@Leo Gura troll alert.

Noted. Yes, I am conscious of this. Infinite creativity is the fundamental attribute of Consciousness. Self design includes that of my body-mind, but also everything in existence!

Thought to share these insights with the forum .. The ability to see Oneness in your present experience. This means you have broken down all distinctions between all aspects of reality, and have deeply realized that all distinctions are imaginary. Seeing science for what it is...concept. If you are still loyal to various scientific theories and models, that you deem responsible for explaining reality/existence, then you are not awakened. One must have realized that Truth is prior to science, and all other concepts (religion included). Realizing that you are not a human. Your physical body and thoughts are simply an appearance in reality, just like everything else. By appearance in reality, I mean an appearance in God's dream. Building on point #3, further realizing that not only is all of reality an appearance in God's dream, but going deeper to find out that you are God. Other terms can be used such has: Love, Consciousness, Infinity, the Divine to name a few. The term doesn't matter in the end, the essence of your nature is what counts. Understanding that solipsism is false in a relative domain, but true in an Absolute domain. Meaning, relatively speaking, there are many perspectives occurring at once..science says these perspectives are happening in the human brain..therefore each perspective in unique to each human. When you awaken, you realize that God (or you) is actually dreaming up each of these perspectives...therefore in a solipsistic state. Dissolving all fear, including the fear of death. It doesn't matter what happens after the human body-mind dies, you as God will continue to manifest conscious states. Whether it's some state of cessation, or a re-birth in another time/place...your imagination never ceases. Thus you are immortal. Understanding that the human does indeed have free will, but this free will is granted by God. It's free in the human mind, but it can be revoked by the will of God at any time by simply un-imagining the human when it wants.

Thanks for the feedback, it's been a gut wrenching process to obtain these insights..appreciate the help along the way. Yes yes, Oneness is Love.

I don't buy that, surely you knew something.

Wait, what? Are you saying neuroscience has discovered the mystery of free will? This couldn't be further from the case.

What if she cheated? Just throwing a hypothetical to test your love limits

One can also release the idea of not needing to be better. Everything is Love from the Absolute perspective, including the need to be better. Acceptance and compassion towards all aspects of Being is key.

Sounds like you're asking what you should take at the club. In that case, it would recreational, which is not the most healthy way to do drugs (if you seek personal development). Alcohol is terrible for personal development, but does work for getting drunk at the club and having fun. Psychedelics can be recreational and used for personal development.

You should not deny your desire for a gf. There's nothing that says you can't pursue an LP and a relationship / great sex life at the same time., Even if you're full scale on your LP, you will still be unfulfilled in this area.

Will the Taliban eventually fall to something more conscious?

I agree, it may not be totally on you...but there were moment of selfishness that refuse to be brought to light. This all happens through projection of course. You are unique in this, you must have a very healthy internal state. Sometimes this is so, but is it possible to appreciate/love them for what they taught us? Yes, it is love...but a low form. Ego wants love to serve it, and it alone. A higher love is to be one of service, even if that means gracefully ending things with no resentment or attachments.

So true, it takes tremendous courage to bring these kinds of insights to common folk.

Sounds like Leo bashing, honestly lol

Haha this is funny, but it sounds bias. One thing that really sucks about Trump's administration is that the President was so damn polarizing (for both the left and the right), that people would much rather prefer to focus on either worshipping or trashing him, rather than to talk bipartisan policy / systemic changes.

Beautiful <3 This! You are spot on, being self-less and forgiving towards our ex is the last thing we want to do after breakup. Nonetheless, the more self-less we are, the quicker we heal. Like age old adage says; holding a grudge is like drinking poison, and expecting the other to die. </3

Hmm..I see. Would a more progressive approach be something along the lines of not only gradually removing troops, but also some kind initiative in place that helps Afghans rise up the spiral / level of cognitive development? Maybe safety nets for women? Of course Republicans would never let something like this happen lol.

@Leo Gura That's fair. And yes, his straw-manning of the infinite nature of consciousness was quite cringe-worthy. But this stuff is complicated, and takes time to fully realize. Both of you gents did a wonderful job! Looking forward to pt2.

I see...and I agree! I totally give Curt credit for keeping his mind open whilst being challenged on his metaphysics. Let's just say Leo knows how to ask all the right questions . I wouldn't call it pushing buttons, but he does a great job anticipating materialist counterpoints, specifically related to proof and evidence of Truth.

That's also relative to one's interpretation. I'm not criticizing you here, you are entitled to feel this way about his ideas.

Haha, yea that moment in the podcast was what I was exactly referring to lol.

@Dryas It's definitely understandable, I don't know if I would call it good in all cases, especially if it's rooted in closed mindedness. This, of course, is not the case with Curt. There's value in being skeptical about our skepticism. Leo is an intense person, and hits you with insights in a very raw way. Most folks would crumble and not be able to withstand it; I do give Curt credit for hanging in there, even if he offered up some push back here and there.

@Tim R Yes, he was definitely open minded. Not refuting that, but there were moments of triggering or at least some form of skepticism when it came to hard points on God-realization. For example, Curt was really persistent in denying the infinite nature of consciousness during the first half of the podcast. He'd even cut Leo off mid-explanation saying "I get it"..in an irritated tone. I do think he opened up a bit as the discussion went on, but it didn't start that way. Curt wasn't completely shut off from Truth, I'm just pointing to how uncomfortable it can be..even for the most open minded among us.

Hmm...I would say one's thoughts on Leo's delivery is subjective. You may think he's confrontative, others (like me) may find it authentic. Agreed, but it's really easy to confuse what you call blind faith with true open-mindedness. The ego can trick us in this way, especially if it's deep in materialism.

@Frenk I agree. Curt was able to maintain an open ear whilst being triggered, and I am sure that was difficult. Not to say we shouldn’t sympathize, but it’s amazing how irritable the truth can be to human psyches.
