New Video: What Is Fake Spirituality?

No.

Pursuit of truth has no relation to suffering.

Imagine only caring to connect with God to avoid pain. This is disgusting.

This is like only having sex with your wife because you are in pain. But if your pain stops you never have sex with her. This is sick.

When you are in a leaky boat you throw everything overboard that isn’t essential.  When the shit hits the fan, you tend to quickly abandon all the silly stuff that doesn’t work and focus on the truth for your own survival.  It sheds delusion.

@Sugarcoat Thank you for the link - Appreciate appreciate

You (actually many users here) may enjoy this lecture - the gentleman speaking is a great orator, which always helps with the digestion.

He goes into genetics, to body systems, to the mind and consciousness. Breaks down how they interact and how the mind generates emotions we experience through narrative (real/imaginary - makes no difference). It gets linked back to survival's maladjusted mechanisms that are active in the world today. We are doing these things we think we are plagued by. Things we are under the impression are external. The key is meditation. Cease all thought. Not knowing. 

Our consciousness is capable of much more than we know:

 

Thank you too for the link!

Outrageous claim:

I have watched the video and really liked it, especially the last part about the beauty of Truth and the “reasons” for doing all this work.

However, to reach this point, Leo presents a very “masculine” path - sitting in solitary confinement and doing hardcore meditation.

But what about the feminine path - the one of devotion, service to others, love, etc. - can this also be a valid path?

As Neem Karoli Baba said, when someone asked him how to get enlightened: “Feed the Poor and Remember God”. As God comes to the hungry in the form of food

This is BS. It will never make you Awake.

It's time to stop kidding yourselves.

No, it makes for a life of illusion, suffering, and separation from God.

There is no enjoyable life without consciousness of God.

Again, please stop kidding yourselves. Awakening is mandatory for genuine happiness.

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Does their need to be a feminine/masculine polarity attributed to the path? 

I just don't see the frame serving me personally.

[Leo Gura]

Awakening does not care if you are man, woman, or baboon.

There does not need to be a baboon path to Awakening.

If the baboon refuses the "man's path", it will not Awaken.

I guess that includes Peter Ralston.

"Genetic freaks" is a thought terminating cliché. All people go on a path. The path of devotion is a thing.

My brother used to go , "dad that guinness world record kid was already as tall as me in grade 3! and there's this 5 year old that's 205 lbs and is already heavier than me! Dad what???!" And he said the same thing to him "don't compare yourself to these freaks...!"

The freaks still ate food.

Let me put it in a different way: once you fully realize Truth, what is there left to do? 

Isn’t devotion the most intelligent thing to do?

If you realize Oneness, then loving and serving everybody would be the next logical step, right?
