SOUL

You are believing that it's truth a story is shared with no one and is completely incomprehensible and wild.... this is in your imagination.

...and in your story what you believe in your perception is the 'truth'.

Then you go on to create a story shared by many on this forum The type of conditioning on this forum is typically of the 'non-dual' variety Or as 'truth' and 'illusion' which is the conditioning of this forum but derived from eastern religious teaching ...which you dutifully did nonetheless.

There are dynamics with the brain and our minds that will limit the degree of awareness we have of the infinite perspectives that are present simultaneously because of it's focus on just one or few of them. We are the objective and subjective, the finite and infinite simultaneously. Consciousness work can allow us to increase our experience of unattached awareness so we aren't attached to just one or a few of the separate perspectives which ironically brings on a sense of 'connectedness' to all views that exists in the oneness perspective.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say here but if I'm not mistaken your point I will say yes all perspectives are present in the holistic awareness as 'oneness' perspective.

Please allow me to offer a conceptual understanding that differs from many on this forum..... don't separate the objective and subjective as if they are not one perspective, ultimately they are one. To be in awareness from the so called 'objective' observer one will 'subjectively' view themselves through that 'objective' perspective. We are 'subjectively' viewing the attached subjective experience from an unattached subjective perspective which we call 'objective' observation. So then to observe the 'objective' observation we will 'subjectively' view from a point that is unattached to the 'objective' observation. As we continue to view from a point increasingly unattached to any one specific point we view them from all points and become aware of our presence in all perspectives. So the difference between the conceptual perspective of 'objective' and 'subjective' ceases to be obstacle to genuine unified perspective. This is what some call non-dual awareness.... I would call it holistic awareness.

What Jesus taught is very useful, quite insightful and potentially powerful inner work to cease self suffering but what the Christian religion teaches about Jesus... not so much, in fact, their beliefs quite often increase self suffering.

It's in the imagination..... Believing our own experience is truth and others is an illusion is in the imagination... That 'mine' is greater, accurate, advanced, a clear lens and others is lesser, false, limited, a cloudy lens is in the imagination... The absolute, infinite, eternity, oneness, truth, illusion, god, devil, morality, duality, non-duality, love, fear, joy, peace, suffering and yes liberation are in the imagination... Even our senses with all of our bumping into the physical world appears to us in our imagination and are just processes of the brain that create the perception in the mind imagining something we behaviorally interact with in an imagined existential manifest... So 'truth' is imagined.....yet 'it' is what it is and we imagine that it is through our perception of what we imagine it to be as true to what really is. Imagination is a facet of consciousness that knows itself through the awareness of it's imagined 'being'. Being pellucid....enlightenment is in the imagination.

I use to dislike Lima beans but I developed a passion for them now I passionately dislike them and I truly appreciate their place in the universe as long as that place isn't my mouth.

You didn't..... You only think you did and believe it to be so.

@RevoCulture , I see that I have triggered your fragile ego, my apologies, you may resume your mental masturbation without my interference now. Haha

Seeking advice about giving advice....hmmmmmm

@actualizing25, I know it's easy for someone to tell another to have more passion and appreciation for life but it's not so easy to cultivate it if one doesn't have it. It's like trying to tell someone to appreciate or have passion for a certain song or food by just willing oneself to like it, it doesn't work that way. Which is why I suggest that within your inner being just be still, don't resist, have acceptance with what is and observe your self. Use the lack of desire for externalities or spiritual practices and methods to your advantage. As you find your comfort in just being present the well being of inner peace will grow. This will also allow you to perceive things from a place of well being so what resonates with your sense of well being will be what you seek to do in life instead of trying to force your appreciation of things that doesn't resonate with your well being. Also I don't see how it is helpful to tell someone who is in a passionless or apathetic state that they have a bad attitude so don't take it personally if someone does. Don't allow another person's judgment of your current state to influence your disposition. Find your peace in just being present so a sense of well being will grow in you and in this liberation you will awaken to what resonates with your genuine being.

