Leo Gura

Of course they would. Which is why we need to quickly indoctrinate them with religion or science before that can happen. If we didn't do that, society as we know it would collapse.

Yes, imagination is of course actual. But there is an important difference as the following analogy illustrates: A photograph of a cheeseburger is a real thing, but it is not a cheeseburger and you cannot eat it. The problem is that many people (including you) have convinced themselves that photographs of cheeseburgers are actual cheeseburgers. And now you are saying, "But Leo!!! Aren't photographs real?" Yes they are! But that isn't the issue. The issue is, you have confused photographs with cheeseburgers.

You are always welcome to prove me wrong by making something of yourself. I call you lazy to goad you into action. It's the digital equivalent of throwing a cup of cold water in your face. Buddhists call this "skillful means". I know an old Zen master who would grab his students by the balls and squeeze them hard. So consider yourselves lucky

It's an act, done tongue-in-cheek. Don't take it too seriously. I play around to keep myself entertained. What else is there to do? Lecture dead seriously? How boring! One of the most important aspects of this work is to be playful and unpredicatable. Life is a stage and you are an actor whether you realize it or not. Act consciously.

@How to be wise Of course

@ItO Don't trust anything. Find what is truth. Are your doubts truth?

@MM1988 No, yoga is not concepts. Yoga is actuality. I said to forget yoga because you get lost chasing fantasies of what yoga is. Yoga is looking at your hand. But with all that said, if you have a yoga practice do not stop it. What I said was for the purposes of that video.

It's not gonna do much by itself. It is a powerful catalyst for other psychedelics. But be very careful with it. It's easy to x10-x20 your dose and you must observe proper diet and never do it with certain substances like 5-MeO or it could kill you.

There are degrees of how conscious of your hand you are. Psychedelics really help reveal this.

Yoga is excellent! "Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." -- Emerson

@Samra Electrons are concepts. Notice this.

It's not about having faith. It just describes many people's personalities accurately. At least it does for my personality. Just don't confuse personality with your existential nature. Those are very distinct things.

How do you want it structured?

Electrons are consciousness. Just like everything else.

Sales can occur at any stage of the Spiral. If your sales is manipulative, that's because the stage you are at is manipulative. Who you are colors everything you do, from sex, to spirituality, to entertainment, to sales. Orange people have no problem with sleazy used car salesmen tactics, just like stage Red people have no problem taking a baseball bat to your knee caps.

@How to be wise All you are saying is that Turquoise is more evolved than Green. Which is of course true. Yes, Green has plenty of ego.

Don't expect Eckhart Tolle to know how to repair your PC.

@SBB4746 Watch your assumptions. Buddha and Jesus both had spiritual masters guiding them: the Buddha had yogis and Jesus had John the Baptist, by the looks of it. In a sense, becoming enlightened today is many times harder than 2000 years ago due to media, education system, science, and rationality. The better the model the bigger the problem.

If you are distinguishing God from its Creation, you are still in duality.

@Baotrader I am mocking Jordan Peterson.

@Joseph Maynor That's because Joseph hasn't gone all the way yet to see the full circle. Watch out for half-assed enlightenment. There is still a subtle dualism in your understanding. You are separating God from its creation. Which is only one side of the coin. All dualities must collapse. You cannot have illusion on the one hand and something else on the other.

Lol... If God is ALL, then what are you? Something outside the ALL? Classic Zen devilry.

Curiosity killed the cat.

You are still thinking in dualities. Maya is none other than God, Brahman, and the Absolute. You cannot get rid of Maya. Nor should you want to. Maya is all form. But form is not other than formlessness. Nonduality means embracing both, not elevating one over the other. Relative and Absolute must be ONE. God's creation is not seperate from God, it IS God!
