@iboughtleosbooklist Yeah I get you, It wouldn't change anything on a day-to-day basis. However, I'd still like to know... you know?

Hey you guys, let’s all huddle up around the fire side and listen to your stories about God… like a small child who asks their father “Tell me about the olden times” or their mother “Tell me about the when you were younger” What’s the most warm, comforting and encouraging stories you can tell of your experience with God, being God, as God, to God? Yes of course, we are all God, but it’s not so obvious to all us (yet). And yes, maybe God can’t truly be fully communicated but please see my question here as if a child looks up to you and asks with gleaming and curious eyes… ”Tell me about God?” ?❤️

I don’t understand, what does the ultimate ideal we’re working towards look like? No attachments, no desires, no fear, no anger, no worldly possessions, basically become a monk, live in a cave, only meditate all day long and have no personality/ego? If that’s so, that sounds so boring and un creative. Aren’t good games supposed to be challenging but also FUN? This game seems to be all just hard. If that’s truly what it will take then okay, I’ll slowly work up to this but man it sounds so bland. Help me out here?

@BipolarGrowth Right I see, interesting stuff man, thanks for the replies! To me though this is definitely all at the level concepts and ideas. I have no idea (from my own experience) what anyone’s talking about tbh. I guess I’m gonna have walk my own path, follow what I’m called to and go from there!

@Leo Gura Yes, yes, yes! Thanks for clearing that up, I resonate with this way more. Peace brother ?

@Carl-Richard i like that

@BipolarGrowth Woah thanks for this, just watched the whole thing! So this basically promotes against psychedelics and more towards like a meditation approach. It almost refers to psychedelics as a distraction, what are your thoughts on this?

@Swarnim Interesting, thank you for the input. I feel like life (since it is such a creative being) would design the ultimate truth to be discovered through "creative" and "imaginative" ways. Yes, not just one way.

@Shin I'm definitely been very conditioned into that thinking from many traditional schools of thought and tbh even Leo's earlier teachings. What's the new and improved version?

@BipolarGrowth Thanks for this, it helped me <3

You Are God Title says it all

Ek ong kaar sata gura prassad = The creator and the creation are one. All is a blessing of the one creator Can imagine this would be great to listen whilst tripping Also, could save one from a bad trip perhaps.

Being moved to tears.

Wtf?

So great

@justfortoday Love that, thank you!

Fantastic narration of this report by Vivec!! Great job to all of you Here it is! -

Hey, I've been formulating/testing an alternative path to the truth (or at least a hypothesis which MAY lead to the truth, and I'm in the process of verifying it) *side note, I do not yet have a direct experience of God's existence - I have an intuition, but nothing concrete yet. But for the sake of this investigation, I am acting as if that's the case (just bc it seems right for some reason) Supposing God exists, and is infinitely loving, infinitely wise, intelligent, and creative (etc) - why, with all the wisdom and creative power would God only create 1 PATH towards discovering the truth? If this universe is INFINITE, goes on forever, and thus includes every single possibility - why in the fudgeasaurus rex would God design this beautiful earth, with fantastic creatures, wonderful art, adventurous landscapes, and millions of unique personality expressions - just to then place the 1 PATH towards truth - being e.g. "Sit in a cave for 10 years and meditate to reach enlightenment" (Enlightenment being synonymous with "The Truth" / "The Answer" etc. ) From my perspective, if God is infinitely creative then surely God would be creative enough to design unlimited, boundless and infinite ways towards the Truth. (It being the ultimate goal and all) For I, honestly have to deem it quite "uncreative" (sorry God) for a dimension such as here to have just one boring, linear and plain path towards the truth. In a world with such wonder and awe and things to do, adventures to be had - nah the way to reach the truth is forget all that, forget your unique and original character, forget your attachments, forget the mind - turn away from life, be super strict and chart this serious path towards "the answer". Here's the thing - It seems like there's a consensus within the spiritual community that to reach the truth it's all about this military, hard-nosed, strict and disciplined striving towards a treacherous mountain peak and if you don't basically become akin to a Buddhist Monk, ahhh well maybe in another 1 million lives you'll get to that point. Like jesssusssss! (sorry God) - surely you've created some other paths man. Seriously, in your infinite wisdom - could you have not created a path that involves a "playful" journey towards the truth. Like if you just completely yielded into a playful nature, became authentically childish (in the most positive meaning of the word) , found the fun and adventure in mundane life (like we did as kids), danced freely, laughed silly, made things, expressed ourselves and lived life as if it was our favorite video game? If we imagine the truth being in the center of a circle, and then lines from the outside towards the center represent paths towards the truth - We could imagine that "ONE" of those lines is the "Discplined af" path, which yeah - it does actually lead to the truth, let's say. However, why then wouldn't there be it's opposite? - and everything inbetween? Then the circle would basically have infinite lines coming from all angles and dimensions which all would lead to the truth. Like maybe there's a musician path, maybe there's a zookeeper path, maybe there's a coffee maker path and maybe an ingeneral "play" path. On the one hand, I love this idea and I want it to be true. Yet, I find it to be incredibly tempting and fertile ground for self-deception. For example, my ego tends to run with this idea and use it as an excuse to eat anything, game all day, smoke weed and have a "fun" time. But I still long to maybe extract some truth in what's being uttered here. If God is in this infinitely creative mode and is almost in a state of infinitely entertaining itself (in a cosmic fashion) - why can't there be an "entertaining" way to reach the truth? What's the entertaining, adventurous, playful, fun, immersive, fantastic, awesome and epic path? Why can't there be a path like that? If there is, I wanna find it. Because from the depths of my soul, my heart and whole being - the " super disciplined" and "hard hard work" approach is at incredible odds with my intuition. It does not work for me, it's miserable and vacuums the spontaneity and enjoyment out of life. Did no one ever become enlightened/ find the truth by playing? - What are your thoughts? Peace peace ?

Thank you, I needed to hear that. ?

Some more ways would be great. Or perhaps one needs to find them out for themselves. I shall see

@Leo Gura Roger that

So, if we’re living within infinity - does that mean that every single movie that has ever been created (on this earth) has actually happened/will happen at some point in another galaxy/ on another planet LITERALLY scene for scene and character for character??? And so you could say that when we are watching a movie we are literally watching what IS or WILL happen at some point and somewhere in this universe (NOW or Later)?? No matter how supernatural or far fetched??? Because anything conceivable is possible within infinity, because it’s got infinite potential?? Because if that’s so then FUCKKK Meeeee that’s awesomely scarily crazy —- like I’m watching Harry Potter and that actually is happening somewhere or will do?? Thoughts? thanks!

@Leo Gura Woah okay, so that movie's example wouldn't be a phenomenon? Is there a better way to describe infinity for a human mind to grasp? Appreciate the reply!

I’m not sure about you, but now as I'm a student of self-help junkie I come across sooooo much inspiring content & wisdom it’s unreal. Wouldn’t it be great to share all of that and actually inspire others with it? Here’s the idea - A place for anyone to share inspiration and wisdom they come across. I don't know whether it could be a website or something or facebook group but I'd just like your thoughts. Think of it as a ‘higher conscious’ social media feed - a much more productive place to spend your time on the internet. I don't want this to come across as self-promotion since I haven't even started yet, but if it's something that enough people give a fuck about then maybe it's worth starting up lol! Hypothetically, if this was a thing, would you be interested to join? What are our thoughts on the concept?