Is the abuse a child may experience all in their mind? The point of your rant is all in your mind..... no need to overthink things, they are just what they are, being aware of them and acknowledging them for what they are isn't being pro or anti in this binary you seem to be caught in. Here, let me break the dualism paradigm for you....pro...anti and..... indifferent. See? It's not even 2 sides in it..... it's 3....and 1..... the 1 being it just is what it is. Peace.

Awakening is possible for anyone and it is a process, when one finds inner peace then the veil of self falls away in an evolving way. By peace I am speaking about the absence of conflict within you. If you are already in a state where your desire for externalities or any of the 'spiritual' things others chase after then you are ripe for the type of contentment that awakens the inner being to liberation. So just be still in your consciousness and observe. If you are hungry then eat, if you are tired then sleep but don't fret over what you think you should or shouldn't do...... Just be present in peace.

I would use the Socratic method when you are interacting with them and they are behaving autonomously. Start asking them questions that leads them to explore and discover why they're behaving the way they are. This is a non confrontational way of awakening them to their unconscious behavior and maybe they will learn to modify it in conscious ways.

You are actually in a perfect place to find inner peace right now because all the external things usually serve as a distraction from finding it. Once you can have contentment in just being present no matter the conditions or externalities this will allow you to express this peace with everything you experience.

It isn't really a matter of loving everything for what it is as it is that we are coming from a loving place from the source of our being no matter what we experience. This allows us to live life in a loving way through everything even if the circumstances we encounter aren't pleasing or appealing to our 'self'. Then how we behave is influenced by this love and the actions we take are characterized by love so can heal the situation to the degree it can be. It's difficult to behave in a healing way if we are acting from a fearful or hateful place because that would inform our behavior. Even if we find the situation contrary to what we seek for ourselves coming from love is the way to heal it.

Most often "wrong" is using a dualistic mindset in perception, which Leo also uses with his teaching. There are a variety of ways to understand our experience, there is the physical world, there is science, there is a psychological perspective, there is spiritual path. With science there is a hard line between "right" and "wrong", with the physical world there are accurate and inaccurate ways of understanding it even though that line isn't quite as hard as it is with the scientific understanding. We all have "right" and "wrong" ideas about the physical world, none of us possesses complete and flawless understanding of the objective physical world. In our psychological perspective we have all sorts of ideas in how we perceive the world around us and ourselves. These are much more subjective perceptions where "right" and "wrong" aren't clearly defined. Is spinach delicious? There is no objective way to find the "right" or "wrong" answer to this, it's subjective. Yet there are some physical attributes that would influence our perspective of this but it still doesn't create an objective experience of it. With our spiritual path we subjectively create our experience of it in our imagination through our ideas of it. What may be "right" for one person could be "wrong" for another and even our own ideas of it may be "wrong" for us if those ideas produce self suffering in us. Our own spiritual path may liberate us from self suffering but that doesn't make them "right" for others because they may cause self suffering in them and does not liberate them from it. When Leo teaches his own personal spiritual path from his own experience of it as a universal one for everyone and makes claims that it is a universal "truth" he is revealing how he doesn't understand the spiritual path....which he has been doing even if he doesn't use the specific phrase 'universal truth' because he spends countless hours telling others 'you, you, you'. He is both "right" and "wrong" simultaneously about the very same thing....which is why it's pretty useless to frame things in the 'right-wrong' binary with thing outside of the scientific and physical world. Also, don't mistake subjective and objective as opposites in a dualism or a binary, they aren't.

Haha

Yes, why frown.

Even though we are all just a figment of the imagination in each other's perception it is a very persistent one so that we may navigate the manifest with awareness, knowledge and wisdom in our consciousness of it.

Observe it......

The way to alter the unconscious mind is by ceasing to reflexively believe what springs from it spontaneously. Then be selective about what one believes to be real because what we trust as being real and behave in accordance with we empower in us. Eventually the unconscious mind will transform into one that expresses itself in the pattern we create in present moment experience that eventually passes away to become part of the memory bank the mind uses to construct self identity. This consciousness work can be used to transcend any conditioning the mind may have acquired in life and attune our awareness to a clarity and equanimity that liberates the self from suffering.

It's all story telling conjured up in the imagination.
