Understanding Survival - Part 1 - The Metaphysics Of Being Human //posted from youtube comment from Vivek Chavan. It never occurs to a squirrel that it is an oak-murdering machine -Leo ---------------- Foundational for all personal development & spiritual change The root of all human behavior change Credit: Peter Ralston "Man is a machine which reacts blindly to external forces and, this being so, he has no will, an very little control of himself, if any at all. What we have to study, therefore, is not psychology but mechanics" -Peter Ouspensky You are mechanical. It goes very deep Mechanical =1/Conscious Survival as a metaphysical thing: Modern science doesn't understand this very well Metaphysical Questions: - What is survival? - Why do survival? - Why do anything at all? - Why doesn't an organism sit still its whole life? Why does it struggle? - Why defend anything at all? What is being defended? - Why be one way and not the other? - Why seek change at all? - Why manipulate? What are we manipulating towards? - Why even live? - Who chooses what should survive and what doesn't? - Is survival rational or irrational? - Is there anything which is not survival? What is the opposite of survival The story of survival: - In the beginning: Formlessness - First distinction = first object (cloud) - Multiple objects, interact with each other - Cloud dies. It didn't care. The cloud isn't self-aware - Later: New form (had a desire to persist by manipulating. It lived longer). It eventually dies It isn't rational for a form to want to persist. In order to manipulate, the form has to draw a fundamental distinction: Self vs. other The form is never fully in control of its destiny since it cannot control other forms All forms are temporary. Reality is constantly changing! If the form changes too much, the form metaphysically dies. Survival = Static arrangement within a sea of change = maintaining order = Not changing Disorder & Freedom = Enemy! Total freedom = Disintegration = Death = Biggest fear What we freeze depends on what we classify as 'the self' There are no objects in Reality. It is a distinction. The Universe doesn't tell you who you are. You decide that. Physical definition + Other definitions = self Reality = Infinite field of consciousness Lower self = Virtual partition of Reality Growth = Extending/moving the boundary of self What is being survived is not a physical object! It is a concept, a fantasy! Survival = conceptual activity Science cannot identify anything. Identification is a subjective thing, a result of personal projection. Survival is a highly irrational, subjective activity. Organisms don't care about Truth, logic, rationality under circumstances that can lead to death. Survival is exhausting. We are scared of death because we convince ourselves that survival is important. Rationality can become an identity, which then needs to be protected. Threat and danger are relative to what we define as 'self' - Example: Christian and the Bible - What is that for you? It is highly relative ○ E.g.: My baby is more important than other babies - People assume: What's good for me is good for everyone and vice versa. - You can only exist as 'you' if you exclude all other possibilities. There are zero-sum dynamics in Reality. Life is impossible without death. There is only one Reality. Squirrel has murdered thousands of would-be acorn trees. You are just like that squirrel ----------- Nitty gritty survival dynamics: How does it help me? - That is selfish To change yourself, the self has to die. You get in your own way. You want the results of change without actually changing yourself Massive results = Identity level change = Facing your death Go straight into the belly of the whale! Instincts exist for survival purposes. Our lives are completely controlled by survival. Examples: - Reading a book - Wiping your ass - Nutrition - Beauty - Getting annoyed by disturbances - Fiddling with your thermostat - Buying luxury items (rich people need to maintain their image and status) - Buying lingerie at Victoria's Secret - Masturbation/Sex - Caring about what people think of you - Driving an electric car - Being vegan - Donating to charity - Doodling during class - Getting tattoos - Socializing - Taking care of your family - Following a religion - Saving money - Being depressed - Politics, religion, science, ethics, morality, etc. - Meditation (as a chore) Important ones: - All judgements (ego defence) - All meaning (relative) - All thinking - Justifying, rationalizing - All beliefs - All logic, reasoning - All imagination - All theories - All speech - All emotions ○ (Emotions are something that you do, and not something that you experience- Peter Ralston) ○ Manipulation of the self - All feelings of discomfort What exactly are we surviving? - More than just the body - The mind/psyche - Even recharging/relaxing facilitates survival - The Devil is in the details - Most of our survival strategies are executed unconsciously - Different for rich and poor people. It is highly relative. The mind tricks us into believing that something is really important and is a 'must have' item - We delude ourselves into false rationalizations for our survival Survival = Dishonesty = Sneaky manipulation But we have an identity as a 'good and honest' person We end up convincing ourselves that we have to lie and manipulate and that it is good. The self resists all the important and advanced teachings and misconstrues them. Nothing is inherently good or bad. Our aim is to be conscious of our actions You cannot see Reality as it is because of survival (Needy vs non-needy perception) You are a robot! Become conscious of your survival drives Survival is deeply intelligent. It isn't a dumb mechanical phenomenon Survival knows no shame. It will do anything to achieve its goal It's subtle, non-linear, sophisticated and complex There's nothing fair about survival. It is raw selfishness We have to survive in a social environment rather than just a physical one Career niche = Perfect fit between you and your environment. Many survival strategies were baked into our brains right since birth Unconscious survival strategies often backfire To be good at life, do survival in a more conscious manner Mind/psyche is like a ghost that has taken over the body. You are that ghost. You!! Right there! Behind the eyes! This ghost must look out for physical and psychic dangers. It must think as the good guy Devilry must be misconstrued as goodness The body of the ghost is made of beliefs and ideas Identity is fused with models and beliefs and the ghost will maintain them even if they are dysfunctional The ghost must keep itself motivated Everything