@LfcCharlie4 If there is no individual who's more awake than another, how can there be an individual who's more conscious than another?

That's an incongruity.

As soon as you think about it you are beliving it, make it a concept. Direct experience of not-knowing is what truly gives truthful insights. If there is a "YOU" who's critically thinking and analyzing a thought, then it is not the Truth, it's logical thinking, yet it also is True because reality is one. Hehehe right.

Are you assuming that learning something new from an external source, and adding more information to my ego will deepen my wisdom? That's projecting your authority away.

@electroBeam Spot on. You put it perfectly. I myself resonate with Leo because my main passion is knowing reality, god, love, intelligence, etc. I look at the absolute state as a positive side-effect, because it will eventually dawn on you. And I like the idea of studying teachers across the board, which Leo actually suggests you do. Leo has often said this work is about more than just feeling good in your body, and living the rest of your life in some bliss state. And I agree with that, and id say that's where psychedelic use differs and can take one deeper than the standard teachings do. The teachings such as Spira, Ralston, etc, ultimately trying to make you realize your true nature, disidentifying with the false self. Psychedelics I believe will take one deeper into the structure of the machine of god, exploring god consciousness and not just basking in bliss. There also comes a time where one has to give up all "external sources" which is what Leo has been doing now recently. And what many of us who are on this path will have to do at one point. But none of us are as far as Leo has gone I'm sure. He got where he is precisely because he studied teachers of various sources. The teachers like Spira, Ralston, Sadhguru, etc, all still have their own way of teaching things. They are not completely rid of ego, else their teachings would all be exactly the same. Different cultural upbringings and worldviews play a big role. You can experience divine god consciousness from a stage yellow (teal), turquoise, indigo, violet, etc, thinking you've "made it" when in fact it's just a state from which you see your worldview. Integral Theory covers this very well. Reality is infinite after all, you can go on forever.

@electroBeam I think people underestimate Leo's integration. From his blog post videos, it would indicate he has plenty of sober awakenings and experiences. I think he's become "enlightened" to the same degree as other teachers, he's just trying to go further. And I know you're aware of what I said, just wanted to clarify it a little.

@electroBeam Ultimately you won't get any of these answers, or a better understanding of god unless it's your own direct experience.

@whatthefucksgoinon Here is your answer, this is not Leo speaking - It's literally god speaking through Leo's body.

@LfcCharlie4 How much of Leo's content have you actually watched because he has dismissed every part of this inflation description throughout hundreds of his videos. For example, Live Awakening Part 2. There was no Leo in that video, it was purely god speaking through a vessel. I watched it on LSD and it was so pure and clear how far he has gone, deeper than almost any known human I've ever heard of. Notice how everything he said in that video is the same thing masters have said for thousands of years - AND MORE. The website you linked is also biased towards psychedelics because they clearly have not experienced them. Are you aware that you imagined Ramana, Rupert Spira, and Francis Lucille? And then projected your authority onto them. Leo has gone beyond that. When one is in such high god consciousness, there is no way of deluding yourself like this inflation points to. At that point, you are way beyond some silly ego-clinging. You literally die. Truth is Truth. I don't like to be the guy who's defending Leo, because to me it doesn't mean shit if he's more awakened than some other mainstream masters. I do my own thing as others should too. But it's blatantly clear how awakened the man has become. And it's clear that to some people have some idealistic standard for how "the most awakened" guru should look like, and how he should speak. Of course, a guy who lives in an apartment in Las Vegas and does psychedelics couldn't be more awake than MY favorite Indian Yogi master. No! the most enlightened master has to live in a cave in a diaper.

@Pilgrim Right on!

@LfcCharlie4 Oh-oh here we go again. ? Leo is at a point where he has become aware of his own authority. I agree that we can't just follow what he says because after all these are HIS truths. It does users here no good to take it on belief. But if you have a problem with him calling Ramana not woke (if he did, which he hasn't...yet), but not Sadhguru, aren't you biased then. @Pacific Sage 95%

@Ya know Closest one I know is Martin Ball. But there are also probably some hidden people who've gone so far. @Harikrishnan Wouldn't surprise me if he'd say that too.

Neither of those probably.

Leo did take yoga, meditation, contemplation, self-inquiry very seriously for a long time until he dove into the world of psychedelics. And many of the psychedelics are almost completely unknown. I don't know of anyone who's gon as far into psychs as Leo other than Martin Ball, but he has not done DPT and various others such as Leo has. I'd say, are they conscious of how they're constructing reality right now as god. Not just realizing the self, but going way further down the rabbit hole of reality, and into the godhead. I'm pretty sure natural awakening only takes you so far. Psychedelics are on another level.

