@ActualizedDavid 1. I believe in reincarnation. I have read the studies by Ian Stevenson and the critiques but have not found an argument against that doesnt violate Occams Razor. 2. No, that would imply that there is an opposite of the All/Source/Braham, which includes all dualities of good and evil. There are evil beings and good beings (relative to a human perspective) and beings all along the spectrum in between, just like people. 3. That enlightenment is not really as difficult as many think. The biggest thing that holds people back is their fear of letting the ego die and fully acknowledging what that means. 4. I had been obsessed with the nature of consciousness for sometime so I sought out some DMT to investigate my consciousness. I met my spirit guide and my life was radically changed forever in one night. That was 3.5 years ago and ive mediated every day since. I spent 1.5 years heavily studying and practicing buddhism. Then I studied and practiced yoga. I finally started studying the energetic traditions about a year ago and found my way to the Occult. 5. I was raised in a Christian cult. It turned me off but I had felt spirituality enough that I knew there was "something" out there. It was a long search to get where I am now (Im almost 50). 6. Yes, I believe so although Satan is not what Christians claim he is. He is a dark spirit that surprisingly works towards his devotees eventual evolution to the light. This was a surprise to me considering my Christian background. Satan attracts people that get off on darkness and thats not my thing however.

1. What are your views on reincarnation , afterlife ? 2. Is there a devil ? I do not mean selfishness , i mean a devil ? https://youtu.be/2ZpRXQlkTYs 3. What are are the things that enlighten teachers do not share ? 4. How did you get into spirituality? 5. What was your background , religious wise. 6. Is there a Jesus, Shiva,isis, horus , satan ? https://youtu.be/HrVXMgLyrBI Minute 3:10

@Aakash i think you understand things, but then you try overthink it thinking you don't..and then you end up jumbling everything up in your mind and it gets mushed all together leaving you a vegetable LOL. Like duality is all devilry, etc etc. It is OK to dwell in form because it itself is Love and Creation. Devilry, or Good and Evil, are dualities which Collapse into Absolute Goodness ÷ Absolute Love. God wants to experience limitation and limitation means there will be suffering and devilry. You can collapse these while still in the physical world..its not easy but you can. So don't think you have to leave your body to achieve Nirvana - it is right here its just that most are not that conscious. All of us have work to get to that level of consciousness. The reincarnation topic about continually Reincarnating if you don't leave the world of form - well - if Nirvana is both then it shouldn't matter. Either realm is the same as they are One. Its just a choice the enlightened Being can make.

@Aakash I think you are missing the deeper point. Mystical experiences aren't 'mine'. They reveal what lies beyond, my true nature. You are not the body. They you that is in the mind is within the body, and the body is within God, which is you. You are being yourself in your godly contracted human form. Being your infinite self is not any better, because you are your infinite self RIGHT NOW. The unfolding is Love, and Love is your direct contact with your ultimate self, Divinity. It is Love regardless of whether any particular human realizes it. In this sense, human suffering is illusory. The question is: what makes a person seek? The answer is: that, which passes from body to body upon reincarnation. Consecutive lives are not arbitrary. The seeds of karma are planted.

Let being mesh in truth, to realise the true end. I’ve spent two months trying to confirm this. This is what reality is working it’s way too consciously. Bringing heaven right to the fore front. Your limited Awareness was created out of love. Nothing is actually going on. But nothing is not something you can experience as you currently have self - realised it to be. Full truth = no truth. Becoming god is to not become anything at all. The reason is because absolute facets are the only ones that exist, in its infinite form. There are levels of vibrations of being (sensations) where you can’t hold it in your body. You leave in the night sky To infinite levels of being. Pure being it took me months to peace this all together. Just know the end of times will need to be realised in solitude. There is nothing in the outside world that can get you there. There are pointers but you must make it true yourself

@mandyjw If you see Jesus come and speak to you directly, that could be valid. I said that Jesus was most likely a powerful, enlightened Qabbalist mystic but that gives no validity to stories from other people. For example, early Christians believed in reincarnation, which would make sense because that is what Kabbalah believes. The belief of reincarnation was banned at the council of Nicea by the early church. There are many more examples of manipulation of beliefs by the church. Would you really choose to believe the document that you know has been changed and manipulated as an instrument of control? Why? Relying on what other people say he said is just hearsay and unreliable. A lot of people say a lot of nonsense. If Jesus is powerful, he can tell you himself (I believe his power and spirit does speak to people).

