@Annoynymous check out shadow work

Love you man

@Aeris I definitely definitely think the best thing to do is work on yourself. Change your vibration and she will like it naturally

@Mafortu 1 John 4:8 (The Bible) "God is love."

@stukem ok...you are not any expression or field or witness. This, and the idea that it's "your purpose to know" is ALLLLLL happening within YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. Your consciousness is the thing within which these things are perceived. If you want some practical advise...do the practises and just make sure your doing them right constantly. Don't rely on knowledge at all, just let your humans knowledge float and rise with the water level of your *spiritual/experiential* revelations. Literally the only thing that matters are the practises, making sure your doing them right and stuff...using self enquiry, doing retreats, using phycs if you feel ok with it. ***Side note, within self enquiry, don't forget to ask "who is the one who observes" and with whatever answer you give, ask "was this answer observed also?" (Check direct experience) "hmmm yes" [you'll probably say], well who was the one who observes that answer?

@Aakash there really is nothing else that matters other than enlightenment. Everything else is just pretend like...

@Aeris Have you ever watched Leo's vid on counterintuitive-ness? There's always a counterintuitive move that's the right move. I had a deep insight that was so gradual, I didn't even realise it was an insight one time. It is this; "I am the Lord thy god...Thou shalt have no other gods before me.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Exodus 20:2-4 (the Bible) Leo isint god, he's just a guy who's found god and actually, counterintuitively ? , respecting anyone too much...so that you believe whatever they say, is idolising them. Which actually hinders your growth. The point of this insight is "hold no higher authority than God himself." The best thing you can do for yourself (and leo) is not believing leo. Infact, if you believe everything that comes out of Leo's mouth you'd be more fucked up that before you started listening to him. Only use your direct experience, get familiar with the concept of communicating directly with God and saying "fuck you" to everyone else. This is absolutely necessary for fast spiritual development

Leo's probably off to the Caribbean islands for a month hahahah just not telling us HAHA ?? jammy bastard lol

@Aquarius homosexuality is actually something that you will find of hidden with a lot of the peeps on here. However, the reason for this is a little bit weird... With the kind of stuff that this website focuses on (spirituality, and in particular, general self improvement) it tends to attract a very specific kind of person. I'm not saying this is good or bad I'm just saying it's my observation. A boating shop will naturally attract fishermen, a hospital will naturally attract sick people, a library will naturally attract readers. The typical John Doe that is attracted to self improvement/spirituallity/god is a weak person, likely someone who is at the bottom of the food chain in some way...and in some way, just the lowest of the low. Jesus said that, in his kingdom, the last shall be the first and the first shall be the last. The Bible says that God uses the weak things of the earth to bring to naught, things that are great. And it's also been shown that (especially in males from 17-24) who have some kind of deep inner lack or weakness, turn to homosexuality as a coping mechanism for a lack of self love and authenticity within themselves. I did it to. For me it was my mental illness that caused me to be weak, it's not gone yet like. But it's a hell of a lot better...people only find god when they REALLY search, and why would someone put loads of effort into finding god if they didn't need something desperately. I was indeed the lowest of the low as well. Raised christian, I was the fat annoying Christian 14 year old who always was just somehow annoying and always talked about how you were wrong and I was right. Jesus Christ like. But yeah, thats why you'll find that homosexuality is probably more active within the guys on this site. I realised I wasn't gay though, I mean...fuck, if you wana do that, go for it...this is just an observation of my own that I'm pointing out. One thing I will stress is to *remember* you should not be in denial of any part of yourself. The only way you can heal from something is by first accepting where you are at first. That isint my opinion, this is actually a deep insight I got recently. And it's very important. Accept any of these feelings you have and then look deeper and accept what is there to..

Lol

@Highest i became conscious that god is everything recently. Rather amazing actually

I've realised that the deepening of awareness doesn't *remove* reality, it only removes what is not reality...and that turns out to be more than you thought [ironically]

@Mezanti right so, basically I have seen in my own experience that it's better not to think about all this kinda shit. I have seen recently that all knowledge is bullshit and as it turns out...*Literally* the only thing that matters are the practises...hitting long ass sits, at least an hour and just basically making sure your technique doesn't become relaxed...I fall into a trap every other week but I'm effortlessly passing through each trap and overcoming them. So, for sure just don't worry about knowledge at all. It all turns out to be complete shite anyway...and useless. Using thoughts and symbolism *can* be useful in that they can help us submit more deeply sometimes by sympathising slightly with the ego nature that needs some *thing* to submit to. Then use that as a spring board into a healthy practise of nothing.

@Moment holy fuck

...cuz I just cant be arsed doing the preparatory ones, I just want to flick through the book and do the concentration practises. I'm I missing out on enlightenment if I don't do the specific breathing practises like pranayama and ujay pranayama (or however you spell it)...?

@PetarKa ok, yes...but your beliefs wrap around reality in real time. We fuse beliefs and experience together to make what I call "sensory concepts" or "picture concepts" or "location concepts." A mixture between actual reality, and a variety of senses to create a concept. For example, you believe you are reading enlish right now...you are not. Whole there ARE black markings on your screen right now(actual), "English" is a concept that we have both agreed upon...and so we mix half reality with half interpretation to create an augmented reality, and notice how hard it is to see that your not reading English right now.

??? "Who is delusional and ignorant?" - "I am" Hahaha, perfect

What singlar "point" in you that, when removed, would cause "you" to be removed? Your fingernail? Your face? If your face was replaced would you cease to exist? What part of your body? Your brain? What part of the brain? Your knowledge? If it were removed would you still be here, experiencing life directly? If you lost your memory would you cease to exist or would there still be a "you"? What personality attribute that, when removed, would cause *you* to be removed? What is the point that is "you" in your direct experience?

I will become conscious of God one day. Ffs ?

@Freakrik beware the egos interpretation of enlightenment. By all means follow your heart, but I'm telling you...true enlightenment, is something else entirely. Just don't do drugs and it'll come at a much more manageable rate (prolonged however). Don't get punked...buttttt, don't go against your heart either. I think if you look deep in your heart you will know. And if you don't bullshit yourself. Let the peace of God rule in your heart

@OmniYoga @Leo Gura I think truth is like a strong detergent/cleaning agent. While you absolutely need it to clean things (like clothes), you need to remove it afterwards...otherwise it will dissolve the fabric. Or like mouthwash, use it and spit it back out after it's job is done. Wax on wax off bitches, na'mean

Ok, I'm just saying...whether you realise it or not, enlightenment is the only thing you desire. Js

@kieranperez what made these ancient mystics different? They are you, you have never been anyone else except for you. And you are the only one who has ever existes ever. Period. They are special because they are all pointing to you

@tecladocasio no...but there are genetic predispositions towards the way an individual must think/act/know/believe/behave to become enlightened. Look up what "low latent inhibition" is. This is a genetic phenomenon that will subjectively make it easier for the possessor to attain enlightenment.

@cena655 yeah I know my motives are quite selfish like. I want to be good and experience peace so that I can enjoy life. However I know this part of me will die eventually and that I will be reborn as something much more humble. If the practises are working and powerful, true enlightenment will burn away the sinful nature and release the seeker into the clarity of their own existence. I cannot WAIT
