The deity is a tool for transformation. Use it to connect via Bhakti, but always remember that it was created by you and is you.

Whether he tells you there is or isn’t anyone home does not change whether you can actually know if he is conscious or not.

Consciousness is variety. Make a unique story. The world doesn’t need another Mona Lisa. The world needs something new. Maybe you can be conscious and still materialistic? Maybe you simply enjoy material existence in a similar way to some here might say they enjoy the Truth. Can it not be both? I feel like having a physical body and lower desires is part of the design; it is not a flaw. Be careful though, this road can lead you to a place you really don’t want to be if you’re not careful.

First God Consciousness experience — oh, I created mushrooms for the sole purpose of waking myself up for the first time ever right this very moment...

You can be a loving idiot or one authentically egotistical genius. I used to tend towards the latter at stage orange. The materialist view is always one of separation. It brings some nihilism and hate with it. It’s generally a closing off of the heart. In this way, in cases which follow this — not all will, stage blue could be seen as still better than orange on that kind of level if you want to take it that far.

Yeah, he makes you think.

Astrology is basically generalization and judgment in the style of racism with a more subtle expression. It’s a far more complex system than how most people use it, so even if it’s real, it’s highly likely that it’s doing little to no good for people using it.

How are you sure it’s a good idea to equate NDEs to stage blue? Honestly NDEs disprove much of stage blue due to the relativity involved. If everyone went to Christian heaven or hell during NDEs, that would be support of stage blue although that still is only a small portion of stage blue. NDEs are much more supportive of stage green and beyond due to it requiring a superior than stage orange or blue outlook to even have a chance of making sense of NDEs in general. NDEs will eventually contradict something about most religions.

Don’t forget the “passive income” of real estate. It’s not 100% passive unless you pay a management company for everything, but it is typically a really small amount of work for the money after the renovation/purchase process is over. Real estate has created the most millionaires in the U.S. The real “passive income” sources require either significant work or money or both to be invested at the beginning to then continue to grow over time. I’m 3 years into owning a rental property investment company, and I nearly make my entire investment back in income and equity growth each year already. The business model scales quite well and quickly if done right.

The war on drugs.

Broaden your understanding across many disciplines and trust your own insights and conclusions as well if you want to lower the chance of idolizing a specific individual. Idolizing someone isn’t always necessarily a bad thing. In many cases it could take you in the right direction, but it is always going to be a sort of crutch. Until you reclaim your own authority, you will be forced to operate in limited ways.

Try to see where fear turns into love and love turns into fear. That might help. Acting to enlighten all beings is only allowed by the preference of that condition above letting beings remain unenlightened. This preference could easily be partially described through the lens of either love or fear as motivating factors. Your fear of losing the conditions of this human life are what perpetuate the experience of things as they are for you. To lose all fear and dying are quite similar.

You can always try meditating less once you start to feel that it’s getting too intense.

Sounds like it’s time for a laziness retreat. I’ve been on one for about a month due to a significant injury, and it’s been incredibly spiritually enriching. You’ll never perfect what is already perfect. Trying to do so is normal and addictive though. Nothing wrong with playing the game.

5g of shrooms. I’ve had similarly as crazy experiences sober, but psychedelics are a great tool for opening you up to realize there are so many more possibilities than previously could’ve been imagined.

I once completely transformed into the body an octopus goddess and spoke in “tongues” you might expect an octopus goddess to use — truly remarkable sounds to still be produced by the human mouth. This lasted for several hours. That’s the closest thing I can think of. I mean my limbs literally turned into tentacles, and the sensations were so lifelike that it really felt like I was unquestionably in an entirely different form. Anything is possible as consciousness.

You are magically manifesting whatever device you’re using to view this just as much as you are growing your own hair right now. Everything is you, and everything is done by you.

Your resistance to Existence is a short-term strategy for happiness. Seeing a problem with porn, ice cream, normal humanity... do you not see how this is hate and judgment coming from inside of you? You’re having a reaction to different “shadow” elements of life such as excess, addiction, hedonism, etc., but this means that you’ve already drawn a clear line around yourself to separate your identity as much as you can from many of these things. Partial identities are the cause of ALL problems that have ever existed. Essentially the deepest teaching is that you are the present moment as it exists in it’s entirety from “your perspective” right now. You can call that God if you like. As long as you have anything within you that finds reprehensible qualities in Life/Reality/Existence, you are setting yourself up for long-term conflict within yourself. This doesn’t mean that you go start a bunch of bad habits, but seeing part of reality as a target or enemy is going to cause suffering. You’re a human being though still. There’s nothing ultimately wrong with you seeing porn as a bad idea in the same way as Leo wanting to masturbate occasionally is not ultimately wrong. It’s your individual survival strategy for your personal situation right now. Just because you aren’t aligned with God Consciousness 24/7, enlightened, or a saint doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. You’re expressing human life in a unique form. So is everyone else. The “highest” things are not the only things that have value in life.

Idk I take this knowledge for granted a lot. I forget the inexplicably epic journey I took to come to such a conclusion on a deep and meaningful level. Rather than it just being a belief or conjecture, I’ve experienced different angles of perspective all essentially pointing to that conclusion when scrutinized properly.

Which is what God is, so...

Infinite Consciousness is always at hand. The regular state is just what we are overly-oriented to, so it seems boring and finite.

Anybody saying they know the future is far more likely to be deluded than someone honestly admitting their ignorance. I think saying with certainty what will happen 30 minutes from now requires a level of madness and arrogance I’d rather stay away from.

This. The “fabric” of Existence is Absolute Love. You’re in a padded pit of foam balls convinced wholeheartedly that the foam balls are going to kill you. This is the problem with fear. It constrains the Absolute Self for the sake of the relative self.

Can omniscience be given a meaningful definition in English? I know I have approached this topic with the word’s more traditional definition/connotation, and Leo seemed to point to there being a significant distinction between what he was shown in his awakenings vs. the traditional definition/interpretation. A lot of people say things such as “if you’re omniscient, why can’t you predict lottery numbers?” Under a typical definition, it would be fair to say that this is knowledge which could be possessed. Is there a specific definition for what it means to be all-knowing which explains how this is not a contradiction? It certainly seems like you’re not including all measurement-style “facts” to be under the umbrella of omniscience how you use it. Correct me if/where I’m wrong.

@Leo Gura Deconstructing perspective/s is essentially a type of oneness experience. Perspective is experienced or recognized as an illusion or temporary lens over “Being,” so all points truly feel to be just as central to the experience as any others. It doesn’t really speak accurately about the radical degree of the experience, but it’s a decent depiction.