you think and feel has an ulterior motive. One has to bullshit themselves into taking action To do: - Monitor survival at a micro level. Minute to minute. - Notice all the manipulation and trickery. Don't try to change it. - Notice the specific survival needs that are unique to you - You need to do things to be the way you are. Notice all those - Try not doing one of these things and see how the ghost reacts - Pay extra attention to your thoughts and emotions - Your ghost: Contemplate on these ○ What does it want? ○ What does it hate? ○ What is it trying to be? ○ What/who does it hate? ○ What is its worldview? - What in my life is not survival? It will take us years and decades to improve at all this. Be patient All emotional ups and downs are emotions in action You must become more conscious of your survival. And not just good at survival. Survival is suffering! Nothing fulfills you. Survival isn't designed to make you happy, it is designed to keep you alive until death becomes absolutely unavoidable Maybe there is a different (and better) way to live your life There is a possibility of life outside survival! Understanding Survival - Part 2 - Advanced Insights About Survival Do the homework assignments, always! Not just theory, philosophy, ideas. It will change your life if you actualize it and observe yourself. Squirrels: Oak-murdering machines. But they also help in planting the oak trees. Insights: - Survival can be symbiotic - The squirrel does not know what it is doing (mechanical actions) - Ultimately, selfishness goes full circle and contributes to Absolute Goodness - Survival vs selflessness: Dualistic thinking; must be transcended Humans obfuscate survival: Our strategy is highly evolved and sophisticated Being good at survival and being conscious of survival are two different things E.g.: Donald Trump These days, it is very easy to take survival for granted. The brutality of survival is justified and hidden away from our awareness. Esp. Businesses. E.g.: Bananas in a grocery store Inversely: Living by yourself in a rainforest would put us in touch with the harshness of survival Appreciate how intelligent survival is Unbelievably intelligent. It’s a force of the Universe. Evolution Insights: - The more central an object is to our survival, the more upset we become when it is threatened ○ High: children/parents/pets ○ Medium: car/house/bank account ○ Low: towel/shoe - We'll conjure up flowery stories about why our agenda is noble and selfless - Brutal honesty is necessary - Just because a survival strategy fails, does not mean that it's not a survival strategy ○ E.g.: § Buying spoiled lettuce from a grocery store § Robbing a bank ○ There are many degrees of intelligence to survival strategies ○ Short term survival strategy (extreme neediness + unconscious behavior) vs long term survival strategy - Survival isn't about physical survival, it's about the survival of the 'self' concept and worldview - For Humans: Survival goes way beyond food, clothing, and shelter ○ E.g.: Smoking ○ Teenagers: Trying to fit in and appear 'cool' - Psychological comfort is a big part of survival strategy ○ Even depression can be a survival strategy ○ E.g.: a 9-5 job you hate. § Subconscious mind (soul?) sends a message § But the ego is scared § Depression was a signal, which was muted by the self § Victim identity § Most depressions don't end in suicides ○ Suicide bombers: Strong religious convictions. The bomber has an idea of an afterlife (and 72 virgins). Extremely foolish? § Joke's on you! He does become Allah after death, but his strategy is extremely counterproductive - We pick up a lot of these strategies when we're young, from society ○ Unconsciously ○ Very counterproductive ○ Programmed into us - There is no such thing as 'the one best' survival strategy ○ It depends on the unique needs of the ego-self ○ A strategy that works for you may not work for another ○ It is commensurate with one's environment (culture, era, geopolitics) - It is common for people/cultures/countries to impose their survival strategies onto others ○ Consciousness and big-picture thinking is needed ○ Respect other people's needs and unique traits ○ We are all at different stages of development (use Spiral Dynamics) - Cultural diversity exists for a reason. Ta-da! ○ E.g.: Cuisines (commensurate with resources available) - Survival has co-opted all social institutions (Governments, Military, charities, media, etc.) ○ Humans are social creatures ○ This is prevalent even among ants (and many other life-forms) ○ Collective Ego ○ All institutions are filled with Politics: It is central to its survival ○ Even chimps have politics in their groups Ideas and beliefs become central to survival. Defending them is vital for the ego Worldview is very difficult to change. It is like the operating system that we run on The OS is foundational E.g.: Your idea of what a family is; what gender is Metaphysics is central to our understanding of life: - Scientific materialism - Religion - Note: Claiming you have no metaphysics means that you have adopted the default metaphysics of the culture you grew up in Our identity isn't real - We manufactured it (albeit unconsciously) - Then we deny we ever did that - We seek a worldview to ground ourselves in Reality - People are threatened by the Truth - Truth needs no defending, falsehood does - Dualistic belief in God allows people to shirk responsibility and judge others - Gender is a social construct, so is science, laws, and most things in society - Survival strategy: ○ Denial ○ Judgment ○ Criticism ○ Self-deception Survival is its own end. Personally, there's no higher purpose to it You are totally oblivious to your own survival strategy - Because it doesn't serve the strategy - It will be painful to discover and admit how neurotic and selfish we are - We all want to paint ourselves in a good light and appear 'holier than thou' Consciousness makes blind selfishness untenable. Consciousness comes with great responsibility. Deceiving others and ourselves becomes difficult. High consciousness teachings can go against survival Distraction: The Ego's favorite self-deception mechanism What you call 'evil' is just somebody else's survival strategy - Applies to all things, including rape, murder, corruption, terrorism, etc. - Evil is that which hinders your survival strategy - It's perspectival and relativistic - Denial that evil is relative is just another survival strategy Go meta Stop judging other people's survival strategies Mindfuck: Your judgment of others is a part of your own survival strategy Morality: Self-deception Getting upset is a good indicator that your worldview is threatened

