You see, from a certain point of view: we are/were ALL stuck in duality. Also me, Leo, Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru, Jesus, Budda etc.... The difference is just that those who are asleep do not grasp it, and those who are awake do. By seeing the dream for what it is: dream -- not "ordinary poor-little-me-survival-reality" -- you become free.

Haha, he's very obviously awake to me. And I'm awake. Don't know bout you. Yes, i also find him a bit over the top. He obviously lacks a bit of integration/groundedness. It will come What's obv about his awakening is his energy and the truth of his words. You have to differentiate between relative and Absolute truths. Yes, absolutely speaking 'good' and 'bad' are all one: Good. But, relatively speaking, he is absolutely right: ~90% of people in the West stuck in orange/blue, even green, (spiral dynamics) are not happy, but depressed on the inside; i.e. "bad" right?:-)

<3

I think so. I live in constant bliss now at least, after my awakening. So I suppose he is too, since he obv is also awake. It's a choice. Full awakening means full control. Why not live in bliss? <3

well that youtuber is connor and he was acting so well I didn't see he was acting:D but I'm still kind of right, cos he also says he wasn't in a good place even though it was acting. Anyway what I meant was: if you get a full blown enlightenment while you are in stage orange and below, you may want to commit actual suicide (="completely merge with God/"losing it"), cos the Truth shatters all your false beliefs, which means it can feel easier to just commit suicide, cos you also know that suicide is just an illusion. but... if you are loving enough, you could also just slowly change yourself, i.e. build a new Loving Spiritual Ego :-) See "spiritual ego" is something which a lot of ppl bash on. I personally find the concept silly I mean, I'm aware there are obvious fake-dudes out there who believe they are awake, or want other people to believe they are awake, but clearly aren'øt. but to me, it's so obvious, I don't have to call it "spiritual ego", I just call it ego Spiritual ego to me is identical to permanent enligthenment. no difference. Spiritual ego = God ego. God = Ego fundamentally.

he's a good actor

just a beautiful track. That melody is an inspiration sent directly from some divine beings to Safri Duo <3 The name 'Everything' fits perfectly.

Most effective would be a good, simple and nice and loving ayahuasca retreat. Money well spent if you ask me.

Great post. Yes everything boils down to non-duality. Everything is fundamentally seen to be empty in nature. And that's the most beautiful empty of all empties:D It's so empty that it's infinite. "I used to think of it as only the Ego being false. But the Ego is ALL the distinctions we make in Reality. The Limits we place in the Limitless!" Yes. Making distinctions = Work of the ego. It's so limitless, empty and infinite beyond infinite that someone had to jump in and place some limits, i..e. make som distinctions, on that empty canvas, so that we can have actual existence. The one who jumped in turned out to be the ego. The one who created and pushed that ego in is God <3

I will try to explain it with an analogy of a video game. Imagine that you are a character inside a video game and that the video game is programmed with a certain type of programming language/code, that sets up certain determined rules of the game. All characters are programmed to understand and interact precisely with this programming-language/typed code, and with its rules. This is applicable to 100% of the characters. Until now, there is no way out of the constraints of this code and its rules, because that's just how the code works. But suddenly, imagine that we inject into this video game: a hack. This hack is a script, that if run against the characters, they will be able to “step out” of the code/game and its rules for some brief time. During this time, they will be able to completely perceive and operate without any rules/programming. This could even mean realizing that they are inside a video game and that this video game is not actual reality, but just a small part of it -- of an actual infinite, eternal, more whole, ‘more real’ reality. To the ‘characters’ who managed to step outside and see the existence of this “whole new reality”, they will call this: Infinity/God/Consciousness/etc. Also, some of them will no longer consider the script/hack an ‘object of the code of the video game', because the script/hack itself will let them see that the code/game itself and its rules were just that: programming, code, game, fake, illusion. It was not grounded in anything *real*. Now, substitute: video game by what you call real life; character by what you consider ‘a person’; code by rationality/logic/causality; rules by science/materialism/natural laws; ‘stepping outside’ by spirituality; script/hack by: psychedelic / meditation / self-torture / ”rare character”. ( - Credit for this analogy is not to me. I copy-pasted it some time ago -- saved it on my PC, and then, now, edited it slightly -- from a dude here on this forum. Can't remember his/her name.) <3

