Get your basic life and career in order so that later you have time for philosophy and spirituality. -
It is true though that stage Blue Zionists believe that Jews are the Chosen People and Children of Light. Dan was saying that that's a problematic worldview which leads to devilry. That is spot-on. Of course Dan resembles an American Nazi. But even a Nazi can be right on some points. You can agree with a Nazi that kicking dogs is wrong. That's basically what Dan said.

By Zionism I mostly mean right-wing stage Blue Zionists and/or people who blindly defend nearly all of Israel's selfish and manipulative actions vis a vis Palestine. I call it Zionism when people just start from the axiomatic position that Israel is an objective good. Zionism is fundamentally a profound ethnocentric self-bias, which is why it is wrong. You can be Israeli or Jew without holding such a bias. For example, when America does something wrong I have no problem admitting it because I do not hold America as axiomatically good. If I was an Americanist that would be wrong.

You could have some permanent shifts in your state. Be open to that. But also, perfect freedom isn't necessary. 99.999% of humans live without such freedom and many of them are reasonably happy. Don't go chasing some God-perfection, enjoy life now. -

God is Everything. -

Pretty difficult since most people cannot even do basic philosophical inquiry because they are so absorbed in survival. You can do both if you prioritize your time well and don't screw around. You gotta get serious about each in turn. Set your goals and then work towards them. -

Do what you think is right. But this is irrelevant anything I said. Being nice to others is relatively good. That's so obvious I don't even say it. Do you really need me to tell you to not be an asshole? -

You can recognize the horror of it and accept that horror is part of Infinity. I invite you to prove me wrong. Realizing that God is love cannot happen through human reasoning, you must enter a higher state of consciousness and then it is so obvious you will roll around laughing. You can't be at peace from the default human state of consciousness. A change in your state is the missing key. -

Consciousness is not a substance. -

Maybe you should question your assumption that every enlightenment is the same. -

God created darkness. God created rape. You can't escape that through any amount of mental acrobatics. God created rape. No way around that unless you deny rape exists. Rape exists absolutely. You chose to create rape. Not only am I saying God created rape, I am saying YOU created rape. No one else. You. So you have that to face. -

Then why did Ralston recently claim to have reached a new level of self-realization? -

If God didn't create evil, who did? If evil didn't need a creator then nothing else needs a creator either and God is useless. And if evil created itself, then it must be God, since anything powerful enough to create itself is God. -

Then you exist. -
Leo Gura replied to enchanted's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah, and they're both wrong. Which is why we are having this discussion, so that you don't end up like one of them. -

Then child rape doesn't exist, and you have nothing to complain about. The only way for child rape to exist is for you to exist, since you are creating it. -
Leo Gura replied to enchanted's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Anything that exists must be God's Creation, by your own definition, since if a thing could exist without needing God to create it, then everything could exist without God, and thus God would not be the creator of anything. -
Leo Gura replied to enchanted's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Here's an extremely simple proof that will stump any theist: 1) God exists 2) Child rape exists 3) God is Creator of the Universe Conclusion: God created child rape. There is zero argument with this logic. The only thing you can do is to deny that God exists. But God obviously exists. Now, here's the trick you're missing: you honestly believe that you are wise enough to judge God's Creation. There are only two possibilies here: 1) You are wrong for judging God. 2) God is wrong for creating child rape. Which do you think it is? -

Sure. But you have to accept that love and abuse are deeply interconnected. There are many abusive and selfish forms of love. Your parents can love you and abuse you at the same time. Love is not all rainbows and butterflies. This is a childish notion of love. -
Leo Gura replied to enchanted's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
No, that's not what I mean by existential truth. Evil is imaginary. That's the existenial insight you are missing. Because that is what is existentially true. Of course evil is love. It must be. Because everything is One. No. God literally invented rape. Again, you are fixated on human survival. I am not talking about what is good or bad for human survival. That is irrelevant here. Sure. But so what? This did nothing to increase your understanding of reality. It's as if we are having a philosophical discussion and you tell me you need to take a shit really bad. Okay, go take a shit. But you have made no progress in philosophy. -
Israel-Palestine will not be fixed by any amount of videos.

You guys should distinguish between existential truths vs human survival. What is useful for human survival has nothing to do with what is existentially true. If you want to understand God you will have to surrender all your human survival demands. Abuse is def not good for human survival, but that is irrelevant from God's POV. Humans behave in all sorts of nasty ways, makes zero difference to God. You should make up your mind whether you actually care about understanding God or you care about being a human. Because these are opposite pursuits. -
Leo Gura replied to enchanted's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
If you follow my work then you should know that obviously I recommend the opposite. There is no existential difference between hate, abuse, and anything else. You are the problem. I was not abused. Everything is love, if you just take your ego out of it. If you regard sex with adults as love, obviously sex with children is also love. Just notice your biases. -
That's what I hate about this whole debate. There are clearly valid and important criticisms of Zionist devilry, yet Zionists play these stupid games like all of that is Holocaust 2.0. It's just so intellectually dishonest and gross. And at the same time real antisemitism like Dan Billzarian or Kanye West and Nick Fuentez is real and gross too. Everyone is acting stupid in this game of finger-pointing, creating a bunch of noise and dust which lead to no solutions.
