Sempiternity

I sure hope so. I'm so ready for it.

I'm about 15 minutes in. Having a defeatist thought. If achieving full enlightenment is like winning the Lotto, one in millions chances on it happening, and even Leo can't get there, then what hope is there for me to achieve it? I could spend the rest of my life trying and always feeling like I am failing to reach this highest of states, or I can spend the rest of my life feeding my Ego for happiness. Neither sounds like a solid plan. Again just a thought.

This may explain it all.

Your mind, your body, every person, the world, the universe, physics, time and space, all are part of the illusion. All there is is consciousness.

Only in Enlightenment circles would saying "I really hope you kill yourself" be the greatest compliment you could say to someone, where in any other social circle it would be the greatest insult.

Try Meditation.. it's not what you think badum dum tss

Two friends meet for coffee to catch up: “How are you?” one asks. The other replies: “I’m fine, thanks, but I'm still unemployed.” First friend: “Have you tried Meditating?” “Meditating? What’s that?” “I don’t know, but it’s better than sitting around doing nothing!”

Have you heard of the cow who attained liberation and was viewed as a Zen idol? It was dyslexic and kept on repeating OOOOMMM !

How Spiritually Enlightened are you? If.... If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining, If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, If you can be empathetic to other's plights, and never take anything personally, If you can face the world without lies and deceit, If you can relax or have fun without the need for liquor, If you can go through life without using drugs to numb your emotional pain, If you can be present every moment, not suffering from anything from the past, If you can be happy, despite whatever goes on around you, If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics, --Then you have almost reached the same level of spiritual development as your dog!

Oops, my bad. Sorry.

Maybe just buy the list? It's only $35. Support Leo. He does so much for no money.

Watch more of Leo's videos and do the self-inquiry work. You and everyone in your family are the same thing, which is consciousness, which is nothingness. You are you family and they are you. For you to hurt your family, is for you to hurt yourself, and vice versa. Coming from this perspective, there is nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. When you are with your family, think of it as like watching a movie. You are the observer, that has no stakes in what your watching. The objects and people on the screen are not real, they are just light projected on the screen. You (your ego) is also one of the characters up there on the screen. You too do not really exist and are the same thing as the other characters, which are all just light projected on the screen. You, the observer, wouldn't get angry, or offended, or hurt, by what the characters on the screen are doing and saying. So come with this perspective. Nothing anyone says or does in your family has any meaning. They're all just light projected on a screen, as are you, and it's all just light (consciousness), which is meaningless. Just sit back and enjoy the show you're watching

My only goal for the rest of my life is to 'Kill Myself'. There is no greater gift, than to be free from Ego. Yes that's me. I use to be a high end fashion designer and performer. I did major festivals, fashion shows, stadium concerts and all that. Up on a stage in front of tens of thousands. But it was a world of Ego. I gave it all up to become Enlightened. So that was me a couple years ago. Now I don't care what I look like.

From what I understand of Awakenings, that is a good sign. The goal is to die. The fear of dying is what is holding you back from truly and fully Awakening. True Enlightenment is holding the gun to your head and having the balls to pull the trigger, knowing that your body won't die, but you'll wake up from the hell you're living in and into heaven. But again, to get there you have to have the courage to kill yourself. But instead of a gun which is quick, it's a thousand times worse, as you are killing yourself (your Ego) layer by layer, little by little. So don't shy away from that feeling of dying, relish it. Learn to love it. In a way, become suicidal. Become giddy at the thought of finally killing yourself. Knowing on the other side of your Ego's death is your true Self, which is the deepest peace, love, gratitude, and contentment far beyond what you could ever imagine. It's by far worth the pain of 'dying'.

From what I understand of Enlightenment/Truth/God. All there is is right Now. Space, time, the universe, you and everyone else is the dream of Infinite Consciousness, that is all happening only Now. Your awareness is you being this infinite consciousness. All you are is this awareness. So there is no such this as subconscious or unconscious, only consciousness. This dream that we call reality is ever changing and has a set of rules. When you are 'awake' that is what is happening in this dream Now. When you are 'asleep' and dreaming, that is what is happening within the consciousness Now. It's all the same thing (which is also nothing), it's ALL a dream. When you are 'asleep and dreaming', consciousness creates a whole universe with its own set of rules, just like when you are 'awake' consciousness creates a whole universe with its own set of rules. Only none of it actually exists. It's all a dream made up by Nothing. Now here is where it gets really trippy. If there is no time, all your memories, dreams, the whole universe, everything that has ever happen in your life, is all happening right Now. There is nothing else than Now. Try wrapping your head around that

Are you saving that for a future video or don't plan on saying?

@Leo Gura In your 30 day retreat blog videos you said there was a substance that took you even deeper than 5-MeO, but wouldn't state what it was, saying you would at another time. Have you since stated what that substance was? I had heard that 5-MeO was the best direct way to Truth/God/Enlightenment, but if there is something even better to use I am extremely interested.

@Leo Gura Not saying I'm anywhere near yellow, but the arguing and large egos wanting to comment on everything does make the forum difficult. I personally rarely comment, cause I usually just get ego responses. It can be frustrating. If it was a truly a forum for enlightened people, or people on a dedicated path to enlightenment, and not just everyone with their opinions about everything, then I'm sure more 'yellow' people would comment.

I'm trying to find a source of 5-MeO. But I highly suggest Aya to you. I could tell stories all day about my experience. Very profound. I'm excited to see if 5-MeO is similar. Only problem with Aya is doing it in a ceremony. Too much distractions. I want to go on the journey at home with no distractions to as deep as possible.

@Leo Gura Leo, what's the benefit differences between 5-MeO DMT and Ayahuasca? I've done Ayahuasca (which I loved!) and smoked DMT (which I hated). Have not tried 5 MeO DMT yet.

So you're enlightened and express that by coming to a forum of people trying to find their way and punk them for your enjoyment?

You claim to be Enlightened, yet spend your time frequently arguing with people on a forum. Maybe you're the deluded one? And again, another thread Leo has to lock out cause of all your fighting to be right and feeding your Egos.

I know it's ultimately up to me. Just think it would be helpful to have someone to guide and support. That's a good idea on nondual spiritual gatherings. I wonder if there are any in my area. I'll research that. Thanks!

I know it is a personal inward journey to truly realize what I've always been. But it can take thousands of hours. And I could potentially spend the rest of my life working as hard as I can and sill not reach enlightenment. There are so many traps to fall into to prevent progress. It would help greatly to have a teacher or coach to help guide me through the journey. To push me further than I could on my own. Someone already enlightened, that helps others through the journey. No woowoo or dogma based practices. Just straightforward hard work. Teaching what Leo teaches. Does anyone know of any teacher/coaches that specialize in guiding people to enlightenment? I live in Seattle WA and would love to work with someone here, but would be willing to travel if the coach was the real deal and could actually help me in my path. Thanks for suggestions.

Anyone reading this, if you're not actually answering the questions posed, please just refrain from commenting. I'm looking for actual helpful feedback, not starting discussions. Thank you.
