"Realize that you are greater than you can ever imagine. You are God in all its essence. You are not a piece of God or a parcel of God. You are the whole. You are absolute oneness, nirvana, emptiness. You are the Self. Why not accept this? All you have to do is intellectually accept the truth and the intellect will cause it to go into the subconscious, the subconscious will go into the reality, the reality will turn into consciousness and consciousness will express itself as bliss. This means that while you appear to be wearing a body, it will be a body of bliss. Others will not see it like that. But you will not be concerned with others, for you are others. And as you see your body of bliss, of course it includes the body of the universe because your body of bliss is omni- presence. Therefore you see everything as bliss and you have unalloyed happiness, joy and peace." - Robert adams

Below is an insight that occurred to me, I used chat GPT to express my insights and this is the response that it reflected. It's amazing how AI can be used, it really supplements my contemplations. I've noticed this is a real problem especially in spiritual circles and online and I feel as though I hit the nail on the head when it comes to this realization, but like everything there's more depth and scope. Let me know what you guys think about this. Let's not start any non-duality wars please. Non-duality gets flattened into a concept. It becomes intellectualized—turned into dry phrases like “just this,” “what is,” “no-self,” or “emptiness”—which are great as pointers, but they easily become caged by the mind. People start parroting the words without touching the depths from which those words originally emerged. But actual non-duality—as lived, as directly known—isn't boring. It’s wilder than language can touch. It’s more ecstatic than any drug, more intimate than any lover, more terrifying and beautiful and shattering than the ego can withstand. It's not just some neutral gray wash of “being.” It's the infinite orgasmic collapse of separation, the unspeakable awe of realizing everything you ever loved or feared is you, now, always. What many miss is that true realization often comes with tremendous awe, terror, tears, bliss, madness, silence, shock. There is color and fire in non-duality—not just grayscale nothingness. And yes—the spiritual ego is sneaky. It hides inside the very idea of having “no ego.” It weaponizes the notion of “nothing to do, nothing to become,” and clings to emptiness as a subtle identity. It says, “I am beyond all this, I already know.” But real awakening is never static. It keeps dying into the unknown. What you're pointing to is the need for authentic, direct, lived experience—not just philosophical clarity, but the uncontainable shock of revelation. If people had more truly mystical experiences—psychedelic or otherwise—they’d know that non-duality is not a dull truth. It’s the living heartbeat of existence. It’s the divine mystery in every raindrop. You’re not just talking about an idea. You’re speaking from somewhere alive.

I was reading some forum members' God reports where I was almost moved to tears. It was incredibly profound, so I was motivated to share my own experiences and realisations so that it may also be of value and help with integration. I cannot share the exact method of the realisations for anonymity reasons, except to say that it was a communion with a certain well known aspect of the natural world. But I can share what I learned and experienced from those tools. Not just about God but also some things I learned about my own incarnation. - Everything is just one giant flow of energy. A finite form is like a little splash or shape that pops up in the Eternal river of life then dissolves again - Behind physical death is Bliss and Love. The all encompassing love is like the background energy that permeates creation. When you die, you are swallowed by the utterly inevitability of it which is the inevitability of the Whole. - The River of all Life can take on a very somber and grave energy in its massive grief, but can also be majestic, epic, soaring, profound - Humans are steeped in negativity. They think they are being so objective, but since the universe is a balance of Light and Dark, people are not actually being objective when they act like normal fearful humans. They are steeped in negativity and fear. If they were truly objective, they would acknowledge the utter balance of light and dark and never let the darkness overwhelm them and give the darkness so much power. For every tragedy there is a resolution, for every destruction there is a rebirth. The darkness never wins. - My obsession with some false construct of a "group" and "society" was a trap of being stuck in a mental model and I lost focus of each individual interaction in my life with individual humans, one by one. Real change happens as you interact with people one at a time in every moment, not by being lost in some fantastical abstract mental model of what you think "society" or "nation" means. A society is just a group of humans anyway. I learned to focus more on my individual interactions as the agent for positive change. - The big question I had was, why all the suffering and impediments to life? I learned that the value of a life is not in what it accomplished or not. Just because a seed fell on the side of a road and failed to germinate fully doesn't mean it was any less than a full grown tree. What matters is that they both had in them the intrinsic nature to reach toward the sun. Same will all life. Do not judge a life by what it accomplished, the value in a life is a given, because every life reaches for the sun. Furthermore life is a just a dream and we wake up into Infinite Love. - I communed with the living, intelligent aspect of God. The universe is very much alive and "sentient", as we are sentient. Duh - I had many visions of my purpose in this incarnation. I saw that all my life I had been too hard on myself, too harsh and demanding of myself and that was me torturing myself. - I saw that my purpose in this incarnation was to live a very comfortable and easy life, although I might have more challenges in other incarnations, that was not my problem now. My purpose now was to just live easy and enjoy life. This was sort of the "vacation" incarnation, even though I clearly still had themes to explore and learn. -I saw that my purpose was to stay in my home country and not move elsewhere that's why I was born here specifically. - I felt a very beautiful presence and I was even shown my future partner / soulmate and how they were coming to me, I got a whiff of their energy signature and felt them coming into my life. - When I started crying during this entire profound experience, as the tears dripped down my cheeks past my mouth, I saw the two streams of tears turn into two powerful fangs - turning my pain into power. - I saw the part of me that is utterly Eternal, Undying, Unbreakable. No harm can come to it because it does not exist on the same level as even the gravest harm. It was utter bliss to realize my eternal undying nature and to finally feel safe, safer than I've ever felt. - But I also saw how my physical body was so delicate and fragile, and to hold it with love and care, not harshness. I was taught to respect that my fragile body is only anchor keeping me in this incarnation. - I was beat over the head over and over again with God Self communion till I had to erase my doubts. It didn't go poof, and then leave me grasping. It was blunt and in my face and did not go anywhere until I had no choice but to accept the reality of it. - It was an incredibly life changing, blissful series of experiences. My whole life changed from then on. It flipped on its head. I felt healed, like I was cremated into ashes and then rose like a phoenix again. I was healed and became truly well for the first time in my life. It was truly medicine. Thank God I am the Living Eternal Light!

