Here you go. Leo explains it here: https://www.actualized.org/insights/just-scaffolding

@Anna1 It's so great that we can communicate effectively on here. Language is so ambiguous and it takes a great tight-rope walker to keep meaning in check. There is so much room for projection and argumentation in communication via writing.

@SOUL That only resonates with the monkey-mind perspective.

@Natasha You are the awareness of experience. And the increasing consciousness. You as a process of increasing awareness.

@Natasha When I see the limits of existence when I meditate I smile and think. Wow, it's just this easy! This is all there is? Cool! Nothing to worry about. We all exist in a small, plain, white room -- even if we don't realize it. The space of the soul.

@Anna1 You need to burn-out need to know. That takes as long as it needs to take for each person. Paradoxically, it is by knowing a lot that you come to the conclusion of the limits of knowing. Otherwise you're just a dogmatist, because it is not first-person knowledge for you.

Here's the thing. You need a huge amount of theory to become enlightened. This is the taboo truth that a lot of people do not want to admit. And you know what, let's stop bullshitting ourselves about this. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the end of this stupid denial. Why the hell are we perpetuating some anti-theory perspective on enlightenment? Enlightenment can be explained in a pamphlet. I've seen it done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jnana_yoga Hare Krishna dancers in Florence. I saw this when I was there. Changed my life. Florence. You're crazy not to go there at least once. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence

Go for it. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. I live in San Francisco so I've seen everything.
