Lol..priceless Growing up comes before waking up, so focus on meeting your survival needs in a healthy way prior to pursuing awakening (if you can). Check out Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to see where you are and where you need to go.

An example would be money and career achievements qualifying as success for one person, whereas being a devout Christian or Muslim would be an example of another persons definition of success. Be careful not put any one pursuit over another. We have to respect the diversity of reality and consciousness.

This is an example of your ego co-opting spirituality and attempting to turn it into a dogma. It seeks to create duality at all cost. There is no “right way” of doing spirituality. When you awaken fully, you will realize this. Everything is Love…including talking about yourself AND not talking about yourself.

What matters is a relative notion. We all have our unique definitions of success. The importance of achieving this success is also relative.

Definition of Zen Devilry: Taking the teachings of God, and turning them into the workings of the devil. I have fallen prey to zen devilry many times throughout doing this work. Beware of how your mind uses spirituality to make itself seem above others, or to excuse low consciousness behaviors. A common form of Zen devilry is: “God loves me absolutely, therefore I can do whatever the fuck I want. It’s not like I have free will any way.” Its true that God loves absolutely, but that doesn’t help you as a human ego with your everyday existence. This mindset will backfire on you. Another common form of Zen devilry: “ I’m so special because I’m God Realized, I understand reality and materialist are idiots. I don’t need money, fame or sex to feel happy. I have God realization.” Most of you think this intellectually, but you are not even close to being sincere about it. If you still fear the death of your body, mind and loved ones, you have not transcended material existence. God doesn’t judge humans for being materialist..only spiritual egos who think they have transcended materialism have. Humility is key, this shit requires enormous work and a keen ability to call ourselves out on our own bullshit.

What's left after destroying the dream, however, is more dreaming . You cannot escape this dream...make the most of it.

Ya'know, you could just create your own cult full of Leo worshippers ..some folks are ripe for it lol. But I soooo much respect that you deter from doing that, thank goodness.

Very true, we often underestimate the power of the ego mind. We think our spiritual insights are untouchable. but nothing is untouchable to the ego. One could write an entire book on ego, how it works and what it's ultimately here for. It wants survival at all cost, and can turn anything into a means to an end..including spirituality.

This is powerful. I want to really sit and contemplate this. It bears the question of what change actually is...deep stuff, thank you. Lol I can relate. At times I wonder why I even began the path of enlightenment seeing as how much frustration is caused once you begin to see reality clearly. Yet that is small piece of ego that is going through a process of dissolving. And it doesn't go quietly for sure..

I see. However, we don’t have to stoop to that level. It’s tempting to project our value system on those we see acting ignorant. But restraint is required for those on the path…even when payback seems like the best way to deal with devils. Weaponizing spirituality is easy work, maintaining composure is harder.

What pay off are you getting from it?

The US being the "leader of the free world" is contextual. Americans should be asking themselves if they'll continue to regress into nationalism, or be on the side of progress and embrace globalization. This requires our government and it's citizens to become more compassionate, accepting and systemic-oriented.

Of course...God cannot be pointed to. Words are futile in this endeavor.

Trying to compare one realization of God to Leo’s would be the first mistake, as it it unique for everyone. You kind of have to separate Leo from the work. When I realized Leo was just a manifestation of my own imagination, I instantly knew what his purpose was. Leo is not separate from me, I as God, created him to wake myself up. You, as God, can realize this too.

I am preparing to start my own life coaching practice, as well build out an online learning center for parents raising children (this is part of my life purpose). I consider myself a visionary and creative person. Coming up with ideas to impact the world in a positive way is quite easy, but my skills in organizing my time towards these visions can be improved. For the entreprenuers in the audience, how do you go about managing/organizing your time? I am aware of traditional methods such as leveraging daily planners, but any recommendations on additional systems or technologies for organization would be great.

Some spiritual teachers criticize seeking energy. How do we explain this? My assumption is that they are referencing to low level pursuits of love (money, power, sex, etc). All of these pursuits are finite of course. We must burn through each of these to realize Infinite Love.

@JuliusCaesar @Sempiternity @Peo thanks for the encouragement. Mushrooms and ketamine seem to be the easiest to access through legal means. I will need to start with these first, as I prefer to pursue God realization legally to reduce risk of jail time. Damn you...society.

How tf do we get our hands on this stuff...I know this won't get an answer due to legal reasons, but I don't even know where to start with psychedelics due to them being illegal in so many places. Not to mention the possibility of getting fake substances.

I would simply get out a sheet of paper, write down what went well and what went bad in the relationship. Also, note the learning lessons and how you will use those to grow yourself. If it was a toxic (co-dependent) relationship, keep contact with your ex at a minimum..preferably no contact at all. The more toxic the relationship, the more your insecurities will drive you to want to reconnect. Beware of this dynamic, and see the situation for what it is. This is the most constructive way in dealing with a breakup. The raw emotions will cycle through your body and dissolve on their own time...do not try to force those emotions away with addictive substances, or it will get worse.

What about situational circumstances that cause for ruling with an iron fist? Say for example a societies transition from spiral dynamics stage purple tribalism, to stage red authoritarian rule. In the big scheme of things , something like this works to advance a society to higher consciousness with the subsequent stages that follow.

Truth isn’t a matter of acceptance. This applies only to belief systems. Truth is not a belief. You, as God, have all the power to define what is true and what isn’t. The problem is looking for truth outside of your own direct experience. The forum will not help you with such a question. Find the answers inside of your consciousness.

The body isn’t ignored with awakening. It is simply no longer seen as more worthy than anything else in existence. Are you conscious that you are actually the God you speak of?

Notice that this is your ego talking. It has preferences of what it likes and dislikes. A lot of what spirituality entails is transcending the preferences of your ego. No one can simply lay it out for you on this forum on how to do that. You’ll need to do a ton of research and reading, as well as a consistent spiritual practice to have at least a 1% chance at transcending your suffering. This work is not for the weak.

@Sahil Pandit thank you!

Sounds like you have no plans on expanding in this field through higher ed (masters, PhD, doctorate programs). In this case, you have no option other than becoming a wage slave through working for corporate America. It will suck, but you can build some valuable business skills until you figure out your life purpose and how to make money from it.
