The natural awe and love we feel from beauty come from a deep recognition of God. Since God is all things, it includes aesthetic and every masterpiece. Absolute Beauty can indeed be found within these things just as it can be found within all things. However, people also tend to use aesthetics as a function of survival. For example, stage blue uses aesthetics to design churches and clergy uniforms to create a perception of holiness worthy of praise, worship, and faith. Stage orange will wear aesthetically pleasing outfits to make a good impression on people, or design aesthetically pleasing rooms and buildings to create an impression of professionalism, trust, or significance. Stage green may design an aesthetically pleasing healing center or therapy office to support client comfort and healing. Remember though, that even though we use beauty for survival, the essence of beauty cannot be separated from all that is. Hope this helps.

I was hoping you beautiful people could help me find a way to get accurate news. Social media seems like a poop flinging contest, and mainstream news is often myopic and focused on nonsense. I'm looking for major Global and U.S. news about politics, tech, physics, psychology, sociology, consciousness/spiritual science. What are your favorite sources? Thanks!

Last night, I intuitively did a visualization exercise where I imagined myself starting in a stage purple tribe, fully embodying my current imagined stage and it's values, living them out, realizing the limits of each stage, and evolving into the next stage. I did this for about an hour all the way through turquoise and spoke my thoughts out loud as if I was sort of explaining my thought process of justifying and eventually transcending each stage. When I was transitioning from yellow to turquoise and got a very intimate and emotional taste at the limits of mind activity and felt a deep desire to surrender to no mind. After spending a moment in stillness, a started to integrate turquoise thinking (this is all a miracle, there is no separation between this body and everything else, this is all a holographic creation from the infinite source, etc.) As I spoke these statements aloud I actually started to create a blissful spiritual experience. I pulled insight from previous enlightenment experiences and by pretending I was turquoise, I was actually able to embody turquoise for a while to at least some degree. I thought this was very valuable for me so I wanted to share it. If you're curious, give it a try! This practice transcends language and understanding because it is about direct experience rather than modeling.

That's a great point. Instincts and "primitive" survival are deeply intelligent. And my body at stage purple felt loose, natural, and animalistic, reminding me of almost a mild mushroom trip. I didn't look too deeply into body awareness, but that certainly seems worth doing for all of the stages so I will try it. I haven't noticed the increased profundity of rituals in my direct awareness yet but one thing I did notice was the increased profundity of relationships. It's like having this great big family and talking to them, loving them, and sharing with them is the ultimate joy! It was quite beautiful and applicable

@SirVladimir That's a great idea, I'll definitely try beige next time

Beautiful, thank you for sharing. Your insights were in perfect alignment with my previous experiences. Now for the fun part... Integration! Much love brother

I was blown away the first time I heard this song post-enlightenment experiences. Such a beautiful eloquent representation. Lyrics: Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Travelling in the world of my creation What we'll see will defy explanation If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Want to change the world? There's nothing to it There is no life I know To compare with pure imagination Living there you'll be free If you truly wish to be If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it Anything you want to, do it Want to change the world? There's nothing to it There is no life I know To compare with pure imagination Living there you'll be free If you truly wish to be

The ego is a web of concepts that we believe and identify with. All of the concepts that make it up are false distinctions that we have imagined. Because it is imaginary, the ego must continually deceive you in order to maintain itself. The ego lives through you when you unconsciously identify with it. I thought this simple explanation might help some people out there. I go into more depth in this video if you are interested. Much love!

Thank you!

Thank you! One of the most helpful resources I've found is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Ever time I listen to that book, I learn something new

As someone who struggles to stay consistent with my consciousness work (meditation, contemplation, kriya yoga, etc.), I thought it was very important to get in touch with the tangible benefits of expanding my consciousness. In this video, I explore how becoming more conscious can end inner conflict, negative self-talk, social anxiety, and negative core beliefs and how it helps you create amazing relationships, become a powerful creator, and experience levels of joy and love beyond anything words can explain. I hope this helps motivate someone! In the second video, I share the most powerful exercises that have helped me expand my consciousness including meditation, body awareness, and kriya yoga. I also explain the integrated meditation technique that I've been using to bring consciousness into all aspects of my life. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Love you all <3

A think a lot of these teachers do provide value. They won't necessarily help you reach deep levels of awakening like a hardcore teacher like Leo will, but they provide some valuable practical insights. Aaron Doughty talks a lot about LoA and raising your vibration. Both are powerful concepts when applied. I enjoy Victor Oddo's energy updates. They almost always resonate with me and I gain some valuable insights by watching. Aaron Abke is great a breaking down complicated text like The Law of One. Light on Earth shares unique and interesting non-dual insights. These people all seem genuine and I think they're helping a lot of people.

I have to agree with @Average Investor , that was some amazing advice! I shoot many of my videos like 10 times. I find that this not only makes my presentation better, but I actually learn valuable insights along the way. Teaching is one of the best ways that I learn. Congrats on your new channel, my friend!

For some reason, my intuition I telling me to tell you to totally surrender. Let yourself masturbate and watch as much porn as you want to with no judgement or guilt for a whole week. When you notice guilt, shame, self-criticism or despair, or whatever come up, be present with it. Feel into it fully. Show some compassion for yourself, as if you were showing compassion to a friend or child in pain. Love you <3

@Dutch guy @nistake Thank you both! That exercise looks wonderful. I'll definitely try it. And @nistake, your signature/tagline is glorious

This is a breakdown of my most recent enlightenment/awakening experience. I did include a bit of information from previous awakenings but all of the quotes come from one experience with 3g Penis Envy Magic Mushrooms. This was the most profound experience of my life and I would be happy to answer any questions you have! Please leave your thoughts below! I do want to point out that I made a wording mistake. When I mentioned "physical reality", I should have used "perception" or "experience". Much love!

Thank you, my friend, much love! And thank you for your extraordinary contribution to this community

While creating this video on lucid dreaming, I realized the striking parallels between lucid dreaming and awakening. I never fully realized the significance of lucid dreaming before. We can break our identification with form and become pure consciousness, capable of creating anything without limits in lucid dreaming. I would love to dive deeper into this topic if anyone has good resources they could share. Thank you. I love you all! <3

I love you, Leo. Thank you for being you.

i do this all the time. Such a powerful healing exercise <3

Hello everyone! with your help, I would love to create a collection of some of the most powerful shadow work exercises that you guys have stumbled across. Shadow work has been critical for integrating my awakenings. I wanted to share with you all the 10 most powerful healing exercises that I've ever tried, and I would love this thread to turn into a powerful resource for everyone on this path of healing and awakening. Much love!

I'm really struggling to integrate my most recent awakening to myself as God and infinite love and goodness, but this exercise is the most helpful thing to me at the moment. I would love to hear about your experiences with this exercise as well as any of your favorite meditations or similar exercises that accomplish the same goal of embodying love. Love you all!

I've been experiencing a massive shift in consciousness over the last 6 months, and especially the last few days. After the April 4th collective meditation, my third eye was throbbing and I had the deepest awakening of my life yesterday. A few other people I've talked to said they felt a major shift as well. I'm curious if you guys are feeling this as well. I provide more details in the video:

For me, shadow work has been key to integrating my awakening. For example, with my latest awakening, I become conscious of infinite Goodness and Love. I felt so unworthy of it that I physically started coughing up this feeling of unworthiness. It's having a ripple effect through all of my beliefs and it seems like shadow work is essential for awakening. It's all about turning fear into love, just like awakening is. So this video is sort of an introduction to shadow work from the perspective of awakening and healing. I didn't really start doing "real" shadow work until I had my first awakening. It seems like helping and awakening are two sides of the same coin. I would love to hear your perspectives on this topic. Thank you!

@Butters @Nahm Thank you guys
