I will confess. I did not actually read OPs post. I mostly only read your posts on this forum, cos I (ehm my ego) like to read what you have in your mind, cos my ego believes you're a very special human being and that I can extract a lot of knowledge/wisdom out of you, I can use in my own selfish pursuits of gaining more power, more consciousness, more freedom. So I might have slightly missed the context here - my apologies! My selfish opinion about how I think it's wrong of you (relatively speaking, ultimately speaking it's Perfect, Love, Beautiful ofc!???) as a kind of perceived authority figure to basically write "rape is fine, no problem!" on a public forum without further elaboration... stands. Avoiding approval seeking may be an intelligent thing to do; just notice that the desire to avoid it may stem from a special shadowy unconscious part of your psyche. (The ego's constant, sneaky ways of always participating in the infinite game of one-upmanship are fascinating and endless). "Just the way you read my posts betrays how selfish your perceptions of me are. Hence why should I care about your approval when it is more about you than about me?" Okay, okay. But chillax a bit too, man. Don't be so uptight. It's all Good. ?

Who or what exactly doesn't want to get banned? Where's the 'I' you're speaking of??

Woah with the projections here brother. In my selfish PoV you are the one creating a fuss out of it here =D I'm just standing on my illusory 'ground' speaking some common sense and stating the obvious, while it seems from here that the imaginary Leo Gura is conflating the Absolute with the relative. ANY opinion ANYONE makes can be viewed as purely selfish. But then again, after awakening you see that any duality ultimately must collapse and is actually ONE. There is no self but the Selfless Self, so selfish-selfless, potato-potato

@Raptorsin7 ultimately speaking there are no 'persons' nor 'genes' ( there only *seems to be* if you unconsciously imagine these things into existence, which you can't help not to, since your True Nature is Infinite Imagination/Lila).

Well, as you know, it depends on perspective. From a relativistic, scientific PoV, my ambitions, desires, motivations, determination etc. aren't my own, because the separate self is an illusion, so there isn't 'any self' to own them. They were given to me by God if you will. Or scientifically speaking they were given to me from a combination of genetics, upbringing, culture, society and general environment. However, absolutely speaking, all these (apparent) outside factors (genetics, upbringing, culture, environment etc.) are actually part of my inner mind. They are my imagination. In other words, they are all my own intelligent design, my doing, my will; a story I deliberately created - Waveintheocean - but also deliberately made unconscious for Myself, in order to bring in the contrast of apparent finiteness to my Absolute Infinite Eternal Omnipotent Nature. And excitement of course. Lila. Hide'n'seek. Divine Play. Love. So ultimately speaking, there is no separation, and when you've fully realized this in both mind/thought and heart/feeling, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore & all apparent abilities and desires are imaginary and do indeed come from Me and are My Own. As God. Wakey wakey

Genetics are important, but don't tell me hard determination and insane amounts of training aren't necessary in many sports (unless you're Messi, I agree fully with ya here, this guy is nor human haha:D) But technique and effort is still important for us mere mortals:-)

". If I was a rapist no one would praise me. And there is no reason why I deserve any more praise now than if I was a rapist". @Leo Gura Sometimes I don't understand why you write stuff like this here on the forum. What's the point? Seems rather fucking dangerous to write on a public forum (without any elaboration), especially given your authority as a sort of spiritual YT-guru with 1 mil. subs. I know you say you just write straight from the gut here on the forum, but consider that actually hundreds/thousands of people are reading what you're writing here (not only forum members but also just random anonymous guests without much prior spiritual/non-dual understanding)... And they may interpret what you just wrote as a justification to go out and act out their selfish impulses/desires to, for instance, hurt a woman. I mean, sure, ultimately speaking, from an Absolute/God-PoV, indeed you are loved/forgiven equally whether you are Dalai Lama or Osama Bin Laden, cos both are just God's dreamed up characters appearing in His Infinite Imagination. In other words, both are You. However, needless to say, from a human/relative PoV, you deserve infinitely more praise if you make free self-development youtube videos than if you go out and rape women.

I'd rather say ... that being a regular human person stressing around -- on this blue speck of dust in an infinte cosmos -- trying to achieve something beyond himself... is a form of (deep) self-hypnosis.

Meditation with the silent mantra on the exhalation: "i let go"........... ?

???️

The perceiver is the perceived. If someone insists on it being real, I will show them it is truly unreal. If someone insists on it being unreal, I will show them it is truly real. ☯️☯️☯️ ?❤️✨????? Rest in openness. In not-knowing. Then go from there. Ask: what would Love do and feel your heart ???

Indeed ?❤️✨

You mean fortunately. If you did it would be a mess for you to do all those things. And it wouldn't be magic. You as God fully deliberately designated some of your 'doings' as 'not-your-doings'. In other words: you deliberately made some parts of your Infinite Consciousness seem 'unconscious'. ? ✨ So really, yes, from one perspective 'you' (as an ego/separate self) do not know how you beat your heart, turn photons into light &colour, and close or open your hand... But from and other - just as true - perspective, You DO know how; you just do it! Like you digest your food, grow your hair, breathe. A deep awakening is realizing that *Everything* (from thunder storms to super novas to lions hunting gazzels to your dog popping on the carpet, to your father fucking your mom) IS REALLY YOUR OWN DOING... So fucking profound to realize this. Self-design. Gigantic Mindfuck. It will floor you and you will cry/laugh like a maniac.

