Leo Gura

Success of finding God on 5-MeO-DMT is really high, like 50%+ How can you ask for anything better? I am happy to stack my teachings against Buddhism. That's why I created them. To be more effective. If any teaching is more effective than mine, then you should use that teaching.

Christianity is still around. If his methods are so great, why is less than 1% of Buddhists enlightened? Is <1% really an acceptable success rate for a religion?

@Carl-Richard Maybe you're too sober, sir. Maybe some salvia will clear up all your concerns. Maybe when salvia rips you a new asshole you'll empathize with Leo a bit more.

Then up God's butt and around the corner.

In the end, everything comes down to who is right? You place your bet, and I will place mine, and we'll see if the coin is heads or tails. Heads I win, tails you lose

And Americans are not Ukrainians. Why are they so concerned?

His methods are pretty weak. They don't work for many people. And they are missing a lot of newer psychological stuff. They are 2000 years old.

In the end we all have no choice but to evaluate ourselves. Even if I go to a therapist, I still have to decide whether what she says is true or not, or worth the money to go come back. And I still have to tell her my traumas. It's not like she will tell them for me. There is no avoiding this issue of self-evaluation. That's why self-deception is such an inescapable bitch. I will never be immune to self-deception, and neither will you. You are speaking theoretically. That doesn't mean I have trauma. You don't know if I do. Don't you think it's wrong to convince someone he has trauma when you don't really know? How is that wise or responsible? I am not opposed to therapy. I have considered it in the past just for the experience of it. I have gone to a psychic therapist in the past. She would read my mind and tell me my traumas, haha. Some of what she said was right, some was wrong. Mixed bag.

Under God's rug.

In theory. But in practice Buddhism is taught dogmatically and most minds never break free of the Buddhist box. Shinzen Young is still in the Buddhism box. Buddhism doesn't give the cognitive development tools to truly break free.

But what if one lizard somehow escapes?!

It doesn't have to, until you are Infinitely Conscious. If you insist on staying in a low state of consciousness then other can exist for you. It is an illusion but you are not conscious enough to know that so it act as if it is real for you. It is like: if you only live on Earth and never fly beyond it, the Earth may as well be flat.

By definition God has no other. God is Infinite Self. Anything other to God would be outside of God, breaking God's Sovereinty and Oneness. God can create pseudo-others. This requires God to lose consciousness of itself. Other exists when God is not fully conscious. Other cannot exist once consciousness rises high enough. So it depends on what degree of consciousness you are speaking from.

How can you disconnect them? It's the same cause. Zionists pissed off all their neighbors.

Not valid in my view because Palestine has legit greivances. US supports lots of proxy groups around the world. Not a reason for Russia to invade America. You can't stop Palestine by war with Iran.

Which is why I had to create my own. The old ones cannot be reformed. Even Buddhism I didn't like. Too conformist.

There's no disagreement. They impact the mind greatly. In positive and negative ways both. The negatives are short-term, the postives are long-term. Psychedelics make the mind unstable. But that instability resolves long-term. My mind is more stable today than ever. Explained above. Instability is a classic problem is spiritual work. It is not specific to psychedelics. Meditation creates it too. Therapy can create it too. Intense self-inquiry. I'm just clear that I don't have trauma. But I have no way of proving it to you. You'll just have to believe me. I have not had a traumatic life. What you think is trauma is just ego.

Absolutely not. Their internal affairs are not our business. Respect the sovereignty of nations. North Korea has nukes. Pakistan has nukes. Israel has nukes. Russia has nukes. Iran having nukes is no big deal. War with Iran is purely a Zionist project. Netanyahu has been pushing that war for 25 years and he can go fuck himself.

Ken Wilber wrote a book: The Religion of Tomorrow Religion is just a set of teachings for reaching God. That's all religion is. But those teachings are usually very corrupt.

Of course it's like me. I grow every year. You haven't even noticed yet how much I grew in the last 2 years. Of course the self is hard to change. The self is always deeply ingrained. It can't change overnight. I used psychedelics to clear out all my trauma. There is none left. Sure, ego is left. But that is being worked on. What you point out is ego and self. Yeah, that needs work. It's also an issue of communication style. That also needs work.

Of course I've analyzed this a lot. When I try to communicate very radical degrees of consciousness to you guys, you interpret it as me trying to be superior to other teachers, when I am honestly just trying to communicate a very radical degree of consciousness. I don't know how else to communicate it. I do not care about other teachers. The only thing I care about is getting people to reach the consciousness I know exists. I know for sure that there exist levels of consciousness which enlightenment teachers will never lead you to. Stuff that Ralston and Rupert Spira will never lead you to. That's the rub.

@Carl-Richard If you are saying that you want me to be more mature in my communications, I agree with you and I am and will be doing that. That is an important aspect of my work that I am improving. And I am open to hearing suggestions for how to improve that.

No. I am serious. This work is so deep that I am not a master at it. That is the truth. In the field of epistemology, that might be true. But not in the field of spirituality.

I don't consider myself a master. Again, I am not as arrogant as I might seem. I am very conscious of my limits.

I have said many times, it is not about superiority. It is about depth of understanding reality. Obviously being superior to other people means nothing at all. There is no happiness to be found in feeling superior. This is a foolish thing to even care about. The goal is depth of understanding. And this is difficult to achieve, involving serious mental and emotional struggle. Some of that struggle you see in me since I am public about it. Understanding is real and has nothing to do with flashy experiences. You guys keep taking me for a fool.
