Helped me a lot in the early stages of my awakening. Although I did develop a quite unhealthy relationship with it and eventually stopped smoking. One day I woke up and it just didn't feel right anymore. I came to a point where it was starting to shut me off and bring me down, instead of open me up and uplift me. Regardless, I still think weed is great. Has much to offer. But one must be a match to it. It must be relevant and appropriate. Being respectful towards it is also very important. Short answer: yes. Imo, cannabis can definitely be used for spiritual purposes. And it should be. It's also great for creativity.

Absolutely speaking; Leo cannot be wrong. None of us can. He is walking his own path. No one elses. Others failing to recognize this can result in great confusion. Many believe a teacher is going to liberate them. They do not see that the teacher is only setting himself free. In my personal view; Leo has to integrate and fully embody everything he has realized, practise loving compassion and simple, down to earth kindness. Open the heart fully and let love flow through effortlessly. He could also simplify his teachings. There is too much food for the mind, not enough for the heart. I still see some arrogance, cockyness and self-righteousness. However, it is also important to understand the pressure he must be feeling because of his role. That might as well be something that's holding him back, in a sense. On a side-note though, it's been months since I've watched his videos, so I might not be up to date. I judge mainly by my observations on this forum. Overall, I think Leo is a great addition and has a lot to offer to the world. I value his work quite a lot, but do not necessarily agree with his views and approaches at all times.

@LfcCharlie4 I guess it comes with the role he has chosen. Thank you brother.

It's all cool and fun until you hear your own heart stop beating. One may say death is but an experience. But it is certainly real. Just like anything else. There is no such thing as "unreal". Everything is imagination, and imagination is hella real.

@Nak Khid Lol What does Leo represent to you?

Btw; thank you all for your comments. I appreciate your opinions and suggestions. I have made the decision to fly back to Europe and find a temporary job. The idea is to work for a few months and save up a larger amount of money so I could invest more in trading. This move will eliminate all the doubt and uncertainty that has been knocking on my door lately. I am willing to work until I establish firm consistency with trading and master it fully. This will be a big relief and it will offer me a sense of security. Another big advantage is, that I'll be able to have access to a studio and all the necessary equipment in EU. As well as an option to collaborate with musicians/producers that I know there. All in one. This new chapter will require me to be well organized, to manage my time, money and energy properly and maintain balance. It will be challenging but that's exactly what I need now. It's a big step in the right direction - that I am sure of. Life has just begun, indeed. Game on.

Is a bird attached to flying? Or singing? No. It's simply what it does. Likewise, music is just what I do. I agree on not being attached to a particular outcome, but then again, there's nothing wrong with ambitions and goals. For someone who's lost in this game of life, detachment might be challenging. For someone else, who sees through it all rather naturally, what's challenging is full commitment and dedication to life. It all comes down to what's relevant.

Choose the moment right in front of you and watch what happens.

There is no you after death. What happens; happens. Conscious reincarnation is possible. But not granted.

The opposite of Love is Fear.

@SoonHei Are you sure pure awareness is " one big body " ?

If there is pure emptiness, there are no bodies. How could you feel any?

Perhaps the subconscious does not register negation. Nothing is still something. No one is still someone. Don't is do. No is yes.

Been there, many times. Here's a few simple steps that usually help me snap out of it quickly; 1. Nothing is stupid. 2. If it could've happened differently it would have. 3. How is this helping me evolve? 4. Thank you.

@Shaun That is your birthright. Go for it. Wish you all the best.

You don't need to die in order to realize Truth. There is something individual even beyond your ego. If that dissolves as well, there will simply be nothing left that could realize Truth. Be careful.

@cetus56 Agreed.

In order for you to understand this, you must read these words closely. Patiently and slowly. Read as it is written. Simplicity is the language of Infinite Intelligence. Breathe in. Breathe out. You are not God. You cannot be God. You are You. God is God. Period. How simple is that? I am not You. You are not I. You are You. I am I. If I was You, I would be You. If You were I, You would be I. There would be no You and no I. But there is. You are. I am. You begin where I end. That is how You know You are; I know I am. I AM is a sense. I AM is a container. GOD cannot be contained. GOD is limitless. Infinite. Even "God" is not what GOD is. GOD cannot be captured. It is not a name. Not a title. Not an entity. Not an identity. God cannot be singled out. Cannot be compared to anything. There is nothing but God. There is no God, at all. And that's Magic. I have surrendered myself to God. I have dissolved the sense of I AM. I have walked into the Endless White. Heart wide open. Crucified. God was God. I was not, at all. Until I was again. Resurrected. Reborn. And in that moment it was crystal clear; I am second.

@Nak Khid Good job I see no point in arguing over this. As I said in an earlier post; not trying to change anyone's mind here. Just documenting and sharing my own process.

@TrynaBeTurquoise Nope. I am I. God is God. And there is no separation. Thoughts are not separate, either.

@TrynaBeTurquoise I meant "everything is love" can be used as a justification for cruelty. And that is a sign of an inability to love. Why does that seem like nonsense to you? And yeah, sure, this is just thought processing. So?

@peanutspathtotruth @dimitri much love and respect ? @Angelite Faith is great. An honest, pure relationship with God is beautiful. Beliefs or no beliefs. Praying from the heart is also wonderful. All the best to you. ?

@dimitri Yup. "There is no God" or "You are not God" can be easily turned into a belief, as well. And that's another trap. Not trying to sell beliefs here. Just balancing things out in my own way.

@dimitri It's the same. This is just about letting go of the ideas about God or Love. Disarming the one who believes there is a war. Not making an identity out of God or Love. Not trying to capture it or contain it. Love can easily be used as a justification for cruelty by the spiritual ego. Just like God. "Everything is love after all". Which is really just the individual saying; "I do not know how to consciously love myself and others." It's not that there actually is no God or Love. It's just that there must be no clinging to the idea of those. Once you let go of Love and God; Love and God is all there is. You feel me?

@Nak Khid Does anything exist? Yes and No. Depends on you and your view. If there is you, you sure can have an experience of separation and it will be real to you. Absolutely speaking, there is no separation because the limitation itself is made out of the same "substance". That which seperates one from the other IS one and the other. And so there is no one and no other. That which "separates" God from God is the notion of God. That is why "I AM GOD" is "false". It's true in a sense, but it's very sloppy. And misleading for those still seeking. It is not the "Highest Truth", as some of you like putting it. The "Highest Truth" is that there is no God. But that's way too hard to grasp and swallow for the one who has developed an ultra spiritual ego. There's no fun in that for it. It loses its superior position and is forced down off of its imaginary throne. That's why it rather clings to the idea of it being God as hard and as long as it can. If you think about it, that's a dream come true for the ego. To be The Highest. The Wisest. The Almighty One. GOD. It's easy to see through it. It's also hilarious
