	  Solace replied to Solace's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God @pluto@Quanty "The Spiritual Heart is not the heart chakra (anahatta). In true kundalini teachings, there is no such place as the "heart chakra", it is called the Anahatta. "Heart chakra" is a New Age term based on the location of this chakra - but not the actual characteristics of the chakra. In the chakra body there are no physical organs. The Spiritual Heart is located in the causal body and is the deepest energy center in a human." "There are 3 centers in the causal layer of our being - behind the eyes (physical dimension awareness), in the throat (dreaming awareness) and in the heart area (deepest self / dreamless sleep). In genuine meditation a person takes their attention and descends it into the heart area to awaken the experience of the deepest layer of the self." In response to a viewer: "No, I learned about the Spiritual Heart directly from the Higher Self. It was the first time I ever learned of this energy center, even though I had studied hundreds of spiritual teachings for many years. The Spiritual Heart is a relatively unknown aspect of our selves. After experiencing the Spiritual Heart center in myself, I later learned that a few other spiritual teachers knew and taught of this center. I consider it the most significant aspect of the human being." The result of focused attention "First it may begin as a energetic embrace that is comforting and soothing. Then it will grow, increasing in the feeling of peace. As it grows, it become Love and feeling of oneness with the Source within and also the world around us. Then it becomes a powerful bliss." And especially for your interest @Quanty this quote shows how the spiritual heart is directly linked to kundalini: "There are 3 knots in yoga - called grandhis. One knot is located in the Anahata (heart) chakra. Meditating on the Spiritual Heart (in the causal body) will help to untie all 3 knots in the charka body. Ultimately, the Spiritual Heart energy draws the mind stream back into the Self / Source Consciousness." I also love this cherry picked quote from Lincoln! "The most delicious experience we can have is when we realize the Divine Love within our Spiritual Heart and then choose to live from this state in this world." -Lincoln Gergar This man used to study and practice Zen Buddhism, meditating as the awareness of the no self. He then realized that although he was calm with no thoughts, very few emotions, there was a "lack" (which he said wasn't a lack in the conventional sense, more so a deep knowingness) that there was "more" that being the quality of pure love in the center of our hearts. This stuff is practically unknown to anyone, even advanced yogis, but here it is thanks to Lincoln. I have meditated on the heart, and felt myself merge into oneness just Yesterday. It is thus, so so important for the world to know this, so I at least want you guys to look more into it It's simplest and the most powerful technique, perfect for our society to come into greater alignment with the divine higher selves they already are. Thank you. Here's a meditation I'll do now for fun, and to explore this deeper if you guys want:

	  Dogsbestfriend replied to lmfao's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God See you would think this, and I could both believe they exist or don't - but the sensations are there man.. even gone so far as to have tests and MRIs because I thought they must be based on something physical. And yet no nothing, and they appear with mediation. Are they chakras? Honestly I've stopped caring about calling them anything specific. I experience a level of bliss that drugs have never been able to deliver... so if that's a placebo... fck I'll take it.

	WaterfallMachine replied to Arkandeus's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God You seem to be in the Bliss stage as talked about in Tara Branch’s book Stairways to Heaven. Basically, it talks about that sensitive stage just before enlightenment when you’re much more emotional and moody than usual or the kundalini awakening as they call it. See it as spiritual puberty maybe — where every hidden emotion and insecurity submerged under your unconsciousness is suddenly brought into light — to force a deep emotional change and revolution to you. Extremely painful, but after it might be the greatest healing in your life. I recommend you go read books by Tara Branch soon — if your vibration is that strong, then I bet you’re in that stage. Send me a PM if you’d like, though I’ll be a bit busy these next few days so don’t expect something so soon. Take care.

	  Dodo replied to Arkandeus's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God Please do a body-dwelling meditation in which you become aware of the sensations of your body parts. This practice, coupled with the practice of deep breath and breath awareness make the mind silent. That's when you cannot experience suffering. If you keep doing it and keep returning to the sensations / breath after your mind starts to wander, eventually you will become enlightened. It's simple, because you have all you need for that practice always right here right now. And you can use it to calm yourself down and experience that bliss we are talking about. It's about focusing your attention more on your life and not so much on your life situation. In the end it's all a big dream, so it only matters while the dream is happening. Enjoying yourself in the now through these meditations drastically reduces suffering. You can enjoy yourself in the now though many things, but what makes meditation special is that you don't need anything external to do it. It's the answer.