OXFORD LEARNERS DICTIONARIES TRUTH: The true facts about something, rather than the things that have been invented or guessed. The quality or state of being based on fact. A fact that is believed by most people to be true. As I can see, none of them actually tells you anything satisfactory. It's like asking someone what is truth? he pointed towards her and she did the same. Just more word game, circular definitions. Looks like these definitions feed off of each other just to keep surviving in the dictionaries. There is no mention of consciousness or YOU anywhere in these definitions, which is a travesty, and if someone did mention terms like consciousness, god, ego, me, non-duality, etc. it would be a travesty for the most academics and even most non-academics. No one except few, asks you to SHUT UP, be silent and look within and very few do the work till the end. ----------- Episode Notes 1: "How come Truth is such a slippery beast?" -Douglas Hofstadter "If you find Truth you will become invincible." -Epictetus Warning: Advanced Episode! Tricky Topic! It is a big deal to understand what Truth is (and not just hear about it) People take it for granted (Materialist paradigm) It is possible to become conscious of absolute truth. Leo (and many others) have done it. Do your homework. Pursue the Truth. Do not turn this into a Dogma. Leo's Story: - Taking a piss while tripping on LSD - Wondering: What is the Truth? - The conceptual notion of the Truth melted away, leaving the actual Truth. The Truth: - It is Being - The entirety of the present moment - It is the most radical (yet ordinary-seeming) thing Psychedelics help;) Common misconceptions about the Truth: - Truth is a belief - It is a concept or an abstraction - It is a philosophy or ideology - It is knowledge - It is a theory, model, concept or abstraction - It is science, logic or mathematics - It is impossible to access - It is subjective - It is logical and must make sense - It can be communicated via text/speech - It is provable - It is not a big deal - It has no implications on ordinary life Relative truth: - Conceptual truths of the mind Examples: - The sky is blue - The Eifel Tower is located in Paris, France - A human hand has 5 fingers - 1+1=2 - Squirrels like to eat acorn' - World War 2 happened - Objects are made out of atoms Why are these Relative? - These are all contingent, pseudo-truths - They depend upon concepts, symbols, language, and thought - These are all held within our minds (and are not fundamental to Reality) - Blue sky: ○ One needs to understand the language. Other animals cannot understand it. Be careful: Don't assume consciousness of all beings is analogous to that of humans, or that humans have the highest level of consciousness possible ○ Which planet's sky? What time of the day are we looking at the sky? Which shade of blue? Does it appear blue to other life forms? - Human hand: 5 fingers ○ People with 6 fingers exist - 1+2=2 ○ One needs to understand the symbols ○ One needs to understand the logic of arithmetic - These are based on a correspondence theory of truth. ○ All Western and Eastern philosophies are also based on this ○ It assumes Realism and tries to confirm theories/philosophies with the help of 'external objective' reality - There is a big difference between the actual sky being blue and the thought/concept that the sky is blue - Example: A donkey may be able to see a blue sky, but have no idea what 'blue' is. - Relative truths are second-order; they are something our minds do on top of Reality - They have a negative: Falsehood, thus creating a duality Absolute Truth: - True under all circumstances - Actual rather than conceptual - Exercise: Hand exercise from 'What is Actuality?' - Exercise: Observe the room you are in. That's Absolute Truth: What is! - What we call 'Experience' is the Absolute Truth ○ It isn't what we think it is ○ If something is happening to you, it must be True ○ Truth is that which IS! The ISness itself. The direct experience - What is Truth = What is Reality = What is Actuality = What is Isness = What is Being - We don't have experience of anything that isn't ISing - Truth is the actual state of Reality at all points in space and time - It isn't our knowledge about Reality; knowledge is just a part of Reality that we are conscious of - Knowledge by itself will lead to a self-reference problem, it will not lead to the Truth - ISness is the most fundamental thing - Analogy: The Universe as a computer ○ An infinite number of bits ○ Absolute Truth = State of all bits in the system ○ The present moment is a part of that system - Reality is not made out of atoms, it is made out of the Truth - If we keep dividing objects, at some point, conceptually we hit rock bottom (Quarks, Strings, Membranes), which then leads to strange loops and self-referential problems - It is possible to understand the rock bottom nature of Reality, aka Truth. It requires an Awakening. - Everything is fundamentally made out of Truth - Truth isn't dependent on any other aspect of Reality - Analogy: God's complete view of the Universe - The Truth includes all little parts of Reality, which are also the Truth 1+1=3 - Is it the Truth? - Yes! - Not symbolically/mathematically - The ISness is important - It isn't true (logically), but right now, it is the Truth - Distinguish between knowledge and ISness False things must also exist! - Because it is in our consciousness - Falsehood is a second-order, relativistic thing - There is no opposite to Absolute Truth - Non-existence is a concept. - Falsehood and Non-existence are impossible in Actuality But Leo, there's no Kangaroo here! - The concept of a Kangaroo just popped in your consciousness - You then projected that onto the narrative with Leo What about Death? - Is it Actual, or is it conceptual? - Contemplate But Leo, what is the Truth? Tell me - Language, logic, the human mind is limited and exists as a result of the ISness. - Truth is already here - It must be grasped. It is right in front of us. - Any words are just more ISing - Put your attention on ISness. Eventually, one can breakthrough - Analogy: Recognising one's image in the mirror. Takes a high level of consciousness You can't get to the Truth, because it is already here. (Ta-Da!) - It’s the lack of consciousness on our part that keeps us from Truth, not lack of proof/evidence/logic - The brain/mind cannot think/hold the Truth - Truth isn't a thought. The thought is a part of the Truth If the entire Universe was destroyed, the Truth would still exist! - Because then, the Truth would be that there is no Universe - It is a really slippery beast What if there is no Truth? - It is contradictory. Truth is the ISness, which supersedes any fact about the Universe - Analogy: The content of the hard drive does not affect the hard drive (as an object) - When there is no Universe, there will be Nothing, which is different from non-existence - Pure absolute Truth = ISness = Nothingness Truth is prior to everything else - Time, space, energy, matter are all aspects of the Truth - Truth is not a linguistic or semantic notion Objection: Subjective Experience - Materialist paradigm ○ It's just human perception ○ Objective Reality exists independent of the self and is True - The Ego has turned Truth into