job is accept, forgive, understand, and love that because that is Truth/Reality/God/You. You can't hate JP for being JP any more than you can hate a kangaroo for being a kangaroo. What else would it be?

The blind love to follow the blind. But don't forget, Jordan Peterson is you. So have compassion for his ignorance and confusion. It is also your ignorance and confusion. The best way to see JP is as a lost and abused little boy in need of a hug from you. Railing against JP is like shooting fish in a barrel and it only exacerbates the problem. He's a sneaky little devil, but so are you. So you have a lot in common Don't fuck JP, love JP.

Lazar seems credible. Of course it's just an assumption. We don't really know. It would be so fucking cool if his story was true. -

Of course. How else could it be? The map is not the territory. -

Hard work is very important to success. But so is smart work. You gotta work in the right ways, not picking strawberries. Lots of people work hard but not smart, so they stay poor. -

Not from what I have glimpsed. There is no form in the Godhead. Seems like form COULD appear if it wanted to, but it might not want to at some point. -
Leo Gura replied to Christer's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Well, considering he invented his scale, it would be silly to say he's not 1000 since he's using himself to calibrate the scale. So it's true by definition. The question is, what's beyond 1000? -

@The observer Nonduality includes duality within it. It's not a function of time. Consciousness can be totally omniscient or not, or anything in between. Consciousness can change. It's not simply a monotone thing. You could be sleeping or you could be awake, and much more. Consciousness can take on an infinite number of different states. Like a TV screen. -

Of course. And yet, the highest form of love is a totally formless singularity. -
Leo Gura replied to The observer's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
It's still limited as long as there is form. When you a dreaming of being a human, this excludes the dream of being a kangaroo, a rabbit, a tree, etc. Consciousness is limited to that limited dream. Maybe. But maybe now I'm bored of the limited world. -
Leo Gura replied to The observer's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Yes, all of life is imagination. Nothing is stopping God from imagining all sorts of lives. That's silly. You can improve yourself and others will benefit from it. There are many win-win situations. Life is not a zero-sum game. Yes, the body is appearing in you. But this appearance is a certain state of consciousness with certain limitations. You experience being a human but not a kangaroo, etc. Yes, the world is an expression of infinite love, and yet there are deeper levels of infinite love in which there is no world at all because the world is still too limited for the highest levels of infinite love. The human dream is fundamentally limiting. -

Oneness Consciousness becomes more or less conscious, like how light can get brighter and brighter. -
Leo Gura replied to Christer's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
From my personal experience, there are levels of awakening way beyond 1000. But don't expect Ramaji to admit that. You can't know it until you've been there. But maybe I'm wrong. How would you know? How do you know my consciousness isn't corrupted and that I'm not telling you some bullshit? -

No, I'm not going to get into my full medical history here. Focus on how fasting works for you. -
Leo Gura replied to Jahmaine's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
No Consciousness is capable of being infinitely self-aware or not, and an infinite number of degrees in between those two. Wherever you are, you're always at some level. You are closer to zero consciousness than infinity right now. -

If Bob Lazar is to be believed, US government tries to reverse-engineer the UFO tech but it's so advanced they are not able to. Imagine an ancient Roman trying to reverse engineer a Tesla. Nadda. -

DMT will be your best bet. High dose mushrooms is gnarly stuff. Be very careful with that. Mushrooms can be hardest to handle at high doses. -
Leo Gura replied to Jahmaine's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Except there are many different levels of consciousness. There is an extraordinary range. Has nothing to do with specialness. There are some markers, although they can only be really understood once one has awakened pretty deeply. Even that is tricky because people understand love in different ways. But I generally agree that Love is a very distinctive level of awakening which many lack. It's also possible they don't talk about it so that you can discover it on your own because love can be a very misleading notion for the ego-mind. Talking about love makes people think love is a personal feeling or something like that.
