Yep and then that's what's occurring there... It's already perfect it's already whole it's already complete it's already Paradise it's already the kingdom of heaven ❤

What's being communicated is that the 'YOU' that thinks reconciliation needs to occur is the Dream. The 'YOU' that thinks there are two separate individuals here communicating the same message but not recognizing it, is completely illusory. It's completely unreal... its identification with thoughts and energy arising within the Body/Mind organism appearing as a 'YOU' there replying to this thread. But there is no one here that knows this, it's Maya illusion of the self. So in essence there's nothing right or wrong with anything it's just what's apparently happening for No One. It's perfect whole and complete because it's THIS... it's what's happening.

@Aquarius ❤ Are you asking or telling... if you've recognized, stick to your guns... If you're unsure keep inquiring.. Radical open-mindedness while simultaneously staying grounded is the best advice I've ever been given by Leo... There's absolutely nothing wrong with asking, and if you recognize what you've mentioned you recognize you will also recognize the limitations of asking anything. ?

What's an atheist? And apparent separate individual that doesn't believe in a higher source? So what does a higher source mean? Is it something outside of the minds limited understanding... if it is how can a mind understand it. Higher Source or God may be so Advanced it doesn't have an agenda, it doesn't have a requirement ...maybe it just is... Is God a thought within the thought of an apparent separate individual that hopes there's something more to existence than this life and it's apparent short time here. Is God completely unknowable and unfathomable? Is God an illusion or a thought created by Deep cultural conditioning? Is God the infinite energy or unlimited pure potentiality? Is God a Dream Within A Dream Within A Dream within Infinity. If the source that creates infinite ideas or thoughts about what God is was recognized to be illusory where does that leave us. Row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream. The Trap is trying to know... The freedom lies in Unknowing...❤ Don't believe anything that was said here... find out!!

And the belief that there is a higher perspective as opposed to lower perspective is still caught in the dream and is still duality ? And that's just fine because it's what's happening it's whole complete and perfect but for No One. ❤

Just be aware that the ego is very cunning, it will do whatever it takes to survive. It will slip in the back door like a wolf in sheep's clothing only now emerging as the new improved Higher Self or True Self or Self-Realized Self or Spiritual Self or God... This newfound spiritual ego is extra sneaky because it sensed annihilation and now subtly returns as the loving do-gooder Self... the ego knows, why would anybody try to get rid of a good/spiritual 'ME' Watch from 4:00 - 6:54

