CoolDreamThanks

Watch this video, pay very close atrention when he mentions Gnostics. A profound video, lots of truth here. Could save you some confusion. Probably the deepest truth spoken in a movie ever.

Nah you didn't get anything I was saying. Whatever, I guess.

The teachings of Huan Po have a fundamental error within them, as all sects of Buddhism, since Buddha himself didn't realize Love. The highest state of Buddhism, as well as within the teachings of Huang Po, is described as niether perception nor non perception. Buddha said that when you reach this state, you are enlightened and liberated. Not the case, Buddha had to reincarnate. The ideas about Oneness are correct, of course, but such teachings don't bring you home.

@Salvijus that was very relevant and valuable. Besides the parts you bolded, I also enjoyed the encouragement to rise above animalistic instincts. Thank you for sharing. 🙏 @Mileyofpink Saying that you need contrast to experience goodness is like saying that you first have to get shot in the gut to enjoy sex. It's just not true. It's Leo's ideaology to which you subscribed without really contemplating things for yourself. It's fine. Leo's teachings are a good stepping stone along the way. Wishing you all the best and hope you will be able to rise above Leo's teachings soon. Check out David Hoffmeister on YT and read Gary Renards books to get started. @Yimpa I think Patrick is enlightened.. The flow of wisdom from him is unparalleled.

If there is anything infinite in this universe, then it's the ability for people on this forum to go off-topic. 😄

I just picked a random image I liked from my computer. That is a good idea, I guess.

@Squeekytoy I can't disagree 😄 Just keep in mind that "It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find pain." (ACIM, T-19.IV-B.12:1) Not long ago, whilst on shrooms, mdma and coke, I had a good time with a woman I met at a nightclub. The next day and for a week straight I got a serious backlash of pain, comparable to the amount of pleasure experienced, hence deepening my understanding of ACIM. When you really get that whenever you try to get pleasure through your body, you will shortly experience a backlash of pain, you will utter to yourself: "The world I see holds nothing that I want." (ACIM, W-128) My dear brothers, let's turn towards inner peace, dedicating every single day and moment to God. Let's remove the blocks that obstruct inner light and return home at last. 🙏

One of my favourite parts of the course. It's been named in the ACIM community as "The Promise". Very inspiring. 💙 @Kuba Powiertowski at some point I did feel some frustration regarding the nature of the world, but I was soo glad to finally learn the truth, as it allowed me to let go of the illusion and dedicate myself fully to the Lord. Presently, I feel various levels of bliss and peace due to a lot of meditation, so there's no more pain or anything even remotely close to that, but thank you for the encouragement. ✌️

David Hoffmeister. No one else compares if you want someone living in a body right now.

@Squeekytoy that's a good question. I will answer your question regarding finances as well, since I have a very glorious idea to share. Let's start with the friends and family business. Friends is easy and the letting go depends on how advanced they are. To advanced friends I say - I'm at a point of needing to immerse myself 100% into meditation, so we will meet after I reach my goal. You already know that enlightenment is the only real meaningful purpose. I've met an advanced friend after 1 year break and it felt like no time passed. I simply blew their mind on how much I advanced. Also, with one talk I changed the course of their life, making them realise that this world is nothing and they should dedicate themselves to awakening more fully. They were sort of on and off with spirituality at that point. For less advanced friends, I just tell them that I know they will find my decision strange, but try to see it as this: I have something so extremely important I want to reach that I would sacrifice everything in this universe to get it. I know not what the future holds, so we might meet a year from now or never. You know me, so you know that I am obsessed with spirituality, so yeah, I'm just diving into it much deeper. If they are true friends they will always put your burning devotion ahead of their own attatchement and wish you good luck on your journey. Now family.. It depends how open minded and attatched they are. If you're in a rather spiritual culture like India, it's usual for children to go away on hermitages lasting years, so there it's easy. In the west, you might need to have a long talk explaining how it's your life's purpose. You might need to make a compromise to keep some contact, like a call a week or similar. That type of contact is insignificant when meditating, it won't hurt your progress and will allow you to not hurt your family. Finances - here is where the value of a perfect teacher shines. Leo would tell you to spend 20 years or so on building your life. But here's what my beloved master, the perfect teacher of God, Jesus, says in his book A Course in Miracles regarding money: You may wonder how you can be at peace when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the way to peace is open. ²Perhaps this seems impossible to you. ³But ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your salvation that does not work. ⁴Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort. ⁵He will go before you making straight your path, and leaving in your way no stones to trip on, and no obstacles to bar your way. ⁶Nothing you need will be denied you. ⁷Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. ⁸You need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. ⁹As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. ¹⁰God’s guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not contingency. ¹¹It rests on you. ¹²And what can be more certain than a Son of God? (ACIM, T-20.IV.8:1-12) I can attest with my life that if you choose awakening as your only purpose, miracles will shine the way towards your goal. Incredible things happened in my life just to give me freedom to immerse myself fully into awakening. Peace be with us. 🙏

