Thank you for clarifying. How come it is the case that majority of us are only conscious of our human experiences? Why can’t we remember or become conscious of other experiences other than our own limited human identity?

That’s epic to say the least. Okay so you are just playing a role as a human. After your physical body goes, that obviously means that human experiences stops. So what happens next?!?

The more conscious you are, the better you can discern who is “fake” and who is “real”. Maybe you can even discover that there’s no difference between a fake and a real guru.

@Aakash Hey man, I really appreciate your honesty. I was grown up in a religious family, and in a subtle way I was taught to always “act good” and “always say positive things”.

@Aakash I’m guessing you attained the 11th Ox picture

So it is like with the Ten Oxherding Pictures? That is, the enlightened being who does those “selfish” acts has possibly only attained 8 or 9 (The Ox and the Oxherder are both forgotten; Returning to the Original Place), but has not gone beyond that and reached 10 (Entering the Marketplace with Helping Hands)? I am again reminded of one of Leo’s blog videos where he mentions that all of the enlightened masters/teachers that we look up to highly (e.g. Mooji, Rupert Spira) are not as enlightened as we may think they might be? I’m not saying that these teachers kill or rape, but rather that there is a conscious Love even higher to realize and embody.

As Leo has pointed out before, even someone who awakens to their true nature can still go out and kill others and do other “horrible” things. Are these awakened beings doing this out of pure Love too?

IIRC, Leo mentioned in one of his psychedelic videos about how he doesn’t consider weed to be a good for spiritual purposes. Has your mind changed since then Leo? My only personal experience with a “psychedelic” is weed (legally purchased). The reason I haven’t tried other psychedelics is because I currently take an SSRI; so I don’t want to be messing around with the more conventional psychedelics at this stage. Regardless, I believe I’ve had some profound spiritual insights on weed, since that’s the intention I use it for majority of the time. Of course, I can’t compare and contrast with other psychedelics, but those experiences have been the most profound in my entire life thus far. I am reminded of how Leo made a video about his 2C-B trip report; he mentions how his experience on it is unique in that the substance is typically used in raves/parties, not for spiritual purposes.

@Aakash But isn’t it out of Love also to want to reduce mass shootings? What I’m getting at is that everything is done out of Love, which is not a bad thing at all

Yes, I make sure I don’t take weed everyday to make sure I don’t build a tolerance to THC. Marijuana is notorious for building up a rapid tolerance, hence why most people take it everyday.

@Elham “Meditate” while walking, while being with friends, while exercising, while driving your car... I think you get the point

How about other humans that don’t become enlightened? Does it really matter in the end if they discover their true nature or not? If it doesn’t, then why help others become conscious of this Truth? Why do awakened masters or even yourself feel a need to help others awaken as well? By the way, I’m not saying that as an insult to what you are doing. I’m actually really thankful that you’re here.

What’s your view on reincarnation? Is it possible that I will be born as a zebra or another animal after I leave my physical body?

Apologies if you’ve answered this question frequently already. How important would you say nutrition and exercise is on the enlightenment journey?

Have you considered doing any of the following?: Online live video webinars w/ one-on-one live Q&A at the end In-person meetups (or possibly a world or USA tour seminars) w/ Q&A at the end 5-10 day silent retreat in person w/ a group of members (w/ or w/out Q&A sessions) 5-10 day retreat by yourself... but w/ online live video Q&A sessions daily (or only some days) at the end of each day to answer questions/concerns from members who need proper pointing/guidance during their retreat

As I was 20 minutes into Leo’s video on “What Is The Point Of Life?” (watching on my HDTV), I started to slowly experience a sense of hyper-awareness. Literally the TV was slowly seeming to disappear/melt away, and it’s as if the only thing I was aware of was Leo talking, except he and I had no distinction (like I was him and he was me talking as one). I quickly paused the video because I was at awe at what I was experiencing. This is not the first time I’ve had an experience like this (I’ve had it on marijuana). However, I wasn’t under the influence of it at all; I haven’t used it in weeks. Is this a glimpse of awakening, or am I just fooling myself and this is just another ego/mind trick? I definitely feel like trying to analyze and interpret the experience after the fact in an obsessive way is ego coming back full swing.

Thanks for your wisdom and pointings guys, I truly appreciate it. Out of curiosity, is it unheard for these samadhi states to occur when you are out in public; not necessarily alone or with people you trust? Also, Is there a difference between a state and an experience?

Thank you for sharing your thorough explanation, I appreciate it dearly. I also notice that while meditating, my head can start to feel a bit “heavier”, or as if blood flow is rushing to my head. I’m not sure if this specifically happens when I’m only doing lying down meditation. I have a similar head sensation when I just take marijuana. Is this a typical sensation for people who meditate or concentrate? An additional point I’ll make is I am prescribed Vyvanse and Adderall for ADHD which I take daily on a therapeutic dose. One more thing... Can you please explain a bit what you mean by this? This is the first time I’m hearing about this.

@Serotoninluv This happens to me constantly, as my ego gets super excited because it knew nothing but crippling anxiety, obsessive thinking and control before. It now wants control of these mystical experiences, and it’s hard to let go of that. What do you recommend in this case? I plan on going back to therapy as well to help with understanding these egoic patterns in me.

Exactly. When I’m not stuck over analyzing everything and creating endless stories behind what I need to get done, the answers just come clearly and intuitively. So it’s not that you just meditate and contemplate and bam everything is solved, it simply makes you less restricted with your creative and thought process; so you are inspired to help yourself with less doubt and more confidence.

I had an awakening experience one time in the kitchen with my mom and sister. Out of pure love I hugged them for the first time in more than a decade. I think this example is pretty good if you ask me
