@billiesimon Lol... The irony is... THEY ARE YOU! Talking about yourself there? See how your devilish mind ignores your own hatred and dislike of people, exteriorizing the problem? Enlightenment means, everything is you. Nothing can be rejected or criticized, ever. Everything is as it must be, including all the "evil", ignorance, anything you personally dislike. How can you awaken to infinite love when you refuse to accept SJWs? How you gonna accept something far more sinister, like terrorists or school shooters or serial killers? All of them are YOU! So what you're doing is rejecting aspects of yourself that you don't like. Which creates suffering and agitation in you. Why you let a SWJ disturb your peace? To an enlightened person there is no such thing as SWJs. There is only Absolute Infinity, the total perfection of reality exactly as it arises. -

Don't be so sure about that. Whatever sexual urges and addictions you had before enlightenment will be afterwards, for the most part. Purifying your cravings is a whole separate ball game. -

I do yoga every day wherever I am. Hawaii videos are processing. -

In the fur ball example there is no such thing as consciousness. There is only the ball. What you call consciousness IS the ball! What you think of as consciousness you will ultimately discover is just BEing. BEing is what everything is. And what it is, is litterally undefinable. It is a substanceless subtance. It defies all categorization. It neither exists nor does not exist, etc. It is just actual infinity. -

There is no guaranteed order. And they will not necessarily be 3 discrete experiences. You could see it all in one giant revelation, or you might have to catch tiny glimpses here and there, over and over again before it finally all comes together. I've had it happen both ways. I've seen them individually and seen them all collectively, and then SO DEEPLY all collectively that I know they are all identical. Again, this will make little sense until you have these awakenings for yourself. You will NOT figure this out rationally no matter how hard you try. Trying to "figure out" enlightenment was one of my biggest traps. It cannot be done. You will waste years doing it and ultimately fail. Which is why I like psychedelics. They will show you very quickly why you cannot "figure it out". These insights exist at higher planes of consciousness than the plane you're at right now. No amount of mental activity in your current plane will do the trick. You must jump up in planes. Which thinking cannot achieve. -

You are Absolute Infinity, and I am Absolute Infinity. Ta-da! This cannot be understood logically. You must have an enlightenment experience into what is reality, what are you, and what is another. Those are like 3 separate enlightenment insights which then come together into one total enlightenment. -

Casually respond to them: "I am God." And watch them squirm. Hehe P.S. It works best when you're actually conscious that you are God. -

How else can you grow food? In outer space? Lol -
Leo Gura replied to MarkusSweden's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Outer You're getting lost in perception. Reality is an infinite singularity. It is ONE object. On the surface of this "mega-object" are sculpted an infinite number of surfaces. One of those surfaces is your present experience. This object contains every experience ever possible simulateously. There is no consciousness. There is only this object. You are it. But right now you only identify with being a tiny part of the whole. Imagine a giant fur ball, where each hair is a creature such as yourself. This ball contians all creatures and non-creatures alike because it is infinitely hairy. It looks precise as your present experience shows. You are presently being one of those hairs. But you are also the entire ball because the ball is made of nothing but hairs. -

Yogis aren't supposed to eat onions, too rajasic -
Leo Gura replied to MarinM's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Definitely But I will not be teaching specific yoga techniques. That is way too technical for a video. I will be talking about yoga in general and its value. I have an excellent Kriya Yoga book in my book list which I myself follow. -

@Timothy Well, psychics aren't omnipotent. They cannot do anything you want them to do. They are like any other profession. Police have their limits, and so do psychics. Hope it works out for your friend. If not, you can always try finding another psychic. -

You and me are identical. You just aren't conscious of that yet. -
Leo Gura replied to Soulbass's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
The irony is that after enlightenment nothing really changes. If you're holding enlightenment as your ticket out of life, you'll be disappointed. Where you are now, is exactly where you'll be post-enlightenment. The key difference will be, the seeking will fall away, which can be a huge relief if you've been seeking for many years. Now you can just BE. Your suffering can also diminish, although to what degree will vary. -

I went just for fun. I would not use a psychic for serious matters. If you have a problem, figure it out yourself and solve it yourself -- as much as humanly possible. Maybe turn to psychics in cases of last resort, like if you get cancer and no conventional treatment is working, then go look for a paranormal healer. I have used paranormal healers to work on some of my stubborn health issues which refuse to go away. And plan to do more of that in the future. The results so far have been limited, but I haven't put serious time into it either. I know there are good healers out there who are not scammers. Of course. That is the paradox of clairvoyance. As the ancient Greeks observed, once a prophecy is made, it will come true regardless of any actions you take to avoid it. Your avoidance of it will become its cause. Hence the "self-fulfilling prophecy" motif common in many Greek myths. Is that really how it works? I have no idea. All I know is, that witch told me I will win my legal case, and I did! And there was no way she could have known I had a legal case at all. So clearly she intuited something. You can't just cold-read something that specific. And I had to work my ass off to win that case. I had to argue the entire case myself without a lawyer because my lawyer doubled his rates at the last minute. So it was a bit of a miracle that I won. The irony is, if I had taken the witch's prediction seriously, I probably would not have worked so hard at the last minute to prepare my case, and I would have lost! So my skepticism is what made the prediction come true! It was a reverse self-fulfilling prophecy, hehe These days I take witches more seriously. I would think twice before pissing off a witch -

