You can be around normies as long as you don't have to live by their corrupt ways. But if you are too close to them long enough they will rope you into their corrupt ways. Which is why the wise live at a safe distance. Sick people always rope you into their sickness because they do not know health.

Pain is a form. Formlessness has nothing in it. Obviously there cannot be any pain in God's purest state. The annihilation of form is how absolute purity is acheived. Nothing negative or bad can exist if nothing specific exists. All evil is specific. Absolute Good is nonspecific.

Yes. You will be just Truth/Existence without any content. You do not need to lose perception, you can just become conscious that all perception is occurring within Truth/Existence. Truth/Existence is the emptiness you are refering to. You are refering to the conditon of Truth. Truth exists regardless of content or form. If you eliminate all perception and the entire universe, what would remain is just empty Truth. What you haven't understood yet is that what you call perception or awarenss is about the condition of Truth. Truth exists at all times. Truth is what illuminates perception and gives awareness. Awareness is not what humans think it is. It's just Truth. Truth is everpresent. Truth is Absolute.

God is unbiased in the formless sense. But if God is incarnated as a living organism then it is biased against pain. God can have biases, but that means God is taking on some finite form. God wears many masks. Each mask is a bias. God can be unbiased but then God is wearing no mask and then God cannot be seen. If you want total nonbias then you have to accept total formlessness.

Corruption is not a moral issue, it is an issue of lack of consciousness and untruthfulness. Everything is Good from God's POV. Not from the human POV. Politics is discussed from the human POV. Corruption is a problem for humans.

I was reading detailed accounts of how Saddam Hussein's secret police would torture prisons. They would take the prisoner's small children, lock the children in a room with a glass window, throw in a hive of bees, and force the parents to watch through the window as the children ran around screaming while the bees stung them to death. If you think you understand suffering, think again.

What you're missing is that if you have no self then literally there is no bad. Bad only exists for an attached self. God is so conscious that bad cannot exist from its POV. You're still looking at things from a selfish POV, which is why you are confused by it. Bad does not exist for a rock.

Of course! I posted about this on my blog years ago.

The logic here is much more existential. Israelis literally need to kick Palestinians off the land in order to have a Jewish nation. It is critical to understand that for understanding this conflict. It is a zero-sum game for them. Israel cannot exist without ethnic cleansing. Once you buy into the idea that Israel needs to exist, you accept the ethnic cleansing project.

It is easy to be authentic when you hold no power and no responsiblity. Venting online is very authentic. But it's a freedom people in positions of responsibility and power mostly do not have.

I just read stories from the Holocaust. A small Jewish girl asked a Nazi soldier to shoot her instead of going to the gas chambers. So he shot her. Then he threw her body into a burning pit of corpses and walked away. Only to hear her screaming as she was burning alive. The bullet didn't kill her. You guys have no understanding whatsoever of the horrors and suffering that are possible in this life. You are ignorant of suffering. Anyone who thinks he is beyond suffering is a deluded idiot. All of your spirituality will vanish when a Nazi shots you in the face. You guys need to get real.

That would be Ken Wilber's title.

It means you don't understand.

That's how unhealthy Stage Blue behaves. They are just Blue survival zombies. That's what a Nazi is. It is not that they are Nazis, they are Blue, and Nazis happen to be Blue.

That's a misconception. The Zen master does not live among the commoners, he lives alone and occassionally mingles in the market. That's how I roll by default.

Horzontal, vertical... it's all made up. You cannot box Consciousness like that. All this will be taught at the retreat.

You are hallucinating anesthesia.

Then you really don't know me.

This work has nothing to do with superiority. You are merely seeking greater consciousness of God. If you do that seriously it will automatically make you superior. But that is irrelevant because Consciousness is the only thing that matters. As an adult among children you know you are so superior that it doesn't even need to be said or thought. This work will make you an adult among children, a lion among sheep, an eagle among pidgeons, a whale among fish, an alien among men.

No. It isn't. What I am saying requires such high intelligence to understand that 99.9999% humans have never and will never understand it. Intelligence is nothing personal. You can't fake it. You can't BS your way around it. You can't read it in any book. Fully realizing God requires insane intelligence. Mindless meditation techniques are not enough. You can't note and label your way to Intelligence! You can't self-inquire your way to Intelligence! The sheer intelligence of the highest things I understand is just astonishing. This is not a debate. I understand things you do not. Nothing personal about it. You too could understand, if your mind was open.

Make sure it has an oceanside view.

I am beyond that. And no, what I teach is not group-think. If you guys turn it into that, that's on you. I didn't teach it that way. What I teach is so not group-think that most of you still don't get it because you need it to fit the spiritual group-think you see everywhere else. When it finally comes to choosing between the radical things I say and group-think, most of you will choose the group-think because it fits your human needs more, and after all, 'Leo is just some arrogant guy trying to be better than everyone else'.

No. I make no metaphysical claim when I say that chemicals raise your consciousness. This is a pragmatic claim. Chemistry and the brain are imaginary. Materialism is entirely false. There is no chemical, but you'd be a fool not to take it

@TheGod You have a human life and a human psyche. That cannot handle Infinite Love.

That's why monks live in seclusion. Once you are deeply conscious society has little to offer you.