subjective experience - See 'What is Perception?' episode - Subjective experience is a delusion, created by the Ego (thanks to science and the culture) to convince that the self exists and that things are happening to it. - In short: You are not real - There are no biological entities, no subjectivity. There is only Absolute Truth. Truth is Objective. - This is the Real World. It is pretending to be you and pretending that it has feelings, relationships, a job, problems, etc. - The Universe/God is doing you Awakening = Entire perceptual field - The 'I' - Then there will be radical recontextualization of subjectivity and it will be recognized as the Truth - The reason why we’re stuck in subjectivity is because we imagine ourselves to be a subject - The Universe imagines that it is a human - Emotional reaction? Existential Terror? ○ It is a defense mechanism ○ You are on the right track ○ By default, we are interested in survival rather than the Truth Truth is metaphysical and not epistemological - The duality between metaphysics and epistemology collapses with an Awakening since the perceiver is taken out of the picture Episode Notes 2: Features of the Absolute Truth: - It has no opposites - It cannot be proven by scientific experimentation - It cannot be symbolized - It cannot be quantified - It cannot be communicated or taught - It is infinite - It is one, singular, total - It is utterly illogical, paradoxical and it makes no sense to the mind - It must necessarily negate itself - Any quality ascribed to it is true, false, both and neither - It possesses all qualities, including the quality of having no quality - It is Nothing, it is Consciousness, awareness, pure ISness It might take one several years to understand what is being communicated here. That's okay and the Truth is worth it. Use this info as a roadmap. Important aspects of the Truth: - It is the whole Universe - It is consciousness - It is God - It is Love - It is uncaused, amechanical and Self-created - It is eternal and nonlocalized - It is intelligent and sentient - It is (Absolutely) Good - It has no beginning or end - There is nothing beyond the Absolute Truth - It is Everything and Nothing at the same time - It is Form and Formlessness - It includes all dualities, distinctions, and differences - It is all-powerful. It creates everything - It is NOW. The present moment of the Now! - It is impossible to avoid - It is mysterious and mystical - It is true not knowing (Peter Ralston) - It is utter mind fuckery - It is enormous - It is life-transforming - It is beyond importance (which is relative) - It is beyond meaning (also relative) - It is Life and Death - It is the only thing that there is and the only thing that there could ever be - It cannot be turned into an ideology - It is radical - It is awesome and terrifying at the same time - It is Paradise and total perfection - It is Self-awareness - It is self-illuminating, self-evident and self-knowing - It is Omniscience - It is totally direct. It has zero processes, method or mechanism - It is the solution to all human problems - It is the aim of all philosophy and spirituality - It has many practical implications - It is You (I). It is not separate from the Self - It is multidimensional - It is the substance of the entire (fucking) Universe. That is its function. FAQ: Where did the Truth come from? - From Nowhere/Nothing - Truth is Nothing = Everything = Infinity = Life - There is no difference between Possible and Impossible - That's God. God always was/IS. - You exist forever What if you are deluded, Leo? - The Truth must be directly grasped - Someone else discovering the Truth does us no service - Delusion is what keeps us from the truth What if there's something beyond the Absolute Truth? - It is Infinity, boundless, Everything - There's no such thing as 'beyond the Truth' How come science does not validate this? - It’s You! - Science is a second-order phenomenon. The Truth comes before it. - It can only be accessed personally What is the relationship between Absolute Truth and Relative Truth? - Science/Math is full of relative truths, which facilitates survival - Knowing Absolute Truth doesn't add any value to survival - There is a correspondence between the Absolute Truth and second-order Scientific truth - Relative truths are partial and dualistic, Absolute Truth is the end of all dualities and complete - The relative is a part of the Absolute How is Absolute Truth useful/practical? - For the Ego, it is pretty useless, even detrimental - However, usefulness itself is a part of the Truth - Usefulness requires Existence. Truth is so useful, that it is useless Why should I pursue the Truth? - Stupid question - There are no shoulds in Reality - There's no reason to pursue the Truth - Benefits: ○ The beauty and the wonder ○ Eliminates suffering (which is falsehood) - Pursue it out of genuine interest How can I discover it? - Meditate and develop laser sharp concentration abilities - Kriya Yoga - Psychedelics - Self-inquiry - Contemplate - Read books How will I know that I have discovered the Absolute Truth? - The truth will be self-evident - It is You, so you will know that it is the Truth - It is a Massive Epiphany How can a psychedelic reveal the Absolute Truth? - A psychedelic isn't just a chemical - The proof is in the pudding How can the Truth be Love? - They are absolutely identical - Love = Consciousness = Truth - Awakening to the Truth and the true nature of Love are different Can my Truth be different from your Truth? - No - It may be interpreted in different ways What has been said in this video is the Truth? - Truth is paradoxical - Words are not the Absolute Truth, and they are, at the same time Is it Egotistical to claim to know the Truth? - The Truth IS - Leo is trying to make his content interesting - The Truth transforms everything about life Warnings: - Beware of anyone who claims to know the Truth and uses it to brand themselves and their teachings. Devil loves to co-opt the Truth - If you think that the Truth is a property of the mind or some human phenomenon, then you haven't grasped the Truth. Go deeper. - Truth is not merely formlessness or cessation. The entire relative domain (of forms) is the formless in disguise. - One Awakening does not guarantee that you understand Absolute Truth - You will not access Truth without a change in the state of consciousness. Psychedelics are a good catalyst. - Anything you think is the Absolute Truth is probably just delusion (and ironically also the Truth ;)) "All the techniques of the therapist are in one way or another truth-revealing, or are ways if strengthening the patient so he can bear the truth" - Abraham Maslow We all need self-therapy to increase our capacity to bear the Truth When we get disconnected from the Truth, Egoic and neurotic problems arise Your true mission in life is to transcend survival and discover the Truth Everything else seems nonsense once Truth is grasped The cost of the Truth is the Ego. That's real Transformation. What Leo teaches isn't religious or scientific dogma. It is meant to serve as a pointer and map for Self-work. It is the finger pointing at the moon. Actualized.org is a set of relative truths and mental scaffolding that is meant to guide us to the Truth.

