Start to learn to go with your gut. Like if your gambling and you tried to make your $$ back and failed. You can intuit it is the wrong thing to stay in the game. You'll feel when it's rifht to cut your losses. At that time it means it is probably time. It works with me for gambling.

I would have had cancer by now.

In that last statement I was being funny. But with regards to Love I believe based on the metaphysical definition I have seen from Leo, than no, there is no need to have Love as a distinct facet. On the other hand if your definition of metaphysical Love is that it is God's unbiased affection for all of it's parts than that is a different story. No pun intended. To me that's the only difference between relative and Absolute Love. In that God, who lacks self or form, also lacks bias - which is where human and Divine Love differ. But it is in fact, still affection. It is an emotion. If you take emotion out than you have no need for this facet. Leo emphasizes Love as a distinct facet, unlike Peter. Yet he fails to define it in a way that in fact makes it distinct. So where they are alike is that both teachers seem to distance themselves from emotion in their definition of Truth.

Yes but it is just One Mind imagining the difference between self and other When this dream ends another begins.

LOL. Not a bad idea regarding CBD. But if you got my point Leo and Ralston aren't that different. Leo's definition of Love is that there is no difference between anything. Ralston says everything is one. So you yell me the difference 🤔 And according to their own teachings they cannot be different 😀😃

This is great advice. HPV is technically an STI not an STD, but guys can't get tested for it yet it about 80% of people get it in their lifetime. Most times it just goes away with no symptoms. But other times it can cause genital warts or cancer later in life. And if youre a guy you don't wanna be a carrier and give it to a girl who could later gets cervical cancer from it.

Not disagreeing.

Feel being the key word here.

But there is a definition of Love that everyone wants to tiptoe around because Leo has stated its not feeling or emotion its Unity. No its not Unity. Its what brings about Unity. Which is something else.

But now you run into the issue of no longer needing two words again. Some of you said it is affection for all your parts and a desire for total unity and the merging of all parts into one. But you cannot escape then by describing this facet of Love as Divine feeling, Divine Emotion, Divine affection, and Divine Desire. God's Love for itself and all of it's parts. Its a sexy mofo! The problem i have with those proclaiming reality is Love want to run away from the very qualities of Love and create some mysterious metaphysical definition that doesnt even exist. Perhaps they want to run away from it because they are afraid of what Love actually is.

Consciousness is mysterious - can you describe what it is or are the definitions circular. If Love is a quality of Consciousness - then this is not necessarily disagreeing with Ralston because Love is a part or an aspect of Consciousness. If it is identical but also a facet (2 sides of the coin) the what is that side. I guess you can't really explain either without using circular definitions as other stated it is just via Being that one truly understands. Anyone who has gotten a glimpse of Absolute love please let me know what made it distinct from Consciousness/Being/Unity/Oneness/Infinity for you .

So then it is a fundamental quality of unity not unity itself? Or it is the heart. So what is the heart? Is it feeling, emotion, desire, euphoria, all of these things. Or is it ineffable? find out by awakening. Well then you could say it is Truth. It is God. It is Awakening. If you call it Love notice now your definition of metaphysical Love no longer resembles what the word Love is. So why use it? I am just pondering. I am not asking for an answer unless you want to. So back to unity. What is empty unity vs full unity. If you mean Love is what fills unity and completes it then you can say it is both a facet of unity and the whole of it, depending on perspective. Thats fine. It is a facet of the Absolute but also the whole of it. Just as the finger is the hand. But it can thus be looked at as a distinct facet or the whole. I have been asking what it is as a distinct facet of the Absolute (Oneness). But no one seems to know or want to answer that. Other than saying it is Unity.

Love is other than unity in an actual sense. Unity is unity. That's the whole issue here.

When I think of a cult I think of brainwashing and mind control and manipulation. Because its a way for the leaders of the cult to have power over others and control their minds. With as someone else said, mechanisms to prevent someone from leaving. Here we encourage free thought. If you don't like what's being said here no one is manipulating you to stay here. If you think us saying think for yourself is a mind control technique then I don't know what to tell you..its not the Truth. But the beauty is you don't have to be here if you don't wanna be..and Just for the record, arrogance and/or confidence does not a cult make.

Is there any new material here or is it just the same material newly created?
