just had this insight: that whenever you have a thought or an emotion, the context of it doesn't matter, to find the underrooted problem of why it is, you must look into your human self and your human beliefs . However, the context doesn't matter to the truth. the belief is that, there is a seperate person and individual person who is capable of experiencing these thoughts and emotions , who is capable to interpret them through their own filter, justifications , morality , values, opinions for example "i am god" are you aware of the one saying "i am god" or are you claiming "i am god" as an intellectual fact, the subtlty of it is minimal but one i a thought , the other is an action saying i am god is itself part of the delusion, being aware of saying "i am god" as true nature is not but thats besides the point i'm trying to make its this identification that there is an "i" experiencing an object out there, a world, a universe, a song, for themselves, so basically to say anything is other than the one same thing is incorrect. there is still one who is experiencing "the thought of you thinking your an individidual self ,.who is having a thought that he is the greatest man in the world"

@Angelo John Gage I think you explained it very well, its said in a way that won't give too much ego backlash in your audience from my point of view. aswell as its clear. tell them to come join the community ahaha

@Highest enlightened guy smoking weed looool that just made my day. whats the point, there's no you there who's actually doing it. is this what your body-mind wants

@Preetom interesting , i like it. i guess its just better to stop it lol. thanks

@winterknight i think i underestimated how difficult this process actually is, thinking that one day ill find it and bang this whole journey would be over. but i think i myself need to learn more about this method itself , so i will certainly take you up on that offer.

@Preetom yup i right until the moment i can't and that would be enlightenment itself, i have a problem of needing to double check against someone elses experience all the time , so i don't get stuck in a ditch and have to spend 2 years lost in a delusion.

@Preetom i don't do it to see if i'm correct and its the final reality i do it because if the other person can understand it and be like yeah i know what you mean, here s where you go next or so the other person can tell me if i'm wrong but yeah ive given up with intellectualising, i'm happy with where i'm at. just doing the practices only now

@winterknight yeah i see where i went wrong .. when asked who is the one asking saying i is the one who is everything or coming up with a written answer is just the activity of the mind which i didn't realise i was witness to so it was a fake finishing using words, i didn't actually experience it in my direct experience i have gone deeper though since i've taken myself off this belief track and understood the importance of holding the "i" but its really difficult when there is nothing in me that represents me , the only way i can express it was , it was like smoke inside my body, except the smoke was not in the material world then there was this kinda world started to form after i focused more where i was in a constant state of experiencing things, detached from what ever was happening in my body. but i still have doubts, so its as you said i will continue until i'm sure, plus i've kinda started enjoy doing it, do most people normally do self-inquiry with their eyes open or closed? before this i was doing a neti neti style self-inquiry but then i realised the limitations of it if you don't know what to think is you next, its like a methodical approach. whilst this time, i just hold onto what i feel is I and just inquiring into where it is, what is it, and whom. the neti neti style i did with my eyes open and normal self-inquiry i do with my eyes closed.

@Mu_ i lived that university/ teenage lifestyle to the max , that's when i realised that my whole human body system is neurotic and addicted to many things, so i dropped all my hobbies and what i thought were my enjoyments to become enlightened for now. i have a problem of over indulging in activities after ive chosen one without doing the things that are actually important aka procrastinating. so i figured it would be best to do this however, its been 2 years, i've only made slight progress in my neurotic system but my monkey mind that was attached to how reality works (which has been my hobby for the last six years, figuring out how reality works) has slowed down since i've found answers. i've been thinking what i want to do with my sprituality life now and i think most of the intellectual groundwork has been laid, so i'm just going to enjoy doing the practice until i can realise true self properly and stick to it. [ especially useful that you can't get there with the mind] therefore, its kinda like i'm giving it a break since i've been at it hardcore with monkey mind, and now i can actually need doing the things i need to do. which means i can pick up habits again but healthy ones this time after i sort out my normal life. but even if i'm done thinking about enlightenment and reality, i still have to figure out what i want to do with my life and what sort of business i want to start, so more practical thinking and book reads. sometimes i wish i didn't even know about spirituality and the truth, because of how much effort you have to put in to reach enlightenment, but i figured my 40 year old self would be happy if i just did it now rather than then, i feel like you have no choice but to go forward with it once you've established a correct understanding what about you? are you just going to make videos for now

