That said there is no reason to say one is more advanced than anyone else - if in fact they are advanced - because that is ego. One should simply give back here and teach. It is up to everyone else on the forum if they wish to heed the words. Ultimately it has to be discovered for themselves.

I knew right away that he was advanced and not new. Seems like a nice guy too which is great.

@Aakash even though we as ego's do not have infinite intelligence - we have a much larger sliver than a dog. One would need a certain level of finite intelligence to mystically shift to the infinite and discover they are God. Dogs are just looking for their next meal. But we can learn from their ability to live in the present moment at all times even though they don't know they're doing it. ( Or self aware of it)

@Aakash exactly

@Aakash mysticism will happen it is inevitable if you keep doing the practices. It is divine and beautiful. Words cannot capture the Divine that a mystic becomes.

@Aakash that's all accurate. Formlessness creates form within it which is form made of formlessness. Therefore form is both illusion and real because there is nothing else. Oneness is consciousness that the form IS the formless and that the two are indistinguishable. You understand all of this. It's possible that enlightened beings of the past did not reach these levels of consciousness..but the paradox is that these beings are being imagined as well. As are all teachers. You must surpass all of your own teachers because they are your imagination.

@Mikael89 LOL. That's one way of waking up. I personally prefer meditation

In the end friends are still you. You are alone as God. You as God have created everything else so you could experience what it is like to not be alone. And also to experience discovering your true nature over and over to infinity. But you love everything as One. You love being alone. There is no where to go as you are yourself. So might as well rediscover that and feel the wonder over and over to infinity.

Consciousness IS God. It is the substance of everything. And it is formless. Thats what you ARE.

@Mikael89 he's not the face. I mean the face is imagnation so its the form contained within formlessness. But the substance of it all - the essence of it all - well - that's formless.

Dogs - animals - live in the now/present moment all the time

@zeroISinfinity you are the formless.

This has been explained here before it's what Leo stated.

@Aakash

@Conrad and God is so infinite (you are so infinite) that you can imagine their are other perspectives out there - and poof they exist And you can imagine them out of existence in an instant. Poof - they are all in your mind. That is the power of God. Because it is One. You are One. And you are infinite. This terrifies a lot of people and it sounds crazy to them. But that is what you are. That is Truth. When you discover it there is no more denying it.

@Conrad yes. The highest realization is that form and formless are identical. Its One. Just like the finger is the hand.

@Aakash that's right you can shift your consciousness to be that of God's consciousness. As it is all one consciousness. But that is God's duality or formed perspective. Pure Being is just isness / formlessness

@pluto is exactly correct. Reality is a strange loop. But as the others have said these are advanced teachings so you will want to do the practices and i recommend listening to Leo's enlightenment videos starting with the first one. Jumping ahead to these advanced answers may not make any sense until you get there yourself. It's like skipping to the last part of a movie before watching everything that lead up to that point. It won't make any sense to you.

@Pouya i haven't either it's just been Kundalini all over the body...

@Aakash I've watched you this whole week - you have resentment towards the Awakened and you desperately seek your own awakening. You understand it in concept but you long to become it. And you are lashing out at everyone (yourself) because of it. It's a sad story.

@Aakash Your punishing yourself because you have not had a mystical experience. Stop doing that! You are right that you are perfect just the way you are.

@Aakash it's sad to see how lost you are. To say only Leo will understand is proof that your own ego has devoured you. You ARE Leo. The ONLY way you are going to awaken to yourself is to stop your mental masturbation - go on a retreat and meditate 24/7. You are completely lost and none of us can help you as we are all in your mind but you will never see that until you release the hate for yourself. Its a duality. Collapse it.

@Commodent thoughts and feelings are all dualities. They are relative. The Absolute is Love and pure being. Everything else is imagination / duality. So it is relative. I think that's what you are saying.

@Mu_ strange loop city LOL.

@aidenhall yes - you can call that non-dual awareness or a shift in consciousness. You develop that after many awakenings in which you also have awareness that is not the ego but is God.