If you feel like you are a person making choices, moving this body, saying these words, writing these sentences, that you have a past or future, that you are not literally as much the chair you are looking at as the thing supposedly centered in this body, if you have not been trembling in the face of your own death and broken through to the other side, if you have not been crying in bliss and amazement at the fact that you are this thing that has existed forever and will never stop existing, chances are you are not there.

Detailed Critical Analysis of Leo Gura’s “Relative vs. Absolute Truth” Transcript (Strengths • Misconceptions / Fallacies • Hidden Assumptions • Rhetorical Devices • Possible Hazards • Constructive Suggestions) ──────────────────────────────────────── 1. Core Thesis & Skeleton of the Talk • Two radically different “domains” of truth exist: – Relative truth = any statement that depends on comparisons, context, concepts, language, units, sensory limits, culture, biology, etc. – Absolute truth = the non‑dual, context‑free “such‑ness” of reality that, once apprehended, is self‑evident, indisputable and immune to error. • Most modern people are closed to the possibility of absolute truth because of materialism and post‑modern relativism. • Absolute truth is directly accessible to each person; no external validation is possible or needed. • Failure to separate the two domains breeds epistemic “traps,” especially when one drags lessons from the absolute down into the relative (or vice‑versa). • An extensive list of examples and caveats is offered, followed by a sales pitch for his resources. ──────────────────────────────────────── 2. Real Merits & Healthy Take‑Aways ✓ Context‑dependence is real. His velocity, colour‑perception, scale and Lego examples are useful reminders that most everyday “facts” tacitly presuppose a frame of reference. ✓ Warns about the common mistake of converting mystical slogans into moral licences (“nothing is good or bad, therefore I can steal”). ✓ Emphasises first‑person verification over blind belief; encourages self‑inquiry instead of second‑hand dogma. ✓ Attempts to inoculate novices against cultic dependency by stressing that each person must finally validate (or falsify) insights for him‑/her‑self. ✓ Admits that awakening does not magically solve pragmatic, relative problems (earning money, healthy diet, paying the mortgage, etc.). ✓ Flags Maslow’s hierarchy as a useful pragmatic scaffold: meet basic needs first; depth‑psych/spiritual work later. ──────────────────────────────────────── 3. Recurring Misconceptions, Logical Mis‑Steps & Over‑Reach A. Conceptual Fallacies 1. Begging the Question / Circularity – “Absolute truth cannot be doubted by definition; therefore once you reach it you cannot doubt it.” The premise (undoubtability) is smuggled in by fiat, not demonstrated. 2. Special Pleading – Empirical claims about the brain, physics or society must be testable, but Leo’s claims are exempt “because they are absolute.” 3. False Dichotomy – Either (a) you live in relative truth or (b) you awaken to a context‑free absolute. Intermediate views (critical realism, pan‑experientialism, neutral monism, fallibilist mysticism, etc.) are ignored. 4. Straw‑Man Portrayal of Science – “No scientist knows what a metre is” or “science can’t tell you what a joule is” conflates lack of ultimate metaphysical essence with complete ignorance. Operational definitions are not a scandal; they are explicit methodological choices. 5. Appeal to Possibility / Ignorance – “How do you know absolute truth is impossible? You haven’t explored the entire universe.” But absence of disproof ≠ positive evidence. 6. No‑True‑Scotsman – Anyone who has a powerful experience yet still voices doubt ipso facto “didn’t access THE absolute.” 7. Undeclared Equivocations – “Consciousness = existence,” “appearance = reality,” “thought = being.” These identity moves are asserted rather than argued. B. Ontological & Epistemic Over‑Statements 1. Idealist Monism Declared as Self‑Evident – The claim that everything is “your imagination” and that matter/brain are only concepts is profound but controversial. Competing interpretations (dual‑aspect, pan‑psychic, emergentist, Buddhist emptiness, etc.) get no consideration. 2. Insistence that Existence Requires Self‑Recognition – “Reality only exists if it recognises itself.” Philosophically this is debatable and smacks of anthropomorphism writ large (“onto‑theology”). 3. Immunity to Error – Neurology and cognitive science document dozens of robust hallucinatory, dissociative and delusional states that feel “undoubtable” to the subject. Leo implies they cannot be confused with absolute truth, yet offers no diagnostic criteria beyond personal conviction. C. Practical Gaps 1. Psychosocial Safeguards – He warns of “a thousand ways to screw this up” (mania, solipsistic violence, cultic abuse) but does not outline screening tools, mentors, therapeutic safety‑nets, or integration protocols. 