ExploringReality

@Leo Gura!!!!! Minutes ago before checking the forum and seeing this post, I had a visceral insight and vision of God as an infinite eyeball that wants to look at itself. This experience was so intense probably because I was laying down in the sun after a hard skateboarding session and the sun was in my face, I was thinking about God and your previous episode and then, it suddenly shined on me, this sentient infinite eyeball of God. Also your background effect on your video is pitch black 🖤 there is an existential depth to your style. Like taking us on a orientation and presentation around the universe.

@Asia P I see where your coming from. Reaching high peak states of consciousness are expansive, but consciousness also contracts. Try to see more of the miraculousness of life around you, life is very beautiful. High consciousness is beautiful and our limited experiences as a human is beautiful within our mundane perceptions. God doesn't want to be unlimited, God wants to be limited, because to truly be unlimited you have to accept and embrace all limitations and Finite forms. Spirituality is forming a deep connection with reality, which is where love comes in, love is the embrace of everything as it is and doesn't want to change it. I'm sure you will have more breakthroughs and epiphanies along the way so don't worry to much, and the bright side is that you can take this time to integrate your insights down in your everyday life.

I got a direct hit on this. Consciousness is infinite. Any form can be looked at, and Infinity can be grasped in a single form. It feels like burning yourself once you grasp a bit of it because its so shocking yet so obvious once you realize it. This body is infinite. This body is the body of God. Now I see more the significance of re-contexualixation. A radical shift in consciousness is the ultimate ahh-haaaa moment.

@Princess Arabia You can never out crazy crazy lol

Realizing God is realizing yourself, what you actually are, but have forgotten to purposefully forget yourself and get lost in dreams, then to set out on adventures and journeys away from oneself back towards oneself. But ultimately God is all inclusive which includes relative exclusivity. Just because you realize God doesn't neglect anything else like Understanding, philosophy and Truth. This is a major trap of non-duality. It's a kind of spiritual dysfunction when once you reach a peak experience or a mystical experience or you have a really high state of consciousness, the ego once it reforms will want to either cling to the transcendent or neglect the Imminent and the relative.

@Leo Gura!!! I've just been rick rolled!! Hahaha

This is a very powerful episode.

Listen to Robert Greene book the 48 laws of power to shield yourself from power and stage red. Listen to Leo's episode strictly on stage red of Spiral Dynamics. You got this!!! Stay Safe 🙏🏽

@Leo Gura Kriya yoga sessions and shamanic breathing sessions are super powerful. Zazen meditation is great, but when you bring your whole body in, it really supercharges a classic sitting meditation.

@integral That's a sobering realization. Every stage has something to contribute in different context and depending on ones state and stage of development. We all start somewhere in life, but being a victim doesn't solve anything. Like starting out in resident evil game haha you gotta work and build your arsenal and abilities.

@Jannes Wow! Good to hear.

@Leo Gura That's an interesting way to put it, I very much agree. It's not like it's only you Joe and actualized.org audience listening, but also the schmucks that will use your words to twist whatever narrative their egos survival agenda will need to justify their actions and bullshit. It is very dangerous actually, were already seeing it with neo Nazis using Hancock's theory. Are they're other podcasts or Internet intellectuals that you are open to having a conversation on the horizon?

@Leo Gura So true!! 🤣

You guys calm down. This is a personal development forum, a space not just for ourselves but others as well. If we have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Apologize if we can step outside of our self reactivity. We are better than this, it's okay to get heated but let's chill out and allow people to be here even if what someone says we disagree with and think it's baloney.

Nate and Nick Diaz, Terence McKenna, my Dad one last time, Sri Nissargadahta, Ramana Maharishi, Caleb Plant, Bashar, Leo, Alan Watts, Ramaji, Mirko Cro Cop, Devin Haney, Shakur Stevenson, Gay Hendricks, Peter Ralston, Martin Luther King Jr, Ram Dass, Thomas Kuhn, Marcus Aurelius,Plotinus and finally Heraclitis. A long 6 month conversation with each one individually split up through the week, picking their brains and going super deep. At a park, home or at esalen institute.

@Princess Arabia What are your Metaphysical and epistemic assumptions on your position?

@Princess Arabia The mind loves to bullshit itself once it has reached a degree of Awakening, it will come up with all sorts of rationalizations and excuse making for not doing the practices and staying disciplined. Once the ego mind gets a little hit on no self or nothingness, it tends to form a spiritual identity and to stop at a certain point of its understanding of reality. No self is good but it's only the tip of an iceberg

@Leo Gura Oh God. Only method left is through the dick hole 😂

@Leo Gura That's what I'm talking about!!! Sucks it's called a crack pipe, when fools use the right means in the wrong way, the right means are corrupted and tabooed with a sketchy vibe. Have you smoked 5meo through a glass pipe?

The Good the True and The Beautiful!

No meditation is not bs. The mind will do anything to justify it's avoidance mechanism and to distract itself from meditating.

Open-minded to what degree? Radical open-mindedness or just a short term consideration of alternative thoughts and perspectives? It depends on which model lens's your looking through and which models you use to evaluate someone. Plus any one model doesn't conflate and pigeon hole someone entirely, one can have a center of gravity as to where they are but it can be a mish mash depending on a variety of factors as to when a video of Leo's is introduced to them. It depends what the person's priorities and values are in green or yellow. I have a lot of stage red in me, but I also have tapped into higher stages and states of consciousness, so that really brought me up to wanting to explore radically new realities and domains of development. When I first found Leo I immediately got turned on by his epistemic and metaphysical catalog.

@Yimpa Very good!

Just shut up and sit in darkness on five dried grams. Then talk Awakening lol
