@Serotoninluv Interesting story...Have you ever seen his video about masculinity vs. femininity? So what is your ideal partner, would you mind sharing? Like character traits, personality, physical appearance, life goals, etc?

Buckwheat :)

I have been contemplating this topic over five years now. It is so freaking deep. I only met one person on this forum that really understood the concept of real intimacy and sexuality. I wish from all my heart that Leo would spend some time teaching about this. Osho described the premise pretty good in his book: "Love, Freedom, Loneliness. " It is true when you become aware of your emotions, motives and thought process, it is more difficult to be swept away by a new fuzzy feeling. When you understand the nature of human emotions and needs, it is hard to be caught by feelings or become off-guard. Yes, you will have emotions and reactions, but you see the illusion so clearly, that it would be impossible to buy into it and drift away. Here is what I think: from what you’re saying you gained some level of awareness, it is not appealing to you to play the same games others do. So, it will be hard for you to fall in love. But be careful, it is still possible to meet a person and to get crazily in love, but this person pretty much should be in sync with you and have the same outlook in life. Self-actualized person. When you meet such person, who will be equal to you, you can test if you still buy into this or not. But this person really must be self-actualized!!! It is going to be really hard to find such woman. Don’t get discouraged. It’s the highest pleasure of human relations to explore someone’s deepness, and suddenly find your own self in the other. I could write the whole book about it, and the whole life would not be enough to explain this, it is an infinite burning potential that might occur between you and the other being. Deep relations can help you understand what you need to improve to grow as a human being. I feel you. You are growing, it is a normal process. Congratulations!

@Nahm yeah, I love that one too. But the new one is even better ?. Did you post anywhere a note about your own realization?! I would be interested to read it. I am not signed for your updates, only for Leo.

@Leo Gura Leo, thanks for your hard work and all the knowledge you incorporated into the video. Great work, breathtaking. I love this video, every single bit of it. I have some insight: what you’ve explained there, I comprehended as a conceptual understanding a long time ago. I assume that it is not what Truth appears to be, it is just a concept of the mind. Now, since every part of Reality is just a reflection of the current experience and nothing exists outside of this experience, how can I improve my interactions with other people? I want to have a deep understanding of what reality is, but not what my mind projecting when for instance, I talk to someone. Then I have this dilemma in my mind: if others are just another reflection of “my” current experience, will I really benefit, if I work hard to understand people’s motives and true desires. I mean if other people do not exist, it is just irrelevant then! Am I really starting to fathom this? My interpretation of others’ motives are so intimate and ultimately NOT true because I can not be them and really see the world from their focal point of view. On the other hand, why would it matter? If they do not exist, there is no such thing as right/wrong interpretation of the Reality, because my current experience IS ALL THERE IS. How can it be wrong? Whatever meaning “I” assign to it, it should already be AS IS. Am I correct? From the perspective of the matrix game, of course, we can deepen our understanding of others to excel in human interactions, but again, it is so irrelevant. I really struggle here to express it, because it is ineffable, it is so hard to articulate with human words when talking about the intimate experience of Reality like this. I am sick and tired of my projections of others, I want to see people as they are. But I fail over and over again and sinking in the land of my illusory mind. It created so many issues in my life. But from all my heart, I want to understand people and see them of how they appear, but not how my mind creates them. I would be so grateful if you can reply something to my comment. Thank you, Lots of hugs.

yep, kinda like " when you don't know something, you don't know that you dont know it"!

I read you and Leo all the time, I just do not have time to participate in your conversations. That video was the best, so far, imho. And I loved the way you explained it to people. I had a great insight when I was reading your post and when I was watching his video. Thank you a lot. Words can not describe what it means for me to be on this forum and follow people like you two!

@Nahm Thanks a lot, Nahm. This is the most profound explanation as it can ever be! Brilliant. Very unique. From the person who actually had experience, but not just talking. I am reading it over and over again.

@Saumaya It is in your power and up to you how to react to any criticism.

I ask stupid questions all the time. But he always addressed them in a nice, intelligent manner. I had a teacher that called us stupid all the time. It was the best teacher of my life ( teacher of English language) Because of her I basically built my life, moved to USA, made a career. If someone calls you stupid, the way you react tells about your development more than any nice words. You can call me stupid. I dont give a shit, because I do not care about your opinion and because you do not know me well enough to make this judgement. If you buy into his comments, than you are not that advanced as you want to be. Reaction is the best indicator of what you should still work on.

