@Leo Gura Hey Leo why is it that even though you know the average person stuck, and grasping onto their current egoic paradigm etc can't grasp these advanced insights about enlightenment do you still explain it to people like it's simple? This isn't a criticism, and in a way it is very simple, but do you not recall how much of a shock this information was when it came to you? Also how much time and effort (you and anyone) has to put into it to be able to experienitially grasp these kinds of things? And do you recall all of the cognitive dissonance and emotional toil one must go through that is extremely disorienting in order to really start to sorta grasp what Enlightenment is all about? It's like climbing a mountain and then telling everyone of the views from the top like they'll grasp what you see. I read your responses to people and it's just odd to me that you offer information that don't get me wrong I couldn't agree with more, but you must know the reasons why some people (and I mean this in the least critical way) have little to no desire to investigate what you're saying and in fact their main interest is to not do that and keep the tension by arguing to maintain the illusion. Knowing that because we truly mistake ourselves for the delusion of ego and all that conceptual junk and activity that takes place on this placeless place screen of awareness people really feel like their lives are threatened when you pierce their beliefs so casually. And I'm sure you know this, hahah, I learned it from you, I just don't get why you appear to disregard this when the topic is brought up by people who really think this whole thing takes place in the mind. I would think that you would try to tailor it to their level of understanding so that they actually might really consider it. Especially seeing how integral your understanding is of it. Although I'm asking Leo this question I welcome anyone to answer it. Take care -

@Leo Gura Hey Leo can you please make a video about how to enter a state of not-knowing. Of course I've read over it several times in Ralston's books but still more depth is helpful.- 20 replies

I didn't watch the video yet but man "he explains why realizing the Truth isn't worth it" sounds like a bold statement hahaha. And do what else instead? I do like the fact that it questioned my beliefs but it seems to me the entire meaning of life is to realize the Truth otherwise you'll just be completely neurotic and suffering. Of course I should really watch the video, and I'll look through it, I'm just wondering if you've considered that the allure to finding that kinda counterintuitive information that goes completely against what is generally accepted in this instance is exactly what your mind would LOVE for you to think. Consider what the focus of your life becomes after you believe that awakening isn't worth it. Seems a bit dubious. No criticisms here, just wondering if you're aware of that.- 15 replies
