How to be wise

You can still remember that joke... it was over a year now.

EVOLUTION!!!

@Outer Yes, but how can you know that other people are themselves aware. I’m sure you don’t believe that inanimate objects like stones are aware. In the same way, how can you be sure that other people are aware.

@archi Surely the substance can’t kill you physically.

I was just wondering, if somebody completely purifies themselves of their ego, so that they no longer have any shadow, no negative emotions, and no neurotic behaviours, then would 5-MeO still help such a person? If yes, then how could it? Wouldn’t we call that person ‘perfect’ for completely mastering himself. What more could 5-MeO show him?

@Outer The only problem I have with idealism is that you must assume that other people are conscious as well. But from my direct experience, how can I be sure that other people are themselves conscious. You can never really know if that’s true or not. For all I know, everybody else is just faking consciousness but actually are just walking zombies. That’s a belief, which if proven wrong, will bring the whole of idealism crashing down. If the first floor of a building collapses, so will the rest of the building.

Idealism, although better than materialism, is still wrong. Let me show you why. According to the book ‘Why materialism is baloney’, idealism still makes two assumptions: 1. Your conscious perceptions exists: everything that you experience with the five senses are real without a shadow of a doubt. 2. The conscious perceptions of other living creatures other than yourself also exists: so other people that you see are also themselves perceiving. Note that both of those assumptions are completely groundless. They are both false when faced up with non-duality. So the concept of ‘universal mind’ can be safely debunked.

@Joseph Maynor The difference is stage green. A simple formula: orange + green = yellow. A stage yellow person is very liberal, but unlike green he is moderate. A stage orange person is rational, a full stage yellow person is not. Stage yellow is integral: he integrates many different perspectives, orange does not. The difference between a stage orange and yellow scientist: they are both interested in science, but a stage orange scientist is dogmatic with the paradigm he is stuck in. It will be very hard to convince him of anything outside of science. A fully stage yellow person on the other hand, is very comfortable in combining science and spirituality. As was said in the book ‘spiral dynamics’: “Spirituality meets up with quantum mechanics.” If you look at a lot of the 20th century scientists like Niels Bohr and so forth, they were easily able to combine spirituality with science, and so they were usually idealists, not materialists. Stage yellow inherited stage green’s capacity to accept all perspectives, however it is no longer just delusional about their effectiveness. If a thousand year old shamanistic dance from Mexico does not work, the stage yellow person will point that out blatantly, whilst the stage green person tries to explain away how everything is equally useful.

@Serotoninluv By the ego, I don’t mean sense of self. I mean all of the person’s neurosis.

@Pranesh vijay

In an earlier episode, you said that ‘incarnation’ is just a paradigm. Do you still hold that view?

@hikmatshiraliyev I advise you not to use the question ‘who am I’ in your self inquiry, as it is surprisingly difficult to become enlightened that way. Find another question to reach enlightenment, eg what is the nature of reality, what is the substance of reality.

These days I usually become conscious throughout the day that emptiness leads to ecstasy. So what does that mean? Well, if you look around your room just as it is without projecting your concepts on to it, your body will be filled with this very blissful feeling. I’m feeling it a lot these days as I progress further with The Work of Byron Katie, which I have been doing now for around six months. I also noticed that, with my new awareness, I can really appreciate a lot of Leo’s videos that before were just mental masturbation for me. These include the videos ‘a rant against naive realism’, ‘how you lie’ and ‘understanding how paradigm works’. These videos are really helping me now as I carry on distinguishing ‘actuality’ from ‘thoughts’. The notion of reality as a physical place is really breaking down for me, because it is not in ‘actuality’. I’m also using the realisations I get to really work on my shadow side, and live my life acting out of joy rather than fear. This is extremely important to me as usually most of my life has been spent acting out of fear rather than joy. I also see that I’m saving a lot of energy in my day as I purify my shadow and change a lot of my neurotic behaviours, because those behaviours would usually expend a lot of energy from me.

Really? Writing a short blog shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. It’s not like you’re shooting a video. At the very least, why don’t you link us to authors or websites that specialise in those domains. You mentioned a year ago that you had a book called ‘how to astral project in 90 days’ in your bookshelf. Why didn’t you add it to your booklist? In your blogs or videos, there’s almost no mention at all of how to astral project, lucid dream, channel or access the akashic records. And yet you still talk about them in your videos like we are all experts in it. The main reason I watch this channel is because I’m depending on you to introduce us to everything. At least link us to websites or people to research. I haven’t got time to be doing research like you.

Then why not tell us more in your blog?

Santata Gamana’s New book: Turiya-The God State, is out. Some of you who are practicing his Kriya Yoga might like to check it out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Turiya-State-Beyond-Kundalini-Spirituality-ebook/dp/B07JCXKDXV/ref=la_B0765YXM96_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1539630725&sr=1-5

@pluto What a disgusting post. Very cringey for me. There was not an ounce of practicality in there. It’s like your messing around in this forum. Have you attained any of the things that you are talking about. If not, then what fucking right do you have to shit all over those concepts.

@The Blind Sage @molosku @PsiloPutty @Adam M I doubt any of you will actually reach enlightenment. By the looks of it, you’re not taking this seriously enough. I do self-inquiry for two hours every single day. I’m serious about this path. Anybody who says they will use Leo’s recommended meditation techniques to reach enlightenment is clearly not going to get there. If you want proof of that, watch the Hawaii retreat videos that Leo recorded in his blog. The first Hawaii retreat I mean. It’s pretty depressing.

@YaMayka If you’re serious about emotional purging, use The Work of Byron Katie. Meditation is good but not very reliable. Try reading the book ‘Loving What Is’.

@Ayilton Introversion is also a big weakness because you don’t like social settings. Like it or not, an introvert can’t make a very big difference to mankind. That’s because the world is one big social setting that you must become comfortable with, and unless that happens you won’t be able to properly change it. There are ways to become an extrovert, but it takes some inner work.

@i am I AM What the fuck does that matter? Ramana Maharishi.

@Preety_India you’re welcome.

@Preety_India The fact that he didn’t post anything yet means he was probably restricted. Good work! Next time anybody says mean things about your posts, be sure to report them straight away. Otherwise they will just carry on.

@Preety_India Well, unlucky for him I quoted him in my earlier post. He can’t delete that. Report his ass! @Speedscarlet If you want to bully people do that somewhere else. You’re finished.

@Speedscarlet Why are you bullying this girl. I know that you’ve bullied many people in this forum. You need to stop now.
