Stage Blue has authoritarian tendencies. Because they like to follow a strong leader. So once a strong leader emerges by conquering everyone else, Blue falls in line and conforms. Blue loves, loves, loves conformity. It gives Blue a sense of security & comfort. Blue loves unambiguous black & white leadership style. Like in the military. Everyone knows his rank and knows exactly what is expected of him. Blue makes excellent soldiers because they are so loyal. Of course the problem is, Blue also makes excellent Nazis.

Well of course what one chooses to emphasize when teaching is rather subjective and arbitrary. I am interested in teaching all aspects of the Absolute. But this makes the teaching far more complex. And it requires time to roll the teaching out. Keep in mind that what you see of my teaching is a very early version, a work in progress that isn't even 10% complete. So when the full teaching is complete 10-20 years from now, then you can nitpick what I left out. But when you finally see the full teaching, you'll be more than satisfied. Love & Perfection as so closely related that it's not a big deal. When speaking you're gonna have to choose one framing vs another. All speech is limited and cannot fully capture what needs to be said. More practically, Love is something ordinary people can resonate with and learn to practice in their daily lives. Videos on that coming soon. Contrary to Love being some philosophical abstraction, Love is the fastest way to get people onto the spiritual path. People have a deep intuitive feel for love. Love cuts through the rational mind. If you've ever deeply loved another being, you'll understand how much God loves you and how powerful Love is. There is no power higher than your capacity to love. Love overcomes every single obstacle. -

All meaning is a construction of the mind. You are creating it while not realizing you are creating it. This doesn't make meaning good or bad. It just is what it is. Become aware of how you create meaning. -

There is already a thread on this topic where your question was answered at length. -

Yes. Perfection, Paradise, Heaven, etc. But Love is yet distinct from Perfection. You cannot reduce Love down to anything else, even though Love is identical to Truth / Being / Consciousness / Nothingness There are aspects of the Absolute even though it is ONE. -

And yes, there will be many videos about loving coming soon. It takes time to explain all these things methodically. -

This is precisely incorrect. You guys need to appreciate that I am pointing to something deeper which you are as yet missing. I would not make such a big deal out of this if it wasn't really fucking important. Not all spiritual paths lead to the same place. Some paths and teachings lead deeper than others. If I am emphasizing something to this degree, it's not a mere word game, it's something massive you're missing. I can lead a donkey to water, but I cannot make you drink. The word Love is used precisely because that's what it is. No other word is correct for this aspect of consciousness. To use other words just to appeal to egos would be a corruption of the highest truth. This corruption comes from lack of understanding. The truth is just too radical for people to accept. Even so called enlightened people. They can still deny love. How can God reveal itself to you when you are so adamant in denying it? -
Some people are very spiritually talented. But such exceptions prove the rule.

Many people live with a lot of repressed emotional baggage and truama that they have been in denial about for years. It can be painful to open those old wounds. But this is by no means unique to psychedelics. Intense meditation can also cause such problems. Purifying the mind is not always a walk in the park. Especially if you have a dirty mind. -

Both ways can be great. But for my deepest contemplations I turn the music off. -

Good deployment of radical openmindedness! Lol -

From what I understand grenade launcher attachments for AR-15's are still legal and easily obtainable. But the grenade rounds are illegal and hard to find. It varies a lot by state. California banned a lot of stuff. But Nevada is like the wild wild west. We have the laxest gun laws in the country.

@Phoenixx Open your mind more and be here to learn new things which you may have never considered.

Ha. ha. ha. Current science is a joke from the standpoint of understanding what reality is. If you want to build a flying toaster, science is great. -

Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Aliveness it not what I mean though. Love is not the same as aliveness. Love is a very distinct realization. Yes, of course people equate love with human emotion, in the same way that they equate perception with a human creature. The ego precisely co-opts such terms, corrupting them to partial, limited, dualistic notions. It is impossible to comprehend Infinite Love from the ego's POV. From the ego's POV, Infinite Love is death. It cannot be allowed at any cost. It must be denied, denied, denied. The devil will never admit that the universe is made of pure Love. -

Again, that's some interpretation you're creating. I said no such thing. Feeling good is not the existential Love I'm pointing to. That is your relative judgment. What you're not yet understanding is that conflict is necessary and inevitable, even within spirituality. You cannot have a spiritual school without boundaries and conflict. This has never happened in human history and it never will because the relative domain is necessarily dualistic and exclusionary. There cannot be a fully inclusive teaching because it would become totally corrupt and ineffective. Effectiveness itself is a bias which must be enforced through exclusion. This problem goes away beyond personal ego or some local dispute between two teachers. This is an existential problem which can only be appreciated after deep contemplation of it. Ask yourself what conflict is and why necessarily occurs. While you're at it, ask yourself what boundaries are and why social organizations must have them. You're saying that. Not me. I have never had a problem with the teaching of self-inquiry. I have taught it myself. I have books about it on my book list. -
@Phoenixx That does not contradict anything I said. But it's not brain chemicals which did that to you, but rather the imagination of Infinite Consciousness. Chemicals are nothing more than images held in Infinite Consciousness. There is no difference between reality and imagination. ALL OF THIS is a figment of your imagination. And furthermore, you are imagining that you aren't imagining it. So you believe it's "real". Stop imagining it is real and it will stop being real.

That is correct. What's required is consciousness of God's Will and how this Will can be channeled or directed. It's tricky stuff. Yes, it's absolutely crucial that you surrender all desire for personal power or personal gain. My working theory is, personal desires for power will block you from access to the highest power. This is like a safety mechanism to prevent devils from screwing up reality. -

@ahmad ibdah Research the anecdotal data. Many people struggle with weed addiction. -
Leo Gura replied to Swagala's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's just not true. Weed addiction is a serious problem for many people. -
Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's your interpretation. Compared to hardcore spiritual practice as in Zen, what you guys get here is the light treatment. Your egos are SO comfortable and safe lurking around this forum. -
Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Realistically you cannot trick your way out of this problem. You must do the practices, have multiple awakenings, and do further practices to weed out all attachments, cravings, aversions, fears, clinging, etc. In other words, by doing all of the Actualized work & practices you can, one day, get to a point where you will be unshakable. But also, to await such a point is going to create more suffering. Happiness can never be found in the future. It exists only NOW! But in order to fully surrender to the NOW you have to spend some years doing practices to calm down your mind. Yoga, psychedelics, self-inquiry, etc. Basically meditation teaches you authentic happiness. The happiness of NOW. -

Atoms undergo radioactive decay all the time. Atoms can be split and fused into new ones. That's what nuclear weapons do.
