4. Enlightenment or bust

Why does self need to be consistent and strong? The paradox is in letting go of this need, the self is a at peace. Peace is ultimately what we are looking for in this human life.

I sense you want this in an effort to humanize Leo. Why does your ego need this? This work is about us, not him.

@Dazgwny lol yea I get it. I’m also semi addicted to his channel.

Sounds like you want to connect with others, but might be crippled by social anxiety. Explore the fear by putting yourself in social situations and connecting with other humans. To suppress your urges by resisting them with a self righteous attitude is bad for your mental, physical and emotional health.

@Dazgwny Leo has you hooked like drugs lol

This isn’t about me. It’s about you recognizing that in your personal experience, there is no difference between your dreams and what you call “reality”. You are imagining that distinction.

Falsehood. You are stuck in your own mind. Free yourself by realizing there are no distinctions between the two, nor anything else.

@charlie cho men should emote feelings by first deconstructing the myth that emotions are not manly. This idea is culturally programmed and quite toxic.

It’s ok to be attached. Just know it will continue to lead to suffering in your life. You can live in comfort while the suffering consumes you (and it will), or you can face your fear and come out of the other side in permanent state of bliss. This path requires you to choose one or the other. There is no judgement in your choice..only Love.

@HypnoticMagician have you even tried psychedelics yourself? If not, I don’t believe that your are qualified to speak about them. It’s like telling someone not to have sex and that sex is bad, when you’ve never actually had sex to get referential experience. and no one “must” do anything. That’s delusional and moralistic

Has anyone else experience this while doing spiritual work? I notice that deconstructing the act of thinking can feel uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time. It's like I am losing my footing in reality. When I don't project thoughts on reality, it's like I become a gust of wind..going in whatever direction the Earth wants me to go. Anxiety can stem from not wanting to let go of control. It feels good, but can be scary at times. I'm working on getting more and more comfortable with it - there's a science (or art) to going with the flow in life. However, I have realized how attached I am to my thoughts about the future and the past..there is comfort there. The challenge is getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. Thanks.

Conquering fear and coming out of the other end a better person. In other words, the process of growing.

Yes..a different kind of vertigo for certain

Feeling immense gratitude this morning. To describe it would almost be a dis-service. I feel at home, I understand now that this is really the only thing that we desire in this thing called life, the feeling of being home. The journey is complete once we recognize that home is here and now, that we have always been home. We have had the keys to the kingdom of Heaven for eternity, but generations of survival required for human flourishing has distorted our perceptions, and moved us further away from Truth. Nothing that we do in life, materially speaking, will satisfy God's desire to come home. But once you do come home, you are there forever

Agreed. Thoughts provide meaning to raw sensations that arises in consciousness. The ego can’t live without a box to put these sensations in. great analogy

@Moksha thank you for your wisdom ?? . This is beyond helpful.

Great list, I would add '11. Live Your Truth'.. and allow others to do the same

Everything in life is meant. And you are in control of its meaning. Therefore if you want it to be coincidental, you have the freedom in constructing that. Infinite freedom of mind is all there is.

So true.

You are not ready to receive the blessing of Truth. You deserve forgiveness regardless. I wish you all the best in these matters.

The body is pure fiction as well. Something that isn’t real can’t die because it never lived. The ego says it does..but that’s the bullshit we tell ourselves. The only real thing is consciousness, and it’s infinite…everlasting.

Saying no to counterproductive things. (Ie. discipline)

Nice
