@John Iverson I like the Philippines people though, often very kind and humble people like yourself, and your country is beautiful with beaches, water and nature. I think it's a sign of LOW intelligence if a country need to invade and colonize other places/countries. British people are not very smart or sophisticated in general, same is true for American people.

The material universe is all energy. Energy must be conscious and intelligent because everything is made of it, and we see clear evidence of intelligence at work in the world and within ourselves. Matter is not just matter. Water, for example, is not just water. Water is actually energy which for a time takes the form of water. That energy is the same energy that takes the form of a rock sometimes, and the same energy that takes the form of a human being at other times. This energy behaves without any restrictions, capriciously, purely determined by its intentions when sometimes it takes the form of a living being that displays consciousness, intelligence, and purpose; but at other times it takes the form of inanimate objects, like water; yet at other times it takes the form of just pure energy, like heat or the templates galaxies follow when they form. Energy behaves capriciously and intelligently, because it behaves with absolute regularity in what we call inert matter, but it displays irregularity in what we call conscious or living beings; yet it is all the same energy. This intelligent energy is good and evil at the same time, as in having multiple personalities or a split mind. The Universal Consciousness, Intelligence, or Mind is psychotic. This universal source has produced and will continue to produce, by means of the law of Causality, which is a much more complex version of the domino effect, the disgusting and hurtful effects we see in the world and experience in the flesh today. Because of its psychosis, the Universal Source auto-mutilates to produce everything that exists. It severs parts and particles from itself to use them for satisfying its sick desires. We are those particles. We are former parts of the Source and are contaminated with the same psychosis it has, which results in conflict, disease, and all evil in life. The Source is, actually, everything and everybody; but it is fragmented, split. That's why we are individuals, or separate, living beings. Otherwise we would be only one being or a collective living being. Another form of evidence for my theory comes from the field of Quantum Physics; which has proven that the seemingly solid material world, with all its seemingly different objects, is not really solid at all, and the objects are not really different from each other, because matter is mostly empty space, and the objects all consist of the same things: mostly fields of energy and tiny particles, or waves, or strings; all of which seem to be conscious because they all react to consciousness. The ancient Chinese Sage, Lao Tsu, said something interesting in the Tao Te Ching, chapter 42, talking about how Tao (or Dao) produced the Universe and everything within it. Paraphrasing: The Tao gives rise to the one. The one gives rise to two. Two give rise to three. Three give rise to the 10,000 things, or everything. I see a parallel relating to Quantum Theory: one fundamental substance, or source, gives rise to energy and consciousness. Those two give rise to protons, electrons, and life. Those three make up, everything there is. Everything is just one type of thing: conscious energy. This alive and intelligent energy produces all objects and all phenomena in the universe, the various states objects take, and the changes in those states. For those who do not believe in anything that is non material, I say it really does not matter whether it is matter, or energy, or intelligence, or stupidity, or madness, or evil, or chaos, or something else that is causing the current state of affairs to be what it is. Something has caused our lives and the world to be what they are. Whatever has caused all the suffering that exists in the world is not good. It all comes from the universal source. The Source has been doing what it does, for a long time, and it is not going to stop, unless we stop it.

Leo IS enlightened, it's very important that you understand that. The confusion comes from the role he has to act out in order to correct people that obviously got things wrong. This forum is language based, hence based of concepts, some people are lost with concepts and have a complete wrong picture of reality(me included) In those cases Leo correct them and even arguing with them if needed, of course that look like as he has an ego. But that's not the case. But see, he doesn't argue to please his ego(he has none) or to be right, or to prove his understanding or anything. Leo does it ONLY for YOUR best and for the sake of spreading this enlightenment movement with non dual understanding for the good of humanity and the world. Don't confuse the "ego role" that Leo acts out here and project it upon him, nothing can be further from the truth. He as an enlightened master only play that role in order to meet people at their level of understanding to handle over the pearls of godly wisdom and insights. YOU SEE?

