  1. @AtmanIsBrahman I have collected a number of synonyms for what you refer to as pure truth, “God (n., sense 2)”, PDFsam_merge_16_pt_29_November_2025.pdf, 95–96, https://mega.nz/folder/h5pG3Dia#6K7_dyn22-W5dR9C2MauHg.
  2. “If you will look at it from your very own center, the words love, acceptance, identification, understanding, communication, truth, God, Self are all the same.” (Levenson 1993, 43, 122-124, 250-258; Keyes 1992, 2-11) “Reality is a race, consciousness is a race towards who can love (= “like or enjoy very much”) who more.” (…, “Outrageous Experiments In Consciousness - 30 Awakenings In 30 Days”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnn0IU0-atg, 1 hr., 1 min., 55 sec.) “Now, the truth is the absolute one, the changeless. That which never changes is true. If it changes, it wasn't true in the first place.” (“Lester Levenson, Hale Dwoskin - Lester Levenson (Sedona Method) Magnum Opus PDF-Lester Levenson _ Sedona Method (2024)”, 164) “All of my desire for my entire life has just been desire of my own self. …. So in a sense all of your desire is really, is a perversion of the desire for God.” (…, “Outrageous Experiments In Consciousness - 30 Awakenings In 30 Days”, 19 April 2020, 47 min., 20 sec., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnn0IU0-atg) “This thing that everyone is seeking, this thing that everyone calls happiness, is nothing but the infinite Self that we are. Everyone, in his every act, is seeking this infinite Self that he is, calling it by other names: money, happiness, success, love, etc.” (Levenson 1993, 305) “Anyone who’s seeking happiness is seeking the Self. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are consciously seeking God, happiness, the Self, and those who are unconsciously seeking them.” (Levenson 1993, 343) “Everyone is seeking his Self in his every act.” (Levenson 1993, 347) “The ultimate happiness is the Self. Any other happiness is only a bit of the Self.” (Levenson 1993, 347) “The Third Noble Truth is the Cessation of _Dukkha_, Nirvāṇa, the Absolute Truth, the Ultimate Reality.” (Rahula 1978, 50) ““I’m going to get better as I do The Work”—if you have that as a motive, you can afford that hope, since it’s true that as you do The Work you do get better, until you catch up to your dear, wonderful self and discover that, except for what you’ve been believing, you and the world have always been perfect, and you were innocent without being aware of it.” (Katie and Mitchell 2017, chap. 9) “Any motive other than the love of truth won’t work. It’s the truth that sets you free. That’s an accurate statement—it’s not just written in a bible somewhere. And the truth we’re talking about is not someone else’s truth; it’s your own. That’s the only truth that can set you free.” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, chap. 40) “If someone were to ask us whether we would prefer to be enlightened or happy, we would obviously choose happiness. If we believed that enlightenment would bring us misery, we would never seek it. It is only because it is believed that enlightenment will bring happiness that we are willing to devote our lives to seeking it. Likewise, if we believed that knowledge of God would make us miserable, no one would seek God. The only reason we were seeking enlightenment or God in the first place was that all other possible sources of happiness had failed us thus far. It is often as a last resort that we turn to the search for enlightenment or God, in the hope that its fulfilment will finally relieve us of our suffering and provide happiness. Therefore, the desire for happiness is the highest desire, and as such it is unique: it is the only thing we seek for its own sake.” (Spira 2022, _You Are the Happiness You Seek: Uncovering the Awareness of Being_, 6) “Once you understand yourself, you are the pleasure you were seeking; you are what you always wanted.” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, chap. 73) “If you were able to love as much as God what would happen is that this duality would completely merge and you would literally become God so the only thing separating you from God is simply your capacity to love which is just a function of how selfless you are” (…, “Outrageous Experiments In Consciousness - 30 Awakenings In 30 Days”, 19 April 2020, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnn0IU0-atg) “You are NOT God as long as you oppose what is.” (Katie 1998, 150)
  3. “The basic mechanism of desire is, first, we create a lack and then desire whatever is necessary to fill that lack. The desire creates thoughts. The thoughts cover the Self and this makes us unhappy. Then we look to relieve that unhappiness by fulfilling the desire which momentarily stills the thoughts. The stilling of thoughts removes a bit of the cover of the Self and it’s the feeling of a bit more of the Self that We call pleasure. We wrongly attribute that joy or pleasure to the thing or person that was used to fulfill the desire to relieve the agony of the thoughts of desire that were covering the Self. Because of this wrong attributing of the joy to the person or thing, the desire will never be satiated because the joy is not in the person or thing. The only possibility of satiety is to remain in your Self!” (Levenson 1993, _Keys to the Ultimate Freedom: Thoughts and Talks on Personal Transformation_, 109–110) “__Lester:__ You are making the physical thing the joy and it isn’t. The real thing is that you are that joy, only a million times more so! As high as the feeling is that you get from sex, you can go way, way beyond that feeling in joy, and have it twenty-four hours a day.” (Levenson 1993, _Keys to the Ultimate Freedom: Thoughts and Talks on Personal Transformation_, 264) https://archive.org/details/keys-to-the-ultimate-freedom-thoughts-and-talks-on-personal-transformation-leste “Love is what you are already. … Sometimes you may seem to trade love for the stressful thought appearing in the moment. It’s a little trip out into illusion. Seeking love is how you lose the awareness of love. But you can only lose the awareness of it, not the state. That’s not an option, because love is what we all are. That’s immovable. When you investigate your stressful thinking and your mind becomes clear, love pours into your life, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” (Katie and Katz 2005, _I Need Your Love-- Is That True? How to Stop Seeking Love, Approval, and Appreciation and Start Finding Them Instead_, 245–256) There may be more fitting excerpts.

  5. Thanks for the answer I can see what you're saying there, it surprisingly fits into my conceptual framework. Except for this sentence, what do you mean with answer for? To take responsibility? In what sense?
  6. Thx. Working on that, cautiously. I have put concentration & mindfulness on hold. @Razard86's latest threads caught my attention.
  7. Hello. This is what I am doing now. I’ve been at it for ~ a year. If I experience a stressful feeling then I know that it’s time to inquire. What’s the most effective way to go about talking to God? What are the instructions here? I am open to this path of no evidence I would like to speed up the process of awakening I don't care as much if it's not analytical.
  8. Is this your sober state? Are you living Heaven on Earth currently? @Leo Gura
  9. This is at odds with Leo's two latest videos. You don't harm others in order not to get in trouble with the dream police; there is no mention of you living the lives of those you have harmed. Likewise if you kill yourself (which you shouldn't) then your family ceases to exist; you living the lives of your family members is not an objection. @Inliytened1 Do you agree on this? Am I going to experience my mum's life or not?
  10. @Inliytened1 I don't understand how the post in OP is addressing the issue. If I am creating reality how come I am not aware of it? Not being conscious enough is not a good answer. There is no other side to the table. Everything that exists is here in experience except that there is no knowledge of how I am making it happen.
