    There is far more to this work than one enlightenment.

    Neo-Adavaita is dangerously oversimplified. You are never going to master consciousness through something like Neo-advaita.

    To master consciousness will take you tens of thousands of hours. Not just 1000. Some of you guys keep not understanding this.

    You preach radical open mindedness, yet you don't seem to be open minded to the idea that you could possibly be wrong.

    Again, you can't possibly know that it will take tens of thousands of hours, you just don't know this. When you are in seeker mode, just like you are, of course you will assume it will take you that long of a time. 

    I would take oversimplified, rather than over complicated any day of the week. Get one enlightenment, before you try to get 100 others (if there is such a thing). 

    Can it be possible that it is actually simple, but your EGO wants to make it too complicated?  - Contemplate this question

    You guys are fairly clueless as to what stabalization in basic non duality is, and how far that is from full enlightenment.

    Watching a tolle video doesn’t change that.  He is pretty unaware of how deep the rabbit hole goes too.

    I am not the only one saying that either. Ramaji puts him in the first stage of enlightenment. Jan esmann thinks he isn’t too advanced either, but why listen to everyone I just mentioned. You watched a tolle video, and had an awakening once. You know enlightenment and reality like the back of your hand. 

    I didn't say watching a Tolle video would get you the "full enlightenment". I posted an example of a great explanation of what it actually is, as opposed to what it is not.

    I have not heard of those 2 people you mentioned. But as far as I know, actual "enlightened" teachers don't put other teachers into categories, such as "first stage", "2nd stage", etc or give their opinion on one's advancement. There is no possible way that know who is actually "enlightened" and who is "not".  That alone is already a red flag for me, when it comes to those 2 teachers you mentioned.

    You seem to be trapped in "spiritual seeking", with all of the conceptualizing and intellectualizing of "enlightenment". Goes back to my point - until you drop the seeking and drop the idea that "enlightenment" is something to be attained in the future, you will not get to "enlightenment".  You are not alone, there are thousands of seekers seeking for years.

    Which is why I say it's an advanced thing requiring 1000s of hours of practice.

    Then I get criticized that, "Leo, enlightement doesn't take thousands of hours."

    You can't possibly know if it takes 1000 hours or 100 hours, can you? By saying it would take "x amount of hours" is already misleading, because you are implying that enlightenment is something that 1) Can be attained , and 2) Something to be attained in the future. Ironically, you will never have the "enlightenment", because you have already made it into a future goal. Just look at the all the seekers who have been seeking for 10s of years. 

    Eckhart has a perfect explanation, which even you LEO don't seem to fully get yet:

    I have not vaped it. Because after I snorted 30mg the trip was so intense it felt traumatizing and physically harmful. So I'm not eager to go any more intense than that.

    The intensity I get from plugging is so powerful I don't need any more intensity. And if I did, I could always up the plugged dose.

    Properly vaporizing a dose can also be challenging. Vaporizing HCl can be tricky as it burns. It also smells gross and I'm not sure if it's healthy for the lungs.

    You must understand that people have their own partial perspectives.

    Martin has some good ideas, but they are partial. He has never plugged 5-MeO.

    My 5-MeO experiences are different from what Martin describes in his books. People react to these substances in unique ways. I am not against vaping. I've just resonated with the plugging. Sometimes you find something that's so good it is perfect, requiring nothing more. That's where I'm at with plugged 5-MeO. To me, it is perfect. It is just absolutely perfect.

    Try various methods and see which you like most. Don't turn this into an ideological battle.

    I have personally snorted it and found it to be extremely awful, and not effective. I have vaped it many times(with a shaman and by myself) and can tell you that to me vaping is perfect but you can also choose a lesser dose for vaping it.(Yes it is extremely intense, nothing can compare to it) I think your reason for not vaping it, is based on fear. Vaping a dosages that Martin W Ball recommends are extremely intense but safe though(you don't feel the physical harm that you feel with snorting). 

    The biggest difference here, is that you still get insights while doing 5_MEO, and if you vaped it - there would be no more of that. And a part of your EGO doesn't want to surrender it, wants to continue to get more and more understandings. Martin W Ball states that there is actual no need for continuing trying to understand everything (egoic desire). This is till the phase that you are going through, but I do predict that one day you will surrender that part. ( have gone through it myself).

    Ironically, this guy is totally right. And the OP+comments in this thread are a proof of it. Even though LEO states to not follow him blindly, a lot of you follow him blindly, without understanding what he is saying. And given the amount of videos he releases, there is too much information for many to grasp. When anyone criticizes LEO, you feel the right to defend him - a trap of the EGO. What you did, is you replaced your "old" identity, with "spiritual" identity - AKA EGO.

    The more conscious you become, the desire to follow anyone or having a GURU disappears. And you are able to see the value in different perspectives.

    @GabeN I tried snorting only once, and that nothing compared to smoking it. Yes the come up is like being hit by a train going 500 miles per hour, but that is exactly the point - to overpower the mind, and the ego - and there you have a choice, to surrender or resist. Because of this, with smoking - the level of consciousness that you experience is infinitely higher.

    @Leo Gura Why do you advocate plugging instead of smoking 5-MEO? When you tried smoking it (full dosage), what was your experience?

    Martin Ball, one of the most experienced people with 5-MEO in the world, says that smoking 5-MEO is the most effective way. He talks about it in his books. He mentions that insights are not the primary goal when using 5-MEO DMT for liberation purposes. Basically it contradicts what you say. Would appreciate it if you could address this.