What is love part 2 - The Brutal Nature Of Love // pasted from a youtube comment, some insights might be missing “The greatest love seems indifferent”- lao Tzu Go watch video for the Lego analogy it's very important Existential awakening of love is central and the heart of the path. It's a distinct aspect of it. Identical to truth; your purpose to understand love, which is identical to: truth, being, nothing, everything, consciousness, god, absolute, infinity, creation, reality. First order love is the substance of consciousness which everything is made. Absolute love second order love is relationships and friendships children or food ect. Relative love Consciousness is love all hate is an expression of first order love. The greater the understanding of first order love reflects second order quality. All brutality is actually inherent to reality, consciousness is running into all aspects of itself and it recoils at its own self reflection. Consciousness is impermanent. everything you cling too will leave you. Your identity is trying to make impermanence permanent there's always that potential brutality you think unconditional love is hate. You need it to be to survive as an ego and is the hardest thing for a finite thing to do, infinite consciousness ends finite form. Ego is conditional love to survive. Ego is arrogant not everything is about you. laws of love Everything in the universe happens to maximize love Colay if something is happening and you don't see the love in it you are not conscious enough Truth and love are tautologies Everyone is doing good from their point of view and acting from love. Tyrants, genocide, rape, murder, cannibalism, incest and cancer is out of love if your (infinite) scope is large enough, it is a nessesary function that is counterintuitive everything is interconnected the selfless universe gives you the freedom to have selfishness. Reality is radical, god gives you enough rope to hang yourself and you love to shoot yourself in the foot and blame reality. Everything that is, is what must be What has already happened has already happened that is necessary, Reality is infinitely complex take this into account. You will make sense of this when you realize the necessary aspects, the brutality of love. This isn’t justifying hate, actual love is selfless and unconditional anything else creates the very thing you hate. love is serious and is so real and threatening that it will change the very thing you don't want to accept God is all things including unsustainable devilry. Pain and death are necessary to life. Pure love is proportional to consciousness How is survival crucial to love? How is devilry crucial to love? These questions will help you see how love is hate. Transcending hate is realizing infinite love if humans had a god it would be a devil, because God's love is infinite people hate. You can be as selfish as you are free; you are not human you are god. No finite being can handle infinite love of god dissolve limited human identity GOD=DEATH CONSCIOUSNESS-EGO=TRUTH EXISTENCE=LOVE The infinite love of God has no desires but to explore all potentials of consciousness and all of life creating and imagining simultaneously that's how everything was created not through natural selection but through infinite mind. God is the one talking and listening and imagining. you are god being a devil. God describing itself to itself. 3 things to be a good person Be conscious surrender fears get rid of devilry LOVE is courage and absolute do not fail at either masculine or feminie love (Balance) it is contextual get to the point where the horror of reality strengthens you and tests your love how much can your consciousness accept that that horror is god. Awakening is not dry, stoic, and cold you will not be a terminator without emotions with awakening you will be softer and more emotional you will care more and become more human awakening transcends these opposites don't be dogmatic about awakening be open to love

Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.

A little summary, some insights might be missing. So, if you have a solid summary of this one, post it. I really liked this episode. How Corruption Works Definitions: dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct Corruption operates on untruth, manipulation, lack of spiritual connection, lack of love and perspective, rightenousness, denial, projection, fear, attachment, materialism, lower chakra drives for higher power - sex, money, laziness, glutany, chronyism. The more you are run by your lower chakras the more corrupt you are. The more corrupt you are the lower you are on the spiral dynamics stage. The higher the stage, the larger sense of self. The more limited the more you comform and are corrupt, too self-involved and worried about your self agenda. see your own little corruptions and admit that you are being corrupted, awareness alone is curative, purify yourself of your corruptions how is corruption holding me back from greatness, fro mactualizing my vision for my life purpose examples of corruption: manipulating your spose to get what you want out of her downloading copyrighted illegal material exploiting the situation to get sex cheating in a video game lying cheating on a test exagerating on your resume trying to get favorse from people cutting corners at work laziness greed envy anger fear, your thinking process, hatred, judgement thinking you deserve special treatment in certain situations lying to get a better deal when you have a craving. how that corrupts you see how your worldview is distorted by your survival needs excuses, rationalization, justifications the ideologies you adopt to manipulate life all these things will expand when you get more power and become a leader how is corruption solved the light of awareness - awareness alone is curative curruption is falsehood corruption is solved by truth, truth always wins in the long term, but falsehood can win sometimes temporarily I am so thoroughly self deceived that it distorts my entire perception of reality." evolution increases consciousness and love the solution is love, consciousness, truth, spirit corruption lurks in the shadows, if you were totally transparent and a camera followed you everywhere there would be no chance for corruption, your selfish thoughts, emotions are only recognized by you, but what if everybody knew what they were don't judge others corruption, getting yourself rid of corruption is a life's work, its god's work have some compassion towards others corruption, corrupt people are not evil, they are just lost in unconsciousness, they are trying to survive you need to be able to go from big picture to this little picture, to not get lost in the little picture and forgetting the big picture, or just being in fairy land and talking about big picture ideas and ideals but then not doing any work or practices sometiems you have to see how ugly your behavior is to correct it elevating the quality of life, satisfying basic needs stop corruptions, so people have less need for corruption as you become more spiritual, corruption stops what are the ways in which I am corrupt? journaling, contemplation, shamanic breathing, facing your fears, opening your heart and being more loving, you also need to take collective action

