“Devotional service is the means…” -Lord Krishna The only thing I would add is to keep the mind transfixed on the Absolute/God/etc. while doing what you said above. Great thread.

There is no wrong thing to be doing as all you’re doing is being possessed by God/Universe whether you realize it or not. Jesus is sitting there fapping with you, so make sure it’s a good one.

Once you hit stream entry, you can really start loving such sensations with a lot more ease, at least from my direct experience. Vipassana is your friend. Lemme know if you want any tips on that stuff. For now, I’ll leave you with a GOAT video related to this. It’s all sensations broski, even thoughts.

Watched the whole thing. It was wonderful. Thank you for sharing ??❤️

Get a close friend who is a girl. Have one already? Get more. That’s what helped me be comfortable enough with women to get to the point of a relationship coming naturally out of those friend groups.

Bhakti Yoga is a great catalyst for spiritual progress on any path if you can awaken that love in an authentic way to yourself. https://www.yogabasics.com/learn/bhakti-yoga-the-yoga-of-devotion/

I was hospitalized about 10-15 times before reaching stream entry and a few times afterward. At 4th path (if we’re just using Theravada maps as a framework), I would say it would become increasingly rare that they would be swayed enough by the inner territory to be sent to the psych ward, yet still completely possible. Here’s what a bipolar person might look like after having 5 intense cessations while in the overall context of a powerful God Consciousness experience. The Most Enlightened State of Consciousness Ever Filmed (I = God/0) I was taken straight to a psych ward after the recording stops, lol.

And if I take this advice to it’s fullest, I’ll only end right back here and in more spirituality because it’s simply the most fun game in town. Sure I can enjoy other games.

LOL

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.