Happy bday brother from another mom❤️ thx for ur work and massive effort. Truly inspiring

do you know how you beat your heart or turn the sun rays into light? or close your hand into a fist?

can anything real be perceived?

oh yes, forgot the dream analogy. always on point that one.

<3

Functional pov. haha. Nah, I get ya, it can be hard to see. I don't understand it either to be honest. What can we do...we are God imagining Itself to be stupid humans. Lets have fun and Love while it lasts, I'm sure we will laugh our socks of later at some point over our ignorance.

Connor, I admire your courage and freedom. You seem to have transcended almost all fear. Great for you man. Your awakening is real. However, notice how your ego wants to take claim of this very expanded state of consciousness you are in. The ego wants to prove itself to the world. "I am God" & "Everything is God!" , "now let me prove it for ya!" ... This is dangerous, because what you seem to miss is: - everyone else is your imagination, and there are thus no one to prove it to other than YOU! Hehe. - and all these other 'aspects' of 'you' (imagined other beings) they are just God already. They are just God pretending not to be God They are you. You are them You don't need to prove anything bra. My advice is : turn it down a notch. Take a break from youtube. Or at least tone the shit down. It's too much. ANd it's too far out. Love has to be gentle. Not brutal. Otherwise ppl will run away scared shitless. I love you bro. Keep it up. Pm if you want to talk. I just want you to notice how it seems (at least to "me =D) that your ego is trying to take ownership over your extremely widened consciousness to use it to prove its 'story'/'worldview' to the rest of the world.... "LOOK AT ME. I CAN WIN US OPEN WITHOUT MUCH TRAINING. COS IM GOD. I CAN DO EVERYTHING!" ... yeah right bro, haha, i'll lick your balls if you win us open. I'm not saying it's impossible, im just saying it kinda is. God -- as in You -- imagined this dimension of existence (human life) to have some boundaries/rules. And to believe you can just break them like that is rather naive, selfish and I gotta say hillarious as fuck to watch. But out of Love, I try to remind you to stay GROUNDED. Remind you of your humanity. You are GOD. But you are ALSO God imagning 'Itself' to be human. Remember that. You are here for a reason... and I'm not sure it is to win US open. ... but i dont know, maybe it is. Just check your intentions. Always ask yourself: "What would Love do?" Again, love ya, been a pleasure to watch your videos you released around 1 year ago. The last months I haven't been able to follow you or gain much from your videos though, sadly (some of them have been fun though).

There is a delay because you deep deep deep down wanted a delay. You wanted the play of hide and seek. You wanted to fool yourself completely. To trick yourself into being "not-God". The only way to 'find' yourself again is to transcend your ego. And I described that in the link I made. You are still stuck in duality. There ACTUALLY is NO such things as "finiteness". "The finite" doesn't exist! It is an illusion. Reality is ALWAYS INFINITE, ETERNAL, ONE and Whole. ONENESS is what IS. "The finite" is IMAGINED. Just that. Illusion. Pure mysterious magic. Your divine power to imagine all kinds of CRAzy faR out STuFF. The illusory finite imagined construct ..., what you identify as 'I/me' ... CANNOT realize itself to be the Infinite, because IT DOESNT exist... in other words: "IT" already IS 'THE INFINITE AKA GOD AKA LOVE' ! HAHA <3 So in that sense there is NOTHING to realize. Only: filters and beliefs to be dropped. The illusory "finite" imagined construct is ALWAYS the infinite's imagination/play/Love-creation. So as long as you (deep down) want to 'play' (being a separate self in an external crazy world) you will play. If you say now "I don't want to play anymore!" then that is your ego speaking. But it's still a good start. The path towards awakening starts with wanting to break free of the bars of ego. A deep desire to be free. Prepare for suffering. Prepare for Love. For God. It will be brutal, but amazing in the end.

The infinite (God) cannot know its own nature (infinity, Love, God) without the contrast of the finite. You see, it's the same with up and down. You can't know up without down. Or light and darkness. A shadow is only created because of the light. Etc. So God created the ego (apparant separte self) and tricked Herself into believing He's a human separate person. Through the human incarnation God can then -- if you go on the path of self-realization... all will sooner or later -- get to know Itself again. This is enlightenment. Awakening. YOU ARE GOD. You are God tricking Itself into believing it is not-God but a seperate self. It's amazing and hilarious. Read "how is this happening (from a more mechanistic interest)? is god actually just conjuring one limited entity at a time but instantly ( or with such a speed ) such that when when it is viewing me as someone else it can keep the sense of perceiving it parallel with the help of memory?" God isn't conjuring any entity. There is only ONE entitiy in the whole of existence, namly EXISTENCE ITSELF. In other words: GOD! Everything other than God is ALSO just GOD. You are GOD. We can all it INFINITE IMAGINATION. God is capable of that. Infinite imagination. Including all this human petty drama. Haha. The reason? Love. Now you cannot understand this through logic. Whatever concepts you try to use to try to understand it, (e.g. "speed, time, instantly, parrallel, memory, parallel memory) it is not IT. Memory is imagined. The future is imagined. The past is imagined. Hate is imagined. Evil is imagined. The ego is imagined. The separate self is imagined. Time is imagined. Speed is imagined. Logic is imagined. Human bodies are imagined. Others are imagined. You as a concept, a person, is imagined! It's just just imagination. And YOU are doing it. You are imagining it all, including the current experience of being a human being confused about how God does x and Y .. .:D = D =D

It works if you believe it works. Reality is just infinite imagination. Thoughts are powerful. Very.
