That is the mark of a true sage / yogi / philosopher / saint / mystic. We are a rare breed. But the best breed

My kinda folk For sho. Not any of the nondual guys. New Agers probably.

When it comes to Awakening, mostly what it does is add beauty and depth to life. That is the key improvement. Improving your behavior and the like is not automatic, that requires serious work, and unless your behavior is awful then perfecting it will not necessarily make you much happier. Taking a bunch of chemicals is not gonna make you a good person by itself. The real reward of this work is the raw understanding itself. When you understand what reality is, that is the greatest joy. And then you see that in every direction you look. Life shines with Beauty and that is true happiness. Sorta like when you were a kid. Everything shined. Qualitatively, you sit on your couch amazed at the Beauty of it all. I've achieved a lot of material improvements in my life, but nothing beats that. Awakening teaches you how to just sit and be amazed by nothing fancy. Existence becomes an actual miracle.

This work is not something you really have a choice about if you value metaphysical depth. You just follow the metaphysical depth and it takes you wherever it takes you. Of course. My life would be easy if I did not put so much pressure to improve myself. Yes, I get it. That's important to do. That's okay. It all starts by following that intuition -- love of philosophy and metaphysical depth. Well, I suggest you do at least one psychedelic trip to pop your cherry and get a preview of where this work leads. That will be very exciting and inspiring for you. You want fuel for you vision. I spent 5 years building a business just to allow me to have time to do personal development stuff. And I invested years building up infrastructure to allow me to have to freedoms that I have now. Without that no spirituality would have been possible for me. But I didn't even know about spirituality back then. All I knew is that I need complete control over my life and schedule. Max freedom. So I grinded to create it. At your age you know more about spirituality than I did. There is truth in that perspective too. But there is a big difference between casually washing some dishes vs having to grind through a bunch of business chores that clog up your mind ans distract you entirely from being conscious.

One thing you guys will learn is that life will force you to pick priorities. And I have picked mine. My priority is understanding and teaching people Consciousness. This required I sacrifice being nice and sweet to humans. It required that I not respect human ideas much. Which humans find extremely offensive and abusive. I can and will be respectful and nice to you, but only up to a point. And that point is Truth. If you cross the Truth line with me, you will get a verbal and emotional slapping. I think respect is a very important thing. However, I am not going to extend respect if Truth is being compromised. The real value of my leadership is the standard that I set for this work. The standard is raw Consciousness. The standard is not how sweet of a human being you make yourself. That is a different pursuit which is nice but often just confuses thing. Yes, my style is harsh at times. What I will make a commitment to, is to limit my dickishness as much as possible without sacrificing Truth. So I will remove all excess dickishness, but not more. In this thread the harshness comes out because the Truth was compromised by some folks. The things I do are complex. I myself struggle to understand them sometimes. But there is also a higher Intelligence at work here that I am following. There is a method to this madness. It is not just some petty ego thing. Ultimately my work will speak for itself. All these conversations are nice but this is not the work. The real point of note here is this: Stay humble and openminded about what you think Consciousness and God are. If you do that, I have no problem with you. If you think you are above that, then we got a problem. This was not a justification of myself to you, it was an inside look at how I understand my own behavior to myself. In case you were interested or confused about what the hell is going on. Please do not attack @Inliytened1 his heart is in the right place. If you want to do intelligent critiques of me, be my guest. But do not gaslight me about my understanding of Awakening and Consciousness. You want to criticize my style, my behavior, my views of women, that's all fair game.

Yeah, it sucks! I really hate chores because they are totally meaningless and shallow and distract me from metaphysical work. It's hard to say. It basically makes me not care about anything in this material world. It's hard to motivate myself to make money or even brush my teeth sometimes because it's all just bullshit. Some days it's just the grind of daily life and nothing spiritual is afoot. Other days I am racking my mind about how to raise my consciousness, how to embody this stuff, etc. Honestly it creates a lot of additional suffering. Life is much easier when you are not thinking so deep and just being a monkey. But there are also moments of transcendent beauty and appreciation for consciousness/reality because it is so profound. I'm making it sound kinda bleak but there is nothing better than Awakening. Nothing else in life matters. It's just not easy to integrate or live up to. It is a huge burden to live up to it. All the ego games are painful to observe in oneself. The ego-mind is still at work spinning its bullshit.

Try kicking it

Well, you see... there is where we sort the wheat from the chaff. Let's see. Let's see who's intelligent here.