	@Why? Did you have a stage where you had a breakthrough and felt a sense of bliss, euphoria, etc? If so, you are in the Dark Night phase that follows the Arising and Passing stage. Daniel Ingram's book explains it and how to move past it. Its a necessary stage but can last a long time and be debilitating if not handled skillfully.

	  pluto replied to WildeChilde's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God I was having awakenings daily, quiet in nature as i had experienced extremes in my whole life so it was kind of a natural feeling for me like i was finally coming home but one day the awakenings stopped and something complete/infinitely more profound occurred. The experience was so profound it was beyond any physical expression. I remained mute in absolute bliss, pure ecstasy without the excitement, pure knowing, pure understanding. I simply became the embodiment of the one infinite creator. I cannot exactly say how long this lasted as it felt like i was here but also not here all at once, nowhere yet everywhere. I wish i had the words to explain in detail, it is pure magic.

	Hi everyone, I'm a 31 year old male from Scotland. This is my second post on this forum. I'm looking for some help with some things in my life so I'm gonna tell you a bit about myself and hopefully you can relate and edify me. So I've watched between 50-100 of Leo's videos. A lot of the stuff he talks about I already knew, but I've also learned a lot from him. He's a great teacher. I've been on the spiritual path since I was 16 after having an out of body experience. It inspired me to attempt astral projection which I was never particularly successful at. When I went to university I read a lot about spirituality. I felt an amazing sense of oneness with the world and walked about in a state of pure bliss, just taking in the beauty of the world. I was also at the time experimenting with psychoactives, such as cannabis, MDMA, and salvia. Sometimes I could literally see the connection between EVERYTHING, and it was beautiful. However, things took a turn for the worse. The drugs brought out a lot of previously unconscious material and I started getting extremely paranoid and depressed. I heard voices once, and started researching schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. I had to move back home to my parents and eventually got kicked out due to my angry outbursts. I was furious with the emotional abuse my family had inflicted upon me. I was homeless for a couple of years and then I got sectioned in a mental hospital, where I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. I spent 7 years in mental hospitals and homeless units. During that time I became addicted to amphetamine like drugs and also tried heroin. I became so depressed I could barely walk or leave my bed. I eventually got better thanks in part to reading Eckhart Tolle books. Also my mother died, which was a big relief for me as I didn't have to worry about her suffering as she had been ill all my life. Plus she couldn't force her agenda on me any longer. A sense of peace and lightness came back to me. I was discharged into a place of my own in Feb 2017 and am still here. I have been clean from drugs for 5 years and the symptoms of my illness are greatly reduced. I still get depressed sometimes but nothing like before, and I have a handle on my paranoid delusions. My Dad visits me sometimes. I find it literally impossible not to get angry with him. He was sexually inappropriate with me when I was younger which I found hard to admit for all my life. I have come to the conclusion that it was mainly my parents who caused my mental health problems. Leo has inspired me to get serious about my spiritual practice again and I have been meditating every day for a couple of months. It's difficult though because my upstairs neighbour is quite noisy. Also the area I live in is rife with drug users and people with other addictions so it's hard not to fall back into that trap. I smoke and drink sometimes which seems inevitable. I am now in a pretty good situation for practising meditation and spirituality because I have a lot of spare time and I don't have to worry about my finances. However I feel disconnected from the world because of the medication I am on (antipsychotics). So I'm looking for advice. How can I get more deeply into this work with the issues I face? - My anger is having a huge negative impact on my life (it's not just with my dad) /My medication greatly reduces the pleasure I get from life / I can't seem to stop drinking and smoking. Any help is very much appreciated. ? Edit: I'm thinking I should find a physical community where I can practice, as I don't know anyone else in my area who seems as serious as me about attaining enlightenment.

	  Colin replied to Ether's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God numbness is actually one of the main side effects I hear about from antidepressants. This is not what you want. You want bliss, happiness, joy.

	  Solace replied to Sempiternity's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God You’ll get there the more you cultivate more love, gratitude and appreciation for life. Your nervous system just can sustain this high vibe yet until you start loving yourself. Then it feels safe to expand. So outside of meditation cultivate more love, more abundance, more joy, more bliss in every second through affirmations, through feeling as if you already have accomplished your dreams, through moving towards what you love. This will slowly relax the nervous system my friend, you just need to trust that love will do this on your behalf, lots of trust Look into Matt Kahn for a deeper explaination if that excites you!

	My first experience of Truth was on a high dose of psilocybin mushrooms. I had never even heard of any concepts of enlightenment at the time. I left my body and went to a place where everything was one. No sense of Self. There was no life or death. I felt that if I didn't go back, which would be body death, it wouldn't matter. Everything made sense, I knew everything. It was bliss on a higher level I thought possible. That night I continued to leave my body at will and go that place, sometimes for hours. Then I did ayahuasca. Again I went to that place of infinite everything, yet nothing. I easily go to that place, no effort. But shortly after I come back, there's a sadness that it's only temporary. And my life goes on unchanged. Why do some people get permanently Awakened after experiencing Truth and others do not? What can I do next time I go there, or shortly after I come back, to become fully Awakened?

