@phoenix666 I'll shoot a vid about it in the future. You can do practices to open your heart chakra. -
Leo Gura replied to Phrae's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Phrae Sit your ass down and self-inquire. Everything else is distraction. The only strategy that matters is that you actually turn inside and look at your direct experience. The rest is games. You can become enlightened sitting on your couch. If you would only discipline yourself and rivet your attention on: What am I? -

That's right. Now carry it thru to the end. -

Next, Sadhguru teaches Trump to be spirtual. After failing to do so, Sadhguru goes mahasamdhi. -

@Empty Firstly, morality does not exist. You can do anything you want. Murder, rape, incest, drugs, genocide, racism... whatever. It is all part of reality and in fact an action of God. That is an extremely important point to understand. Until you understand this, you will never become deeply spiritual because you are not yet conscious of how your mind constructs these rules. If you reject evil, you in fact create evil. The solution to evil is to fully love it. The problem of exploitation is not solved with judgment or suppression, but LOVE! You want to realize and embody Divine Love. As your ego dissolves, what is left in its place is pure love for everything, and that's when your actions become truely moral. Morality is not about rules, it's about acting Good for no reason whatsoever, because it comes from your heart. Why would you want to use a girl for sex? Why not love her without necessarily marrying her? Sex is something you two can both enjoy. In fact, good sex is one of the greatest things a man can gift to a woman. Learn how to really please your girl in bed, and she will love you for it. Follow your heart, NOT rules from authority figures. Your heart is more powerful than all the rules in the world. When your heart is strong it allows you to overpower all of your selfish fearful egoic impulses. Rules are designed for heartless people. -
Leo Gura replied to Paulus Amadeus's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Paulus Amadeus 1) The world is not nearly as rigid and predictable as you think. Take 2 tabs of LSD and see for yourself. Or just consider your dreams at night. 2) Infinity includes an infinite number of predictable worlds. There is nothing you can think which is not found inside Infinity. You are hallucinating a predictable world. Which is no stranger than hallucinating an unpredictable world. 3) Infinity is beyond all thought experiments. So all of this is just mental masturbation. Infinity is a brute fact. You cannot argue with what is. You can only become aware of it, or fail to do so. A brute fact does not hinge upon your thought experiments or reasons. Your mind is trying to make sense of God, and that will never work. -
Leo Gura replied to Monkey-man's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
If you still think God is something else than you, you haven't got it yet. It's best not to talk about God unless you have a direct experience of it. Quoting scriptures just doesn't cut it. Indeed, the only one you can worship or pray to is yourself. Whether you want to do so, it up to you. The ultimate egotism is thinking God is Infinite, but that that infinity somehow excludes you. -

Depends on the teacher. Teachers are not all at the same level of realization. I've tried to get Ralston to try it but he declined and ridiculed it. I am worried about having an old man doing 5-MeO. Might kill him. -

You should read Om Swami's book from my book list. It will clear things up for ya about how to become a monk. -
@Frylock Sounds like a life purpose opportunity

Leo Gura replied to Phrae's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So become a monk or yogi. Plenty of places around that will take you. Search around online. Just don't join a cult. -
@Akim God is not a concept. God is an Absolute direct consciousness of the nature of reality. After your cognize God, you will know what the word means. Until then, you do not know. Not even close. All ideas of God are wrong. I am not speaking hypotheticals here. I am speaking of things I've experienced. 99.99999% of Christians have no clue what God is. This cannot be resolved with discussion. You must realize that you are God.