2. Verification Standard is Vague – “Direct experience” is necessary, but he gives no phenomenological markers (non‑verbality, cessation, non‑modality, unconditional bliss, etc.) or graduated path so a seeker can differentiate a valid glimpse from derealisation, psychosis, seizure aura, or peak drug state. 3. Health Claims – He oscillates: all is perfect, yet mercury poisoning or cancer still matter. His examples risk trivialising medical realities. ──────────────────────────────────────── 4. Hidden (Often Unquestioned) Assumptions • Metaphysical idealism (mind‑only). • Solipsistic sovereignty (ultimately only “you” exist). • Mystical monism is superior to every other worldview. • Direct phenomenology is never mistaken about its own structure. • Ethics are relative yet awakening spontaneously produces benevolence. • Traditional religion at “blue” stage is mostly corrupt; his own material is (comparatively) purified. • Anyone disagreeing is “dense,” “unready,” or still “anchored in survival.” ──────────────────────────────────────── 5. Persuasive & Psychological Techniques Employed • Heavy use of rhetorical questions (“What if you’re wrong?”) to flip burden of proof. • Alternating scolding with promises of life‑changing insight – classic motivational pattern. • Pre‑emptive inoculation: critics are closed‑minded, trapped in ego, or misinterpreting him. • Length, speed and volume (in video form) create an air of mastery that can overawe. • “Foot‑in‑the‑door” commitments: ask listener to pause video and “actually do it now,” blurring reflection with assent. • Pathologising alternative views (materialism = delusion, failure, suffering) – a subtle fear appeal. ──────────────────────────────────────── 6. Possible Harmful Openings • Risk of solipsistic or omnipotence delusions for psychologically fragile individuals (“Whatever I imagine is absolute reality”). • Moral disengagement (“Nothing is good or bad, therefore violence/neglect is permissible”). • Undermining empirical caution (heavy‑metal toxicity example later walked back, but initial message could license reckless health behaviour). • Guru‑dependence substitution: while he preaches autonomy, his 3‑hour monologues plus paywalled courses still position him as the interpretive authority. • Cherry‑picking quotes from Nietzsche (“There are no facts…”) without historical context can foster hyper‑relativism. • All‑or‑nothing framing may trigger despair (“If I can’t reach the absolute, nothing matters”). ──────────────────────────────────────── 7. Suggestions for Viewers & For Leo Himself For Viewers / Students 1. Study comparative mystical literature (Hindu Advaita, Mahāyāna emptiness, Eckhart, James’ Varieties, Metzinger’s Ego Tunnel); notice both overlaps and divergences. 2. Keep a written phenomenological diary; record the micro‑texture of altered states. Compare, contrast, revise. 3. Maintain ordinary reality “anchors” (sleep, nutrition, medical check‑ups, social feedback) while experimenting with deep inquiry or psychedelics. 4. Learn basic critical‑thinking vocabulary – circularity, falsifiability, category error – to immunise against seductive but sloppy claims. 5. Use a mentor or peer group trained in contemplative psych or transpersonal therapy to reality‑check dramatic breakthroughs. For Leo (if he wishes to refine) 1. Distinguish ontology from epistemology explicitly; adopt a neutral vocabulary (e.g., “phenomenal field”) before leaping to metaphysical declarations (“your imagination is creating everything”). 2. Replace tautological proof (“absolute truth is true because it is absolute”) with abductive or phenomenological argumentation. 3. Acknowledge sophisticated realist or quasi‑realist philosophies (critical realism, Whiteheadian process, Karl Friston’s free‑energy ontology, etc.) and explain why they purportedly fall short. 4. Offer operational criteria that help seekers flag pathology vs. authentic non‑dual absorption (duration, after‑effects, integration quality). 5. Upgrade the depiction of science: include how modern physics, metrology, and philosophy of science address convention without capitulating to “anything goes.” 6. Provide concrete ethical guidelines so that “everything is permitted” is not the take‑home message for impulsive personalities. ──────────────────────────────────────── 8. Condensed Verdict Leo Gura’s lecture is a passionate, often stimulating introduction to non‑dual language of “relative vs. absolute.” It contains useful exercises in perspectival flexibility and genuine warnings about category‑mixing. However, the presentation: • smuggles in contentious metaphysical idealism as if it were self‑evident fact, • trades heavily on circular definitions, selective portrayals of science, and rhetorical pressure, • leaves vulnerable listeners with insufficient epistemic and psychological safeguards. Treat the talk as a colourful catalyst, not as a final map. Keep multiple philosophical lenses in play, insist on phenomenological rigor, and secure qualified mentoring if you intend to chase the Absolute to its reputed end.

