    @mandyjw  Yeah, honestly Celery Juice is just replacing my morning Coffee, the benefits have been great for me too, and the Celery varies widely from store to store like you said, in the UK, the best I have found is Morrisons, nice thick Celery that yields almost 400 ML per pack, I aim for 500 ML each morning. 

    I'd also recommend adding in lemon water first thing when you wake up and not eating any fats until 12PM, kind of like a modified intermittent fast. 

    I cleared most my Acne when I went vegan 5 years ago, but my Leg & Back spots have massively reduced since starting this, I also have like 0 brain fog, and much more stable energy, honestly, it's amazing!

    @Kalki Avatar You don't get the point. I am not telling anyone to preach anything. One preaches what is desired and what makes sense to the preacher.

    Let me say that again. What is taught is what makes sense to the teacher. What I am telling you now is what makes sense to me at the moment. The same is for Leo or for anyone. No teaching is adequate for everyone at anytime. Pick what makes sense to you now.

    I have lots of experience with psychedelics (over 100 Ayahuasca ceremonies) and I have seen plenty. I am making the full circle, coming back to where I came from and this is what makes sense to me: enlightened lineages, superior beings and all that are just more of the ego race game. It's a lot harder to let go of the stories we like to believe and hope for.

     

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Realization of the absolute shows there is NO hierarchy, for everything that 'exists' is simply the Absolute. 

    All lineages are helping people realize this in their own way, some more direct with others. Different strokes, for different folks. 

    Of course, some beings are more conscious of the truth of their own being. 

    For example, Ramana Maharshi is likely more conscious of what he called 'The Self' (the absolute) than the next guy you pass on the street, but he is not superior, and that guy is very much still the absolute. 

    @ajasatya Great points on Non-Violence, especially about not being violent to yourself, and regarding diet, eating toxic food all the time is certainly a form of violence, I'd never described it or seen it that way though, our own bodies deserve life giving and nutritious food- Always :) 

    And, for those times we do over indulge at social events, we should take extra care to give our bodies the recovery and rest they need, as well as flushing out the shit! :)

    @LfcCharlie4 Not to take away from his swagger & obvious skill, but I think if end up being the stereotype of the slightly-foreigner-pseudo-spiritual kind of guy it's relatively easy to get with a lot of women. They swoon over that shit because it seems so new and exotic compared to the typical bragging strong male westerner type that they're exhausted of.

    Yeah, but you say that as if it is common, it’s automatically top 1% simply because he’s different + has unreal social skills + charisma& has the ability to talk about and joke about Sex openly which your typical guy won’t go near with a 10ft barge pole.

    He also managed to do it over here in his homeland (the UK) and won “Top Shagger of The Year” (a joke award of course) 

    It also just highlights how to truly own “being yourself” in a masculine way, even when you clearly have a flamboyant side& how to effortlessly dominate interactions, think there’s a lot to learn from him!

    Doesn’t really matter who has really, all that matters is what can help you most realise your own true nature, and rest in absolute peace and happiness. 
     

    For me it was working 1-1 with my teacher and RASA transmissions over a 10 month period, I still work with her now mainly on integration + Wanting to delve deeper into the Enneagram (so fucking interesting, honestly)

    I recommend the above to any serious seeker wanting to awaken, other people recommend other means, so just follow what path your heart desires. 
     

    I do believe there is a more optimAl way then the current Guru talking to a big crowd kind of scene we have in non-duality, I gst it’s hard to cater for a huge audience, I just think look at sport, you will get so much more out of a 1-1 session with a coach, then a session you share with 15 other people. 
     

    Working with a teacher allows you to address your issues and personal blockages, and your process, not the guys 3 seats down from you. 
     

    Just my 2 cents, if it doesn’t resonate, follow another path :) 

  7. Posted

    Both, no 1 best path, just depends on you as a person and what your heart wants to do. 
     

    In the western world the search for awakening usually begins with some kind of what else is there/ suffering. 
     

    In the east, spirituality is much more common, and a foundation of life.

    Dont undertake the search because you have to,

    do it because there’s nothing youd rather do.

    There is a phase where everything seems like distractions, this is commonly known as the “seeking” phase of ones journey, where all they can think about is awakening, where your whole life is submerged by it. 
     