You have idealization of what a teacher should be!!! Why should it resonate with you? Hah? Who said so? It does not resonate with you, but you have over 7K posts here, logic? what are you still doing here? Create your forum and resonate there how you want to. I am reading you every evening on this forum. Intuitively I can tell, that to you, because you are a clever guy, it is a competition. It is inconvenient to acknowledge that someone can be sharper than you are. I am so sorry if I sound rude. It just pisses me off when reading crap that people post here. I try not to interfere a lot. But I hate when people criticize him a lot. Mediocre people.

@Joseph Maynor Please think, Joseph: how many people are really into it? I mean self-actualization? Answer this question and you will understand what he (Leo) was pointing at. Of course, 98% information here will not be legit. People are stuck in paradigm. Mention at least 10 members here who does research holistically and refer to different sources of information, not just using one or two perspectives. Such people wont be arguing here. They will be too busy. I guess lots of men ( including you ) on this forum are having a problem with Leo because he is really knowledgeable and dig way too dip than normal plain teacher. He really does tons of work. I mean, it is really easy to criticize him. Well, lol. You should have almost 1 million audience like he does, your forum and website, then you guys, can be on the same level. So far, all of us can have prejudice, sitting on the couch and just watching videos, extrapolating about validity of someones's work. It is the most easiest thing. You seem to be sharp, but not at that level to beat him, sorry

@Leo Gura I would disagree with you about shallow friendships for extrovert, Leo.

@Leo Gura Leo, you talk so much about the importance of the psychedelics that I was even dreaming about it last night. LOL

@Leo Gura oh man, Leo....you like such kind of music.

@Leo Gura Leo, I think he is talking about the focal point of experience. I have the same question to you. You were answering me too. But I wonder if this present moment that I experience right now is the unique and single? Please explain, this is very confusing. You said in your video :" there is only one Conciousness, and it is YOUR Conciousness " Reading your posts every night, but feeling that I am running circle. Thank you.

@Crystalous I don't, I have a baby and it is not in my nearest future, I mean psychodelics.

Today I felt really lonely. I mean very lonely. Basically I have to keep everything to myself to seem more or less adequate for other people. I just caught myself on the thought that the usual circle of my friends got very tiny. Some people turned away because the way I communicate for them was too unbearable, too harsh, too straight-forward. I just dropped the others because I can not associate with them any more. I was just driving my car thinking: " It got so freaking deep with Enlightenment and such, that I really can not wrap my mind around it and perhaps I am not ready for some things". And I remember you, Leo, warned us about it. I am extrovert. I need people to share my life with. I remember my spiritual teacher kept saying to me that: "The secret is when you learn to be happy on your own, it will be appealing and magnetic to other people so much, that they will be longing for your attention, and the trick is when it happens, you do not really need it any more". It is really hard to find people you can share deep insights and feel this connection. In a daily life we deal pretty much with adolescents, but not adults. Have you, guys, ever met a person (a friend or a lover, does not matter) who can challenge your ego the way where he/she could point what you have to work on, thus making you a better person and helping with personal development? I wonder how many people can have a dialog with another person and bare all the constructive criticism in a stoic manner, knowing that this is done with love and compassion and admit their own failures. Do such people exist?

I saw the video, I just hope he still will have interest in teaching after that 30 day retreat. Which he said he would, but we never know for sure...

@Leo Gura Good luck,Leo. Just be careful, safety is the most important thing. I hope you won't drop your viewers after this. Get this balance that you wish for. It might help you also when working with people in person. Seems like it is a necessary pre-phase for it.

@lmfao It made my day, lol. Thanks

@cetus56 that would be cool, I wish he could talk to Anthony Peak by Skype. I like that guy too.

@cetus56 @cetus56 @Nahm From what I have learned so far ,he is pretty open to talk to anyone about this matter, the thing is are they willing to listen? First would be cool to gather some people from this forum to attend his seminars. From that point domino effect might come into place :).

@Leo Gura thanks a lot, I will watch you video, I am sure I already did, I always do, sometimes several times. Leo I am impressed what leap you made during this past two years I am following you. It is very sad that people don't comment as much as they used to under your weekly videos. Of course for a usual audience it is hard to go that deep. I left you a comment under Quantum Mechanics Video, so far the best series made by anyone that I've ever found. Thanks for contributing and sharing wise content . I am sure you are aware that it might take a whole a lot of time before people start to appreciate your work. Never seen any teacher capture so much material and information in his work. But, yeah... Chuck Hillig gave me the same response about the illusury nature of the self. I was just a bit confused when you said about physical death. Thanks a lot. Hugs.

Well, if there is no brain, how can we damage one? LOL.