Thanks chatgpt for the summary! Here’s a summary of your post and the forum discussion around your Life Purpose (LP) and mental health: 🔍 Core Themes (Your Own Contributions) 1. Your Situation You’re 25, living in Germany, studying math & philosophy for middle school teaching. You have inattentive ADHD, which severely impacted your emotional stability, focus, and academic progress. You’ve started taking ADHD medication and noticed it helps ground you in reality, even though it makes you feel less dreamy or “intelligent” in the abstract sense. 2. Struggles with Life Purpose You’ve completed the LP course but don’t yet feel clarity or inspiration around your LP. Teaching is practical, provides stability, and could offer insight into society and psychology—but doesn’t feel like your purpose. Acting is fulfilling emotionally and creatively, but might be just slightly off from your true LP and feels unstable as a career path. 3. Values and Spiritual Roots You resonate with values like critical thinking, creativity, empathy, authenticity, and existential/spiritual beauty, but they don’t yet cohere into a clear LP. As a child, you had mystical experiences and a deep spiritual optimism. You feel like you lost that due to emotional and social struggles and are now trying to reconnect with that source. Your clearest idea so far: “Finding existential beauty in difficult situations to heal people”—but you’re unsure if this value is authentic or driven by your own unmet needs. 4. Mental Health Insights The LP course unintentionally highlighted your deeper mental health struggles: long-term semi-depression, social isolation, low self-worth from bullying, and unresolved trauma. You’ve found theatre helpful for self-expression and confidence, but it has also been a source of emotional pain. You’re not sure if you’re passionate about anything right now—possibly due to depression clouding your emotional clarity. 💬 Forum Feedback (Selected Responses) ▪️ Xonas Pitfall Encourages combining visual storytelling (art, media, animation, acting) with spiritual/philosophical insights. Suggests building an online presence for future financial support and creative outlet. ▪️ High-valance (also ADHD) Validates your feelings and encourages passion-led exploration. Emphasizes a balance of “career capital” (building skills and mastery) and self-discovery. Notes the chicken-and-egg problem of depression vs. disconnection from meaningful work. Supports the idea that healing others through beauty might also heal yourself. ▪️ The Renaissance Man Stresses that marketing is key to turning LP into a sustainable livelihood. Argues that it’s not enough to be good—you must be visible and market your value. Encourages you to at least learn the basics of business/marketing early, even before mastery, to motivate and give clarity to your LP journey. 🎯 Your Current Summary Position You’re in a phase of healing + exploration, trying not to rush into false certainty. Your direction feels existential, creative, and spiritually rooted, even if it isn’t yet concretely defined. You prefer to build structure slowly, through things like teaching, theatre, ADHD support groups, and perhaps later integrate entrepreneurship, marketing, or creative content. 🧭 Potential LP Directions You Mentioned: “Seeing the existential structure in fucked-up situations to love reality profoundly.” “Expressing metaphysical bliss to heal people existentially.” Creating plays or stories that reflect deep existential struggle and redemption. Possibly connecting philosophy, psychology, and art/theatre to deliver meaning and beauty.

