It's not enough to be "Deeply " Conscious. You have to be 10000% Conscious. If there is a Trace of a Doubt in you about who you fundamentally are then that's not enlightenment. Also ..There is only one Absolute. No different Absolutes. The Absolute is the Now .

OK this is not stuff that I have pulled out of my ass.. it's in accordance with Leo's series on how to get laid . So ..the number one #1 reason you don't have a girlfriend or not getting laid is because you don't approach . You just sit in your dad's house eating potato chips and playing video games all day every day.and you expect that attractive girls will just magically land on your lap ? Good luck with that! So ..without rambling too much . Start approaching. Today. Tonight. Stop making stupid fucking excuses. And btw ..don't expect that you won't suck at first .because you will . Oh boy how many times I come off awkward as fuck when talking to girls in my town . But you gotta make it a daily habit . A challenge for yourself. One approach at least per day .push yourself out of your comfort zone .find the places in your city where girls hang out..and move your ass to there. See girl..approach girl .

Suffering is a form of evil . God could easily effortlessly effectively efficiently allow for evolution without struggling..yet he didn't. How to explain that ? (I know the answer ..I'm just testing you )

. He created both good and bad so that he can see them fight each other.and good will always win at the end . And its all for a purpose and for the greater good brother. Please consider visiting a psychiatrist. Its not for vanity .there is a great goodness awaiting you . Just hurry up and die before you die and see for yourself the goodness that is surrounding you all the time .

Agree .God-Consciousness is a state of awareness. It is an ever-evolving process. You cannot just read it in a book. You must experience it. I haven't experienced it myself. And I don't doubt that Leo has experienced it in his trips . But I think since consciousness/reality /existence is infinite ..then all we are doing with these endless chasing of mystical states is chasing our tail . "An absolute truth I'm an infinite reality "..do you see any flaw in this line ? You are actually abiding as it 100% of the time . Again the message here is that there is nothing that needs to happen. You are already what you eternally are . Exactly. It's slippery. You can't grab hold of it. Once you think you've got it ..rest assured that you're wrong ? Great idea ?.

@Yimpa you're cute .I like you. (No homo).

Yeah it's paradoxical lol. Im saying we know that we don't know . I think it's Socrates who said "the only thing I know is that I know nothing ". It's exhilarating to understand that there are unlimited new things and places to explore.. new concepts to ponder without end and multitude ways of developing ourselves. ignorance is bliss.?

Yes .also people like Jim Newman..Tony Parsons..Bentinho Massaro etc . They all use the word "enlightenment ". Leo is the only spiritual teacher I'm aware of who calls it "God realization ". You can't abide in a nondual state forever .simply because reality doesn't know stillness .it's constantly changing. So enlightenment is realizing there is no need for literally anything. Abiding or otherwise. You can’t sustain a state. You can’t sustain any state..because it is the nature of states that they come and go. They emerge..and they pass. You are a human aren’t you? Do you have to sustain the state of being a human? Probably not,..because being human is not a state ..it is what you are. When you become non-duality then you will no longer have to sustain it..any more than you have to sustain your humanity now. Non-duality will not be a state.. it will be what you are. Yes I honestly think he is delusional. All these definition and different facets of awakening...I think he is getting so obsessed with figuring the shit out of reality .which is basically impossible. Reality will forever remain unknowable. Most fears to question your enlightenment is bs…. Because questioning it means all ones cultural background ..beliefs . respect ..hope including goal of permanence is challenged. I would say ..when one “gets it” that impermanence is the security of beingness..he is not this identity he thinks himself to be … He is only bounded by the mind and the idea of enlightenment gets the whole. no desire ..no hope .. no grief ..no pain follows that one. Interesting .You’re playing a cool role in a movie but it’s not going the way you like it. So you start to push the envelope and see if you can change how the movie is playing out. You can’t. So get you pissed off and start to inquire what the Truth is. Then through no cause or result of anything “you do” (because you d.on’t exist and there is no do-er) enlightenment happens through you and there it is. Non-duality does not need to be sustained…it is always the case. You are always alone…for there is no other. There is only the Self. All is always well.?? you caused it to yourself. it is your duty to lay your ego aside..and face the problems in order to grow as a human being (which can be consiered clearing karma). Idk what you talking about lol

Lol You listen to too much Mooji and Rupert Spira . It isn’t a state to aspire to. It is a moment of revelation: “Be still and know that I am God.” You make it another thing to achieve. Or to abide. There’s nothing to achieve. You are life.. I am life.. s/he is life… Life is. God is. Who is the one who desires to become something.. as though he is separate from what is/life?

