Quite likely. Maybe even hard drugs too like cocaine or meth. I find it hard to believe he only used one drug.

His spiritual musings were never the issue. The issue is that he lost all common sense. He didn't think about negative outcomes at all. He didn't fail at spirituality, he failed at basic survival. You can't become so spiritual that you start swimming with crocodiles thinking God will save you. No, God will eat you.

It's called self-deception, rationalization, denial. I never bought his act for a minute. Of course YouTube involves some acting. I act a bit too on camera. But he was also losing his common sense and acting reckless. Some are born to be clowns, some chimpanzees. If you don't care about truth, I don't see how you can do true spirituality.

Both are wrong. You don't need exceptionalism nor guilt. Just understanding. Empire is inherently evil because it is coercive and extractive. Violates the sovereignty of others for profit.

Yes, but it goes deeper than that. Enlightenment is not God-Realization even. Enlightened people do not understand God.

When you play a character long enough, you become that character. Hell, that's what you've been doing your whole life. Do you have your character, or does your character have you?

You are still talking about human love. That's fine. But there is a higher level. I talk down at it because otherwise you will get trapped in it.

No! Not at all. Interviewing me counts for nothing. He never understood me. My words went in one ear and out the other. You can't understand what I'm talking about by interviewing me for 7 hours. LOL. He hasn't fallen into it. He was born and raised in it, like fish in water.

Yeah, but he is trying to understand Existence. Understanding Existence is spirituality. Existence is God. Existence is Divine. He barked up an Infinite tree. I offered to personally help him Awaken. He refused. He would be Awake by now if he listened to me. I can't save you guys from yourselves.

I do not deny his mystical experiences. I'm sure they were profound for him. But care about truth he did not. He got so corrupted because truth was never a priority for him. He is a case-study in why truth is the highest value. Truth is the one thing that could have saved him. If you do not set truth as your top value, things will not end well for you with this work.

It is like watching a slow-moving train wreck.

SCIENCE IS HALLUCINATION. Science has no reality at all for me. To me science is childish.

Shooting fire!

Not nearly openminded enough to understand Consciousness. He is too cowardly to reach GOD. He is not willing to deconstruct science. He still thinks science understands anything.

It's called majoring in the minors.

LOL

This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.

I doubt he does. But I haven't followed him lately. Just based on what I know of him, he has not transcended the academic paradigm, which means no serious God will be realized.

The irony is that Clav could easily get a solid girlfriend if he stopped all the gimmickry and was just nice and polite. Being a douche does not help you get girls. It turns off more girls than it attracts.

Yes, we have a thread about it in the Spirituality subforum.

That doesn't mean they have any clue what it is. Nonduality has become a watered down buzz word. Most people using this word have no idea how radical true nonduality is.

I doubt that. You have other stuff going on in addition to spiritual experience.

@Inception What is your mental health history? Awakening is quite different for people with mental health issues.

The winning mentality is to not betray yourself for sex, fame, and money. But that's too much to expect of men these days.
