Can't read Spanish, what does it say? -
@SmartFixer_OceanJjb Has to be ORGANIC, UN-filtered, RAW apple cider vinegar with 'the mother' to give benefits. It's basically fermented apple juice. As you probably already know, fermented foods are awesome for our health. I mix a couple tablespoons of ACV in my 60 oz water bottle (my daily water intake) and sip it through the day. I've done it for so long, must have gotten used to the slightly sour taste. Can't drink water without it now, feels bland. Here's a good article about ACV and some of its health benefits and uses: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/03/21/apple-cider-vinegar-uses.aspx

@SmartFixer_OceanJjb Drinking lots of water with a bit of apple cider vinegar mixed to it helps flush fat. This is a formula to calculate how much water per day is enough: your weight divided by 2 is your number in ounces. I drink alkaline water with RAW UNFILTERED apple cider vinegar (Bragg's brand at Walmart, $6) through the day. There are over 100 health benefits to APV, it's some of the most healthful and least expensive things out there. I also make tea with it, cinnamon and honey. Very yummy too c(:

@Actualizer I remember Leo speaking in one of his recent videos about opening the forum and he called it a 'playground'. So like any playground, this one also provides experience of learning, sharing, exploring, watching/ reading, making connections, competing.. There is a strong sense of like-minded community here and this is something you won't find in a mainstream world. Exactly how I feel too. A great tool for growth with an element of entertainment.

There are levels of enlightenment experience. Awakening is the initial seeing, breaking out of the matrix of the 'self'. In this week's video Leo mentioned he'd be teaching on the levels in his future videos. So stay tuned.

The mind undergoes conditioning from the time we're born. Our family of origin, friends, school, social media, society, etc. all mold the image we adopt of ourselves, which is always based on the false premise, not reality. 'Self' becomes a product of collective un-consciousness. Each and everyone of us can serve as an example. De-constructing the conditioned 'self' and replacing it with higher-conscious parts can take years (if not lifetime) of focused effort, courage, and sacrifice.
-
@Argue In a nutshell, ego is a mind created false sense of self, and the reason we see ourselves as separate from the rest of existence.

@Hardik jain I've been awakened. Not enlightened yet.
-
@JevinR Begin to de-construct the old conditioned 'you', while gradually replacing it with higher-conscious parts. Leo's weekly teachings can help you do that one step at a time. I use the week to contemplate and to make necessary adjustments in those areas. If you force a change, the ego will put up all sorts of resistance and throw a tantrum like a spoiled child. Transcend it with awareness, patience and compassion, and watch 'the spoiled child' giving up its territory inch at a time until it finally fully surrenders.

@OceanJjb I thought that song was annoying too, clicked it off half-time into it. Death is relief when you still identify with your ego (body-mind). Get in touch with your true self (awareness) and you'll see that nothing can shake that, you're untouchable! The eternity is yours to enjoy, heaven on earth. Forever and ever. Amen

@Felipe My take: 1) Enlightenment is more of a realization, a shift in perspective. It's the ability to see reality without the filter of the mind; 2) Anyone can be enlightened; 3) They are, they just don't know it; 4) More like realized/ discovered; 5) I would say yes, but not for any low-conscious reason; 6) Start with yourself first 7) Enlightenment is key to lasting happiness; 8) Yes, enlightened can dream; 9) They can be vegan, vegetarian, or meat-eaters; 10) *See other threads devoted to his topic* 11) I do Enlightened are regular people, but with deeper insight into reality and existence. Most enlightened don't talk about it or exhibit any signs outwardly, other than being noticeably neurosis-free and genuinely happy. -
@Lorcan I tend to agree with Leo. The higher the level of consciousness you possess, the less you have the need for DOING and the more you enjoy and value just BEING. The happiest person in the world answers questions (he is a Buddhist monk): http://www.esquire.co.uk/culture/news/a4915/matthieu-ricard-what-ive-learned/

I miss Odessa beaches. We lived 10 mins walking distance from the Black Sea. I live near the ocean now, but it's still not the same. Amplituda's wife is from Tashkent too.
-
Amplituda speaks Russian too. We were both born and grew up in Odessa, Ukraine and just met on this forum 2 months ago. Small world...
-
Do you speak Russian too?

HaPpY aPrIl FoOl'S, eVeRyOnE!! And thank you for your contribution to this thread! Lets keep the laughs rolling -
I fail with monkey chatter too at times, as everyone else does. I'm training myself to be able to switch 'thinking' off and on AT WILL (Eckhart Tolle idea). When I need to think, analyze, make decision, etc. I turn it 'on', and then 'off' again where I would go for a long stretch without thinking, just observing my surroundings minus attaching labels or making judgments. When I do catch myself in a mental chatter, I just let the thought pass (like watching a dog walking by), while recognizing the fictional nature of it. And sometimes I just dismiss a thought off the bat. We have the power to control our mind.
-
I'm not Leo, but Russian is my first language too, and after a long period of time of having been immersed in English (20 yrs for me), thoughts naturally arise in English. You never lose your language of origin, though.
