Yeah i would rather plant the better word in when needed. It is nice to see someone's face when you use a word they don't understand. And you have to explain what it means. It's not to show off I think its natural to grow your vocabulary and you should be able to get more advanced with your language.

Yeah im a nerd like that I enjoy using new words. Math is the complete opposite for me. I suck and I don't want to have to do formulas

Its an interesting take on OCD and religion and how religion helps the mentally ill. But it is very superficial about OCD becsuse ritual is only one flavor of OCD. I actually have OCD and it is not about that at all for me

Always i love learning new words.

Chinese food is yummy

Ok. Then what i want you to realize is that you hold yourself as precisely that "this direct presence experience,this is it, its not my face" that this IS your identity but notice something. This is a fucking thought ! How can it be you when it was so not you that it was a flashing thought?! Fuck. I mean where does that leave you then? Oh my fucking God there isnt a you. So you have to keep doing that until something mystical happens and then that will be enlightenment.

Nothing on enlightenment

Yes please 🙏

Do we have to listen to the whole lecture?

Yay.

Hahaha exactly. So either it doesn't make sense to us because it literally makes no sense or we are just dumb fucks

That is not what I am saying. With self inquiry you have to do a thorough investigation of what you truly believe you are. How can you wake up to what you really are if you do not know what you think you are. So we are really fucked here. I can't even get him to give me one honest answer about what he thinks he is and yet - he has an identity. Because he is here as him.

Well notice that too is something held in your mind. Whatever infinite space less space is. That is held in your mind as something. That is what we want to get to. The actuality of it

There is no intimacy that you have with yourself. Are you able to really sit and be with yourself ? It almost seems that is lacking within you. This is a problem when it will come to enlightenment. You cannot run from yourself. Enlightenment is about facing yourself. But first you must know what you are.

Some lakes can be no joke either. Wide and vast. One time a buddy and I did a challenge where we would jump off the boat and swim to the other side of the lake and back even while other boats were coming. It was no easy feat and I am a strong swimmer.

Ahh..yeah it just came off cryptic...I feel like a lot of times I have to decipher your posts. But usually its just because I'm slow 😀

With me I pictured myself. It was like a still photo of when I was young. Just what I randomly picked. Thats what I thought about myself. How my face looked. Is there something like this for you. Like how you picture yourself.

No. What image is in your mind now of what they see.

He put that behind a paywall.

No what do the people looking back at you see

Thats because you are full of shit. You have an identity. What is it. When you go into a classroom what do folks see. What do you see yourself as. Answer it.

@zurew I wouldn't want to be him when he comes online and sees all this. Just absolutely destroyed.

This is absolutely on par. But then he tells us there will be a state he has reached that you can reach if you stay with him What the fuck happened to him bro

100 percent correct But life is about your personal relationships. That is what it comes down to. And if you have made a personal bond with Leo. Which you did - are you willing to so quickly throw him away? Maybe help him learn and grow. And that is what you have been doing and I so appreciate you for that. Your intelligence has been a shining star here for all of us. But we are all on the same team.

I don't categorize him as being grandiose. I just called him out when I saw his narcissism coming out this time. And he claimed it was not that, but that he was leading us to some crazy enlightened state that no other human had experienced. Well. I call bullshit and I called him out. But I am not putting him in a different bucket from teachers like Ralston or Spira. He still deserves those accolades. He has some great material. But even he would tell you its time to drop the teacher when its time.