Who or what is this "I" that believes it can have fun/not-have-fun, and that it is a body OR not-a-body ??? You ARE that BODY of yours. That's much more real to say than believing you are an "agent" inside your head between your eyes and ears. But you are not ONLY that: you are much more than that: only you don't see it, cos you're caught up in a dualistic mindset of 'me' and 'other', 'my will', 'not my will'. And ofc you are caught. If you were free in your soul you'd see that the distinction between eg. 'your-voluntary-free-will vs. things-that-happen-to-you' is an absolutely arbitrary distinction YOU are making ALL THE TIME, and that you are making it in order to maintain the illusion of "self and other" -- in other words this distinction is equal to survival! Your sense-of-self is very narrowly defined. Do you see that? What you define as your self you constrain to only be "your own body" and your attachments/life. But what about the environment? What about the very floor you are standing on? Could you define yourself without someting around you? Space, walls, nature, things, other people? Think about it? Could you define yourself without anything to contrast yourself with? The obvious answer -- if you actually care to think deeply about it -- is that: no. You cannot. Just think about the very air you are breathing. It contains oxygen which is absolutely essential for your biological survival. What creates this oxygen? PLANTS. TREES. THE PLANTS AND TREES ARE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS YOUR BODY IS YOU COS YOU BODY'S SURVIVAL IS VERY DEPENDENT ON PLANTS AND TREES EXISTING TO CREATE OXYGEN FOR YOUR BODY. Then think about the Sun. The sun is also 100% you as much as your body is 100% you. Because without the light from the the sun, there would be no photosynthesis = no oxygen for you = no body. And this goes the other way too! You see? Without any 'conscious organisms'/'sensing bodies', there would be no sun, no stars, no plants, no environment. Because the sun is only shining if there's *someone* to look at it! Your eyes - and brain - is transforming the photons from the Sun *INTO* the Sun! You are a magician! A real fucking magician! You are transforming physical photons into *light*. How fucking AMAZING is that? Those beautiful crown jewels you call 'your eyes'. they are doing it. you are doing it. haha <3 <3 <3 You are creating the Sun. The Sun is creating you. The environment is creating you. You are creating the environment. The ultimate strange-loop/paradox! It's all fucking YOU(/GOD) !!!!! <3 Then think about the Milky Way which contains the sun/our solar system. Without the Milky Way our solar system could not exist, because our solar system is dependent on something to rotate around (the big black hole in the center of our galaxy). And so to infinity. You can also zoom in. What about the heart of yours that is beating, pumping blood to all your cells in your body? Do you feel like/believe that 'beating your heart' is something *you* *do* ??? You don't, naturally, because that would be too much to believe! It's much easier to beat your heart and shine the sun *unconsciously*. You are doing it 24/7 unconsciously. You are never not beating your heart (until you stop it ofc). You are never not shining the Sun (until you stop shining it). You are absolutely dependent on the heart inside your body functioning properly. And this heart is made of billions of heart-cells. Each one of these cells is absolutely mandatory for your survival (and these cells need energy/O2 = food/air = environment). And what are these cells made of? Biomolecules! Every single molecule in the universe is you! What are the molecules made of? Protons, electrons, neutrons. What are these then made of? Quarks/Quantum fields say QM. And string theory says strings. But what are these strings or QM-fields then made of? And so to infinity. They are made of YOU of course. Consciousness. God. Absolute Infinity. Infinite Potential. Energy. Love. And your ego is also dependent on "other", i.e. other people. If there were no other human beings on this planet, and your upbringing were sort of just getting food through a tube from a machine etc etc., then you'd have no ego. You can't have an ego if there are no "other ego's/persons" for you to reflect yourself in. Impossible. You are absolutely totally dependent on your environment. You are a function of your environment and the environment is a function of you! The tiny depends on the gigantic. And the gigantic depends on the tiny. Everything is essential. Nothing is not-essential. Your environment is heads of the coin, and 'what you call "I/your persona/body/mind"' is tails of the coin. You are lost because you keep -- consciously and mostly unconsciously -- insisting on only defining 'yourself' as tails of the coin. But in truth you are JUST AS MUCH heads of the coin as you are tails! You can't have one without the other! YOU ARE THE WHOLE COIN! *The Works!