@MarinM They can be very helpful, but not strictly necessary if you are following very precise instructions. I suggest you try to find a teacher, and only if there isn't one in your area, then go for the do-it-yourself method. -

@WildeChilde Better question is: How do you know it can't? How do you know anything? What is knowledge? -
Leo Gura replied to MarkusSweden's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
My approach really isn't different. It's just that my work is much more holistic. Most teachers teach a strictly narrow path toward enlightenment in the same way that most math teachers only teach math. But that doesn't mean that life is only about math. See, most enlightenment teachers won't talk about how to have great sex. Because that's not their specialization. But that doesn't mean learning how to have great sex isn't deeply rewarding and worthwhile. Or that becoming enlightened obviates such learning. What you see with Actualized.org is not me being a nonduality teacher. You see my general passion for learning about life, of which nonduality just happens to be ONE facet. My goal was never nonduality, but living a great life and learning about a variety of cool stuff. Enlightenment is ONE domain of life. It just happens to be a very important domain because it's the domain of "What is the substance of EVERYTHING?" That's a pretty important and epic domain. But nevertheless, it's just ONE domain. And enlightenment is -- strictly speaking -- no more important than anything else. There is no reason why you should become enlightenment. And there is nothing wrong with you if you choose to ignore enlightenment entirely and decide to go become a potato farmer or an axe murderer instead. Life is free. You can do whatever the hell you like. Just be ware of the consequences. You cannot derive an ought from an is. If it's an illusion... so what? Life goes on just as before. The only difference is you understand it's an illusion. You can still raise your illusory children, walk your illusory dog, jerk your illusory dick, and eat your illusory ice cream. You can be miserable in the illusion or joyful in the illusion. Either way it's an illusion. And it doesn't matter how you feel about it from the universe's perspective. But how you feel probably makes all the difference from your perspective. -

Science just needs to be honest that it's a human species specific perspective of reality. There is nothing wrong with subjectivity. The only mistake is confusing it with objectivity (The Absolute). No serious philosopher of science can deny -- these days -- that all scientific experiments are theory-laden and always subject to interpretation. This was all hashed out over 100 years ago. Logical Positivism, Rationalism, and naive Empiricism are dead. They have been debunked. Enlightenment is not the only thing to life. Enlightenment merely tells you what the metaphysical nature of everything is. That all is a dream. Enlightenment says little about what to do within the dream. Don't have such a narrow-minded view of enlightenment. After enlightenment, life must go on. Science must be done. This infinite reality must be explored, mapped out, understood, and mastered. Exploring infinity is fun and exciting work. -
Leo Gura replied to MarkusSweden's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Just be a radically openminded scientist. Which means, you don't exclude any phenomena a priori. You are open to running any kind of experiment and you are willing to accept the results whatever they end up being, even it the result is paradoxical, unorthodox, radical, or undermines the very enterprise of conventional science. The perfect scenario is to realize the Absolute for yourself, become fully enlightened, and then you will be able to do incredible science if you still desire to. All scientists MUST study and seriously contemplate epistemology, metaphysics, transpersonal psychology, holism, and nonduality. Without that, you cannot be a good scientist. With that, you can be the next Einstein. FYI, many of the fathers of quantum mechanics were mystics. They were no orthodox materialist fools. Which is why they were able to figure out quantum mechanics in the first place. The best scientists think precisely along the lines I advocate. They are radically openminded and anti-traditionalist. Don't get discouraged about science. It will reform itself in the next 100 years. We need good people leading the way. Science is quickly coming around on nonduality. -

@roe Well... what did you expect yoga to be? Everything will collapse into unity. Of course it's intense. Everything you thought was real will collapse. -
Leo Gura replied to MarkusSweden's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
People really misunderstand my attitude towards science. I'm all for the scientific method. My criticism of science is essentially that it's not scientific enough. I criticize those areas where science holds dogmas and unquestioned metaphysical assumptions. The scientific method behind quantum mechanics is valid. The problem there only arises when the discoveries of quantum mechanics are misunderstood by people who hold a materialist metaphysics. They don't understand the profundity of what quantum mechanics or something like Godel's incompleteness theorem is pointing to. I don't disagree with scientific method. I merely point out how it is misapplied and the results of science are misinterpreted. I also point out the limits of the scientific method and suggest that there are alternative methods which can go beyond those limits. I want science to be more pure, more openminded, more humble, less orthodox, less conservative, less of a religion. -

@molosku You can trip balls on many other more common psychedelics. -
Leo Gura replied to completegraph's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
A breakthrough dose of snorted 5-MeO is closer to 30mg. Maybe even 35mg for those who are less sensitive or if your snorting technique is poor. 20mg vs 30mg is about a million times different. Can't speak to 4-ACO, haven't tried it yet. It should be similar to mushrooms. Make sure you don't snort it too deep, and make sure you flip your head upside down for a full 10 minutes and massage the 5-MeO into your nostrils after snorting. This makes a big difference. If you taste a bitter drip down your nose, that's you losing half your dose down your throat. 20mg effectively becomes only 10-15mg with improper snorting technique. Which of course is a weak dose. You ain't gonna be seeing God on that dose unless you've already broken through.
