As he said in the video, religions serve (major) social function as well as they point to that ultimate reality. But ofc no one religion holds the Truth. I would argue though that they do hold the lesser Truth if you equate it with the relief from suffering (mental, emotional, physical, financial etc), more importantly from despair and anguish of the soul that you feel when you become terrifyingly alone. So alone that reality disintegrates and you are spiralling into eternal madness with no hope ever that you would return normal, Im sure Leo knows that experience (probably times 100x). Religions have that support structure that can take you out of that despair. And lets be honest, if you are suffering really, really bad, all you want is relief and you would hold to anything, believe in anything (even in a lie) if that would alleviate it. So lies are important, they can easily become truth under right circumstances. Truth is relative (and always present, hello).

When I read his new post on Intelligence it was like reading a gospel of the good news. For the past years I am/was in dark place and recently started to journal my thoughts to make sense of this new life. I was also writing similar things like need to aligning my little intelligence/heart with the Universal Intelligence/Heart to feel more flow and connection, not worrying if my decision was correct or not, but to simple act out of spontaneity which seems to be the most intelligence act.

People naturally want to grow and expand, it is hard wired in us, no matter the economical situation, but how it is going to look like might not be in accords with your definition of 'mature'. We can grow in infinite ways, directions. And money certainly helps you to get that support.

@Leo Gura I think, generally speaking on average, people born in wealthy families have more chances for self development. Cause it's those early years that are most important that sets you for life, when you're still pretty unconscious and are very dependent on others. If you have sheltered life, you can grow more easily, rapidly, healthy. If you're born in dysfunctional family system, life will stunt your growth and many protection mechanisms will have to develop. And good look unravelling those in your adolescence!

shit, that must be intense! Whatever works for you, just trying to help ^^

When everything has gone to hell, surrender to the Father as Christ did. Would be good idea to hold cross or some holly item near you to ground you to the light side. You could also pray "Our Father".

I wonder what is that thing within that keeps me away from forming relationships, especially romantic ones, involving having a girlfriend. Would that be a distractions from focusing on God or the fact that i am searching for something authentic and can not find it outside, thus i choose to stay alone in contemplation. And yet, cant live without human connection, many times i have prayed to God for death (forgetting), but here i am, that thing that can't die. Maybe if I become authentic enough I would feel that the connections that i am creating with others are authentic too, and then i would not be so alone. True connections, i guess is what i desire, and for that the soul has to be purified by loneliness.

Indeed. Tried to find happiness by disconnecting with every human being, didn't work. Suffering deep despair, as last resort went to church and cried, talked with the priest and it helped me to feel much better, also the church lady is checking one me from time to time, so that seems to be enough to make me feel like i'm part of the group. Humans need other humans, to survive.

The truth is men don't date women, they don't even talk to them, sex is a sin and the only way to stay true to yourself is to live in celibacy. Forget about women and take care of cats (if you have any).

When you're really aware its hard to bullshit yourself..

Why would you want to perform the miracles then? Just to prove to yourself that its possible?

But when you are in the DMT lvls you dont care about any achievments or miracles, only ego cares. If ego could create miracles this reality would be less than perfect, its because you cant do miracles is why this reality is so amazing and you want to return to it when tripping, otherwise it can turn to hell. Being able to perform miracles would be too much and not in alignment with beauty. But i can imagine if you grow yourself to such a lvl where nothing really matters to you be hell or heaven then maybe it wouldnt be so problematic.

Nice!

just trust Life and do the best thing at the moment whatever that is to you

All i can do is laugh
