The Agreeing WIth Leo Dilemma

[AtmanIsBrahman]

Do you guys ever wonder if you're agreeing with Leo because Leo's right or because Leo said it? I have this problem sometimes.

It's not because I don't introspect to see if I'm believing or actually conscious of something. Rather, it's because Leo is so right about pretty much everything that I end up wondering if my mind was subconsciously influenced by actualized.org content to adopt the same conclusions. Or alternatively, it could be because reality is what it is and anyone can reach the same conclusions if they do truth seeking correctly.

Some things Leo is right about:

Oneness, nonduality 

The limits of science and the myth of science

Identifying rationalism

Academic philosophy being bullshit

Ideology, Conformity, the social matrix

God existing, and what God is

Solipsism (nonduality has to solipsistic, in case you didn't catch on)

Cognitive and ego development

The ego and self-deception
 

The weird thing is that as I do this work, I arrive at many of the same conclusions as Leo. Of course I already had heard about them, but my understanding becomes much deeper. The only issue is that I could be deceiving myself by using actualized.org as a sort of paradigm and then falling for confirmation bias.

I think the only solution to this is more introspection, removing beliefs, and contemplation. But it's still not easy.

It's important to be aware of the drawbacks of actualized.org. The content is really good, insanely good, inhumanly good. But the cost is that you're exposed to the most profound insights before actually doing the work that is needed to get there, and as a result you have the potential to reach higher peaks of consciousness but also to get bogged down in a very advanced form of a paradigm.

My deepest awakenings have been when Leo has been out of the picture, when Actualized teachings no longer exist, so that says something.
