All I'm saying is: Is the burn mark on my skin not proof that reality didn't actually disappear while I was sleeping ?

Are you saying alien intelligence is not a possibility ?

But Leo, if I close my eyes, I can still hear the traffic in the distance. When I close my ears, I can still feel the bed. When I remove my sense of touch, and fall asleep, if someone then burns my skin with a hot iron, the next morning there will be a burn mark.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

@Inliytened1, @Razard86 Have you guys had a permanent cessation of the sense of a separate self yet ? I could be wrong, but sometimes I feel it's a bit sketchy talking about God realization, while simultaneously there's still a separate self going in the background. (Of course I'm learning from Leo and others also, otherwise I wouldn't be here. As far as no self goes, Jim is one of the best to listen to. As I said earlier, the teaching/message is lean because it's really effective that way, not because he hasn't gone deeper per say.)

I understand the part about no self. But I'm just wondering if there aren't any higher dimensional principles/mechanisms functioning in the unseen realms that kind of help to translate nothing into something ?

How was it for you ?

Coffee's one hell of a drug

Yeah, it's like some part of me doesn't quite want to accept it, when Jim says: "It's all pure anarchy, and there's no one behind the wheel". Does that mean concepts like predestination etc don't exist ?

Daily walks on the beach. The ocean is something else. It's like visiting some kind of magical therapeutic art gallery.

Amen

This will be a good movie.

So there's no divine type laws etc, informing reality behind the scenes, that one could become conscious of, ie your saying it's all just unknowable mystery ?

True, and you can also add that most spiritual philosophy probably seems nuts to normies.

How does nothing turn into something, is it just pure magic ?

I'm bamboozled. Please can you say a bit more about this ?

Those events never actually happened (That would be a brilliant defense in court, I'm sorry ur Honor, that never actually happened)

It is funny though, paying someone else to find yourself

How so ?

Come on, what am I missing, please explain

My apologies, I skipped this video last night. He seems to imply that spiritual teachers are tainted when they make a living from this work, because they then have a profit motive. So he says even donations is a red flag. (He seems pretty far up his own ass) I'm sure there are many spiritual teachers out there who are tainted and not in integrity when it comes to the money aspect. Jim's message gives the individual nothing, no techniques etc. And the message doesn't change. I just don't see any agenda there. As far as the money aspect goes, I see that most of Adyashanti's videos on youtube are now for members only. So according to the guy in the video, Adyashanti is a fraud. Nah, a brother just gotta eat. @Elliott

Spot on

Not sure what you mean, it seems you're implying spiritual teachers are somehow wrong for charging money. Do you think a Rupert Spira retreat is for free ?
