Look, you are not the only person here. Actualized.org needs to be appealing to ordinary folks. I don't want to just be preaching to a choir of freaks and nondual assholes.

That's exactly what happens with lots of psychedelic use. Each trip produces a big breakthrough. Then you drop back to baseline, but not entirely. And with each such trip your awareness expands, expands, expands, gradually, until one day you find yourself very wake effortlessly. It's a process of both sudden and gradual awakening. -
That sorta spoils my motivation to teach though. I need the illusion of a student to teach.

It would freak you guys out and make me look insane.

The contradiction is in your mind. There is no contradiction between learning and unlearning. Do both. -
No, I expect it to be about 1 hour long and similar to vaping but smoother and a bit milder. It will be closer to vaping than aya I would imagine. Similar to how 5-MeO works. I think plugging it will be really really good. But don't know for sure yet.
-
Depends on what you want. DMT is better for seeing new worlds and aliens. 5-MeO is best for ego-death & pure awakening to yourself as God.
-
I think they can both be equally powerful but in different ways. 5-MeO is not visually powerful. There is something very freaky about your entire visual field getting replaced in 1 minute.
-
That's exactly why N,N-DMT should be plugged. It will be much smoother and gentler.

No I think of it as a dream.

My point about Jesus was not his politics but the fact that he was a radical in his time. You think the rabbis of his time weren't upset with him? A guy who came along and starts a whole new version of Judaism? Proclaiming to be the son of God? Ordinary folks in that era would have perceived this as outrageous radicalism of the highest order. Utter blasphemy and disrespect of tradition. If the Romans hadn't killed him the Jews might have. Our problem is not too much change too soon. The planet is dying. We need radical change 30 years ago. Just because there is an ego backlash does not mean we stop pushing for much-needed reform. There is always ego backlash. This is nothing new. Don't let fear of ego backlash prevent you from making the right moves which you know will help people. You think the abolition of slavery didn't come with a backlash? What were folks supposed to do? Maintain slavery simply because the slave owners would bitch about losing their slaves? Those in power always bitch about how unfair it is that their power is being taken away. I agree that uneducated people tend to dislike highly educated wonks. I think Bernie doesn't have this problem. Bernie comes across as an ordinary guy, not an elite university professor. This is a potential problem for Warren. But again, this is an image problem, not a substantive one. Conscious politics requires that you stop thinking about your personal agenda so much. There are larger issues here beyond whether you will personally benefit from a policy. Besides, your children might benefit. And you will benefit if we live in a society where most people are well-educated rather than bigots who believe every piece of right-wing propaganda. This year I personally gained $40,000 in tax refund thanks to Trump. The government literally mailed me a check for $40,000. Next year I will probably get another $40,000. So for me, Bernie is terrible. I will lose so much money with him in office. But I don't let my personal finances get in the way of what is right for the country at large. That is conscious politics. It's not about what's best for me. It's about what's best for the majority of people and what equalizes consciousness. Giving rich people like me $40,000 does not help to equalize consciousness, it does the opposite. Nor did I vote to get a tax cut. That is a huge problem. That's unconsciousness. Uneducated people are far greater devils and they elect devils more often.

There is still much value to learning. -
Leo Gura replied to Shaun's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It's quite the paradox. When I am fully conscious, there is no one left to awaken. All my work is self-entertainment. When you fully awake you will realize there isn't anyone here but you. But you will also quickly drop back down into conventional reality and treat other people as if they are real and objective. You can't really help it. It's just practical and works for purposes of survival. -
Leo Gura replied to Bobby's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
And likewise you or Martin might try plugging 5-MeO and discover something new and valuable. That is the whole point of staying openminded. There's always more to learn. Psychedelics is a deep field which requires many years to understand properly. -
Leo Gura replied to Shaun's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Ahahahahaha.... I am as real as you imagine me to be. -
That's a psychedelic breakthrough, LOL. My channel should just be videos like this. There's really nothing more to say. The perfect depiction of Infinite Consciousness/God.
-
Actually there is no non-existence. There is only existence. Existence is an Absolute with no opposite. Non-existence is an image within existence. Which means non-existence exists (but only as an image). This is a very twisted mindfuck. The problem is that you are mistaking an image of non-existence for actual non-existence, which doesn't exist! Look at how you twist yourself into pretzels, all to create the illusion non-existence. LOL It's pure genius! You are a genius bullshitter
-
That's the kicker. There isn't a who. That biological who is purely an imagination. It has zero reality to it. There is no devil. Only God. The devil's greatest trick is appearing to exist when it does not! The devil is falsehood. And falsehood does not exist. Hence everything is Truth & Absolute Good! Ta-da!

