Indeed and for those trying to awaken quieting the egoic mind into pure Actuality may ignite such mystical states.

Remember you are warned repeatedly not to take these teachings as ideology. So yes you must watch out for self deception. The ego will want to co-opt these teachings for itself. That is true in life and in this work. Yes the Truth is found in a deeper place or a place prior to language and thought. Then when you come back to a finite state of consciousness you can say you are God. Leo gives you deep Truths as if they are no big deal. That's his style. He doesn't beat around the bush - rather he tells you the fastest path to enlightenment...aka psychedelics, while providing the conceptual framework. He is not gonna wipe your ass though - that's up to you.

Here's the a high level look...Suffering is a direct result of selfishness. God is selfless and formless and thus cannot suffer. That which is finite or form can suffer. Because it ultimately has to give up all it's attachments and form. God limits itself so it can actually suffer as a finite being and therefore wake up to total Selflessness. The key is to learn from your suffering and become more selfless! This will happen naturally as well but you can edge it along quicker knowing this

You are not grasping it yet. Asking others are more stories. Look at your hand and become conscious of what is actual. At some point if you wish to awaken it must be alone.

@communitybuilder you can really simplify all of this. There is only THIS. Look at your hand and acknowledge the ACTUALITY. Thats it. That is all there is. That is GOD and you are IT. We can go on and on with stories. Which we do. But that's all there is. You're getting lost in stories that you are a human and that there are other humans because that's what the mind does.

@Mulky yeah i think he was already mentally off a tad prior to any blows haha - yet the dude is a survivor and experienced God it seems. Good for him. Not sure what additional blows to the head could do at this point if he made it this far.

It is Absolutely true. It is relatively true and not true.

If he did become aware of Love when his consciousness came back down his baseline may have increased but he is still then in a different state of consciousness - one that would be susceptible to the ego.

Buddhism is the stuff haha...Brother we go back a while - its good to see you back in some sort of capacity.....you used to be really active when i first joined the forum. Im just glad to share the journey with you I mean me Of course as you said at some point you must drop all concepts, leave this place and return (or not) an enlightened master

@abrakamowse yes the nature of Infinity collapses all dualities - namely everything and nothing. So when that duality collapses there is only Mind. But Infinity is also Oneness. So Oneness can only shift states. A state where it can conceive of duality by dividing itself and states where it is completely One. But all the while it is just Consciousness shifting and morphing states. Even the state in which it realizes it is a state-shifter is itself a state. That is Oneness.

That's correct and one can hit such super human levels of consciousness that they realize that all other POVs are actually being held within their consciousness. The Godhead. This realization of Oneness is absolutely wonderful and terrifying simultaneously. Cuz you realize this entire thing is Yours - but then holy fuck it hits you. As God I am Absolutely fucking Alone. That one hits like a mofo and you will spend a lot of your days (the ego will when you come back) trying to forget it. The ego needs others. One can also have a direct realization of Infinity in which they realize Infinity. And they will experience every possibility there is onto Infinity. So you will be your mother - and you will be your father. You will be Lebron James haha - which i found to be petty neat.

If you guys liked this you should go back to Leo's original enlightenment videos where he has some really good guided exercises for self inquiry. Throw away the notion of them being old its some of his best stuff.

Yeah me too

Suffering.

Damn dude you are coming out of the gate hard.... Well fortunately for you i have the answers. In order for you to experience form - which is finite - you must feel it in its entirety. You must become finite. Otherwise you could not experience or be finite Next. You must become conscious of Absolute Infinity because Absolute Inifnity is Absolute Goodness. The bottom line is you have to realize that you are yourself. And therefore you are Good because of yourself. Because of Infinity. There is no reason why you are Good. There is no reason because all reasons are relative. You are Good because of Yourself.

Dude. You have to be by yourself for this stuff. At least take the time for that. This is serious work.

@fridjonk. That's pretty cool I guess i missed where he tried 5-MeO

Yes there is. If you become directly conscious of what you ARE by accident or delving curiously into spirituality. No preconceived bias as to anything. Of course that radically recontexualizes what the definition of surrender is. Because the defintion of surrender would imply a conscious decision. But anyhow that's the best scenario towards awakening - yet most of you here already know too much which makes awakening all the more challenging.

God reveals itself when you are ready.

This is false. Watch it you only have a few points to go.

@fridjonk Yeah from years on the planet and the "toad" DMT. He probably doesn't even know about 5-MeO. If someone introduced him to Leo or other spiritual teachers, like Adyashanti, for example - his awareness would most likely triple haha.

Oops i was actually talking about Tyson. Connor hasn't suffered a day in his life. The fast maybe if he did it for real.

@fridjonk his path to consciousness has been suffering and then taking psychedelics. He is a good guy who has developed a lot more than the majority of us will. I was talking about Tyson not Connor Oops.

Yes! Of course a breakdown is the ego's defense mechanism. The total surrender (which would have been seemless if you didn't know you were surrendering but stumbled on it) is enlightenment.

He is YOU. He has had glimpses and maybe even big awakenings but probably doesn't have the framework to integrate them. Good guy though. He knows selfishness is ego and he knows Truth is selflessness. Whether he knows that consciously or not i cannot surmise. But he has come far in his own way. Much of that way was suffering. He took the path of suffering and then took psychedelics. If he had the teachings here he would be even more conscious.
