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

If you’re being honest here, Thank you ❤️ I agree life is to be enjoyed, and definitely enjoying love making and sexuality in a positive heart opened way. Women are incredible. Regarding this Rupert Spira thing, it says more about him than it does non duality. Non duality is the truth and fabric of reality. Trying to fight it is like trying to fight with air. I get the turn off because of these out of integrity teachers and annoying spiritual people, but fuck them, they don’t own the Truth, Non duality is the case no matter what monkey shit is going on

No. Those are all the church and religion that skewed his original teachings, so seem rooted in duality and ego. That’s not what the actual person, Jesus Christ, was teaching. They skewed it for their own gain. Check it out; Google “Non dual teachings of Jesus, there’s also “The Lost Years of Jesus” a book about this as well

Honestly it feels like you guys are a bit lost in reactivity (possible at other people spiritual egos) but making a crusade against non duality is unwise. Non duality is the truth of reality, Christ was a non dualist, Buddha was a non dualist, are these people just ignorant rats? Be careful of your own grandiosity

@Miguel1 do you have a reference for him cheating on his wife? I can’t find anything online about it. @Leo Gura what exactly is your anti non duality teaching and what are they so wrong about? I’m genuinely curious. How is non duality brainwashing? Are you sure you’re not mixing up the teachers and their students and their monkey games with the truth of non duality? Are Ramana Maharishi, Peter Ralston, and Martin Ball all brainwashing non dual rats?

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your input.

Interesting. Would love a video on this as it’s something I haven’t really heard before. In your LP course you recommend the book Talent is Overrated which says the opposite. Also @Davino that makes total sense thanks

@Leo Gura I think a flaw in your theory here is the component of Spiritual Development and Grace. I believe that with practice and proper study and teaching, most people can have awakenings. It’s more that they aren’t really interested in it and definitely unwilling to do that tedious meditative work. I would not have discovered my spiritual gifts if I never took a leap of faith and began practicing. And just said “oh it’s all genetics I’m not born enlightened so fuck it.” You see what I’m saying here? Even Ralston had to work his ass off and contemplation like crazy, Ramana spent 15 years cultivating after his initial awakening

I would categorize that as spiritual intelligence, it’s own thing

Yah. In Rio I felt constantly unsafe and on edge. It was not good for my nervous system. I’m in the Northeast now and it feels safer

Yeah I’d agree. Until you quit porn you don’t realize how badly it’s fucking you up