    However, when you awaken, you realise all these ‘distractions’ were quite literally the path, as each and every passing moment is it. Then life simply becomes a celebration, and is lived from this understanding, and you are absolutely free to do whatever you want. 

    So, no everything isn’t simply a distraction, but it can seem like that, and there usually is a period where awakening will take over, but this doesn’t necessarily last forever. 
     

    Once you realise, every moment is simply a meditation, you realise there is no such thing as distraction, as this is it, how can you be distracted from what you are?

    @docs20 Hey man, thought I’d chime in regarding money as I had the same dilemma as you when I was 18.

    Find a way to make money consciously, that contributes to humans growing in any way, doesn’t have to be spirituality. 
     

    For example, you could be a holistic fitness instructor who helps people reach optimum health, that’s helping people for example. 
     

    But, you do want to get your survival needs nailed on and solved from a young age so you don’t end up working for a company you hate doing a job you hate down the line. 
     

    I would recommend either developing a high value skill(s) that you can freelance, or starting an online business of some sort. 
     

    Also, work shouldn’t be separate from your journey, but part of your journey, don’t see it as time wasted, but time you are growing, work and contribution are key on your actualisation and awakening journey!

    @Javfly33  No he's just not a nutritionist lmao, and recommending 48 hour dry fasts to anyone and everyone as a productivity hack is extremely risky and just pretty stupid imo. Fasting isn't something you should just jump into, it's becoming too trendy as some fix all solution. 

    I'm not saying it doesn't have it's place but a 48 hour dry fast every 2 weeks (as Becker recommended) is the fast track to health issues, I would never recommend a dry fast.

    Before even considering fasting, much more Detoxing of the body should've already been done, or you'll end up relying on Adrenaline for energy. 

    I personally do Intermittent Fasting, but have scaled it back a little recently. 

    This article explain it pretty well:

    From a Pick up channel I watch, he interviewed a Test expert who runs a functional Test optimization clinic, and sees through the BS of big pharma, and how this really is a huge issue, recommend it.

     

    Essentially, when you get older, TOT is defo something to look into. 

    NOT STEROIDS though, the extreme doses of steroids will destroy your body, hence why Pro bodybuilders die so early.

    Life will be very different, but you don't have to 'destroy' your life the way you are talking about it. 

    It's like being reborn again. 

    You live from this understanding, and integrate it into all areas of life, and live from a place of love and happiness. 

    Then, instead of seeking happiness in the activities, work, relationships, objects etc, it all simply becomes an expression of happiness, and life simply becomes a never ending celebration. You have the absolute freedom to do whatever the fuck you want to do, whether that's living in an Ashram, or starting a family- everyone is unique in how they want to live their life, find out what you want to do :)

    If you actually knew the Truth you probably could barely function in duality.  It freaked me out so much that for a few days - maybe a week, while my consciousness levels were so elevated, i couldn't.  I remember the day i had my awakening to the Godhead and realized i was imagining all of this.  I think i posted it here before Leo actually talked about it.  And then a few weeks later he had the same awakening.  But basically it is exactly like a dream.  You are God dreaming up this world and everything in it.  Its all in your Mind.  This is all yours.

    ^^^^

    There is often a period where it becomes like impossible to function, and a period where this new understanding has to be somewhat integrated so you can function haha.

    He does.  Listen to his video on Solipsism.  (And Truth is way beyond Solipism but not how he says it)  He believes there are other finite minds out there.  Or, he awoke to the Truth and then refused to go there because its so radical.  That can happen easily.  I woke up to the Truth and then for a time my ego tried to spin it.  Or maybe he has an image to portray for his students.

    Honestly, I think that may of been because he was talking to someone stuck in the Solipsism mindset, hence he modulated the teachings. 

    Or maybe it's a semantic issue, the whole foundation of his teaching is that Consciousness is all that exists, and that no separate self has ever existed etc. 

    He always says how experience is always one, is never split up into a multiplicity and diversity of things, and that all there truly is, is 'Consciousness' and that mind is simply a thought and a concept in the waking state. Albeit a useful one. 

