@Breakingthewall sure if you win few thousands dollars and go vacationing in Hawaii or Paris and have fun you will experience pleasure and happiness. Stop using silly strawmans What’s being said is no quantity of this ilk of happiness is going to make you feel really happy deep down . You will still overthink about your death late at night .

@Breakingthewall your comment is strange and vague . I don’t see the direct connection between your comment and what I’m saying . Maybe you misunderstood what’s being said .

yes everything in this universe happens through mechanisms and cause and effect . I’m speaking about the creation of anything from scratch ..how does that work? In a simplistic sense how would god create anything from scratch ? Does he needs a mechanism ? Why should an all powerful being have to put in any effort to accomplish a project ? He just says be and it is . If this sounds too good to be true it’s a you problem. If you contemplate how reality gets itself off the ground that’s the only logical explanation. The only alternative would be that existence miraculously jumped out of no existence without anything and Also without mechanisms…seems like the same thing still .

@Ulax i know enlightened people who don’t dream at night AT All. What do you see in your dreams ? You see familiar faces ..you don’t see the Pyramids in Giza .

You can stop dreaming any nightmares forever if you realize you create your dreams and become experienced in lucid dreaming and only have joyful dreams .

Wait tell a demon rapes you in a dream lol

Boy talking about nightmares? I purposely watch incredible eyesore horror movies right before bed time to purposely induce nightmares. I don’t recommend it . You will likely dream about what you see in the movie . When I was younger I learned how to lucid dream so I started inducing erotic dreams and had such mind blowing experiences and orgasms . The reason I induce nightmares is obviously not to cause myself suffering.. but to free myself from suffering. When you realize that the dream world is a projection of your own mind you start to really get it that there is not that much difference in the waking world. You dream the waking world as well . Otherwise where would it arise from ? If you examine it arises exactly from inside you outwards . Isn’t it ? In deep sleep there is “nothing “ in the traditional sense then out of that inner space the world bulges outwards . Not the opposite.

I don’t think you’re understanding what I mean. I’m not talking about some sci-fi mechanism or some Cartoon for kids .The very existence of reality is grounded in God’s will. Creation happens because God wills it ..just like that. If you want its like God snapping His fingers and whatever He wills instantly comes into existence. That’s what omnipotence means: unlimited power. God doesn’t need a process or technology or a mechanism to create. The Quran expresses this perfectly: “When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” What Leo seems to be suggesting is that after creating the universe ..God somehow became limited and lost access to His omnipotence or became trapped within His own creation. To me that’s like saying God created the world then misplaced the source of His power and forgot how to access it. But if God is truly omnipotent that makes no sense. Omnipotence isn’t a tool that can be lost or taken away. It’s God’s very nature . He said before that on certain psychedelic trip he realized what I’m describing now . The question is why did you return to limited consciousness instead of staying in omnipotence mode ? He usually gives a waffle answer to this that if you reach this state of consciousness you stop caring about your egoic desires and you see that all you want isn’t sex or money or drugs ..but just infinite union and consciousness and metaphysical love .

Thank you so much . She finished the operation successfully and she regained consciousness and she will be fine soon.

I had this insight and I would like to share . Religion describes hell in the afterlife as the destiny for people who fucked up in this life or were evildoers as a moral lecturing and a call of waking up to the reality of death . my mom had a heart attack and she is undergoing surgery. She was crying in my last talk to her before the surgery. The way it works is they basically cut through the breastbone to work on the heart . Obviously they have to make her take full body binge. She is very afraid. I wondered why . She has firm faith in god in her own unique style of those elderly people who have that detachment from this life and have that glow of unexplainable peace on their faces ..like a lot of deeply religious and faithful old people. But when the real time came for something serious like this she lost her peace and she is full of fear . And I would imagine that no matter how grounded you think you are ..you will freak out completely if your life is threatened by death or serious illness or deep deep deep suffering and turmoil. Please take some minutes and contemplate your death . I’m not trying to make you depressed or causing existential crisis for you but death is a simple fact of life . All living creatures must die . This human being you are currently identifying as is going to die one day . And it seems to me that this doesn’t click well for us precisely because it’s sooo shocking to believe. We know it mentally but we don’t want to consider contemplating it for real because it causes insane levels of fear and existential dread . so the insight I had is why in some religious contexts they describe burning in hell fire after death as a punishment for ..you know..”sinners” and those who lack faith in god . . It’s the only way to shake you awake . The Buddha has said that suffering..diseases and illnesses..old age ..and finally death are all inevitable facts of life and therefore that means this life is really not the highest form or highest quality of beingness that our souls aspire to . It’s actually very gross and exhausting. I’m not saying there is no joy or peace at all in this world but it’s certainly a mixture of joy and sadness. to get to the point ..certain religions make you afraid of hell in the after life to make you think about your death moments when you have to leave this body and experience (perhaps ) tremendous pain and most importantly the moment that comes after you die completely and face the unknown . They fill that “unknown “ with hell to nudge you to contemplate your death seriously and consider your life and wonder about it all .

