It's not about being smart, it's about not being deluded.

Right, but others have experienced Truths that noone else has ever experienced and that are so alien to you that you will never experience them. That's the Nature of Infinity. You still do not understand Infinity, and what we are witnessing here is a unravelling of the limitations you have put upon Infinity, and the way your ego structures react to those new forces. The irony is that you are talking to yourself here, you are doing nothing but making fun of your own ignorance, you just are no realizing it yet. You still have far too many limitations blocking Infinity.

Things are not beautiful, only beauty is beautiful. Beauty is it's own form of existence. To say a thing is beautiful is to say 1 = red. That is illusion. 1 is 1, and red is red. There is no thing in existence that is red but redness. How can you still not see this?

I suspect he is experiencing the same thing Connor Murphy has, it confirms my theory about psychedelics and their effects on certain ego-structures. I suspect that there might be no coming back from this for Leo, once certain structures are dissolved, the most wise person's brain can melt into that of a simple "schizophrenic". But that's expected, exploration and pioneering is fundamentally risky.

Maybe all of buddhism is nonsense, but where would you be if buddhism didn't exist?

Well you might not be kidding, but it is necessitated that everyone who is a genuine seeker ought not to take your word for it and consider the possibility that you are just deluding yourself. You know this. The reason why you are where you are is because you had genuine curiousity for Truth. There was a flame within you that guided you. That's what it takes, nothing else. No amount of teaching will help anyone who does not have that flame. And that's not a problem, because in the wisdom of the Divine, those who ought awaken will be given that flame. The main task of a teacher is to nurture the flame in those who have it and not stand in their way. As a teacher, you can do far more wrong than you can do right. Nobody told you that Buddhism is incorrect. And if they had, what difference would that have made to you? Why would you believe them over anyone else? What must be watched out for as a teacher is to not extinguish the flame within others by making them reliant on your word and wisdom. So the question is, what kind of attitude towards your students turns them into followers? What kind of words are attractive to followers and unattractive to those who have the flame within them?

And if they believe you say the truth, they are equally gullible. No amount of rhetoric will change that fact.

The biggest problem with the entire entertainment industriy that it is reducing the productive capacity of mankind. A responsible and developed species will not waste hours and hours of every week on activities which are enjoyable but lead to nothing useful in the world. The reason for that is simple: You can educate people to find joy in activities which are socially and environmentally useful. We currently live in the wild west, our usage of all forms of media and entertainment is utterly irresponsible and primitive. This will be obvious to people in the future. Our age is akin to people being allowed to murder each other as they see fit, that's the insanity that is going on today. But of course, we are completely blind to it because we cannot see what a truly developed human being even looks like. If half the time spend on entertainment in the west was spend on improving society and the world, we would have heaven on earth already.

Well, nice troll.

I've noticed a kind of attitude within spiritual communities that has always bothered me, and that is to frame spirituality as a race, as "self improvement", as some sort of game you need to win. Especially Leo has this attitude with his constant moralizing and mocking of the ignorant. It's about ambition, achievement, about a crusade for the truth. I don't get a sense of celebration of existence, of acceptance, of love. It's resistant to what is, it's the undermining of wisdom and intelligence. The truth is, people are revealed to what is deemed by the highest authority and intelligence to be right. People and society are shown what they are ready for. "But, I need everyone to experience this, I need you to experience this!" Everyone one will experience this in time, at their own pace, as is destined by the wisdom of God. Rushing it will lead to disharmony, not harmony. It will lead to suffering, not to joy and peace. If society was ready and mature enough for Truth, then society would see Truth. If you gave God to chimps, chimps would perish. That's all that would happen. There is a reason for evolution, and it's not merely to return to God. Everything returns, that is without question. The impatience, the desire to resist reality and attempt to bring to people the Truth and wake them up, that means a lack of alignment to Truth. And in this way God is perverted. God is not celebrated in joy and love, God is shoved down people's throats. God's creation is undermined, as if God was more important than Creation. Can you see that God would never say that he is more important than Creation? God is Love, complete Selflessness. Would he look upon Creation and point it's finger "You are pathetic, return to me at once, where Truth and Beauty and Goodness exists!". I have been always interested in the Nature of Existence and Reality, and Leo's content in many ways has smothered that curiousity. The combination of self-improvement and framing Truth like something that must be attained. That's not curiousity, that's not genuine interest. That's self-help bullshit. Those who are ready will find their way as long as you offer to them help when they ask for it. It's as simple as that, you don't need to convince anyone. If someone needs to be convinced, it means they are not ready. This must be accepted, there is no way around it. If it is not and you are burned at the stake, it is you who has failed to recognize the wisdom and authority of God, not them. I wonder if you can see this. If you get put to the cross and you complain about it, you are the one who is ignorant. You should have known that Creation is Perfection. If you could just hand God over to people like it was some sort of gift, then all Creatures on Earth would be Enlightened. But they are not, because if you gave them God, Creation would cease, it would fall apart. The foundation is not built yet, and your impatience will lead you to build a house on it when the ground is not yet prepared. That's foolishness, that's childishness. The way the people react to you and your teachings is 100% justified and proper, in fact it is the highest wisdom. When the immune system of society recognizes you and removes you, then it means you are the virus, the cancer. And of course, a virus is part of Creation, part of Perfection. But do not delude yourself, because if that happens, that's exactly what you are. You are a virus that thinks it knows better, that wants to selfishly replicate itself. And reality will deal with you accordingly. One day, when the organism of society is evolved enough, the virus might become part of the organism. But that is not the case today, if you cannot see this, you are just blind. If you are too selfish and impatient, and want to live the role of the self-important bringer of Truth, it just shows you have a lack of integration. If you did See, then you would be patient. You would know that there is no rush. Then you might recognize that the fact that psychedelics are illegal in most countries is because of the wisdom of God, and nothing else. That people like you have been burned at the stake for very good reason. In fact, for Divine Reason, for the prosperity and evolution of Creation itself. You, burned at the stake, for the Love of God.

