kieranperez replied to How to be wise's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Mind and reality are the same thing, yet is infinite but neither exist. Nothingness, Absolute Truth, The Self, Godhead, Emptiness, etc. is infinite. Leo is not the only one saying this. Every esoteric tradition and enlightened person says the same thing. Maybe slightly different language but it’s essence is the same. This is no something Leo is just telling you. -
Tak to @winterknight on as far as very afforadable options. He connected me to a Psychoanalytic institute that has a referral program that can be extremely cheap and affordable. Shadow work is not something you do on your own simply because the shadow is by definition the self that you can’t see. Remember, the eye can’t look at itself. Don’t make it harder than it has to be. Emotional purification and shadow work is bringing awareness to your own self deception. Doing it on your own is like you trying to look at your face but the closest you can get is your nose. Get a good psychoanalyst and or a trained practitioner in Reichian therapy or someone whose trained in some form of shadow work. A silent mind is one that is emotionally purified or is purifying. All my glimpses of Truth always come after a major emotional release and my mind is finally silent. A silent mind is a concentrated mind. Trying to concentrate in meditation without emotional purification is, as far as my experience, a waste of time. Those who can meditate deeply do so because their mind is finally silent and quiet because theres no unconscious trauma or split personalities in the background projecting its needs onto the world to fulfill needs that weren’t met earlier in life. Have you noticed that monks, Zen masters, yogis, and other stages and mystics who got enlightened weren’t fighting with themselves? Have you noticed that? It may have been hard but the majority of their effort is in realizing the matter itself. Why? Silent mind. There’s little to no internal conflict (for the most part - don’t confuse emotional purification with no shadow. There will always be shadows. Shadow work doesn’t ever end. You don’t ever not have a shadow). Meditation hundreds of years ago worked because the ego was a lot more simple. It was nowhere near as complex as it is now. Hope this adds clarity

Follow up with heavy psychotherapy and shadow work. NOTE: You CANNOT do that on your own.

kieranperez replied to Vagos's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Vagos as someone who got off 6 different psych meds all at once - DONT DO THAT! I seriously got lucky and don’t know how that time around I had no withdrawal - I really do commend your plan. Honestly similar to me. Granted, it’s only been 4 months so I imagine you haven’t built any sort of long term tolerance. Get off them while you can and in whatever way works best for you. I was on 17 years of Adderall and also a whole lot of different SSRIs, mood stabilizers, and even some tranquilizers. Speaking from experience, side effects and downsides of these drugs tend to happen through long term prescription. In the beginning, it can honestly be scary how well certain psych meds work. You think your life is transformed from here on out. It’s kinda like how one feels when having a very cosmic nondual seeming experience (I use “experience” deliberately). You could never fathom how you could possibly fall back. The problem is when time passes by. You will (likely) fall back into old tendencies but now you will have a physiological addiction that can be very hard to not only break but recover from. Honesty, since getting off Adderall, my body, energy levels, cognition, is not the same at all. It’s kinda like a woman after pregnancy. Once she liked sushi. Now she barfs at the smell of it. As far as enlightenment goes, I will tell you, as Ive had glimpses of truth (or as you term it - enlightement experiences) happen to me while on 6 different meds at the same time while even being a total state of utter depression. Granted, once I let go I wasn’t upset (not that I had any context for what I realized) but understand, enlightenment is true and you are actually aware of it in a certain sense right now already. Be careful with how you interpret this but in certain senseX and maybe this is just me, I’ve found mental health issues drive me further and further into disidentification because you are in sense disassociating with everthing that’s arising and is seemingly being experienced including the very sense of being a self or a perceived or a witness or an ego. Enlightenment is true regardless of the condition or state of experience. Nothingness doesn’t change. -
Sorry, I wasn’t specific enough on my end. If i were to ask a question like “what are the best products, courses, and resources for learning the how behind programming one’s subconscious mind” would you contribute? And yes, I chose that example deliberately

kieranperez replied to Vagos's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Examine that. What is the assumption there? That there’s something to happen? Do you imagine there’s something to happen? Do you believe enlightenment happens? After all, a happening suggest a beginning and an end and enlightenment is said to be truth that has never had a beginning nor an end. So what does that leave you with? Where does that leave you? Further, that would also suggest that enlightenment is right now irrespective of what is occurring or is even being experienced. -

I suggest you let this sink for a bit and be honest with yourself. What is being communicated is the fundamental crux of the issue. Eventually you’ll find that the reason you’re not enlightened is that you don’t want it. Interesting. Why are you afraid to be free? Why are you afraid to let go? -
@Leo Gura will you be contributing your own resources that you find worth sharing that you don’t wish to make into future specific products?

kieranperez replied to winterknight's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Remember to be aware that you don’t know. Often what I find very usesful in contemplation/inquiry is recognizing the honest truth that I REALLY don’t know. This, as if, allows me to be more conscious of the fact of my own ignorance and starting seeing my own mental constructions that “taint” my experience. So REALLY be honest with yourself and get to the truth that you don’t know. This creates more curiosity which helps silence. We tend to think, especially people on this forum, including me, we already know what enlightenment is and we already have some image or idea or belief of what it means, what it does, etc. We have all these preconceptions that mask the fact of our ignorance. -

