Endangered-EGO

@Ilan I know, that's why I wrote it. The reason I don't teach people is because I think: "Am I so sure this is right, that I would tell my mother to do this stuff?" Would you guys recommend your mother/daughter to take 5-MeO-DMT knowing what can happen?

Leo talked about a positive reinforcement loop about satisfaction intensifying. The most important information is, Once you have reached access concentration in meditation, you need to put your concentration on pleasure, to enter the jhanas. It's necessary to max out concentration with pleasure) going through the jhanas to inquire reality with that intense concentration. I'm not really an expert in jhanas, but they are incredible and definitely worth giving it a try.

No, you're not a conscious agent. You're the consciousness of the thought being a conscious agent. No, you're not. You're the consciousness of the thought of being consciousness of the thought being a conscious agent. No, you're not. You're the consciousness of the thought of being consciousness of the thought of being consciousness of the thought being a conscious agent. Sorry, I felt I needed to post that strange-loopy meta-thinking about oneself anecdote.

@Consilience thank you.

@Leo Gura I absolutely hate his manners, but you have received the same criticism from your communitybefore, about solipsism, being in control of reality and healing/miracles. Some of us had the solipsism reality, however this isn't practical in this matrix. I don't know anybody who could heal themselve. You said it yourself. The moat enlightened person ramana maharahi died from cancer and didn't or couldn't do anything about it. In your video after your 30days 5meodmt retreat you said it's possible to create reality as you want and that healing and miracles are possible. You need to ejther own up to it, or correct what you said. You partially did that, saying: only the higher self can chose. But that means if the higher self doesn't want to, it won't happen, which is not different to mere realism with probability. Adeptus can't or won't articulate it like that. To me it seems like you both are projecting and borderline gaslighting each other. Don't feed adeptus trolling, directly correct what you said or soecify what you mean so it makes sense to your subscribers. I feel like you kind of indirectly hint that you've been a little bit off. But you never directly said:"I was wrong concerning this and this and this". You never corrected yourself, Ecen though you yourself said you were wring sometimes. Please be more clear about it. I would have pushed you to have a live confrontation with adeptus if he wasn't such a troll, and I am glad that you're willing to have a conversation with Curt Jaimungal. I would advise you to clarify or take back some things you say, and be honest about what happened. Just so people see, that your interpretation is not absolute truth. You say to control it with direct experience, but that's not enough imo.

@Consilience Do you have online ressources. Furthest I went was 4th.

@Kindle Jhanas are basically steps of meditation. You focus on breath, then on pleasure, then you have a cosmic orgasm, then equanimity, and then you get to experience nothingness infinity existence and non existence. In THAT state you have the strongest concentration possible. Now, if you ask the question "what is reality/Who am I" you'll get an answer (It's a metaphorical description of course) It's basically self inquiry with 100000 times more power.

That's not how you get people out of bubbles. Try ridiculing mohammed in front of a muslim, do you think he's going to change his mind? Or just hate you more? Ridicule Trump in front of his supporters. It's just alienation...

He has valid criticism, he's just being unpolite, edgy and demeaning about it. Probably for entertainment purposes. This guy beliefs Leo is afraid to be confronted by him, even though Leo is going to be in an interview with Curt Jaimungal. Ridiculous.

What's the ilness?

Nonono. You're the consciousness of those paragraphs! I'm getting childish now sorry. Last reply We both get what we are saying ?

@Thought Art You aren't the thought about the finger pointing either ?

@Giulio Bevilacqua Stop referring it as effortlessness, you don't want effortlessness, you want equanimity. When you drive on the highway, very relaxed, you are constantly focused on the road, but there's the equanimity that makes it seem more "effortless", than sitting in a waiting room. I wouldn't surrender in "doing" or "thinking" but surrender to control of doing or thinking. You can call it resistance. re-training the nervous system not to interact (graps or push away) with objects of awareness. I love Shinzen Young's mindfullness approach to that.

Apparently finding/creating/having meaning is essential. Of course after love. Love is obviously first for a "good life". One probably can't get too much of it. Apparently it's infinite, so that's a good thing.

I like his guided meditation, the induces the sense of self to let it go afterwards, not perfect but I like it. Do you guys have additional techniques to separate ego self from higher self.

@artcastle It started long time before. Kundalini feels like a snake of pire orgasm slowly crawling up the spine. When it moved through tense spots, I felt a burning sensation in my body. As if it pushed through the spine with force.

@puporing Most of us dont talk with our family about spirituality. It's just not worth it. Everybody has their beliefs. I have yet only met one friend who is interested in awakening, the rest just want to tell you you are livongin fantasies and tell you why you are wrong and they are right. Even thoigh you know a mild awakening would change their life. Even the first jhana is so crazy, I told everyone about it. Nobody gave it a try. So now I don't speak about it unless they are interested. I guess it's just something one needa tk get used to. You can hear Leo's frustration in his videos when he tries to teach people that "disagree" with him.