@zeroISinfinity so we are the same being and I never underwent reincarnation. The process can be described as reincarnation for how I create the idea of false self through an idea of birth and death ?

Thanks god the emptiness is pure love which is different to what I think of love But this thing inside my skull. How is it related to myself. (P.s I’m not debating that myself is not the true self, all of it is me... kind of thing) I just don’t get what I am then ? was I created by myself via some sort of thought or am I myself tricking myself into being a small self or am I imaginary and unreal or am I imaginary and real but an illusion. Or did I actually undergo reincarnation, or is this a story I have told myself over the years to explain the true self.

Lool following this so called love, gets you to less ego density, which is more ego development and therefore enlightenment. The issue is not that you are an ego, the issue is that you have a label “me” which has identified with the ego as a thought. Love let’s you see that “me” is universal. Which does not require ego development to do, you could just use god to cut through everything as a stepping stone. , is “me” exist or not ? I have yet to figure this one out. Trying to ask people about reincarnation. But safhguru just said know that this is nonsense - _ -

A paradigm is god’s way of reaching the end of reincarnation. How can you make a conceptual “me” who may have experienced previous lives to experience certain situation. Easy give them a body which is festered with certain dna archetypes. You reacting to your environment and every thought was pre determined in the sense “me” reacting to the nature of its own design. This is why we have ego development . It is because the “me” will always do things to reach enlightenment. But overall I agree, can’t say it’s anything but consciousness after you’ve died ?

Back in 2017 I was on a ceremony where we smoked DMT. I had never done a psychedelic before. My martial arts mentor had been to such a ceremony before and his advice to me was " Inhale with your balls and hold as much as you can". So I did. I had seen Leo's videos on psychedelics and enlightenment and I wanted to experience as much as I could directly. Inhaled. Held. Held...Everything went dark. As if reality got shut down completely. Then everything got 'turned back on'. I noticed the room I was sitting in and for a brief moment I had a memory of the way I had conceptually fragmented everything - that's a person, that's a wall, that's a... and then every single division I had created started shattering like glass. In just a couple of seconds everything started to fold into itself. I was in such a shock of this realization that I said " Everything is so simple! " At the very last moment the only division that was left was "Me" vs "the thing I'm observing". The moment I realized that was the moment "Me" got merged with everything else aswell. Then, there I was. An infinite spiral, just folding into myself endlessly. The first thought I had ( as I hadn't surrendered completely ) was " I want to escape from here! ". And then there realization hit me " There is no other place than here ". I had absolutely no memory of anything. There was absolutely no time, no space, no thing. I struggled for a while, trying to grasp onto something I could identify with but it was absolutely pointless. ( keep in mind that I had never had any sort of psychedelic or mystical experience prior to that. I didn't even meditate ). Then, after an eternity of trying to 'not be myself' there was another realization: " Since I'm only Me, there is nowhere to go, and I am here forever, why am I not enjoying it ? ". It hit me that I was choosing not to enjoy the experience. So I changed my choice. It instantly became absolutely blissful. After another eternity of blissfulness everything started vibrating in an unusual way. I slowly started coming out of the experience. Later I realized that the shaman was playing some instrument that felt as if it was 'tuning' me back to this reality. I started remembering the concept of "time", then "space". It was awesome. The funny thing is that the concept of 'I'm a human being' came back to me like 5-10 minutes after the trip was over and I was already listening to some of the other people at the ceremony. It was absolutely astonishing that I had completely forgoten about it and didn't even miss it. I had completely died and then there was a reincarnation.

