Another reason why myth and biblical study, etc., is so important is because, when you look at the parallels in everything, sometimes our first thought/initial inclinations brings us towards, "This name contains that figures name, so it must be that thats who it is...", except that, containment ≠ identity—which is to say, in mythology especially, you have layers of containment (this name contains that name, and that name is in the same context as this) And at first glance, it feels like theres alot of interrelated things going on, making it like an impossible web of relations. So basically, the first point to understand is how, containment doesnt automatically mean that thats what something is... The Hebrew Jeshua has Yahweh saves (us), it doesnt mean that~now that weve found Yahweh in his name, that Jeshua must be Yahweh. If that was the case then every single name in Hebrew and Greek Septuagint is talking about Yahweh, wherein characters are talking, but they are really talking to Yahweh AS Yahweh. You could just make a book that said "Yahweh spoke to hiself for 4,000 years, up to his birth, crucifiction, and resurrection", like... That is to make a point about the traps people fall into when learning about such things. Mythology even more so, it has some serious and hard to interpret layers, which by finding your own system or methods, can help in going bout said layers in an orderly & scholarly manner, that is fair to what we know thus far, what we can say for sure. Also, you want to specify what is speculation, cause technically ALL of it is speculation if you do a rough boildown, so finding a system to separate it all is important, but that goes back to what i said in regards to method.

@Leo GuraConsider the perspective that this channel maybe moving from simple self-help to spiritual narcissism. Your old videos are better than most recent ones. Also, remember that people who act like devil view themselves as God and I am not saying I am perfect since, I am too flawed but consider reflecting back on your claims , your actions,the way you treat others mirrors your own struggles. Consider the possibility that God transcends both - the ugly and the beautiful which makes it beautiful wholly(Captial B). Just my advice and observation.

These are "grounding" activities. (they are about what is present or real) It probably also created a kind of flow state. It's hard to think about yourself when you're focused on what is present, like friends and work. Similar things are making jokes (humor) or really just focusing on anything that is directly perceived (like the breath). Even basic actions like drinking water or eating food are grounding, because they are real. Beautiful, the present (truth) sets you free. Truth can also be non-resistance, or "surrender". I think you're already good. Try some guided meditations on Youtube if you haven't tried them. They should be relaxing, like exiting the shower. Also pay attention to how emotions and feelings change based on what you focus on, that is also insightful. Nothing is wrong with you, nothing about you has really changed. “The unreal never was and the real never ceases to be".

What reason did the Israeli government give for the charges being dropped ? -

@cetus How? Enlighten me. Because I can't snap my fingers and get divine clarity about life. If I'm homeless or starving on the street or having to die into an unknown afterlife from a painful accident then the idea of being here and now doesn't fix the problems of life or produce money or have a life saving saviour nor reduce pain and suffering -

Leo Gura replied to Magnanimous's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Not needed. Waste of time, IMO. Pranayama should start to transform your baseline consciousness upward. Only do techniques that lead to equal or great results. You are always deciding between more pranayama or something else. That something else better be at least as good, which most of them aren't. The only serious contenders are Mahamudra and Supreme Fire. Those are worth testing out vs more pranayama. But you can just start with a year of pranayama and see how it goes. It should be so potent that you don't need anything more. But if you need more, try adding others. Don't start with a bunch of complex things. Simple is best. -
Leo is no Jesus but this post has too many words and little substance. It has potential but failed in many areas to deliver. I could of done better blindfolded.

Ah! I meant - impossible to know if it was genuinely taken on board, considered, and rejected. Or if it was simply speed read over and no attempt was made to understand. I do agree there are some ways to deduct it though -
Unless its weed i cannot even look at a screen on a more potent psychedelic, even at low doses it seems to artificial and repulsive. Like I can see the hologram that its not really there and the people and what i am seeing is totally fabricated / illusory. I mostly enjoy being in nature, lighting a fire, sitting under the stars when i take anything stronger than weed. A screen looks almost evil too me, so foreign and alien under such states.

This looks great, an actual movie, yay.

I was once told a story about the jews and that they were originally humanoid ET's from a slightly more evolved planet who crash landed here some time ago and became corrupted because there was a vibrational mismatch to the consciousness of the planet. Due to their above average intelligence / consciousness, they could easily manipulate the humans who currently lived on earth and greed and evil took over, hence why they rule the world today, created all the wars and funded both sides, manipulated and twisted all the religions, educations, science, medicines ect... and why the richest and most materialistically powerful are all of the same bloodlines and most of the world-leads are off-shoots of their original family bloodlines. Don't mind me, I'm just a conspiracy theorist It was a fun story tho -

Its not impossible. You can just run the convo periodically again and see how he responds to it. If he responds with something similar to "I am the most awake, and everyone else is still full of shit" then from that you can safely infer that he still holds the exact same attitude and position. -
[6/30] ✅ Rough day, but I still meditated, worked-out (run for 30m), and read for 30 minutes. Currently reading Ralston's Pursuing Consciousness. It's a dense one, just like his other books. I want to finish this one and the Genious of Being before I tackle the newest book that I ordered. Weight loss goes very well. It's locked in basically, I'll get my desired result in 6-7 months. Gotta focus on other things with more intention. I realized I need preperatory practices for Kriya Pranayamas, when I did those a year ago, pranayama was more effective. So I need to include those as well. Just a reminder for me, these 30 days are about: getting used to caloric deficit and consistent exercise getting used to spiritual practices avoiding relapses as much as possible That's mostly it.

up there = safe up there = right up there = valuable up there = untouchable To understand Leo's ego(and even our own), check out Karen Horney's "aggressive/expansive" personality in "Neurosis and Human Growth". It's basically how the self comes to organize around superiority. The Expansive resolves inner insecurity by becoming exceptional, superior, and invulnerable. They exhibit: • grandiosity • need to be exceptional • contempt for ordinary humanity • intolerance for weakness • drive toward greatness • belief in one’s unique gifts These coalesce to form what she calls the "Idealized Self", which becomes the organizing principle of the ego. The person constructs a grand image of who they are and the "Search for Glory" begins. From there, a protective mechanism called the "Pride System" forms, which is a collection of strategies used to reinforce and maintain the Idealized Self. The main strategy of the Pride System is contempt for inferiority and mediocrity. Contempt for inferiority/mediocrity starts off as an internal defensive mechanism to protect the Idealized Self, but quickly gets externalized onto people who are seen to be embodying the traits the Idealized Self rejects (weakness, confusion, mediocrity, inferiority, unintelligence). Without corrective measures, the Expansive will eventually find a way to place virtually all humans beneath them, because they will continuously run into humans that threaten their Idealized Self. Horney says they justify their contempt by framing it as "high standards". Which is very interesting because I just came across what seems to be a textbook example of that on Leo's blog. He recently shared a tragic story about a very lost and troubled young woman and his instinct was to use her as an example of human depravity and to equate her and most of humanity's behavior to that of an animal within the first 3 sentences. Then spent the rest of the post explaining that he only sees it this way because he has "high standards". The Pride System needs narratives that feel principled, not self-serving, so it comes up with things like: I reject mediocrity and demand excellence I'm principled, not arrogant I'm not contemptuous, I just see clearly and call things what they are The Expansive isn't conscious of any of this and they don't view themselves as egoic. They truly see themselves as principled, rigorous, strong, and as having the courage to look reality in the face and accept it. And there's definitely truth in that, but the problem is they see only what they want to see regarding themselves, which is that they are above and everyone else is below. Another aspect of the expansive type is that relationships with them are not collaborative/mutual, but hierarchical. To be vulnerable and a mere human engaging with another human on the same level implies "we are fundamentally the same kind of being", which threatens the Idealized Self. Just my theory.