Do not misunderstand... It's not that you cannot be as conscious as me. It's simply that you are too closedminded to do so. I warned you years ago to be openminded. And you've failed that simple thing. By pretending you understand what I teach. What I teach your mind cannot comprend. But you somehow have convinced yourselves that already know better than me. This is true arrogance, masquerading as your veneer of humility. I am arrogant because I had to be to cut through every shred of human spiritual bullshit. You have not done that. What you want from me is a sweet nice guy to makes you feel good. And that is what I will never be, by God's Design. Nobody, and I NOBODY here has a clue what God or Consciousness is. If you disagree. Leave. I am not here to teach imbiciles. I am only looking for one -- ONE -- intelligent mind to comprehend me. It will take you decades of work to understand. I see through all your games. Don't think for one second you are gonna sneak past my gaze. If you want traditonal spirituality, you are following the wrong guy. I will destroy your world. Which is why you play your games and act like my teachings are corrupt. The corrupt one, is you.

@Craigxt22 Def not

Games, games, games... Keep playing your games. You ain't foolin' me, only yourselves. The arrogance exists because you're infinitely more conscious than you. And you don't understand that. You actually believe we're equal. On the same field. You don't even know what field I'm on! You're kidding yourselves How can you believe this shit? It's so stupid to think you understand reality better than me. Are you fucking kidding??? Lol When you realize how stupid you were for doubting me, you'll shit yourself laughing. LEO!!!! OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!

@no_name Banned for being too stupid. If you want to critcitize me. Go ahead. But you better make it fucking intelligent. Not this trash.

Pipe down. I am saying things beyond your current capacity to understand. Do not think you are above me.

It's all about you. You are so full of shit The only thing you're doing here is illusion.

@no_name You are so stupid it hurts. But keep going. Make a fool of yourself. You think you are humble? You more arrogant than me. How dare you think for one second you are more conscious than me. You have to clue what Consciousness is! You are utterly full of shit. And I see through all of your games. The only reason I allow you here is out of LOVE. But you are too stupid to see the LOVE I gave you. And when you finally realize this, it will KILL YOU! Do not think for one second you understand me. The LOVE I gave you was impossible.

Eventually you reach a point where you are fully conscious of how you are imagining the entire universe and everyone in it.

So, further Awakenings will take you to realizations such as: You realize what the bubble of consciousness is, which is God You realize deeper what God is You realize what Absolute Truth is Your realize that the bubble is Nothing You realize Infinity You realize LOVE You realize Eternity You realize Intelligence You realize Perfection You realize how you are imagining everything around you, past and future You realize that you can flip through an infinite number of finite selves You realize that all others are you You realize what alien consciousness is You realize what insanity is You reach even deeper levels of no-self than you thought possible before You realize that there is an infinite different kinds of infinite love And more wacky shit beyond that These can come in any order, it is not a linear sequence.

@Optimized Life The key is to find 1 or 2 good wings. That is possible through some of these chats. You gotta sift through the bullshit and find the serious guys. They do exist on there. Of course it varies a lot city by city. Contact guys one-on-one, do not post in the general chat areas. Try looking for local forums. The RSDNation forum used to be the best resource for this. They had a sub-forum for literally every major city in the world and it was easy to find wings. Nowadays things are harder. That kind of community no longer exists. But you can do some deep googling and find scattered stuff. It will really depend on your city.

Definitely they share blame. Any woman who promises a guy sex to then leech his life savings is scum. The difference is that Tate is 36 and these women are in their early 20s. Women that young are so naive they are easily manipulated. He is the mastermind of this scam. He uses naive and weak women as pawns. We would love to see Tate Awaken. But that ain't happening.

That's like the early stages. It's good, don't get me wrong. Very good. Yes, you are the whole visual field. You are a bubble of consciousness. But there's much deeper stuff to awaken to. The nature of the bubble must be grasped in ever deeper ways.

@Something Funny Thanks. I appreciate the kind words.

The next time you suffer, pause in the middle of it and make the distinction in your direct experience between suffering consciousness vs unconsciously. Unconscious suffering is usually some kind of sneaky avoidance mechanism, like if you yell at someone or blame someone. Conscious suffering is to suffering and reflect on the root causes of the suffering. What lead you suffer? How is your ego-mind responsible? What have you been avoiding that lead up to it.

Feel the suffering of it, and then leverage that to resolve to never make the same mistake again. This is how you learn your biggest lessons, by fucking up. Don't waste a perfectly good fuck-up by not leveraging the emotional pain of it to grow.

You can search for countertop RO systems. They exist. They are usually smaller and less effective but still... Here's some examples: https://amzn.to/3j3ghHd https://amzn.to/3wtiI93

Haha And Jeffery Epstein was just an innocent guy. And even if that's true, lead is far from the only chemical of concern. The only thing that's trustworthy is a chemical assay of their chocolate.
