This has always been something I struggled with. I've realized and been contemplating how: 1. Reality is my own mind 2. God's Will and my will are the same (yet I only have a finite aspect of the universe) Yet, what I don't quite get is... How can I be as foolish as I am? How can I struggle with all the things I struggle with in life? Then, seeing as reality is so complex, I have the struggles and problems that I do... How do I get my life to reflect the intelligence of God? This, is the aligning ourselves with the Tao. I really am just beginning my contemplation here. Haven't even finished Leo's video on balance. I do regards myself as a fool. Though, I believe in myself that over the next 10-20 years I can become wise, balanced and stand tall upon the slippery earth. Sometimes I get the hunch... sure I, this dream should be the highest pinnicle in the universe. Surely, I must be the highest balance, the luckiest luck, the greatest life imaginable. But, idk. Clearly nothing is random. But, how do I reconcile my own stupidity with being part of the highest intelligence? In my current state. I don't really understand. I will continue to contemplate and learn over the years.

Well, I am not drawing a line in the sand and I consider them tools in the same tool box. Mr. sassy pants ? I read what you wrote just not your mind. Your stance seems a little flakey or unclear. For me, all the teachers and teachings are like tasty fruits on vines and I’m just plucking and sucking

@bambi why is that the most important part? What happens after you eat dinner? Why are you still eating the next day.

There’s scientific evidence that shows mushrooms trips cure depression for like 3-6 months after just one good trip.

not really sure I understood what you mean. These don’t seem like different things to me personally. @Carl-Richard Yeah, idk man. Your saying things and I’m interpreting them and you seem not really in or out. I don’t understand what your trying to say.

Did he say this? This seems like a misinterpretation given my understanding of his work as a whole. These things aren’t mutually exclusive. Honestly overall Leo seems to stress balance in your spiritual / personal growth practice. Balance. Living the Good Life.

Also I did a mushroom trip 4 months ago that permanently cured my depression. Totally permanently changed the way I saw myself. That combined with other practices. State doesn’t equal growth but experiencing these states can be part of your toolbox towards growth.

@Carl-Richard I’d say that’s true. Who isn’t? It’s also false from Gods perspective. There are states where you realize growth is imaginary. There’s no difference between sadhguru and a wasp. It’s not a true true for a false false but has layers and lines and lenses and contexts

@Carl-Richard Seemed like you were saying a little more than that.

@Carl-Richard Well… Theres a seminar on X theres a meditation retreat Yoga retreat contemplation retreat psychedeic retreat There are simply different types of spiritual tools and practices. Imo

@Carl-Richard lol, uhh looking up bridging heaven by Rak Rassam. Theres plenty of spiritual retreats utilizing psychs…

Why?

@Breakingthewall Good points. I want to break free to the point where I’m earning decent money doing my own thing. Life purpose whatever

@Leo Gura Thanks, I noted you talk about that near the end. Thanks for another great video ol boy. Felt like the audio book version of The Tao Te Ching jk

@Breakingthewall Well, I’m talking about my reactions to his video, on his forum. Trying to understand exactly what he means when his actions contradict his words. idk, fuck it then. I’m primitive to you? Lol

@Osaid I’m still finishing it too

@Osaid hmmm true

“All you need is selflessness and love” Not sex, not money… Well, Leo seems to have lots of money and pursues lots of sex. Hm

Balance. This is exactly what I need. I need balance, and time. I don't know if I can escape from wage slavery... I don't know if I can run a successful online business. I really need balance, wisdom, intelligence.

I do see the profound intelligence in the universe. But, if it's perfect... that must include me and my entire life. I mean, clearly there is a sublime balance. Yeah, It's super hard to see it in ALL things. The imperfection, the boring days, my own failures and money problems. It's all a little strange to think about.

I think it set me back in life. Though hard to say that "It" was the cause. I had lots of trauma and anxiety that lead me to using it for self medicating. It also helped me in lots of ways too. But, reality is better without it. Or it used extremely rarely. I am going 1 year without smoking. Currently 2 months in.

Mushrooms cured my depression (in combination with reading, qigong, working on my life and eating/ sleeping well) 5meo fell me in love with the forgiveness and understanding of all beings no real reason to take them. There are dangers as well. Like confusion and momentary short term stupidity/ forgetting so social norms. So, be careful. It’s gets better once you realize what they are actually doing.

@Leo Gura

?

I’m going to find a way out that is not just “find better wage slavery” ? Im going deep into contemplation with my current resources and my marketing program I paid for. I think the way out is with this program. I just need to stop resisting and moaning about it’s probably price tag. Freedom isn’t cheap.