I remember one video session with Adyashanti, a Q&A session. One guy told Adyashanti that he was a musician and that he was enlightened or very close to it, he had Gods presence in his awareness, love in his heart, happiness in his being and huge compassion for humanity and their suffering. He wanted to do something for humanity, something that let humans in society to experience the same peaceful awareness that he himself experienced. He decided to write and produce music compositions with non-dual insights/feelings to them. A godly type of music in order to evolve human souls and uplift them to a state of awareness where suffering no longer exist. But unfortunately, even though he had such good intentions, his project failed badly, and he ended up as a mental case. He almost laughed when he told Adyashanti because it was so bizarre, he was so calm, happy and relaxed with such good intentions. Despite all that, he was smashed and crushed in the process of bringing God to the human mundane life. He didn't see that coming. What surprised me most was the response from Adyashanti, he wasn't surprised at all by the man's story, Adyashanti just simply responded: "Of course, you can't bring God to the society and everyday world, that will always fail" I was shocked and depressed by both the man's story and Adyashanti's answer. Why is it impossible to transform a civilisation and societies into loving consciousness, something closer to enlightenment? You guys at Actualized.org have a good answer to that?

You again? Lol, dude, you're funny and pathetic. Do yourself a favour, block me. Then you won't see my posts, nothing will threaten you closed mindedness anymore. You're a disgrace to this forum and a troublemaker. Do your shadow work and stop project your inner disturbed emotions onto other members.

Your right! But can't you say it in a more polite way. Do you have to slaughter my self esteem? I treat you well, you don't have to make a fool out of me. I don't want the whole forum to laugh at me!

Very good and intelligent answer! Bob Dylan wrote songs that were so incredible beautiful and inspiring, but the masses didn't pick it up, it didn't apply to the frequency of the masses. Those who loved Dylan's music was probably already at higher frequency. I agree that art these days should aim to apply to the masses and "trick" them to evolve towards happier and more compassionated people. However, that would be calculated art, and as you know, 'REAL' art is not calculated at all. Also, the artwork aim to meet people where they are, at their frequency, where as 'real' art treat people as if they're already realised, but again, that type of art obviously doesn't work. Good art/'real' art, art that comes direct from the source of God are TOO good for the masses, they won't bite. It feel's like we looking down on people here, but that's not really what's happen. It's good that we're not fake modest. And we have the best intentions for humanity.

@SoonHei Think of it as a book, all pages are there all the time, but you can only experience reading one page.

Those old greek philosophers, what's not to Love about them? Socrates, Platon, Aristoteles, such brilliant minds, such stringent reasoning, such coherent thoughts. Those guys truly loved wisdom. Lovers of peace and knowledge, lovers of love itself! With those ideas spread to the world, war and close minded authority will for ever be a thing of the past - one thought.. Then middle age happened, religious suppression, war, toxic authority happened. Then the age of enlightenment came about! Voltaire, Rosseu, Montesque stod up for human dignity again. Respect for human values. Romantic era followed. Classical music with all its subtle uplifting message for the human soul happened. Mozart, Beethoven. This time humans will finally live in peace and harmony - one thought.. Then communism happened, more toxic ideology happened, marxism, along with toxic nationalism, rise of anti semitism, two world wars. Power struggles all over the globe. Then the human potential was discovered again. Everything was possible. Expeditions to Venus and mars happened. Humans landed on the moon. Love was in the air. Sing/song writer era happened. Beautiful songs of Bob Dylan(Nobel price winner), Niel Young, Morrison, Beatles, Joplin came about. Flower power and hippie movement happened along with healthy family values. Then post modernism happened, globalism came about. Fall of culture. Ugliness in architecture, art, music. Decadens happened. The whole of Western civilisation started to show signs of coming to an end. And here we find ourselves. Humans never learn, or do we?

No new Sunday video today?

