Yes weed, should have clarified. Thing is, this has never happened to me before. If it was just a matter of the mind, I wouldn't have freaked out because I am a very calm individual and I love the abstract realm of awareness, it was my heart beating like thunder that made me panic x50, never have I felt such dread and scare in my entire life.

RIGHT? More people need to listen to them

I feel like most people on the path to enlightenment are seeking the truth to achieve one main goal: end suffering. I respect that, happiness feels awesome, but, my main drive has always been understanding the nature of reality and consciousness, for curiosity's sake. Not just a mundane "i wonder if it will rain today" curiosity, but this big thing inside of me what wishes to solve the big mystery. If the path leads me to happiness, cool, its a welcome bonus. If understanding the truth means sacrificing my happiness, then by all means I am willing. I see no higher goal or price, and I have learned to embrace sadness as one of the many beautiful colors that paint my life. I've had many fascinating spiritual experiences with psychedelics, ranging from movie-like fantasy realms to black void nothingness, I keep getting insights every day, big or small, but each day feels like a step forward towards the endless path to truth.

Why does humanity's suffering outweighs its happiness and well-being? Wouldn't a 50-50% make more sense in this "perfect reality" we live in?

Its like the 5th time calls video games on a negative note. I love playing videogames, its how I like spending my time, not just any games tho, I dislike most multiplayer games, I mostly stick to immersive games with good narrative, good visuals and good music. Games like Bioshock Infinite, Journey, Assassins Creed, Abzu, Braid, Limbo, Portal, The Witcher 3, to name a few, are simply masterpieces. You can experience surreal mind-fucks if you let yourself become immersed by the worlds these artists have created. Art is beautiful and gives life meaning, videogames can be as enlightening as any piece of music can be, or as insightful as a film like the matrix. Now I know Leo realizes this and he doesnt mean wrong, he was actually involved in Bioshock at one point in his life which I find neat, but we gotta stop calling video-games a waste of time! It only makes it hard for the good videogames to be considered art.

for sure, i have listened to several non-dual speakers but this guy is easy to follow

Discovered this guy yesterday, highly recommend this video in particular

"Take a leap of faith" = "Pay hundreds of dollars" I would gladly test the veracity of this spiritual teacher, but I am not paying money just to end up being scammed. But in an out this all reeks of scam disguised as spiritual awakening

I dont think Leo believes in past lives, not in the "Buddhist reincarnation" sense at least. Its more like, the real you hidden beneath your ego, which is god, is experiencing every life form through consciousness

Some of you missed the point of my post, almost as if you didn't read anything of what I said. I agree that micro transaction-riddled multiplayer games designed to keep you enslaved are mostly a waste. What I am saying is, there are really good artistic games made with soul and care, like a fine painting or a good book. And we must all learn to differentiate between the two. Saying all video games are bad is like saying psychedelics are "bad cuz they are drugs and drugs kill you or make you dumb"

doubt its salvia, its well known

Just curious, why not guys? I have always wanted to see for myself if these powers are real. I am very willing to believe, but I always felt I needed direct experience

Food for thought. I maybe totally wrong, but hear me out The spectrum of human emotions is contained within truth, it is the metric by which we all measure worth and meaning. Sadness, happiness.. are just tiny little pixels inside an ever growing and ever exploring canvas of creation and possibilities. The truth is information and connectivity, all emotions, be them positive or negative, serve the ultimate purpose of truth. Discovery. Hellish nightmares, or divine experiences, are equal to truth. Truth WANTS you to experience the divine, as well as the nightmare. It doesn't care if you get one or the other, discovery is all that matters. Data is all that there is.

Thanks, I agree with all you said. I wasn't trying to discredit enlightenment, its value is, well, invaluable. What I was really trying to say is, butterflies are beautiful, but so are worms. People often chase enlightenment to get away from the pain, they are looking for happiness in truth, instead of looking for truth for truth's sake.

I visualized Leo facepalming at this thread so clearly, it made me believe I awoke some latent turquoise psychic powers

you fellas are an embarrassment to this community mocking the video like school kids a single individual did this out of lavor of love, he also composed most of the soundtrack himself, he didnt make a cent out of it there is a deeper meaning inside this work of art, and you all clearly missed it I

Get high and listen to this

Its the same case with psychology majors, it attracts the mentals and insane. Have you seen Westworld? A theme in that series is that suffering advances the consciousness of robots. I feel most of the people here must have been seriously hurt in the "right ways" to end up in this path. I just dont see your casual happy-go-lucky folks dwelling into mysticism and non-duality, they are so care-free and happy that they pretty much dont need it. I may be wrong tho

Theres nothing more metal and shamanic than this. Leo if you are reading this, listen to their complete live concert, it will melt your mind

Gentlemen, please! What we need here is for Leo to make a video on chakras and Kriya Yoga. I for one am skeptic too but I wish to know more.

Over the last months I have sunk deeper into mysticism and awareness. Just recently I had an abstract experience with 5MeoDMT last week where everything I was aware of dissolved into one primordial liquid, a field of endless possibilities and manifestations, it was both scary and majestic. I stumbled upon the Seth material the other day, a woman who learned to channel a trans-dimensional intelligence who she calls "Seth",, I am not yet entirely sure if thats really possible but clearly the lady knows her shit and its been a fascinating read so far. Tho they place a huge emphasis on the idea of reincarnation and a persistent individual soul. The way I see it, our bodies and experiences share within the same soul, the one god that makes up all of reality. For me, to begin to conceptualize the idea of individual souls would bring conflicts of separation from the one source of it all. What are your thoughts?

I loved it, but I dont get the part about "you will be a Chinese girl next". Wouldn't he simply be everything? One with god? Instead of one-at-the-time?

Elisabeth already explained it better than I ever could, but do you have a source on that?

A common misconception and misunderstanding for those that love to copy- paste this study. Its not that observing it causes a reaction, but shooting a LASER a it in order to be able to observe it changes the behavior Its just science and mathematics, not hocus pocus stuff.

Turquoises realize there is no separation between self and else, matter or organics. Life is life, wheras it takes the configuration of plants or animals. So why would one spare the animal and sacrifice the plant? Is pain the only argument left? Is it okay to eat an animal that has cerebral impairment that spares it the feeling of pain? Sorry if this comes out as trollish, I know this is a delicate subject for some people here.