There are three stages of enlightenment. "The first is when the first glimpse happens. I call it mini-satori. When, for the first time, for a single moment mind is not functioning, there is a gap – no thought between you and existence. You and existence, you and existence… for a moment… and the meeting, and the merging, and the communion, and the orgasm… but for a moment. And from that moment the seed will be in your heart and growing. The second I call satori: that is when you have become capable of retaining this gap as long as you want. For hours together, for days together you can remain in this interval, in this utter aloneness, in God, with God, as God. But a little effort is still needed on your part. If you drop the effort the satori disappears. The first satori, the mini-satori, happened almost as an accident – you were not even expecting it. How can you expect? You had not known it before, you had never tasted it. How can you expect it? It came just out of the blue. Yes, you were doing many things – praying, meditating, dancing, singing – but they were all like groping in the dark. You were groping. It will not happen if you are not groping at all. It happens only to ‘gropers’, real gropers – they go on groping, they never feel tired and exhausted, and they never feel hopeless. Millions of times they are defeated in their effort, and nothing happens, but they go on and on. Their passion for God is so tremendous. They can accept all kinds of defeats and frustrations, but their search continues. Unwavering, they go on groping. The darkness is great, it seems to be almost endless, but their hope is greater than the darkness. That is the meaning of faith; they grope through faith. Faith means hoping for that which seems almost impossible. Faith means hoping against all hope. Faith means trying to see that which you have not seen, and you cannot even be certain whether it exists or not. A great passion is needed to have that much faith. So to a groper who lives in faith and goes on and on, nothing ever prevents him. No failure ever settles in him; his journey continues. He is the pilgrim. Then one day it comes just out of the blue. You were not expecting. Unawares, it comes close to you and surrounds you. For a moment you cannot even believe… How can you believe? – for millions of lives a person has been groping, and it has not happened. The first time it looks almost like imagination, dream. But it is there, and it is so real that all that you have known before as real pales before it, becomes very faint. It is so real that it carries its certainty intrinsically. It is self-evident. You cannot suspect it. That is the criterion of whether the mini-satori has happened or not: you cannot doubt it. You can try, but you cannot doubt it. It is so certain that no doubt arises in that moment. It is simply there. It is like the sun has risen… how can you doubt? Then the second becomes a more conscious groping. Now you know it is, now you know it has happened. Now you know it has even happened to you! Now there is a great certainty. Now faith is not needed, now experience is enough. Now belief is not needed. Now its certainty permeates your whole being, you are full of it. Now you grope more consciously, you make efforts in the right direction. Now you know how it happened, when it happened, in what space it became possible. You were dancing? – then what was happening when it happened? In what way did the contact become possible? By and by, it happens again and again, and you can make out, figure out, reckon out how it happens, in what mood. In what mood do you fall in tune with it and it happens? Now things become more clear, now it is not just waiting in the darkness. You can start moving, you can have a direction. Still you falter, still sometimes you fall, still sometimes it disappears for months. But never again can doubt arise in you. The doubt has been killed by the first satori. Then, more and more, it will come. And sooner or later you will become capable of bringing it on order. Whenever you want you can create that milieu in you which brings it. You can relax, if it comes in relaxation; you can dance, if it comes in dance. You can go under the sky if it comes there. You can watch a rose flower if it happens there. You can go and float in a river if it happens there. That’s how all the methods have been discovered. They have been discovered by people when they found out that in a certain situation – make certain arrangements – it happens. Those became methods. By and by you become very very certain that if you desire it, any moment you will be able, because you can move your focus towards it. You can move your whole consciousness, you can direct your being. Now you become able to see that it is always there; just your contact is needed. It is almost like your radio or like your TV: it is always there, sounds are always passing; you just have to tune the radio to a certain station – and the song, and the news. This is the second stage. But still, effort is needed to tune. You are not continuously tuned on your own, you have to work it out. Some days it is easy, some days it is hard. If you are in a negative mood it is hard, if you are angry, it is hard. If you are loving it is easier. In the early morning it is easier, in the evening it is more difficult. Alone on a mountain it is easier, in the market-place it is more difficult. So you start coming closer and closer, but still effort is needed. Then the third thing happens. When you become so capable of finding it that any moment, whenever you want it – not a single moment is lost – you immediately can pinpoint it, then the third thing happens. It becomes a natural quality. That I call samadhi. Satori one, satori two, satori three… The first satori must have happened somewhere in the East – in Tibet or in India. Jesus was with Buddhist Masters. The first satori must have happened somewhere here, because to the Jews samadhi had never been a concern. Jesus brings something very foreign to the Jewish world: he introduces Buddha into the Jewish world. It must have happened somewhere in Nalanda, where he stayed for many years. But he was travelling – he was in Egypt, he was in India, in Tibet. So nobody can be certain of where it happened. But more possibility is India: it remains, for centuries, the country where satori has been more available than anywhere else – for a certain reason – because so many people have been meditating here. Their meditation has created very potential spots, very available spots. It must have happened somewhere here, but no record is there, so I’m not saying anything historical. But about the second: it is certain it happened in the River Jordan with John the Baptist when he initiated Jesus into his path – the path of the Essenes. He was a great Master, John the Baptist, a very revolutionary prophet. The second satori must have happened there. It is depicted as a white dove descending on Jesus. The white dove has always been the symbol of peace, silence. That is the symbol for satori – the unknown descending. The second satori must have happened there. And John the Baptist said “My work is finished. The man has come who will take it over from me. Now I can renounce and go into the mountains. I was waiting for this man.” And the third happened just on the cross – the last effort of the ego – very tiny, but still… Jesus must have desired how things should be in some way. Deep down, in some unconscious nook or comer of his being, he must have been hoping that God would save him. And God never moves according to you. Man proposes and God disposes – that’s how he teaches you to disappear, that’s how he teaches you not to will on your own, not to have a private will. And the last lesson happened on the cross, at the last moment. Jesus shouted, almost in agony “Why have you forsaken me? Why have you deserted me? What wrong have I done?” But he was a man of great insight – the man of second satori. Immediately he must have become aware that this was wrong: “That means I still have a desire of my own, a will of my own. That means I still am not totally in God. My surrender is still only ninety-nine per cent.” And a surrender that is ninety-nine per cent is a no-surrender, because surrender is one hundred per cent. A circle is a circle only when it is complete. You can’t call a half-circle a half-circle, because ‘circle’ means complete. There are no half-circles. There is no approximate truth. The approximate truth is still a lie; either it is true or it is not true. There is nothing like approximate truth, and there is nothing like approximate surrender. In that moment he realised. He relaxed, he surrendered. He said “Let Thy kingdom come. Who am I to interfere? Let thy will be done”… and the third satori, samadhi. That moment, Jesus disappeared. And I call that moment his resurrection. That is the moment Buddha says: gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha: Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond. What ecstasy! Alleluia! That is the moment of absolute benediction. Jesus became God. The Son became Father in that moment; all distinction disappeared. The last barrier dissolved, Jesus had come home". -- Osho, I Say Unto You, Vol 1, Ch 4, Q 4

@zeroISinfinity they are loved no worries... it's the same unconditional love held for everything... ❤ You are free to believe anything you want ...."it is that free"

Enjoyed how he described "it's not a gaining but a letting go", it happens to be the most difficult ingredient.... really resonated here...

Deep inner exploration here has led to what he discusses around 18:20 and on... although all his videos are quite good.

