@SQAAD he should never have been the hero you thought he was. You may have fallen into the trap.of making it about the teacher and not what is being pointed to. Be careful about that. You already know everything that was said in that video because you've been on the forum for years and also have heard all of his videos. You should be less concerned with Leo and more concerned with validating the deep Truths being pointed at here for yourself. For if you were truly able to do that Leo would no longer be required other than entertainment that you could let go of at any time. But right now I think you got attached to him and gave him some type of Godlike status in your mind. Notice this and address it.

Lol. You laugh but I was being dead serious.

thats all in your imagination as God. You are imagining Ramana Maharshi right now.

There are actually people that can feel no pain..it's a disorder. But I don't think that's whar is being pointed to here. Yes senses can be turned off. But to stop identifying with your small self is much different.

You can be in an infinite state of consciousness in which you are directly conscious that everything is your own mind as God. But then you can also be in a finite state of consciousness which in your mind you create separation- you create the sense of a finite self and others out there.

@Forza21 all POVs including your own are imaginary. You are Absolute Truth.. You are Absolute Being. And then what the Absolute can do is begin to imagine or partition itself off via creating the self/other duality

If you truly had no more attachment to your human existence or finite self...you would stop imagining all of it and the dream would go poof. The fact that you are still imagining that you could transcend it throughout the experience means you would have to still be attached in which case it wouldn't be possible. Its only possible if you transcended any attachment in which case everything within this dream would instantly cease to exist forever.

@PataFoiFoi it's able to dumb itself down. This is one of the most ignenius things that Infinite Conscioisness can do. It has the ability to dumb itself down to the point where it is completely fooled.

What is before you is all that there is. So if you are not conscious that you are God, you are not God. There's no "prior to you still are God" ..that's something your imagining right now about the Absolute. This must be Total otherwise reality could not be what it is.

Appearance is all there is.

Thats false. The Divine puts itself to sleep precisely to experience the Love of Realizing itself "again". Of course there is no again it is always the present moment. But that is precisely what allows God to realize itself forever

Have some fun with the story...there is powerful mysticism with the ancient enlightened beings, even if you are all of them and imagining them all...btw..I've read your experiences of God but have you truly become conscious that you are the Divine in an awakening?

@Carl-RichardAnd don't forget Moses and the Jewish mystics

@Carl-Richard beautifully put.

@Someone here just feel through them, experience them fully. Eventually you will have had enough of them. What else can you do? Its obviously something causing you tremendous anxiety and fear that you've suppressed. But if you fully expose yourself to it and go THROUGH it, you will realize there was nothing really to fear and it was all your imagination.

@Nahm @Leo Gura do i see an Actualized.org hunting trip on the horizon? How's the game in Vegas ?

@Forza21 some teachers want to sugarcoat spirituality. But you have to remember that the Truth will literally kill you. Which is precisely why the ego wants to stay asleep in the dream.

Indeed I have experienced the same state in the awakening I call the oneness facet. It will feel like madness.. It is when you realize everything is you or a function of your own mind.. it is definitely an expanded state of consciousness and there is no sense of separation (thus a non-dual state). As you said you can barely function because self/other dualiry collapses and the ego has no identity of its own at that point because there is literally no difference between self and other.

This...also keep in mind that even we don't "actually" have consciousness..consciousness has us. Its being imagined we are "self" conscious and that consciousness happens in the brain. So robots that get so intelligent they are indistinguishable from us could happen and it would be imagined that they are conscious just at a different layer of imagination.

@Bob Seeker Oneness and Love are identical

@Tim R beautiful. Running definitely is great for the Mind

@Michal__ just don't take anything he says on faith. Whatever he teaches you try to validate in your own direct experience.

Of course. We are you.

Enlightenment to me is the moment Infinity/God, after getting lost in its own mind, has the realization that it is in fact God. Small self drops. You have talked about it in some of your posts.

@Khan 0 yes that's why i said you are already enlightened. Yet telling a student this isn't really going to help him if he hasn't become conscious of it directly for himself