@Ya know If Sadhguru is not awake, then none of the teachers you've heard of are. Except maybe Leo.

@Leo Gura Takes balls to claim that. Nice!

@Zigzag Idiot I find I get more mental work done on LSD and I integrate more of the trip rather than Mushrooms. Love both tho. Can't be a carpenter and only use a drill, you need a saw too.

ahh relativity at it's finest

Chapter: 18 - EDIBLES Today I woke up with a lot of excitement because I planned on making me som firecrackers (edibles). I put 2g of decarbed afghan-kush on some crackers with organic peanut butter and white chocolate. I rarely smoke these days if at all, it was a habit me and my friend formed 2 years ago but it's lessened ever since. I like it way more staying clean. So I've got some experience with weed and edibles. I don't really like smoking weed because I feel it's too dirty and recreational. But edibles on the other hand, couldn't be further from smoking. It's full-on psychedelic and by no means am I stretching it by saying that. If you've never tried edibles after psychedelic use, you're missing out on some profound trips, some to DMT, or Mushroom level effect. But it only applies if you're not an avid smoker with some tolerance. I will be consuming 0.5g each week starting on Sunday night. I've found 0.5 to be the sweet spot; it seems like edibles have a limit where after a certain point it just becomes uncomfy and too much. I've tried all the way up to 1.5g in one sitting and it was overwhelming and dirty, while 0.5-0.8 is like 200ug LSD or 4g of mushrooms. I want to see how deep I can take them, and if they rival psychedelic use for growth, integration, and not just in terms of trip strength (which they do). One of the trips, I will be mixing edibles with 2g of mushrooms also, I will do so in silent darkness again, as I will with all of the edible trips. Silent darkness completely bypasses all distractions, so it will be a clean internal journey for hopefully some profound realizations. I'll be doing Kriya Yoga each day, shamanic breathing, contemplation, and self-inquiry. It might take some toll to do all of this each day, but it's what's needed for big gains in this work.

@GrowthPilgrim I was wondering why I was seeing so many old posts appear out of the blue. ?

@Hardik

@Raptorsin7 My first jump from 150ug to about 400ug was so amazing and unbelievably beautiful that I find it likely that you'd get more emotional release at higher doses. The ego melts completely away and you are kind of forced to deal with these issues. Being able to almost reshape your psychological conditions to your liking like clay. From my personal experience. If I were in your shoes I'd try and do maybe 2-3 150ug trips with some shadow work in between, then move onto higher doses. If only it were that easy. I'd say they are more so to work out your problems and shadows, exactly like you are facing. Could be a throat chakra issue. I know you'll figure this stuff out man. It just takes some time, patience, and internal exploring.

2g Mushroom Trip Report I lemon-tek'd 2.5g of liberty cap mushrooms last night. I started off by meditating for about 1 hour after ingesting the lemon juice. The trip took about 40 minutes to kick in which was surprisingly long. So there I sat in total darkness with some ambient music playing, and some visuals started to spawn and I felt the consciousness rise quickly. I was expecting more visuals, like mushrooms in darkness tend to show. But to my surprise, there were very little visuals, but the thought stream kept going deeper and deeper into metaphysical questions. After some while in a meditative posture, I went and proceeded to lie in my bed with no music, total silence. To try and face the ultimate challenge. My death. I lie there and contemplate how it would be to lie in my death bed and start to fade away into total darkness. And I face ego death, becoming totally aware of my real self, that which can not die. Death is the ultimate illusion. I then go onto contemplate various things on how to awaken when I am in the sober state, contemplation, and self-inquiry would seem to be the most crucial things, to peel the onion layers of my false self, until I reach the core. Purifying my soul and ego-mind is the "goal". I also became aware of how everything I do in my life is a distraction of realizing myself as god. It's all total bullshit. There is nothing here to do other than to awaken to my inner nature; to realize the illusion. My whole past and this present moment is a subset of god, lost in an insane imagined matrix of a dream. The whole universe, all of history, nothing but a speck of dust.

Yeah, I also find that resistance to the flow of the universe is one of the best ways to let the ego stay in control. When you let go of trying to make things your way, everything seems to fall into place - in perfect order. I do love sitting for an hour to meditate, it's not so much of a dealbreaker for me, but I find I should definitely also be meditating more throughout the day, and staying aware while doing various tasks. But the ego loves to find ways to get away from doing so.

@VeganAwake I had an awakening last night where I realized the importance of true contemplation. And how meditation and stillness of the mind is crucial for a proper contemplation session. Also all the bullshit distractions the ego makes, whether that's trying to escape doing proper internal questioning; shedding the layers of the ego false self. Do you do Kriya Yoga or some other practice?