Thanks for clarifying that was insightful.

Dude what ?! Why would you want to be part of corruption? You and your friend are causing noise lately in accusing Leo of corruption. Why are you pussyfooting around it ? Ok case closed this is a cult in your mind then keep it to yourself. It obviously hurts Leo and people who look forward to him as a teacher to hear your constant bitching about how he did this and that in the past . Sounds like you are not even serious about you’re doing on top of that because you’re afraid to leverage up your position to just say farewell. If that’s not the purpose then what’s the purpose of what your doing regarding your posts about actualized being a cult ?

@Carl-Richard childish and pathetic. Notice that I didn’t argue against the cult accusation because it’s so ridiculous to even consider this community Is a cult . You wholeheartedly believe this is a cult organization and Leo’s work in its core isn’t about anything beneficial for personal development or spiritual growth? If the answer is actually yes then just leave .

I don’t see the point of the passion certain people on this thread are conjuring up links and data to accuse Leo of being a cult leader as if they are collecting data against someone who raped their daughter or something. This is a casual forum there is no serious or actual cultish activity happening here . Banning people or being the number one authority is not so pleasurable but come on you are obviously not going to boss him in his place .If you truly think this place is a cult why don’t you just shut the fuck up and log out and never again come back ? That’s number one . number two. Yes Leo is a weirdo sometimes he does come off cultish . Like “I’m the only person who understands god in all space and time ever never and nobody can stop me from conquering the world “ , good lord . But here’s the thing you can just utilize the parts the resonate with you in the forum and avoid all this unnecessary confusion. This is honestly one of the most beautiful communities you can be part of . Leo has dialed down a lot on his arrogance and he sounds so casual and down to earth these days . He didn’t change his radical views about awakening and what it means but he surrendered a lot of his arrogance.

Maybe .that's reasonable perspective to have .

Let me ask you this : what gives life to things ? What is life exactly? I guess I’m asking what is consciousness? You think the self of a living being is more real than the self of inanimate objects or just more complex?

God created by “be ! And it is “. An omnipotent entity can create anything it wants just by willing it into existence directly effortlessly . It doesn’t need to create through mechanisms. You’ve talked about reaching this state in your video “an advanced explanation of god realization “ . Is this realization dependent on the substance? I think that’s the question being asked . If you reached that state it’s hard to make a case for why you returned to this realm .

It’s relative right . The separation between the sun and the moon is not absolute. Meaning it could be interpreted as they are separated by distance and occupying different positions in space or as they are united because the matter that divides them and the gases is like a spectrum . Like two waves in the ocean. They look like separate things..But if you look deeper they’re both just movements of the same water. The waves have different shapes and locations.. yet they aren’t truly separate from the ocean that creates them or from each other.

But you actually know that the natural numbers are endless and that if you were to attempt counting them up it would never end ..how is this known without ever actually reaching the end ? infinity is only known implicitly. You can’t ever fully comprehend infinity explicitly. You are totally right but you misunderstand the why’s of it . The whys of it is that infinity by being infinity cannnot be contained in finite knowledge. Like a book or a theory or a lecture or an insight . Obviously nobody knows infinity or all of reality . Again You seem to assume that this means there is some sort of bug in the logic or it contradicts itself but I don’t see any reason to think that.

“Being aware of being “implies separation between a subject and object . Any boundary or separation cannot be real because the dividing line between any two forms must melt and collapse into unity . Is there an absolute separation between the sun and the moon?

I rate you 1/8 in this particular photo .

@Breakingthewall No self just means no separate self . You don’t exist as an entity on your own separate from the rest of the universe . Obviously I don’t need to explain because it’s easy to understand .

This is not a mistake . That’s how it should be . Infinity by definition has no end . The fact that you can’t count up to infinity only confirms its definition..for if you ever reach the end it would be finite . Just by counting up 1..2..3…4……etc you can implicitly conclude that the natural numbers are infinite . You don’t need to explicitly count them “all” because there isn’t an “all” because again it’s infinite .

I don’t actually find men sexually attractive . It was just some curiosity to explore gay porn because I almost finished straight porn. lol I can recognize a handsome dude and stare at him for a bit and admire his beauty just as I admire a beautiful lady .. but I don’t actually want to sleep with him . I find that gross.

Yes they play against Morocco. That’s a big game . Morocco is really strong . Looking forward for this match .
