Thought Art

Well, two things come to mind.. When meditating you are training the mind to go beyond thoughts... So you are developing a new skill. And mindfulness is something you can bring into understanding these thoughts as you develop a more holistic set of practices. I really enjoy the headspace app which is what trained me to meditate for the first year and a half. I am back into meditating every morning and am so glad I made the investment into this practice years ago. I also do Qigong and am finding a balance between my practices as they synergies. Head Space

Nah man. I've watched pretty much all his content and have watched and listened to plenty of other teachers. Leo has his own styles, limitations and biases for sure. But, he is on the money. He even says reality is a mystery to itself.

Total Forgiveness

Yeah, he likely has a bit of spiritual Ego. But he also has blog posts and in his earlier God videos he says that what he is pointing to has been known for thousands of years. I think the problem is most modern spiritual teachers have not Groked this notion as deeply as Leo. I can't speak for anyone elses realizations but from what Leo is sharing...

I have also had this problem... I am studying conscious polyamory atm... Not that I necessarily want to be in a poly relationship I just want to begin to reprogram my mind that wants to own my partners. I want them to be free. I also want to accept that other men want to fuck them, and they may want to fuck other men and that is okay. I might want to fuck other women/men too but that doesn't mean we aren't a good partnership. Sex shouldn't be such a big deal. I don't want to own someone. I just would like honesty... Idk..

My favourite funny Leo Quote Atm... something like... "You don't know what God is unless you can see God in a Strip Club" ahaha

This is true. You can only Grok God through direct insight/ Awakening. 'The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao'

You know, I have heard Leo saying a few things that confused me like. 1. There is only one bubble 2. There are infinite bubbles 3. I don't have my own bubble 4. It's just you or it's just You (I can't tell) So, I sense even he is still integrating and coming to greater understanding. As well, still developing how best to communicate!

We are God speaking about ourself as we work toward some kind of consensus I think

Yes, that is fine. Yet you did make distinction between God and a human teaching. With that logic human teachings are God's teachings. But, I suspect you are speaking about your realizations through direct consciousness of God Realization? But will that teach me everything I need to know about spiritual sexual intimacy? I doubt it. So, I go for these other teachers. Who are me, part of myself God. Is God realization gonna teach me every stretch to remove all the accumulated excessive muscle tension from my body? No. I have to study things like Tao Yin, Yoga, and Qigong.

Let's see how I come to realize this as I progress. As of right now I suspect this is a sweeping over generalization. But, Let's see. Not that I doubt this is true of God (as I have experienced thus far this is clearly true) However, it seems for the rest of my life I will be a Human Avatar.

Or, you use all the practices at your disposal and stop making false lines between practices. You can do these substances which will skyrocket your growth and still have these other spiritual practices. I think they are all necessary to being conscious. It doesn't need to be state chasing. Which, by the sounds of it you are doing with your meditation anyway. Because if you are suffering... of course you are trying to change your state so its just foolish to condemn that. The peace, bliss and insights from 5meo have only bolstered and advanced my Qigong, journaling/contemplation and sitting practice. Both are still. young and as I progress I am very excited.

@Tim R I felt the same way. I mean, I think all spiritual teachings that are true converge to a peak. I've attended Tantric festivals with hundreds of spiritual teachers who teach in their own sub domain. There is not one teaching that will help you live a good spiritually mature life. Love you Leo, but be careful imo. You have your own biases, which is fine. Let's see how I feel as I awaken but there seems to be many aspects to spirituality that are important.

It depends if you mean me or you or which you/You. I have my own bubble of awareness.

Or do Friends are great But, don't expect a True friend other than your own heart imo... But yes, friends are a rich part of life as they come and go. Friends only exist to the extent you serve there selfish ego. If you displace that, they leave. ahaha

What of this psychedelics not being the only path? Isn't it true I can realize God consciousness but still need to read books to develop a greater understanding of reality. You need state and structure no?

Just learn to master the dream

I am afraid of being accused of things I didn't do, or canceled because I said something that offended people. Each time I see someone canceled in the media I have trigger and feel a tonne of fear. How should I go about getting over this fear? I don't feel like an offensive person and am pretty unity based in my thinking but still. Afraid of having my dreams ripped out of my hands.

Drugs are bad mmmkay

@GreenWoods I actually think Salvia really scared this person and they are in a survival response to psychedelics. Let's just leave it.

Yes. Let each of us see this a possibility in ourselves. I trust Martin Ball's opinion on these substances. They are pretty different. I am open minded to trying it if I am in a safe enough setting in the next 50 years. But, I don't wan to take any more risk than something like 5meo already has for the time being as a I mature. It's unwise in my opinion to try one substance and to discount all others. That is my opinion and I am done with this conversation. Good luck.

@impulse9 It's interesting for me to point out to others, that imo this is what doubling down on ignorance looks like. There is not one edge... I am open minded to trying salvia.. But, I've read works from people like Martin Ball who are very experienced in 5meo and salvia. He says 5meo is the crown Jewel and that salvia is (not only dangerous) but a low vibrational trip..

@GreenWoods It's very common for people to misuse Oneness. The mind has to over time, with feedback and direct experience and deliberate intention make finer distinctions in the face of seeming paradoxes. Especially as reality is meaningless, it's real tough to reconcile this stuff.

@impulse9 Well, that doesn't change anything from my perspective. Trying one substance and then saying none of the others work is just foolish. You can admit that right? It's okay and proper imo, to just say "I don't know" I am still learning myself. I have plenty of hours of different spiritual practices to pursue, books to read, things to contemplate. If I go around saying "none of this works" I wont get anywhere.
