Galyna

@Leo Gura I have been sitting with this message for some time, and I finally feel ready to write it. It has been ten years since I first encountered your work, around 2014- 2015. Looking back now, with distance and clarity, I can say without exaggeration that your presence and teachings were one of the most significant forces in my life and in my path. Over the years, I met many teachers. Some helped me with practices for the body, others with techniques for the mind. Yet what has become unmistakably clear to me is this: every new teacher I encountered was, in essence, pointing to truths I had already learned from you on a YouTube, sometimes in softer language, sometimes in more spiritual packaging, but never with the same precision. What you gave me was something far more fundamental than information. The greatest gift you gave me was integrity. You taught me how to be radically honest with myself. Not morally honest, not socially honest but existentially honest. You taught me how to see the tricks of the mind, how the ego lies to itself, how it rationalizes, manipulates, spiritualizes, and escapes. This ability to see clearly, without self-deception, is the most valuable thing I have ever learned. You don’t just teach — you have a gift. A rare one. The gift of helping people see the ego games. Your work did not comfort my ego. It confronted it. Your videos tore through the self-deceptions again and again. Pieces of the ego were pulled out, sometimes painfully, sometimes violently but always truthfully. The way you challenge the ego is unlike anything I have seen. No teacher I’ve encountered has the same capacity to strike directly at the core of self-deception the way you do. I spent seven years 2015-2022 deeply immersed in your work: seven years on your channel, and those years were among the most precious years of my life. Without them, I would never have gone further. I would never have begun serious practice: Abiding in the “I Am”, concentration, atma vichara etc and many others. At some point, something irreversible happened. I became so honest with myself that I can no longer undo what you and others taught me. There is no way back into unconscious self-deception. That line, once crossed, cannot be uncrossed. Only because of your work was I able to clearly see that there are two levels: the conceptual and the being-level. Without you, I would have remained imprisoned in conceptual understanding, trapped in the mental and egoic cage, believing I am a regular human being. As Nisargadatta Maharaj one said: “Nothing ever happened. There was no creation, no world, no life, no individual. It is all just a dream appearing in consciousness.” Your work is invaluable. I truly believe it will stand as a contribution to human awakening and understanding far beyond this moment in time. With profound gratitude and respect. P.S. Ultimately, there is no Leo and no Galyna as separate entities. This post exists solely as an encouragement for younger and more mature minds alike to question deeply, to reflect honestly, and to consider a real inner shift.

At some point you start to ignore “the voice” and go opposite. Once you see the reality, it becomes obvious to you. You won’t have life any longer. But before this, first you do what is uncomfortable for the ego. This is the only mechanism to weaken the mind game. I will never forget Leo’s words: “ you have to become extraordinary human losing your humanity to absolute Truth”. This work is by far the most challenging a human can anticipate. Therefore, only 0.01% of people go beyond and above conceptual knowledge and transcend the idea life, death, world and creation. Why? Because knowledge and conceptual thinking form the very premise of “Life”. Funny huh? 😆 But the mind doesn’t have any other tools except thinking to get “there”, so it never will. Never Will! 🙂☺️

Hello guys, I have not posted here for a long time…. I am falling in the same recurring life situation… It feels like I am playing a video game and can’t go through the same level and I can’t pass it to go onto the next one. I absolutely understand that there is some mystical lesson for me here to learn that I have to realize myself. I don’t blame obstacles or people but quite frankly I am tired…I am stuck and I want a progress.

Hey Friendo, I know, right. It has been a while since I post anything here. Thanks for asking. I am fine. 😇 no, I am not taking about specific role models. Yeah. This is so strange: people change but the situation copies itself with a striking familiarity. I know my forum friends would tell me that it is an energy but not the situation and/or people. Energy that is stuck and unresolved. I am ready for a closure… How are you’ve been?

Every young person must watch how FB and insta manipulates you, by knowing your basic needs: connecting to others.

@Spiritual Warrior we can use it, but you have to be smart about it.

@Davino @Yimpa I don’t have anything against other people taking psychedelics. Have fun if you want. I don’t judge. I don’t even care to judge, everything has a place to be, reality unfolds infinitely but this is a dream. You misunderstood my post. I said there is no one in reality to alter their mental state. YOU DONT EXIST! I am going to make a big post about last step realization. You as an entity don’t exist on the level you think you do. You don’t exist on any level. Not as a God, not as a human being. Leo has already given a hint (his post below), but people don’t want to see or listen, they just follow the spiritual crowd who claimed to reach enlightenment through some sort of substance of any kind. Really? Seriously? 😂 Image a cartoon character who tries to escape the tv screen. So he thinks he can have any break through by exiting reality and jumping out from the tv screen. He takes psychedelic for this. But the trick is…… He is a bunch of pixels on a screen (emerging phenomena: five senses “makes” you a human being). Human is illusion. Enlightenment is the greatest illusion. There is no one here to get enlightened. Do you realize it? Do you think by taking a drug you can alter reality and become your true nature! Really? You are NOT real in the first place. You don’t exist. This is a dream, my friends, wake up. Please wake up! There is no way out nor way in. No matter what you take, how long you meditate. You won’t reach enlightenment. You are a fiction, a figment of the imagination, call it consciousness. There is no consciousness as well. Words, bunch of words. None of the words ever describe reality. Enlightenment only happens when this “blind spot” sees itself for what it is. It is a fluke luck. Awareness becomes aware of itself. I don’t know what else to say, all words are not the truth just the pointers. Good pointer: a twister. 🌪️ Human is a twister. It is not real. There is void inside and a lot of emergent phenomenon circling around the focal point. This self “you are experiencing” doesn’t exist but only arises ( the greatest illusion of all) only because of the thinking process and feelings/perceptions that create this feeling of some sort of a human being. So yeah, go ahead and take a psychedelic: but remember anything you do, there is still You/I/Me in this equation.

