That is not at all what I mean by Alien Consciousness. Be careful with those books. They are not much more than beliefs and stories. If you cannot validate it in your direct experience, you cannot consider it true. It is extremely easy to fall into self-deception with those books. Just because something sounds nice or profound does not make it true and it is not in the same realm as Awakening. -

Debate skillz are not political analysis skillz. -

@Juan There are higher priorities than your profits.

It varies. Sometimes I get heavy nausea, other times not. Yes

1) Obviously not everyone is a rapist. 2) They are barbarians mostly because of the situation they have been forced into. They are not evil people per se, but in the Russian military if you refuse to follow their barbaric orders your own men will shoot you in head. You will get orders to launch a rocket into a schoolhouse, and if you don't follow it you're gonna get in trouble. 3) They are literally emptying prisons in Russia and sending murderers, rapists, and psychopaths into the front line. The war crimes happening in Ukraine are nuts. These Russians have no respect, honor, or professionalism. These are not professional soldiers. Which is why I call them barbarians.

It largely doesn't because the mind is a very powerful beast and people do not automatically gain political insight, knowledge, and expertise simply through enlightenment, meditation, or spiritual practice. Politics is its own specific domain. The mind is filled with so much bias and cultural conditioning that no amount of enlightenment will fix it. And I don't think Langan has even had enlightenment. What I notice is that most spiritual people have bad politics, because spirituality does to teach anyone how to think, it just teaches them a set of dogmatic practices and spiritual paradigms. But that is not the same as a deep study and critical thinking about how complex social systems work. Having good politics requires thinking very independently and originally. But most spiritual schools teach people to stop thinking, not systems thinking. To have good politics requires a deep study and critical study of history and social dynamics. No amount of meditation or mystical experience will get you that. For the same reason spiritual people are bad at running a large business. The Buddha would not know how to manage a company like Walmart. -
I don't think a TikTok ban is unreasonable.

I'm not experienced with it, but from what I've researched it's basically a lot of intense visualization and concentration exercises. Like, imagine spending 4 hours per day, for 10 years, visualizing intensely that your fingers can light a match on fire. And then if you do that intensely enough maybe one day you will be able to do it. Although there's no guarantees so you could just end up wasting a lot of your life energy on nonsense. -

It's all imaginary. This is a trap. You have to stop thinking about the awakenings of others. Just focus on your own. -

Not for a long time. Courses are first priority. -
Leo Gura replied to Leo Gura's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It would take an entire course for you to understand it. -

I REPEAT! Nobody on this planet comprends GOD except for ME. I am the only creature on this entire planet who understands GOD. NO ONE ELSE! NO ONE! None of these nondual/enlightenment idiots understands GOD. None of them! They are all self-deceived. ENLIGHTENMENT IS A SELF-DECEPTION. -
Yes. It's not so much a desire to vomit as a very strong, queasy body-load. It feels uncomfortable. I just endure it. It's usually only bad for the first 10 mins. Once fully in the trip it becomes irrelevant.

1) Reality is infinitely complex. 2) I have achieved complete comprehension of reality. The only way to realize GOD is through comprehension. Comprehension is the whole game. Everything else is junk. You cannot meditate your way to comprehension. GOD is capable of fully comprehending itself. The only problem is that most humans never even bother to attempt it. Fools have brainwashed you into believing that comprehension is some ego thing. They could not be more wrong. -
It is perfect.

Sounds like the dose was too low. A serious trip on 5-MeO-MALT should blow your mind to pieces until you are shitting in the middle of your living room floor. Yes, it tends to be quite nauseating. That's the price of admission. You just bite the bullet and jump in.

Leo Gura replied to PenguinPablo's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I am tired of explaining this over and over again when it is so simple. GOD IS ABSOLUTE SOLIPSISM. There is nothing outside your Mind. Your Mind simply is the entirely of reality. REALITY IS YOUR MIND. Period. This is what is true in your experience. Everything else is games. Your job is to learn to LOVE the TRUTH. So stop playing games and just fall in love with truth. If you insist on playing games, you will suffer. Do not create a belief system out of this. Either you are directly conscious of it or you are not. If you are not, then stop torturing yourself with ideas of people being "unreal". Ideas and beliefs are not what is being pointed to. Your idea that others are "unreal" and that this is bad -- is also imaginary. That's not AWAKENING. If you're feeling bad about it, you didn't get it. EVERYTHING is imaginary. And that's the best way things could possibly be. So stop worrying about it. All your worry is pointless. Just trust that GOD is Perfect. -
@cjoseph90 It's usually very obvious to a guy early on if he's willing to commit to you, or just interested in some casual sex.

@axiom Banned @spiritual memes Banned @vladorion Banned I repeat. Nobody here is AWAKE or understands what GOD is. I will ban anyone who is arrogant and not here to learn. Do not preach your Buddhist/nondual shit to me. I will not only ban you from this forum, I will ban you from ever accessing any of my courses or work. -

That's a pretty old book. But he's also biased due to his experience with academia. This is a consistent problem with people who react against academia and universities. They see the corruptions of the university first-hand, up close, but then they forget that universities are not at all representative of average people. And so even the dumbest things that happen on a university campus are way smarter than what is happening in a church in the Alabama. -

Yes. I'm not saying anything super complicated. Just telling you to question deeper and don't settle for easy answers provided by nondualists and Buddhists. Basically, 99% of spirituality is dogma. Even all the stuff based in meditative experience and self-inquiry. It's still all infested with dogma, assumptions, biases, and paradigms. Having some "enlightenment" DOES NOT break you free of your paradigms, it locks you deeper into them until you start to believe you're not even inside a paradigm. But I am telling you that you're still inside a paradigm, and that paradigms keeps you from realizing GOD. -
