Grasping Who You Are

[Terell Kirby]

Realized I’ve been bogged down consuming a lot of spiritual content- mostly thru YouTube but also books. Paradoxically enough, consuming spiritual content, even highest quality, can turn into a limitation.

The aim of consciousness work is to grasp who I AM. Grasping this comes along with understanding reality and existence itself, they are one in the same.

Consuming spiritual content on media platforms is a deeply human endeavor. It’s odd because I’m not trying to say you shouldn’t do it, but if you’re doing all of that without grasping that YOU ARE the content you’re consuming, then it’s really for nothing.

I appreciate Actualized.org- although the teachings are delivered through a human medium, it least it pushes you to really grasp who you are. As followers of the work- it’s important to remind ourselves that grasping the true nature of our Being is more important than worshipping the medium and / or teacher. Can be difficult because many of these teachers are charismatic and it so easy to idealize them and put them on a pedestal. Yet your consciousness means more in the end then their attractiveness of their personality, intelligence or spiritual talents.

I’m planning to spend more time in meditation soon, bring myself back to source consciousness

It must be experienced 🌱

Go for it. Maybe create a week-long intensive solo retreat with the intent of discovering who and what you are.

Although "who you are" isn't exactly an enlightenment question - it's more like an insight or relative realization. The nature of the entity asking the question ("What am I?") is the enlightenment question, but this doesn't matter too much as long as you grasp the subject of the question.

Great post. Only reason Im attracted to Leo's work is because he constantly and genuinely reminds you that he is not to be worshipped. He wants you to grasp your true nature, not his fingers. The Self is infinite Consciousness. I am reality. I am God. I am truth. Not just ideas or words that Leo says, but actual Truth.

99% of YouTube content is junkyard, hype, klickbate. It's like some no-name wrote "was here..." on a fence.
The best content, in my opinion, is entertaining, and sometimes a little bit of true crime is okay. And if you're going to take something useful, you need to take it concretely, not someone else's opinion, much less advice on how to live a healthy life.
