Shaun

I don't think you should stop teaching as there are other perspectives or people who observe your teachings. You gave these two options 1) You don't really exist. You are just a figment of my imagination. The entire world is just for me. In other words, total solipsism. This is the teaching which drives people to commit suicide and helps nobody. It's totally pointless and makes people even more isolated and disconnected from each other. The strangest thing of all is how so few people point this out and appear to really enjoy the videos where you say these things. 2) God subdivided itself into separate dimensions, one of which is mine and one of which is yours. Of course since both of us are God, both of us are being both dimensions at once. So I and you are literally one consciousness but experiencing different forms. This one, although pretty unsettling, makes much more sense. God has done a pretty shit job and isn't really all that powerful if all it can do is become Shaun and live as Shaun.

My ridiculously random and somewhat unsettling dreams have not stopped yet, but I have managed to mostly detach from them. I am vegetarian and the meat industry upsets me Last night I dreamt of rowdy youths cooking loads of bacon and other meats on an enormous barbecue in the middle of the road. This barbecue stretched for much of the length of the street. All of them were laughing at me as I just watched. I don't like my job and often complain about having no love life Another dream featured me riding a motorbike through the warehouse where I work with a woman on the back of it and I have no idea who she was. Much of the warehouse was all jumbled up and nothing like it is in waking life. The scene immediately switched to me hugging her outside the warehouse and it was such a beautiful feeling. I like exploring abandoned places and some of them include mines. I often have these pretty unsettling dreams where I am inside this building with open vertical mineshafts that were a few MILES deep as another dream character informed me. We chucked stuff down them and terrifying noises came out. Another dream related to this featured another really deep hole in the middle of a field, which was an irrigation well. I saw a young girl falling down it but she somehow didn't at the same time. I often wish to go back to my life as it used to be when I was a child One dream was this old house and it was basically a representation of my subconscious mind. I was able to pick up some VHS tapes and play old videos of our life on the farm. These tapes are fictional and were never created in the waking life. So using these few examples, how can I actually use these for shadow work or even understanding what's going on in my mind? I'm very new to shadow work. I would also like to suggest that we start a dreams mega thread where we can discuss dreams, get support and even share drawings of them.

This justifies rape.

I also say the same about joy. When I feel something it is like the sensation and the judgement of it can no longer be distinguished. How can I fix this?

I am doing it to try and see what suffering is and also build a tolerance to unpleasant things.

It's an experiment I do in the shower as I am not experiencing any significant emotions at the moment. I let freezing cold water wash over me and try to inquire into suffering to try and see it for what it is. As the freezing water washes over me, the body reaction is very significant and it's at that point where the sensation of freezing water and suffering become one. I can't distinguish the suffering from the sensation as they are both everywhere as one phenomenon. This is probably really unusual what I'm describing here.

Notice how he tells everyone this and not just you? That means that there are other people here in some form. It's like Rupert Spira's one consciousness many finite minds analogy.

It's making it hard to enquire into or find the one who suffers because the sensation itself literally has become suffering in my experience. Even with a totally silent mind, there is undeniable suffering.

Because your eyelids and hands are in the way.

Well we do create our relities so he is not entirely wrong.

You're right, for me in this life, right as I'm sitting here typing this right now it is filled with love and you could say it is divine. Long may it last. I am totally off psychedelics as all of my experiences with larger doses of mushrooms and DMT have been horrific. I am thankful that I haven't been damaged by them in any way. I will go the way of meditation.

I think that his teachings are very solipsistic. He also contradicts himself a lot and these two factors lead to confusion and suffering in the seeker.

All of these teachings have actually made me cling to life 10 times harder as future lives could be a lot worse.

Afuckingmen to that

That's incorrect.

Never had it.

Will independence help Scotland in general and evolve it into a stage green country?

Some people, despite their best efforts fail to get sex. That's the problem. The next best thing is to develop mastery so that the feeling of lack can be sorted out.

Seems to me like a way to make money from the placebo effect.

I'd say that I am largely happy enough without it but the need still nags away in the background, rarely being a problem. I reckon with enough mastery, monks for example, you can be totally happy without it. It will be hard work to develop yourself to that point though.

There is also the assumption that others don't exist and don't experience reality.

A good bit of advice given by nahm was to write about my sensations but I have enormous difficulty describing them. When I strip away the labels of depression, fear or lack, what is left can not be described. To even say that it is a tense, burning or sinking feeling is wrong because it doesn't feel like that either. I can't put any labels to what I feel at all. How do others on here write about their feelings?

Well Leo is a solipsist, he can use any word salads he wants in order to deny this but it's true. With that, I don't think a lot of what he says is true.
