Leo is not enlightened according to what enlightenment actually meant before people started changing the definition to fit their own agenda. Everything (and non thing) and everyone (and no one) is enlightenment however. Regardless, he’s doing great work which is Authentic, and that’s really more important than being enlightened.

This is true on some levels as long as you add in proper discernment. Had an awakening to it myself while in God Consciousness and having 5 cessations in about 30 minutes.

Less resistance might be a simple way of saying this in English.

I’m in the same exact boat, and the simple answer is YES it is completely possible.

Realize that all you have to do is just chill while meditating. Here’s where I had a conversation with an Arahant who told me this. The Chill Master approach works quite well. Also try mindfulness or vipassana off of the cushion (normal life).

All I know is that, from my direct experience, his stuff works wonders. He knows what he is talking about IMO.

Yeah I was in a pretty strong Arising & Passing Away insight stage when I made that email, so it was “ungrounded” as some say. Regardless, sharing it is just another part of my radical honesty. It’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Everything is on and off. 1 and 0. Sensation and cessation. Life is flickering in and out of existence faster than you can currently perceive, at least for now.

How would that be any different that here? It’s just an arbitrary upgrade that looks good because it’s rare for us. If it was common for them, they’d have to seek something else for there to be any meaning to that existence. Be happy where you are. Trust me; I’ve seen a lot and really deconstructed this stuff even if it’s hard to resonate with what I wrote above. We’re in a morphing video game where no golden coin remains the prize for long.

I share my phone number on my YouTube channel already. Phone numbers, apps, information, it’s all temporary stuff, and having fear that some hacker is out to get me has thus far been proven by direct experience to be ludicrous. So what? They make some money off of me? They cause me some challenges? It will be the right challenge at the right time. That is all that God ever provides.

Because I love him Leo. That is all. Why do you still answer a friend or family member’s calls? Or do you cut yourself from all humans…. It’s just a human connection thing. Also, I’m quite convinced this has nothing to do with Russell Brand answering or not. I needed to simply express myself, and I have had a long video planned for you when the time feels right thanking you for your influence on my life. The path upward is love, and that includes both relative and more absolute expressions of it.

Try interpreting it as an angel communicating with you. Many people claim this is not a physical issue alone, and if it’s worse during meditation, I’d say what they say applies to you just as it did me. The Divine is directly trying to communicate with you. Just accept the message. I highly doubt you will regret this decision, and I’m fairly confident you’ll be worse off by not following it.

He’s a bit of a noob in that regard, but it’s not his fault. He’s done the meditation and read the right resources. His brain or God or something is keeping him from making progress in that direction for now, so it’s fine that he uses the psychedelic route to explore and develop both himself and his life purpose in truly venerable ways. His work is great even if he isn’t at the first level of permanent awakening in Theravada Buddhism for example which appears to be the case from my vantage point of being the psychedelic lover who found out they are just a stepping stone in many ways as almost all the more experienced masters have been communicating. I didn’t believe it either. I wanted to think psychedelics were the answer, and they might still have a place even after permanent attainments. It’s just obvious to me now that if you’re limited to only reaching the highest through substances you are not very developed in some of the most fundamentally important aspects of spirituality. And that’s really not Leo’s fault at all. It’s just karma/the conditions of his existence. And he’s bound to perceive any such statement about him as one from below, but well, who cares? All I can say is that when he finally does reach cessation, he’ll see that the psychedelics are ultimately weaker, however, his cessations will produce much more rapid progress than a normal meditator’s cessations as he has supercharged the Arising & Passing Away insight stage with all of these attempts at what he thinks is God Realization.

AMEN ❤️????

You’re my favorite Bum. Glad to see we’re both getting pulled to the Heavens of the Mundane Divinity simultaneously.

Hey, sometimes I think you’re a bit of a dick, but I know you’re really just being a Dick. Keep Taoing on bro ❤️

I literally just had an awakening to Love then went to open my phone and it was 4:33. I waited to unlock my phone until it hit 4:34 intentionally as a bit of homage to 434. You can get direct conversation with Peter (434 YT creator) if you pay a donation for his time. Throw him $50-$100 for an hour or maybe more if he’s got time, and I promise you it will be worth it. He’s a beautiful soul.

Haha ? I Love you Leo ❤️

If she’s talking about fearing fear.

Yeah… that Buddha guy wasn’t very awake.

I just said to be careful not to make an assumption. That’s all. I was just trying to give you an answer.

Just adding from my experience: sitting meditation and following rules is “for the birds” as they say. Maybe you need it for now to build a good foundation, but effective meditation can be done in any pose or while doing or not doing anything. Most of the time I just lay the fuck down, listen to some good music or a Frank Yang video, and directly investigate the sensations which arise (vipassana). Sometimes the sensations which arise are self-inquiry, do nothing meditation, crazy exalted states of consciousness, w/e. Just investigate. Frank Yang says vipassana means to penetrate and see clearly. Daniel Ingram and others emphasize focusing on the three characteristics (no self, dukkha, impermanence) within the sensations as being vipassana. They’re ultimately the same thing, but starting with the three characteristics as a foundation taught me how to do vipassana effectively. When you’re doing any meditation well, you should have access to a ridiculous amount of energy. This might be a settled/peaceful energy, but you’re not going to fall asleep unless you’re a Navy Seal at the end of Hell Week and sleep deprived to all hell. None of this advice might be right for you right now, but at a certain point, freeing yourself from traditionally stressed ideas of the “shoulds” and “should nots” of meditation can be incredibly beneficial. You cannot embody things to the level of Realization (permanent baseline consciousness shifts) with any ease if you are running against your intuition and nature. You deviate from the Tao when you try too hard to align with it as one old master said (forget who). You can pound your head forcefully into the concrete in 10,000 hours of meditation against your True Nature and get somewhere, or you could just let yourself flow as the Nature/Tao you are authentically. In truth, you never can change anything at all, ever. You’re on a rollercoaster ride rather than driving a car wherever you want, and somehow, the sensations of choice are an integral part of that Natural, infinitely linked chain of causation happening only right here, right now. Good luck. Godspeed. And remember to enjoy the ride ??