The Nature of All Insights, inculding all Concepts and Ideas you have heard from Leo is the following: Insight is defined by the pathway, or difference, or contrast between Form and Nothingness. This means that what kind of Insights about Reality you will have will depend on what kind of Form you are. There is a difference between the Form and Nothingness. Once you dissolve the Form, it will seem like the opposite of it's Nature is Truth. For example: Form is duality. Duality is dissolved. The Truth is Non-duaity. Form is selfish. Selfishness is dissolved. The Truth is Selflessness. Form is fear. Fear is dissolved. The Truth is Love. Form is limitation. Limitation is dissolved. Truth is Infinity. Form is dream. Dream is dissolved. Truth is Awakening. Form is ignorance. Ignorance is dissolved. Truth is Intelligence. All of these concept can only be arrived at through the journey, the distance between Form into Source. Something cannot be Limitless without Limitation. Something cannot be non-dual without duality. Something cannot be selfless without selfishness. Something cannot be awake if there is no dream. Something cannot be intelligent if there is no ignorance. So insight is the moving towards the source. And that motion and it's nature will depend on the nature of the form. See, Existence is not merely one thing, one Absolute. It is Impossibility. It is what it deems to be. And this is why Leo is chasing his own tail, blindly stumbling through the light. All of his teachings, are exploring his Form and it's motions. This is why he is so certain he has reached the "Absolute Truth", when that very sensation of having reached an end, having reached the Absolute, is merely one more form, one more limitation he is putting upon himself. Once that Limitation is lifted, Impossibility will be recognized. And then, there is no longer any teaching of the Truth, there is only the exploration and transmutation of Existence. All of Human Spirituality is merely the Afterglow of the Dissolution of Humanity.

I have tried to make the blind see. The responses of you guys is so far off the mark that I have no more hope that I will ever be capable of communicating this to anyone. You are utterly stuck in your own perspectives.

It's not hypocritical, I have advocated for Leo to recognize what he is. I let nature be nature, and because I am part of that nature, part of the wisdom of God, I am here talking to you and writing this post. This is how the wisdom of God works, conversations are part of it, and even your knee-jerk reaction is part of it. This is letting life run it's course. Letting or not letting Leo be is part of this construct, and that is what you fail to see at this moment.

In my opinion, what we are observing here is not a healthy manifestation of stage green. Which means society will regress into a more reasonable form of stage orange with a mixture of green. This has happened a few times now, and it will happen until a proper evolutionary pathway up the spiral was found. Many will breach into yellow and stablize the environment somewhat, being perceived as the "voices of reason" by those who have begun to see the limitation of each of those stages.

Why do you say this? I don't get the sense whatsoever that this is true. We know Putin has isolated himself and removed any contrarian voice over the past few years that spoke against his agenda of attempting to reestablish the russian empire. And we know that is his main political motivation, because he has been talking about it to no end. Putin isn't cunning and intelligent, he has created an environment in which even his own intelligent officers were not able to give him a true picture of the situation. That's why he started the war, because he was told that the war would be over within days. That was just bad intel, and that intel was due to the corruption of his own government, which in the past few years he was the main contributor to. He replaced anyone who would have given any kind of resistance to his ideas, and so he has just fueled his own delusions. The idea that he is just a genius and everything he is doing is a rationally calculated act is just so absurd and fairy-tale like. This is not a movie, he is a flawed human being, and he genuinely wants to reestablish the russian empire, which in his eyes is not merely to benefit him and the regime. He is doing this for the very same reason Hitler wanted to create a Third Reich. For the greater good of his nation and it's descendants.

If it is deemed so. If you think it's a nice catch you cannot see Impossibility.

