1. Is God as Nothingness = Absolute Truth? Or are these 2 different in some way? 2. If absolute truth can't be communicated, spoken, proved etc. then how does one experience it? Is it a realization, a feeling, an insight? Does the room change in some way? If nothing about experience changes at all, then what is there to realize that is absolute truth? 3. Is absolute truth = ISness? Like is absolute truth = the fact that the screen of reality is ON. 4. Sometimes I have had consciousness of the fact that the only thing happening is what is in front of me, but I have only realized the fact of it, but it didn't hit me with a sense of profoundity, does that mean I didn't get it? 5. Also if absolute truth exists and can be experienced/found, why can't it be communicated? All of this mystery around what absolute truth is and why it is so profound, makes me deeply fucking excited spending my life trying to realize it.

I was just lying in my bed looking around me at my room and suddenly I had this strange shift in my consciousness where I felt like I was witnessing the inside of a snowglobe painted on the inside with what was my room and body etc. and it kind of felt like I was the space in the middle of the snowglobe where there exists nothing. Am I onto something here? Is this close to any of the no-self awakenings or am I just imagining random things? So if I put out my hand in front of me, it feels like my awareness is the space inside the snowglobe and my hand is "painted" on the wall if you will. Make sense? @Leo Gura could you assist me here please or anyone else who may have insight into the above. Thanks!

@Leo Gura "If you clean your shower you are cleaning the thing that cleans the thing that cleans the things that clean." - This was too good.

I have been working through some of the videos related to meta thinking, so it has been at the forefront of my focus in my day to day. Today I had a funny example of going meta happen in my experience. I spent a few hours cleaning all my washclothes, my broom, my vaccuum cleaner, my sinks, the inside of my dishwasher and washing machine, my soap trays, etc. and I realised how I was going meta: Cleaning the things that clean. LOL.

@Leo Gura In your one blog post you said: "What I hope you learn is that this philosophical work we do is not just theoretical or spiritual. Once you jailbreak your mind, your creative intelligence can be unleashed to advance mankind in any field. In music, film, art, novels, comic books, game design, therapy, coaching, healthcare, business, technology, science, politics, engineering, invention, etc. What I'm teaching you is not merely to realize God, but to connect your mind to God in such a profound way that it inspires you creatively to unleash innovative forms of art, business, craft, and human endeavor. You can use these teachings to become a world-class innovator and creator in any domain, and of course, earn millions along the way. If you want to become a millionaire, you better take creativity and innovation very seriously. And nothing will unleash your ability to innovate more than jailbreaking your mind. The key to innovation is reaching autonomous mind. I can show you how to do that. If your mind was connected to God, you could write a hit song that could sell millions of copies and set you up for life. So make sure you deeply consider the massive potential here. This work is not just about enlightenment. This work is about unleashing the full potential of the Infinite Mind that you are. You could pursue this work just for the sake of doing better art. If you jailbreak your mind, you can invent entirely new genres of music, or any art. God is creativity. God is Beauty. God is an artist. God is design. God is innovation. God is endless imagination. God is cleverness. God is genius." I definitely think part of my goal, amongst other things, is to use these teachings to do just that and try and revolutionise coaching and music production in my own way

@Leo Gura I am learning that integrating the depth of your insights into my journey of becoming a life coach and over time learning to integrate what you teach into my presence and teachings as a life coach is going to make me a 1% top tier coach. Your teachings infused into coaching and insights make it 100000x, I see the potential of this. Any opinion or insight you have on how integrating your teachings into coaching could make it infinitely more valuable?

Please make a video on navigating an hour self-inquiry session.

@Leo Gura In the last year or so you have spoken about a lot of awesome topics on your blog and referenced the reading of new books on these topics. It would be be awesome if you updated the booklist with some of your most eye-opening and interesting books on some of these new topics. Would this please be possible?

Hey guys! I recently had a call with an incredible coach and man on the spiritual path and it was extremely inspiring and insightful. I am very hungry to move on this path and at this stage of my journey, as I get qualified and learn more about this field, I would love to connect with and chat to other life coaches. Please let me know if anyone here on the forum is keen for an awesome discussion about coaching where I can ask questions and even share some of my own insights and provide value back to you!

@Leo Gura Interesting, so if I laser focus in on my direct experience, enlightenment/experience of myself as Nothingness may just make itself known? What blows my mind is that you said Nothingness isn't even an experience. So I am wondering what the 'experience' entails such that I even know it happened? How do I know I become enlightened if it isn't even an experience? It's crazy mindfucking.

@Leo Gura you said in you Advance Tips For Self-Inquiry video that in the end, with enlightenment, you receive infinity all at once, could you describe that deeper and what that entails? Also with enlightenment and self-inquiry, should I be feeling with my awareness into the underlying emptiness of what's happening around me or is that not it?

I imagine this is what awakening is going to feel like at 0:49 seconds

@Aaron p In general, did you have powerful results using mantras daily?

I have been contemplating this point for many years, and I still feel like part of me struggles with getting true clarity on it. Recently, I have begun the pursuit of my purpoes in life coaching and I couldn't be more excited. Before this discovery, from around 8 years ago, I realized that all I wanted to ever do in this reality was produce incredible music - this is something I think about almost every time I isten to music. However, I always had this mental block which knew that from my current age of 27, if I was to pursue a purpose in creating music, in order for me to create a successful purpose out of it from which I could successfully live, would require many hours every single day of learning, for at least the next 8-10 years, which is fine, but i realized that would mean reading less books, watching less of Leo's content, having less time for spiritual practices and less of a lot of the study of self-actualization simply due to the level of work needed to pursue the life purpose, which is something that makes my mind very uncomfortable. This has alwasys been one reason I have opted for a life purpose that is within the realm of self-development (something like what Leo does and something like life coaching etc.) so that I can involve myself heavily in my life purpose and be doing those things at the same time. So, my main point is that I have held myself from learning music and pursuing it, due to the amount of hours it will take, for a decade, and considering I have a full-time job as a software engineer, I fear that this will diminish my ability to read lots of books, study Leo's content and delve deep into the more advanced levels of epistomology, development, metaphysics, spirituality etc. I also know, one can't switch over to a career in music in a short period such as 3 years as it take much longer to get very good at producing electronic style music. So when I discovered that my 2 potential life purpose's are in music and coaching/self-development, I opted for coaching because it's far more intimitely connected to all the books and videos and self-actualisation in Leo's videos. So I feel like I won't miss out as much. I have missed out on 5 years of making music based on this block. I hope this makes sense. @Leo Gura I would really appreciate your wisdom on this point.

@Leo Gura Big respect to you for doing what you have done, even with health problems. Makes your work even more admirable.
