Of all the "fake" meat brands, I like Gardein the best. Specifically their "meatless crumbles." Minimal ingredients, still tastes good. Totally destroys something like beyond burgers lol. That beings said, it's still relatively unhealthier than unprocessed foods. Just eat well-cooked seasoned tofu lol

@Absolute Haha what makes you say that?

Inspiring! I feel similarly where I am in my journey now, looking back

I know with unwavering intuitive certainty that Leo's most recent 2 hour video was ALL about damage control. Leo knows, as do I, that all beings are imagined, Likewise with "physical death." So if anyone is to have compassion for Sunny's in-the-moment jumping experience, it ought to be Leo! Sunny's actions (from the stories we heard) were done out of Love. He literally killed himself for Love. This is, in a certain sense, in-line with Leo's teachings - and I think Leo knows this. Except Leo simply cannot ever admit any of this for the social survival of Actualized.org. He has his entire life's work to protect. And so, protect he will. In his recent video, Leo furiously draws the line between "ego death" and "physical death" - advocating for the former and not the latter - despite, according to him, the two ultimately being the same - and then proceeds to label anyone going for the latter as a "misinterpreting fool." To be clear - I'm not advocating for physical suicide myself, for social reasons. What I am advocating for though, is a recognition of Sunny's Love - and we must un-label him as a "misinterpreting fool" if we are to do this. --- P.S. if it sounds like I am glorifying death here, in a certain sense I am. What Sunny did was beautiful. To call it ugly or wrong is itself the misinterpretation! But I can only say this personally because I understand the ineffable perfection of the cycle of life and death. I dare not say this straight-faced to someone living from survival-bias (out of compassion!) I write as I do here, because of the context I heard - that Sunny died willingly and happily. Please, let's honor this. Regarding the family members - this one is tricky. My heart extends out to them, for their suffering is undeniable. And who am I to tell them that "Sunny's death was not only illusory, but also beautiful"? - even if this is The Truth? Rather, I bite my lip - and share condolences, for that is what my heart says is the necessary public expression for this occasion. What a weird position to be in! I believe Leo understands this. The only difference being, Leo additionally has a collective ego to uphold. So that's where his focus is.

bahaha

You're begging the question. You take "separate conscious experiences" so utterly for granted that you fall hook line and sinker for the illusion. "Separate conscious experiences" are an assumption. Necessarily. It must be. You have zero way to verify them, because you are unable to "step outside" of "your own" conscious experience and into "some else's." YOU are actually the one speculating. If you really Knew that I Am [The Reality], you would be unable to assert the text I've highlighted in bold. You would simply stop at "I Am. Infinite Imagination." There would be no more "from my point of view," no more "I am 'the reality'," no more "you appear to be my [imagination]," no more "but I would know that you are not right," and no more "solipsism"

You will rise up one day, I know you will.

There is no contradiction between what "I" said and what "Leo" said

This makes me vibrate with excitement

Hahaha~ But even the philosophical and intellectual boil down to naught but realizations at the end of the day It's good though that you're considering balance. From your human POV, when "Leo" realizes Mahasamadhi, "Leo" ends "his life" while "other life" (including yours) continues. When YOU YOURSELF realize Mahasamadhi, all beings Mahasamadhi along with you and the universe as we know it literally ends. These can both be simultaneously True

Lmao oh honey

Self-Made Prison

Nope! You gave that thought-story "realness" RIGHT NOW through sheer Imagination. "I am Imagining and constructing RIGHT NOW the story that Yogis prior went through with Mahasamadhi, and that they died, and that I was unaffected, and this story feels like reality to me." ^This is (more in line with) what's actual. When "you" "die" - and get blasted into Ultimate Infinity - the whole world goes with You, period. As though the relative never even existed. That is what it means to Be Absolute. --- Of course, though, any of us on this forum speaking about these concepts now are still attached to this dream of life - many of us have briefly recognized the Absolute but are still largely hypnotized into imagining that the relative exists. Insofar as we continue to imagine that the relative exists - it will appear as so. I don't recommend getting too sucked into these words though. These words are bottomless and hollow. I am describing that which cannot be described when saying "The Absolute." One day you will know when you Know. Until then, take it easy and enjoy the relativity

"objectively unwholesome?" LOL

hehe.

You're treating "ego" as though it is something real. "Ego" is not real. It was never there. Don't believe me? Go find it and behold it. Disclaimer: You can't. I'm basically asking you to eat the food you see in a cooking video by reaching into the pixels on your screen. Once you deeply understand this - that "ego" was never even there to begin with - you will see that "ego" is incapable of "preventing consciousness" because consciousness Is, and ego is not! Now don't get me wrong - from the POV of a seemingly limited ego-identity, maybe it really does feel like "preventing consciousness" is happening. But I'm suggesting that even that is an illusion! So don't let an illusion derail Life Purpose for you! This is definitely a possible trap. But it doesn't have to be this way. Conscious Life Purpose is possible! From the human POV - any assertion of "inherent purpose" is necessarily false because human meaning-making is a fabrication at the highest levels. Maybe from God's POV though, there IS an Inherent Purpose - but you won't be able to make sense of it so long as you identify with being human. From the human POV - all purpose is indeed "created," manufactured, fabricated, arbitrary. But nothing stops you from deeply looking inward and being self-honest and open to your True Nature while simultaneously fabricating an arbitrary and meaningful Life Purpose!

honestly piece of cake if the topic is your passion 1. It's YOUR passion, doesn't matter who's with you or not. 2. It's YOUR passion, public reception is secondary. 3. It's YOUR passion, why would you talk about anything else? 4. It's YOUR passion, its engaging by default! 5. It's YOUR passion, why the fuck would you stop engaging with it after just a couple hours? 6. It's YOUR passion, what better thing would you even have to do during breaks? lol 7. It's YOUR passion, of course you come back to it time and time again

You're wondering if you were really ever valuable. The fact that he "moved on so quick" becomes a subtle reason in the back of your mind for you to doubt your worth. "Am I really that expendable?" "How real was our love, for him to leave it without hesitation?" ...Luckily, these doubts are naught but stories. Literal fantasies You are already Whole and Complete. It's only a matter of Realizing it

You will die alone, no matter how many people you surround yourself with, no matter how strong your bonds. What a beautiful thing...

lool no such thing exists

Psychedelics are almost mandatory for full God-Realization, unless you were born exceptionally spiritually gifted, or you spend literally 24/7 practicing active industrial-grade spirituality for decades. As an average person, you simply will not get anywhere remotely near full God-Realization doing a little bit of "awareness meditation/contemplation" here and there. Even if you do hours daily for years, that just won't cut it. As it should be. This is an INFINITELY INTELLIGENT Illusion, after all Just let that sink in. Obviously, it's not as easy as simply taking a psychedelic either. Tons of people gobble psychs to get fucked up, and they ain't God-Realized. So you need to lay the proper groundwork by still practicing sober spirituality, but at some point you will also have to take the psychedelic. It's a package deal, basically. One without the other ain't it.

@Being Frank Yang FRONK!!

This is ENTIRELY up to you. You are (literally) free to do or be anything you set your heart upon! Don't outsource this part of your journey to "other people." Get creative! At the same time, work on grounding. Don't let an immature ego usurp and posture as God They all brush against God Realization to varying degrees, but Leo is the only one to directly address the ramifications: YOU YOURSELF as Omniscience, Omnipotence, Loneliness; Love.
