Apparently quantum mechanics has taught him nothing 😀

What he is saying is that all the tools in the world won't help if you aren't at a point in your life where the time is right for God to be revealed to you. However I will say that if you are ready for God to be revealed to you then doing the spiritual practices laid out here can certainly trigger an awakening or mystical experience. But it isn't the tools themselves that are really the source behind the awakening. They are merely a means to an end. The source is God because your true nature is God. The tools can help get you in touch with that.

@Sugarcoat it's the other way around. Fear and anxiety which leads to suffering mostly stems from the unknown and uncertainty.

@Someone here I think it just comes with age and experience. And that's good to not chase awakening but maintain the spiritual practices. Because when one awakens, it really is the end of suffering in a broader sense..yeah your bum knee can still annoy you. you still have desires based on survival..to be healthy, happy, etc. But in a bigger sense - you did beat the game. Deep, deep dread is gone...because death is realized to be illusory. So you're still holding onto things but not in the same way anymore. Everything is different now. And you simply enjoy the game.

Dead philosopher infinity 😀

I like to say anything conceptual you hold about God, even the word God..is just that, conceptual. It is not IT.

When you enter Divine Consciousness you really do become formless. The visual field is still there but whether you are still in physical form or not really doesn't matter. It's called ego death because what dies isn't the body because you never were the body. You weren't even a soul. So why do you assume you have to permanently and totally exit the dream to experience death? You don't.

But i think then everything would be too in front of your face that it is an illusion. Things like your own kids would lose some realism. It might cause mental instability. Even though you know its a dream after awakening it still has a measure of "in front of your face" realism..to where you can sort of forget your own realization/lucidity that it is all your own mind.

Actually the answer is quite simple..you do not want to exit the dream. Otherwise you would. You still have attachment to the dream. That's why enlightenment isn't masamadhi. If you could walk through walls every other aspect of the dream would also be meaningless as well...and this cannot be tolerated while the dream still has meaning. So you keep dreaming. Yeah - you keep throwing stuff in to make it seem real..such as pain, and suffering, and health issues, and aging..etc..and walking through walls being impossible.

@Leo Gura is Hashinotos the only health condition you have? My son and mother-in-law both have it and all the women on my ex-wifes side...but all take medication and it seems to be quite manageable. Why is yours so bad apparently?

@stephenkettley not guaranteed but a super good start and could lead to a mystical experiences but don't go in with any expectation Go into it with just an open mind and curiosity

They would have to have no attachments or value anything. The reality is that losing an attachment is going to cause suffering. And you are going to lose an attachment at some point or another. It depends on how lucky you are as how long that takes.

You should not base your existence on whether or not there are other people. This indicates a serious lack of self esteem. You need to be able to be happy even if you were completely alone. This means you find happiness within not eternally. It is very, very vital. Work on that. Just work on being happy regardless of others. Others don't live the life you do, or experience what you do. Others don't have any impact on whether you cut the grass or go to work or not. Others are not in this mix. It is up to you to do those things. At the sane time it is ultimately God's disdain for being alone that leads to the egos disdain for it. It is not something God chose. But God is stuck with it because he is God. So aloneness is one of the biggest issues that God has. And so- he latches on to other people and what others think. It's a lot easier to please others than to actual take the time to love one's self. But then if one does that he has to admit that he's alone. It's a tough pill to swallow but ultimately a necessary one.

Ok..put your hand behind your head and imagine it..then put it in front of you and look at it. That's the difference. Its only the same thing after you have come full circle. And after that you will realize that other states of consciousness are possible.

This is the biggest spiritual trap there is. It's what keeps most people from ever awakening because they believe this is awakening! I have news for you..it ain't 😀

@Osaid it's easier to say - it's just imaginary. Anything not directly experienced is imaginary. The wonderful thing about this is that imagination IS you. So you ARE the rat. You ARE the chimp. Right now! Lesser consciousness is a figment of current consciousness. But current Consciousness can also go much higher. It's not in an Infinite state right now..but if you've awakened you know it's possible. So why wouldn't lesser Consciousness be possible? Why wouldn't experiencing the level of consciousness of an ant not be possible despite being imaginary right now? Why can't imagination become actual? The truth is nothing is preventing it..so Leo is not wrong here if you think it through.

Lolz. It's more just the suffering they have been through. Their leadership at this point has become numb. It's plain to see with Netanyahu. Jews don't label themselves like that. They are very humble at heart.

Yeah..ive been on here for a long time..a lot of the users don't even listen to the videos..they're on here for the spiritual discussion because they found out about the forum. .

If free thought wasn't encouraged here i think he would have no followers. Also many here just use the forum so don't assume they listen to his work regularly. It's a "spiritual" outlet.

There's some interesting factors here: 1. It's only closed in that lifetime. 2. That lifetime is imaginary right now. 3. For the guy who has half an interest in this stuff, he can find enlightenment even if it takes a lifetime - either one way or another. You don't have to be a genetic freak. 4. For the guy who is a rat - well, he is screwed for now - but see, he doesn't know the difference anyway so it never even existed. (Awakening) 5. For the guy who is a rat, see number 2.

Some things are best left to imagination 😌

@Water by the River Nice Actually I'm in the two week category but I guess there isn't much difference. Yeah that's interesting about the twins. Of course there is the woo factor - I mean if you are talking about genetics purely from a scientific standpoint then you can say well what dictates genetics? Science will try to find some theory when really it could be..what you are calling karma...the interesting thing is though, is that..just like genetics are imaginary, so is what you are calling the soul. Oddly, I always believed I was a soul- but the realization that the soul is just a thought- is what ultimately led to awakening. So the interesting thing is that genetics when using the scientific definition is no different than saying it is because of psychedelics that one awakens. Both are imaginary and within the dream. Even karma is imaginary. So then what are we left with? Why do some awaken and not others? Well, if you are imagining "other" then that really clarifies things doesn't it? 😀

@Water by the River don't you find it interesting though as to why you are interested in this stuff at all though (and on this forum to begin with) while others could care less? You don't think that's genetically related at all?

That's where metaphysics comes in. Most spiritual teachings lead you down a path of belief where metaphysics goes into the study of existence itself- and that you can verify this for yourself. As @Carl-Richard said it combines spirituality with science

Yeah- how I found your channel was when I typed in: what is addiction? The first video I found of yours was your video on addiction.
