Hey Guys, I made a video on comparing the use of psychedelics vs meditation solely for awakening work. I’m still new to this so please be kind and cool. But I am open to feedback and discussion. Enjoy

@bambi I understand what you’re requesting but it’s hard to answer. It’s like requesting me to draw in a page the dimensions of the depths of the ocean. I’ve spent 6 weeks with Ralston in person and read all his major books, some many times over. Slowly he begins to change your whole way of thinking and looking at reality. I can tell you it is NOT like other spiritual books, at all. It’s another beast completely. He fucks your whole mind open. On his retreats I had awakenings daily, and it’s not just enlightenment. We dove into the illusory nature of language, identity, emotions, space, social constructs, perception, basically how the whole thing works, not just what it is (awareness, nothingness)- as other spiritual books and @Water by the River would tell you

@MsNobody I felt that way when I started Religion of Tomorrow, but Wilber is top 3 in the world, at least in teachers. He has such a deep grasp on all of this material and is the only teacher to truly lay out and address both the horizontal (being a human) and vertical (being consciousness) He does seem to struggle with making it understandable and easy to read but I think that’s just because he’s such a genius.

“Just to conceptually grasp what he's said in the first half (100 pages) took me 15-20 hours (that's about 10x the time it takes to just read 100 pages). But I was super careful in not letting a single phrase slide with being misinterpreted or missed entirely.” This guy knows how to read Ralston

@Water by the River why not explore and go deeper into both up and down?

@Javfly33 when you say you are consciousness creating a hand, are you admitting you have no control over it? Like how you have control over the words you type? Whats willing consciousness? What’s willing those limitations?

@Water by the River what is your take on enlightenment versus God realization? I’m curious. Realizing you are the ocean and wave surfing. How is God realization different from wave surfing ?

Wilber isn’t lost in his mind he just knows how to use it

You’re clearly quite conscious but consider that you are wrong about Ralston. Fuck his YouTube videos. Pick up his books and study them like a calculus text

This. He’s actually autistic, so the way he obsessively picks apart reality is beautiful for the real nerds

This is the point though! The point is to wave surf! Do you think God (You) is stupid and would just create the waves for something to be tireing? It’s imporant to know how the car functions (wheels/enlightenment) but take the fucking thing for a drive and explore the roads. I think this is what Leo is saying he’s doing. Enlightenment is important but it’s kinda like once you get it, go explore.

This dude is woke af

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone! ❤️ I really appreciate all the positivity, support, and suggestions. Def going to get a better mic and work on concise content. Much Love 🙏

It’s also interesting to consider if Ralston is so conscious because of his hard work ethic. It doesn’t make sense in a metaphysical sense that consciousness wouldn’t allow for itself to grow and develop close to its true nature and just be totally “stuck in a dream” I agree there are definitely limitatios consciousness places on itself (frankly it would suck if there weren’t, imagine if everyone could just meditate themselves into an alien or kangaroo, NO, you’re here for the full human experience AS God and you’re silly ego isn’t going to fuck that up) It would take away from the legitimacy of the dream. So putting it all on genetics is a bit of a cop out, even the biggest idiot in Missippi could take up meditation and drastically shift their spiritual intelligence and consciousness. Some may be more gifted, sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible for others. Just takes hard work.

Javfly, no matter how much you meditate or do yoga there are still legit limitations on you, you can’t turn your hand into a claw, no matter how many psychedelics or yoga you do.

I agree with Javfly. Consciousness can absolutely be developed and increased. But the desire for it and seeking out of it might be more a genetic predisposition and those who have it are certainly blessed

I’ve spent about 6 weeks with Ralston in person, and it’s true. You really have to see him in person to “get it” better. Although his books are super deep, and to be read extremely slowly like you’re trying to learn calculus from it. The stuff he’s pointing to is absurdly profound

This is a great question I’ve also thought about. I consider it’s mostly the culture you grow up in, the people around you. If you grew up in a torquoise society you’d likely be turquoise

Not sure what he meant, but I would say it’s the energy more than the conversation. When you speak with Northern women, they just aren’t that feminine and the energy of the interaction is less fluid. She has more programming of how you have to act and more judgements of you for being a man

Yeah I resonate. I only do much better in intimate locations where I can actually focus on the conversation. From what I can gather, clubs are not really for talking it’s more dancing and acting stupid

This makes no sense. There are things that the feminine can do to enchance the polarization of energy in your masculine. Similar to how you might feel more masculine when lifting weights, working on a project, or accomplishing goals. Women can also brings this out. If you don’t understand that or have never felt that, I feel sorry for you

Bro! Huge smile on my face reading this. Finally someone who gets it! It’s so beyond spiral dynamics it’s energetic and polarizing sexual energies. It’s perfect. Once you see it you can’t unsee it and it’s like hitting a gold mine. All the best man

Looks like we got in at the right time. True wisdom will become lost because you need humans to teach truly spiritual material. It has to be emptied and understood by another real human

Deeply grateful for Leo’s work. It truly transformed my life in ways a younger me would’ve only dreamed of and still does, it’s like he sparked the flame and now it just keeps growing and growing into this bonfire of God, Love and Passion. Infinite gratitude brother. I am you and you are me and we are one

Honestly man, you’re in the wrong place. Toronto has a very anti male culture and it’s hard to be a masculine man there. Most Canadian women I meet are just not that attractive and very out of touch with what it means to be sexy. This is why you feel that way. It’s because they are NOT Godesses. The toxic feminist of that culture have stripped that from them and those women are not in tune with their sexual power or how to make a man feel like a man. Currently I’m in Brazil. A very rich feminine culture where sexuality is something of pride and even the fattest women can be sexy with just how confident they are. But most of them aren’t fat. They take care of their bodies, know what it means to be feminine and naturally make you feel like a more masculine man. This isn’t a stupid spiral dynamics debate and it’s not an issue of development. These women are naturally just sexier and more feminine because their culture encourages it, and yes, they are Godesses here. Actual Godesses. I’m in constant awe of this place and even reluctantly talking about it because I don’t want a bunch of men coming here fucking it up
