This seems mostly like BS and placebo but many people report it actually does "something" for them. Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Did he even attain to enlightened ? I read that he descried himself more like "enlightement entertainer", I don't know to what extent he lived what he preached.

As kids they already remember manifesting stuff, being psychic, having paramornmal abilities even siddhis and such.
Watch some of the "Buddha at the gas pump" interviews and realize thats not the case at all.

Better question is how can someone guide you to a place he's never been to.

When you experience real growth people usually notice by themselves.

Its putting them on a leash taking ownership and castrating it that makes dogs in our countries fight with each other because they lost all their social dog to dog abilities.
I also feel like castrating dogs is cruel but the cruelty is a concept, you sympathise with the dog becouse you image how you would feel when u was castrated, the dog is unaware of that, it does not suffer it
Making dogs domectic does not make them fight and loose social abilited it depends on how you rais it and if you allow it to socialize with other dogs.
My dog would't run away from me even if it could, it's a mutual benefit relationship.

and i'm assuming you base your morality upon this? seems legit and about as close as you can get to.. consciousness
Yes, it's like I said you're an ugly worthless preson, it can't really hurt you becouse that's not true but people can be affected and it can cause unnecessary suffering... basically don't spread falsehood and attachment.
-
Ultimately there is no morality, it is a concept but there are actions that reduce or increase human suffering and confusion.

Since you mention dogs, not long ago I saw a friend with his dog who was recently castrated, it was as happy as always and didn't care it can't make new dogs anymore.
Same with all the "bad" things u mentioned:5 hours ago, Schahin said:-torture
-war they don't do that they just fight when they feel like fighting and they seem to enjoy it
-adultery dogs just fuck when they feel like fucking they don't feel sad about geting cheated on by a spouse
-mass destruction of our precious nature and its inhabitants they don't care about that at all
-spontaneous killings of insects because they "look ugly" naaah
-homelessness and abandonment by society when dog is homless it just lives homless when it have an owner it lives with an owner
-corruption nope
How are dogs free from all these horrible things ?
It's becouse they don't know they are dogs and don't know what these things are -
Yep that's relatable the worst part is feeling of helplessness and not finding your place in the society.

Ye right... a leg

But what is happening is directly result of what happened in the past ( You can even argue that if you had enough data and powerful computer you could predict the whole thing).
So if I make the choice(who is this I?) to do something other way it doesn't even matter because what's going to happen will happen anyway aaaaand I'm feeling trapped and powerless.. what's up with that.

What else is there better to do ?
You will die at some point anyway.

If people here on a 3 on a scale of 0-10. Most people in life are at -20. But they don't even realize it because -20 is all they've ever known.
Happiness is totally relative.
Y'all off topic he just asked a simple question
In my case mostly no.
-
You said that as you got older you started to expirence more suffering in for of fear and anger, did you do anything to adress these feelings to sort of "clear yourself" or did you go straight to non dual teaching ?
-
You can convert it to around 3.7g dried which is regular to big does, it's not what's considered heroic dose.
-
How can somoenelse tell you if YOU are ready for it. Ask yourself why you want to do it, what is the benefit, is it the right time, do you really want it etc. and be honest about it and then you will know if you're ready.

18 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:Fundamentally, my question is, whether the current spirituality model is right or not.
I am making the claim that on a large scale, this model cannot be sustained.
So the answer should be, whether the current model should be changed or not.
What model ? There is no model. It's not like once a year enlightened people gather up and decicde what will be the spirituality model for the next year. They just do what they feel like and for alot of them that is teaching and for others it's just living life so you don't hear about them.

If Leo's enlightened I'm the pope

31 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:What you have written is nothing profound or complex ,though your ego may think what you have written is something revolutionary.. A 10 year old can come up with that. My question is asking something deeper which you apparently are not seeing.
You making it harder than it is, I just gave you answer to your question but looks like you're looking for something profound and complex not for the truth.

58 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:LOL, you have not understood my question, but that was hilarious.
I don't think you understood my answer.
The enlightened people are like 0.001% of society if they decide to go public with their enlioghtement then obviously they become a teacher if we had like 50% of enlightened population we wouldn't need that much teachers and you would have them do whatever else is needed.
Also there are people who decide to not share their realization maybe your bus driver is enlightened and you'll never know. -
3 minutes ago, Ibn Sina said:I am talking about someone like, a Stock Broker + Enlightened master.
Why would enlightened master be a stock broker ? Imagine everyone in the word is suffering from the most deadly disease and no one has a cure and then you happen to find a cure, would you be like " I need to share this with my family, friends and the world" or would you be like " fuck this let's trade some stocks"
-
Becouse they are enlightened, when you find answer to all human suffering you want to contribute by teaching that becouse there's literally nothing better you can do. Let's say you have degree in nuclear physics, would you decide to contribute to society by becoming a janitor ? No, you want to do the most impactful thing you can.
Peter Ralston is an enlightened martial artist and in one of his videos he says that at first he was devoting more time to teaching martial arts and some to consciousness work and after time the balance naturally shifted.

Pain is not the enemy, I often find pain enjoyable when I know it leads to growth. Suffering is the enemy.