God is a beaitful creature

All language is dualistic, one-dimensional, and extremely limited. What does other have to do with it? This one's a bit tricky and I'm still a bit unsure about it. I will clarify it soon. Basically it boils down to one of these options: 1) You don't really exist. You are just a figment of my imagination. The entire world is just for me. In other words, total solipsism. 2) God subdivided itself into separate dimensions, one of which is mine and one of which is yours. Of course since both of us are God, both of us are being both dimensions at once. So I and you are literally one consciousness but experiencing different forms. What I know 100% is that the formlessness in you is the formlessness in me. The all-seeing-eye is one in every living being. But I'm not yet totally sure how other dimensions might be created. Remember, nothing is impossible to God. It can create dimensions out of thin air if it wants to. All form is God's imagination. An insights is form, so yes it is imagined. But also insight can carry "truth". I don't know how to explain it. Insight is fundamental to consciousness. Consciousness is capable of insight. It can be self-knowing. Conscious can understand itself. That's what makes it mystical. The answer is very radical: every object outside of your current experience right now which you think exists, is something you're imaging. If it's not directly present, it is directly present as an image. So a galaxy exists in your mind as an image. If you were to travel to space and look at a galaxy with your eyes, the galaxy would now be created for you by you. It's a bit like a video game rendering engine. It does not render the world other than what the player is able to see right now. There really isn't a "world", there is only what's rendered at any given moment. Your birth and death are something you're imagining, for example. When you realize that, you will become immortal in that instant. Until you start imagining your birth and death again. Then you will become mortal. The way you were born is that you imagined you were born. And so it was.

@Shaun Lol, no! The static world you used to live in was miserable and full of fear. Now that you see it's all an illusion you can love it all to the hilt and be joyful because you have absolutely nothing to lose. You need to go deeper. Your ego is misconstruing things, projecting its own problems on it. 1 trip is nothin', just peanuts. -
Leo Gura replied to Bobby's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
We somewhat disagree. So what? You expect all spiritual people to agree? Why do you think no two spiritual people agree 100%? Contemplate that and try to gain an insight into it. Then maybe you'll also see the value of insight. I have no problem vaping 5-MeO and I will do it. I have no dogma against it. I simply have been busy with other things. I will even vape bufo and post a comparison of all of it for you guys. Don't take me for a fool. -
Leo Gura replied to Bobby's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It's a non-issue. You are acting as though insight is something wrong or bad. This is absurd. The whole point of the spiritual path is to gain deeper insight into the nature of self, God, reality, and life. This is not "ego." This is self-recognition at a fine-grained level. As God I enjoy studying myself in many different ways. If you don't want that, then do whatever you want. I could spend 1 million years studying myself. And I will. My path is what's known as Jnana yoga. It's an intellect oriented path. Other people prefer a heart oriented path. I like to dissect stuff and make sense of it. Anti-intellectualism is not a requirement of awakening. You can do both. The Jnana yoga path is very documented in history. -
Leo Gura replied to Bobby's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Not really. You suggest they use that word in a binary way whereas I use it more as matters of degree. You can map a binary model onto a non-binary model. It's like one person says: there exist cats and dogs. And another person says: there exist Siamese, Calicos, Pit bulls, Golden Retrievers, etc. Are they contradicting each other? No I don't recall saying that either. Obviously the more conscious you are, the less you will tend to act like a devil. But if you slip up and act like a devil anyway (which does happen), that is okay too. -
Leo Gura replied to Bobby's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Again, it's not such a big contradiction as you think. Yes, I emphasize understanding and insight more than Martin does. But this does not contradict anything. I am simply interested in insight and understanding. It is definitely possible to understand yourself as God and all of the facets which you are. Not in a rational linguistic manner. Understanding and Being are ultimately one. So there's no serious contradiction here, just a difference in emphasis. It's not merely the ego that wants to know. God is waking up to itself. God wants to know what it is. Don't dismiss this as mere ego. Martin has a certain style of working with 5-MeO and I have my own style. Different people have different styles of doing this work. And that's okay. Find your own fave style. I do "energetic experiencing and processing too" on my trips. It's not as though I sit there and conceptualize stuff on the trip, LOL. Having insights and understanding and doing energetic process work well together. Don't make it a false dichotomy. You can have it all!
