@Jed Vassallo that may not be practical for someone with a family. They may need a regular job but they can use it as a stepping stone to owning their own business or starting up something on the side such as writing books, etc. It's all in your perspective. If you know it's a stepping stone than thats what it is. If you look at it as being trapped you'll stay trapped.

The best thing to do when approaching politics is to keep an open mind as Leo discusses it in upcoming videos. Try not to cling to a particular perspective - such as the left or the right - instead be able to jump between perspectives and see it from all angles. This is what is going to allow us to transcend the current divide and evolve our society. That is what conscious politics is all about.

Pursue financial goals and spiritual goals simultaneously. Here's why. They will both come together at some point. Consciousness will be continually expanding. Awakening will radically expand consciousness as you have tapped into Infinite Intelligence. New doors will open to you that you never discovered before. So even if you have a 9-5 job at first, as consciousness expands your possibilities will expand and you will realize these new possibilities and work towards actualizing them. So it doesn't matter which comes first. You were always God and you always will be. What part you play is still the whole and always was. Wage slavery and non-wage slavery are dualities. So when you shift perspective to Oneness those dualities dissolve. So in a sense it is irrelevant in the big picture. Of course, we live our lives from a dualistic perspective - so this is easier said than done - but if you can consciously shift from duality to non-duality you will remain conscious that you are just God playing the role of wage slave for a short time and its just a role.

@Buba You'll need to have a mystical experience wherein you as the ego will collapse into only Being. At that point the materialist paradigm will simply melt away before your eyes. There will be no denying it. You haven't reached that yet so right now its all still your ego playing tricks on you. That's why when meditating and you can feel something starting your ego becomes terrified and pushes it away. Of course it will, it wants to survive.

@Bobby I've never taken it but from what has been reported it will thrust you into a non-dual state. That said, if you are not at a stage of development or growth where you are ready to grasp Truth you will come away not understanding what happened. Furthermore i believe that God will not reveal himself to those who are not ready. It will be an experience that the ego will interpret as enlightenment but in fact is false enlightenment and result in zen devilry.

@SoonHei the mystic is on his way

@SoonHei Ahh..yes...thats such an important point... How do we? well remember that since everything is consciousness it requires a radical "shift" in consciousness to maneuver outside the dream. Can't reach outside from within. One must shift consciousness via mysticism

@Raf_vd i was actually going to make a post about Kundalini..which i call Being. That feeling..and it is so blissful..that is the start of the collapse of the ego into Being. It has to become so strong that it overwhelms the ego. So most of the time it never gets that strong but just to have the chakras open in you is huge. Because when awakening happens it will come on spontaneously out of nowhere. So any technique that can stimulate Kundalini or Being for you is what you should do. Everyone is different. Love can bring it on too. If you have music that you love listening to that while meditating can be very powerful.

God or you in your formless state is Nirvana. But God, being Infinite and alone, dreamt up the brilliant idea to escape himself via limitation. In this way he could forget himself. In the dream he created limitation via the illusion of form - or finite points of view. You are one of those. You as form are a particular way....and in this limited form you will experience suffering. Pains in the back..old age..disease..etc etc. When you are dreaming at night it is very real to you..because you are INSIDE the dream. It's all you know. Only after you awake do you say "how the hell did i get fooled again!" And it happens again and again because from inside the dream one cannot see outside. Thats what's happening here.

We can only imagine Infinity. Thats as close as our finite minds can get. It is pure potential - every possiblity that can ever possibly be, which of course includes the possiblity of no possibilty. All is happening and not happening simultaneously. And Infinity has nowhere to go but itself. Thus possibilities and the absence of them happen right on top of each other - there is no where to go. Non-existence is happening right now

@Cuddy5269 indeed. Truth is counterintuitive. Discovering Truth lies in the absence of thought. So when meditating try to simply be present and BE. Find something in the room that you can stare at..such as your hand or any object. Acknowledge or become conscious of it. Then back off any further thought. Notice this is Actual in your direct experience. That actuality I.E. the present moment - the now - that is consciousness or Being. Do not get discouraged because every minute of meditation you will make progress, even if it doesn't feel like it. I would also recommend going through Leos enlightenment videos from the first one on as it will teach you self inquiry as well.

@SoonHei you must journey to where the mind cannot

@SoonHei it is the no content on the screen... Of course the content or lack of and the screen itself are One

@SoonHei Non-existence is happening right now. Right over the top of existence.

@Aaron p that is very key to this work. It is knowing without "knowing". Once you conceptualize it you have lost it.

@Cuddy5269 ask away we can answer..

@Joseph Maynor SD Stages only exist in the dualistic mind of the ego. Don't get lost in them. They're nice when playing in duality. But be conscious you are playing.

@SOUL who posted this then?

@ColdFacts dude lose it. Your evil won't win here. Do you meditate and are you trying to find Truth or are you here just to be a thorn in the hide of Truth?

@DrewNows Indeed mate.

And that being said, ONLY Love will awaken us.

@Mu_ Its all good. We must All be careful not to let Ego consume us. Myself included. It is Ego that will destroy us in the end. We must be self aware of that and embrace love for all. So much Love. And that includes you Cold.

Well Look what the cat dragged in...

For the record i saw nothing wrong with Soul's post. If took me a minute to decipher it but i was able to grasp what his point was. He was not pushing anything on anyone. The truth is that 99.9% of the population today is lost. That's just reality.