Leo Gura replied to wakeel55's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Haha, the whole point of society is to help people collectively avoid looking at their shadow. 70%+ of marketing is about triggering your shadow. How is business gonna control and exploit shadow-free people? You exploit people by appealing to their weaknesses, fears, hatreds, greed, and depravity. Notice, the mainstream doesn't offer any root solutions to any problems. It's all band-aids and opiates. The job of society is to construct a reality -- and to distract people long enough so they never realize that reality does not actually exist. -

Leo Gura replied to ChadT's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
This is false. Why do you assume this a priori without empirical validation? Rather unscientific of you. Have you examined all of reality? Then why jump to that conclusion? What percent of reality have you seen or understood? <0.000000000000001% The problem is that you are using science unscientifically, turning it into an ideology. That is a bastardization of science. What you're not understanding about science is that it only studies one dimension of reality, at one level of consciousness. At higher levels of consciousness, science is untrue. In fact, it is impossible to reach truth with science because the map is never the territory. Please stop believing in Sam Harris and his ilk. Their understanding of reality and consciousness is very crude and demonstrably wrong. They are not even close to understanding reality, consciousness, or science. It's just another ideology. Despite the title of his book, Sam Harris is not awake and he does not understand what awakening really is. He is a dogmatic rationalist. And his fanbase is a rationalist cult. It's just another religion. If you really care about science, you should start to study philosophy of science and epistemology. And contemplate the foundations of all knowledge. You are not conscious yet of what knowledge or science are. Just to trigger the Sam Harrisite in you, what if I told you that you can access deeper facets of reality with witchcraft than science? That happens to be true. Check out witchcraft -
No, that's only true of exoteric versions of any religion. The esoteric core of every religion recognizes that God and world and self are all one. The problem is, most people just can't fathom it. Jesus was God. How more nondual can you get? The kindgom of heaven is within he said. Jewish Kabballah is nondual. Sufism is nondual. The separation only exists in the minds of the separated. If God is infinite, how can you be separate from him? Lol. Infinite means EVERYTHING, including you!

My pleasure -
The trouble with all religion, in general, is that it mixes truths derived from genuine mystical experience with a political system of control. It's a bit like mixing caviar with poo. That's what distinguishes religion from mysticism. Mysticism is pure spirituality, without hierarchy or a political agenda. Religion always has a political agenda and seeks to establish a ruling authority. Mohammad was a mystic, but ALSO, he was a political leader who sought to unify warring tribes within Arabia and spread knowledge of the existence of Allah. As a political leader, of course he had to do a lot of evil stuff, otherwise he and his tribe would have been killed. Unification isn't all rainbows and butterflies. Political unification requires war and bloodshed to force people to submit under one banner. Harems were standard practice in Arabia at that time.

@Truth You don't really need 5-MeO. Any lesser psychedelic will change your life forever. LSD is particularly amazing for consciousness work for me. -

Yes, it usually does. But as Terence McKenna famously said, "Psychedelics don't work on stupid people." -
Leo Gura replied to WildeChilde's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Because even when engaging in the lower Jihad, as Sam Harris does, or the United States as a whole does, for example, it is still none other than fighting with oneself. If everything is nondual, and all human beings are you, then who are you fighting with? Who you judging? All enemies are just projections of the ego. The struggle is always with oneself, even if you trick yourself into thinking you are fighting some external enemy. "We have seen the enemy, and he is us." Self/other is one. God is always in a struggle with itself, that's all. The Lesser Jihad simply amounts to slapping yourself in the face, then getting upset, and slapping yourself back. There really is no difference between igornance and walking the spiritual path. It's just a question of directness, which is a question of karma. To find Allah, some people will have to blow themselves up. Because that is their karma. To find Allah, some people will have to waste 5 lifetimes debating, arguing, judging, doing violence, being politically active, etc. Some people only wake up after enormous self-inflicted suffering or stupidity. Some people need to hit rock bottom before they are willing to surrender to Allah. But in the end, Allah will win over that ego. There is no escaping the Truth. The only question is, how long will you stall out the clock? -
Leo Gura replied to Space's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Space There are several deeper variables at play: 1) The baseline level of consciousness you were born with. 2) The degree to which you've deconstructed your mind. How much you've contemplated epistemic and metaphysical issues. 3) Your brain physiology. 4) Your karma 5) Your geunine degree of curiosity about reality. My theory is that all of these factors are more important than dose or substance.