But coffee doesn’t change conscious level as much as alcohol, or drugs or psychedelics. Not as drastically at least. Do you agree?

There is none here who needs to alter his consciousness with drugs. If you don’t see it, you will be stuck in a mind’s paradigm. no drug needed for realization.

Yeah I was talking sboht HIIT 30 min plus strength training with weights during 25 min. (1h total) not for body mass or anything crazy like this, but for a muscle tone. Another important thing to remember is never skipping a day for meditation, otherwise you will have to start over again, it is important to gain momentum…. Nice advice. Thank you! Never heard about triphala and neem! I am not sure if Europeans have heard of these neem leaves ….

@Davino Yesterday I was meditating for one hour. Mind became completely blank with a razor sharp awareness. But what I saw in that state was beyond my comprehension. I was falling into fractals too. Like an infinite regression, also I have noticed various dark green circles. They were sucking my awareness into a black whole. The problem is I could only “fall” for 1h, body is not trained to sit that long, I have various sensations that throw me out from the meditative state. My goal is to train my body three times a week in a gym so it could be very enduring. Plus food, I am going to eat less meat of any kind. No alcohol, no sugar, no coffee. Thank you. P.S. I don’t take any substances. I tried golden mushrooms two times but I like it without anything, clean clear awareness.

@Yimpa thanks 🙏

Waking up in the morning, memory “crumbs” are in your head: events, people, situations. Yesterday’s gone and is not even real. Yesterday has never happened, and you are creating it right at this second. You think time exists. No! It gently drowns in YOU, drop by drop. You are the Time yourself, just do not realize it, yet! Balancing on the brink of an abyss between Absolute and relative. You choose whether to play a human character or drop it, and just be in silence. Gentle presence envelops your being, coming from the inside; it radiates and permeates the whole space you are in. NOW! Tiny golden specks of dust are spinning around, reflecting and blazing the light of the fiery sunrise. White feather wings that grew behind your back have disappeared. Last spring and bird’s singing, when you were in love, are echoing in your mind as a sweet melody. Flashbacks again. Fatigue or maybe a melancholy are set as a tender background. Egocentric mind is pulling you in, craving for the human’s drama. And as you walk near the abyss, step by step, you are losing the balance. Illusion will suck you in like a twister, but you won’t ever notice. Resting as awareness, at the same time, every move you make is creating a human. Passionate human being who is fighting for the right to be, fighting with its shadow. You do not want to die, by dissolving in this soft ecstasy. You are choosing suffering over a peace, continuing this silly laughable game, which you call “Life”. Holding on so strong. Let go, my friend! Just let go. You are not in control, nor ever been. This race is going to wear you off, age you. And one day you’ll die to this Being, this is going to be your great reset, your start to a new infinite Beginning. Let go...

@AerisVahnEphelia same to you ❤️🧘🙏

@AmandaPanda you are so welcome 💫🥰.

@Someone here I know this feeling…. I understand you. 😞

Found this piece of music by Carlos Gardel (1935). It is so amazing how sensual, dramatic and touchy a sound can be. You image love, man and woman and their personal drama. Nothing can express feelings better than sound. There is a whole pallet of emotions in this beautiful masterpiece. "Gardel is the most famous popular tango singer of all time and is recognized throughout the world. He was known for his rich voice and dramatic phrasing. Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos. He was one of the most influential interpreters of world popular music in the first half of the 20th century."

Contemplation is a wonderful method. Absolutely 100% Leo is correct.

@Rishabh R Then it is not a true insight, it is your conceptual thinking. It is like a puzzle and when you integrate it, everything comes to the places it should be, it is re-contextualizes you as a Being. Do you understand? do you remember this toy? Transformer? This is how real insight feels like. Comparatively speaking, you were a truck and have become a robot. Do you see the difference, you can not believe in it, you see it, it is very obvious right now. Hope it helps...

@Rishabh R Something which is obvious does not need a faith.

@Rishabh R Believing implies FAITH, knowing is a realization.

@Rishabh R wow, nice wonderful....some of them look like insights to me. Please remember that an insight becomes the insight at the moment when you do not need to validate it anymore, it is an inner knowing.

@Rishabh R only you can know. I can not say this, it depends on the nature of the subject. Share some, maybe, here....

@Rishabh R @Rishabh R That is right, some come intuitively ( as you said they hit you out of nowhere), these are real insights, another (250) are just a conceptual thinking. Pay attention to those that come spontaneously.

@Rishabh R I wrote this yesterday in another thread:
