I think it's valid as Leo gets extremely triggered over Buddhism. Maybe because he feels it is the biggest obstacle to awakening for most of his audience and it is maddening for him. But it's not Buddhism in itself it is people taking it on (as with any religion) as a belief. And this does not excuse and is independent of the behavior.

@Devin has a point but that's the case with any religion. If you take Buddhism as a belief and the end all be all you will never find Truth. The key is to do the practices. Buddhism and Hinduism have some good pointers, all in all I think they are better maps then western religions but they're still maps. Once you reach the territory you toss the map.

Oh no - don't misunderstand..that's the whole point he is God - but God is minus the ego. When I say God complex i mean the ego masquerading as God...Of course paradoxically that is still God too, but not God in its purest form which is minus all selfishness. Have you ever seen Lord of the RIngs? Do you remember how Bilbo got towards the end when the ring corrupted his mind? How his eyes changed in an instant? That's what comes to mind here.

The content is solid- but until it is validated by you directly it is not true for you and should never be taken on faith like dogma or religion. We always stress this.

@ValiantSalvatore yeah but ultimately he should know that trying to force others to awaken by berating them and beating them over the head does nothing - and plus - it should not be triggering anger in him in the first place. You see there is some weird God complex that has took hold over him and when it comes on he cannot control it and he goes into this weird manic behavior. Like a split personality almost. It's disturbing to watch.

My intuition tells me he is extremely unstable right now from the result of overuse of psychedelics. You saw the way he was completely calm and had his faculties about him - and then in the very next post - literally out of nowhere- he lost his mind. It reeks of manic behavior like one with bipolar disorder would behave. This is a sad reminder of the dangers of overdoing psychedelics folks. I hope he takes a break and gets in a more stable mindset. Somehow. I definitely hope he has laid off the psychedelics.

If implies doubt or the possibility of reality being other then Infinite Consciousness. Stay the path brother. Walk it with shoulders up and head held high. The materialists have taken over but we will not let the word of Truth go unheard. We will not. I will not.

There is not one who experiences enlightenment. It is ineffable. What we are doing here is a feeble attempt to describe or i dare say capture the ineffable. But you can build a metaphysical framework and with the knowledge you must then turn inwards. That is the only way. What you are doing right now is keeping yourself securely nested within the dream. That's fine. But there is awakening. Do not for a second think that there is not. For if you do, you will have fallen into a place, an abyss, where I can never help you. Where Leo can never help you. You will be lost. That is, until you aren't.

Notice what word you started that sentence with. If. If your understanding of reality is based on assumption then you have already gone astray. If it was your direct experience then there is no if.

Wonderful and elegant! @Exystem yours too:) I have nothing to add other than this - this forum is merely a form of entertainment. There is not much to glean here that cannot be found in the teachings (and yes "teachings" is a fancy name for a bunch of you tube videos. But those videos are priceless! This is because God (You) have been trying to wake yourself up for quite some time now and finally - finally you stumbled onto the missing breadcrumbs. Leo didn't create those videos- YOU DID. Godel is you. Cantor...you Socrates - yep. Descartes- uh huh. Einstein is you. Niels Bohr- yup, you guessed it. You. Newton- you. Galileo- you guessed it. Coperinicus- the one and only you. Well done sir! You have from the very beginning been on a quest for understanding. And finally - finally you have come home! Hop off the shoulders of giants now and reclaim your mountain as the sole giant.

Why?

I feel you but maybe you are asking the wrong questions. Maybe instead ask the question "what am i? Because if you know what you are maybe the other questions will resolve themselves. I think you know the answer to whether or not the universe will just vanish or the ground will fall out beneath you. You don't have to worry about this happening because you have created a very grounded, stable dream for yourself that you as the ego cannot unimagine. Without the laws of physics you could not have such a ground. So you have placed them there. You will drive yourself crazy in a dream trying to ask yourself why the dream just doesn't evaporate into thin air. Because you have trapped yourself inside and like a true craftsman - you made sure there were no cracks in the foundation. It has been flawlessly crafted by a master. So start by inquiring into the craftsman not the craft.

Just because you can't see the beauty doesn't mean it's not there. The point of Christ, to me, is that all of Gods devilry, which is the ego, can be forgiven because God has only himself. God smites himself and then returns to perfection. He tried to desecrate his own form, which only returns to formlessness. That is the beauty of God and Christ. And Holykael.

Yes and in fact it is right now all you have to do is wake up. Not so easy though eh? God has lost itself in its own fantasy. One in which it refuses to let go.

Precisely. So why are you worrying about not knowing? Cherish it. It is God's fantasy

Omniscience is the realization that there is no time or space. It is the transcendence of time and space. So yes, I have. And omnipotence will leave you powerless because there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. This is because you are already all things and everywhere and nowhere. You are nothing and everything simultaneously or Nothing with a capital N. There is nothing to create which you are not already. This is God's dilemma. It IS . .. I AM!!! Of course it's not a dilemma after all- because God just has to be itself. And that means to dream.

Of course. Hence the dream. God's dream is to be finite and less than perfect and eternal. But alas, it is only a dream..

Just be careful not to fall into the belief of a religion or a messenger. Yes God is in all of those- but God is also in the atheist who rebukes God.

Awakening doesn't resolve your worldly problems because God is transcendent. But it will give you a higher understanding. With that you can rise above any of your worldly problems should you so choose. But it will not ease the slow deterioration of the mortal body or earn you more money to ease your survival. You have to do that on your own.

@Someone here this doesn't change the fact that omniscience is also possible- just not at the level you are thinking. In fact there is no thinking. But omniscience will give you a complete understanding of what you are as reality itself- and that is the only thing that matters.

Christ is imaginary. I was going to tell you this in your other post. If you continue to post nonsense you will be banned. All religions are imaginary.

Yeah..i mean brute force methods like 5-MeO could simply annihilate the ego and bring instant ego death and God Consciousness - I don't know how true that is though since my awakening was sober. I still think you have to be ready for God. The sober way I believe has to be via the element of surprise.

This is all wrong. You don't get an enlightenment experience. You die. And there is only God or God Mind. So your ego trying to come up with ways will fall short I'm afraid because the ego knows what's coming. The ego is the Deceiver. The ego is the Devil. And yet it is you - so here in lies the paradox and dilemma. What happened for me is I stumbled onto spirituality and began the practices from a place of curiosity and then awakening took the ego by surprise when the insight that the self was an illusion was directly realized it triggered something mystical. The veil of the ego fell away leaving Pure Divine Consciousness. There were also glimpses such as the Wind of God moving through Me or my body convulsing uncontrollably from Infinite Love and Power exploding the finite body from within. But this gave way to calm waters and a seamless ego death - resulting in the basking in Divine Consciousness where understanding requires no finite thought. Where are only Pure Truth dwells. And rebirth will follow. But again this isn't something that can be forced ASAP. This is basically telling the ego it's going to die. It has to be done from a place of sincere curiosity into the nature of Truth and reality. Because there is a gentle part of the ego too - after all the duality of ego and God must collapse and they are ultimately one and the same. So it must come from the part of the ego that is God trying to remember what it is. This is curious not knowing and inspection. And if you can sit in silence that's fine but don't do it for an enlightenment experience do it to understand and investigate - an investigation but without any pre-conceived notions.

@Someone here you can understand reality completely - but it is in not knowing- so you are correct. It is at first order - or the level of Being. Now, you can use self inquiry meditation to become first order - or do nothing meditation. But ultimately omniscience is possible. This will result in the falling away of the ego- which will then return - scorned. But alas, at long last you will be liberated. This will answer all questions and there will be no more questions. No more suffering or fear of death at the highest level. (Your ego will still play games but you have the ability to go meta - its not the same as before You awoke) The tricky thing is it can't come from ego which wants to force things and at the deepest level it is the Deceiver and wants to keep you from Truth. And so It has to be the falling away of the ego through surprise. This is the dilemma. How do you remove yourself when the thing you are trying to remove is you. (At the same time, it's not because it is an illusory veil blanketing Truth). But ultimately if you cut off the conceptual mind the dilemma is lifted.