Understanding Impermanence - Why Reality Is Always Changing // Devilry occurs when you try to make the impermanent permanent. you can only be a devil for a short while, not forever, devilry is temporary, god is forever. God is a shapeshifter a devil is what god becomes when it limits itself to a particular limited shape or form. and the devil then tries to maintain it shape or form by using all sorts of manipulations. make a list of all the forms your try to freeze and identify the ones you are most attached to freezing (people, animals, things, ideas, stuff about your body, appearance, your life, finances, whatever it is) "i'm not willing to let go of the position of power, money, business (oil company that destroys the environment - can you let that go for the sake of the environment and then nooo I wont let that go!.... you are selfish as fuck, you are a devil impermanence happens because of oneness, nonduality (reality is one thing, that means that no part of reality can gain an absolute monopoly over any other part, because all parts are equally powerful, not in one moment in time, but across all of time, no part of God can be all powerful and dominate the other parts because all balances itself in the end. But every part of God is trying to do that and that is the very mechanism of devilry. Devilry is when one part of god overtake all other parts and create a monopoly. ( The term monopoly is often used to describe an entity that has total or near-total control of a market. / the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.( from the perspective of the part (from you) is very unfortunate that things are impermanent, because you call that death. You call that mortality and for you mortality seems very unfortunate. From the gods perspective you want the devil to be mortal, not immortal. At first glance impermanence will seem depressive and negative to you, because you are devil and you're selfish. But impermanence is a great gift. So we reform devils by showing them that impermanence is not something you fear, resist and manipulate your way to avoid but something that you embrace. Not only does impermanence liberate you in the end and reduce suffering it also hidgens appreciation, love, enjoyment and beauty of the formed world. Start to notice that the things that you love the most in your life, that are so good, are precisely good because they are temporary. It is their impermanence that makes you appreciate them so much. ice cream, caviar, favorite food, film ... if you would eat the same ice cream every day for a year you would find it disgusting you appreciate things much more when they are gone (parents, children) God wants to maximize the creative diversity of life. Train yourself to appreaciate the cycle of lose, this is the cycle of life, the death of one thing creates room for something else "Awareness of the transience of all things heightens appreciation of their beauty, and envokes a gentle sadness at their passing. "Wikipedia God is lost in translation. God is that which you cannot put into words. Impermanence means that you will: lose your family. fame, status, wealth, good furtune, health, youth and good looks sharp mental faculties, memories being the strongest or the best at whatever your skills and your mastery every relationship you have will die every religion will die corporation, organization, political party, social movement, cult will die trend will pass every language will die every scientific theory will die every spiritual teaching will die and become corrupt every book will be lost and forgotten every person will be forgotten every city and country will die every civilization will die, every culture, tradition, will die species will go extinct humanity will die and go extinct continents go out of existence cause they transform into something else every physical object will die .... Every part will be made whole, every duality will collapse, every devil will merge back with God. That's what oneness means, that's what impermanence means, because life and death is a duality. The cost of being born is death. cigarette companies still cling to their products even though it's killing people, that's devilry. Foolish people try to cling and freeze reality into certain forms. One of the counter intuitive moves is to embrace impermanence rather than manipulating your way out of it. The cost of being a form is that eventually you must change form. Death is really a changing in form, you are shifting your shape . Surrender everything. Immortality is not possible via attachment to form. The bad news is that everything good that you gain in life will be lost. And the good news is that everything bad that be false you, will not be permanent. Impermanence is gods safety vault, but you labeled it as the greatest evil, precisely because your mind is limited and cannot see the full perspective. The mistake that you made is that you identified with a human being but what you truly are is a infinite shape shifter. When a shape shifter clings to his identity the suffers because it's untrue to his identity, Your likes, dislikes change, every cell becomes a totally new one...but you kid yourself that you are always the same. Become an infinite shape shifter. "Shape-shifting requires the ability to transcend your attachments, in particular your ego attachments to identity and who you are. If You can get over your attachment to labeling yourself and your cherishing of your identity, you can be virtually anybody. You can slip in and out of different sheels, even different animal forms or deity forms" - Zeena Schrech Form is formlessness Your first awakening will be moving from form to formlessness, but it will still be a duality and you will not be fully awake. You no longer This duality collapses and you no longer think nirvana is some other place but that nirvana is this place and has been this place the whole time. You have to access truth like you are the first one to access it,. Directly, here and now. How to apply this wisdom: Deeply observe impermanence in practice every single day. What you're feeling on your body, notice how you are being scared now and an hour later you are no longer scared..... Train your mind that everything fades. Observe how you cling and how this clinging to permanence, trying to freeze reality, how this causes suffering for yourself. Observe yourself doing this observe how others cling and the suffering that that causes, observe how politicians cling to their power, how celebrities cling to their fame Gradually surrender more and more attachments. notice yourself trying to cling to a state, like you cling to a pleasure and you want to keep that pleasure as long as possible Try to enjoy impermanence, how it's good that you're not eating the ice cream and how it good when you're eating it You become more spontaneous and able to enjoy the positives and the negatives, the peaks and the quiet moments. For the next 7 days, wear a wrist band and every time you look at it, remember to pause and remember that you're doing this exercise, trying to see things impermanence. Every moment will become more precious and special

