@pluto Good sutsang. Thanks for sharing.

It is

Well said

Morality is ego's defense mechanism. No ego = no morality.

I've been using Leo's map and doing the work (minus psychedelics), and it works for me. It's not about living a happier dream, it's about the ultimate freedom from the dream - this illusion is just a projection of the ego, nothing less nothing more. And as Leo said above, you must choose to discover for yourself...or not

@Jed Vassallo Good ones

@Viking Your love for others is a reflection of the love you have towards yourself. Learn to love yourself in a healthy way first and see how your love towards others will automatically become more pure and real.

@wavydude Post like the OP amuse me

This is one of my all time favorites

Good point. That's why Enlightenment is also called Self-realization. 'You' as Awareness become Self-aware.

@egoeimai @Charlotte @Sparkist Thank you, ladies! Your art is inspiring, love it!

My most recent paper art creation Tulips and Daffodils

Yes, you need a map to get to the territory.

Yes, enlightenment is embodiment of all of it. What's dumbness to the ego is still intelligence to the Absolute. And since you embody the Absolute (aka God, Infinity, Intelligence, etc) existentially, all these arguments are mute.

@George Paul All semantics aside, you have to embody infinite intelligence to know exactly what Leo is talking about.

@egoless Direct experience is your best friend. If you directly verified everything you said in OP, you would see how deceptive our mind can be.

Lol

Interesting article, thanks for sharing.

@How to be wise I book-marked this post of Leo's where he talked about creativity: "Infinite intelligence is at work in the movement of the entire universe. It all moves as one. Your ego cannot do that. Your ego is very linear and limited. If you want to be maximally creative, you need to get your ego out of the way so that you are directly tapping the infinite intelligence which is truly running the entire show and is responsible for all spontaneous insight -- on which artistic creative genius depends. The genius isn't yours, it's God's".

@Sage_Elias Zen monks have a rule called 'Decision that eliminates all other decisions'. In this case, shaving one's head would eliminate many other things like owning and using a hair brush, hair care, buying/making hair products (shampoos, etc). They strive for simplicity and not having hair makes life more simple. Just my 2 cents.