I have a few questions for those inclined to answer, would be much appreciated. At the tangible real bodily death (heart stops) of someone who has lived a materialistic life, not awakened, what happens? Eternal void? Hell? Reincarnation? Or do we all no matter what reunite with source energy/nirvana/god. I know it is possible to transcend the flesh in this life, but for those who haven't when they die and are still trapped in the Ego, I'm curious as to what happens afterwards. Also, on the side, what do you think the concept of hell and damnation means and can this be experienced after death? Just came across Actualized lately, truly is life changing information from an unbiased stand point and I value that so thanks Leo. Cheers

Check this video --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlzXhiQa4mk Sadhguru claims that we have 5 different kind of bodies. After DEATH The mental body and the pranic body goes on & when karma's intensity dissipates then it finds another body. Ofcourse i don't understand ANY of that BUT i think it goes contrary to what @Leo Gura is saying. Leo says that after death you just return to the Source & Infinite Love. Sadhguru says that unless you have a mahasamadhi then you will be a godamn ghost waiting for another body...And if you died unaturally then sorry my friend but you will have to wait much longer for another body than someone who died peacefully lol. What is the mental body & pranic body? Is just another name for consciousness? I'm super confused right now... Guess i'll find out when my time comes.... Can't wait man.

Reincarnation is said to work like this: You die and you are reborn as something new. That's kinda true in one sense, but reincarnation is a bit different. The thing with reincarnation is that you are right now reincarnating in everyone simultaneously at this moment! Ta-daaa. But why are you - you and I'am - me? Its because one human-being has it's own memory which the consciousness is bound to being aware of and thus creating one experience at a time. Plain consciousness has no memory it just is only conscious/aware. Consciousness is the eyes of God looking and being aware of the experience which you ultimately are. A God who is thinking that he is a little human born to this world. That's the magic of it, once you experience a number of awakenings you understand that You forgot who you actually are. Ultimately - God forgot that he is God.

@Mu_ when you take all illusions out and are left with actuality. Or in other words, what is god’s perspective in actuality. I posted a picture of a nuclear bomb going off and said it’s beautiful. This is god’s perspective. When there is nothing outside of it, then there is nothing outside of it. That which is outside of it, is actually inside of it and that means that what is not actually true is only inside of it. How is it held inside of it ? As an idea or a concept held by the person. Nothing more than an imaginary phenomena. But Is actuality imaginary ? The idea is that form is imaginary from the point of our view of it looking at god’s perspective of god itself. However, this is not god’s perspective. This is your perspective of god’s perspective either in concept form or actual form if reAlised. In god’s perspective there is only god. Does god suffer ? No does god love ? Yes does god hate ? No does god hate ? Yes through you does god imagine ? No does god imagine ? Yes (through you) does god actualise ? Yes does god imagine actuality? No does god imagine actuality (reality) ? Yes (through you) Does god see a difference in actuality ? No does god see a difference in actuality ? Yes (through you) every duality is created through you. The end of reincarnation is the giving up of self and devilry. The ineffable as I call it. Is the part of you that does not know itself to be god. Give up the ineffable and that is enlightenment. In other words, is it a paradox or actuality that duality exists and we have all found that if materialism is a concept imaginable. Then anything is. God is imagining the whole of duality. But this imagination is for you as a seperate “me” it is not actually the truth of actuality, “what is actually here or isness” If you complete enlightenment, you will die. Vanish into the night sky ... It’s not that your body is yours to command. It never was because reality itself and everything we talk about is not actuality. This last part is in theory. Your physical body could never talk about it, if it experienced it. Because that’s duality itself. It’s an impossibility. You would have to die, to know and then by that time. Your dead, so there’s nobody to know. And so knowing means unknowing. Etc etc etc .. because knowing and unknowing are duality with opposite. It’ll just be being without an opposite. The question you have to ask yourself is. If you die, what happens to actuality and the answer is nothing changes. You return to the market place having forgot enlightenment because “me” was never my thoughts or real in the first place. “Me” was just a concept. But emotions, materialism, hobbies, jobs, work, life, death we’re all real to “me” so they are distinctions by you. That is needed for partially living. It’s just not needed for actuality. So they are important. So the “I” needs to survive to be functional. So life still goes on. But has the i, fully died to truth. Because me is me and me is not the true me. But all is fulfilled when the true me is me. That true me, is still you but it’s now the true me as me and not me as me. LOL the mind fuck. Gives meaning to the answers to everything is inside of you

Reincarnation is just a belief really .

I hope you make a video on reincarnation & Karma someday. Let's say that i kill 10 people and die in jail. Will my next life be hellish? Or let's say that i do very good in the world and help millions of people. Will my next life be an evolution of that? BUT All this talk that you are reborn to learn lesson from previous lifetimes doesn't make sense to me since the subject is One.

