Okay guess we just won’t see eye to eye on this. Can agree to disagree. I won’t put more energy into it

“Anything impermanent is not worth pursuing” Ramana

Hahahaha you’re hilarious dude

You must be deeply unaware of how you’re coming of in social situations

Better in Latin America. You’ll probably struggle in the US with it being from another country and not having much skill with it. But you can always learn and will get some luck. These days it’s more like top 1% of men getting laid and 99% left out. Brutal

It’s not that not watching it will all the sudden make you a superior lover and great with women. But watching it, will definitely hurt and not contribute to that. People don’t realize how strong the sexual energy is, and that porn is imprinting their psyche in subtle and obvious ways with what sex is (that it’s about pleasure not love, being dominant, being rough, etc) @Princess Arabia I would agree but I’m not just speaking for myself. Tons of men report this. It’s like your saying “oh you smoked cigarettes and they made you sick? Well, that doesn’t mean everyone gets sick from them, maybe some people get healthier with cigarettes!”

I would agree with this. The problem is that it’s people, even if they start with this, need more and more and more intense and edgy material. Loving couple won’t work for long they want nasty, degrading, material. If you can discipline yourself to only consume loving erotic material then I think you’re good

What I’m saying is being a spiritual teacher is a huge responsibility. People shouldn’t take it up unless they are ready to take on that role. And him cheating on his wife is definitely not cool and out of integrity. Probably turned off some of his students completely from spirituality doing them a huge disservice. If he was just a normal dude plumber who cheated, fine, but he’s not, he’s in a position where many peoples “souls” are relying on him to lead them to God and awakening and he can’t let his dick control him. True teachers know this and he would’ve been wise to just get a divorce if he wanted to sleep with other people

Religion of Tomorrow* Honestly I think psychedelics are good for one thing; inspiring newbies to get started. From there it’s on you to grow and develop your consciousness. I’m so glad I found schools outside of Leo that are stopped in tradition and embodiment (Hridaya, Cheng Hsin) so I can take what Leo says with a grain of salt. The “psychedelic path” is an endless road to nowhere

The latest videos are a bit more positive. But this whole nihilistic rat consciousness thing with 0 explanation of it or an alternative is a bit wack. that said I think he still has deep insights and wisdom to share

I’m a serious yoga student and practitioner and becoming a teacher this yea (doing a 600 hour training with a top competive school) my focus is Indian Traditional Hatha/Tantra Yoga which works specifically with asanas for moving kundalini and Kriyas to be honest, no little Book like that is going to truly teach you yoga, it’s almost a joke. Yoga is a deep and complex science for awakening and it’s important to do it properly with correct training. Id recommend finding a school where you can take an e course or something and learn the foundations of proper Hatha yoga From there you can build a daily practice. 15 min is probably too short, you need at least 30 to do the proper asanas. You seem disciplined enough so I think you can do it

This was a great explanation. Probably the only one that truly makes sense. I also like to think of the human ego mind as a veil and instead of “opening to God” it’s more about “removal of illusion/veil” because God is God which is always there 100%. We are just deeply deluded and ignorant behind our veils, but there really is no real veil, in a way we’re all 100% enlightened already. @Osaid Youre kind of dodging the point. You can’t deny that you’re in this duality , even at least seemingly, and if someone had a gun to your head you wouldn’t Shit yourself. You talk a lot about everything is now and all, which is True, but also, there does seem to be this structure to reality of a simulation/game in which we can have the dual experiences and I don’t think that just a mistake or “delusion”

Def. There’s levels of depths to awakening even in something like the Absolute. The ultimate irony.

A spiritual teacher definitely has a moral obligation to stay in integrity and anyone using their power for sex is a fraud in my point of view. True non duality is recognizing everyone is you and you want to act from the highest Love. Ramana Maharishi for example would never let himself be given food before others or any special treatment in his ashram

Well thank you then ❤️🙏. I appreciate that, and yes, it’s always okay to agree to disagree respectfully. All the best. Regarding your point, it’s not that I don’t find the exploration of consciousness fascinating. In fact the opposite, about a week ago I posted about why spiritual books don’t TALK about the illusion. It’s all just about awakening. So I’m with you there. Here my main argument was this crusade here against non duality as if it’s a lie or brainwashing. Bc non duality is the basis for reality, reality IS non dual, it’s absolute. Done. From there you can go into alien consciousness or different dimensions or whatever. But posing non duality as some delusion brainwashing (as many do here, copying Leo) is just plain wrong. Caveat, is I see the annoyance and turn off with non dual PEOPLE, Rupert Spira for example, and annoying spiritual people, but that shouldn’t take away from the truth of our absolute nature. Rupert Spira can go kill a bunch of babies and non duality is still the basis or fabric of reality.

Yep. That’s spot on.

Also I’m curious what Green cities you’re referring to?

Gotcha. US seems like such a Shitshow right now and the dating scene seems like hell. But I can also see your reasons for wanting to re integrate there

They all seem to point to the Oneness/Awareness/Enlightenment part of reality but none of them, at least that I’ve read, really go into the “illusion” how it works, why it’s this way, how it comes to be, how it’s formed, the reason for it, the depths of it, understanding it. They all seem to just obsess over awakening. Which is great, but I don’t think Being is stupid, why don’t we also address the Illusion and the human and the ego? There must be a reason for all this even if it is ultimately Nothing

It’s funny how people just ride the wave of whatever Leo is saying haha. The best example of this is the whole Solopsism fiasco. Leo claimed that no one else had a conscious expereince and everyone flipped out and got depressed because they believed him. They even started a thread for dealing with the depression of being the only real person in expereince! 😂 How ironic! You need fake versions of yourself to make you feel better about being the only real person hahaha The stupidity! It’s mind blowing 😂 Consciousness can be developed and grown. The problem is people are just too lazy to do what it takes.

Never heard this argument before. Very original and good. Thanks for sharing!

Help!

Im confused on what you’re saying. Are you saying you miss the Latin spiritual towns or you miss the Green cities in the US

Hey brother it sounds like you are on the right track actually. Having some confusion or uncertainty is normal. It seems like you do have that spiritual longing and it’s something you would need incorporated into your life to feel satisfied. Maybe now you are older and more mature/ready for it than when you were 18. Doesn’t mean you have to quit your job but maybe take up a meditation or yoga practice and find some spiritual community around you. I’m sure there are lots in Spain. Places where you can do ecstatic dance, yoga, etc and meet other spiritual people. As for the anxiety, spending time in nature and cutting out toxic habits is very effective. Also a therapist if it’s really bad That’s just the vibe I’m getting from this post. Hope it helps

I’d agree. Super disappointing and shocking honestly. Seems like no matter how advanced some gets or seems, the whole having a dick thing is an issue. Always been that way
