Groupthink is the engine behind cultish behaviour. And that’s okay because you can’t stop thinking. There’s no escape, because even when you think you’ve escaped you’re still tricked by the very thought that you’ve escaped, and there’s nowhere to escape to or from.

It’s a mistake to believe the images upon the screen of consciousness are reality. You are already dead. Nothing to fear, nothing to surrender to.

The whole point of the matrix is to remain in the matrix, not to lose yourself and be free of the matrix. The matrix is all you can ever know. So there can’t be any endgame for game-over mentality.

That which can be looked upon is a reflection which knows and feels nothing. Nothing is knowing, and nothing is feeling. There’s just knowing and feeling one without a second. Fragmentation is illusory.

Yes, spot on. No one ever takes the wheel of a dream bus.

It’s only pedantry when you try to communicate with illusory others. Obviously.

BS

There’s only one of you, not two of you. You cannot know yourself without splitting in two, into knower and known. Don’t try to understand what someone else is saying, just know yourself. We are here to understand ourself not be understood by other. Never mind.

The most smartest most intelligent people are depressed and are okay with their depression. They are totally at peace with their depression, in a constant state of surrender. The depressed person is able to see through the illusion of separation, which can seem like total isolation, while also feeling the isolation that comes with the seeing through the illusory separation, but being forced to live this separation. It’s a double edged sword, but endurable, because it is seen that there’s nothing to lose or gain by this seeing.

That which appears to transcend, never transcends. “What you know can never be the beyond. Whatever you experience is not the beyond. If there is any beyond, this movement of 'you' is absent. The absence of this movement probably is the beyond, but the beyond can never be experienced by you; it is when the 'you' is not there. Why are you trying to experience a thing that cannot be experienced?” UGK

Death of attachment is when you’re no longer identified with roles and labels and conventional definition of person. You don’t belong to a person. A person doesn’t belong to You.

Every claimed knower is a charlatan. If you say you know, you don’t.

Well yeah, you may want to call it the absolute and that would be what everything is, but this absolute everything cannot know it’s absolute because it is absolute. How would the absolute know itself? it would have to split in two into knower and known. Anything known would only be relative to the absolute and relative ideas about the absolute are absurd. The known know nothing. How can something relative know anything about the absolute, when the relative is identical to the absolute that cannot know its absolute. Knowledge can only point to the illusory nature of reality. All that I know is that I know nothing. That KNOWN remains a mystery, always, eternal.

Birth of body is appearance, death of body is disappearance , and so it seems that that which can appear can disappear, and vice versa. Disappearance and Appearance seem to differ, but neither can exist without the other. How or from where or why appearances and disappearances arise and fall is one of the most unanswerable mysteries that cannot be solved. That mystery is where human comprehension breaks down completely because the mystery is even a mystery to itself. .it’s like human comprehension hits an impasse or horizon that can never be crossed. But this is just my personal insight, it doesn’t mean that it’s true for others, it’s just true for me, the way I personally vision it as I imagine it. IT being this, and this being nothing other than this, because this is it. This is all there is that can be known.

“Stubborn as a mule” ~ Leo Gura Greatest quote i evva hoid..lol A man outstanding in his field just like a c0w we shall not be moved. Who put the zero in c0w. From inside a c0w it’s hard to get a handle on what’s really going on. Lol

Listen only to the sound of silence. These words are just sound heard as words. The sound of silence. No self is ever making this about a ‘your’ self or a ‘my’ self. Self is Selfless. Nothing is making self happen and nothing is stopping self happen.

By saying all that I know is that I know nothing is exactly the same as saying the finite is identical to the Infinite. Nuff said, no need to justify, apologise, or explain yourself to anyone, not even yourself. This is blindly self-evident. Nothing more to add, or say, or do, really. R.I.P

That’s a great point. The way I interpret Leo’s teachings is that all he seems to be doing with his generous free forum is advocating for each and everyone of us to be our own ( School - Teacher - Student ) just as he’s doing, but not do exactly as he’s doing or saying literally, but by adopting your own version, naturally, as only you understand it to be. I don’t believe for one minute Leo himself believes he’s the only one on the entire planet who holds every single piece of the bigger jigsaw picture puzzle. Rather he already must know we each and every one of us are holding our own individual pieces of the same bigger picture and are here solely to try and piece all those pieces together, collectively.

Also when you deeply think about where beliefs actually come from. Including all our bits of knowledge we’ve accumulated and archived away for future reference, o when the demand for such is required. You’ll discover that all our bits of knowledge and beliefs come from the exact same place. So there’s actually no one who has got a more superior monopoly over knowledge. There’s simply no author of this universe, except as an imaginary character. Fiction then is very much a fact.

AI says…Psychology and sociology heavily support the idea that most humans are shaped by cultural conditioning. From birth, we internalize beliefs, values, and behaviors through repetition and social rewards or punishments. This process seamlessly aligns with our innate evolutionary drive to belong to a group. ———- My personal opinion on this matter is …. Cult is just a shortened version of Culture, which in general is just human programmed conditioned shared beliefs from birth. . . But I see no evidence that the subject topics discussed here on Leo’s forum is of a cult mentality. Quite the opposite is true in fact. It’s more to do with deconstructing belief systems, not artificially creating them via manipulation and control. That’s not what I see happening here. No one participating here or following is ever forced or obligated to believe anything that’s being said or written here. The topics here at actualised.org is more about doing away with All BELIEF systems, rather than just blindly believing anything you read or hear as gospel truth, it’s about making your own mind up, and not having your mind made up by someone else.

Gods got this. Not you.

Yes, because the self never tells itself it’s a self. Self exists as a concept known, and that which is known knows nothing, it’s like illusion knowing it’s an illusion.

For the human being, the only true certainty is that it is conscious. Everything else is linguistics. Perhaps all the other life forms of varying species have their own secret language code. Who knows but the one who knows itself?

Nice!👌 The body and all physical objects exist in reality. But “self” is not the body. It is not an object; it does not exist in reality. There is no “self” separate from what’s happening, no little broken-off piece of life that is a special “me” that you own and can direct and control, separate from the whole. Drop the clinging to a control you never had.

Nice! 👌
