What you do about blasphemy is a political issue. The death penalty is all politics man.

Yeah. Thanks for that blog post. It all makes sense now. I got it. Just because you awaken to reality doesn’t mean you can do calculus or understand politics because that is a relative domain. It’s like getting the Buddha to understand the rules of football. The Buddha may not get football, but that doesn’t discount his awakening.

Makes perfect sense now. Thanks! I still don’t think Trump could ever attain Enlightenment. I mean how can you say that you are Awakened when you go back doing the same stuff. Awakening should radically change how you live your life. You’re not just gonna go back to chop wood and carry water. That would mean that you haven’t fully realized and integrated the insight.

This is the part I don’t understand. How can you be awake if you don’t know how to embody basic critical thinking skills. God is supposed to be the most complex concept of all time, and to be able to understand God takes a high level of awareness and insight. Politics is at such a survival level and it is more relative in nature. I don’t see how awakening and development aren’t the same. The less one is developed, the more selfish they are, the more skewed their reality is. This person is more in alignment with the Devil than God. You mentioned it yourself sometime ago that the reason we don’t understand God is because of selfishness and how that distorts our understanding. I could be wrong but it seems like it takes an incredibly wise person to be able to understand God. It takes less intelligence to understand that Trump is a Devil. I know developmentally delayed people who were wise enough to see through Trump’s BS and vote for Kamala.

Who you vote for is a representation of your level of consciousness. You think Jesus or Gandhi would vote for Trump? Politics and spirituality are one as was proven with Gandhi movement. Look at any spiritual path and you will find politics. Jesus was killed because of politics. Think about that. No spirituality without politics.

You can apply for food stamps and government assistance. In the meantime, keep looking on Indeed. If it was me, I would perform magic tricks and guitar in the street for cash.

It is appalling how many people voted for Trump. We never learn from history. How could America choose Trump again is actually surprising to me despite all he’s done. One woman I talked to even said that Trump is not a convicted felon because “how could he even vote?” I responded with the fact that some states allow exceptions in some felony cases. People are so misinformed. You can be a felon and still vote and still be employed. My bigger point is that to even vote for Trump implies that you are seriously misinformed about something. You can never awaken if you vote for Trump because to even vote for him implies having an unawakened mind full of devilry and bias. No amount of meditation will awaken you. You can still vote for Trump regardless of how many times you count your breaths. Contemplation seems like a better method because at some point, you will reach the conclusion that the only reason people voted for Trump was for selfish reasons. They don’t really care about anything deeper than their own walled garden. Prove me wrong.

What is an expert? How do you know they aren’t deluded? Just because you are Einstein doesn’t mean you are deluded free. RFK is full of shit. Until you get that, you aren’t awake.

Alien consciousness?

I remember Leo talking about how meditation and nonduality is not awakening. But I am wondering if this is one of the 10% of the false teachings? I mean think about it, what is the alternative? Just scrolling on TikTok and YouTube!!? That will never get you awake. Or is the alternative to plug DMT every day? That's not realistic either. What I have come to conclusion of is that meditation is all about increasing your awareness to the actuality of reality. You can take all the DMT you want, but if you aren't grounded in the actuality of the present moment, no amount of psychedelics will awaken you. There are plenty of people who take psychedelics more than me and maybe more than Leo but who are not awake. I think maybe Leo made a nuanced point in that no method is the awakening in the same way that the map is not the territory. Meditation is not awakening. Psychedelics is not a awakening. Contemplation is not awakening. Because all of these are activities and is not the same as state. It is confusing doing with being. Awakening is a state of BEING in which certain things that you can DO may bring about that state of BEING/REALIZATION. But the activities of meditation and psychedelics are not realization/being themselves. I think this may be the point he was making. I don't think Leo is discouraging people from meditating, but rather he is challenging people who are engaging in meditation filled with human Buddhist ideological nonsense. I get it. Chanting the Hare Krishna mantra over and over again probably won't get you to awakening. Awakening is too profound for such a simple dumb method like chanting Hare Krishna (no offense). There can be many deluded methods of meditation and psychedelics (i.e., such as chanting a religious mantra). But there can be more profound ways of meditation that can bring about mystical experiences and maybe even enlightenment. But the effectiveness of such a method would vary across different individuals. I am convinced though that there is no awakening/enlightenment without serious contemplation. You can quiet your mind, but if you don't know how to use your mind to think in nuanced ways, to avoid bias, then how could you be awake? How can you be awake if you would still vote for Trump and hold a lot of deluded stuff in your mind? So my point is that the method is not awakening, but this does not mean to stop meditating. It means to examine closely what you are doing and to make sure that you are meditating in ways that actually transform your consciousness. There may be limits on what meditation can do for some people, but what is the alternative? We just gonna scroll on social media!? No! We still engage in meditation and contemplation, but we aim to improve at it little by little. Meditation may not lead to the deepest levels of reality, but it is a practice that will transform your life for the better if done correctly. Meditation is a better alternative than chasing after money, fame, sex even if it doesn't ultimately lead to the highest levels. But that is still a big question mark of whether meditation can lead to the deepest levels or not. I think it all depends on how effective you are. You cannot be effective if your mind still clings to Buddhist, Spiritual nondual beliefs/ideology. If one thing Buddhism teaches you, it is that clinging is the root of all ignorance/suffering. Buddhism taken to the extreme deconstructs itself.

Leo’s latest blog post on hummingbirds is quite insightful. I would suggest that spirituality is also seeing the God in the human as well. I find it easier to see the God in nature than I do the God in human. It is hard to see how corruption is God. But yet it is.

I wonder if this implies that there is an external world, meaning that reality isn’t just all that youre experiencing. For instance, there are many things you don’t experience right now that still exists. Consciousness can hide things from itself. If you think you have total access to reality, then you don’t get it. There are people who can see more color than you, can lift more than you. There are many things hidden. If you had total access to reality, then you couldn’t be human. This is what is meant by external world, that there are things hidden behind the scenes. Whether the substance is consciousness or matter doesn’t matter. It is the fact that you don’t have total access to reality. If you did, then like I said, you couldn’t be the human that you are. To be a human means your reality is limited.

How I see it is Love is Unity/Connection. Falsehood isn’t disconnected from Truth. I think the real question we need to ask is not what love is, but what falsehood is. Even a Trump support, no matter how deluded they are, they are still acting out of love.

Love is also falsehood as well. Why would love not include falsehood? Hence, existence is created.

I bought the pills but haven’t taken them and don’t think I will. I got more important things to worry about than my hair. I have been wearing a badass cowboy gat lately and it’s helped with my cold approaches. Men and women comment on my hat and it makes for a nice story.
