@Leo Gura this is top notch cringe. Thanks for sharing this channel on your blog. Both of you should do an episode or podcast together talking about fake spirituality

Wow @Leo Gura that video on your blog of of increasing your feminine was amazing. It made me feel really good in my body listening to her explaining this. What is Feminine? It's a great question. Wow, some insights that occurred to me in my mind is that being feminine is about accepting and flowing with Truth. Not just dry truth, but a living Truth. Not this or that, but this and that!!! It's being fully alive within my body, receiving truth, beauty and love. It's a constant flux of changing energy. It's being open and allowing of reality. It's Maya fully naked and fully comfortable with being. It's so fucking hard for me to explain, but it's not logical in a any logical sense

@Leo Gura fake spirituality is trying to possess the Truth! To try and sell Truth through products, merchandise and spiritual language. Also it's twisting Truth. Fake spirituality is also using no self as an escape hatch of some sort. And also it's thinking spirituality is about arriving somewhere or some state. Boom!!!

What about Abraham hicks

Fake spirituality

The difference is profound and deep. Fake spirituality in one sense is beliefs and core hidden assumptions that maintains this selfish drive to survive. Survival is an extremely complex nuance topic that I can't fully explain here now, Leo does an amazing job helping us see what survival is. But fake spirituality is connected with survival. Like using spirituality as an overcoat or garment over this fake person, being a phony. Also it's deeply tied to corruption and all forms of self deception and outright devilry. Also it's thinking and surviving in a way that feeds this ego, accomplishing things for relatively good intentions but it's like trying to fill a voidless void, trying to be virtuous in the name of virtue, it's also equivalent to dog shit. Fake spirituality is construction of illusion, survival and the social matrix. Real spiritually is deprogramming the mind. Real spirituality is Truth.

Leo I have a question. Ken Wilber emphasizes stages of spiritual intelligence or states of consciousness at specific rungs on a developmental ladder in spirituality. Someone can be tribal and magical but does it mean that it's fake spirituality? Like 11:11, 3:33, frequencies like this guy His videos have helped me over the years, he has an amazing personality and I met him at Venice Beach while skateboarding 😁. Just curious. No fluff

True psychonauts know hahah. Controversial guy, what are your takes on him?

@emil1234 that's a gnarly way to put it. Technically speaking you are right. I have been conscious in deep dreamless sleep and it's so hard to explain.

Since a young boy, I always loved Solitary Confinement, like being in a dark place. It doesn't bother me or have the need to be distracted and involved with other people, or distracting myself with technology. Although I do enjoy these things, I find being alone the crust of what I value and desire. When I take psychedelics, nobody is allowed to talk to me, I don't even tell anyone, no music, maybe a deep book before the come up, no outside, only darkness and silence. It is difficult every time, emotions come up and all my psychological underworld opens up. I see why people avoid this shit because it will drive your mind crazy and humble you. When I'm alone, I can think!!!! But also I can self reflect, contemplate and self inquire even before I discovered Leo. Mid you I found Leos first video of his magic mushroom episode while I was tripping and contemplating. I went on YouTube because I was searching to see who else has had a mystical experience or psychedelic breakthrough. And ta,da. Leo pops up and I knew he was the real deal. Thank you for pushing my spirituality further. I already was grinding and doing this work but now it's accelerated because almost every one I come across except for some great masters and books are doing fake spirituality with the costumes of spiritual stuff but I knew there is so much fluff. You have to be ruthless with truth seeking because along the way, there are spiritual traps. If it smells like dog shit, it probably is dog shit. I appreciate you Leo, because it is easy to believe something external can give us Truth, even you. But you constantly remind us that Truth is something you cannot outsource to others.

Play the game and have fun while growing and learning

@Leo Gura Is this fake spirituality? Danm right

I'm sitting down on the floor in my living room, wondering and observing thoughts. I go inside myself and just notice what is, being more conscious of the voice. But I starting feeling something I wanted to share and see how far this opens up. One insight I got was, that problems are of the mind and I am upholding my problems, negative emotions and thoughts. I am actively maintaining problems through thoughts. But what is a thought. There is this contraction. A contraction of the face and body. I feel that I am holding or pulling myself together. I feel uptight. But what is the ego? Then what is that? Okay 👍🏽 but what is that? Join minds. Let's stretch this dialogue, like opening a door for the next person that has a set of keys to open the second door for the next person. I am a thought. A thought that maintains itself through a frequency of thoughts.

YoungHoon Kim holds the record for the world's highest recorded IQ at 276. Why does he say Jesus is God? What's the relationship between his IQ and his spiritual beliefs or experiences?

@Inliytened1 Amen to that.

@Leo Gura I swear. I despise "enlightened" people dismissive of psychedelics. Like that one fool on YouTube that was dissing your psychedelic use, I don't even bother to listen to them. Some moron will say psychedelics are just chemicals in the brain and they only change your state temporarily, but ordinary State of consciousness is just neurotransmitters and chemicals as well. You're always in a state whether it's induced or not.

@Inliytened1 I resonate with this response.

@Inliytened1 I just wouldn't have the patience if I were a mod

@Inliytened1 I see. Your a good guy for sure

@Leo Gura the third eye techniques ramana maharashi is known for in the book of secrets is pretty frightening, you can experience sleep paralysis and weird paranormal phenomenon. It caught me off guard.

Basically Disneyland in a nutshell. I walk around looking at all the rides, characters, theme and food, people talking and laughing having a good time. But it's all smoke and mirrors. The whole thing is an illusion. I walk around and observe everyone sucked into the illusion but they don't even know it's an illusion they're just having a good time. Don't get me wrong the rides and everything there is still enjoyable but I see it for what it is and I am not impressed

I thought Leo smashed you lol your still twitching

@Leo Gura Hey I'm Just saying hahaha

@Leo Gura are you going to put it? That's for sure a cold book if you do. Leo, when will you add an audio review for each book? Iknow your handling so much, would really love that. Your passion and articulation is very infectious and inspires me

@Leo Gura I just realized how profound your Instagram quote is. Where you mentioned that the greatest piece of advice you can give someone is to not fuck their AI. It makes so much sense to me right now because I was contemplating how AI can really be supportive and reflect back someone's mood, emotions and issues they're dealing with that they may not feel that there's other people that can understand them in a way that AI can make them feel. And then it might even escalate to sharing sexual urges and things of that nature and wanting to have sex with AI or something like that because someone can feel that the AI is non-judgmental and that they can be open sexually unlike with most people who judge and criticize all the time. What do you think about this?
