Leo is now on a 30 days retreat in solitude in his home in Vegas. What if he like to do something else this very day? Shouldn't meditation be a spontaneous thing that just happens? On your way home from work, when you are driving your car, when you take a bath, when you sit down quietly, when you listening to music. When thought are free and almost stops in a blissful feeling, that is meditation to me, and it happens spontaneous. Contemplation of our true nature should be like the best party you can go to, it should be a party where you are free to enter and leave when ever you like. Out of intuition in the NOW. I think we almost disrespect the beautiful divine nature that we are when we discipline ourself to penetrate the source. Let it happen when ever it happen, don't let your small self interfere with the blessing of travelling in your divine source. Just my two cents.

Like becoming more evolved then others or becoming more interesting to others? Or maybe some narcissistic idea that you are a diamond that you like to brighten, to burnish, to finish? Or is it a pure curiosity thing, and an honest quest for happiness for you(and others)?

Yup, thanks god there is no such thing as a small self. Otherwise you would probably hurt that entity with your flawless statements. I guess Leo do what's best for him. To me it looks like he is hard on himself sometimes, but that's just my perspective, which shouldn't be projected upon anyone else.

@tsuki You're right, as always! Any argument collapse when you look a little bit deeper, specially those of mine!

Haha

Some smart dudes here at actualised.org, great and nuanced answer! Thanks!

Have you noticed that space is a more difficult concept to wrap your mind around compare to time? After all we don't experience different "now" at the moment. Right now, there is just one "now", that we all share. No one is living outside of the now, in the past or future. Time is more intuitive Then space, you can almost sence the truth of "time" - that time is nothing but an eternal neverending now. Space seem more difficult get a firm grip on. We don't share the same "here".(only the same "now) One wise man Said once.. TIME is eternity filtered through thoughts, and SPACE is infinity filtered through perception. What does that even suppose to mean? Also, is there a smallest lenght of space? Like a derivative of the "planc lenght" for example? Maybe the loop quantum gravity creates smallest "distance" in space? Or is it possible to zoom in for ever in space? That means that even the smallest space we can imagine can be a gigantic galaxy from another perspective within that sub space? Space is an illusion just like time from an absolute point of view. But as soon as we see space from the slighest relative perspective, it becomes so mysterious, don't you think? Why is Leo's "here"(LAS VEGAS) so very distant from me when his "now"(time) is always the same as mine. The illusion of space seem so convincing. What can we really say about it? ?

It was sarcasm in order to catch attention. Of course it's foolish to speak about an elite, spirituality is absence of elites by its very definition. I think it's equally foolish to be sarcastic though. The questions are valid, but the thread in its whole is crap I guess. Sometimes I rebell against consensus and all the sweet talk in here, all beautiful and wise words. But again, why rebel against that? Truth is about big words, we are indeed eternal and infinite impersonal consciousness, and that's beautiful, isn't it?

I watched todays video with Mooji. In the end when Mooji is about to leave, his devotes really behave awkvard, like he is a God or something. Different people have different tasks, one puts on his shoes when he is about to leave the building, one is holding his hand and leed him to some sort of pope mobil, lol. And a driver of that pope mobil is ready to drive as soon Mooji place his ass in it. And all people wawe their hands and show their appreciation in a very devote way as Mooji leave the place. Also, there are photographs with papaji and Maharashi, and Mooji kiss Them on his way out. Somehow it all feels a bit awkward?

@99alvarosanchez Remember, you are not allowed to shine with a perfect soul in society. Love has no place and wisdom is thrown in jail, methaphorically speaking. Society smached that Beautiful feeling of yours in a subtle way. You stand out when you find truth, and Thus you don't fit in to society anymore. As a result both you(sub consciously) and society start to motivate you to do reverse consciousness work, to lower your awareness back to "normal" again. Sub consciously you are encurraged by your surrounding to become mediocre again in order to have things back to "normality" again.

I guess. But a pope mobile aura! ?

@Martin123 No hate on Mooji, just some reflections. Big question though, where can I get one of those "pope mobils" for myself. I'll will drive it through my local town while claiming I am God and let random people kiss my feets. If I have no ego, I'm sure I can handle an egoboast like that! ??

