  1. @Leo Gura this Elliott guy is a complete idiot when it comes to consciousness. His entire epistemology of psychedelics is so fucked up, he is unaware of his own corrupted thinking and speaking. He is trivializing the significance of psychedelics, he is conflating his experience with dmt with his own bias and bravodo personality. He assumes psychedelics are worthless. It reminds of a Terence McKenna quote, "psychedelics are called Consciousness expanding drugs but if you don't have any Consciousness you can't expand it" lol

  3. @Leo Gura Leo thank you for being such a helping hand. I've been active on this forum for a little less than a year or so, but I noticed how forum users have been here longer and then a moment comes where they blow up before leaving. Like a case of forum users gone wild haha. This work is very difficult and challenging, people want to avoid suffering and take short cuts. Not just with spiritual work and epistemology but also everything else in life.
  4. This guy recently got charged for rape and was found guilty. He is an outstanding fighter, that is where he belongs, not politics.
  5. @Princess Arabia Existence is primary. The meanings that we assign to the terms existence absolute and Truth are relative. If it's redundant to say absolute truth then why do you prefer absolute? It's absolute truth because the truth is absolute. I can see how you're confused by these terms. Basically Truth is rock bottom because everything that you're referring to as appearances appearing as itself is Absolute Truth because it is the case, it's happening, not to someone of course we get that. I totally understand what you mean by truth and falsehood but those are only in the relative domain is what you're not understanding. Appearances are nice but there's more to reality and Consciousness and understanding Truth.
  6. @Princess Arabia Your creating the distinction between Absolute and Truth. Truth is what is the case, whatever is, is Truth, but also may not be relatively true. There is no distinction between Absolute and Truth but there is a distinction between Absolute Truth and relative truth and falsehood. Absolute is Truth. You've made a division between Absolute and Truth. It's the Absolute Truth.
  7. @Princess Arabia What is "whatever Appears"? Reality has to exist by definition because existence is reality. Although these words can be used interchangeably it's really the same thing. Why do you say there is no ultimate context of existence but you say the ultimate context is existence? "Experiences are not appearances" is what you said and you also said that appearances are all that there is. Experience is Absolute Truth!!! But it has been mistaken for a Field of perceptions happening to a biological organism. Truth is what Is. Isness is Absolute Truth. The Absolute Truth is Existence.
  8. @Princess Arabia Are you open to the possibility of having a direct Consciousness of "something" outside or beyond appearances? That appearances are illusory, but remember the Absolute Truth is that which is the case! So whatever is appearing in the moment must be the case because it is happening. It may not be relatively true but it is absolute truth that it is. Absolute truth must always be the case because if you were to say that there is no Truth, then that is the case. Then that's what's true because truth is not limited or bounded by any relative notion of truth or false.
  9. @Princess Arabia What is an appearance though? Like what is the appearance and perception of reality? What is the ultimate context of existence? And how can one be certain to know the Truth of Reality? Because by definition, our experience of reality is filtered through a very narrow bandwidth of the entire electromagnetic field, our sense apparatus for perceiving reality, our physiology and our psychology play a huge role in our construction of reality and meaning. Ok, experience is appearances, and appearances are Nothing, then what is Nothing? What is Isness itself? What is it?
  10. @Leo Gura the morphing faces, you can see the fluidity of consciousness when on LSD, especially while observing your reflection in a mirror 🪞 Mind unfolds on itself. But what is consciousness? i want to go as deep as possible.
  11. @Princess Arabia What is appearances? What is nothing? What is knowledge? What is energy? How are they related? Are they truth or are they pointers towards that which is? What if our beliefs and definitions of these terms are relative to our interpretation of these terms and what they come to mean for us. Is it possible to go beyond appearances to Absolute Truth? To say that all is appearance seems obvious, but what is the substance of appearance? If ts nothing, then what is nothing? Nothingness is like a womb of pure potentiality and actuality. Nothing is not our ideas of nothing. Anything the mind says that it is, it isn't. But what is this? These are great questions that are serious and profound.
  12. Leo, and you said I have a twisted mind 😆 This man could have started a multibillion Dollar business with that kind of mindset and connivingness. People are plotting on your ass Leo, stay vigilant in the jungle of self deception and devilry.
