Great informative analysis video on Trump/Republicans One Big Beautiful (Bullshit) Bill:

No religions or New Age spiritual paths has this as an explicit aim. Which is fine- there are truths in religion and New Age but it helps to crest a hard distinction between those and Consciousness work (Actualized, Ralston)-two totally different things. What helps me is separating spiritual work that is belief based (which most humans subscribe to) vs. direct consciousness/participatory/experiential based-which is grounded in metaphysics, epistemology, contemplation and deconstructing illusions, fantasies and biases. There are many tools and practices to do this-a lot covered in Leo’s content. I also find the most religious and new age paths are more about feeling good in your body and emotions (healthy versions). Yet although it is healthy, it isn’t Truth — which transcends the need for good emotions, body and relationships. Survival can be healthy and unhealthy.. but it’s still survival. A big mistake or religions and new age is conflating what is good and healthy for survival with Truth. Great video by Peter Ralston which summarizes this dynamic well:

Backwards- What you call reality is an arising in Consciousness (Gods Mind). Better yet- Reality is Consciousness, Reality is God’s mind. Either you are directly conscious of this or not. Unfortunately there is no in between.

You seem hell bent on this particular argument. Until you let it go- you won’t get it. Consciousness is conscious of itself. There can be nothing outside of Consciousness because it’s all that exists. There is NO reality without Consciousness .. Reality IS Consciousness. Your mind is addicted to going in constant loops over and over. It’s fearful of there being an ultimate ontological tautology in understanding absolutely everything about reality and existence. A good exercise would be to contemplate why that is the case. Consciousness is fundamental-you can’t escape it no matter how hard your mind tries.

@Leo Gura it was a bold move to pivot your work to focusing more on the epistemic perversion of humankind and revealing its darkest secrets. I imagine you anticipated some kind of backlash from your followers, I personally think it was well worth it- I don’t think any of us saw it coming, this raw and direct at least (as of late). No more softballs from Leo- every time I see a forum or blog post from you I brace for impact—it’s a gut punch oof 😓

@Leo Gura is it too controversial to state that one’s capacity to realize God is primarily genetic? Be it through personality, innate intelligence or strong mental health which is not inherent in all humans? How much of it can be developed vs exclusive to personality traits? I feel like this topic is danced around on the forum, to deal with the reality that your highest teachings can only be realized through proper genetics doesn’t sit well for us who value equality in spiritual matters- but the truth is truth I guess. Would like to know what your position is here .. as I’m unclear

This is a what I appreciate the most about your work. Zen Buddhist need LOVE too though .. maybe you can give them a discount on your book.

Hmm .. Leo’s book sprinkled with some 5 Meo DMT seems like a potent mix for spiritual progress then . A recipe for God

@Leo Gura You mentioned in a previous blog post the importance of state in Awakening, and how more theory is useless from a certain state of consciousness. Im inclined to think a book leans more on theory than state itself, although theory is foundational in adding essential context to those who have had Awakenings. How will you incorporate this into your book so that readers don’t swim too much in theory, or believe they have grasps something when they have not had a genuine state change? I’d imagine some form of disclaimer or adding a chapter highlighting the limitations of the book / books in general in realizing God. Good luck, looking forward to what comes next.

Glad Leo is posting Soft White Underbelly videos on blog, there is some good content there. Seems like the interviewer (who is normally balanced, open minded) was giving off real manosphere-ideological vibes towards the end- being over critical of porn and its effect on men .. wish Addison pushed back more on that ..

I tortured myself long enough only to realize that torture itself is an illusion, it was time to let it go at that point

Accurate- I find there is a subtle difference between acknowledging truth in such metaphors and references vs. building a belief system from them. It’s not talked about enough in spiritual circles

How much does this really limit Sadghuru? Seems your work in comparison is more centered on deconstruction of cultural programming and bias to reach higher orders of Consciousness & understanding.

Is this the case for all of your human relationships?

Another good reaction video-

Yes please

Going thru content now! I'm behind .. thanks for the frequent post (supplements the full episodes well).

Presenting a product or service in its best possible rendition in an effort to lure in impressionable consumers to milk profit from.

How do your structure your retreats? Any setting of intention .. also how do you measure progress from them?

Direct experience of God thru teachings of Christ .. .. is not the same as becoming directly conscious that you are God .. imagining the teachings of Christ

i don't see any resemblance -- Actualized.org helped me awaken to the truth that Christianity and Jesus are socially constructed

From highest to lowest I would think: 1. God realized - non animal 2. God realized - animal 3. Non Realized - non animal 4. Non realized - animal

Just finished it- thought it was pretty good. I like the fluidity and continuous spontaneity- it’s almost like a stream of consciousness-how random each of the scenes are while at the same time intertwining with one another. Certain scenes had an almost psychedelic feel to it- certain glimpses into insanity. What struck me was that we’ve all been there where Nicholas Cages character wasn’t having anything go his way, humiliated constantly and on the brink of rock bottom/suicide- but yet it someone all works out in the end

Ontologi......cide ! Ontologicide- subscribing to scientistic/materialistic ways of thinking that utterly destroy any possibility of understanding ontological structure of reality. "Ex: Studies show anywhere between 300-500K scientist a year commit ontologicide- a global epidemic that only God himself can fix."

Ontologidiot (Ontolog-idiot) Define what your word means and what it does not mean. A person who's ignorant about the ontological structure of reality Does not mean this is an adjective to describe a state of mind that is incurable. Give a few examples of how the word can be used. Mr. Krass (science teacher) is such an ontologidiot at times, he can't help himself Actualized.org has reformed many ontologidiots over the years, me included Explain why this new concept is meaningful, important, or useful. Idiots lack intelligence, true Intelligence points to being able to grasps ontological nature of reality Fun term, non serious, playful
