You guys are so touchy. -
A lot of times women choose men who are very poor at providing. I don't really have a problem if women would choose only providers. The problem is that they often don't. Basically a woman's mating choices are not logical but purely emotional. Which is a terrible way to mate. That's like eating only food that tastes the best.

My teachings will not work on everyone. Only on those who are ripe for it. This is basicallly true of all spiritual teachings. You gotta find what will work for you. Psychedelics don't work on some people at all. But psychedelics do work on a good percentage of people. Moreso than meditation. -
Obviously God is in a neverending process of self-exploration. You can think of God as a verb rather than a noun. It's all worth exploring if you drop your biases. The finite Leo does not want to explore all parts, but the infinite God does.

First, I dispute the veracity of your mythologized accounts of his life, or any sage's life. Second, even if what you say is true, that only supports my point that he was a genetic freak. Since obviously he didn't earn it. Normal people don't just have, boom, sudden awakening. Third, nice Fruedian slip And the only people who would even entertain the idea of doing that are the highly gifted ones. Don't take motivation for granted. Motivation is half the battle. Yes, I have special genetics in two ways: 1) I am extremely intelligent and intuitive. My father was also extremely intelligent. I don't know how to quantify my intelligence exactly but if you could quantify it somehow it would probably be in the top 0.0001% of humans. 2) My genetics allows me to have psychedelics awakening that are deeper than possibly anyone on this planet. I do work hard but without the above my work would do little. -

So according to you a kangaroo is just someone who hasn't don't enough spiritual practice? And how does a kangaroo go about fixing this situation? -
So that's where all the Disney money went to. Interesting....

Dude, he was a complete genetic freak. There was nothing normal about it. If he was a normal kid, he's be shoveling shit for a living and chasing girls. Just to be interested in meditation already requires you to be freak of mankind. All your meditative accomplishments were only possible thanks to the right genetics. Which is why you don't find donkey's following Buddhism. -
@ValiantSalvatore Certainly manual work has its value in rewiring your mind. My only point is that there is only some much that you can shift your consciousness through manual work because your neurotransmitters basically stay the same. No amount of manual work will get you to a breakthrough salvia level of consciousness. This does not mean your manual work is bad. It just means it's limited. Think of it like working on your car. You can improve it in any ways, but you will never modify your car enough to explore the moon.

Buddha was born a rich entitled kid who got everything handed to him. It's a lot easier to awaken when you aren't a wage slave and you have a harem of women. Jesus was certainly born with special powers. As a kid the other kids feared him because he killed a kid by cursing him. You guys love to mythologize these guys. -
It's always hard to tell because they could be fake. Such things need to be seen in-person, not via video. Is it possible? Sure. But a video will never prove it.

Yes, those are helpful. But they are also quite limited because they are hard to produce in a controlled manner and you are still limited by your default neurotransmitters. I would not recommend it for most people. But for those who are very serious and willing to accept full responsibility for the dangers, it is a powerful tool. Noted. How else can God know itself unless it experiences ALL of itself? If you think about it logically for a minute you'll see that God must want to experience all of itself because this is necessary for God to be Omniscient. You cannot be fully Omniscient without experiencing all of yourself. No, but at least I am exploring them, unlike most people, who would rather invent excuses. If you love consciousness you should want to explore all of it.

Anyone who is in the top or bottom 1% of a bell curve. Like this white moose: -
Those David Hawkins people are total assholes. They emailed me some time ago threatening to sue me because someone posted a picture of Hawkin's scale of consciousness on this forum. They can go fuck themselves.

You can't appreciate what consciousness truly is without exploring its craziest states. This is what those meditators mislead you about. Simply having a few awakenings into Emptiness is not a serious understanding of what consciousness is. It's like saying you know what sex is but you've only had sex in the missionary position. Actually you have a very poor idea of what sex is. To understand and appreciate consciousness requires experiencing it's most radical forms and its edges. When you become a glass of orange juice, then you can appreciate what consciousness is. It is not enough to say, "Oh I can already imagine that so I don't need to experience it." No! To understand God you MUST experience all its possibilities. Not in theory, but actually.

So you could feel finite. Because basically all the most spiritual people on this planet were born with higher powers. They did nothing to earn them. Just like Shaq did nothing to earn his size. If Sadhguru was born a regular Hindu, he's be as spiritually stupid as your average Hindu. And if he was born a kangaroo, he's be hopping along and eating grass. Your genetics determine absolutely everything about your capacities. There is not a single thing you are able to do which genetics did not gift you. You could not even fart without the right genetics. -

The only reason you like God-mode right now is because you've spent most of your life struggling and suffering. So of course now you like it. You like cheats in a game precisely when you can use one cheat to overcome some impossible struggle. But if the whole game was nothing but cheats, there would be no game, no reward, no meaning, no fun. -

Cause all these masters take their genetics for granted. So they can sell you fantasies. -

@How to be wise Even if she's standing in front of you, how do you know she's your mother? -
Sounds like you're getting too much in your head and have performance anxiety. Relax, breathe, and enjoy the whole process. Pop a Cialis to boost your confidence. And then RELAX!

Now realize this: That only has meaning and value because you have to struggle to build it. If it was handed to you for free, it would be worthless. -
Leo Gura replied to Matthew85's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It does not feel bordem in the human sense. But it will eventually tire of just being infinite. How do you think you got finite? Notice that God-mode in any game ruins the whole game. You think you want cheat codes, but actually you don't. The only reason sex is meaningful (or anything is meaningful) is because it's hard to get. -

What you have to understand about such people is that they are freaks of nature. Like Shaquille O'Neil. You are not gonna get his powers because he's a genetic freak. -

You can have feminism and still be deeply feminine. Learn to walk and chew gum at the same time -
What's funny though is that a guy will sleep with anything with a hole because that serves his survival. A woman is supposed to be more choosy. And yet she chooses so poorly. It boggles my mind.
