Right! Even your earlier self-help videos would attract what the ego is searching for and your titles have gnarly hooks that are appeasing to sleepwalkers and once they got deep in the video, you basically disarm the ego, like the cleverness of the fox when it pretends to be playful to the cat only to snap its neck metaphorically. You jump up and down and smile to attract ego and once it's in there you spook the shit out of it into seeing it's absurdity and lack of consciousness helping to jolt one out it's dream of hell. What I love the most about you is you give super advanced wisdom and you also remind us to not depend on you and to transcend the training wheels and take risks of self actualizing.

People are sleep walking through life. thinking they are awake, the eyes are open but the mind is blind. Awakening is realizing that you are dreaming. You awaken from one dream into another, awakening is infinitely self awakening.

This may be subjective, but all I have is my experience so I understand the paradox of speaking generally. I realized that what Leo is doing within the content of his episodes, even the beginning of actualized.org, all your old videos up till your new videos, you play the role as the shocker. I call you the shocker, like when someone is asleep and you jolt them awake. I'm not saying you're forcing people to wake up, but people are asleep. And the reason why I'm attracted to you is because I have awoken, and naturally I tend to look to see who's awake, even though I'm still fairly asleep even after I woken up. When you're talking to us, you're being filtered through the egoic mind, and I recognize that your wisdom is being distorted by ego, and the point of meditation and mindfulness in this work is to shed light on our asleepness. I got a hit on this last night, because I was listening to your episode on why truth is the highest value, and the first 12 minutes scared my ego and I wanted to fall asleep to avoid hearing it. It's like I'm a spiritual masochist and sometimes truth can be overwhelming to the ego. That's all I wanted to say. That you Leo are a shocker and I'm sure many people have felt hurt not by your words but because they have so many defenses and your wisdom can sometimes leak in or bust through those defense doors and when Consciousness shines through a dark cave, the bats and the ghosts and vampires do not like it.

@Leo Gura Understanding is the key that unlocks insights. Understanding is the value of consciousness

@Leo Gura Robert Greene really highlights how humans are irrational creatures, especially the so called rational ones. We are irrational in our rationality. We like to think of ourselves as rational and logical, we are not.

Aye! The friends I made along the way are dead sages and fellow Voyagers.

@Leo Gura I've been listening to Vernon Howard's talks and he cuts through spiritual bullshit like a blade. "The world is like a giant hospital or insane asylum, where people walk around thinking they're doctors and free" his talks are very disillusioning.

All right fine, I'm going to put my protest flags back lol

I do not know! I am genuinely curious and in awe of the fact that I do not know. I am open to being conscious of the nature of this topic

The deepest conversation of God as man of God as man. Self reflection is infinite. Self is paradox.

What is rationality? Really. Is the universe Rational? Is a human Rational? Or is a human a very complex survival organism that uses a slice of infinite intelligence to serve its survival in irrational and rational ways? Are rational people truly rational. Is rationality dangerous? What are the pros and cons of constructing an identity of being a rational person? Also what is beyond rationality? These are delicious questions and I absolutely love this stuff

Great post. Only reason Im attracted to Leo's work is because he constantly and genuinely reminds you that he is not to be worshipped. He wants you to grasp your true nature, not his fingers. The Self is infinite Consciousness. I am reality. I am God. I am truth. Not just ideas or words that Leo says, but actual Truth.
