She mentions a lot about George Floyd's criminal history. I've even heard it suggested that Floyd and Chauvin worked together for 17 years at a night club. And that Floyd even did a porno once. Is there more to this story? Does it matter? If you're following the mainstream narrative, George Floyd is a hero. But why didn't we know about his past? Would our reaction have been the same if the mainstream narrative wasn't such a clear cut black vs. white race issue? I fully expect this thread to be locked, so get in your thoughts/comments while you can!

Love in all it's forms? Seems like that's something we're all striving to grasp.

I think it would help the quality of this sub-forum if we all took a moment to re-read Leo's forum guidelines. "Please keep in mind that this is a naturally controversial topic. Watch your self-bias, ideology, and devilry extra closely as you think about and talk about these issues. These issues are emotionally charged precisely because they go to the core of your identity & survival. Don't turn this sub-forum into a distraction from inner work."

Good point OP. There are 1000s of such cases, known and unknown. There is a reason why the Floyd case got so much attention and no one here is talking about it. For those who haven't watched the Shaver video: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/12/08/graphic-video-shows-daniel-shaver-sobbing-and-begging-officer-for-his-life-before-2016-shooting/ Yes he reached back, no they should not have killed him. Period. We've gone too far. Use your head (better yet, use your heart). For those who still haven't watched the full George Floyd video, go watch that as well.

All I'm saying is, I refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils. Either way, you still get "evil". It is definitely my perspective, and I'm definitely clinging to it until I come to some greater realization. So far, everyone who has explained why voting for the lesser of two evils is a good idea did not resonate with me. I guess that makes me close minded?

What perspective would that be? To vote for the one who doesn't directly/personally harm me, but continues to harm millions of others around the world? I'll say no to all the criminals, thank you.

Yes, he's looking to be reelected (or just continue being President regardless of elections). Especially with yet another shitty alternative (Biden), I would've thought this was obvious. But I think people are in denial.

IF I was a voting person (which I'm not) AND I believed in voting for the lesser of two evils (which I don't).. THEN I would vote Trump. Why? Because at least Trump pisses people off and gets us to care again. We need to care again. I believe all our past President's have been shit. That's how we got to where we are today. The proof is in the pudding. I would take an obvious bafoon over a wolf in sheep's clothing any day.

I want to share with you an exchange I had with Leo in another thread over at the Politics forum. I'll paraphrase it a little for effect, but this is the gist of what was said: Me: Guys, martial law is coming! This is the end of the U.S. Empire as we know it!! Leo: Chill out bro. This is all business as usual. There's nothing new about any of this. Me: But Leo! This ain't normal! Call it growing pains, Call it what you want. But don't call this business as usual. This is consciousness waking up to itself! Leo: That is all that's ever happening. There is no other game in town. I often disagree with you Leo.. but now I realize, that's a part of it too. This is all a part of our awakening. Thank you @Leo Gura ?

@Leo Gura I think that's what it's going to take. To go find out what's true for ourselves. At the moment my highest truth says to maximize consciousness in this delusion of separation as much as possible. Like turn up the Love and enjoy the fuck out of life in all the ways I use to fear or take for granted. I'm not ready to die just yet, but it seems like you are.. yet you haven't because you're still here (thank God). So the very same thing that compels you to stay, is the very same thing I seek to Love as much as humanly possible. If you say fear compels us to stay, then my purpose in life is to eliminate my fears as much as possible while remaining in separation so as to experience the miracle/gift of witnessing it. That's all you've ever done on your 5-MEO trips, and it sounds pretty awesome. This whole thread was pretty awesome. Thanks to all ?

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek."

Haha, that made me smile ❤️

What lies on the other side of allowing yourself to feel shitty is the full realization of unconditional self-love, compassion and forgiveness. You are who you've been looking for. Keep going! ?

@Leo Gura So tell me, is that what God (me) wants? To fully awaken to itself? I mean, did God not create this illusion of separation for a reason? Because it's more enjoyable, challenging, adventurous, etc? That's what resonates with me. As much awakening as possible while remaining in the illusion/separation game. I don't want full awakening. Or at least, I would need to be convinced first why I would want that (I'm open to it).

Yes and no. Yes in the sense that we are being egg'd on to over react.. on purpose. No in the sense that we have an absolutely psychotic law enforcement, military, and government if you look at our history. Enough is enough. We should've been in the streets decades ago and never stopped until we reached a resolution.

So can I have it all? Full awakening and the pure illusion people I love?

Actually I just had another thought. You're asking me to fully allow myself to realize/actualize that I AM God and that I created EVERYTHING. I tried seriously doing this once and got scared.. just like you mentioned in one of your recent videos. You did this and got scared because you sensed that if you really allowed yourself to go there, you would leave this human experience and obliterate all the people you love. Is that not what would happen if I truly did this (even in a non-psychedelic induced state)? Kind of like Mahasamadhi?

I was all ready to reply to this and say "and there he goes again with another rebuttal.. and that's why I love him." But jfc you just blew my mind a little.. thank you. I'm gonna have to meditate on that a bit! It's interesting, your words YOU ARE GOD scared me a little. The implications of that actually being true are enormous (and yet I know intellectually it is true). So is it "I created X Y and Z"? Or "I AM X Y and Z"? (I figure the answer is "Yes")

Yea dude. Be grateful you live in a world with Leo's, or the powers that be, or anyone else that drives you up the wall. You couldn't be who you are today without them, and that's beautiful ❤️

Are you kidding? That dude was nuts. He had a lethal weapon out in the public and was preparing to fire it. That's exactly how I would hope the people would react. In India the people of the villages would self police their communities. If there was someone running around molesting their children, they wouldn't wait for the police to arrive (because there was none). They would beat the living shit out of that person and that was that. That's divine justice.

This is what the mainstream let's you see/debate. You want a deeper look, have at it: https://www.reddit.com/r/2020PoliceBrutality/

The U.S. as we know it is collapsing. 100%. Whether it gets replaced by a lesser or greater version of itself remains to be seen. That is up to the people. If it's left up to the powers that be.. well, you know how that goes.

Thanks for the Vox article. Interesting though, it was written before Trump's nation wide announcement: I'm not here to fight or argue with anyone. Truth is resonance. It's okay to admit things are bad. Worse than bad. We don't have to take sides on everything. Can we not all agree that things are messed up right now? And divine? And everything else? All at once?

IF you haven't seen this video yet, I highly suggest watching it. This is the direction we're heading (and have been for a long while now). This is not a police problem and it's not a Trump problem. This is an empire in it's dying stages: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bad_Cop_No_Donut/comments/gts8fh/please_make_this_go_viral_i_am_begging_you_police/ EDIT: Also, now this..

? Amen.
