Shall I lock? Yellow Indeed has spoken. Nothing more needs be said.

Thats right but the question is why are you not in favor? It shouldn't be just because someone could be innocent. It should be because it's wrong at a high level. Freeing up resources is a very low consciousness reason. You could make the argument for yellow bring in favor of that because it sees society has no other option. But it's weak. It really is.

If they are guilty. Let's say the guy raped and murdered your daughter and you saw him do it. He was arrested and charged. Are you in favor of putting him to death then?

It doesn't matter if they are innocent or not again that's a separate issue. Let's assume they did it. What is your view then, if they did it?

Of course not. And if Leo had to look at it deeper I'm sure he would agree. Saving resources is a very red thing. If it really came down to survival fine- we do what we have to do. But once beyond that no

That's not what we are concerned with here. The question was would yellow back this. You are sounding extremely narrow minded with this approach. We are looking at the higher meaning of what putting someone to death or not is.

Dude most of the people locked up are guilty. The falsely accused are far and few between. Furthermore that's a completely separate discussion.

Death does nothing. If you want to do it to free up prison beds fine. But otherwise it accomplishes zilch. It doesn't make the families feel whole again. Nothing can other than forgiveness. Which is Love. Leo think deeper here.

Love it. Yeah. They are a figment of your imagination that's why they seem clueless. Because you have designed the dream or the game so that others are clueless - otherwise it would be spoiled way too soon. That's why the dream appears so "real". It's the ultimate mind fuck that you are dreaming right now. If it wasn't then reality couldn't be what it is.

There are certain people who are lost beyond being found. They are a danger to society. If we can afford to keep them locked up then I prefer that over ending their lives. But ending there lives is nothing more than trying to bring our own human form of justice to somehow appease the victim's family. Yet most times the victim's family say something along the lines of "I thought this would bring me peace. I thought this would right the wrong. I thought this would make me feel whole again. " it doesn't. Forgiveness does but this is very hard to do simply because we cannot see oneness.

This is incorrect. I suggest you do meditation to assist in you righting this wrong. You are stuck up the ass of guys like Jim Newman who is not awake and have missed enlightenment due to idolization and parroting. Not sure why Leo likes keeping you around but if you keep up the neo advaita garbage you will be kicked out.

Its not. You don't need to do anything physical that is the point of meditation. You can dissolve physical form through mentalism. All physicality is held within the mind.

Watch it.

No - it doesn't. This because the present moment which is what you are, is the only Truth. You are Truth and you are Now. Everything else is imagination. That is why we say direct experience is King. It doesn't mean we can't imagine we will be our mother someday - but that's what it is - imagination. The only thing true right now is right now. You are God lost in a dream of being human.

Lol. I don't know I consider it both a blessing and a curse - but thank you sir. Here's why - God gave me the genes to live a ripe old age and get very wise - although sometimes my youthful appearance makes the temptation to not act my age very strong

Boom. We have a winner. Though easier said than done if you feel you have been dealt a bad hand in life and obviously there is some of that here. Bottom line is he has to start appreciating the good in life and stop harping on the negative. The irony is these things are relative - and a lot of that has to do with our unconscious culture. We have an idea in our head about what perfection is - and a lot of that was bestowed on us from a very early age. But in Truth you will not find perfection here and that is by God's design. Gods wish here is to see the beauty and love in Imperfection. And he has yet to see that. Bottom line - Be happy with yourself - and don't beat yourself up bud. This will come in time. Heck I'm in my fifties and I still struggle with it.

What is it about the character you are playing now that you don't like? If you liked everything about this character would your view on God be different. I.e. if you were 6"2, handsome, muscular and highly intelligent with no illnesses either mental or physical. Would you still be saying the same things?

Yup.

If you ever had ego death physical death is really the same thing it's just that with ego death the dream hasn't dissolved yet. But it gives you a taste of what death is like because you become God. True ego death is awakening as God. You are in God Consciousness. It's just that the dream hasn't broke apart because you still have too many attachments. So you are still in finite form. With physical death you will just be pure formless, Infinite Consciousness. You don't even need a form when you awake...it's almost as if you are formless. So it's really the same thing plus form.

First of all you have never directly died. You have directly suffered. So it's more accurate to say you will.most likely suffer. I think the main point we are conveying when we speak of death here is that there is no objective reality. No physical reality out there outside you. The world doesn't go on and mourn your death because the world is held within You. So when you die, Your Consciousness- God Consciousness- goes on. All of this is a dream and melts away. That is what is meant by death is imaginary. The idea of death assumes there is "other" outside of you existing after your death. But this is something you are imagining. This ties together both solipsism and idealism in a nice little bow. Of course the isms are also ideas

Yeah and im taking your point one step farther in posing the question- should we even be associating enlightenment with "attainment" or with how attached we are to our ego and physical body?. Does it make us any less God realized if we are unable to stand unphased while our leg is chopped off? Was Jesus unphased on the cross? Or should we say this is simply the ego trying to transcend itself - thus more ego - its a good question to ponder. Doesn't dissattaching from the ego lead to a rather miserable life or leave you dead period? There seems to he some type of demonization or bias against the ego going on here....

Personally I don't like the definition of enlightenment being free from suffering or in your example physical pain or loss of a part of your identity. So to answer your question yes, it doesn't change that you may be God realized, if indeed you are. Being God realized does not alleviate your fear of death or the death of a part of you. That is your ego and ego's survival instinct. So to overcome that - should you choose to (as it is relative) you are getting into the way the mind looks at things. Being God realized is becoming God itself, the ego dies. Then the ego comes back. So it's not the ego that is God realized it It's God. God realizes itself ? then the ego may return and fight against this. Still having fears and attachments it may or may not want to work through. Does it matter? Isn't that a relative choice of the ego as if it wants to embody Truth? When it actually becomes the Truth it will dissolve completely anyway. In other words the whole point of the ego is to feel fear and want to survive. That's why God imagined it was an ego and created this ego and its backstory in the first place. So it could forget it was God.

You are associating awakening or enlightenment with acting "high conscious (embodiment) and with "wisdom" and curing all of ailments, while yes it does increase your baseline and may do this for a while, eventually your baseline is not going to stay at that level...wisdom and embodiment is going to come more with life experience then with enlightenment. You can be enlightened as fuck and still be an alcoholic. Overcoming alcoholism is separate from being enlightened. In other words awakening doesn't cure you of illnesses or addictions. It may alleviate them for a period of years when you awake, but eventually they may come back because you don't stay at infinite levels of consciousness as a finite being - though for a period of time after awakening your consciousness can still be at a much higher baseline. @BipolarGrowth by the way are you still in chicago? That's where i live so hit me up on PM if you want. I'm sorry you suffer from Bipolar Disorder - its really a horrible disorder. I guess this country singer Luke Bell just took his own life from it because he went off his medications or something.

I highly recommend this guys podcasts. I think If you like Leo you will like this guy- he is just more about the science of the brain which is good for practical stuff and personal development. But a lot of your motivation levels are directly related to your baseline dopamine levels. Check out his episodes on dopamine and motivation.

Yeah it's like your lucid dreaming..although sometimes you can forget its a dream too. Oddly enough I've never been able to lucid dream at night- I always believe it is my reality during the dream because there is nothing to contrast it with so its total. Same here until you awaken - but then you come back to the dream - now lucid. Like I said its easy to loose the lucidity again but once you have it you can get it back at will.