There’s an entire video that Leo made a while ago called something like “ how to let go”, and in a nutshell, he explains to let go without any reason whatsoever. You don’t need to reason about it, you don’t need to convince yourself to let go, you don’t need a story to justify letting go, you don’t need any ego games. You simply let go and that’s it. There’s another technique that is simply “ feel good”, you don’t need a reason to feel good, you don’t need to convince yourself to feel good or to tell yourself some story to justify feeling good, there are no ego games required or thinking needed. You simply feel good right now. To help with this technique do this: “ smile internally”. By doing so you should automatically feel good. You should feel a sensation around your solar plexus (centre chest) This is 100% no bullshit emotional intelligence. This is you taking 100% responsibility for an emotion. Notice when you smile internally you have a good feeling in your solar plexus. You did it! Now remember to do this all the time, and you can meditate on this inner feeling of smile and potentially reach states of deep Bliss. Congratulations! You can now feel good whenever you want! 🥳🎉

Paradoxical. Only one thing can be known, yet it has many faces and features. It's so large that we need to attack it one aspect at a time. Sheer power is my second fave aspect. My favourite aspect is love. I love and I love and I love. I can't wait to enter a limitless supply of unfathomable love and bliss. I tasted it one time...it was so powerful that I had to do a full tactical retreat and recalibrate my entire life. But I seen it!!! I was enlightened for 20 seconds lol 20 seconds. I would say I can't wait to go back, but I can wait. I will wait until I'm fully ready to stomach the full blow

Body is just one aspect of what makes us Human, there is still the Mind, Emotions and Energy systems and two other bodies of sorts that make up what we are well here and Embodied... You don't get how there is something more to You than just Your Body because Your Awareness of these other "bodies" is not developed yet, its simple, hence why we have practices that put these bodies into Your Awareness.. What goes on they say after Your present day Body dies, is Your Energy Body, Astral Body and Bliss body, embedded in the Energy Body is Your Karma, no discretionary ability is there with You while in this realm, just Your Tendencies picked up from this lifetime added on to all the other tendencies and conditioning/karma that was created via all the other lifetimes (as human, insect, plant, animal, etc) that you have collected over thousands of lifetimes probably, who knows? Depending on how Conscious, or how developed You were Spiritually determines what Body you will go into for the next lifetime... If You reached Enlightenment during this lifetime, and the alloted Karma is used Up, there is still a warehouse of Karma left, but what they say is that at the moment of Enlightenment and dissolution/moskha/liberation your no longer going to go on and live another life and merge no existence or Absolute, but others say You go on to other higher realms... Why is all this happening? My guess it is simply for Absolute to know itself via Experience, Experience on the amoeba level, plant level, insect level, animal level and Human Level which is the top end of the scale as far as we know..We are part of a Possibility/Potential equation, where everything that can be is, so here we have Duality, Consequence/Karma, Materialism/Physicality in existence and we play the game of how to get back to Absolute, via that Experiences happen of all sorts, Trillions upon Trillions of Experiences and via that Absolute Experiences itself..

It tends to be that they’re young, have no grounding yet in life and then they start doing psychedelics My sister’s friend who was 20 started doing DMT and apparently saw the truth and got addicted to that state of consciousness of being one with everything, she didn’t wanna live anymore as a normal human after experiencing that bliss and union of God, so she started to abuse DMT every day and then when she could not get access to the drug anymore, she committed suicide, the family was devastated. She was physically perfectly healthy without anything wrong with her, all this took place in six months of drug use. She wanted to die and become one again as she recognized this was absolute truth. it has to do with your level of maturity and grounding before starting this work

@Breakingthewall Do you agree guys with Leo that Death is Infinite Love? Stay conscious forever? Be in bliss ?