  13. @Breathe Why am I laughing so hard 🤣
  14. @Leo Gura @Leo Gura Ohhhh!!!!! Truth is Existence. Everything is Truth! Truth is simply that which Is!!!! But what is Isness? What is Existence? What is Reality? It can't be explained, because Truth is all there is. It's like trying to get somewhere where you already are and the only way to get here is by being here by realizing that I am it. Can I say that consciousness is the Mind of Truth and that love is Truth Being itself and having sex with itself. There are levels of Truth realization. It's infinite
  15. @Leo Gura Why is it called Truth? How does recontexualization relate with how I view my current sense of existence and the way I'm interpreting experience? This entire field of awareness is Truth? My sense of existing is Truth Being? Truth is trying to grasp Truth? What is Truth? My perceptions are actually Truth? Illusion is Truth? Truth is God? I love the relationship between recontexualization and interpretation and how depending on your interpretation you either see it or don't.
  16. "Meaninglessness has no meaning, therefore you can still create! God doesn't create because it matters or has meaning, God creates because it doesn't matter, God creates for the joy of creation ". Leo said this which may help. Watch his video below
  17. Happiness is conditional. But there is the possibility of Absolute Happiness or Absolute Tranquility of Mind. Like the eye of the storm, unperturbed and still within motion. Yes your happiness is conditional and different people need different things to be happy relatively speaking. Suffering is inevitable so we are driven to minimize suffering and pain, to pursue pleasure, satisfaction and ease temporarily until we drop dead. Depending on your state of consciousness, the idea of time is relative. Being happy all the time can be recontexualized as in no matter what happens to me or around me, happiness is not dependent on circumstances. It's an advanced way of living because you have to strip away the ego and it's hold on reality. Circumstances don't matter, only my state of being matters, then you choose the state of being you prefer to be in. Just stay open minded and be skeptical of the meanings you are assigning to words and try to see it differently because they're may be more to what you see. As for nihilism, you can choose to see reality and the universe as being insignificantly small and trivial, or as magnificent and beautiful. Because reality as it's occurring is so magical and mysterious that it's infinite. Those stars you see are only a fraction of what is there and then you look at yourself and it zooms in forever in everyway. The universe is infinite and you are infinite because you are the universe experiencing itself as a particular point within yourself. You are amazing. You are it. It is you.
  18. @Emerald When you can't go without, you go within.
  19. They're using it for confirmation bias.
  20. @Leo Gura It's just lingo, it basically means his dad really likes your music playlist. When someone says they fuck with something or someone it refers usually to them vibing or liking it. It's implicit.
  21. @Leo Gura I definitely projected onto something that was not the case. I apologize for being wrong. I asked you to avoid assuming that my projections are correct. Thank you. Maybe I do have a twisted mind and it may be what's causing a lot of my frustrations, interruptions in heated conflict. Thank you for reflecting back to me an aspect of myself that may be unnoticed and uncomfortable to face within myself Leo You telling me that I have a twisted mind really opens up a lot about why I behave the way I do. It's hard to see myself, and I really appreciate anyone that can point something out in me, even if it hurts. It only hurts my identity, I'm not who I say I am and I project and twist and distort reality with my corrupted thinking. I will be better and mindful of my thoughts. My apologies to the forum user that I mentioned. God bless you 🙏🏽 What can I do to help me not have a twisted mind? If someone does something, in my mind I immediately draw multiple scenarios and conclusions in my head, but I also understand the principles of not assuming anything or taking my assumptions for granted but yet if someone does something I tend to conclude multiple possibilities and I can feel reactive and see through those twisted lens. Is there something you can say that will help me Leo? Even if you don't have enough information of me, just by what I'm expressing.
  22. @Ulax I am asking questions as to the motivation. Not concluding or assuming. I'm curious as to the connection and it's easy for the mind to be flippant or dismissive.
  23. @Leo Gura when clawing up your way in God's asshole, be cautious of God's farts and poop
  24. @Leo Gura You're blog post on Daniel Ingram, you emphasized and mentioned a user on the forum for your blog post. I'm asking because this user created a thread on mod abuse. You know what I mean Leo lol. Im wondering because a mod barely locked it and seems like you mentioned the crocodile in your blog post to blow smoke up her ass before having that thread locked. Don't act dumb either haha
