Someone here

In a very clear sense, I have come to see the apparent character I appear as in the world as something being moved by a force beyond its own understanding. It is as though I am watching a life unfold through this body, yet the ultimate source of the movement remains unknown to me. I experience myself as someone who thinks and makes decisions but beneath all of this , how much of what I call my life is actually authored by me? And how much of it is simply unfolding through me according to power I don’t fully comprehend? We call that unknown force God. I do not necessarily mean God in the conventional religious sense, with all the human interpretations that have accumulated around the word. I mean the unknown reality behind existence, the source or governing principle to which the entire movement of life ultimately belongs .I call it unknown and even unknowable. No body knows what that is. Because that’s its very nature . It can’t be known because knowing implies a distinction between the knower and the known but let’s put that aside for now .I do not claim to understand its nature or its intentions .In fact, mystery is precisely what makes the question so profound. I am not pretending to know what this force is but rather I am questioning whether the individual human being has ever possessed the slightest little ounce of control over his or her own life. And strike it out NO. It’s all being done by god or the unknown force . people, me included , don’t like this idea and they will dance around it with million excuses for why we should not live our lives or act from that perspective because it’s impractical and a little bit nihilistic. But here is where we have to draw a distinction between truth and practicality. It’s true but impractical. And realizing it as true won’t make our lives more or less functional because it is already the case whether we realize it or not . But actually it will make us more relaxed and live life with such ease and peace because we are fully aware that our lives are like a dream where the unknown force is orchestrating our lives and we don’t know what is happening to us in a moment from now and that can help us live with less stress and anxiety. i will add more but that’s what occurs to me at this moment. But this is an important topic to me .

Anyone who’s ever achieved anything worthwhile in their life understands the value of discipline. Stop kidding yourself .

Ok so nobody understands anything but you. We’re wrong and you are right . Therefore you should call us names ? Does that even happen in kindergarten?

But that’s just being sexist . Suppose I’m a chick .. why should having a pussy rather than a penis be inferior? Is a pussy inferior to a penis inherently? How exactly is a body organ an insult ?

Yeah no hope . Carry on .

@James123 you’re just saying it’s all equal . So apply it to your own meaningless nihilism which cancels itself out . Try to learn from him . You sure as fuck he knows this shit better than you then take a breath and try to understand for once my dude and don’t you dare respond with I expect you to respond .

say that again .

@Ulax he had no mercy for Madrid players . Such a nightmare lol . roll the dice. I expect Barcelona to win but the game is not gonna turn into a circus like that one because of aboveboard mentioned reasons . Cheers.

@Ulax Your pfp lol . Mourinho . His first ever El-Classico he lost 5-0 . But it was explainable because that Barca squad was the best team ever . There is actually a return to the Camp Nou today . do you know what I’m saying? Lol

I don’t know . Everyone wants their culture to be the best. A shithole is more appropriate to call Cambodia or Afghanistan . If you take a Random member off the streets there and send him to Las Vegas, London , Paris etc he will have a cultural shock and die . Try to appreciate the diversity of reality . You could explore the animal kingdom forever basically and that’s just one subset . Open your mind .

@Atb210201 dude stop this nonsense. You’re obviously fully aware of the light years distance regarding sexuality and sexual freedom between the west and Middle East . Stop moralizing about it .

It depends upon what kind of enlightenment you are seeking. Because Leo teaches a long list of different realizations.For the realization of no-self , just self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharashi . There are numerous resources on it online . Just google it . For things more complex like realizing how your mind is imagining your life like a dream , there needs to be some psychedelic experience along with deconstructing your every last drop of preconceived ideas about what reality ought to be . Personally I don’t like to fuck with these domains because most people misinterpret their trips and draw conclusions based upon their experience. We are barely beginning to understand how the brain functions to be able to understand how these chemicals affect our consciousness so don’t lose yourself too much . But that’s generally seems to be the suggestion for attaining what Leo called God-Realization. But for peace of mind and awareness , just meditating really . Watch Leo’s earlier videos on enlightenment and meditation.

@Vido keep it up . This is a step in the right direction . I hope this community develops more and more.

Interview Leo . I’d love to hear him answer some truly important questions, like: At what point does a person become so conscious that their entire conscious field becomes infinitely conscious and infinitely meta ?

find the actual ground of life / existence and that is the ground of you . Because you can’t find ground in basically anything that changes or moves like people, emotions , thoughts, life purpose, religious beliefs, life itself as a whole etc . So what is the only thing which never changes? Ground yourself in that . Otherwise you’re just using some form of escapism or self-deception.