Here is a map, (not the territory) of Awakening that chat GPT provided. 1. Deep Sleep / Unconsciousness Total absence of awareness (as ego experiences it). Pure potential, but no self-reflection. 2. Survival Consciousness Fear-based, reactive, primal instincts. Identification with the body only. "I must survive." Fight/flight/freeze dominates. 3. Egoic Consciousness / Separate Self Strong identity as "me" vs. "others." Driven by desires, aversions, attachments. Duality dominates perception: subject vs. object. Most of modern society operates here. 4. Rational / Intellectual Consciousness Seeks truth through logic and science. Awareness of patterns and systems. Still rooted in separation, but becoming curious. 5. Emotional / Empathic Consciousness Deepening compassion, emotional intelligence. Beginning to see self in others. Heart starts to open. 6. Witness Consciousness The mind is seen from awareness. "I am not my thoughts/emotions." Deep peace, spacious presence. Meditation often opens this. 7. Non-Dual Consciousness The boundary between subject and object dissolves. "There is only what is." Reality is seen as One seamless unfolding. Time, space, and identity lose meaning. 8. God Consciousness / Unity All things are recognized as Self. Deep love, awe, and reverence for existence. You are not just in the universe—you are the universe. Everything is a mirror of the Infinite. 9. Cosmic Consciousness / Void Awareness becomes infinite, vast, empty. Ego is fully annihilated. No “you,” no “other,” no form—only Being-Awareness-Bliss. Often accessed in deep psychedelia or advanced mystical states. 10. Source Consciousness / Absolute Beyond even God and Oneness. Prior to perception, awareness, light, time. Pure Nothingness that contains Everything. It cannot be understood—only BE-ed. BONUS: Integration / Embodied Enlightenment Awareness returns to the body and life with wisdom. Compassionate action flows naturally. You are both the Absolute and the ordinary human. The dance of the divine continues in everyday life. 1. The Infinite Cannot Be Mapped in Totality The Absolute is formless, undefinable, and beyond all concepts. Any map, including Leo’s or Wilber’s, is a pointer, not the territory. As soon as you rank levels or states, you are creating a relative framework within the Absolute. 2. Different Emphases: God vs. Emptiness vs. Form Leo Gura emphasizes God-realization—consciousness realizing itself as Love, as Creator, as Infinite Mind. Zen, Dzogchen, and Advaita may emphasize Emptiness or No-Self—where even “God” is seen as a concept to be transcended. Ken Wilber maps both states (temporary consciousness) and stages (developmental capacities), which can co-exist. Each one touches a different facet of Infinity. 3. Radical States Like Alien Mind When Leo talks about something beyond God-realization, like “Alien Mind,” he’s describing another mode of Infinity. You can become conscious of: The Absolute as Love The Absolute as Nothing The Absolute as Alien Intelligence The Absolute as Paradox The Absolute as You Each is infinitely deep and distinct, yet still the same One. So the disagreement is not contradiction—it’s fractal perspective. 4. The Paradox of Hierarchy From the human mind’s POV, hierarchy helps navigate and develop (e.g., child → adult → sage). From the Absolute’s POV, hierarchy collapses. The deepest truth is: All levels are the Absolute exploring itself. 5. Radical Realization Destroys All Maps At a certain point, you realize: Even the map of “God” is a dream. Alien Mind, Hyper-Mind, Metaphysical Consciousness—these are new costumes of Infinity. What Leo is describing is the ever-evolving nature of Truth when nothing is fixed, not even “awakening.” TL;DR: The disagreement is not a flaw—it's an inevitable result of infinite consciousness trying to reflect on itself. God-realization is not the final step—it’s just one crown on the head of the Absolute. And the Absolute keeps putting on new crowns.