You're not a fucking human. You're not a human being. You're not a conscious sentient animal. You're not a biological machine. FFS, you're not a human. You(consciousness) know what you are since the day you werr born. Befkre thoughts. The thing that thinks it's doing stuff is thoughts. It's not you. You are not the thing the thoights tell you you are. You are not a Human, you are not the thoughts of consciousmess. You are consciousness. The consciousness that knows. Consciousness knows thoights. Thoights don't know consciousness. As a child, you already knew that you were consciousness. You know what you are, but the you that knows isn't thoughts. It's so fucking easy its absurd that we have to go through all of it to realise that we already know what we are. Yoi are not more in thoughts than you are in smell. You're none of it and you're all of it. You're not a human. You're not the thoughts about a human being. You're the consciousness of the thoughts that say something or picture something. You're the awareness of it. Think about you being a human. You're not what the thoughts explain. Your the awareness of the thoughts rambling some picture if reality. It's so close. You just need to think about what you are, until you realise you are the thinking. But you're not only the thinking. Your the awareness of thoughts, you're the awareness of in between thoughts. You're not onlythe awareness of thoughts, you're also the awareness of sight/hearing/feeling etc. It's so obvious that it's absurd. Your not the respresentation or the thought about consciousness, you're consciousness experiencing thought about Consciousness. Wake up. The thing that knows what you are already knows what it is. There's nothing to do. What are you. You always were awareness in everything. The you that knows already knows what you are. It's the same you that is there without self representation. Your are not a human. You are the awareness of the thought that has a picture of separateness of different sentient beings that have the body as a limit. You are awareness, not the thoughtabout awareness. It's so simple it's funny. How can I describe it better. You're not a human. You are awareness of the thought of being a human. You are awareness of the thought of being in a universe. You are awareness of the thought of being separate from thoughts about other separate entities. You already knew it the second you were born, you just couldn't articulate it because you didn't have any thoughts about "knowing things". The only thing you can be sure about 100% is what you are. The lights are on. Wake up. You're conscious. That's IT. That's you. The light of awareness is there and it's all you are. Yoi are also your ego, but you're not only your ego! You're the awareness of the information. You're not a fucking human. Wake up. A human is a thought, you're not a human. You are the light of awareness. You're the knowing of everything there is. There is smell/sound/taste/sight. You're the awareness/knowing of it. You already know it. The thoughts don't know it yet, but you, awareness/consciousness knows you're IT. Wake up, reread what I said let it sink it. The thing that knows already knows it. There's nothing to do. Rereread it. You're not human. What is human? Being Human is a thought. You know. I know that I know. I am that I am. You know that you know. Consciousness knows that it's conscious. And always has known. Nothing changes. It (You/I already know. You are the thing that knows that it knows. The you that knows always knew. What do you know for certain? Don't think. That's it, that's you. You are IT! There's nothing anything can do because the thing that knows already knows.

Rupert Spira. He said no object of consciousness can have an effect, but he clearly stated he had no experience so he cannot reallz say to much about it. Adyashanti said he had awakenings woth shrooms but he prefered the grounded ones. Shinzen young took lsd, but never mentioned if it had an effect on his psychospiritual development except for curiosity.

@SQAAD haha I wrote that just after the realisation. I had 1000 thoughts about it. But only now I get it. My thoughts are a pointer for future me, and for everyone here. I understand why Leo is so frustrated by us, because it's so obvious and we just look at the finger that's pointing towards the moon.

But that's what I and he meant. There's nothing TO time, there's just movements and it's relativity. That relativity+thought is what we call time.

@Leo Gura I'm going to rewatch that video. One of the best videos about enlightenment. Should be in a bible lol. From what I remember it's the I-am-ness facet I just experienced. Not the first awakening, but it's definitely ME.

I just rewatched Leo's video about inducing a God-realisation and it clicked. It's not that I am conscious of things happening. I am consciousness, period. In every experience I am the emptiness. I am the emptiness in the thoughts creating a difference between body and world. Creating a difference between what Is seen/heard/felt/thought. I am not the ego, I am the awareness/knowing/experience of (but not only) the ego. It's so weird, but it's so clear. I am just thinking about what I can do to remember, that I am that consciousness and not the ego, but I consciousness never did anything or could do anything. The I never changed. The thinking about me being consciousness is consciousness having a self representation of itself. I think it's funny that the ego has thoughts, that represents the I in terms of thoughts. I am smiling because of the absurdity in what the ego-mind has been doing. It cannot know anything. Thoughts can never know what it is. I understand that the I was always "enlightened". Nothing changed or could change. It's the unchanging that is me. I (ego) will probably continue to "observe" and realise that ego and thoughts are experiencED by the I. What practice can I do, to continue separating everything from the awareness of every-thing.

I know that "I am" with everything that I experience. So I let myself get absorbed by experience? Do you have any resources about "integration"? Best I have is adyashantis book, and Rupert Spira saying to "recognise awareness in very percept of awareness."

@Arcangelo What do I do now? Separate awareness from it's objects until I am swallowed by the singularity of consciousness?