	@D13g0 the best way to handle fear is to stare it right in the face and just do it. You’ll be surprised to see that on the other side of fear is bliss. Tell yourself “fuck it” and just do it! ?

	  Torkys replied to Ether's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God You must have mild suffering you aren't yet aware of. If you were in total resistancelessness, you would be in rapture, beauty, and bliss no matter what. This state seems to be not unconditional. Sink into it and discover what it truly is. Unconditional presence unveils Truth.

	You have to create another being, consolidate the ego to feel the bliss. If you feel stuck is because you did not include other parts of the body and you stick to a certain pattern of belief, emotions and muscle strain.

	  Prabhaker replied to egoless's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God Just like the Christian trinity, Hindus also have a trinity (Trimurti, three faces of the God) - Brahma, the creator god; Vishnu, the god who maintains the world; and Shiva, who will destroy the world. This is a cycle. Then Brahma creates the world again, and for millions of years Vishnu maintains it; then one day Shiva destroys it. The Buddhist doctrine talks about - Buddhist trinity (Trikaya) - Buddha’s three bodies. The first body is called the body of truth, the universal body, the divine body. You can call it God. The second body is called the bliss body – the bridge between the first and the third. You can call it the soul. And the third body is the physical body.

	  Dogsbestfriend replied to WaterfallMachine's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God Believe emotions themselves are rarely negative, it's in relation to what that you are feeling them when they are 'negative' or not. It's completely normal to feel sadness about losing someone, nor would I want to stop that feeling when it's appropriate as it's part of processing what's happened. I also don't think enlightenment is pure happiness. I do experience various levels of bliss when meditating now, which I assume are more intense when you are fully enlightened? I know the definition of bliss is perfect happiness, but it feels different and don't have another word.. bliss for me feels incredibly 'good' but also.. colder/calmer and sometimes accompanied by tingling sensations.

	  George Paul replied to George Paul's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God @Alex bliss Yes and no. At this point there is no need to ask a realized being. And that's because what I want is to prevent importing a material abstract artificial concept to the world of infinity. So, before asking a realized being about the intelligence of infinity, I propose not even open mouth speaking about it, what about making a full movie about this. Lol, and I am talking about it all day

	I asked myself when my individual existence began, and many revelations came to me in a very intense and personal and experiential manner. I'll just share a few here. I started seeing my existence not just in "the one who created the stuff" but also in "the stuff that was created" in equal degree. The thought "This is the best I could do" kept coming up over and over again, with a sense of shyness but also intense pride and joy, like the way it feels when you share your most beautiful work of art with a loved one. The tone of that statement totally lost any sense of shame or inadequacy. I totally stopped hating and demonizing my ego, as I had been doing for the past few months, viewing it as a disability, a hindrance to my awakening. Instead realized this "mechanism", the "flawed interface" I have with which I interact with reality is the best design possible, and the very means I am using to transcend my "self" and become my "Self". Realized every bit of "stuff" that is in my room was deliberately consciously chosen or created or designed or arranged by me. It is a perfect reflection of me, and this is ALWAYS the case, whether I am conscious of it or not. Similarly, realized the same thing about my body, how I sculpted and created it consciously, first at a macro level (I lost a huge amount of weight recently, elongated my eyelashes naturally, plumped up lips, fixed flat foot, etc) but I could intuit the same would be true at micro levels too. Today's video about Infinite Intelligence immediately caused me to recall that day. What Leo said about me creating everything, setting it all up, then forgetting I did it really rhymed with the realizations of that day. Will share a picture of what I wrote out on my whiteboard on that day. It really was mind boggling when I realized it at first but the "isolating loneliness" transformed into total bliss. I did this much!! So there's no need for me to limit what else is possible for me going forward x) <3

	I recently did a blood test, and everything was in balance. I'm not deficient in anything I love how you don't count your calories as that sets you up for the most natural transition in your diet. I didn't either until about 3 weeks ago out of curiosity. Defiantly slowly adding more raw fruits, and vegetables and nuts and seeds will benefit you in more ways than one, including stable energy levels, and a clearer mind. The alkalinity will prevent unnecessary strong emotions from arising too. The super foods really make a big difference so include them, especially Spirulina you must try. Thank you for the reply. As a side note, living on this "low" amount of food that I do really makes me conscious of the emotions in my body. This is because not only does food feed the physical body, but also the emotional and mental body when we don't provide those bodies with love. It's a little uncomfortable, but with love as my response to any emotion I feel, I'm sure this will help heal the emotions there, leading to bliss in that area. I'll be sure to update!

