All Personal Questions For Leo

A lot of people here are confused about what enlightenment really means. Some think it's simply the realization of your true nature. Others think it's that PLUS the alignment with your true nature over a lifetime. How do you precisely define enlightenment, Leo?

You can read his manifesto here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/unabomber/manifesto.text.htm

It's worth a read, and his insights still holds very much true 20 years later. Saying he took it personally is a great way of putting it.

Ive read the manifesto few years back and it is very interesting. The guy has some very good points.

I dunno. It's a tricky issue. The depth that consciousness goes to is staggering. I don't know where it ends.

If your entire reality hasn't been turned inside-out forever, I'd hesitate to call it enlightenment.

@Leo Gura What's your opinion on Ralph Smart (Infinite Waters) ? 

Haven't watched that much of him.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

I virtually watch nothing on Youtube, and I've blocked most websites on my PC. It's a huge distraction.

If I do sometimes find some good channel on Youtube, I will download the audios and listen to it on my own time.

But I do feed myself with TONS of educational information. Just not through such low-quality sources.

@Leo Gura

Besides your book list, could you give a few examples of high-quality sources of educational information? 

Thanks!

who were the enlightened people you worked with so far?

do you recomend having a physically present teacher in this quest?


"I gently pushed my hand into my pocket and pulled the last one out, it trembled at first and clung to my hand. "Go on, it will be ok," I whispered. Encouraged, it flexed its wings and I knew the time was right. It flew up towards the blue, blue sky and I looked proudly as it's made its way to freedom. The last of my fucks was finally given."

Leo, when strategizing for your life, how do you know which of the things you want are neurotic desires and which of your wants are authentic? Also how did you go about discovering yourself? Were there any traps you fell into?

@Leo Gura 

You said you only know/embody 1% of self-mastry material, where are all the other 99% of material - are they from direct experience?

One book from your book list you could only read in your life, which book would you choose?

Would it be possible for me to come to las vegas and live and train with you (worth a shot lol), if not live then just train/self-actualise :D 

Can the deep states of awareness that can be experienced by psychedelics be the exact possibly of awareness that can be obtained permanently by doing consciousness/enlightenment work?

You said you have stopped going to the gym and changed diet for meditation reasons:

1. What are your current views on maintaining a healthy body while on the spiritual path? Do you do any physical yoga?

2. What is a good diet for meditation?

3. Do you still use this supplements?
