it shows Thank you, Leo.

Yes and No. Yes, I can handle it. Naturally. No, there is no "swallowing". It's meeting and matching the flowing-of-love which is simultaneously being restrained. Flow-ing and Be-ing. Present-progressive. I think these subtle choices when discussing anything relating to the divine are extremely helpful. Anything divine is an ongoing event, eternal. That's why I prefer to adopt and accept awkward phrasing, at times, in favor of a present-progressive conjugation.

Which is "transcending-transcendence". An ascension lacking any descent would be incomplete.

Are you sure they said: "never"?

... may those who are afflicted find peace, speedily and soon.

It's a very old pop-culture reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Your_Brain_on_Drugs

I watched it

"This is your brain on non-duality. Any questions?"

Another question, if you're feeling generous: Within your own frame of experience, ignoring theory, is there any thought that occurs without an emotive trigger? Or, to put it another way, is thinking the master? Or, is it the heart which is pulling the strings, hiding in plain sight, which produces the impetus which further blossoms into conscious chains of thought?

? curiosity inclining towards awe ? IOW ? curiosity inclining away from wonder ? His-Her majesty's name is "loft"? or "ascension"? ... in its purest, loftiest, least differentiated form?

Following, and thank you. For Americans it's easy to make broad assumptions about the disposition of the Israeli constituents. This will help.

Before there was Actualized.org, there was Caddyshack. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Do you do drugs, Danny?" "Yes. Everyday." "Excellent. So, what's wrong?" "I don't know. ... I'm supposed to go to college." "Just be the ball, Danny. That's all you have to do. Be the ball." ---------------------------------------------------------------------

The video begins with a distinction between little 'm' "meaningless" and big M "Meaningless. Leo says, the confusion regarding the concept is resolved when little 'm' "meaningless" is reconsidered as big M "Meaningless". Then, as he elaborates, if you pay close attention, he doesn't say "Reality is meaningless". He says, paraphrasing, when you realize that Allllllllll of it ( looking all around with his eyes with a big grin ) is big 'M' "Meaningless" ... Then the words slowly stop, and you can tell, Leo is enjoying this. The Allllllllllll of it, that Leo was referring to is the panoramic multi-dimensional sensory experience which is rendered like a "play" on a "stage" within his mind's eye. When you realize it, if you haven't already, it tickles a little to defocus and refocus such that the cognition of rendering within the mind's eye is noticed. And that's the real point of it. He's contrasting this sort of pleasant realizing with an unpleasant inherently incomplete conception of "Meaningless-ness". If this is still a struggle conceptually. Give it time. Take Leo's advice. Try to distinguish between two types of nihilism. One type is necessarily self-defeating. it cannot be nihilistic and simultaneously pejorative. Those two are mutually exclusive. Then, from there, try to complete the notion of meaningless-ness which blossoms from recognition of the illusory nature of human sensory feedback apparatus.

Lacking a specific quote, I'm guessing he's referring to "maya", which is all inclusive with regard to sensory feedback. True. My best guess is: what was referred to as "meaningless" is actually abbreviated in common parlance. More rigorously and completely described: It's "meaningless with one and only one exception." That one exception is knowing oneself. It's omitted because it's a mouthful to repeat and the audience is assumed, rightly, to be in the process of self-discovery. So, it, the one and only one exception, knowing oneself, gets left out as a matter of convenience.
