if you have tried hard, give up all the effort. Don't be serious about becoming enlightened or not and you will probably become enlightened -

to be honest, I think Leo's pretty much interested in science. He just hates the way science dismisses mystical cases and scientists who claim science can figure everything out. The fact is we exist is already supernatural, not explainable -

Where did I say self-inquiry does not help attain enlightenment? See, this is where you put your own projection into what you read. I didn't complete everything I wanted to say though. Enlightened being is someone who knows themselves. That's all needed to verify his enlightenment. That's why it's almost impossible for others to know if the person is really enlightened or not. But we can clearly see if someone is not enlightened by hearing their opinions and insights. For example: Tony Robbins. He's not enlightened at all. -
Trust me, he did recommend trying LSD. I read it. I'm too lazy to find it again. But he said you should taste LSD to be encourage to pursue enlightenment. After you have the encouragement you should meditate and experience something LSD cannot release. However, he also said it's dangerous to use drugs to attain enlightenment. He didn't say it's not possible.

Hey guys I think It's time for Leo to do a video on Chaos theory. It has a lot to do with our daily life. According to science and maths, a chaotic situation or possibility can be predicted because of the determistics laws that led to the phenomenon. Our job is to investigate those laws. And if we made a wrong prediction it means there was a hidden variable that was at work but we were not aware of. However, from what i understand about quantum physics, the unpredictability IS ABSOLUTELY UNPREDICTABLE .

You guys might be right about Sadhguru's bad view on psychedelics. Watch this: I can clearly see his disdain for psychedelics just from his face expressions. Sadhguru is kinda promoting India. Just watch other videos of his and you'll probably feel the same

that's why I prefer blissfulness over happiness -
Hi everyone, This intelligence has puzzled me for quite long. Intelligence isn't just brain power. However, we definitely need to tap into infinite intelligence to invent new tenologies. So, doesn't it prove that inventors like Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein are more conscious than enlightened people? I agree there are mathematicians who are extremely good at maths but lack the picture of life. I always wonder why that's possible? To be as intelligent as someone like Terence Tao (for example) I'd bet you need to tap into infinite consciousness, so can anyone tell me why smart people can be also unconscious? Is this a mystery? I've practiced meditation for quite long and to be honest, I feel like my entire psyche has been rewired little by little but I still feel there are some limitations the brain and body impose on an individual that we cannot shatter. I cannot become as good at maths as Terence Tao, for example. So, is intelligence a different area other than consciousness? What I have become conscious of: Reality is not made up of anything called atom. It's a conceptual thing a mind comes up with. We're bound by our psyche no matter how much we don't want it We cannot explain anything thoroughly. Laws of physics make sense only when a chain of events passed and we look back. We do not control anything.

Every genius is not happy ( this is my projection) -

Pluck might have made a mistake Sheela made. He might have idolized Leo so much without doing meditation and then his life got fucked up and he blamed Leo for it. I like Leo because he seems to have empathy towards others. I disagree with some of his ideas though. Just some. For example: Leo prefers Sadhguru over Osho. Honestly, I don't like Sadhguru. He seems to me a harsh man saying HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE. From what I see, Sadhguru wants to people to create a traction in their life, the traction that he considers good, fitting with his eyes. He seems to think one is 100% responsible for his life. . From the way I see, the answer is no. Most people were born poor, not intelligent, not emotionally well-grounded. And it's understandable why they feel depressed. To be honest, I don't want to be born. It sounds negative but it's the truth. However, instead of continuing to take my anger on others, I'm starting to meditate to master my emotions and live blissfully. What I want to say is we should be more empathetic and focused on ourselves at the same time. If we focus too much on who gives us the ideas, we do not take the ideas seriously. If things get too difficult for me, I can just commit suicide like Osho. No need to get angry at anyone. I'm not good at expressing my point of view, hope you guys understand. -

very remarkable. Duly noted. Are you Leo? -
Laymen replied to Laymen's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
don't you think what you say is a theory too? In reality and what I've have observed everything happens for a reason. Of course this should be my projection. Like Leo reminds us: Of course the world looks mathematical when your mind is mathematical. -

Jesus Christ is just a crackpot -
Hey guys, I got some glimses of mystical experiences recently. Just a few glimses but I can feel some strange things. I want to discuss with you guys. First, I became aware that I am living in a matrix and everything is predetermined as fucked. We have no control. We can become conscious of our actions though. Second, I've somehow lost my sense of time. To me, 8pm is just nothing different than 8am. I don't know why.

I still sleep as nothing changes. My experience didn't last long. My mind kicked in. My sleep got much better after those minor experiences

I think all inventors like Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, including even theoretical scientists like Terence Tao or a Russian mathematician who succeeded in solving a 1 million maths problem are at turquoise. They went meta, went beyong their model and the human's mind to accomplish those things

Hey guys I wanna discuss consciousness with the brain. Honestly, I still can't shatter the old paradigm assuming consciousness happens within the brain. Can anyone give honest opinions?
