The greatest line of inquiry you're overlooking

[TheAvatarState]

I'm just a humble messenger. I'm not here to tell you what to believe or what opinion you should form. But I believe it would be wise to take this message seriously: question what this forum is and how it operates. Question the Leo Avatar and how he came into your life and at what time. Investigate exactly how you hold this community and Leo in your mind. This is extremely difficult to do objectively and you are guaranteed to under-sell the importance of this. This is why you must set aside time for contemplation. 

For instance, you might deny that Leo is an authority on consciousness because he was the one who told you how appealing to authority works, so you're probably immune to that now. But, you DO hold Leo as an authority on consciousness. You hold his opinion above others. If you are reading this, I guarantee that you hold beliefs you gained from this forum or Leo himself as a dogma. How can I be so sure? Because it's inevitable in the structure of this place and of Leo's content. 

Now don't get me wrong, I am not ranting against Leo. I respect him greatly, and he has made an enormous impact in my life so far, and will continue to do so. He even warns against turning the teachings into a dogma, but even he doesn't understand just how pervasive this issue is to a viewer. It's not that there's a danger of turning it into a dogma, it's that you ALREADY HAVE by watching the content, and you now have to "burn the book" so to speak and derive it for yourself completely alone. By getting a "sneak peak," (which is dangerous) you are already corrupted. Everything you've ever read on this forum is a belief that you created to help your ego make better sense of the unexplainable. Everything you've "taught" to someone else on this forum (which may not be a belief to you), is immediately more belief and story to who reads it. And of course, you created every username and word in the forum to serve your new self. You use the forum to reinforce your beliefs. You use Leo's Avatar for 2 hours every week to reinforce your beliefs and sense of enlightened and special self. You're going nowhere by participating here. 

If you're following along, you might rightly say that everything I've said here is belief and story. Yes, it is, for you. I'm participating here. I fully realize that I'm not helping "any one" by saying this. At this point, it's more amusing to me than anything. I don't want attention. I just hope this sinks in for at least one person. Because I know how easy it is to delude yourself into being that guy who "questions everything" and "loves truth." These labels serve the ego. You are not actively questioning the most important things, because you already know the illusion will come tumbling down if you do. 

You want the honest, hard truth? Leo is building a cult. It's inescapable, and he knows this but is too arrogant to think it'll happen to him. He's "taking precautions." He "knows the tendencies and lets his viewers in on them." That makes his community immune, right? Wrong. In fact, it creates a base following that is convinced they are immune to certain things like "belief" and "dogma." It's already seeped in, just observe. You follow actualized because it's special in that it isn't belief or dogma, as Leo says every episode. You can find it out for yourself, so it can't be!

Take a deep breath and question it. Question it all, even the things you don't want to question. This post is a call to action. And the funny thing is, the choice isn't even yours. Just try to enjoy the ride.
