So go away with your dogma.

nah, look at the yogi's they become like children. There's no rules

@Dodo I am just "being" I "be" all the time. It gets boring. Then I come here. You're right though. If we were at, for example, a Buddhist retreat, would we feel compelled to even speak? On a forum like this, we have to discuss things, otherwise there would be no forum. "Those who speak do not know. Those who know do not speak" - who said that?

Love is more basic than that. I would posit that Love is Love, it has no synonyms. You run into problems when you complicate and intellectualise something as basic as Love

I would posit that mental illness does not exist. Mental illness is based on the idea that there is an outside world which everyone can agree on, when in fact everything is subjective.

Explain in short summary how Love and Truth are synonymous.

@Salvijus I am above Leo in terms of anything spiritual. *waits for cat meme

Plus love isn't a "value", it is an energy, when you construe Love as a value, it becomes some kind of mechanical, unnatural call to action. I went to church today. People in church do not love naturally, they do it out of some obligation

@Salvijus There should be no "should's" else your leading us into dogma.

Love isn't an identity. I was speaking more in terms of personality and core values. Like, the fact that there is no real "me", means I can explore completely different identities with different personalities and values, meaning I can be a soft, gentle, spiritual person one day, and the next I can change into a serial killer. This could be construed as dissociative identity disorder, but that flies out the window when awareness is brought into the equation.

Hello again. Although I appreciate everything Leo has taught me, his teachings eventually left me empty inside. I have truly found God through Christ, and I believe that is the only way. When you feel the Holy Spirit, you know the truth...no intellectualising or philosophising about God can bring the peace and joy that you are looking for. Since my conversion on Thursday, which didn't happen at a church, (it happened in my living room) I have been feeling a great deal more joy and peace which comes from a place that is not of this earth. Hallelujah! Any Christians here that would like to share worship songs with me?

My friend Mark sent me this text: "Whoever loses his life for my sake, the same shall find it" - Jesus Christ It resonated perfectly with me, and I put on some Christian music and started feeling the Holy Spirit.

I've learned TONS from you Leo. I've watched your solipsism video numerous times recently. I even had an awakening where I realised no-self, and it was incredible, I was laughing like crazy. Since then I have spent hours and hours meditating and finding emptiness and ONLY emptiness. Jesus has filled that emptiness for me. Maybe this is something you simply don't understand, because it involves experiences you are not familiar with. Maybe Jesus is a fantasy to you. But please don't be so ignorant and arrogant to discount my experience as if you know what MY experience is. Because we all have different experiences. Why is your mind not open to the possibility that the story in the Bible could be true, and that all these Christians may be onto something. Something beyond even what you have experienced. I assume you don't pray?

Actually Jesus said "No one comes to the Father except through me"

Hahaha, doesn't that just prove the power of Jesus? 🙂

I looked up ggwp. Thankyou 😀

I pray that all of you find exactly what you are looking for, and that many blessings appear in your lives. God bless!

@Something Funny I am happy with what you are saying because it is confirming what Jesus said - that his followers will be persecuted for proclaiming their allegiance to Him.

All of you naysayers can continue to mock me and spout your own opinions. My faith cannot and will not be dampened. Some people are such know-it-alls that they have closed their mind to other possibilities. For your information, I've studied epistemology and all kinds of philosophical ideas, But they left me empty and apathetic. Can you open your mind to the possibility that someone may have had a religious experience which you have no context on which to judge, because you've not explored what they have. As for Leo, how come no one is calling him out for being immature? Above us all in terms of consciousness, yet not above trying to make a fool of someone by posting a silly cat meme? 🤔

@Salvijus It's OK. I am so confident in my faith that I don't even need to argue. These people who have turned God into an intellectual debate miss the point entirely 😁

Leo likes belittling people. It makes him feel alpha 🤣 Then, when he's feeling really confident, he can go and creep women out in nightclubs 🤣

I agree. So self-effacing for Leo to post a selfie.

@Ramasta9 That doesn't sound like Jesus. He wants us to believe in something greater.

Leo, you mock, But what are you? Just some guy on the Internet who takes drugs to have spiritual experiences. Jesus died for us.

@Someone here I pray that you find joy and peace and understanding brother. God bless.