Nah, it wasn't! It was tough times. The pressure from the Roman culture was enormous. Greece during this time was still independent from the Romans, but it was a struggle until they eventually fell and become part of the Roman empire a few years B.C. (The empire was new to the Romans as well since Julius Caesar reformed the Roman republic into an empire with Augustus as its first emperor) Also, during the hellenistic era there were MANY local wars. They had a system with independence for cities, this system was old and started to break down because of the pressure from new system/ideas of government, where many cites under are govern the same in a specific land-area/nation. The demoralisation among the people during the end of the hellenistic era was huge.

@Outer There are no dualities in reality, only oneness. What you find in your inner being is literary what you find in the outer world. It's impossible to detect mental cases in the outer world if you're not a mental case yourself! You see? It's easy, just find the love, the beauty and the truth in yourself, and you'll find that the world and every forum in the world are literary 100% sane. All people are geniuses with nothing but love, beauty and truth to share with you. #NewAge

'It's weird not to be weird'

Bob Dylan is my only hero in life. He inspired me in the same way Osho inspired @Prabhaker. In this thread I will post quotes from Bob Dylan that I believe are spiritual insightful. Feel free to comment the quotes that you like(or dislike). Here's a first quote: “She knows there's no success like failure, and that failure's no success at all.” From Love Minus Zero/No Limit

Love this video, but what does he say at 8.30-8:45 "..are the only people who have left some ...... of sensitivity" What's the missing word, I don't understand, does he say 'press'? Doesn't make sense? Love this video because it's so clear and it really show the connection between sensitivity and truth/enlightenment.

@Prabhaker Ah, tnx Prabby! And thank you for writing down the whole speech, this clip really appeal to me. One of my favourite Osho-videos.

Like that formulation! Tnx.

Is consciousness outside of time and space? If it is, is it fair to say that 'time', 'space', 'form' and all other phenomenon in Maya are downstream from consciousness, which is prior to time and space.

true, a combination is probably the most beneficial.

Hey buddy, I been here for a long time now, writing over 1000 posts, and you tell me that I know nothing?? All my conceptual mapping of reality/truth that I cling on to might be worthless if I stop watching videos and stop reading forums posts and go into a meditative state instead. Are you sadistic, you want me to go into a state where I find my conceptual map to be something other then the territory? That would cause me suffering. As long I'm not aware that my inner bank of spiritual knowledge is no 'real' knowledge then I don't have to face if this was wasted time. I can continue to believe in it and prevent me from getting hurt. If I go in to a meditative state and end all electronic equipment I might see the pointlessness of all the conceptual spiritual work I've done over the years, and just view it as mental masturbation, that would give me an awful feeling of wasted years, might even cause a depression. Why risk a depression? You want me to have a depression?

Transgender professor claims there is no such thing as male and female sexes. Why do Jordan Peterson still 2018 claim that biology is a legit paradigm? Biology is a false narrative based on materialism. The Transgender professor doesn't know about spirituality and probably believe in the materialist paradigm, but he is SO ahead in understanding of reality compare to Jordan Peterson since the transgender professor at least know that biology is a fantasy, an illusion. The idea that there is man/boys and girls/women are nothing but rubbish. Biology has NOTHING to do with reality. Sexes are nothing but a brainwashed idea. Women and men exists only as a thought, there is no such thing in reality, only human beings that DECIDE for themselves what they are. Identity is ONLY a social construct, biology has nothing to do with it, in fact all of biology is nothing but a completely a made up field. An unconscious and ignorant man as Petersen would probably view me as a 6'2 man in my 30s, not as the little homosexual 12 year old 4'9 girl that I truly am. When will ignorant people as Jordan Petersen cease to be on this planet?

In Leo's new video on 'Difference vs Sameness' 41 min in to the episode, Leo give some support to my statement in OP. At least it support it as a valid perspective that can't be falsified. What we call 'male' and 'female' don't refer to two different things, they are one and the same thing. SAMENESS!