Great anime, about spirit, reincarnation and Buddha. A movie to remember. Full movie free on YouTube.

When the Buddha was asked about how reincarnation could be real if there was nothing to reincarnate, he basically said, "dont worry about it". He never addressed this because it was a contradiction. I concede that my early belief, that mirrored your current belief, brought about the resolution of the dark night faster. If one believes that the subjective experience continues after physical death, the ego attempts to redefine itself as eternal, further extending the control of the ego. it wasnt until I was able to transcend the ego that I realized there was more to the story. I spent several years studying and practicing Buddhism. Then I spent several years on Yoga/Vedanta. Then I turned my studies to the energetic traditions, including the Occult. This was the perfect order for me, in my awakening. I have found unique strengths and shortcomings in every tradition I have studied. I cant give you evidence because evidence is based in subjective direct experience. If you want it, you need to go get it yourself....as I did. If you dont want to look, than we will just have to agree to disagree. It doesnt really matter to me what others believe...just like it matters little to you what I believe. You claim you "know" that your subjective conscious experience will end when the body dies but that is just a belief until you die, despite your claims to the contrary. You seem to not realize that many of the questions and objections you pose to me could just as easily be posed to you so did nothing to further your position. I dont know how much experience you have had with psychedelics but I would be completely shocked if you have had more experience working with psychedelics than myself lol. Either way, it doesnt matter to this conversation. The easiest spirits to get to show up simply to prove a point are the wrathful ones. This intention may cause someone to get more than they bargained for. If you still want to try, here are some resources - https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+saftely+summon+a+demon&oq=how+to+saftely+summon+a+demon&aqs=chrome..69i57.6701j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 If you do summon a spirit, its efficacy depends on your emotion, intention and belief. At minimum, temporarily change your belief to "if so many people say its true, maybe it is" until after the ritual.

What makes u belive in a next life? Are there any prof of past lives or reincarnation?

How would you possibly know what is going to happen in the future, it's impossible, we can only speculate, the greatest masters agree with me. I definitely have things to discover but in terms of theories of what is going to happen 'after', you will never find a solid answer what so ever, sure some things are likely: life review, oneness, subtle dreams and reincarnation, being connected with emotional effects of our actions, a macro version of sleep-dreaming-waking as Ramana pointed out. But these are thoughts, mental images, we impose on the mystery of reality, right? Unless you can realize, a sort of, nothing will happen, cinema screen will change, but I won't, because you know yourself completely, then yeah, think that could be legit, but not in terms of what will happen

So I'm reading this book "How to Attain Enlightenment" by James Swartz. It goes into talking about vasanas, or basically behavior tendencies from the unconscious mind (or casual body) that can be inherited from who you were in your previous incarnation. What im wondering is how do past lives fit into Non-Duality when, from my understanding, everyone has the same consciousness looking through their eyes, then wouldn't everyone who has existed before you also be your "past-life" in a sense? Am I missing something, or are there different levels to it?

