How to be wise

It seems that Eckhart Tolle is aware of the collective human consciousness that Leo has talked about in his blog. He believes that a conscious human being is raising the collective human consciousness just by being present. It’s an interesting idea. Can an enlightened person really help another just by being in front of them?

What do you mean?

Great video:

That won’t get you to enlightenment.

The heart was created by the mind. Realise that.

@tenta Provide the evidence.

But where did the hallucination come from?

He's claiming that a powerful yogi lived in the spot he was standing just by swinging some clock or something. Then he goes on talking about the eighth dimension. I guess he went too far down the yogi road and became a new ager.

I guess we will never know.

@Leo Gura Well, it would certainly convince many people here if you could get the infinite intelligence to submit a proof of p vs np. I know that infinite intelligence is real, but many materialists in this forum will need more convincing.

Interesting how Sadhguru and TYT have opposed each other on the issue of the revocation of article 370 in India. Who do you think is in the right? Sadhguru supports the decision made by Modi to revoke article 370, whilst TYT is against it.

@Leo Gura David Koch is gone. There’s no need to continue attacking him.

I found this shocking article about Leo, and was wondering if anyone else saw this as well. How do people find the time to write this crap. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Leo_Gura_(Actualized.org)

No, I fill the worksheets beforehand. The 30 minutes are just for the inquiry. For me, it’s not hard to fill in the worksheets because you can always find something that you don’t like about your life. If there was nothing that you didn’t like about reality, your life would be perfect and you would be living in heaven. A good way to find a worksheet is to think why your life isn’t heaven. Every reason will be a worksheet of its own. Until when you finish, you should be able to say that your life is literally heaven! The perfect life!

I would expect that somebody who mastered himself so much would be revered and even worshipped by thousands of people. But Ralston doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. Kind of sad really. What is the link between self-mastery and fame? Can there be extremely egoless people who are not even noticed by others? Why is that?

Not only did I have over a hundred enlightenment experiences, I was able to shed a large part of my ego off completely. The only spiritual practice I ever did was 2 years of The Work of Byron Katie, which is a form of self inquiry. I did on average 90 mins per day, with three sessions each 30 mins. I did one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one at night time. That’s it. I’ve never done a retreat before.

That’s what I mean. ?

After ego death, survival will just be something that the body & mind does. It will not affect your emotional system in any way.

Or die as an ego.

No I’m just her student.

Rather the strong intention feeds the regular practices. If you have little desire, you will practice half-heartedly, ending up only with mediocre results. If on the other hand you have strong desire, you will practice very well, ending up with exceptional results.

I highly doubt that they seriously want enlightenment. If they wanted it bad enough, they would get it.

If you’re talking about complete ego dissolution, then the answer is no. All suffering comes to protect the ‘I’, but if that’s completely dead, then nothing but peace will arise within you.

In recent blog videos, Leo is advocating that we try to understand the Absolute. But the problem is that the Absolute cannot be understood, because it is beyond mind. All spiritual concepts of the Absolute are not it. “The Absolute cannot be understood. Whatever you understand, you are not that.” Nisargadatta Maharaj
