Since you mentioned Mooji, and I was reading this exact thing from Moojis book on my way home from work, I'll share it with you. I think it will be of value.

By saying these words, you are creating the sense that there is something to get in time that others are missing for this realisation. Who's delusions were they. You had an experience of no self I presume, and now you are strapping the memory of an experience to the thing the experience made you realise was untrue. Why are you doing that to yourself?

Got you, I was joking around

So I lasted for 2.5 hours and then it dissolved? :D :D

Watch this for the most direct way - then maybe go to Mooji if you want.

Ok, let me try again. Mind has no reality in the present moment. Only you have reality in the present moment. Mind has reality in time. The only reality is Now. Mind can never enter the now. You are always now. Enlightenment does not mean losing the ability to think. It's closer to knowing experientialy that you are not the one doing anything. Life happens by itself. Ego is a self contained lie that can only be destroyed by the power of the present moment, because the present moment is the only truth. Thought has duration, you don't.

you can't do being, because you are being. But as long as you give yourself, awareness, to the identification with mind, it is going to survive and thrive. Anyway we are playing a game of words. Pointers, it's not a mathematical equation for your mind to think about, this is the entire thing and why it is so elusive.

When you do stuff, you create conditioning, the mind gets shaped. Spiritual practice is the conditioning your mind needs in order to defeat the egoic part of your mind, allowing the recognition that you are home and always have been, but you've been living in a dark room inside it The dark room is called identification with form, it's less than 1% of your entire house. The most elusive thought, because it is super ancient in origin, is the I thought, cut it through awareness and the whole egoic tree with wither and die!! Leaving only you, leaving only truth.

And brutal honesty with your present moment experience - holding the experiencer, the subject and not attaching to the forms - forms include sensations, thoughts, emotions etc. Anything in the realm of the changeful. As long as your attention is on any object, the false I is there. "Oh I am experiencing bliss, I must be enlightened etc etc" The mind will say "just being" as if it's something it can do. No, the truth is you always are that. There can be 10000 waves in your awareness that are always doing doing doing, but you are not any of them. If you isolate your current sense of subject, of self, it will slowly start to dissolve and open up the space for truth to shine through.

The mind will drop the belief, the I thought that is entangled with all other egoic ones. But only when you are not allowing it to prance around as if it were who you are. The following self observation should help: You know you are not creating your thoughts, you are aware of them "popping up". Who did them? Was it you? If you say yes, that means that you are claiming you are unconscious, because you were not consciously creating those thoughts, just like I am not creating mine right now. They just happen based on my mind's conditioning. But in fact, you know that you are always aware, always conscious now, this is who you are. Hold the sense of I amness, of awareness, and try not to attach to any forms that pop up in your awareness. It is a kind of a non-doing - that's why they call it being. This very detachment is starving the ego! It's brilliant.

Those questions are all good questions, but this is the problem with the Ego, it will always dig up more questions and claim - I won't be happy until I find out.. The answer to all questions is the dropping of the belief that the one who is asking the questions is in any way who you are.

- Why didn't you pass me the ball??? I was gonna score for sure! - I am not that which passes. #Enlightened #FootballPlayer

Can anyone explain why people claim it's the simplest and easiest truth if they had to take a drug to get there? And if it didn't stick?

WOW, Leo liked the idea so much he went in the past and did it! Amazing Anyway thanks for this, I hadn't noticed, too many vids!!

