People who take issue with Leo's perspective watch this to understand

[Razard86]

I remember on my first Spiritual Experience it was communicated to me that the most direct path or simple path to God Realization was the study the life of Jesus and embody it. I love this video that Leo made and I think it is one of his most foundational videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4ZWNzSliGk&ab_channel=Actualized.org

Its funny what he said in the end about you having to be lured into Spirituality before you could be told the truth. This video is humbling, and scary but I know its the ultimate way we all should be living our life if we want to reach our highest potential. There is no judgment here, but why not go for it?

My first task is to study this video Leo made and work on embodying it. Instead of just doing trip reports, I think we should start doing video reports. Pick a video you seek to embody in your life and chronicle your struggles and triumphs. Let me know what you think about that.

Thanks the funny thing is that Ox Video I prejudged it by the title and never watched it. I had remembered on a way earlier video when you talked about a retreat you went on (before you had your true awakenings) you mentioned seeing a glimpse while looking out into a field and how the Teacher you told it too said you only saw the tail of the Ox. 

I never really resonated with the whole map of the Ox Herding thing so I kept not watching the video...then today it showed up in my feed and I felt a pull to check it out. Lol I have saved that video its literally one of your most important videos I'm mad I never gave it a chance. Its scary though because I believe that video is the Call To Adventure Video and its like once you see it...you can't unsee it.

Yeah I know the Spiritual Path is the acceptance of what is, radical acceptance of what is. You are trying to reach Infinity both in experience, and embodiment. The true recognition of oneness transcends all maps, and logic. You become a Super Conductor as Leo has stated in the past. No resistance to impurities, you just flow effortlessly. We reach these peak states every now and then, we call it being in the zone in sports, flow in other pursuits. It becomes your default state when you reach the highest level. Its definitely worth it.

This is essentially what it all boils down to.

People in states of pure love still stray into judgment, then they become the judgment or reflection. It is the path to enlightenment but its got great big potholes in it. You essentially attract all unloved parts of yourself like a magnet that is impossible to ignore.

Good luck its a noble and beautiful pursuit. I will watch that video when I am in the right frame of mind, not right now (too much judgment being reflected elsewhere )

No, lol. You have yet to be lured in and told the truth. What makes you think this was ever about you.

What makes you think this life is yours.

Yeah it's the call to adventure. The hero's journey. It is about the hero, but it's by no means for the hero's sake. It's for God's sake. The hero can only be thankful for his 15 minutes on stage, as God's sock puppet.

Straw dogs.

Cheers

As above so below. The hero is god. God is all possible heros. We are all heros, some of us just dont realise it.

The hero is an animatronic character designed to theatrically enact the drama of the journey, his character arc. Animated by empty, hollow, misguided, psychosomatic impulses that make it move and speak and laugh and cry.

'The path' is not awakening, lol. It is the production. That's you. You are literally being played. Right now . Oh yes, God loves you. He thinks you are endlessly cute. Cute heroes trying to attain Godhood. Go you! 

Your life is a lie. The journey is a lie. The path is a lie. They don't lead to awakening, they are what you awaken from.

Cheers 

I don't know man. For me the path keeps on repeating. I don't know how and why to break this cycle, I still have to do something.

yes i love the video as well on how to cultivate love, one of the hardest things to do for the limited ego mind, as were all so selfish. definitely something everyone should strive for, being more loving.

In addition to this topic I would like to add this video by Bentinho about living your purpose and the balance between love & wisdom:

That's the journey, the work, the surrender, the drama, and the lie. The whole thing plays out entirely within illusion. Where else, right? Ego is illusory, so ego-death can only be an illusory event. Realization of truth can only be an illusory event. Un-enlightenment itself can only be illusory. In truth, God is never not enlightened. Of course not. It's God.

Beautiful

Cheers!

Start a video reports mega thread. 

We should have an entire section on the forum for training, applying and embodying leo's videos. Doing the work.

I like the idea of video reports.

 

Like for example I completely destroyed one of my ideologies in an afternoon utilizing Leo's Worksheet on the video How ideology Works.