@witpo44 Firstly, be careful when you ask for advice on a forum from people who might be extremely deluded, whilst speaking with confidence, like the case above, as well as 99% of others here you will find, including the owner of the forum. Instead, read the Dissapearance of the Universe by Gary Renard and the book they mention there. If you are wise enough you will know that that book and others by the author speak true wisdom. Good luck.

Aye aye, captain!

My attitude is indeed straight, clear and to the point. I allow no wiggle room to the ego. Gl bruh. Hope your arrogance simmers down sometime.

😄 C'mon Buddha, give me some slack. I like to pretend I'm not spiritual sometimes. If I went full blown guru people would constantly bow to me and try to touch my feet, that is bothersome, you would know.

No. Ego is confusion. God is perfect clarity.

No. Don't stop learning until you change your mind. The illusion is the creation of the Devil himself, the one that is in your mind. This world and ego ar in kahoots. They work together to trick you and hurt you as much as they can until, hopefully, you die and forget what they have done. Wisen up, you have work to do. Read ACIM by Jesus and DU by Gary Renard/Apostles. They're the only true teachers.

Maybe. Will see.

@Salvijus heyo ✌️

🙏

No. Meditation brings you to the eternal, abstract, formless, invisible spirit, hence healing you little by little, whilst the illusion is changing, specific, visible and temporary. You are very confused. I've had it all. I've lived a very fortunate life in the usual sense, including looks, partners, financial freedom, friends, travel, and so on. The last lifetime is usually like that, you get the final taste of everything that this world has to offer, you chew it, find it disgusting and spit it out. You are not wise until you know that you can't search for pleasures through the body and not find pain. They are one and the same. There is never pleasure without a backlash of pain in the illusion. When you know it, the ego is done for.

@NineHfanbase yeh, total commitment is what awakens. Did like 30 trips, many solo reatreats lasting weeks, but that's not enough. You need to go full monk mode for years to wake up. Cutting of everything else is also key. No entertainment, music, sexual acts or thoughts, relationships, no fancy clothing, jewels, perfumes, etc. Basically throw away everything this mesmerizing illusion offers, by realising it is really nothing and meditate. Just gonna give you my schedule, that pretty much sums it up. Today is different though, going out to buy a watch with a timer so I wouldn't ever need to touch my phone. It's a tool of the devil if you really want to awaken.

There is harm in getting stuck in a dream. The harm is suffering, decay, pain and eventually death, on repeat, for thousands of lifetimes. Harmful enough? That's why non-perfect teachers like Leo are extremely dangerous. They give you conceptual truths and glimpses through drugs, but don't awaken you, giving you a false sense of accomplishment, which leads you to sleep without waking up, without a sense of hurry or clear path home, hence more lifetimes of suffering, both physical and mental, sometimes very extreme, as you have definately experienced, likely millions of times throughout your lives. So yeah, not that good of a teacher.

Leo is fooled by his self-actualization bullshit. You don't need to polish your ego to awaken. In fact, it's a trap. Leo is so entangled in the illusion that it's funny. He is currently learning about countries that don't really exist, since it's a dream, just to distract himself from his purposeless existence. He still believes that God created this sick universe and wants to learn about it. Lol. Wisen up, my dear, unexistant, ego created hallucinations.

Drop the false idea that God created this dream. Who creates your dreams at night? God or an illusory, unconscious mind? Illusory mind aka ego weaves illusions day and night. All your time is spent dreaming, the creator of those dreams is the same, only the form of the dreams change, but their metaphysics are the same - insane garbage from your unconscious mind. You've been dreaming thousands of dreams, going nowhere, suffering endlessly at the mercy of the unconscious mind, with just enough joy peppered into the nightmare to keep you from seeking escape. Open your eyes, dear unexistant ego creations. Oh, that's not your purpose, so nevetmind. Ups, I said some truth. 🫢 Ego won't like that. Waiting to hear what the illusion comes up with. Hit me. 😝

Doesn't matter. Good luck.