It seems like procrastination and bad habbits easily can become a thing for the spiritual, because of the following truths: There is no free will and you are not the body/mind. The mind can twist these thoughts in order to travel the easy road and I am led to believe the easy road is not the one that will reap the most spiritual benefit. Could you do a video on this, I am sure you will improve and even save a couple lives. @Leo Gura

Hey Leo, this is Dodo for Actualized.org Forum, and in today's video suggestion...! It would be awesome if you made a short video to schedule a group meditation session for as many beings as possible who follow your videos. When I made a thread about a group meditation here on the forum it went rather well and people seemed to enjoy it a lot! It would be 10000x better, however, if you would schedule something like that, because it'd be more public and more eyes will see, obviously, more beings will join. I bet the actualized community will not want to miss a meditation session with the man himself! Extra idea: Including a live stream

I was contemplating that, how can there be growth and change outside of time? The first rule of the timeless is no-change - for if there is change, that in itself means time. Maybe the timeless and changeless loves this illusory game just as much as some of us love playing pc games - that doesnt mean that the individuals in the pc game have to love it

Let me sound wise, allow it guys pls my ego needs Enlightenment has no purpose, it is the only reality!

It says Must see! So we must!!! I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Have you read any Charlie Morley? He opened me up to lucid dreaming long ago with one of his books and I've been meaning to (unsuccessfully) return to the practise. I learned from his book many different ways to reach lucid dreaming and after just a week practise I managed to get in. Then I just stopped after a couple, but I wish to return as I said earlier. Also from Charlie's book I've learnt that if you are able to in a dream sit down and meditate, it will be like many many times stronger than meditation in waking state. Btw, maybe forgot to mention, his book is exactly about what you ask Spirituality and Lucid dreaming! The two are connected, simply because it seems to me to be beneficial to be able to experience another state of consciousness and contemplate on who you truly are. So anyway, I haven't been able to sit down and meditate in a lucid dream yet, because I always gosh darnit, always begin to fly!! (Well not always, in one of them I decided to smoke a bong and see what happens - surprise surprise, I lost lucidity) I did meditate once in a normal dream though, on top of a tree, was kinda epic So yeah, combine!!!! Combine for sure. When your lucid dreams become better and clearer, it will be like an extension to your day, you will have more opportunity to practise than unconscious sleepers. PS: Once I had a lucid dream in which the content was entirely a tablet screen with a words written on it, a book. I realised it was a dream because I was trying to read and every time I moved my eyes, the text changed and also the text was unintelligible, it was super weird and awesome!! I was just this eye movement only, observing the text from left to right and right to left knowing I was in a lucid dream but only having the function of watching the text

no (except the sound of silence)

I like to think that dropping beliefs one by oone is not the way. Its too slow and as you said, new ones grow in there place. To get rid of false beliefs, we need to only look at one false belief, the root of all others. People in the past have already discovered this for us and we are receiving the highest teachings on a silver platter. The only belief worth investigating really is the belief that you are * The I thought. It's like the literal root of all the rest and when you drop that one, all others will be cut of from their food source and die too! Good luck on your journey. I would suggest Ramana Maharshi's self enquiry, as he has stated to be the quickest and most direct path to this realisation

Hey, so if being pure consciousness is better than being a body-mind form, why is there the illusion of body-mind? Why does consciousness create this sick game if it is pure love? Most humans, we are super identified with being human, even if we claim otherwise by having intellectual understanding or even experience... How come one can be empty consciousness and why would it be better to be that?? Oh damn my mind wants to understand the un-understandable again... Please give me some helpful video or your own thoughts... PS: How does anyone know that consciousness can exist without a medium through which to function (without something to be conscious of)? So maybe we can't have pure pure consciousness without any illusion of form...?

Think the ultimate truth of all religions is the same....... If it is of the mind, it can't be ultimate, because mind is changeful, the ultimate truth HAS to be non-conceptual, it HAS to be the ultimate, no matter what anyone thinks or believes, it HAS to be the truth like always without a doubt even if nobody knows it. We have to see what can that "thing" be that cannot be challenged and is always and true for everyone, absolutely everyone and anything. The ultimate truth, no less

But if they truly know from their own experience that there is only one, like for a fact, beyond doubt/belief, that means the ultimate, does it not? There is a difference between personal belief and realising the ultimate truth through your own experience. I think the statement : "Everyone has their own truth" is a childish statement designed to not hurt a single ego/mind in attempt for everyone to be happy with their understanding of reality... But I think egos should be shattered, even mine right now, fucking shatter me
