@tedens @tedens yes of course not this is very radical stuff to a materialist.. but we can also ask ourselves - if good and evil are not from the same source - and all is not One (which it is by the way and he can discover this) then what do you ground reality in? So...let me direct this question to @WHO IS What are you grounding reality in?

@WHO IS no one is denying that the illision is real inside the illusion. I'm merely pointing out that you can Awaken to the illusion and see through it. It will make your life in this limited form a lot easier. But don't take my word that this is the way it is - discover it for yourself Are you meditating and following the path?

@WHO IS Well keep in mind it/You are Infinite. You must be because you are groundless. That said Infinity includes ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. It is a singularity of pure potential that includes every possibility that could have ever happened or not happened, without actually playing out. It is pure Isness - free of all duality such as good and evil. So there is no where for it/you to escape yourself other than to start playing it out. To create duality. Good and evil are just two of those dualities. Only in limited dual form do we play out good and evil. God in formlessness is just pure Being and Love.

@abrakamowse nice quote. I don't know if he ever became a mystic but if not he knew it conceptually

You are reality itself. You are universal, infinite consciousness. You cannot escape yourself. You can only virtually escape yourself by limiting yourself and dividing yourself into smaller, finite consciousness which do not yet know they are the whole of consciousness. The point is to explore yourself as every one of these perspectives by simply being yourself. And ultimately to discover that you are the whole of it and everything is One. WHO IS is one of these perspectives. He is an idea within the Great Mind. He is free to be whatever the hell he wants to be. He can choose to be happy or miserable. Ideally he will have much less suffering if he can find peace and happiness. Suffering only exists in his limited form because the form cannot remain the same form forever, despite its need for survival and it's fight against change - it will ultimately morph and change and parts of it will die and regrow until ultimately it dies altogether. Ideally he will discover what he truly is and this will provide him the highest peace and lead to liberation.

@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.
