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.

God's identity is that which is unidentifiable. It's a paradox/strange loop.

Did anyone else feel Curt J. getting triggered by some of the existential insights shared by Leo? I took the podcast as a great example of how guarded the intellectual/academic ego mind is..even for those who are open minded. Kudos to Leo for patiently countering many of straw-mans thrown at him. This is what we are up against for those wanting to share Truth to the masses.

There is no difference between reality and dream reality, conscious and subconscious. All of it is imaginary :-)

For those U.S. citizens, what is your (unbiased) review of Joe Biden's job so far in office? Is he meeting, exceeding or not meeting your expectations on a domestic and foreign policy level? Reason I ask this to hopefully get some constructive discourse going, which is not prevalent in mainstream media and radical right-wing/left-wing media. I personally feel like COVID-19 would have been a challenge for any President. As far as Afghanistan, I believe leaving was the right direction to go to begin to chip away at America's military-industrial complex which feeds private arms industries that rake in billions. Feel free to challenge these points, just asking you do it in a respectful way,

See, the thing is we all look at these situations and say how horrible it is...but deep down, we are really thinking "wow, glad that's not me". Many of us will not move our asses to change corruption unless it directly threatens our survival. But more is required to change the horrid conditions of folks who have fallen on hard times.

Thought I’d do something a bit different and simply post my well wishes to all of you on the spiritual path. I am sure many you can relate to the various emotions of happiness, joy, confusion, fear, nihilism, frustration, bliss (most likely missing 100+ emotions) that come along with taking this journey. I see many of you post some of your breakthroughs as well as down points. All of it is inspiring to say the least, we are embarking upon on something that is beyond the human realm, a task that only a few of us who lived to have ever awakened to the nature of God. For those of you who are struggling, and still working with the dark night of the soul, be kind to yourself..and know that whatever pain that is involved in this will be worth it in the end. There is a reason why much suffering happens to achieve awakening, and that’s because God realization will literally absolve all suffering you incurred..no matter what amount. So with this, I send my love and encouragement to you all. When you reach your awakening, we will unite as one in the same ??❤️. Best of luck.

Simply put, you are always conscious..whether you are stuck in what we call “monkey mind” or not. The point is not to silence the mind, but just be conscious of its a activity without judgement. These are great questions you are asking.