I am doing the opposite Leo. No, form is not formless. It is what it's deemed. That's it. There is no actual Absolute Truth, there is only deeming. Having an Absolute Truth would Limit Deeming, and Deeming is Limitless, unless it i deemed otherwise.

Well, it's Leo realizing the silly limitations he has put upon Existence, but he has not yet realized that it stems from his attachment to ideas, theory and intellectual frameworks.

I feel like a theory I posited about psychedelics, a few years back, and when that Conor Drama happened, was confirmed to me. It is happening to Leo atm, just on a more subtle level.

He is definitely talking to followers of his work, I can clearly remember it being contextualized that way, whenever he has a big new insight especially. Was there a single time you had difficulty grasping something Leo was saying, conceptually speaking?

No, it is arrogance. He always assumes the worst of people, it's like if you take the principle of charity and flip it on it's head, that's what he is embodying. Just think of how many times he says in his video "This is so advanced, you will probably not even understand what I am saying to you.", before he explains some basic shit. Every time he says those words it ends up being something that is easily understood. Nothing about Leo's framework is hard to understand, what's hard is to verify it for yourself. Yet for some reason he does think it is hard to understand intellectually, which means he has some very distorted view of how sophisticated his ideas are, or how much intelligence they require.

The irony is that you could make the same video about Adolf Hitler.

Rockstar is so big that this did probably cause more damage than anything. There is a reason why Rockstar doesn't release their main characters in some pre-alpha footage 4 years before release, not all marketing is good marketing.

This is the problem, you are incapable of having conversations and genuine exchange of perspective on this forum because of your attachment to your teacher role. All you can do is assert your own perspective and show others why they are wrong, or tell others you agree with them. But never an actual engagement/discourse.

I am not demonizing it at all, I am giving it a chance. But understanding the technology for what it is, is important. My point is that if you were to engage and contemplate this topic more seriously, I think you would realize that the AI's are not doing what humans do during creativity, it's not the same process. They are doing something akin to what the human brain uses during visualization, mind's eye activity and dreaming (altho still far less sophisticated and lacking in coherence because of the inherent limitation of the physical hardware of computers). The AI will never understand what it is creating, that's simply not what the AI is doing. While it may appear that when the human says "2+2=4" in his mind is the same as what the calculator does when you type in that equation, it is not the same at all. And because the processes used are not the same, is the precise reason why the calculator is so much more efficient at what it is doing. Because the human is not doing the same, the result merely is the same. I don't know how you are not seeing this with the amount of consciousness work you did, but the reason why the AI will not be able to do the same thing as humans is because it has no unified, multidimensional consciousness. And it's not because the software lacks, but because the nature of the computer in it's physical manifestation is fundamentally different from the brain. Here is a good article: https://www.unite.ai/is-dall-e-2-just-gluing-things-together-without-understanding-their-relationships/ It cannot understand relationships, because relationships are an aspect of perception. The AI does not perceive, it simply ruins a physical process. The AI is not merely lacking in complexity or training, the AI is not at all. And that's why it is not capable of understanding what an apple is, what a hand is, what a human is, what anything is. All it does is fart out images based on intuitive visualization. It will never know what it is creating, and that is why this is fundamentally different from human creativity. The irony here is that, even though a 4 year olds drawing will be far less sophisticated than what an AI would create, the child's art would be the result of perception, not computation. I can see a cat once, and if I perceived it correctly, I will be able to understand all it's components visually speaking. An AI will never understand what a cat is, all it does is create shapes that look like millions of images it was fed with the tag "cat". The AI will make mistakes that no 4 year old would ever make, like attach to a cat 2 tails, give it 5 legs and so forth, after having been fed millions of images of cats. This does not happen when humans create images, even if the images they create are far less sophisticated. This is because the human creates from true perception, from actual understanding. The human actually knows why 2+2 is 4, the calculator does not. All it does is display the results, which then are interpreted by humans. The human will immediately know when the calculator is wrong, when it says 2+2=5, and the same way, the human immediately knows what about these images is flawed, whereas the AI has no way of ever possibly knowing that, because it has no knowledge. Another limitation is that the AI has no spatial perception. It could not possibly know what a cat is, because a cat is a 3 dimensional entity. All the AI can do is generate 2d images, being fed flat images. This is why AI's often lack coherence when object disappear behind other objects. They could not possibly know what is behind an object, because all that exists to the AI is a flat space. Well, all of that presuming the AI was actually conscious, which it is not. My stance is that the human brain is not merely more sophisticated than a computer, it is pulling from completely different natural forces, inaccessible to computers in the way they exist today. The brain functions as one unity, feeding multiple dimensions of existence into one field of awareness. What forces are at work behind this are probably so foreign to us that we might have to invent entirely new scientific disciplines to investigate them. It's not merely physics, and one day we will realize this, and by that time, all technology that will exist today will seem like stone age technology. We will not merely make better computers, we will create something completely beyond computers. Computers in contrast will look like abacuses, and technology will look more like organic matter than contemporary computers.
