    @Richard Alpert I couldn't find him.

    @purerogue

    What I'm saying is that this so-called "free-from-beliefs-path" works the same way that other path of belief works, the only difference is the one who's taking it.

    On another note:

    I might be wrong. It's working right now for me, but I can't predict the future. I've spent quite some time practising spirituality, so I'm not speaking from below. However, that's not the point.

    This is the point that I was trying to make. You guys insist that my construct is a sandcastle without acknowledging the possibility of you having built a sandcastle in another form. How do you know that you describing my beliefs as sandcastles is not itself just another sandcastle? You see? You just take it for granted and say that it's the absolute truth. At this point, we can agree to have different absolute truths, but again, that's not what I'm trying to say. The OP was asking about the importance of imagination and you were presenting arguments for why my post does not hold water. I was trying to clarify, and I hope I did. I, at the very least, hope that what I said would help anyone at all. I'm not here to argue, I was just trying to help. And sorry about the projection thing, it takes a lot of time for me to choose suitable phrases. When I'm in a rush, I just say whatever comes to mind first. To be more precise, it wasn't a projection, but rather some assumptions. Take care man.

    Very interesting! Kind of proves my point. Can you name that master?

    you will find it on google.

    i think there at least one other nondual teacher who has killed himself.

    Suffering sits deeper than belief.

    When the suffering gets strong enough, all your pretty beliefs will fly out the window. Then only consciousness can prevail. And even that will flag and wane for most people. Only training of consciousness can overcome that.

    One of the grandfathers of nonduality killed himself when the suffering got deep enough.

    He´s beliefs literally flew out of the window when he was really suffering.

    I dont have any qualms about it in the least. Im an intense guy also. I am also the kind of guy who did MMA for six years, got my black belt, used to ride my motorcycle at 170, skydived, etc, etc, etc. He would just be him and I would just be me. If someone reflected his energy back at him and he kept his ego in check, then I would consider him worthy of being my mentor and I would give him permission to talk to me however he wants. I would totally respect him for that. If he couldnt keep his ego in check, well......

    It goes against the concepts of non-duality to say something is OK for one person and not OK for another. Wouldnt Ralston say we are all one anyway?

    To me, this smacks of inferiority complexes, which I have never participated in.

    If a Zen master truly had his ego dissolved, why would he mind being the smackee rather than just the smacker?

    At minimum, it would be an interesting experiment. I have a suspicion that many "enlightened" masters would reveal they had more shadow work that needs to be done :)

    For whatever its worth, I believe my attitude is one of the reasons why Hecate has shown such a fondness for me. i think it would be a mistake to assume I am "wrong" without investigating this thoroughly. 

     

    Never heard of gettting Blackbelt in mma, lol.

    Times Leo Gura has declared himself as an Enlightened:

     

    So here we have this guy claiming one and other again that he is enlightenedd that he has reached Truth with capital T.

     

    You know something?

     

    This all is BULLSHIT.

     

    TRUTH is by definition UNINTELLIGIBLE a finite thing, (the mind, the being) cannot comprehend The Infinite, The Universe, The Tao.

     

    Every attempt to reach Truth is a lost of time.

     

    Truth is always here, wheter you are on 5-meO-DMT, sobber, happy, sad, anger, depressed.

    Is BULLSHIT that some kind of experience will lead you to TRUTH.

     

    TRUTH IS EXPERIENCE.

     

    TRUTH = EXPERIENCE

     

     

    And I'm gonna use his last video as proof.

     

     

    In this video we are talking about Self-Bias, truth is WE ARE ALL BIASED. No matter the effort we put in it, we will always going to be biased.

     

    What is reality? an infinite subjective points of views that form an objective reality.

     

    So what do you do with all this concepts and stuff?

     

    TRUTH is life hasn't an inherent objective meaning, TRUTH is giving a meaning to your life yourself from rebellion, freedom and passion. 

     

    You can suicide and end all of it right now, or you can dedicate your life and energy to something you trully like and something you are passionate about.

     

    IS your ultimate choise.

     

     

    Great post OP, i have been saying this same shit for 2 years. 

    I would have 0 problems with Leo if he actually would be honest where he is coming from.

    -everything is not love

    -the whole universe / every living thing is working for the Service of the self. (You wont be ready to sacrifice your life for somebody else. If you are, you are free to demontrate)

    -I want to put Leo in real life test where he´s ideas are challenged. Easy to sit on your couch and make philosophical rambles. You are free to fight against me on any combat sport. Let´s see how you react.

    -Leo has said he would not have to work a day in his life anymore? Do you morons think that is because he has no ego? He has a massive ego and god complex.

    @DrewNows It's all up to the individual. For many it takes ten years or more to reach black belt in bjj,  Bj Pen did it in 3 years.   

    Bj was training full time. Something like twice a day 7 days a week. He came from a pretty wealthy family, he´s father said go to school/work or train full time. So if youre training 5 times a week, you should train about 10 years to put as many hours as bj did.

    bj sure was talented but he put 10 years of training to 3 years. I know few other blackbelts that went full in and got the blackbet in 3-4 years.

    Makes me wonder why he's still masturbating about concepts like Leo. That's a large portion of the intellectual work until you go past that into pure being Ness. It's a big part of the journey but I thought 30 years would make you past that. Of course that's probably me doing the same thing I just talked against in the first sentence.

    Why do you want an answer? I don't need your answer, keep it for yourself. Become aware of your mechanisms.

    And let me help you out a little bit. It matters to you because you believe that the world is material. You deem everyone who doesn't believe the same thing 'deluded' and discount them. You're like super obvious, classic materialist.

    Then there would be 8 billion human beings minus one, telling that one a story about the existence of the moon. Very simple.

    Stories are not true, nor false. They're just stories. Become aware of that.

    Did you read it or are you dyslexic? I said that the moon would be there (with no name) if there were no humans telling stories about it.

    I don´t have problem with materilism,
