@khalifa Did you have severe anxiety before you start taking psychedelics / doing self help work?

@onacloudynight Why would you want to transcend your sex drive? You also talk about meeting beautiful women to have sex with them. Perhaps think about why you want to have sex. If it's just sex, masturbate, and get on with your spiritual work. If it's to meet a woman and have a meaningful loving relationship then that's entirely different.

@traveler Glad you don't care. Wow, I think I just heard that gateless gate opening. Good night to you. @Bill W Haha, indeed. A strangeloop springs to mind. Or one of those crop circles that doesn't exist.

@traveler What if you weren't transcending your person as you so describe, you were just realising what you truly are? You just put on another pair of glasses and saw the real deal. Or, you saw the screen instead of the content. The sky instead of the clouds. We can get stuck in thought stories about the fear awakening can bring. What is fear? Do you fear the nose on your face? Do you fear what is? I'm asking you, but I'm actually asking myself. ?

@Danioover9000 absolutely. I also think there's a bit of worshipping going on, particularly from very young followers. They see the subscriber list, number of followers etc and perhaps get the sense that what Leo is saying is nothing but the truth (even though he is saying the opposite).

Leo's message is clear, but what is he not saying? There is more to this path than we realise so we shouldn't blindly follow his vids, we should refer to a wide range of sources and more importantly rely on our own practice. I do get concerned about followers on here are leaping ahead, running before they can walk and facing the impact of this on their own path. Part of the path is having faith, no matter what, you are on the right track.

@Shaun @Shaun What exactly are you seeking? Be really honest with yourself. I get a real sense you're in need of some love/support. Give that to yourself. We all struggle with confusion on this path. Feel the source within you, forget concepts and thinking.

@traveler What is the gateless gate?

@lukej Great post thank you. You've described very well the perils of this path, but also the beauty and bliss that comes from shedding layers of ego and psyche. Some teachers like Rupert Spira & Shinzen Young are also very good guides for when things get tough. For those alone times I think it's really important to reach out to others, particularly at retreats, workshops or meditation centres. This is why it is key to look to the community, not just online, for support.

@mandyjw Synchronicity is how the magic of life happens. Follow your impulses, your gut, the signs, you're being guided. Let go of your thought stories of who or what is leading this, be curious and enjoy how it all unfolds. When you do, you realise you've tapped into gold.

@Zak The point is you actualise with all these distractions. The biggest obstacle to this path is committing to it, as you have pointed out. How do you get over this obstacle? Realise what is, is. Dark days = dark days, light days = light days. Become aware of the resistance as your post describes. Realise the resistance for what it is, and carry on the work.

@Thewritersunion Try a Yoga Nidra before bed. Good for sleep and relaxation.

@Carson Ford You mentioned feelings a lot through out your post. What are these feelings? Who is experiencing these feelings? Receive your feelings then let go of them, this is the I am, the Now. What is meaning/meaninglessness? You have tapped into the source but perhaps you are not quite aware of it's power yet. Wait and see. See and wait.

@Zak I find this very offensive. Go work on yourself my dear and perhaps you'll have a very different view in a few years.

@Shaun How much mindfulness meditation do you do? Forget the conceptual stuff, try really feeling the what is.

@Rasheed Why are you starting a journal if you don't know what to write in it? Perhaps think about this more, your connection with your inner being first, and why this is difficult.

@Psyche_92 Perhaps your routine is a bit too hardcore. Review it and adjust where necessary. Also are you an all or nothing kind of person? If so, why is that? Start with changing one thing and integrate then another then another. Rather than five at once, or you'll just reach burn out.

@Mu_ Great video, thank you. As humans we thrive on problems as we like things to solve, to work out and to talk about. Working on letting all this go is interestingly, not as difficult as it may seem.

@outlandish Really interesting reading, thank you. All feeds into the illusion filter we hold. What I found really interesting is the part about what and how we remember. When we remember things, how do we remember the Truth? Tricky if this doesn't exist. We're in fact remembering only our take on the event, which in fact is biased, therefore an illusion.

@ActualizedDavid If you want to find out about NLP look up Tony Robbins. His work is based on NLP.

Thanks for this. Authentic choicelessness, now this is key. When we make promises to ourselves and we fail, we beat ourselves up for failure. Take away the promises and you take away the room for failure. Be kinder to yourself.

How do you deal with motivational ruts? You have your long term and short term goals, you have a life purpose, you understand about ego backlash. Despite this all you want to do is sit on the couch and eat pizza.

@Javfly33 What to you, is anxiety? What does it feel like in your body, what does it sound like? When we study it and break it down anxiety is just a combinations of sensations. Let the thoughts go, forget others and follow your path.

Why do we continually search for answers? All answers are within us, right now. Go to the source and feel it. Searching and seeking is away from what is. Seeking non dual awakenings is away from what is. Seeking Truth is away from what is. What is? Feel that feeling of anxiousness, neediness, path seeking, frustration, fear, competition, disatisfaction. Watch it and feel it dissolve into the source. The source of your being will guide you. Drop everything else.

@VeganAwake @Alex bliss The problem is when you truly realise.... It's so subtle it's almost boring. Many would prefer to stick to debating, arguing and conceptualising rather than just quietly seeking within. That's what I mean about being aware that the seeking process itself can be distracting. Because it's conceptual. Practices however, that's the real deal, the real path to Truth, but as humans we can't help but talk about what we're doing. Except we can't because 99 per cent of people think we're crazy.