* The Universe itself! That's you. Ta-daah. Seeing that you are the whole coin = Awakening. Only defining yourself as either heads or tails = Maya. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, good. (I like this analogy of describing Truth as seeing EVERYTHING as one's own body. Nice one.) It is in one sense good that you are honest and acknowledge that you are currently not aware of Oneness(the truth). It is another sense 'bad' that you actually believe that you are not conscious of *it*, because this belief is in itself -- in a sense, not strictly -- what is hindering you from *getting it*. In order to reach enlightenment, you must seek. But you must also stop seeking to *get it*. Question is: How do you seek and not-seek at the same time? Hehe, another crazy paradox. That's why most teachers preach : "Still your mind. Meditate." etc. Cos it is only when the rational mind is still / has shut-the-fuck-up that YOU can see YOURSELF as "The Whole", *directly*. Because the rational mind in itself will NEVER get it. It cannot, per definition. Only *you*, as the "consciousness behind thoughts" can get it. But you are hindered from getting it because there is so much "mud" (thoughts) in your field of perception. Your are seeing with clouded glasses as long as your rational mind is in charge. 1. Both perspectives are partly true, partly untrue. To get the full truth --- which is, as you say, incomprehensible (for the rational mind, not for YOU per say) --- you need to let go of all perspectives (which is the same as accepting all perspectives). Yes. You are God generating the entire Universe. You = Me = God = Universe = Love = Consciousness Yes. "Objective Reality" is beyond any sort of comprehension. Reality is Absolute Infinity. Ultimately, subjective is equal to objective. No difference. The difference is non-dualistic in nature, like all differences are. You cannot have subjective without objective, and vice versa. Just like you can't have: good without evil; love without hate; tails without heads; buying without selling; front without back; life without death; environment without conscious beings. etc. And vice versa. It is the mark of a wise mind to be able to entertain two opposing thoughts without accepting/rejecting either of them. The Whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. 2. - There IS an Objective Incomprehensible Reality beyond your limited, biased, myopic, selfish consciousnesss with its associated knowing, understanding, logic and rational thinking. Simultaneously, and just as true: - Consciousness is all that exists. Two perspectives on the same Truth, which you can't grasp with language or thinking, but only with direct experience. It's like if you're born blind, i.e. you have never seen colours your whole life, then you may ask: "Hey, can you two, my good dear friends, please tell me what the colour 'blue' is like?" Bob answers: "It is cold." Alice answers: "It is hot". No matter what Bob and Alice tells you about the colour blue (including all the physics and biology of photons, wavelengths, brain-chemistry etc.), you will never actual directly experience the colour blue. To experience the colour blue, you must... experience it. Ta-daah. That's direct experience. That's REAL understanding. REAL knowing. You see? "...why do we perceive an orderly world instead of PURE randomness?" Well. Like all other dualities, order vs. randomness is also fundamentally one and the same thing: < Love - Consciousness - THE GODHEAD > But to answer more relatively: You perceive some order, because everything is God's Intelligent Love being manifested. Everything. You are God. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why do you care so much about what @Leo Gura / <Insert-Any-Other-Teacher> believes in? For you, Leo is just an imaginary character on an imaginary screen. Sure, I think he says some very wise things, often. So listen to that. What he says. Use what he says as pointers. Use some of his advice, and his practical exercises. (Hint: psychedelics is the best one, I'd say). Then go find out who you are for yourself. Directly. Beyond ideas, concepts and beliefs. I'll meet you there. <3