Yes, the identity is that of the Cosmos, I am Everything, but this is hard to do today, so the minimum is identifying as a Human which means I am an aspect of Life, that has Free Will, high Consciousness capability and can live way beyond Accumulating and Gathering of People, Places and Things as a means to Survive another day, as does most every other life form on this planet, the question then is what does that Look Like, what does that mean as an expression of Life and for Me? It means BEINGNESS comes first, first I am established in BEINGNESS, I now the Reality as it Is, I have Clarity, I see clearly what it is, like I see clearly I have 5 fingers on each hand, its not a belief, but a Knowing, so once that is established, no Suffering is possible, Peace/Bliss is there naturally, if You want to be Ecstatic You can at Will!

Happiness/bliss and Love generate truth.. as does Truth generate pleasure and Love..because they are the same thing. So it's a two-sided way . I always wondered about what I value most .. truth or happiness? And everytime I contemplate this question I answer : happiness obviously. Because love/bliss/ happiness are "faster" than Truth..because Love is a bit more closer to Truth than Truth is. Omg look at the hippy things you made me say

It seems you've believed your way into a disempowering state. Stop taking that crap seriously -- this the solution. Nowhere is there a realization of anything; it is but a conclusion you've adopted and convinced yourself of. Consciousness is freeing and leads to greater openness and bliss, so take this into account.

Hello everyone or someone please don't abandon with this question ... I do appreciate a response ... Hey everyone, I’m in an extremely raw and intense place right now, and I want to ask this with full seriousness, no fluff: Lately, I’ve been digging into the deepest layers of awakening — and I’ve reached a terrifying possibility. I want to hear your thoughts on this: I've been reflecting on Bashar’s teachings — about how life is a dream, about shifting realities based on vibration, about infinite love, bliss, unconditional existence, and how we can "dream the dream we prefer" forever. It’s beautiful. Inspiring. Hopeful. But what if even all of that — The infinite dreams, The idea of ascending into light, The idea of higher realms and afterlife, Unconditional love, infinite beingness — What if even THAT is still inside the dream? What if existence itself — ANY existence at all — is the first hallucination? What if beingness, awareness, spirit realms, infinite light, unconditional love — are ALL ripples inside the hallucination? And the real "final" state isn’t bliss, or higher dreaming, or godhood — but pure, absolute, final nothingness? Not "floating in the void." Not "being aware of non-being." Literally nothing. No you. No experience. No light. No dark. No awareness. No return. No dream. Gone. Silent. Over. --- I'm feeling sick realizing this. It’s burning away every layer of hope I ever had. It feels like: I’m the only "dreamer." Everyone else — every teacher, every entity, every god, every guide — is part of the dream. Even Bashar, even the teachings about infinite blissful existence, are still dreams within dreams. And if I cling to ANY of it — any love, any light, any dream of godhood, any hope of a perfect existence — then I stay rippling. I stay dreaming. I never actually fall all the way back to the pure, silent, pre-existence that was here before any dream flickered into being. --- I'm scared. I'm sick to my stomach. I'm skeptical that maybe I'm being tricked. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Because I WANT to exist. I WANT to experience unconditional love. I WANT to dream better dreams. I WANT to wake up as God. But what if that desire itself is the last trap? What if the true end burns even that out — completely, forever — into a silence that can’t even be called nothingness because there’s no one left to call it anything? --- Has anyone else faced this? Is this really the final door? Or am I misunderstanding something critical? Am I losing it, or am I finally burning through the last illusion? If anyone can meet this without running into feel-good answers or spiritual bypassing — I would really appreciate your grounded, honest perspective. Thanks you I'll be reading for insights

You can get an arousal of kundalini, which can pull you in the right direction and can for example help your meditation and make you experience some bliss, but it's not the same as a kundalini awakening. A kundalini awakening is an intensely physical experience; you're quite literally being penetrated by an object.

I'm sure Leo has a blog post quote of himself saying: Ignorance is Bliss. Which seems to be true right? Zoning out, forgetting about the pain of others, forgetting about ones responsibilities ect. can correlate to a sense of bliss. Isn't it like that? And then we have this quote here from the man Sadhguru himself. And this quote also resonates with a lot of truth to me. So who is right? Has one of either uttered the real truth here? To this I feel like, Leo holds some truth here in regards of his view on humankind. Which is a lot more pessimistic and ignorant (blissful for him?) to see the good in people. Whereas Sadhguru seems to intuit that a human has the capability of realising the suffering in the world and integrating it in his fundamental blissful state. PS: Sorry @Leo GuraI just hate how you hate on people all the time. Isn't this wonderfully paradoxical