I like him, but it's just the weird rutines, in the video from today a women on her knees put shoes onto mooji feets when he leaves the building, and all people stand in a perfect lane that Mooji walks through and randomly hug a few of them. Their devotion reminds me of a cult. Btw, I think your link was wrong, there was anorher video from today where you can see all for yourself at the end.

Good question! I guess it's because I feel Mooji is such a good teacher, and I find it strange that he seem to enjoy that his followers are devote to a degree of being sheeps. And the rutine with people that kiss his feets and the use of popemobil. It doesn't feel spontanious and loving in an honest way. But who am I to judge! Mooji is very good, and very warm hearted in his teachings. It's only the cult and rutines around him that feel strange.

I don't know how to share videos with my smartphone. Maybe, someone can help me? It's his latest youtube video I refer to(latest minutes)

There was a survey on sexual knowledge carried out by some people in Sweden. One question was if they know what a so called "golden shower" is? It showed that nearly Everyone know what it is, like 90%. And the Survey didn't discriminate any group, a lot of old people were asked as Well, some very old. Also, This was in Sweden only(not a native english country) Two girls spoked about This on radio, how awkward that is, that nearly Everyone know(although a majority would Not enjoy the practice themselves, that goes with out saying) But aren't our minds more dirty Then we think in general, given how familiar most people are with sexual terms that you never heard of in Sweden if you aren't curios and search for sexual contents on the internet for example. Both girls on the radioshow askes their patents if they know, and they did, which they giggled about and told how odd it felt to understand that their innocent parentes know names for pervert games that they themselves barely know. ?

Every teacher today push strict nonduality, no such thing as a personal soul. Most of us feel that we have a soul, even though we don't believe in such an entity. I am a strict nonduality beleiver as Well. But isn't it strange that there is no alternative spiritual narrative, just like in religion, where Islam and Christianity are huge movements along with other big religions. After all, individual souls might be possible within nonduality, think about it ONE being that split itself up in infinite eternal souls. But no major spiritual movement push This narrative. We are not bodies, But we might have a soul that temporarily inbhabits one body at the time. Not that I beleive in that. But the consensus paradigm in spirituality seem so dominating. No debate really, only different names for the same thing, Brahman, infinity, nonduality, oneness, etc. Isn't This strange? Could it be that the strict nondual narrative that Leo, Rupert Spira, Martin Ball push is a trend and that the future might offer more colorful approaches including privata souls for example?

I'm here because I truly admire Leo's work. But not even he is the most positive here. I guess that comes with responsibility and the moderator status. You can't afford to be overly tolerant and positive. Some members here are amazing when it comes to positive attitudes. They are soft spoken, always well tempered, and never goes into argument. Precisely these people also present statements from time to time that seem so clear, genius and simple. Could it be that your very attitude to life deside how deep understanding you access? Like if reality only reviele the deepest secrets to the most loving, friendly, positive and caring people? Barna is one user here that got these traits, another one is Pluto. And also Dodo has these kind of easy going qualities. What do you think? Insights correlates to how gentle, kind and softly speaking you are?

I love freedom more then anything else. Is it ok to break social contacts with family and frends to cultivate This longing for freedom. When I'm in contact with pure sourse, I feel too happy to defind myself as a son, Brother etcetera. I like to be present in the now, without obligations to others. I Love people though, always friendly and loving. But I hate to be defind or defind myself or others. Osho Said at one point that he had been nothing for 23 years, I Love that qoute. I touch This feeling and insight of being nothingness every now and Then. I would Love to be total free, and rest in intuition and nothingness, transcendending oneself that is. Many of you can probably combine This with close connection to friends/family. But I Love integrity, I Love to live "secretly" where no one knows what I'm up to, not even me "myself" Can anyone relate, and is it ok to break contact because you Love solitude and Love to go with intuition at all moments in life with a minimum of aspects that can interfere with that. Or is it ego? Despite I want to arrange my life to be in a state of no ego. It's tricky, But I like to really minimize mundane stuff in life and purify and rest in love/happiness every single moment.

Yup, That's how it goes!

So true!

Thank you! Always wise and comforting words from you! Gives me currage! I'll be brave enough to follow my heart! *love*