Agreed. But it can get tricky .because people will hear that and then think that "happiness " is snorting Cocaine from a hooker's tits .happiness is our natural state. Not found in exciting experiences. Although there is nothing wrong with having fun. But pleasure is simply different from happiness. Yes it's the typical no self realisation. I realized that the people here and especially Leo are kinda shiting on this aspect of enlightenment because its not "the highest ". And I agree .there is a lot more to become conscious of than merely to recognize there is no separate self and duality is illusory . But honestly I can't speak about God realization or omniscience etc because honestly I have zero experience of them .so that is why I said In OP it's not resonating with me instead of calling it downright bullshit. Do you think "Truth "points to the same thing as "Happiness "?

@Enlightement OK thanks for your opinion. i will contemplate more.

Didn't say otherwise . There are no "Illusions " .the word itself refers to something that doesn't exist . Everything is real .even a dream or a drug-induced hallucination is real . If reality appears to be finite .then it's finite .if reality appears to be infinite ..then it's infinite . There is nothing that needs to happen .forgetting a glimpse that you had in the past is a necessary part of infinity . Its like not appreciating the black color in the Mona Lisa's hair..without realizing that every little detail is necessary ?.

To some degree. I'm conscious of pretty amazing stuff . But I still haven't achieved full on Buddhahood nirvanic bliss 24/7.

Everyone in my fucking college are blabbering about this stupid GPT thing. I think AI in general is purported to be greater than it really is. the media is trying to make it out to be like in science fiction movies ..when it is not. Just tell me if I'm correct . .is it the politics of fear ? Are they trying to make out that "they "or others ( Russians) will have control of our lives potentially leading to our destruction? I just don't get what the fuss is about . . Computers already have AI search engines.. and search providers already watch everything we do for advertising purposes. Surely the police, intelligence agencies and the military will also be using the same AI to collect data. For me it is all about control..we will have to watch everything we say and do. ...and that isn’t any kind of freedom.

@Michael569 I see . Enjoy your presidency of the health section. I just wanted to see you talking about politics or sex or consciousness or anything other than health stuff .because you are truly a genius in that field. So I'm curious if you have the same knowledge in other kind of topics as well.. No .I just meant its practical topic .and you are a practical oreinented dude . You don't like fluffy spiritual mumbo-jumbo

I think the future of AI will be far more mundane than the media would have people believe. we can't downplay the effects AI will have on society because it's simply unknowable. . If humans are replaced by AI, who are the corporate administrators going to sell their goods and services to in order to recoup their investment in AI?

Stop saying "It's " when it should be "is".

@Michael569 yeah that's suitable for you . You only post on the nutrition subforum and the life purpose subforum. Just wondering..do you have any philosophical interests? Like questions about existence and such? I never saw you commenting on the spirtualiy section. You show a deep knowledge when it comes to health and nutrition (because that's your field). Why don't you just try and engage in other subforums than the health section?

@Yimpa @Sempiternity lol im just teasing Leo. I really missed his videos. I think probably it will be about more practical stuff than philosophical.

Yay! Leo rambling out about metaphysical mumbo-jumbo that no human has ever reached for 3 hours straight. New level of awakening that contradicts his older episodes ? I certainly missed that .

@Holykael What gets you out of bed in the morning? What's the point? What's the motivation? What is there to look forward to? Why? What is stopping you from just not getting out of bed? “The truth is none of it matters and the truth is it all matters tremendously. It’s a wonder any of us ever get out of bed at all. And yet, we get out of bed.” - Bojack Horseman

Do "you " have free will ? It all depends on what do we mean by "you ". It's all dependent on your self-definition . If you identify as the human body ..then certainly you have a tiny portion of will . You can't fly. You can't wish a million bucks into existence etc. And some spiritual schools claim that you as an ego..or as a separate self have ZERO control over your life .over anything basically. And it's easy to prove if you tried to think of what wil be the next thought in your mind lol . Or if I told you to not think of a red cat (immediately an image of a red cat appears in your mind ). So does that mean you have no free will ? Well the answer is : YES &NO! If you define yourself as this human being..then surely you have limited free will. However,..if you define yourself as the entire universe..then everything that happens ..is your own will . You are like a movie writer and actor simultaneously. You as the author have predestined everything from the get go ..not a single atom moves by chance ..its all Your will . But you as an actor only have the power to act out as what's being predestined. So when you click on this thread..you actually have predestined this to happen from the start of infinity (so to speak) but you as the human didn't have a choice . This video of leo explains it perfectly. Any questions?

False. Its only because its infinite..that it can be downright any fucking thing it wants . Free will =infinity . Infinity is synonymous with freedom.

Because god is everything. And is infinite. Therefore his will is infinite. There is nothing outside of God to tell it how it should be .God is the ultimate existential authority.

1-well I'm a human being .I'm a sentient creature. Therefore I possess awareness. Are you trying to say that it's backwards? That "I" is a thought that appears inside awareness? 2-what about the body ? 3-where Is this one awareness?
