@DizIzMikey Still looking for a full experience of the nothingness - it is impossible to have full experience of nothingness, otherwise it will be already something.

Leo! Thank you for becoming a part of our lives, for carrying some wisdom and light for people who needs your support. It is hard to articulate with worlds when it comes down to deep wishes so I will just say this: May everything that can not be expressed by words be expressed with actions, and everything that can not be expressed with actions, may it remain as a silent Truth in your heart!!! Happy Birthday!

Guys, let’s not get involved into discussion about Enlightenment with people who absolutely deny the premise or work we are doing here on this forum. First of all, it looks like we really try hard to persuade and incline them into some kind of belief or conception. Let’s respect the Knowledge we have. By getting involve, we diminish the whole idea. If you feel like you really want to argue with other people about your believes, ask yourself first: Why am I trying so hard or what is the benefit for me in this persuasion? Am I arrogant? Do I feel more superior toward other people who do not share my position? Why am I being aggressive toward people who is engaged in denial of website/Leo/Enlightenment what so ever……. Some folks really kill time here, others just feeling satisfied by battling in cyber space with others, because they do not have any more interesting things to do in their lives. Let’s keep this Forum and website friendly, let’s have dignity and respect to not proliferate more aggression. Let’s be mindful to our time and people in this community. Do not allow people to ruin your inner equilibrium. In the long run, if you need to be engaged, work on yourself, understand the need for it. Eliminate it. With warm wishes, and thank you for being here for support.

Wanted to stop by and share with you my great mood and this bliss I am experiencing now. This is so strange because just yesterday I had a big empty hole within me (I have been contemplating on life purpose and realizing there is none). I can not wait till watch this video about Existential Crisis promised by Leo last time. This morning I had an insight that it is such a miracle to be a part of this reality, just see the sun in the window of my office, be a part of humanity, just being among my colleagues. You know guys, for some reason, I thought about all those people who died recently in air crushes, in Brussels, dying at war…..and that’s it for them. I think I still struggle to penetrate this knowledge of one time and only one opportunity to be alive! Feels like I am going to live forever. Is it even possible to grasp this fully, or some kind of defensive mechanism preventing us from this knowledge?

@Saarah Appreciation is not really doing favor for me here with death contemplation, I love people and appreciate my life. I am not saying I take it for granted. But if I am not in control and there is no free will, then it changes the prospective. Thank you

@cetus56 You are very welcome, hope it will help you to live life in a creative manner

@WelcometoReality Agree, when i do not think about it deeply, it doesn't really bother me, but being aware of the present moment means death contemplation for me, I am not sure why. When I am aware of the Reality around me, I always have this thought that "I am not going to be here for long" Not knowing how much time I have left bothers me even more.... Thank you

@SkyPanther yeah, it amazes me whole a lot too, and yes I saw it in media and read about it too. Fractals/patterns is another interesting thing. Basically every single part holds the information about the whole piece. In his book Aldous Huxley saying something like " everything is everywhere, and everywhere is a part of a small thing" not sure how to translate it, look: "Все во всем, и все это в действительности каждое" Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

@Man in the Mirror You are very welcome, glad it served some purpose here. I do not recall a day from my life when I did not think about death The very essence of it is encapsulated in my present moment, they go in bundle existence/non-existence. When I am aware of the present moment, I am also aware of the finite nature of my Ego.

@SkyPanther Thank you very much for your feedback. I absolutely agree with you: the beauty of life in its unique one time experience. BUT! IMHO, to understand it logically and let it come into your heart are different things. On the deep level this knowledge hasn’t occupied my heart yet. I know it intellectually, but certainly it does not feel like it, because if it was I would be more proactive with my time. I am aware it is ticking and every year it is getting even faster. That is scary. For some mysterious reason my finite end running two step behind me, that is how I feel, I see it, I know it is there, yet I want to believe I have tons of time before it catches me.

You are such a sweet person....glad we have you here

@Kelley White thanks, Dear

@Natasha Oh my God!!!. You know I was wondering about this reading your posts....but you never know since Anna and Natasha are names given in America as well. How nice..... Okay, not to get people mad, perhaps we should leave this thread since it is for questions to Leo and use PM.

@Natasha Yes, I was born in Russia, east Siberia but living in US now

I bet your parents moved in 1990-91 when you were around 5 or 6, means you are really a Russian native speaker, perhaps without an accent. Wow!!!!

@Leo Gura When I first found you I thought: " He is my first American guru whose teachings became a part of my life and who shares the same life vision with me". Today I just realized that we were born in the same country and you speak "my language" , wow, I cracked the code, Leo. (У меня нет слов...) I know you are busy, but if I get lucky, would you share what part of Russia you were born (city/region). I wonder how fluent you are in Russian..... Thank you.

@FindingPeace I was reading you feedback, pondering about it....and here is what I would like to add: there is no such thing as "value" at all. Everything has its own importance and irrelevant at the same time. Everything is JUST co-existing in the big soup of Reality. If we take out one ingredient probably nobody will notice, however the great mixtures of them gives it a flavor. "Value" is just another label to indicate the difference.

@SkyPanther thank you

Thanks, can not give you my full response since I am at work )

@SkyPanther I liked your answer, would you share please what triggered that state of being One with everything? Did you practice meditation? Thank you

@Leo Gura Oh, Leo, I wish you can create video about it

@Philip and also one more question, since there is no observer while you sleep, are all those process happening for real? in last video Leo emphasized again, that is no External Reality? If we go by your theory, we would imply that it is. I am not arguing with you, I am just try to understand to have more insights Thank you.

@Philip Hey Phillip, love your answer, but I feel like we still talking in the frame of time: past/present/future. how is it possible to be reborn in the morning, if time does not really exist?

@DizIzMikey Dear Mikey, I think the best way would be to relax and accept this irritation within you. Accept that you can not and never will know. Please understand and start to observe your crazy mind ((ego) what so ever), who wants to be in charge, it has nothing to do with you and your life. Do not allow your thoughts to take advantage of you. You became a prisoner of your Head, maybe you should stop reading/watching videos about Enlightenment for a while. Just go spend time outdoor, relax, have a nice romantic dinner. Let you mind cool down for while. Then you will start over again. You are in this condition as if you would be an animal who is in the trap and now he is tearing his own flash to get out from the trap. You are going to hurt yourself more. Do not think too much, let it cool for a while, maybe distract yourself with something else, just for a short period of time. Get better.

@SkyPanther @TwoDays @Zotikos @Khin @Anicko Guys , I was talking purely about Enlightenment. I just do not see any point to debate with people who deny it, since it is very intimate experience. We will not be able to prove it with words anyway. I hope I did not hurt your feelings.
