A long time ago I use to say this to myself. I haven't been disproven yet. One doesn't even have to have been with both sexes, or these days, tri-sexes to be considered bi. I think it's inherent whether we're aware of it or not. It's the nature of consciousness.

IOW, yes. You have just only explained to what degree you are.

I know, I can barely listen to him talk anymore. Shows how it's all about perception and change is within you. Also not to get so attached to the current because one day you'll be a totally different person than you are today; looking back like, was that even me.

I understand and deeply respect. I always admire your bravery and dedication to this work whether I agree with your way or not. It is truly admiring. Even though I came off harsh on you, you didn't came back at me with the same harshness as I gave you which to me, is a great sign of a leader. I was very harsh maybe because I admire you so much and to see you like that was very disappointing. Nothing to do with you, this was my own feeling even though i still meant and believe in what I said. Sometimes we can get so attached to this work and it can overshadow the way we perceive others and their pov's. Our approach will vary and the way we handle disagreements, pressure and/or conflicted views and beliefs will also vary. I went through that phase and came out now being unscathed by other's spiritual beliefs. I realize that I myself have to tone down on my own rhetoric and not shove down people's throats every second what I believe to be the case. I'm at the point now where I'm trying to balance that while sticking to my own truths in a way where I don't impose on others. Thanks for realizing that I was just trying to point something out to you that you might have not been aware of, and was how I saw it and not necessarily the case, but it was because I have so much respect for you and i wish you do the same to me if and when you notice me drawing the line so I can take a step back and introspect.

This is also "proof", for lack of a better word, that there's nothing outside of you. Nothing outside changed, your state of consciousness did. There's nothing but states of consciousness in the relative domain. You are the world and the world is you.

Why the world looks different and things appear different is because your insides has changed. Nothing changes unless we change. Awakening is becoming aware of the changes, which you have. Beautiful post and wording. Very inspirational.

I see you're living in the past. Realize that this is a conditioning and unconscious thinking not pertaining to your life. You have let the unconscious mind (not low-conscious) run the show. We all do it, so I'm not pointing you out, just observing. Doesn't mean it will happen to you because there are still plenty of happily married people around. This is how I learn and help to spot my own unconscious behavior by observing others' and applying the spiritual intelligence i've acquired.

I remember before all this spiritual stuff, I heard him speak, subscribed and was like, yes, I like. Now I'm like wtf. I guess it depends on where you're at and what you're into.

Truth, according to our teacher, is "that which is the case", so if you got gaslit, that's truth. Is that gaslighting. Let me stop before I get a point for gaslighting that I'm not aware of.

The shit humans invent. How can you make someone believe something they don't already have an inclination to believe. Is this gaslighting, because I'm not aware of it. Is that gaslighting trying to come off as innocently unaware. Is that gaslighting trying to understand gaslighting. Is that........lol

I am not doesn't exist.

Leo tries to not get into personal blabbering and spiritual warfare as much. He leaves that to the mods. Doubt he'll respond.

I love me some Nemra.

Who is to say what's bullshit or not, spiritually. You are giving authority to people who might be bullshitters themselves. We aren't professional spiritual teachers or gurus or sages, so unless something is really way out there or some religious dogma ideology and clearly not what this forum is about, who is the judge of what's bullshit. Leo has the right to address what he considers inappropriate or not suitable because he's the admin and mods have a right to moderate forum guidelines, and also, within reason, what's not appropriate; but telling a forum member who is like one of us just expressing ourselves, sharing insights and perspectives that they call can out bullshit to me is one-sided. We are all here learning and expressing, and may not agree, but to point out to a particular member that they are allowed to call out bullshit because they personally think it's bullshit is asinine. Not that we don't or never call out other's if we think it's bullshit but for a mod to say to another member it's ok as if that member will definitely know it's bullshit is beyond me.

Well, this was my point, it wasn't respectful.

