Thank you. I appreciate you clearing your stance. And im glad you have based it on direct experience

Where have you been all my life.

Yes what you are discussing is integration. It is always a work in progress. Just realize that you continue to grow on the regular. I'm still growing and integrating it. It takes decades. So do not despair. Slowly you will integrate and you may continue to have deeper and deeper awakenings and realizations. Over time your understanding will grow deeper.

I think the scary part about enlightenment is when you do realize you're alone. Its frightening and you said it exactly. Other is revealed to be a part of your own mind. This can drive you insane unless you force your mind elsewhere. But the other aspects of enlightenment are amazing. And it is bliss. Many have asked for a description here and I can only describe as a blissful, dissolving feeling. As if you are dissolving into Infinity. And this will move through you. So that is very blissful, better than any high a drug or alcohol can get you. Because you are realizing that you are God. But the other side of it is that when other collapses it can be quite scary. All that you have ever known is thrown out. So you desperately want to come back to "reality". And you do, hopefully.

Hey man..well..first nice to meet you and thank you for reaching out. Its a little to drop on me at once. I'm not sure where to begin.

Good luck to him but I get a bad vibe with him and I always have. Probably the same reason i get bad vibes about Sadghuru. Businessmen and philosophers don't mix in my opinion.

I think Descartes has to be there somewhere but I dont wanna list him too high because he got a lot of shit wrong.

@Carl-Richard who are you favorite philosophers?

I know you are a fan of Spinoza as am I. Marcus Aurelius is among my favorites.

Anyways Ralson has good stuff but for me I didn't really need it because you have Leo's stuff which he drew from Ralston and many other teachers. What I love about Leo was how his unending thirst for truth allowed him to gather from all of the greatest teachers and then put it all together in a simple way where anyone could understand.

Its like you can see through me. Your intuition is very strong. Thats one of the most essential aspects of intelligence

I get the same vibe from his work you do.. I can tell something about you. Your intuition is off the charts

What did you not like about his work? Curious.

Totally. It's one of the best ever.

Yeah ill have another watch. I love the guy interviewing him.

I mean...look..I get it. Its not like they are wrong. I don't doubt a Jim Newman is enlightened. I just think the no you stuff is way overplayed where it does turn things into a belief system. And people that come aboard will jump aboard if you know what I mean. I just find it very dangerous.

Exactly the irony haha. Yes I've brought it up to her and we accept that we are different in certain regards but one thing we find common ground on is that God exists. She is very into Jesus so I dont push the subject. Its so ingrained- religion that is - for some people that breaking them away from it is impossible. Yeah I would have liked to find someone like minded but it wasnt in the cards. Like I said its not too big a deal. Ill go to church with her if she wants. I grew up with a Jewish background but im open to all things.

Yes. Whether there are Absolutes or not don't really matter on a personal level. Thank you Joseph. It took me a long time to realize this.

Yes those are great points. Also we must be careful not to push anything on someone. I have a Christian girlfriend and its very difficult to discuss this stuff with her but we make it work. I would never push anything on her. The stuff is out there if someone wants it. But finding Leo and his videos are a goldmine if someone takes advantage of it. The funny thing about Christians though is how they subtly try to push it on you haha

Someone can tell you the gate is invisible all day but until your mind realizes it it will be a gate. And so the whole problem here is that if you say to a very green spiritual person that they are already enlightened guess what? They will think they're enlightened. Its not rocket science. But you can see the danger here.

Frame it how you wish but of course everything is already the case. It doesn't mean you know it beforehand.

No its not that at all. This is more of what the neo-advaitans want to feed you. It is the realization of no self period. It is not realizing what is already the case because you do not know the self is an illusion until you do. So this is foolishness

Who is this?

This video is a joke and I've heard it before.

@Sincerity I think for @Carl-Richard he is very triggered by the concept of solipsism. Its understandable given how twisted it is. But that's just him. He gets very bent out of shape as soon as you speak the word.