Oh yes, it is indeed a classic. Gotta read it again man. totally forgot about it LOL the book "way of the peacefull warrior" i can recommend too.

Wauw! It literally made me shed a few tears (was listening to music at the same time). You are gifted and very talented. Beautiful drawings man. Would love to hang sketches like that all around my place. "I thought of my own skeleton as a symbol of Death, within me at all times supporting Life, always zero distance away." Yes. Life implies death, or shall I say, death implies life? "I also distinctly remember walking around the jungle aware that I was walking around inside myself." You are always walking around inside yourself. Only difference is whether or not you are conscious of it or not. To function as a proper human being it's -- perhaps -- not ideal to be conscious of it 24/7. But it surely is essential to be aware of these spiritual truths, otherwise we will forever remain 'poor little me's' who feel lack, fear and separated.

Oneness God says seek, but does not find, until it lets go. It needs to give itself Love, cos' Love is letting go. And then it will find, it was itself it seeked. Can you, my Love?

why do you care so much about what leo believes in? For you Leo is just an imaginary character on an imaginary screen. Sure, I think he says some very wise things, often. So listen to that. What he says. Use what he says as pointers. Use some of his advice, and his practical exercises. Then go find out who *YOU* are. <3

Westworld (tv-series). Also "Devs" (another Tv-series). American Beauty 2001: A Space Odyssey Black Mirror, the episode: Hang the DJ (very spiritual if you think deeply about it, hint: just see technology as a methaphor for reality itself)). I think after my awakening I see spirituality/non-duality in almost all art. Some is just more subtle than others.

Yes, good. (I like this analogy of describing Truth as seeing EVERYTHING as one's own body. Nice one.)

Who or what is this "I" that believes it can have fun, and that it is a body OR not-a-body ??? You ARE that BODY of yours. That's much more real to say than believing you are an "agent" inside your head between your eyes and ears.

Seeing that you are the whole coin = Awakening. Only defining yourself as either heads or tails = Maya.

The point of survival has inherently its own point: namely survival. From a larger perspective survival is sort of a vehicle for Infinite Imagination to imagine infinite things. Be that vehicle. Imagine. Any way, you could also say the point of survival is whatever you make of it / feel / think of it. And this sort of makes you infinitely free. What do you make of it? It's entirely up to you what you make of life. The point of life is life itself. Experience. It can be beautiful if you want it to be beautiful. If you don't want it to be beautiful it's not beautiful. If it's not beautiful, it's because you are not making it beautiful (seeing the beautiful parts of it). You always choose. Always. The point of life? Try to go outside in nature on a good warm summer-day and look up on the blue sky. That's the fucking point, right there. Beautiful.

The unreal real ❤

all human beings ultimately end life that way. dying. alone. Doesn't matter if we prepare or not. It happens. There's no point in preparing, you could say, because preparation is not needed. When you die, like really fucking die, you surrender. To surrender everything = To fully let go = Actual Death. Zero difference between these 3 things. Zero. Trust me. Zero. Also death in itself is a jump into Infinite Love. But let's not get too caught up in language games here. So if you want to prepare for surrender, just go ahead and die now. That's the best preperation. buuuuuuuut.........before that, why not have fun and love? <3

@VeganAwake Nice post. Yes, they can only assist in awakening. Nothing more. Of course they can also do harm. Have respect for these powerful tools, man. There is already a psychedelic that can disrupt the normal functioning of mind inside everyone's brains. Serotonin What is before the thinking mind... The opposite What is there besides the thought of what is there... The opposite The first opposite is nothingness, the second is Awareness. Thinking Mind = Nothingness Thoughts = Awareness Non-duality 101.
