To me this whole concert is a masterclass on performing acoustic guitar songs, as well as song writing. These songs take you somewhere. So visual and emotional for me.

If someone did awaken to realize they were God, in a complete state of omnipresent consciousness… they would be the most conscious thing in the universe. If anyone did this, that would be true. This is only true if it’s possible, if that’s the true nature of reality, consciousness and if you are truly God. Only by actually becoming God, can someone truly know God due to its ontological nature. This does not negate non-duality. For those who have studied non-dual shiva tantra or even Taoism they would know from the Tao, or from Shiva… God, which is perfect union with itself totally awake and eternal… comes all our finite reality. If God is true, and the big bang is not then the true science would have to include God, Awakening and Infinity. I have not seen a single person completely strongman the big bang. They always say “nothing existed, but if we bring in X…. Then they changes everything”….. True understanding would have to close the gap between consciousness and the origin of consciousness. Reality that created itself would have to remerge into to completely understand and awaken to itself that its what it is and always has been. Then, if someone had done more philosophical work at a deeper, more broad level awakened and then returned to human consciousness they would be able to articulate this Oneness, this omnipresent truth of the fundamental nature of reality to others who are still in the dream. But, they could only communicate with with their finite psychology, limited human understanding, biases, imperfections, survival considerations, social contexts, etc. Other humans with no deep philosophical, meditative, and awakening experience would find that individual extremely threatening. They would accuse him of all sorts of things. If this is possible. But belief or disbelief isn’t good enough. If this is true, that it’s possible and can be done by most humans… but, we have never considered this widely as a species it’s surely going to be controversial because it threatens everything we know to be true. Humans literally kill and bomb over this. Humans kill for survival and to defend their relative walled garden of partial truths or even falsehoods. To me this would suggest that reality is by design not to expose us to our true nature as God. Though, over time it was built in to awaken of those who chose to do this. If it’s true. I can see that being the case. There is clearly an intelligent design to human life with lots of relative spiritual teachings, beliefs, states, religions, etc. All this is good. Finite relative reality is good. Being God all the time, being totally aware of this isn’t all it’s cut out to be forever. It’s good to sleep because I, we, have forever…. Forever. So, enjoy the dream of being human, of debating, of trying to make sense of everything and the drama. It’s all here for us to experience. But, if it’s not possible then it’s false. And, someone could think they experienced this but didn’t and it could still ultimately be true or it could be false. This is very confusing. But, how do we know what is true about the fundamental nature of reality, mind, consciousness, the origin of existence, the meaning of life, etc? Can we take any other humans word for this? Even Leo’s? No. No symbolic system is good enough. No authority in another human. If only we could directly experience what is true…. If we don’t want to pick up beliefs than we simply can’t know. So what is true that requires not believing? How does state of consciousness, which is prior to belief play into that? With regards to Leo… Expecting a guy on YouTube to be a saint, to never make a mistake, to make you feel good, when he admits to being an asshole makes no sense. He has never hidden that he is a jerk and even has a video on it. Plus, you guys are often jerks to him. So, watch for hypocrisy. I am a fan of the videos. I’m not convinced of it all being accurate. But, it’s pretty good. It helps me avoid a lot of illusion, make sense of how to approach the big picture. But, it’s a human doing it. Sooo…. I don’t expect perfection. These videos and these interactions with one man, can’t be how you go about spirituality in its entirety. Reality is brutish, it’s twisted its kind and loving but also war and bombs and sickness. You have to contend with this brutal, twisted reality we all share. All humans are in this game of survival and all by definition of being finite will have limitations, corruptions, ego, times when they aren’t kind to you, times when they don’t tickle you. Yes, many spiritual teachers are more sweet, kind, and considerate in how they speak. Leo is not like that. He has never been like that. Yet, you choose on your own free will to interact with him. Why? There is a whole mountain range of spiritual teachings out there. Explore them. Explore science explore meditation, yoga, Qigong, various mystical texts. Explore this wondering world of human knowledge and potential. I am okay with people being offended by Leo. I don’t really care about that. His actions aren’t malicious in my view. People may never agree with me, and I’m fine with that. But, if you think I’m not a warrior you are wrong. I’m kind, I’m considerate. But, I am not nice. This is a moment in time. Humans are not fully evolved. We still have religions and belief systems held together by survival, symbolic understanding and feelings emotions and comfort. None of that is true. We have a science full of corruption, religions developed by ancient tribes who still hold human kind. Is human evolution some sweet and pretty little thing? Is that how you expect it to go? No. It’s going to be ugly and confusing and challenging. Painful. Scary. Brutish often. Even in this work, people have to have backbones against those with gross double standards.

Creating my journal.

I want to say thank you to everyone for over the years. I apologize for whenever I was a rude to you. Thanks Leo for all the work and for the video catalogue over the years.
-
The blog has become immature, disrespectful and petty. I think it’s time I stop following it, stop posting here and just move on. Bye bye guys….
-
I came back for a bit. Unfortunately, Leo’s tone in the blog, the forum itself and how it’s a waste of time means I’ll be leaving.

This is really sad. I’m a big fan of a couple of his songs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/14/musician-oliver-tree-32-killed-in-helicopter-crash-in-brazil

Toxic emissions Modern conditions Vague apparitions Lost in the discontent Cling to the senses Cling to the nothingness Laugh like you are not there Laugh like you did not care Tension and dying air Soft and familiar Wide eyed and innocent Warm ways and imminent Breathe in, breathe in Breathe in, breathe in Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion Lines in a paper Black clouds and vapor Mouth filled with summer Light rain and meteors Light rain and meteors Holes in the universe Crayons and scribblers Infinite bellies burst Cracks in the ocean crust Choke on the cosmic dust What will become of us? What will become of us? What will become of us? What will become of us? Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion

@Nick_98 I think it’s important to mention Leo doesn’t bash science entirely. He bashes its limitations.

This is also a good meditation do use throughout the day to let go, return the presences and relax.
-
This is a good meditation. It’s focused on helping you calm the mind, completely let go into an active and effortless awareness of the peaceful present moment. This is a good meditation. Leo has good use of language, he guides people toward quality attitudes toward meditation practice and addresses how to attend to the wandering mind throughout. This is a good meditation. However, there are mindfulness exercises and Qigong/ yoga meditations which are also important and useful toward spiritual growth and energetic, mind mastery.

2 very good, yet distinct guided meditations 1. This one Tara Brach presents is more heart fullness, self compassion, acceptance, returning to non-judgmental awareness 2. Jon’s is more being aware of being. Sitting in a present ways non-judgmental observation and body/ breath an awareness. Both useful, both different styles, teaching different attitudes that are essential to mindfulness. One is more poetic while one is more matter of fact. Id like to do each of them a few more times back to back and contemplating the differences.

For some reason this meme stands out to me as hilarious https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EnmRbiKpV/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This man took his own life from how he was treated, bullied and over worked by his employer. Another example of why where you choose to position yourself in the social matrix is so important for wellbeing.

This show is exceptional. Perfect blend of comedy and suspense/ horror. The trailer sucks but the show is good.

@Leo Gura Okay, I swore in a general rant against cult accusations as part of a long nuanced post and got warning points. I admit I wouldn’t say it again. I guess we can all improve. Mine may have been worse. But, anyway. Similar enough.

I’m getting tired of the combative blog posts. If I can’t swear on here seems a double standard too.

I got some sales from Facebook ads. Also some from organic YouTube funnels. I will do more as part of my next phase. Just running ads isn’t enough. You need to have your value ladder in place, customer journey, avatar, etc