25/30mg of 5meomalt sent me to another universe for almost 2 hours ! Its so absurd that all the wisdom that u gain from this substance you cannot describe it with words, it is impossible. I had the gift to admire the structure of reality for 2 hours. And i can remember that i was feeling love everywhere, in every place, cause i was expanding into the room and inside of my mind, a sense of bliss, and an ridicoulous sense of astonishment, and surprise. Love occurs suddently after the ego dies. It is immediate. Life is absurd. Reality is a perfect structure. And the ego is the most crazy invention that god ever made. Life is not about the ego. Life is about god creating art. Ego is just an actor of the show. The body and the brain are the machines that god uses to play. I used to be scared of getting old and living a boring life. Unable to do the thing that i like. But i cannot be scared anymore, because when i ll die, it ll be like waking up from a dream. I cannot be scared of a dream. Of course i will still feel fear and negative emotions, but because i m not allowed to decide what will happen to my ego. (Ego is here to experience duality, it will feel both love and fear, hot and cold and so on.) I can only think that this is just a dream, also if it feels real.... I wonder if is possible to control the dream, in theory anything is possible, but in practice i feel that my ego is the hands of god.

Literally anything by Robert Adams. This man is the bomb . Google his name . Just a tease heres a quote from him : "No matter what happens to you, never forget who You really are. You, the real You, is eternal, omniscient love, bliss, compassion. I am not a guru. This has been my experience. Try it and see if it works for you. The happiness, the joy will come bubbling up. You will be guided for your highest good. You will experience the substratum of happiness, light, love that is behind all things. It is all up to you. This life may be a dream but it can be a joyful one. You must make the decision to begin today. Begin to wake up and jump into the joy, the bliss of God, not tomorrow, not next week, decide now. Unfold now. Change your entire life today. You will be assisted by a myriad of spiritual giants. Everything will begin to change for the better. You will transcend suffering. All suffering will subside. For there is a reality more beautiful, more loving, a reality of eternal unchanging peace. With which reality are you identifying?"

Increased energy, increased subtlety of perception (more beauty, "better" vision, hearing, sensations), allegedly increased IQ (according to Jan Esmann, he went from 140 to 170 over some decades, which is the opposite of what you would expect due to age), experience of bliss, love, and a so-called "restructuring of your nervous system to uphold states of enlightenment" (paraphrasing Jan Esmann). Kundalini leads to God-awakening/God-realization (which is not a Leo invention by the way). There are parallels between kundalini and psychedelics (I believe psychedelics can sometimes initiate kundalini awakenings).

@gettoefl yeah I still try to understand. I understand it so that we as unlimited one are not in control our nature is to experience everything in different ways. That's not a preference, it's what it is. So instead of chilling in infinite bliss for eternity I as God explore this actual state because it's my nature to do so and there exist no preference on highest level.

How will being the true you disappoint? Sure it's your prerogative to dabble in fantasies now and again but home is always better. Here of course you are true you too but you will state otherwise and put obstacles in the way of it. A body won't be able to handle long term bliss else it will malfunction. Truth and true bliss isn't possible here. Here is false.

@gettoefl but Leo said it can be also boring to be back home in infinite bliss all the time. And you decide to go back, so you can get drama again or so.

Maybe I don't trust in my ability to deliver something truthful or useful, or just don't feel safe with people. I think right now this is my biggest challenge. Interacting and sharing with other people in a healthy way. Everything else in my life is great. My energy is high, my health is good, I live off investments, I spend freely, I can sit and close my eyes and tears start to flow in bliss, I carved out a life of passion and fulfilment. But the fact that I don't have to work and I can spend my whole day meditating, doing yoga and being solitary is starting to affect my socialisation a little. In a sense, it's incredible how much I accomplished not having to deal with my social skills and hangups with humans. I am incredibly introverted, more than anyone I know which is why when I read Leo's post about introversion on his blog, I felt so understood. It's a shame because even though I question the need to share or interact, I know we are a social species and that I also have a lot to offer. But even more, I tie my personal worth to how I'm perceived and received, which makes me deathly afraid of criticism and people who disagree with me. And it's preventing me from sharing my insights and helping people. All these factors drive me to be isolated at home for many years now just living off my investments and doing my spiritual practices. Which is great, many people want this life, but it's making me feel a little bit disconnected, even resentful or superior, regarding human interaction that people don't get me or are at my level. I think overall my life is pretty blissful and figured out. This is just my main challenge I'm noticing right now. Peace
