How to be wise

@Igor82 What that guest was saying goes completely against all of Dr Phil’s current belief model, so of course he must reject this.

@pluto I clearly did not “choose” to become the ego. If I could switch back I would. When am I ever not present?

@Eden list all the reasons why you don’t want the baby. List all the reasons why you don’t want to abort it (if you didn’t abort it yet it means you don’t want to abort it). Then, in your minds eye, observe the reasons one by one. For each reason you wrote, observe that thought along with all the images and videos that come with that in your mind. Keep observation until you receive and insight that will show you that that statement, whatever it is, is not true. (You will get that insight if you observe long enough).

@WildeChilde wrong.

@MisterMan don’t clear anything. If you’re mind shows you some insights observe them and learn from them until they leave you, not the other way round. Remember, when you’re observing your problems, focus on those images and videos in your mind that would normally cause you so much suffering. Let those negative emotions come up as you observe. If you do this long enough, you will receive insights that will quite literally blow your mind. After a while, watching those images and videos will be very pleasant. Why? Because all the thoughts that made you hate that situation will be clarified and understood as not being true. The best thing about this is, if that situation you’re observing happens to you in real life, you will not suffer any emotional pain. You will have completely resolved that situation. This is how you get true emotional mastery.

@Ham3aChauh4n why don’t you do some research instead. Leo’s book list is an excellent place to start from.

@Shakazulu was this your first ever trip?

@Joseph Maynor Definitely. Unchanging wisdom is never true wisdom. True wisdom is always complicated and quite dynamic when put in words. Static truths and wisdoms remind me of religions. And plus, you need to take into account the nature of language. It’s very rare to phrase a truth so easily, because the words you use to explain them are themselves very inaccurate.

@MisterMan Confusion is the only suffering. If you were clear, you wouldn’t have a problem with anything. Try writing down some of the problems you have and observing them in your mind for a while. This is the bridge that will lead from confusion to clear mindedness.

@Shanmugam how sure are you about the author’s authenticity? Is there a chance he is some scammer who just wants his book bought?

@Shanmugam thanks a lot. I’m really into kriya yoga.

@Alby so are you after enlightenment?

@iTommy could be some paranormal experience. Or maybe some sort of lucid dreaming experience.

@Alby why not try 5 meo dmt? What’s your aim with taking psychedelics? Are you seeking anything?

@Maxi could be your paranormal abilities starting to bud. Have you watched Leo’s paranormal video?

@Andre Quinonez I would suggest contemplating the statement ‘I shouldn’t develop schizophrenia, is it true?’. If you do it long enough, it will blow your mind. Your view on your family will shift 180 degrees. Give it a try.

@Patang check you spelling... ?

@Shin lust is just a confused mind. If met with understanding, you will see through it.

@Daniellelu If you can’t meditate at home for 2 hours, how can you meditate somewhere else for 10 days?

@Crauli All different subjects are actually way more linked than you think. So in this case, a homo universalis could discover far more about the subjects than a specialist. I think it will feel quite good. No it’s not like being enlightened. Enlightenment is experiential knowledge. Homo universalis are still in their heads.

In his latest video, Leo said the goal is to be in no-mind for most of the day. But Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that he usually spends days and weeks on end without a single thought. He has remained in a constant state of ecstasy and bliss for 10 or 15 years. He sleeps less than 3 hours a day, because he controls his energies so well. He understands ‘truth’ 100%. He said that if he wanted, he could sit in one seat and stay there for the rest of his life, of course with his biological needs being provided. Compare that with what Leo has as a self actualized vision. It’s nowhere near.

@Joseph Maynor Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a living miracle. Most enlightened people will never attain what he attained.

@Nahm Sri Sri was in his twenties when he gained those ‘abilities’. Leo always says that becoming a sage takes long decades. But somehow those yogis do it very quickly.

@NoSelfSelf It depends on what kind of yoga you’re doing. I’m practicing kriya yoga, and in there the sign that a chakra opens is that you will see the light of kutastha when they open. As for what the light of kutastha is, I can’t explain here. It’s quite technical.

@cle103 no problem with using psychedelics, but don’t try to run away from emotional labour. Without years of emotional labour, you’re not going to master anything. Guaranteed. If you’re trying to do yoga, you need to be very disciplined with yourself and do it everyday for many years to see results. No other way. Btw if you have Leo’s book list, make sure not to overlook the books in the success and productivity section. I’ve found them very important even with my yoga practice.