I made somewhat a article of this. I'm no expert in these fields so i can be wrong. Hope this helps. The new age movement was created out of positive intent. Its practices however are of a mixed nature. As some practices are magical in their core. What is magic? It's the application of mental and spiritual forces. White magic: Definite use and application of spiritual force solely for the blessing and benefit of others. Example: mass meditation like a crowd visualizes peace, prosperity and oneness for earth and its inhabitants. Black magic: Definite use and application of spiritual force with a selfish or material aim. Example: sexual tantra. It is the use of sexual energy to abtain a pleasurable experience. Sexual magic is black magic. (voodoo, witch potion and mummy curse are just nonsense) Another example is the Law of attraction practices. Although this is a mix in my opinion. It depends as how someone uses it. I'm a learner of the law of attraction myself. I think Teal Swan and Bentinho massaro have good teachings about it. But of course one has to find out oneself of what black or white magic is and not read what others say. Some say it is using it to hurt others or help other. But the definition above is what some occultists and theosophy believe so it fits in this article. Visualizing and attracting a house or car to oneself is a good definition of "application of spiritual force with a selfish or material aim" LaVey's Satanism encouraging the practice of magic to aid one's selfish ends. In The Satanic Bible, LaVey described three types of ritual in his religion: sex rituals designed to attract the desired romantic or sexual partner, compassionate rituals with the intent of helping people (including oneself), and destructive magic which seeks to do harm to others. Both sexual tantra and law of attraction is practiced in the new age movement and in Lavey satanism. No wonder that Anton Lavey says that the new agers practice "satans" work. They practice the same. Although new agers deny that there is anything bad about it. But not all in the new age movement practising this. And there is no reason to call them satanists either. Original Theosophy and other spiritual communities are against these practices. "Whenever any spiritual aspirant was found to be attempting to use spiritual or mental power to attract wealth, possessions, or material and personal fulfillment, he was expelled in disgrace from the temple, the monastery, the ashram, or the spiritual community." quote from this article: https://blavatskytheosophy.com/the-whitewashing-of-black-magic/ Although the new age movement may have come from the theosophical society. Its founders did not practice or advocate many things that the new age movement does. As for Aleister crowley. He became unstable of the spiritual influence he received from his occult practice and could not synthesise his spiritual attainment and harmonize his desires and became somewhat unhealthy. He had drug addictions. He tried to fix himself with heroin which made him even more crazy and unstable. One can question his actions and practices as many of them are probably "dark" although he himself i think was positive. I have not studied him so i cannot really give a good statement. If you trust channelings, then here is maybe a good description: https://www.lawofone.info/results.php?c=People&su=Aleister+Crowley#Aleister+Crowley If there is a dark occultist one can pinpoint on, then it is Michael Aquino of the temple of set. Theosophical movement is of course a mixture. In the time when the founders where alive, that is Helena blavatsky and William. q. judge. That society was a huge positive influence as they where some of the first that brought Eastern esotericism and spirituality (like karma and reincarnation) to Western culture. Things did not go that well for the society after their death. Especially when Charles leadbeater and Alice Bailey entered the game. Leadbeater a Bishop that tried to Catholicise Theosophy and destroyed the movement, or at least was the cause of splitting it in 4 different societies: Point loma, Pasadena, Ult and Adyar. Bailey put blavatskies original books out of print for decades and rewrote them in a christian friendly like style. Hence why their teaching are different. The teachings that were at the time of blavatsky are called theosophy. Leadbeater/baileys teachings are called pseudo-theosophy. Bailey was influenced by a Eastern black magician that she called her guru. The intent was to destroy the society from within through her. And Leadbeater did not give a shit appearantly. As they say he was a "paedophile, sex criminal against young boys, a chronic liar, fraud, and even a black magician" . Poor Krishnamurti. Although I still believe that it is not all black or white for these two, they probably in the grey (closer to the black maybe). I think the new age movement came out of pseudo theosophy and people don't know the difference between the original and the other. That's why blavatsky gets all the blame. I think that this question comes from a edge of wonder video titled law of attraction. Much of the info in the video about blavatsky came from a video on YouTube of Hans wilhelms Lucifer doctrine that they show a bit at the end. And Hans willhelm took the info about blavatsky from some article on the Internet. And they took out of their ass. Some better research could be good as to not point at the wrong people. But i still like the edge of wonder videos. Even if they believe that these people are "satanists" one cannot deny them of their individual opinion as i have mine.

I agree that everything is already said and done. All stories and all maya are already over in the end. Everything ends in peace. However, why do you want to keep going in the strangeloop (reincarnation)? That's why we have choice. Do you want to do well in this story?

I’m sorry but I have to let this out. I would like to believe that reincarnation is real, it’s an interesting idea to imagine that. But I’m just a piece of meat. When I die, I’m done. Why do we think we are a human beings? We are persons right now, but when we die that’s it we are no more. I do think we were just a happening in this existence/universe, and that’s okay with me. We are humans right now but that’s going to end. What? An ant will keep reincarnating as an ant? We only have this chance and that’s it, and it doesn’t matter. That ant will only be that ant, and when he dies he’s done. We are nothing, we’re not important. I think we think we are very important, many lives... this and that, etc. An ant is an ant only once. A human is only a human once. Or, please someone explain to me, are we going to be humans forever, reincarnation after reincarnation? Or were we an ant before, and evolved, nah, don’t think so. We’re so not important. No one has comeback from death and returned to tell you that life goes on. If they did they imagined it. But then, this:
