Nice! It's true of course, but still, on a practical level it seems like practicing love is not enough without also changing your state of conscioussness somehow. You can't really love from a low state of consciousness, and these fucking entities should know that. -
Yes A cup of tomato juice is like razors in your stomach. Fiber is far from the only problem. Any plant sugars feed SIBO.

@James123 You are the kind of guy that if I threw a banana in your face, you would deny that it hit you -
Vegan diet is definitely the diet I feel worst on. It does not work for me at all, and I tried it multiple times. And it is basically impossible to do vegan diet when you got a bad case of SIBO. You would be in so much pain you would want to kill yourself.

Basically yes. You need to complete 5 or 10 years of basic self-help work before you can start to appreciate the value of higher things like God or Love or consciousness or Truth or spirituality. Nothing wrong with that. You can't grow faster than you're able. Spend the next 5-10 years building your basic success in life. Then come back and we'll talk about God. -

Yes there is. Try it. They just won't have labels and associations. But they will still be there. And still, fruits grow on trees, regardless of whether you learned language or not. A monkey can still understand fruits and trees. Again, you have gotten yourself stuck in this very narrow version of wokeness. Why are you so stubborn? Why not relax your rigid rules? Learn to play and be creative. Use the mind creatively, if your mind is truly free. Doesn't sound like your mind is truly free though. -
Yes, of course, in the absolute sense. Not evil or separate, just selfish and greedy. There is no good reason Amazon cannot pay taxes and pay its workers well. Of course if I was Jeff Bezos I would not just be like him, I would behave identical to him because I would literally be him! And if Jeff Bezos was Leo, he would be criticizing billionaires Don't forget that nonduality cuts both ways. If you ask Leo to be more understanding of billionaires, then don't forget to ask billionaires to be more understanding of Leo.

The same a tree creates fruits. Trees don't need to think to create. Ironically, your position on all this awakening business is too narrow-minded. You keep hammering a single nail over and over again. But there are other nails. -
I do believe that in general, business people and businesses will be forced to become more conscious or go extinct. But the question is at what pace this happens and to what extent. And there there are practical concerns about how much to tax them, how to regulate them, etc. I don't have a problem with people earning lots of money by truly generating lots of value for mankind via genuine creative labor. What I have a problem with is business-people who leech and exploit the working class. And either way, even those genuine creative folk need to be taxed and regulated more. If you earn over $5 mill per year, you should be taxed very heavily because the only reason you're able to earn that much money is thanks to a community and a society. You are not doing it on your own. The community is allowing you to do it. Therefore you should not be allowed to keep doing it at the expense of the community. No one would be pissed off at billionaires if they paid their taxes and paid their employees well and didn't corrupt the political system. Those are the real issues. Stop being a dick. That's all we're asking for.

Well, this is a rather uncharitable and self-serving position to take. Many people claim to have healed their gut with carnivore, and to dismiss these genuine people as liars or deluded doesn't sound wise. Perhaps the one fooling yourself in this case is you. I'm not saying it's guaranteed to work. But to claim it cannot work is not right since there is no possible way you have tested every person and their conditions. You're just speculating in a dogmatic fashion. I am also not claiming that carnivore diet is some ultimate long-term health plan. When it comes to health and nutrition it's very important to respect the fact that people are different. What works for you will not work for everyone. I have no ideological attachment to any diet. I simply try them all out and see what works best for me. Currently carnivore is the best thing I found for my body. But that might change in the future as my health improves.

Leo Gura replied to LastThursday's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yup. The only obstacle is a sense of finite self. Whenever you think of yourself as something less than EVERYTHING, that's the obstacle. Anything less than EVERYTHING isn't your full nature. Look at a toilet and whisper to yourself, "That's me!" And keep doing that until you stop feeling human. -
Leo Gura replied to Adamq8's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's exactly God's logic. You just created that, silly goose. -
Leo Gura replied to Adamq8's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Because you are already creating exactly what you see. The ego thinks that God can use its infinite powers to do egoic stuff. Wrong! God cannot use its powers for anything but Infinite Love. So in sense God is totally powerless because God cannot be anything but Love. There is no choice about it. God cannot not be God. So here you are. You cannot not be you. You think beocoming God will make you powerful, but it will make you totally powerless. Because power and powerlessness are a duality which must come full-circle. The seeking of power is ego. So of course it must collapse. -
Leo Gura replied to CBDinfused's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yeah, well, and Jesus told you are God. So who you gonna believe? You see that belief is not gonna cut it here. -
Leo Gura replied to CBDinfused's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Hehe... Or maybe it's the other way around Find out for yourself which is which. But there is no contradiction between Truth, Love, God, and Nothingness. These are all facets of the same exact thing. All the greatest mystics teach about Love. Don't poo-poo that clue -
Leo Gura replied to Meditationdude's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Meditationdude Perhaps take some time to develop non-spiritual aspects of yourself, like your nutrition, your relationships, your career. Too much existential/spiritual work can become counter-productive. You gotta balance it out with more ordinary work. Like, go work on your career, build some skills, make some sales. Then come back to spirituality and you'll appreciate it more. -
Leo Gura replied to CBDinfused's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Everything is God. So here it is. I'm not blasting out of my mind right this moment, but I'm aware that this room I'm sitting in is God. You don't need to be tripping balls to know your present experience is God. -
@intotheblack Diet, diet, diet! What do you eat? Start by seriously cleaning that up. Your nutrition has a HUGE impact on your cognitive function, poor concentration, and sleepiness.

I call those extremists. They are loud, but they are not massive. If you watch a lot of progressive YT, then you get a warped picture of Biden and his popularity. Progressives whine and yell a lot, but in the end Biden is very popular and most people tolerate him well enough. There will always be those 20% of the far right and left which can never be pleased because what they want is so unrealistic. I doubt Bernie Sanders would have been able to pass much better bills than Biden. The bottleneck is not Biden, it's the Republicans who stonewall everything, even moderate stuff. Until the Dems have a solid grasp over the Senate and House, Bernie is useless as President.

God is not an object. God is an infinite field of consciousness which imagines all objects. This field is Nothing. -
In US urban areas Blue is quickly dying out. For consevatives to win the popular vote they need lots of stage Blue support, but this kind of support is dying out fast as Americans shift Orange. Trump appealed a lot to Orange conservatives. It is possible to overpower Green by appealing to Blue/Orange, which was Trump's strategy. But it's also possible to overpower Blue by appealing to Green/Orange, which Biden did. And also Biden isn't so threatening to Blue. Biden exhibits many healthy Blue qualities. So overall Biden hits all the right notes with Blue, Orange, Green. There is a bit there for everyone to like and not much to hate. It's hard to hate Biden. This is one of the keys to his success. The only people who hate Biden are extremists, who are a minority.

You gotta factor in inflation. Inflation will cause both stock values and house values to rise. The whole point of a house is that it's an inflation hedge. That's mostly why I bought my house.

@CBDinfused Love IS Nothing. There is no contradiction. -

What nonsense is this? An enlightened entity is infinitely spread over the whole Universe. There are no multiple entities. There is only YOU -- God. When you fully awaken you become everyone and everything.
