Leo Gura

This is false.

@herghly Whatever you want.

@Outer You might as well post some pictures of Jesus to a kid who got molested by a Catholic priest. That is what your defense of science amounts to. Believe it or not, it's possible to launch a rocket into space but still be utterly deluded about the nature of reality. Success != Truth As I've told you guys many times before.

@Slade Anything any teacher says, to you, is just hearsay. Sadhguru could be full of shit for all you know. Discover what is true DIRECTLY!

Consciousness is INFINITELY EVERYTHING! But as you become more conscious of that you will have less need or desire for violence.

Yeah, eating humans tends to raise some eyebrows

I have spoken about nonduality A LOT at this point. Go see the Enlightenment video category on the website.

That is too deep a topic to address in a forum post. I'll shoot some videos about that in the future. As I said in my Recontextualization video, science gets the context wrong. Neuroscience is wrong Western medicine is wrong QM interpreations are wrong Reductionism is wrong Materialism is wrong Evolutionary theory is wrong Paranormal research is being denied Etc. But if you cannot see how phrenology was part of science, then you will not understand my critiques of modern scientific problems. You must understand the past before you have a hope of understanding the present. Unless you have studied the history of science or philosophy of science this will go over your head. These are very tricky issues that require years of careful study and contemplation. The way you are writing it strikes me that you have not invested any time investigating what science is or how it works at the epistemic level.

@Outer Bro, you need to listen more carefully. This isn't rocket science. I said my position very clearly in the video. Watch it again from the beginning with an open mind.

Yes! That's what I am saying now. "Inside of consciousness" is identical to being consciousness. There only exists 1 thing: consciousness, period. The end. There is nothing else. This understanding is Absolute. It is true under all circumstances. Consciousness is not a feature of brains. Consciousness is the substance of "physical" reality.

So phrenology was not wrong? Newtonian mechanics was not wrong? Logical positivism was not wrong? Behaviorism was not wrong? Bloodletting with leeches was not wrong? Lobotomies were not wrong? Atomic theory was not wrong? Social Darwinism was not wrong? Need I continue? The errors of science are too numerous to list and explain.

I don't think so, I absolutely AM so. I said in my consciousness video that a rock is not conscious, but it is consciousness. Which is exactly what I am saying now. Go do some psychedelics cause you are clearly lost in your own mind beyond help. What I am saying isn't panpsychism, it is pure nonduality. You just lack the direct experience necessary to understand it.

It's much weirder than that! Dinosaurs are a concept in your head. You ain't never seen a dinosaur. And even if you had, unless you are looking one in the face right this second, it is a concept nonetheless. Your own birth is a concept! Your own head is a concept! Oh-oh... this isn't looking too good for you...

5-MeO-DMT is consciousness. Chemicals are consciousness. Everything is consciousness. When I snort 5-MeO, I am snorting myself. In the same way that I gave birth to myself out of my own vagina, since I am EVERYTHING. If it sounds ridiculous, that's on you. The truth is stranger than fiction. It's your job to surrender to it, not to judge it. Or... feel free to keep acting arrogant. The truth don't care how ignorant you are.

That is what a Catholic says when their church is accused of molesting children: stop bashing God. Science is being bashed for a reason: it gets a lot of stuff deeply wrong and it is corrupt. We can criticize the theortical foundations of science without rejecting technology in the same way that we can criticize corrupt politicians without rejecting government.

"Physical" is a concept you invented. There ain't no such thing.

Lol No! Of course not! Ego does not care about truth. Ego cares about self-preservation (illusion). Ego does not admit mistakes because ego is perfect. Science cannot be wrong, by definition. Ego cannot be wrong by definition. Only not-science can be wrong. Radical critiques of science are NOT okay! That is too dangerous to the collective scientific ego. Which is why science advances one dead scientist at a time, and scientific consensus is about 100 years out of date. After you're dead, science will be a bit better Think about this: if humans lived forever, science would stop working.

@CreamCat Loosely

@28 cm unbuffed Only you can know what you need or don't need. But whatever you decide, I recommended you keep a habit of Kriya yoga, or meditation, or self-inquiry going. Even if just 30 minutes per day. That will slowly eat away at the ego and after some years your desires will naturally turn towards enlightenment. Psychedelic trips once a month is also a great habit. If you can't muster the courage to approach enlightenment head on, do it sideways through baby habits.

@rirdsaam Self-inquiry is necessary. Sit down and start questioning what you are. Try to point to yourself. Where exactly are you? What exactly are you? See Leo's Practical Guide To Enlightenment (pinned thread). Psychedelics speed up the process x1000. Kriya yoga also great.

Of course, that's nonduality 101. No ego = no control The whole point of meditation is to realize you are not in control of your thoughts. You (ego) ARE a thought! My video: Free Will vs Determinism, is all about this. God is in control of everything, so to speak. But then again, you are God! So it goes full-circle in a way that you will not be able to appreciate until after awakening.

I dunno, that contradicts his other quote:

@Sockrattes At the moment it was invented You have to understand that Spiral Dynamics did not exist 100 years ago. Electrons did not exist 300 years ago. Human rights did not exist 500 years ago. Mathematics did not exist 10,000 years ago. Etc. All of these are conceptual schemes which cannot exist until they are invented. For example, the notion of a subconscious mind did not exist until Sigmund Freud invented it 100 years ago. Think about that! There was no subconscious mind before it was invented by a human! And then it appeared one day. The ancient Greeks did not have subconscious minds! You do! There were no electrons 300 years ago, now they exist! Ta-da! YOU are inventing all this shit while vehemently denying that you are doing so. You even invented the concept of your own birth. That's how you came into being! You did not exist until you thought, "I exist". And you will die as soon as you realize, "I never existed!" Ta-da! (Of course by "you" here I mean the ego, not the Absolute. The Absolute is eternal.)

@How to be wise A stage Red or Blue person cannot have full emotional mastery because they are fundamentally deluded by ego at that stage. They can have a peak mystical experience, but they will not have full emotional mastery because that is a stage far beyond even enlightenment. That requires unimaginable degrees of consciousness which a stage Red or Blue person could not muster. The whole point of being at Red/Blue is that you are resisting full emotional mastery. If you got it, you'd transcend Red/Blue. At least at this day and age. 2000 years ago might have been a bit different because culture was so underdeveloped.

No, I do not consume addictive substances. If psychedelics were addictive, I would not use them.
