There's no point at all... it's perfectly pointless for No One ❤ Therein lies the freedom ?

Yes it's the whole show. Whatever arises and simultaneously whatever doesn't arise, is all IT... it's not separate. 0 = Infinity

Yes completely unknowable and incomprehensible, everything and nothing, real and unreal. It's radical it's wild it has no goal or agenda....its THIS!! The kernel of sand, the piece of grass, the dog s*** on the sidewalk; the pine cone; the clouds; the trees; the stop lights; the turkey sandwich. The boundless isness and infinite unconditional love and freedom for No One. ❤ Its THIS!!

This kind of honesty and humility creates an atmosphere more conducive for this recognition ❤ Remember what's being discussed here is already the case, it's not something that isn't already true. It's already whole complete and perfect.... It's just whether it's recognized or not, hence the saying it's a lifting of the Veil.

This is why I'm saying you need to look and see through the illusion clearly for yourself. If thoughts about Santa Claus being real arise here, I don't start actually believing in Santa Claus again.

You need to look for yourself, it can't be something just intellectually understood it has to be seen there... Explore this SENSE of self very-very thoroughly. Not by thinking about it, but by FEELING it. Keep the focus of attention on the sense of self and inquire: Does the sense of self have a location? Does the sense of self have a shape or a size? Does the sense of self say or communicate anything? If the answer is yes, how does the sense do this exactly? Does the sense of self have any characteristics or attributes? What is the sense of self ‘made of’? An image? Sound? Taste? Smell? Sensation? Thought Arising? If not, where is any Direct or Actual Experience of some sense of self?

You're asking what is the ego in a spiritual sense... like why did God create something that seems to cause suffering... maybe you're coming at the question wrong. Why is there a tree why are there rainbows why are there flowers. You're coming at it with the assumption that why is a valid question. Maybe it's just what is... A product of evolution... A survival tool/mechanism promoting self-centered activity to keep the organism alive long enough to reproduce. Now it could be called a dysfunctional survival mechanism that has outlived it's usefulness in this day and age, but again this is just a limited conditioned thought. Another way to look at the entire situation is that it's perfect whole and complete because it's what's happening. The issue seems to be that we are identified as the ego/separate sense of 'self' which causes the feelings of separation and lack. It's a misidentification which is neither right or wrong. ❤

Love this guy so much, he really cracks me up, especially what he says at the end with his super contagious laugh. ❤

Like this ?❤

Those sound like some pretty strong glimpses....you may have rattled the sense of self or loosened it up a bit, and yes that would be totally normal considering what you're doing. What makes up 'I'... What does 'I' consist of... Look with intensity, look with all of your attention and energy. Look like a man whose hair is on fire looks for a river. ❤

Yes the sense of self cannot conceive of its own unreality. Yes self-centered activity/egoic self agenda decreases greatly and there's a deep relaxation within the body/mind. Yes it's super strange it's like something that wasn't real dies LOL... hence why it's called an illusion. It's not logical in any way.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" -- William Shakespeare This was one of the best videos I've seen from Leo in a while, it felt like a delicious Italian layer cake of some of his best teachings from a few years ago all stacked up together with Love as the main ingredient. (big picture understanding at its best right here) According to actualized.org Spiral Dynamics I would rate this video at around: 10% Green 80% Yellow 10% Turquoise THIS is it....Leo said it!! ❤ Yes the elephant is Infinity as well as each portion being touched. Every piece is the whole and every whole is the ✌ Everything is it, and IT is everything!! Every perspective and all perspectives are simultaneously IT!! The seeking is IT....The experience of not finding is IT.... The experience of finding is IT.... Not seeking at all is IT. Everything is IT... everything is THIS.. It's naturally whole complete and perfect ❤ Thank you brother loved it!!

It's not about being silent it's not about being anything. You can sing all day long and that's still perfect. Please don't bring prescriptions here because I will spank you with everything is it. You don't have to be a certain way... True Liberation is being whatever arises as it.

Well there is no you, so the replies are Universal. I just want to ask one question? What is consciousness? Think about it? Have you ever been unconscious? yes maybe when you sleep. The question is who or what is conscious? Where is that one?

@Dylan Page there is no goal so whatever arises is what arises... Yes don't try to force anything just let it play out naturally. You're in a good spot just let it flow ❤ naturally

@Seth it's not a mystical mystery. What are you experiencing right now. That's it ....you will never find anything else than what you're experiencing right now. The real question is...... is there actually an experiencer or just the experienced?

Pooping in the car is still IT guy's it's incredible. One time in the cab of my truck in Afghanistan I had to go number 2 so bad I used a female wag bag which was designed for urination only. I dropped a big log on the truck seat... I thought it went in the bag but luckily it was hard enough it didn't soak into my truck seat, so I just chucked it out the window at a little Afghani girl. It did hit her in the face unfortunately but it was so hard she thought it was a stick. This is still IT....?

@James123 of course not brother who would ❤

Yes sir take that entire weight off of your shoulders and you'll find what you're looking for. ❤

Yes nothing to see here

Yes it's so in your face that it's unrecognized. Feeling silly is it... feeling like you haven't had any spiritual experiences or insights is it.. You're not going anywhere... it's the inescapable everythingness ? ❤

@GroovyGuru for me spirituality isn't a separate category of life... it is life and everything you could possibly do is still it. While it may feel like something separate it is the entire package. Non-duality is not something separate from everything. You're like a fish swimming to a different part of the ocean thinking it found new water...?