What I mean by that comparison isn’t so much related to the paranormal stuff he can do, although you can read accounts of the miracles he’s worked that equate to the stories of Christ and Buddha (and many others - those are just mainstream examples) - and yes I mean the ones people may think are impossible. I leave that out because you can meet many other yogis in India who can perform those sorts of miracles (and that doesn’t make them enlightened - siddhis have nothing to do with enlightenment nor are they only possible from enlightenment). When I make a statement saying he is a modern equivalent to Buddha or Christ, what I’m saying is the level of mastery it takes (and it took 3 lifetimes for him) to take these teachings to the world in the way that he’s doing and with the responsibility and integrity that he’s doing it with. When I say “the level of mastery”, don’t confuse that to “levels of enlightenment” because enlightenment is devoid of levels. The Truth, God, or Godhead, Emptiness, The Self, Nothingness, etc. is devoid of any qualities, much less conceptual levels or stages. As said by Zen masters “there are no masters of Zen.” The question is how much purification is done on the person on an emotional level, energetic level, moral level, etc. The way he is as a person and what he’s doing is just a more cognitively, conceptually, intellectually advanced version of those like Muhammad, Buddha, Christ, Mahavira, etc. Again, you can meet people today who can do the things Buddha, Christ, etc. did and even are similar as a person. But how developed are they in their cognition, values, etc.? Not that developed relative to the modern day believe it or not. -

kieranperez replied to Finland3286's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
You need to understand that in terms of mastery, Sadhguru really is just a modern day Gautama Buddha or Christ in terms of mastery. Sadhguru is not some ordinary enlightened master. That’s not a kissing his feet deal, that’s a matter of understanding that he is a freak of nature. As far as th part on death and rebirth you pointed out, you can read many yogic texts that tell you how this is done. This isn’t some new arbitrary thing Sadhguru is making up. Also, you have distinguish between spiritual practice and occult practice to some degree. Sadhguru says that because that’s what he did from his last past life to this current one. There are occult practices which you can read and learn from occultists and tantrics where you can learn how to do this. -

I think the reason he does (which I’ll find out soon since I have a good chance at meeting Wilber pretty soon) is that he can’t give a full big picture understanding without criticizing the clear problems of Green collectively and individually. For me, it personally really helped to understand just how deep the problems of Green are since I’m still at Green and the problems of Green are also very connected with the problems of millenial generation and a lot is hinging on the millenial generation. And I don’t think that can go unmentioned and not challenged. Like you said though, it depend on what altitude you’re criticizing them from. It can cause confusion to many lower stage followers but, if were honest, how many people who will even listen to Wilber are at an altitude of Orange or lower? Green, especially in the US (and we do need to draw a distinction between US Green and Northern European Green as they are very different) is very problematic. Nothing fucking gets down with most of the Green cultures and infrastructure and systems and I think this is where Wilber is very spot on. They reject leadership, they reject system, they reject growth hierarchies, they often (not always) reject taking massive personal responsibility, etc. Granted some of those points are true throughout the spiral (particuarly responsibility and victim mindset) but they are very unique strong qualities in Green which I don’t think can go unmentioned. I agree with you in principle to emulating a more Green style government and politics as done in Northern Europe but what I see goes unmentioned is the fact that these other European countries aren’t even close to being as multi cultural and thus multi perspectival. Which is a HUGE difference in terms of problems of implementation and also conflict. No Green Northern European country has as much diversity along the spiral as the US where we have a spectrum from Blue indivuals and collective values all the way to small scale 2nd tier indivuals and values. Northern European countries have a more consistent level of altitude among their individuals. That’s a huuuge help. This creates a whole lot more conflict in the US that makes these issues much trickier solve so it helps noting and being honest about the problems. -
on another note - I swear he remind me of Peter Ralston. Ralston seems like the Feynman on Consciousness work

Find in your experience that which you call an ego that you think can be lost. Are you that? Is there a self or an ego that exists to even surrender? Where is the I that wishes to surrender? The short answer as far as psychedelic experiences go I would just say: Bilateral symmetry Be honest with yourself Trust your energy Tell the truth to yourself in the experience There is nothing to surrender. There is only the truth to be acknowledged Have fun buddy! Tell me how it goes I know you know what to do - which is nothing. You’re already doing nothing. Just recognize it in your experience. -

What I’m your experience is it you think ever had to control to begin with? -
I really struggle to keep my body still. There’s A LOT of anxious energy. Pranayama tends to feel quite distressful. My head always feels like it moving to one side or the other. My body is always moving from one angle to another and conistently have so much anxious energy I can’t stay still. Its like th anxiety you see in a 5 year old with ADHD and trying to make him sit still and he tries to sit still, which is ironic since I have adhd ?

You’re lecturing Leo about how he’s wrong and deluded for saying his teachings are advanced because of the trap of thinking one is hot shit in yet you’re blabbering about how you’re some living master (lol) whose risen above traditions and are preaching at Leo becaue you’re superior in your consciousness and understanding... if that’s not a shadow I don’t know what is. -
kieranperez replied to playdoh's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
If we didn’t live in a society that didn’t value profit or make it of much significance there would be no social or survival infrastructure to even have that event. Watch out for having this collective Green shadow on profit. Green has a lot of pathologies. A lot of the “love” Green expresses is out of sense of social conformity and forced still and can turn ethnocentric. -
