Life depends on two things: how many people you need to worry about and how much money you have to your name. Your life is equally good or bad in ANY country depending on the smallness of factor 1 and the largeness of factor 2. Today go to a nightclub / restaurant in Beijing, Moscow, New York and tell me if there's a difference. In my case I am as free as a bird. On the other hand location matters little to me. I only need the basics available anywhere.

Offense is weak sauce. Suck it up. Pun intended.

Seek out those who offend you the most. The Trumps, the Tates, the Thunburgs. You need these people to teach your triggers and indeed your required work. When you can be with them happily, you are arriving. Sticks and stones break my bones but words they never hurt me. Everyone is good.

I propose this consciousness litmus test to ask of every aspiring political leader or public figure: If I want to kill you, will you want to kill me? If I hate you, will you hate me? If you hate me, do you want to 1. kill me or 2. just least weaken me or 3. just isolate me and leave me be?

Being God doesn't preclude giving someone a good whipping. Some need it. Some love it. Some dread it. To not be punished for stuff is a sure way not to awaken. All need to learn they are wrong and pay the piper. Jesus ended up flogged more than most and he didn't veer off course.

Once you cross the gateless door, then the world will be a happy dream. Jesus got to a point where he saw God everywhere and all he wanted was to heal minds and help bodies.

No need to change what you see or what you do but change how you see and how you do. In fact I need do nothing ... as an ego. I need do nothing off my own back, my own insight, my own goals, my own drives. Now is all that is needed. Have the one who knows call the shots.

Agreed. You think your mind is separate, distinct, different, from my mind. And projection makes this the case. You place me here and yourself there. This resulting perception is false and reversing this, the camel going through the eye of the needle, is the work. Anything bad I see in you is my bad not yours. In so doing, the kingdom comes and we will become united, loving, divine. Any person I meet with anything other than love is an unhealed part of my mind needing my forgiveness for seeing it in error.

Would you like self expansion or self contraction, self help or self halt. The former is the material path, the latter is the spiritual path. The former makes you a god among men, the latter makes you a man among gods. In my estimation, the former suits the first half of life and the latter befits the second half. This depends on one's inclinations and disposition and so the timing aspect is personal preference. Think about it and let me know which you care to undertake.

Yes. Only for a mind though. All awakenings spoken at this forum are mental appearances, unshare-able and limited. God-realization meanwhile is one and done and for all. I and the Father are now one. This is the work Jesus ably demonstrated for those with ears and eyes. Other paths may be applicable.

Every ego will say as much. Living its best life depends on it. Because god is g-ame o-ver d-ude. God is reachable only this very moment by not letting ego demur. Just get here as this song begs us.

Imagination is but a dimmer switch on Reality. What is seen right now is either absolute truth or meaningless fiction depending on whether the one seeing is the most high god or the me-perpetuating ego.

The answer to pain is, you are not a body. When you drop misidentification, sensations arise but not yours.

Question 1: Do I need a guru/religion? Question 2: Do I need to suffer to get to my true nature? Question 1 is yes. Else you won't ask question 2. Only guru/religion tells you to go through suffering. The world will tell you avoid suffering at all costs. And will sell your widget after widget to do just that. You don't know your true nature. You are born ignorant. Your world is mad if you haven't noticed. You will stay like this your whole life. Until you come online and find what's missing. You have lived millions of lifetimes and gotten nowhere, all the while preparing you for this. Thanks be to God in the highest! This is your time.

If life is good, you will be content with a happy life and not find a blissful life. Suffering is blessing from this perspective. All ye who enter here are suffering.

You do need Christianity yet don't realize. It tells you, you are a miserable sinner. You scoff at the idea and continue in your self indulgence and self deception. You don't even know what sin is. Nothing to do with misdeeds or crimes or failings. Sin is s.eparation i.magined n.ow Sin is s.elf i.mposed n.ightmare To name but two formulations. Both of these would take a whole (Christian) book to explain the details. You won't get this from Leo. Only Christianity.

The two faiths per AI:

Bliss is, when ego isn't. What i am is what mind blocks thinking it knows better. Awareness of true self indeed activates this. Sat-chit-ananda is the real me.

Yes. Yoga meditation psychedelics ... may not be touched or discussed in Christian gatherings. Stick with the tried and tested safe stuff like the gifts of the Spirit.

Self deception, is the mind's tool that, justifies corruption and keeps it unconscious. Here are some examples from AI:

Specific examples of corruption from AI

if they renamed it as christiamity we could be getting somewhere christ! i am it! yo!

Christianity is hateful and therefore will find haters and hatred. They claim, hate the sin and love the sinner but you cannot separate the two. I in flesh am an life-long doer. If gay, I will do gay stuff. If trans, I will do trans stuff. If poly, I will do poly stuff. Anything built on hate and the hierarchy of better and worse will attract the same back at it. Christians claim to bring love in the form of missionaries. That isn't love. That is I will give you food and shelter if you sign on to my god and my bible. As soon as you reject that, you are a bad influence to my children and so I am packing my bags and leaving. You had the chance for heaven but instead choose to be damned. Sayonara most cursed infidels. The wrath of god be upon you forthwith.

Hate is a result of those who hate not what they hate. The big problem is, if you love deeply you will hate deeply. What you hate is necessarily defined by the depth of your love. Hate is to banish someone from your universe. To bid they disappear. Their presence contaminates your life. Whoever you exclude or whatever you exclude, you hate. Only this exclusion enables your love to proceed. To hate christianity means it disturbs my mind and I need it gone. I am the aggressor. Not it. It is too powerful for me to co-exist with it.