i do not believe the i sensation is my neurones, brain, body or anything material. even the fact it is immaterial is only a thought i'm not sure about the i sensation not being in my body, is that just a thought or is it actually located within my human form every time i try to inquiry about the i sensation localised awareness i can't locate it as its not coming from anywhere specifically, it feels like non existant smoke in the body which moves then sometimes feels like its in my head

because i experienced it in my self-inquiry, theres no identification to the words , the letter a is the same the letter g or h . its like the true is nothing to do with witnessing or being aware of thoughts, meanings its like disidentification into being nothing

@FoxFoxFox @David Hammond is the difference like this witnessing a thought ---) awarness of no thought, awareness of thought, awareness of no thought again <-> the slight identification is that there is still a thought and that is happening and someone is aware of it then complete disconnection ----> no-thing happening, its not even awareness of something, the thought never even happened

@Highest so words are completely hollow to yourself

@Dumb Enlightened but there is still that which is aware or experiencing, not an indiviual self, but EXPERIENCE itself!

@Highest self-inquiry 3 of today results: absolutely no -thing - the awarness of everything, the individual (i) can't SEEK to find the location of awareness because it, itself IS awareness of: awareness of thought, mind, body, sensations, everything you must BE the complete detachment of everything because it is not you. the individual self seek is a THOUGHT itself, which YOU are aware of , it is not I but IS

@Dumb Enlightened then where did you go from there, i slightly went in that direction,but the insight never stuck

i'm not gonna lie, i don't think they know what they're talking about when it comes to enlightenment, its just general things. like i don't think theres any enlightened people on it. but i'm not gonna slate it for that, i like having a membership just to visit it once in a while and there are some really spiritual documentaries on there i enjoy watching once in a while

@Mu_ thats what it meant to be right, after the human identification is gone and you realise your awareness, true there are no problems in the world equally there is no problem more important than the other because all human problems are false because they all experience the problem of being a human concept, therefore makes them all important aswell.

background i think once in a while its good to have a reality check and see if there's anyway we can make things better as a community. ever since leo's last video, the number of dividing views and different opinions has dramatically increased. i think the biggest one that people would like to address is people's beliefs in leo's awakenings and advitta trappings. so to have a systemised structure to viewcase everyones opinions, if they would like to participate in this thread. could you write the following : a) the problem in a simple statement followed by b) why you think its a problem c) solutions to the problems

its ironic when the veil of illusion is lifted and you arrive back at "you are god" when you look at emotions you are not an entity (i) experiencing emotions you are that emotion you are love itself, but how do you grow it, like how do you bring it back from your true self and embody it through your human vessel?

i think i understand surrender now, when adyshanti said he was meditating trying to become enlightened, something happened and he opened his eyes and looked at his buddah statue and laughed and said all these years ive been trying to catch you there are conditions you must follow a) the mind must be silent b) the world of form must go, moreover the belief there is a universe c) the identification an i by the mind d) the surrender of self e) the person seeking f) all knowledge must be surrendered h) you have to become the thing you are not objectify it i) a massive resolve to surrender self and never return j) all theories of enlightenment must be thrown out k) the thought that "i will become enlightened"

@FoxFoxFox I Just think i sensed the energy of the witnesser, thats what the true self just felt like, one giant ball of energy

@FoxFoxFox @Highest okay after evaluating all questions layed before both of you after my awakening its obvious to me now the mind can only gather concepts the only truth is: I AM THE WITNESSING (VERBING)

@Highest i see so its a belief to think that these things will dissolve away immediately, and therefore all that's left to do is become conscious of it, and everything as god without laying identification markers everywhere so an enlightened person can be blissful and conscious their human being is sad and miserable at the same time ? like can i be blissful and my human still hate and call another human stupid and silly

@Preetom @Highest i see because of the bliss , so a person can be blissful and crying aswell as blissful and angry at a dog
