Something is just off about Leo’s last post. I think it’s a strawman and I will work to articulate why, and also how it contradicts many of Leo’s statements and how it’s a mixture of a lower and higher perspective. 

It feels off because he is talking at people as if he knows their subjective experience. But I suspect some of that grating communication style is deliberate; it generates emotional polarity that captivates attention... unfortunately, that discomfort usually doesn't translate into more consciousness in people, just unconscious defence mechanisms that can make things worse. Some of the grating communication is also being driven by discontent with people in general, as he is impatient.

Religious people believe in God for all kinds of different reasons, and most could actually tell you "why" they believe. Religious institutions also provide many useful cultural and social functions that people are very aware of, to the detriment of individual consciousness cultivation.

The survival functions religions facilitate differ from direct experience of God, and direct experiences of God vary in depth and consistency.

Many religious people have had some kind of direct experience that then gets mixed up with beliefs, human games, unconscious/uncognized mechanics, which further complicates things.

It's hard, man. Only an idiot would try to teach God.

When I sat down again to understand it I see what he is saying.

Leo - I remember you mentioning at some point wanting to be more nuanced and speak less in absolutes.

Is that still a goal?

I notice you still have a tendancy to make sweeping claims that are probably not true in many cases. 

Separately - there was a video of you claiming to be omniscient but were later surprised by a delivery man. What exactly did you mean by omniscience?

@Leo Gura Can I ask you a favor please? I won’t ask much of your time. Could you please share any sources you used to develop your public speaking? I know you are very authentic on camera and you speak with conviction which makes you a strong speaker. Do you read from a script or notes? You compose your entire piece with any supporting details or bullets then just speak and about what you know? Did you read any books or learn from anyone on speaking and composing your ideas into a concise 1 hour video? Thanks for sharing this.

What’s the difference between saying “everything is GOD” and saying “everything is everything “ ?

You'll know once you experience God.

Is that even technically possible? 

I recall another user linking an X post on the forum before, and I was pleasantly surprised that you could watch the videos posted on X directly on the forum.

It’s so mind boggling. I experienced God with @Someone here, I literally made metaphysical love with Someone here, and then we forget. Cosmic joke at its finest.

Truth isn't merely an intellectual matter, but a spiritual matter. Truth has to do with your soul, it will move you, make you cry in joy of bliss and ecstasy. That's the power of truth. Developing a truthful mind is the highest priority.

Imagine for a minute what may be to live as @Leo Gura. After listening all the deep  content till now. Maybe it sound harsh because one cant fathom what is to be in his skin. 

Imagine being a super well trained Programer or whatever job and still be working among people who are bad at programing  have the audacity to shit on your work, to try to teach you. 

Here below is a confession of a woman who gives bussiness advice. This is the feeling when someone who knows try to understand the ones who insist in the error. 

" THERE IS A LEVEL OF AUDACITY IN SAYING
"I'LL DO ANYTHING TO CHANGE THIS"
And then getting taken out by the google doc. Too busy. Too overwhelmed. Too much information. Takes too long.
There is something deeply funny about hiring someone because you're sick of your own patterns, then using those exact patterns to avoid everything they give you.
Imagine hiring someone because you're sick of your own shit.
You're tired of the same patterns. The same business problems. The same money problems. The same conversations with yourself. You want a different result, so you pay someone to help you see what you can't see and give you work that actually moves something.
And then they give you the work.
Suddenly it's too much.
Too much to read.
Too many questions.
It takes too long.
You've had a busy week.
You need to be in the right headspace.
You'll get to it when things calm down.
You're overwhelmed by where to start.
Meanwhile, you have been screaming about wanting the outcome.
Here's a fun fact.
Sometimes the work required to change your life is simply more than you're currently used to doing.
Of course it feels like a lot.
Your current habits, decisions, standards and capacity created your current normal. If you want a meaningfully different normal, there is probably going to be a period where what is being asked of you feels disproportionate to what you're used to.
That doesn't automatically mean the work is unreasonable. Sometimes it means your tolerance for doing difficult, unfamiliar or mentally demanding things is underdeveloped.
And I think people are far too quick now to make every moment of "this feels like a lot" mean the thing itself is too much.
Maybe it is.
But maybe you have also built a life around avoiding things the second they become mentally annoying, time-consuming, uncomfortable or inconvenient.
There is a difference.
I am all for making work realistic. I am all for not drowning people in bullshit for the sake of looking thorough. But if I give you something because I know it is going to help you pull apart the exact issue you keep complaining about, and your first response is to negotiate it down to the easiest possible version, I am going to notice that.
Because that pattern probably exists in more places than this worksheet.
You cannot keep saying how badly you want something to change, then be shocked that changing it might ask more from you than maintaining it did.
Sometimes the answer really is, read the fucking document, do the program, and do the work.
I genuinely don't know what some people think they're paying for when they hire someone to help them change their life.
A pep talk? A cute voice note? Someone to agree that everything is hard? Because at some point I'm going to give you work, and I am going to expect you to fucking do it.
Otherwise, I ain't the girlie for you to help change your life."
