    Say that to someone who tries to kill you. ?

    Indeed, as God we are One. This is however a matter of consciousness. You can become conscious of the Abolute, but this Absolute has literally designed itself in such power that to deny it is delusion. 

    Seperation is real, within consciousnesses. Duality is real within consciousness. 

    Don't try to somehow escape or transcend it, rather embrace and enjoy the shit out of it. 

    You can't escape this. All is Consciousness, be and embrace being the little unit of consciousness that you are. 

    I would say that to someone who's trying to kill me. I also told my wife the other day, that if someone killed one of our kids I would instantly forgive them. This understanding is not hard when you recognize the mechanism that creates the pain suffering and feelings of separation. "Forgive them for they know not what they do" Rings true in every sense!

    Duality is an illusion created by the mind. I didnt need to escape or trendsend anything, I just dispelled the ignorance surrounding it, and saw it for what it was, Unreal.

    Again it's not an escaping, it's a dispelling of ignorance that is recognized during Awakening.

    If the ignorance isn't completely dispelled and seen through, it wasn't true Awakening it was just a glimpse or a mystical experience which about 99.9% of everyone has. ❤

    @Lento I think it's important to be critical of all teachings. Leo has explicitly said not to follow one teaching. It is important to read around and experience a variety of resources when on the spiritual path. When he bangs on about psychedelics it can get a bit dull. If you don't read around you're vulnerable to idealism which can throw you off the path. 

     

     

    A lot of you guys think there is a path...there is no path and that's why its called the pathless path or the gateless gate.

    All that's required is recognizing there is no "ME" inside the human body. 

    Turn within and ask yourself: Who am I. Where is this "I" in this body. 

    Keep asking yourself Who Am I...

    Enlightenment is not a gaining of knowledge... it's a crumbling away of the self that never existed ❤

    Good luck!!

    The very feeling of needing to seek something to feel complete is hell. (Running on the hamster wheel).

    To recognize you are already perfection and have always been is Paradise is Freedom is Enlightenment...❤

    When you are free to act and behave spontaneously just out of the sheer Joy of doing it without attachment.

    There are no should or should not's, there is no purpose or meaning to anything... if there were it wouldn't be complete freedom... see it's Freer than free it's Absolute Freedom ❤ Unconditional love ❤

    This has always been the case it's just whether it's recognized or not...❤

    Personally I have not encountered any heavy side effects.

    Some people can get HPPD and the like. So there are some risks. Then again, meditation and kundalini awakening also carries some risk of side-effects.

    Some spiritual schools do. Weed and datura have been used in India for millennia by some schools. And then there is the ancient psychedelic drink called Soma, the contents of which we don't know for sure, but was likely similar to magic mushrooms.

    I haven't experienced any horrible side effects from psychedelic use either... but I have had several friends that committed suicide after years of use/abuse. I don't know of anyone who, after years of meditation or Kundalini Awakening.

    I'm sure a lot of it could be chalked up to family history of mental illness..

    Only the mind creates good/bad should/shouldn't's

    Nothing really matters...the separation never occurred... it is what it is.

    Enlightenment is realizing THIS is all there is was or ever will be. It's the beginning, the end and everything in-between it's the Absolute ❤

    It's as real and dreamlike as anything could be ...it's simply THIS!!

    Unknowing ?

    No, it's not useless. But it just cannot compare to a powerful psychedelic.

    It's the difference between a bow & arrow and a nuclear bomb.

    But also appreciate this: if you don't have a nuclear bomb, a bow & arrow is still damn useful.

    Yeah but the use...even responsible use of psychedelics can carry some heavy side effects with it that you don't usually include with your conclusions.

    Meditation can naturally still the Whirlwind of the mind and wake people up just as effectively without any of the nasty side effects.

    I will take your challenge using my deep meditation based Samadhi Experience VS your Psychedelic Absolute Infinity Awakening.

    Haha the funny thing is both are the same Absolute...

    My only question is do they use a lot of psychedelics in India Leo? Have you searched that one hmmm...

    @VeganAwake Wow thanks for ruining my day bud. I thought my ego could be tamed lol... 

    Haha... what those are good videos lol...sorry ?

    I like to describe the ego like a mirage of a Dr Pepper machine in a hot desert.

    It will keep you walking through hell to get a refreshing tasty beverage to quench your thirst.

    But when you stop and look closely at the Mirage you start to realize it's an illusion that had you continuously running on the hamster wheel.

    Yeah you can't bring the ego into alignment with anything because it's an illusion that is completely seen through during Awakening ❤

    The final awakening, so callled the end-of-suffering, did it happen after a meditation session? or reading a book?

    Recognize the sense of "ME" residing in the body is an illusion. Turn within and try to find where your located in the body itself. 

    Who are you, where are you, what makes up the ME. 

    Just check it out..

    What's wild about it if you are not in combat? 

    Also over your near 20 in the Navy how much indoctrination do you get as to "enemies" .  How much does that get talked about on an official basis?  A lot or a little?  

    Also how did your spirituality emerge?   Was it in reaction to being in the military or did it have nothing to do with it?  Did it come about literally while working in the Navy? Was it speaked by the internet or on leave or some special experience?  What were the circumstances.?
    It's interesting your circumstances seem to be pretty unusual.
     

    Just working for the government alone is a wild ride but I've also traveled all over the world and experienced a lot of cool things. I've been to Kuwait Honduras Afghanistan Dubai Lebanon Italy Greece Spain Japan Ireland.

    We're a small group that does construction so we don't worry about the enemy too much because we usually have a marine task force that protects us.

    My spirituality came upon from going vegan overnight. I realized the truth was right under my nose and it was probably the same about spirituality God Etc...

    I was a die-hard Seeker that didn't stop for 2 years straight... I was reading 7 or 8 spiritual books and doing meditation every single day I would even do it on my training exercises in the porta potty it was my top priority. At the time I didn't even know what was happening. 

    About a year and a half ago I experienced a deep Awakening where I realized there wasn't a ME..

    After that I untangled from social conditioning and snapped out of The Matrix. I have suffered a lot as my father was very verbally abusive and I don't really like the military but I just forced myself to stay in for the retirement money lol... I'm sure both had something to do with my Awakening.

    I would consider myself a truth-seeker I can spot the truth from a mile away I don't know why I've just always been good at it.

    Here is a video that describes almost my exact experience... it explained everything I was confused about ❤

    I agree I think my circumstances are pretty rare but it's the absolute ?

    @VeganAwake  Personal questions if you don't mind. 

    - The Navy accommodates vegans?   How is the food?

    -  While being in the Navy does your spirituality every come up in your service time or only when you are talking to people casually ?

    - Is it basically true that people who go into the army and marines now are interested in military action put could come home with PTSD but if you join the Navy or Airforce  you get the same benefits with much less combat risks?
     

    I don't mind ?

    They Don't Really accommodate but there are plenty of vegetarian options and it seems to be getting better every year.

    Most people don't talk about their spirituality at work but I've talked to several military chaplains and counselors while being in the military. They're supportive for the most part as long as you don't act like you're going crazy haha...

    Most people I work with realize I think outside the box and look at things a lot different than most..

    Yes I would recommend the Air Force Coast Guard or navy if you're avoiding combat. There will always be a risk in the military in general but it's much less in those services.

    Honestly the military is a wild ride I would recommend it to anybody for at least one tour...

    @LfcCharlie4  In my experience bro the higher self is just another version of the lower self. The thing is, there is still a ME... a separate sense of self that claims its just oneness.

    Both of these senses of self can be completely dropped it's a trip.

    You turn your head when someone calls your name because that's the conditioned body mind just reacting... it doesn't mean there is a ME inside of that body.

    Let me know if you understand what I'm talking about it's pretty radical ❤

    There literally is no one here...lol

    It's just THIS!!

    No purpose no meaning just THIS....hahaha

    It's too radical ?

    A good example is when the separate sense of self falls away, its simultaneously realized it never existed in the first place. It was an illusion that seemed to be real.

    This illusion is like an overlay placed over the top of reality. It makes everything appear a certain way, but once the overlay(veil) is removed, THIS is waiting with open arms, and its recognized there was never not THIS, it was just a flimsy overlay clouding up Paradise ?

    The separation never occurred...

    It's always only been THIS and its Absolute Freedom. ❤

    There is no purpose and meaning to anything, and there doesn't need to be...

    It's discovered that only an illusory lacking separate self needs meaning and purpose and constantly seeks to feel complete. 

    This illusory sense of self never finds what its looking for because its perfection seeking perfection within perfection... (running on the hamster wheel). 

    There is no separate self...

    Paradise is waiting...get off the hamster wheel...time to awaken the kingdom of heaven is at hand.❤

    This topic cracks me up so much because it's so easy to understand but difficult at the same time ❤

    The separation from oneness never occurred it was an illusion.

    Nonduality is all there ever has been and ever will be.

    If Oneness is already the case, twoness could never be...

    The ten thousand waves in the ocean were never something apart from the ocean. So you could say they're included but that doesn't make sense because they were never apart.

    The apartness is the illusion....

    Duality is an illusion...❤