	  pluto replied to Salvijus's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God First of all.. everything is spiritual. Everyone, knowingly or unknowingly is here to ultimately wake up to their true self/Enlightenment without having the infinite intelligence available that is default in spirit/oneness. Some people go through hell all their lives then have a spiritual awakening(never practicing modern so called "spirituality") and its all absolute bliss for them while others have illusory happy lives then find spirituality/truth then need to go through the truth they never saw and experience the darkness they never truly faced to reach Enlightenment. Others already have before they got onto a "spiritual path"(so to speak) but one way or another, its always been a spiritual path. We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

	Vercingetorix replied to Vercingetorix's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God @Dodo @MarkusSweden why is it madness? do you think Leo is mad? maybe you are stuck in the materialist paradigm? I would like to point out that for me, it's a serious issue. of course, it's ok to joke about it sure, but I don't feel that you help me by only calling it madness or posting comics... @Malelekakis what do you mean that I do not exist? as an ego\body? if so I agree, it is also my experience. but if you mean that I don't exist even as the witness\ consciousness I do not have such experiences. my experience is that I can exist "alone" as consciousness. how do you know it has a good ending (after death?) I agree that in this life I can find happiness and bliss by being present in the now, but I don't think it's wise to neglect what happens after.

	  Isaac Ben replied to WildeChilde's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God @WildeChilde That's really interesting and it's true, I've never seen Goku as someone who's righteous and trying to save the world. He was just following his bliss and doing what he wants. It emphasizes on how important authenticity is. Ahhhh the feels . This was probably my best soundtrack in childhood.

	My motivation for spiritual growth has dwindled in the last 6 months. I work and see a lot of progress in the outer world - with girls and pick up, with my self-esteem, with emotions mastery, communication - I have high levels of motivation for this stuff. But not so much for anything "beyond". I barely meditate, barely practice yoga, and do not engage so much in spiritual knowledge and practice. Although my highest values are freedom, truth and love, I see that I am in kind of a fear to pursue truth. the reason is, that I feel as I have glimpsed the truth, and "didn't like" what I've seen ( in my 3 ayahuasca sessions, I will attend another session in a few days) My fear is similar to what is described in the recent topic about solipsism here (for some time I wanted to ask Leo about this topic but his reply in this thread "confirmed" my suspicions about it, I had a very strong surge of fear and loneliness when I read his reply). In a way, it's a stupid topic to discuss with "others". because even just trying to explain to you people the topic forces me to be under the "others exist" illusion. writing here to you guys I have to assume that you exist and I can gain value from discussing with you, that even If "I" alone exist, "you" do seem to experience the same stuff and can help me. I can't wrap my head around it. If I knew for sure that I alone exist my course of action in my life will be different than if others exist. (will be more focused on me than on others). also If I act as if I alone exist people may think that I am mad and even if it's true it's seems something that I have to hide to an extent. So I feel like I am kinda stuck. that If I alone exist I can't really trust others reports about spiritual experiences, only my own, and so far for me, it seems to reveal an uncomfortable truth about me being alone, and not stuff like unconditional love, total bliss... Always when I came back from my psychedelic experiences I was very happy, but only because I returned to safety, to a place where others exist and I'm not alone. I'm so happy to return to the "worldly illusion". So why should I pursue this path? why not enjoy this illusion while it lasts? it's not so bad here after all. On the other hand, I read and hear about all the progress and experiences people are having with spirituality and "envy" them, and for most things, It seems that others experiences can be trusted and mirror mine. but again, when the "truth" of solipsism really hits me, and I surrender to it fully, I really accept that I'm alone, it seems that every piece of knowledge from others collapse, that I can't trust Leo experiences or any others, I feel truly alone. And then I'm afraid because I feel that I am groping in the dark, in the unknown, and what little I have in my life I may lose so I better stick to it. another point, Is that I can't fathom how to talk to others about this topic ( as you can see here...) how can I address this Issue? it's A fucking paradox. If my experience is that "only I exist" and my experience so far in life is that even if others don't exist it seems as they exist "like me" so I have to address anyone else as if he alone exist If I want him to understand me. and this forces me to see the world as if "others exist". I want so deeply to believe that ultimately at the end all there is is unfinite love, that the story of life has a "good ending", but I fear it is not so, That ultimately I'm here alone, responsible to all that is happening, trapped here... edit: Just watched Leo's solo retreat part 2 from 26:50, And it's almost exactly my experience and conclusions.
