Up to you. But peace and absence of suffering is really independent of awakening. Yes a full grasp of all of reality does bring ultimate peace because you will understand everything so any doubt or fear going forward is strictly the ego playing games. The fear of death is gone. The ego will still play its games. But now...it's up to you if you want to let it play with you. You have a meta awareness you didn't have before. But if you are at peace now then you don't need awakening or any of it. Its all very subjective. But i don't believe you can ever reach a level of peace and liberation asleep that you could with awakening or enlightenment.

@Loveeee great episode...and what is perception is one of his best for actually awakening....but here goes...No self. You are the Self. Infinity. You are infinity. The Absolute. You are the Absolute. Everything. You are Everything. Nothingness, You are nothing. Onenes. You are other. Divinity. You are Divinity. And the substance of all of this - is Love. I am..I IS!! Oops..I forgot Infinite intelligence- Omniscience. You are Awareness. You have a complete understanding of Self and reality. Bliss is part of awakening. And lots and lots of tears and crying. You?

Achieve yoga? What does that mean? How does this process work. I can tell you the self inquiry DOES work. If done properly. And only requires average intelligence but more importantly an open mind.

Agreed.

Excellent point.

What's that even mean 😳 I mean yeah I am lucid in the dream now..although most times I just lose myself in it. I cause myself a lot of unnecessary stress when I get lost like that. But it's what makes it real. If I were to stay in a state of Absolute Consciousness I couldn't exist as this particular ego..which I currently am very attached to for whatever reason. Maybe because the whole dream will dissolve with the ego. So I'm very attached to the dream. To the point I'm surprised I woke up at all with self inquiry. But maybe i hold on tighter now after awakening.

Well yes but any old fool can't just take a psychedelic and awaken. It doesn't seem to work that way.

Yes if you're serious about self inquiry and keep an open mind. If you are attached to religion or to science too tightly you probably won't break through.

@ExploringReality yes! Happy new year!

I would have hoped more for Israel's leaders - that they would be more advanced - especially after everything they have been though The sad reality is that they aren't. Instead they have grown into the very monster that sought to destroy them. Its no different with the vigilante that seeks vengeance. They become the very thing that wronged them. What I want to know is where was any of this protesting of ethnic cleansing when it came to Hitler in your videos. You almost seemed to glorify him by pointing out that he was Love but neglecting to discuss the relative aspects. Maybe because it happened almost one hundred years ago? I don't think you realize how your videos affected Jews. I'm sure most of us, like me, chose to overlook it because of the wisdom that was provided. But there was a lot of insensitivity there that should be taken note of.

@Nilsi i thought he would live forever. Him and Clint Eastwood.

Happy New Year!

@Leo Gura 2 kiddos. And 3 dogs. When the daughter in law comes it's 5 dogs Only one kid is still in the house though.

Intelligence has little to do with enlightenment. Yes you have to be intelligent. But there are different types of intelligence and IQ does not cover this. You could have a 200 IQ and be further away from enlightenment than a rat. I'd say It's more about being open..not just open minded but your heart must be open to many different things. This can be a detriment in everyday life but it is a component that can be beneficial to discovering your true nature. So IQ doesn't really mean a whole lot. Now his intelligence will probably allow him to more accurately logically conclude the nature of reality but actually waking up to it is another matter.

Hey what's up @Joker_Theory long time....remember you back from 2019 or around that time...wish you the besr on your spiritual path but also life in general. Its nice that you are there to help your mom.

Yeah but I also know that this is a dream so it can't be. You are God lost in a dream. That's all reality is. Consciousness can shift states. It can morph into anything it wants. A butterfly. Or a human. Right now it's a human.

Ya think?

That's disinformation. SSRis can be very helpful when prescribed properly

@Sincerity Solpsism is a terrible word and really doesn't explain things very well. It actually scares people away. Oneness is a much better description. Solipsism came into the discussion regarding non-duality because honestly it makes sense given non-duality. But the case was oneness in other words everything and everyone was in your mind so how to verbalize this properly? Well while the problem was there, there were no solipsists at that time to back up any sort of theory on Solpsism. And so it just became something to be discussed over on Leo's forum. But that's really it. A silly term but it really signifies something powerful. That self/other duality.

@theleelajoker haha. Magic is around you all the time. Even now. Awakening isn't going to be given to you obviously. You'll have to work for that. But it is promising. I can tell you that. More promising than a 401k or a retirement plan. Although right now these things seem to be all that matters. There is, still, another side

It is. But you can come back.

@theleelajoker well then nothing my friend. Life goes on. But there is liberation. And in so the fear of death has been vanquished.

@Someone here this whole thing is a dream and one can awaken from it. Thus seeing that the eyes they looked through was an illusion to begin with! They were really the whole thing! Both self and other!

Is that a given? No. It's not sadly. Look I wish I could agree with you in every way. But I'm afraid your case simply isn't provable with physical evidence. You can talk about it. But that's pretty you much all it will be. It's your opinion

Well nice of you to define enlightenment for us. Thank you sir.
