If you notice, dreams commonly reveal your deep-seated fears. Especially if the same dream keeps happening over and over again. This is an opportunity for you to learn your lesson and resolve your fear. Then the dream will stop repeating and you will get more advanced dreams. Keep learning the lesson from each one until eventually you purify yourself of all your fears. -
@7thLetter There will be a video announcement once the details have been figured out.

It's due to the academia part. Academia has its head up its own ass. To maintain its status as the arbiters of "truth", academia must dismiss everything non-academia as unscientific BS. Which itself is unscientific BS. This attitude is a cancer of the mind.

I've never had any knee pain in my life. Watch out for your fantasies, assumptions, and projections about me. Best not to talk about someone you don't know as if you know him. And it's a bad idea to do things on people without their permission. Be care with the New Age rabbit hole. It contains lots of potential for self-deception and delusion in the name of spirituality. Which is not to say Reiki doesn't work. Just don't get carried away into fantasy-land about it. -
Leo Gura replied to Raider15's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Raider15 Yes, but your question is rather misleading because you are assuming consciousness is a thing. Pure consciousness is not a thing. It is blank, void, nothing. It is like the hole in your coffee cup. You're asking: "Can a pure hole exist without a coffee cup?" Yes, except it is then no longer a hole as you've always thought of it. It is just infinite emptiness. -

The Absolute has no qualities, which is identical to it having all qualities. All qualities are qualities of the Absolute. So literally any quality you can think of is a quality of the Absolute. Which is precisely why nothing can be said of the Absolute because to say it has one quality but not another is to misrepresent it. It is infinite, finite, both, and neither. It is small, big, both, and neither. It is eternal, temporal, both, and neither. And so on down the line. Your mind cannot hold all of these qualities at once. For that, you would have to exit the mind and literally become the entire universe. Which is possible, but not within the realm of speech or conventional "knowledge." You'd have to leave those behind. -
I'm looking for a fairly experienced web developer with good working knowledge of PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. And as a bonus, experience with Wordpress backend, shopping carts, and Paypal backend integration would be really nice. I have a few improvements that I want made to the Actualized.org website, like an improved search function, and we need to create a registration page for the upcoming Actualized tour -- which needs to be hooked up to Paypal payment processing and a custom database -- and some other additions to the shopping cart. This would be a part-time, semi-paid volunteer gig. You could add Actualized.org to your resume/portfolio. I could also give you free access to all current & future Actualized products/courses, or maybe even some one-on-one life coaching if you want. PM me if you're interested. Let me know what kind of experience you have and where you are located. I only need one person. Thanks!

That's gonna be true of most work environments. The search for Truth is the opposite of doing everyday work. Even the work I do for Actualized.org is counter-productive for seeking Truth. In fact, very much so. Because work is just not about that. Work is a survival function, which is the opposite of Truth. The biggest problem I see with programming is that it consigns you to sit at a computer terminal for 8 hours per day for 40 years. But then again, lots of work does that these days. I spend much of my time on a computer. So....

The ultimate mark of enlightenment is the humility it bestows. -
Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@winterknight I'm happy for ya man. You seem all right. I have grown tired of these arrogant enlightened folks coming here and acting like know-it-all jerks. The Jed McKenna effect I call it So it's nice to hear from someone with humility. -

@Matt23 How old are you? What is your financial situation like? Are you running away from anything in doing this? How mentally stable are you? Are you depressed or suffering from any kind of mental disorders? How good are you at tolerating being alone? -

@winterknight Haven't you seen the 11th ox herding picture of the fully enlightened Buddha driving his Rolls Royce into the sunset? Only then is your enlightenment complete. -
Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@winterknight Interesting And how many Rolls Royces have you managed to accumulate? -
Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Of course Have you noticed your crown chakra open? Any kundalini-like energetic shifts? -
Leo Gura replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@winterknight Good work. Sounds like you made it. Have you had the following realizations: What is God? Absolute Infinity Infinite Love What is another? Infinite Intelligence Nirvana These facets can be part of an enlightenment, or not. -

@Jcent Sounds like you're going sane -

Relationships are a great growth opportunity if done with such intent. The problem is most people don't do them that way so they become the opposite. -
Yes Guess what the #1 prerequisite for charisma is? PRESENCE!

Why is there something rather than nothing? -
Leo Gura replied to XYZ's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
All fear is fear of losing one's self/identity. So of course people fear intimacy & deep union with others. Other is the very thing you need to differentiate yourself from in order to be a self. Self/other is the ultimate conceptual duality which birthed you into existence. You were literally born the moment you thought: "self here, other there." And you've been under this delusion for your entire life. Stop running away from feeling emotions. Do the opposite and push yourself to feel more deeply. The purpose of being alive is to FEEL everything! Stop being picky about where it feels good or bad. Just fucking FEEL! Make it your mission to feel the shit out of everything regardless of what it is. -
Leo Gura replied to Angelite's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
God also DOES have a body. Your body, and every body that has every existed for every creature. Those are all literally God's body. God is a shapeshifter, a thing which inhabits infinite forms. Which is why God is difficult for people to see. They keep looking for God as one concrete thing, this or that, but God is ALL THINGS! The hardest thing to see is that which is everywhere you look and the eyes with which you are looking. -

Motel rooms can be found for $35/night Or you could even go camping and at least put up a tent. -

@llumi Either it is untrue, or it will awaken automatically during enlightenment. You certainly don't have to know about kundalini or actively try to awaken it to become enlightened. I would distinguish between activated kundalini and enlightenment. You can have one or the other or both or neither. -

It's very very unlikely to make you enlightened. The #1 requirement for enlightenment is laser focus for hours on end. There is a good reason why the most enlightened sages were hermits and recluses. "Human stuff" is a giant distraction. Nothing wrong with building deep relationships, but it will get you mired deep in human stuff when you want to be delving into metaphysical stuff. You can also do both, by scheduling 10-day solo retreats throughout the year. This way you can have relationships without going full-monk, but you can also get some of that monk experience. This is probably the ideal for most people, unless you're really drawn to go full-monk. Anyhow, all those humans are none other than yourself. There is no one here but you. God is forever alone.
