The problem is if they don't realize it over time they accept what is put before them and it becomes part of their identity. And that's why you have the guys knocking at your door trying to get you to come to Church. So before you criticize this community you should look at what we have now. Its a mess.

True.

So you are saying tbey were like me. They sat in temple (in my case I am Jewish) and listened while remaining atheist.

Its healthy discussion. For everyone. Look i am equally as guilty as Leo. Although I never developed a God complex.

What is the alternative to heaven? If it exists there must be an opposite.

The problem you run into with your theory is that everyone does not hate their ego. They are the ego. Ego is a state of consciousness. It is only when the ego is able to self reflect and thus go against the illusion of self that it is able to access a higher intelligence.

Your friends might just be attending Church every Sunday hoping they don't go to hell.

I think somewhere along the line something happened to Leo and he developed some type of God complex. My theory is this due to the overuse of psychedelics to achieve his goal of discovering Truth. Somewhere along the line it went awry.

What made Leo what he is, and what resonated with me is how alike we are. He just goes with stuff. And tells it precisely as it is. However the longer I am on this planet the more I realize it isn't just as simple as that. It is, I mean. But not everyone is at the same level. So we have to take that into account.

The problem is one can't afford to be casual here there are lives at stake.

I stated this in the other post about suicide. Leo is sloppy here on the forum. But I doubt he will be anymore.

There is no other way to have a reality without this distinction. .

I don't reveal it much. You do act like it but you have a young persona. Keep that.

How about we ban you.

Dinosaur.. JK. You gave me my first warning before I became a mod. Love you man and keep up the good work but more importantly health and happiness. Wishing you all of it.

I have no interest in his blog. Not direct enough.

I have listened to it. And this is the point. He specifically says how blunt he was being in the video. The point is hammered home at minute 6:30

Leo's a very young teacher relatively speaking. And he came up on YouTube. The forum was a place he could just be himself. I'm pretty sure he's working on himself and we will see some changes going forward. And yes I can say this because i am like 20 years older than almost all of you here at 55. I just have a baby face. And a bit more grey than that pic which I need to update. I don't think im older than @cetus though

Then again I bring you back to why did he pull the Solpsism video?

If you want a true example of what @Joshe is trying to convey it is when @SoonHei took his life. This was a young guy, not enlightened, that took all this stuff as a belief. But he left behind a family (a new wife and young child if I recall) all because of spirituality. And no one here tried to talk him out of it. I do not place blame on any one particular person but perhaps we all failed as a community. There are others such as @WaveInTheOcean as well.

I don't think it is a matter of compassion, it is a matter of pausing and thinking things through regarding the ramifications of your statements as a public figure. I understand about the case for the minority, but the issue is not what is objective, it's about being thoughtful about whether you should be so blunt to such a mixed audience. If he stopped and thought about it long enough he would come to the same conclusion as you. But he's being lazy and that is irresponsible as you say. But he wants to get what's true out, no matter the cost. To him, that is compassion. He believes what he is doing and saying is the higher good - case and point - his own teachings on everyone has good intentions. And by the way, he's always been lazy on the forum. That's the whole problem. He thinks he has a pass to be lazy here because it's just a forum. Who cares. I am guilty of it too. Sorry about the crappy grammar my phone keyboard is jacked up but I went back and edited

It has something slightly different each time: "Inliytened1" is a prominent, long-time moderator and member on the Actualized.org Forums, known for over 12,600 posts. They are heavily engaged in discussions regarding non-duality, spiritual awakening, and topics like absolute solipsism, often sharing insights under their signature phrase: Wisdom. Truth. Love.

Yeah....better watch out or you will go to hell.

Christians are sitting tight for their messiah why can't we? They say the second coming of Christ is just over the horizon. Maybe he'll be accompanied by an Alien, omnipresent Mind.

Does it really matter what the percentages are? If even one individual can be saved by a less lax position on suicide then it's worth it. The problem is it's not 100 percent one way or the other. So there is a dilemma for guys like Leo who teach over you tube. The audience could be anyone. Notice with his retreat there is heavy screening. You can't do that here so you should be much more careful in what you put out since you can't regulate the audience. But ask yourself why he doesn’t just accept anyone for his retreat but he will teach his deepest stuff to anyone. Well..until a certain video was pulled. So he gets it... It's a matter of keeping to that standard.
