Just do the actual work than this goes away.

Pure genius 😀 now that's genius - not some scientist that discovered quantum entanglement...that's good - but that's peanuts.

One of the best post ever made on the forum. Excellent. But the spiritual rat race could probably be omitted. The big take away is that sadness is also a part of happiness. That is a holistic, unified perspective. The problem. Is because most don't grasp that reality is one - so they want to decide bad and good - and happiness and depression. It's two sides of the same coin. You really need awakening to know this is true at the deepest level. (Not highest)

Great stuff.

No its the beautiful work of God. The goal of God for this illusion is to keep you in the illusion. God is good at what he does. The reason is so it can completely lose itself. It is the sole purpose of the dream - or any dream. This is a feature and not a bug. If everyone awakened so easily there couldn't be reality.

Because there are different types of intelligence. There are some that are simply spiritually gifted and thus spiritually intelligent you could be an absolute genius but be completely clueless when it comes to epistemology or spirituality even if you taught them.

You finally got something right tonight

@Princess Arabia aww...don't go! You're probably Leo's biggest fan boy! (Or girl)...have you listened to any of his videos?

@LordFall if we didn't care there wouldn't be a Leo. .

You are indeed doing a lot of gaslighting here. I believe he would be warranted in silencing you. There are legitimate points being made here that you refuse to see because you are hell bent in ....whatever...but...it might do you good to learn from what is being said here.

The only reason I brought that up is because if you have had any success in life you would know that communication is the absolute pinnacle. For you to dismiss it so openly is shocking especially since you communicate so much here.

You still feel like death after not eating and drinking that long - no? You can only survive 100 hours without water. So you are starting to get where you are dying. You can probably have some serious awakenings by then- especially if you are mediating.

@Buck Edwards which was why i said just learn from it and get some redundancy in place- perhaps a backup site where he could announce outages or have some type of disaster recovery in place where there isn't a week lapse between communication points. We are always learning and evolving. I'm not blaming him for what happened I just hope measures are put in place and responsibility is taken to ensure it doesn't happen again. I didn't have another means to tell you guys what was happening isn't really a good answer.

In the arena of you tube he can get away with this and so he does. In many businesses that type of outage is intolerable. But no matter the domain - communication is absolute king. Communication is probably the most important aspect in all of reality- not just in business- but in all of relations. For a guy who prides himself in wisdom - this was most surely missed. He bounced back only because it is you tube. Ignore your girlfriend for as little as two hours and see how that goes down.

@Princess Arabia you are completely missing the point. It's not just people relying on him it was paying customers. A little communication would have gone a long way. It's not professional. It's not a way one handles themselves when running a business. What do you do for a living? Do you live with your parents or are you independent?

@Princess Arabia in the Absolute sense this is true but not in the relative. In the relative he has a business and what happened this week was not professional at all. Outages happen. But in business a lack of communication is unacceptable. Hopefully a post mortem occurred with him and his tech team to ensure it does not happen again. Otherwise i wouldn't give another dime to his life purpose course.

He's not going anywhere. He's way too intelligent. However I completely agree. He should have had an alternate method of getting in touch with his fans and subscribers and keeping them updated. There are lessons to be learned here. Hopefully he will grow from them. I don't think he realizes but he has a lot of people that love him and many that look up to him and that deserve to know when things go sideways for a spell. Hopefully he takes it more seriously in the future and has a backup platform to notify people when things like this happen. It does matter.

Yes. Look death in the eye in any way and God becomes pretty obvious. Conceptualizing God makes God much more obscure. The Truth is before your very eyes - there isn't a need to grasp it with the egoic mind.

You should have been betting on the color of his robe.

Suffering is an option. Suffering can be from losing a loved one too - not just from deprivation of what is needed by the physical body - but Suffering of the mind. This is far more powerful. But where he was going was self inquiry. He spoke of the subject/object duality - but really this is the self/other duality. To free yourself from other you must first determine that which the self is. Then later other will be revealed as well. Combine any sort of suffering with self enumeration and then you are cooking up enlightenment with gas.

This seems like it would still leave a subject. Enlightenment is the collapse of the subject/object duality. Find this through self inquiry. Inquire into what it is you think is the subject. But the self/other is a duality - the subject should not be emphasized more than the object or the field as you call it. The field could also free itself from the subject. Don't look at it as subject/object- look at it as self/other and then attempt to understand what self is. Later you will find this is the answer to what other is as well.

I feel like the desert mouse in Dune 2 caught between two worms 😀

OK I guess I'll go back and read through the thread and find where you said it first, lol. Damn you 😀

Sometimes over analyzing can be a trap.

This episode is a trap! 😀 I just went meta....
