I mentioned the colors of most countires in my Spiral mini-series.

@PukkaDanks Make sure you broaden your sources and research. I get the feeling some of you just watch my videos and then whatever I say, you think is the right thing for you to do. The LP must come AUTHENTICALLY from you, not from copying stuff I say because it's just the shit that's at the top of your mind because your mind is filled with my videos. Double-check that you are not just aping me. Have the courage to find what is authentically within you (which I did not put there).

@CreamCat Killing men?? Who are you talking about? No serious person fits that description. If you are going to use your mind to cherry-pick the worst of the worst, you're in big trouble. You have to look at the center of gravity of groups, not at fringe nutcases.

@CreamCat Psychopathic? Lol I don't think you understand what that word means. Do some feminists go overboard? Sure. Jailing people without a trial is wrong and should be resisted. But this does not make feminists Red or psychopaths. It's just a political position you disagree with. A Red psychopath is Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers.

@CreamCat Wilber criticizes Green from above. Peterson criticizes Green from below. It's very important to distinguish where the criticism is coming from and what the proposed solutions are. It's possible to criticize Trump, for example, for not being conservative enough -- the way a Nazi might criticize him. That does not make the Nazi a good guy to listen to. P.S. I don't find Wilber an astute political analyst. At this point in time the moderate right wing is a far greater threat than any potential radical left. What goes on in universities should not be compared to what is going on at the national level. There are no serious radical leftist voices in mainstream politics at all. You do not see socialism being seriously discussed in mainstream American politics AT ALL. No one is talking about elimination of private property. When you start seeing serious political pundits on CNN advocating for abolition of private property, THEN you might have a point to worry about some sort of radical leftism movement. Until then, it's a tempest in a teapot.

@RichardY Well, as long as your juvenile mind is entertained I guess the rest of us can disregard all the human misery his administration is causing, from droning civilians to caging children to shredding environmental regulations.

Leo Gura replied to graded24's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@graded24 You are overlooking the obvious: what you see is all there is. Nothing is a simulation or even an experience of anything. You have 100% direct access to Absolute Truth at all times. Everything you see is directly the Absolute Truth. But simply by virtue of your belief that you are a seperate self, you are missing this most obvious think. Nothing is hidden. The reason you aren't understanding it is because for you to understand it you would have to realize, "Oh fuck! There is no me!!!" And you are not yet prepared to that. Because you are only considering solutions which assume that you were born. Except you were never born. Your birth is just a story. If there is no you, there is no one who is perceiving experience. Which means experience isn't really experience, but Absolute Truth. -
Nobody is totally wrong. Hitler was not totally wrong. Every perspective always has some grain of truth in it.
-
@RichardY Are you trying to say Trump is not a moron? Cause even all of his closest aids and colleagues acknowledge as much. The only ones who think Trump is not a moron are those who are at roughly his level of consciousness.

You must buy the books. Don't be cheap. There is no such thing as an "online library". That is called copyright infringement. By buying books, you support the authors who wrote them.

@PukkaDanks What is the most meaningful way to you to raise the world's consciousness? Be concrete. What do you mean by "raising consciousness" and why is that meaningful to you? Why is business being used to achieve this impact and not something else? Why is business meaningful to you? What is the point of business?
-
You could make a religion out of science, and even Absolute Truth itself.

Leo Gura replied to How to be wise's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
As I've said, don't be so damned literalist about it. It's a useful model when used properly, within limits. Once you start debating if someone is 755 or 756, you've stumbled in your own stupidity. What you should be more concerned with are the general differences between the 600 range, 700 range, 800 range, 900 range, and so on. -
@Kosmos I watched a 2 hr debate on God by JP and Matt Dillahunty. In those 2 hours he never once said what God is. Because he does not know. I can tell you what God is in two words: Absolute Infinity
-
Joe puts on a nice shirt for his date with Elon. Lol
-
@Kosmos Yes, I've seen JP's mystical experience video. So what of it? He got a tiny glimpse but not deep enough to understand what it really was. Stage Blue people commonly have mystical experiences which they misinterpret in a dualistic, ethnocentric manner. Plenty of Evangelicals see Jesus. The fact that it takes JP 20 minutes to mumble his way through a conversation about God clears shows he does not know what God is. JP's intuition is right: God is real. But God is not anything JP thinks it is. God is total nihilism. Zero. The tragedy of JP's situation is that his entire philosophy is denying him access to God. If you follow JP, you will almost certainly never find God.

I do so strategically. Spirituality is the facing of one's own death. To not say that is simply to lie about what spirituality is. There is no way to do genuine spirituality without facing one's death. Obviously don't physically harm the body.
-
Goodness is pure being. The being that remains after death of the self. Think about it, once you're dead, how can anything be bad when bad is always relative to ego? Badness becomes impossible without an ego. After death, nothing can hurt you. You become immortal. There is reason for Truth. Truth is just the only thing that is. If you want to live wrapped in lies you're free to do so.

Scott Adams is a fool. I'm not mind-reading. I'm just conscious of how my own ego works and therefore how all egos work. Sniffing out bullshit like Trump's or Scott Adam's become very easy once you're conscious enough.

Leo Gura replied to Misagh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Misagh It is predominately the case! Human development tends to be very lopsided. You can have an enlightened person with poor social skills and who is a horny dog who molests his students. Or he could be a sociopath who starts a cult. You could have an enlightened person who thinks all religons except Christianity are wrong. -
Leo Gura replied to Misagh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Actually mostly the opposite. The percentage of the population who are at a stage of development where they can pursue enlightenment is extremely low. Most people will require 10-20 years of ordinary personal dev work before they can seriously pursue enlightenment. Because they are not ripe for it. I am not a strict enlightenment teacher, and Actualized.org's goals go way beyond what people like Tolle or Mooji or Ramana taught. We have a much broader scope here, attempting to understand all dimensions of life: sexual, political, social, emotional, physical, philosophical, scientific, astral, religious, linguistic, motivational, business, leadership, ecology, art, etc. We do not stop or start with nonduality. -
Leo Gura replied to Misagh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Do not confuse enlightenment for development. You can be enlightened but still at a crude, ethnocentric level of development, or at a crude level of moral, emotional, sexual, or political developement. -
Leo Gura replied to Misagh's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Yes, really. Not everything is ego. Minds are good tools when used properly. -
Leo Gura replied to MrEgoless's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@MrEgoless Stop eating wheat and sugar and you will protect your enamel without needing chemicals. -
Lol By that logic we should not teach children math, or train dogs not to piss indoors, or teach anyone nonduality. If their karma is right, all of those things will happen spontaneously. ----- Be careful how you apply your absolute insights in the relative domain. Or such absurdities as above will result. To teach nonduality without shadow work is downright irresponsible. Every serious spiritual tradition has strong injunctions against Zen devilry. Making a better world is part of the package, not optional. No one wants to live with Nazis and criminals.
