Those sound like some pretty strong glimpses....you may have rattled the sense of self or loosened it up a bit, and yes that would be totally normal considering what you're doing. What makes up 'I'... What does 'I' consist of... Look with intensity, look with all of your attention and energy. Look like a man whose hair is on fire looks for a river. ❤

Yes the sense of self cannot conceive of its own unreality. Yes self-centered activity/egoic self agenda decreases greatly and there's a deep relaxation within the body/mind. Yes it's super strange it's like something that wasn't real dies LOL... hence why it's called an illusion. It's not logical in any way.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" -- William Shakespeare This was one of the best videos I've seen from Leo in a while, it felt like a delicious Italian layer cake of some of his best teachings from a few years ago all stacked up together with Love as the main ingredient. (big picture understanding at its best right here) According to actualized.org Spiral Dynamics I would rate this video at around: 10% Green 80% Yellow 10% Turquoise THIS is it....Leo said it!! ❤ Yes the elephant is Infinity as well as each portion being touched. Every piece is the whole and every whole is the ✌ Everything is it, and IT is everything!! Every perspective and all perspectives are simultaneously IT!! The seeking is IT....The experience of not finding is IT.... The experience of finding is IT.... Not seeking at all is IT. Everything is IT... everything is THIS.. It's naturally whole complete and perfect ❤ Thank you brother loved it!!

It's not about being silent it's not about being anything. You can sing all day long and that's still perfect. Please don't bring prescriptions here because I will spank you with everything is it. You don't have to be a certain way... True Liberation is being whatever arises as it.

Well there is no you, so the replies are Universal. I just want to ask one question? What is consciousness? Think about it? Have you ever been unconscious? yes maybe when you sleep. The question is who or what is conscious? Where is that one?

@Dylan Page there is no goal so whatever arises is what arises... Yes don't try to force anything just let it play out naturally. You're in a good spot just let it flow ❤ naturally

@Seth it's not a mystical mystery. What are you experiencing right now. That's it ....you will never find anything else than what you're experiencing right now. The real question is...... is there actually an experiencer or just the experienced?

Pooping in the car is still IT guy's it's incredible. One time in the cab of my truck in Afghanistan I had to go number 2 so bad I used a female wag bag which was designed for urination only. I dropped a big log on the truck seat... I thought it went in the bag but luckily it was hard enough it didn't soak into my truck seat, so I just chucked it out the window at a little Afghani girl. It did hit her in the face unfortunately but it was so hard she thought it was a stick. This is still IT....?

@James123 of course not brother who would ❤

Yes sir take that entire weight off of your shoulders and you'll find what you're looking for. ❤

Yes nothing to see here

Yes it's so in your face that it's unrecognized. Feeling silly is it... feeling like you haven't had any spiritual experiences or insights is it.. You're not going anywhere... it's the inescapable everythingness ? ❤

@GroovyGuru for me spirituality isn't a separate category of life... it is life and everything you could possibly do is still it. While it may feel like something separate it is the entire package. Non-duality is not something separate from everything. You're like a fish swimming to a different part of the ocean thinking it found new water...?

@VincentArogya your welcome ❤

Like this ? a lot ? ❤

Yes this is how they catch people on camera robbing banks. Although they weren't caught in the act does not mean they didn't do it. Same with a murderer leaving their DNA evidence behind. Technology and science are great tools.

Nice...like this ? Have you seen this video yet... talks a lot about what was mentioned here. ❤

When we are little children we learn to speak through labelling. At least this is how I remember. Mom would ask - what is this? I would say- this is a house This is a car. This is a window. This is me. Where is your nose? Here is my nose, and I would touch it... I have learned to label things and experiences and tested my limits and limits of my parents patience by throwing things, by saying no, by trying not to be conditioned. You know that little rebel age if you have kids. So I learned the language and started using it, communicating with other people. One of most important words was me and mine: this is my toy, not my brother's. No one has ever told me that 'me' is a word that is only useful in communication with others. Without others, there is no me, without I there is no them. Somehow this belief in a me became stronger and took over, it became the central belief around which everything else was turning. It's like a belief, that earth is the centre of the universe, I became the centre of my world. Until I looked. It really was just one look, it took a few seconds and all the search was over. The search for clarity, the quest of 'who am I?' was seen as cosmic joke. There is no who. There is nothing here in direct experience that is separate from experienced. Just this. Always now. If you want to test this, simply do this little experiment that won't even take much of your time. All you need is 20 minutes, a pen & paper. First write what you are experiencing right now using words I and me. Get right to the point, no past or future fantasy, just plain description of here now. Like this- I am laying in bed. I am hearing the rain, I am typing these words.. Do it for 10 minutes. Watch the body, are there any sensations of tightening or relaxing? Then for next 10 minutes write without words I and me. Just describe the experience as it is happening using verbs: Waiting for next thought, typing, breathing, blinking, hearing the rain. Again watch what is happening in the body. Now compare the two ways to label experience- is one truer than the other? If so, which one? What is here without labels? Do labels affect the experience or just describe it? Your body knows. I is a label, not experiencer. Not a thinker, not a doer, not a hearer of rain. I is not what makes eyes blink and it is not a breather, it's a word, that is used for convenience of communication. If it's believed to be an entity, the mind is confused, the body is tensed up. Unconfusing it is simple- bring attention back to now and look once again- is there a me behind the word 'me'? Life is happening. Looking is happening. Getting lost in the story is happening. With or without label I. What is not on automatic? And do we really need to be enslaved by labels? After all, experience is what labels point TO. The story goes on. The belief in story drops away. The story is way much more enjoyable without the fear that something can happen to this 'me' once it's clearly seen that there is no actual me. Confidence, grace, fearlessness, peace with what is starts to shine through as fear gets loosened. Imagine that! Humans got screwed by labels. And look at world of fashion- labels are so important! So much emotional pain, such strong desire to get home, when home is all there is. Right here- underneath all the labels. Here, now waiting to be recognized. Look. Don't think, just look. ❤

Gotcha I understand... Notice this awareness is not really that aware... For example you're not aware of what the neighbors doing in their house right now. You're not aware of what documents President Trump is signing right now... In fact this awareness is more of the sensory perceptions of the body. There's looking smelling touching tasting hearing... apparent thinking. It can be described more as beingness than awareness really.

Awakening is the death of this illusory sense of 'I' and the simultaneous recognition that it never actually existed in the first place. It can seem very radical for some... and completely ordinary for others..
