The keyword here is ! transcend ! Which is not so simple as you think, i assume. If you could just "delete" religion starting from tomorrow, it may cause more harm than good. Religion is a way to find common values and therefore unite people. Thats what Spiral Dynamics tells you too. Without religion, some people would just revert to Stage Red. The whole Gender war shebang is an interesting example from the Western World. Religion used to tell you about these values and now, where religion is not important in the culture anymore, its a source of all kinds of issues. Now in opposition of many, i dont think its the sign of downfall of western culture, exactly because we are working ourself through an important problem, whereas before, with religion you were kind of just told by culture how to be. BUT it is easy ? No! Do we have issues because of it ? Yes! Now that is a problem from the rich Western countries, just imagine what would the abolishment of religion in the Middle East do.

A little treat i thought i would share with you guys for some reason

Could you elaborate on that ? Im interested why do you think that.

Where do you guys find Leo's communication aggressive ? Do you mean in the videos ? I would say he is brutally honest in them but not aggressive and he has stated before that he's examples he brings are deliberately on the "offensive" side too so he can poke at your ego. Or do you mean on the forum ? Im only asking, because if you think he is aggressive in he's videos, i would point out that there is a difference between aggressive and brutally honest.

+1

You guys are being needy and proving the point that you are not mature enough to get the video. Truth be told you dont need Leo to get enlightened. But you are not serious about it... then why cry so bad about this video.

@Joel3102 Mans gotta function on multiple levels at the same time. If hes youtube channel gets in trouble because of the comments its not worth it. Or if he deems it too dangerous..

I literally just got the notification ... Maybe make it available somehow for a smaller audience ?!

@Nahm Thanks dude! Good advice, just by trying to word the question in english, it made me thinking about it. So for anyone who reads this topic, Leo explains the thing i was misunderstanding in his video: What is perception @32:00-36:00 min. Ofc you are better off watching (and rewatching) the whole video. @Truth Addict I recently watched a documentary about Sri Ramana Maharshi, it is pretty interesting if you are interested in spirituality and it might help you.

@Truth Addict If i had to answer you i would say ultimately thats true, since in the end everything is one. BUT you got the main thing wrong. Your Ego is not the True Self, which is Being. Sorry i dont got too much time right now, gonna explain it better later. Or you know, Leo will explain it to you.

@Leo Gura Ahaaa, i get it then. This factual error on a logical level shows me my understanding is still surface level, even tho i feel like im quite good at this pratice. This is why the forum is useful to us. Thank you!!

So perception = experience - ego, right ? In which case perception = Being. But Leo said in the new What is Truth video, that Truth is not experience and is not perception either. Did he mean: 1.) Truth is not perception as a deluded materialist perceives the world, or 2.) Consciousness is not the same thing as perception, even if perception means it is already without the Ego. Like in the Screen of the TV and the movie thats being played example. P.S. (not important) I follow Leo and this forum for several years now, but this is my first post. Reason being because i always thought finding out the answer yourself is way more powerful. But of course getting teaching, help and scaffolding has a huge significance too! (Noone could find the techniques and teachings out themself with our lifestyle) So i just wanted to say Hi to everybody and thanks for being awesome - especially for Leo, you changed my life forever, but maybe i will write about this in another post. With Love - Sandroew P.S.S (also not important) I cant sleep right now because of this, but i need to go to work tomorrow (today lol). I hope you guys will clarify me this one or else i have to contemplate on this (or meditate) for a long time.