" Channeled by Andrew, this being Elan is from the Essassani civilization and offers profound information on the mechanics of "how" we each create our own reality. This information is very similar to the wisdom offered by Bashar - another being from the same civilization. However, each of these two beings focuses on emphasizing different "facets" of this civilization's "data-base" of accumulated Wisdom." - Iasos.com https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_G8cfb_HaeaV05lZ1Eydi1KMTA?dti=82990426678&fref=gc https://iasos.com/metaphys/elan/

Letting go technique Let go of something every day. you identify something within your experience - anything and you let it go - desires, needs, attachments, frustrations, emotions, grudges, habits, thoughts, obsessions...

It's only because you are focused on trying to retain a memory, that you don't know what you need to know when you need to know it. We have no memory at all, and thus we forget nothing, because we have nothing to forget. Therefore we know everything we need to know when we need to know it. Bashar, July 6 2013 "A new definition of memory i got from Bashar reflection :- Q - what is memory? A- memory is accessing information you need when you needed it, it is created in the present , it does not come from the past. you know what you need to know , when you need to know . Reinventing history in the present." "Q- Obtaining info by not using Wi-fi & a new definition of memory from Bashar B:Your brain is a receiver & idea is create in a moment. You are not actually remembering - you think as Memory . neurological pattern in your brain that represent concept of memory,, it is not what happening by present neurologist knowledge , What is a happening is in that moment - brain rearrange itself , rewiring to knows at that moment , it is not memory storage. it is memory realignment so that that information arises exactly when you needed it.. it is malleability of brain works to become a receptor that is in vibrational harmony with inflammation you needed at that moment. From :-2019: Crossing the Threshold Q& A" "We create our memories in the present, so why do we believe that creating certain memories in the present that we perceive to have a negative emotional effect serve us? As the motivational mechanism states- we always move in the direction of what we believe serves us. Maybe because we wish to learn to transform these negative states, but maybe realizing this is all the transformation we need and then can choose a different memory. “I don’t prefer that perspective of that memory.” - and/or maybe it’s just- ”I don’t prefer that perspective”."

@Leo Gura A little offtopic, for the sake of mindfucks. Humans are already a product of the hybridization of multiple alien species. There are studies about this. It goes even further... some people are aware that they have hybrid children with Greys. I personally know someone who meets his hybrid children in the astral plane. Bridget Nielsen on youtube has a lot of content about hybrid children.

@SQAAD No. Consciousness is a field. I would call this field the torus field or as Leo called it the strange loop. It's the same thing. An atom has a torus field around it. A cell has a torus field around it. The human body has a torus field around it. The earth, the sun, the galaxy... all have a torus fields around it. Souls are like branches from a tree. Souls come from overSouls and so on... Fractals...

@Bobby You need to go beyond that.

Antonio's multidimensional perspective is mindblowing.

The big picture. Becoming an ambassador for higher dimensional civilizations by opening ourselves to higher perceptions and thus creating a ripple effect in the field of collective consciousness, so other beings will be able to perceive it and bring a new reality into existence.

@Bobby Watch the videos before spamming the thread.

@Bobby Watch the video presentation I posted below. There are thousands of cases like this.

@Serotoninluv Just notice the self-deception.

@Serotoninluv @Aerial How do you know he didn't experience absolute infinity? You don't. You assume he didn't. That was the point.

Mary Rodwell ~ The New Humans/Crystals/Indigos/Starchildren 2012

@Serotoninluv Be careful with your assumptions. Some of the things he talked about go way beyond what Leo experienced in my opinion. For example if you are not spiritually mature enough, there is no chance you will astral project and meet ascended masters and advanced ETs and be totally conscious during the whole experience. Spiritual work kinda prepares you for these experiences, the more spiritually mature you are the higher the likelihood you will have these experiences in other realms. @ivory That's your personal opinion not a fact.

@Jed Vassallo I personally learned how to make contact with ET lightships from him. 100% sober while being awake during the day. You can learn more in this post:

@Mu_ He deleted all his personal videos 4 years ago but he still has a lot of other content on his channel. This is his channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/DesiignMS/videos?disable_polymer=1 He was prolific. He was making songs, music videos, animations, informational videos, painting, drawings, selling special crystal pendants and other inventions. He made a big 3D model of a futuristic meditation temple at 15 and other mindblowing stuff... This is my favorite meditation music from him. Very good for meditation. (use headphones) https://www.deviantart.com/arcturusant (he also deleted a lot of content from his devian art but there is still something there, a few songs also https://www.deviantart.com/arcturusant/posts)