There isn't distance to what is already the case. It isn't a process, a path to follow or a goal to achieve in the future... rather Enlightenment is already the case, its what is here and now. To say someone is not there yet, is the dream, is Maya, is a misunderstanding that there is an individual that can one day achieve something called enlightenment. This is the dream. An individual never becomes enlightened... Enlightenment is the recognition that there never was a separate individual located within the body/mind organism. It was Maya illusion of the self. Then it could be said that Enlightenment isn't real because there's No One, No Individual that actually becomes enlightened. This is why it's often called an unveiling or a lifting of the Veil. It's already the case it just needs to be recognized or seen with clear eyes. I agree with your statement that one can't say who they are ❤ Because the one that believes it could know something is the illusion itself.. This is about Unknowing!!

Sounds very interesting...❤ The recognition here was that there actually isn't a Self.... it was just a misidentification with thought and contracted energy inside the body. This made it much easier to let go of past conditioning / egoic self agenda... I wouldn't describe the experience here as self-love but rather when the truth is desired more than life itself it's easier to let go and "die before you die" It was also recognized that the ego was trying to sneak in the back door and create another identity to keep it self intact in a more subtle and sneaky way ie: True Self, Higher Self or God. But this trick was recognized for what it was... sneaky spiritual ego tactic. There is nothing left to adopt another concept of what I was, it was just recognized to be nothing, which was always the case.

@SamueLSD ❤

Forgive everything and everyone in your life... plug up all the holes where energy is escaping and harness it and all other anxious energy for awakening. Don't let any energy escape anywhere else. If you're serious it should be the top priority above everything else in life.... it should actually be easy. Does not mean you can't function in the world... its that Underneath It All the main focus is finding truth. Then when it's recognized that Enlightenment is not a gaining but a falling away..... allow everything to completely collapse including the seeking energy and all conditioned thoughts.. Good luck my friend ❤

The distractions can be the reminders and the reminders can be the distractions!!

It appears fairly fresh so there's some clearing up that will probably take place.... He's not sitting on park benches for 2 years like Eckhart Lol but it's different for everyone.

Who or what wants to know? See there's not an issue with asking a question but it subtly sets up another thought that something needs to be discovered or realized for fulfillment to take place. This is how the constant seeking energy perpetuates it's illusory reality... the sense of self is looking for a solution to its apparent feeling of separation. But there isn't a real entity inside the body that is apart from the everything. So the simple answer to this question is that when the separate sense of self dies there's no one or no thing left that needs an answer. So what's longed for is the recognition that nothing was ever missing and therefore nothing needs to be found. So the separate sense of self Longs for the peace and tranquility that comes with no longer needing to seek for an answer... but as soon as it senses its own annihilation in the process, the only thing it could ever say is: THIS is NOT IT... This is why it's been called to (die before you die) Imagination is infinite and appears within the nothing and everything... it doesn't come from anyting because it is everything and nothing.

It's something because it's what's apparently happening... everything that arises is it. It's nothing because it's empty in a sense that it has no real meaning purpose or value to any of it... it can't be pinned down labeled and placed in a box. Any label or meaning placed on it is just a projection from a conditioned thought and therefore it could be said it's indescribable and incomprehensible... it's truly unknowable and what IS!! It's nothing and it's simultaneously everything...❤ ❤

Yep that's it... it's been called Awakening and Enlightenment Liberation Nirvana Buddha nature and on and on it goes of course the words cannot describe it ... this is spot-on He's describing cessation of the whirlwind of the Mind...Samadhi This cessation can happen numerous times and reveal that there is more than the mind and it's conditioned thoughts.. It's not that thinking doesn't necessarily arise again it's that what's being thought is no longer personal it's just thought arising for No One. The stories are no longer created about how something should have went because there is no longer a Personal Agenda that needs it to be a certain way. Mind then becomes in service and not a hindrance The seeking energy then slowly dies out more and more because they are not being stimulated or perpetuated any longer ❤ great video ❤

There isn't a somebody, that's the dream... This communication goes beyond the dualistic/limited idea of something being true or untrue right or wrong this or that good or bad. It's pointing to the recognition that everything is already whole complete and perfect, it's already Paradise it's already the kingdom of heaven. ( the only thing that would say otherwise is a limited ego mind with its own agenda which isn't a real entity but a misidentification as the self structure)

Even if you realized you are God or met God and the secrets of the universe/existence were revealed or whatever.... it still wouldn't matter because the ego is not in the business of dissolving, it's in the business of surviving. The separate sense of self/ego mind does not want to ever truly find an answer. In fact once it senses fulfillment it automatically goes into THIS is NOT It mode because it senses it's own demise. The seeking is what perpetuates it's illusory existence and keeps it from falling away. "The ego says seek but do not find" -- A Course in Miracles (ACIM)

"It will not be a matter of saying 'Here it is' or 'There it is'. Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it." -- Gospel of Thomas

Sounds very interesting ❤ One time on LSD I saw Noah's Ark surfing on a 500 foot wave. It definitely felt direct here at the time for sure. It's whole complete and perfect because it's what it is!! Take care my friend and maybe we can chat again another time.
