You should disclose such fantasies as your fantasies. -

First of all, we have little idea of what techniques Jesus taught. Many of them may have been lost to history. Secondly, the techiques are not important as long as one reaches nondual consciousness. Whatever works is fine. I support any technique that gets one there, as long as it doesn't harm others. Seems like Jesus did a 30 day vision quest, fasting out in the desert. That's hardcore, but a well-known technique. That is like meditation on steroids. -
I have no faith that she will fight hard for serious progressive domestic reforms. She hardly talks about them. All she talks about is war and military issues. She's fairly conservative in her outlook. I trust that Bernie or Warren will not start any wars. So what's the point of Tulsi? Not starting war is like the bare minimum in a candidate. I don't sense that she has any original domestic plans. If she does, she hasn't communicated it.

Everything I teach lines up perfectly with Christian mysticism and Jesus. Jesus taught exactly what I teach. Just in different words. My teachings are in no way Eastern. They are equally Western. There is no difference between East and West, Buddha and Christ. -

I'm unlocking this so you guys can voice your critiques. No problems with non-toxic critiques here. You can critique me as you like. -

Because adults fear for them. Adults handle most of the child's survival needs (if the adults are good), which affords the child the luxury of play and being. Of course a child has less to fear because they don't know how dangerous the world is yet. In this case ignorance is bliss. But it cannot last. -

Yup, that's nondual reunion. Consciousness is delighted to reunite with itself after a lifetime of separation. -

How do you know I haven't? You guys make a lot of assumptions bout me. -

Tulsi is way overrated. She don't deserve to be president. Foreign policy does not a good president make. Tusli has a checked past when it comes to progressive domestic policy issues.

That's a potential problem. But so is the opposite: thinking it will be a breeze. Of course I don't actively go into it thinking, "Okay, this will be hell." I just have a reasonable expectation that the awakening process will be difficult, like climbing Mt Everest or running a marathon. You gotta come to it prepared. And my focus is not on the suffering of it, but on pursuing Truth, Consciousness, and Love. Your goal should be a positive one. -

You could do 8 back to back sessions of 5-MeO-DMT. But 1 is usually hard enough. I find value in various kinds of psychedelics. 5-MeO-DMT is most remarkable in its clarity. A high dose of LSD will get very visually wacky. You won't be able to see straight. But sure, it would also produce a lot of healing. LSD can be awesome. It's all good. Find what works for you. -

That video is misleading because it doesn't show you the work and suffering that went into it. And also, it doesn't show you what a bad trip is like. -

I study 100s of sources and do my own thing. I have no interest in being loyal to anyone. -
Leo Gura replied to Dylan Page's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Because it is Truth. None of this work is about avoidance of anything. It's the opposite. It's about an embrace of everything, which is the only way to conquer pain, suffering, and fear. The goal is not avoidance, it is Truth, Love, and Consciousness. -
Leo Gura replied to Javfly33's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Clearly you've never had a bad trip. Yes! Of course mystical experiences can be like psychotic breakdowns. Deep awakening is basically like losing your mind. Which is why so few people do it. The process of awakening is gonna be hell. Peace comes at the end, after you're dead and have completely lost your mind. -

It all depends. There are many possibilities: 1) The guru is just an abusive asshole and a fake. 2) The guru is somewhat awakened but still full of egoic impurities, not having finished his development and mastery. 3) The guru genuinely believes he's helping his students. Maybe he is helping, maybe not. This can vary. 4) The guru is genuinely helping his students but his students take it personally, have an ego-backlash, and project a lot of their own shit on the guru. In this case the guru is totally fine, but the student is just not capable of handling the teachings. The student is in over his head and lashes out at the guru. 5) The accusations are exaggerated or entirely false. The student may misunderstand what the guru was doing. 6) There may simply be a misalignment between the guru's style and the student's style. Which could easily be solved by finding a different guru without disparaging the old guru. All the above can happen. Rarely are things black and white. Rarely is a guru a total fake. -

No, the whole point is that it is NOT miserable. Your mind constructs pain, suffering, and misery. You are not understanding how deep this work goes. Imagine being so conscious that someone could break your finger and it would not be miserable to you. That is the depth of this work. Now, how to actualize that is the trick. It ain't easy. But we can work towards it. -
Leo Gura replied to electroBeam's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's not quite true. Some teachers and gurus are genuinely abusive, ill-informed, or corrupt. You do have to pick your teachers carefully. The wrong teacher could seriously screw you up. But just having the right teacher is also not sufficient because there are so many ways you could screw up and mis-apply the teachings. It's wise to cross-reference teachers and teachings to make sure you cover all possible blindspots and biases. -

Don't worry about it. Worry about yourself and let me worry about me. -

There's predicable pattern that happens with students. First they fall in love with the teachings. Then after a while they fall out of love because they need to differentiate themselves to grow and become their own Self. It's very much like a teen leaving the nest and rebelling against his parents in order to forge his own identity. "Fuck you Dad! You don't get to tell me what to do any more!" Okay, son. Go do what you gotta do. I told you from the beginning not to rely on me as your only source. But you didn't listen. It's hard for people to get that I am completely irrelevant in this work. None of this is about me. I do not matter. The one making this about me, is you. Because you deny our own authority you need some daddy figure to project it onto. -
Yes, Trump is also compromised by Suadi Arabia, Turkey, and who knows where else. An idiot is useful to lots of players.