Giving is receiving and receiving is giving. It's both. Not one or the other.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I think that's exactly what happened. I heard my mom say, after her mom (my grandmother) passed, she wished God would take her because she felt it so bad. She loved her mother so much, plus she had eye and hearing problems. She passed around a year later. People die sometimes because that's what they wished for. Our wishes are being granted ever hour, ever minute, every second, it's just a delay because of the gift of time to change our minds. We don't realize it because we think by asking with words alone, the Universe hears us. No, it's our beliefs, feelings, focus and attention. They are magnetic and are read within the quantum field of infinite possibilities. The universe is alive and reads our vibration and what frequency we're tuned into. It's all a matter of focus and attention. Energy flows where attention goes. Focus on health and health comes your way, focus on sickness and sickness comes your way. I've healed my body many times with this method, nothing drastic, but because I identify as a healthy person the body quickly recovers. That's why addictions are so hard to beat because that's what one is focused on, it keeps coming their way. Ever heard of one that has an addiction to something and they have a hard time sourcing that addiction? The Universe will always find a way to get it to them. Even the homeless alcoholic with no job will always get his liquor; and why alcoholic anonymous "students" will always consider themselves alcoholics and have to be careful of backsliding because in their meetings they are told to introduce themselves as, "Hi, my name is John, and I'm an alcoholic". Scarred for life because that's their identity. Bad move.

I know he's a celeb, but how do you know it's staged. Even if it is, the purpose was just to show a cool approach and response without it needing to be extra, sexually explicit and just naturally down to earth and flowing.

I could tell you were speaking from some other place than teachings, parroting, what one digests from videos or books. I could tell and I'm not saying I agree or believe in everything you said, but I could tell it was from within you. Personal to you. Not from some outside influence. NDE's have some of the most profound stories I've ever heard and a few highly rated spiritual teachers have become such because of their nde's and have helped numerous people in their lives. Mas Sajady is one and Anita Moorjani is another.

You know me on this forum and you know I speak it as it is. How I really feel and I don't butter shit up. It's not about being a caring mother playing a role for the baby. It's about respecting other's opinions, beliefs, insights, perspectives, truths or whatever without demeaning and having the need to tell them to go somewhere else with it. We all have different perspectives on life and if we don't agree we can say it without being condescending and putting others down; and if I was to ever do that and it was brought to my attention, I would oblige and correct it. THAT'S HOW WE GROW in this domain. Growth isn't found in beliefs, ideologies, concepts, attacking, spiritual truths, etcetc, it's in the way we relate to each other and ourselves. Tough love is one thing; what you portrayed wasn't tough love, it was condescending and demeaning. You are trying to mimic Leo, imo, and it's just not in you. You are trying to play the tough character but it's not who you are. What you displayed, and this is just my opinion, was fear; fear of your little bubble being demolished because it is not what you have set up for yourself. The fact that you mentioned practices meditation, psychedelics, retreats, etcetc, to me indicates that you have a certain way you look at spirituality and if it's not done that way, youre doing it wrong and will not listen to anyone who don't do these things. If that's not a seekers trap, then I don't know what is.

No need to call anyone a loser. We are all in this together. Disagreement is one thing and I know I called his ego out, but it didn't really turn personal; and I was trying to show how we can be so judgemental of others thinking our way is better and if others' don't think how we do, they're wrong.

I'm secure within myself and there's a knowing deep down that can never be stirred within me. This is because I have not relied on anything outside myself to show me the way. Whatever outside forces came it was sent and I developed within me powerful discernment of what to absorb and what not to. To flush out the bullshit. I live this stuff. My whole life is a practice. Nothing anyone says or does can stray me away. I don't get annoyed with others' beliefs, perceptions, relative truths and the likes, I don't need anything other than what was provided to me within. I am the way, the practices and processes and when you recognize this you have truly made the connection. Now my practices are me. Whatever I do comes from me.

What OP has written is very profound. I don't know about what happens after we die and all the stuff about looking over the body and talking to loved ones through thought and being pulled to another location all those things talked about in those realms in the beginning of the post. Not denying it either, I don't know. The other stuff, thought about thoughts, beliefs, positivity vs negativity, how it affects our lives, the conscious and the subconscious. Starting from "Our human lives happen in the apparently material dimension", and except for the loved one parts, simply because it's a bit too radical for me and to relate to, all that was said seems to be the case especially about thoughts. It just all seems to tie in with my 5yrs of doing this stuff and all that I've heard from top spiritualists and even in my own experience. We don't realize how the unseen is more powerful than the seen and that it's all about thoughts and beliefs and what's in between. I enjoyed reading this post and it's obviously not pulled out from the ass whether it is so or not so. We have to remember this is infinite and anything goes. It's all made up and we all have our own unique experiences. We cannot all say for sure what is by speculating and not even at all times can we trust our own direct experiences because they are being filtered through sense perceptions that are also unique to our own consciousness. You can only know what happened but the interpretation could be faulty, which is all we're doing in life is interpreting and responding. Energy responding to energy. Very few people see life as it really is; actually I don't think as a human that's even possible only some can see it closer to what is than some and there's degrees to it.
