Truth is first order but self deception will trap you into thinking that second order, or concept, is Truth. And then you don't actually awake. @Consilience understands the difference but most will not. Either way ultimately you must become your own Master. After which everything else just becomes, well, second order. Yes, you must eventually let go of the guru, or of the meditation practice, but it doesn't negate their value whatsoever.

Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Okay, enough monkey business. Go do something useful. None of this will be resolved with more talking. You shouldn't believe anything I say, rather pursue whatever is true for you. Edited September 27, 2022 by Leo Gura You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Posted September 27, 2022 This topic devolved into a sad mixture of meta-ironic guru double-speak and sarcastic jokes. it's almost like somebody is going to be thrown out from the forum again.