    I do agree though, he sometimes longs out his speech and over intellectualizes, which can make it hard to follow whether he is talking from an asbolute POV, or whether he is talking more relatively, for a proponent of the Direct Path, his use of language could be more direct. :D

    Hmm, not true. If you listen to him carefully, he knows perfectly well what he's talking about. He does speak with plenty of nuance and caters to where the particular seeker is on the path, therefore it may seem that way if you listen to him out of context.

    Agree with this. 

    I still think teachers like him would be much more effective working with students 1-1, it's just he's so popular nowadays it's impossible I guess.

    @Leo Gura Personally I don't class Ralston as fully awake either, he doesn't seem to have awakened to unconditional love, or stabilized in the Absolute. 

    It's a rare that a student will outgrow a teacher, so naturally they'll only reach Ralson's level of understanding, a bit like Fred's 1-1 students will likely awaken to No-Self, but not go beyond, as that's where he's at. 

    My point was mainly if guys like Rupert Spira, Francis Lucille & Adya focused on 1-1 they'd be much more effective, I've been on some of these guys webinars and it's like your listening to other people's awakening struggles (which has it's value at somepoints) and not your own, it just isn't as direct as it could be.

    This is not shitting on these guys as I regard them very highly, and it's kind of the 'industry standard' to do it this way. 

    @Hello from Russia He's of course awakened, I just wouldn't class him as finished, if you resonate with him, get what you can from him, but it's likely to fully finish you'll need to move on from him :)

    @Leo Gura Agreed. Non-Duality books become pointless to read once you awaken, it's like reading beginner exercise books after 30 years of working out and being jacked. 

    But, as you say they have their use in the early stages of this journey. 

    @docs20 Yes of course other books will have uses, depending on your own problems and what is relevant to your situation. 

    Money issues? go read finance books & business books. 

    Health issues? Go read health & fitness books. 

    Want to learn how to become a good parent? Go read a parenting book. 

    You get the idea, books are useful for solving your problems and relative issues, but once you solve that problem, you can move on from that particular book. 

    Fiction is different completely as it is storytelling and entertainment, and is mainly read for fun and pleasure, of course if you enjoy fiction, keep on reading it.

    You could just as easily say the same thing about people who take psychedelics

     

     I'm still yet to find anyone fully Self-Realized from the Psychedelic path, by this I mean Francis Lucille, Rupert Spira, Ramana Maharshi realization. 

    I'm not saying this won't happen in the future, and am open to it, but I mean from here it seems like Psyches give you insights and experiences, but eventually need to be let go, I think you said your experience was like this. 

    Still think working with a teacher 1-1 & transmissions are the most direct path to awakening, and am yet to see any evidence suggesting otherwise. 

    For example Rupert awakened by....spending a lot of time and working with Francis& Francis awakened by.....spending a lot of time and working with Jean Klein. The pattern is pretty obvious among the true advaita teachers, aside from Spontaneous awakenings, but banking on that, is like banking on winning the lottery as your source of income.

    5-MeO-DMT & DMT are the teachers you're looking for.

    Stop looking for human teachers. They are all inferior and will waste YEARS of your life. You will not deeply awaken listening to humans. If that worked everyone would be awake a long time ago. Notice that 99% of any guru's students are not awake. That tells you how worthless their teaching are.

     

    The reason 99% of Guru's students are not awake is because to suit the masses, the mainstream guys have to talk to big crowds and do group meditations and inquiry sessions, and people get to ask like a few questions on retreats, it's just very sub-optimal. It's like trying to learn an instrument or sport in a group setting, it is nowhere near as effective as working with a coach/ teacher 1-1 where you can go over your own personal struggles, blockages and issues, and actually overcome these, instead of waiting 5 months until the next retreat where you can get a 10 minute answer one time. 

    I am not saying group teachings, and talking to crowds don't have their perks and effectiveness& I'm sure they help a lot of people, it's just working 1-1 would lead to far better teacher/ student results, at least from what I've seen. 

    When you Self-Realize and if you decide to carry on teaching, you would help a LOT more people by directly teaching them 1-1 than with your Non-Duality videos, again not saying they don't have effectiveness and are of course worthwhile, I just don't think they are the best primary focus if you want to help people awaken.
