Wrong. We inhale and exhale air all the time effortlessly, and without desire. Breathing is life, and it is desire-less. Try again, Mr. Ego-mind.

@mandyjw I prefer mean.

I don't. And FYI, God does not need a lawyer. The human, on the other hand, needs a story, apparently.

Disappear.

I think a better question would be how many hours have you invested in reading? Probably over 4000 hours altogether, but not exclusively books. I read blogs, articles, forum posts, and other stuff. Some YouTube videos could count as reading, Leo's videos, for example. EDIT: Oops! I now realize the question is regarding Leo's booklist. My answer is none, because I don't have it.

@Rilles Nice contemplations! Although: Are you sure we're not just too retarded instead? There are two ways to say "I am stupid": I am stupid. Reality is intelligent. But only one way to say "reality is intelligent": Reality is intelligent. Detract "Reality is intelligent" from both equations, and you will get: I am stupid = Reality is intelligent. Pure stupidity.

It doesn't seem like Zen is actually trying to be anything. It destroys your knowledge and then gives you tools instead, and the rest is up to you. That's why I like it, because it is practice-oriented instead of theory. In your latest video, it was good to see you making a live guidance for direct realization. But we can always criticize anything, even that guided inquiry, we can say that it's so good that it will possibly make a lot of people co-dependent, needy, and lazy. Like you said; You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't.

So we can safely say that God is not infinitely intelligent or loving or powerful. If God can make one mistake, he's not perfect at all. In this light, things like omniscience and omnipotence become silly fictions. Wrong. Without the mind you can't think of good or bad. Everything is simply not good, whether with or without the mind. You think that you're isolating the mind, when in fact it is still running in the background and making projections such as "goodness", "love", "perfection", etc... But these things don't actually exist in direct experience no matter how much you believe they do. They're just by-products of a naive mind that makes projections but can't see that it's making them.

Another bug he needs to fix

Yeah, but the good kind of God, as opposed to the loser that is responsible for the creation process.

That would make medicine and doctors racists.

Not all diseases. There are diseases such as congenital heart diseases, cleft palate, fistulae, etc... that are caused by defective development of body parts during pregnancy. The causes are not clear yet, but there are several risk factors. So, it's not always a matter of biological survival of different organisms. Sometimes God is a freaking loser that does not know how to make perfect creatures.

Leo is the only thing that is imagination. Everything else is real.

They say strip away falsehood and you'll end up with the truth. I did just that. What I have now is the conditioning. If the conditioning is gone, what will be left? I want the instrumental/karaoke versions of these two songs: I have searched the entire web for them and didn't find anything. I even tried apps and sites that remove the vocals, but the results weren't satisfying enough.

Yeah, me too! I wanna read them all thoroughly sometime. Imo, they're so underrated. They contain deep wisdom that you can get through intuition. And intuition is dismissed in mainstream culture these days.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights I remember reading the books in Arabic when I was a kid. I didn't finish them all. It was a set made of 4 large books filled by very interesting stories, adventures, and sexual fantasies. The set got destroyed during the war and I never felt drawn to reading again. But I highly recommend it to anyone interested in erotica.

I like the light analogy. Considering the distance between the light source and the observer: Does humans' perception of dim light feel the same way from an ant's pov? Let's assume similar hardware, i.e. Let's assume the human eyes and ant eyes are similar. Would an ant standing on the top of a light bulb perceive light in the same way as a human? Do you realize the relativity of all this?

What sort of awakening are you discussing here? Seems quite the opposite of my awakenings. In my experience, deeper awakening is deeper levels of not-knowing and letting go. And what talent are you discussing too? You are creating the limitations because you can't let them go, because of fear. But God knows no fear. Awakening is not about flying to other dimensions using your enhanced wings or whatever. That would be a psychedelic myth that you are refusing to let go of.

Simply because truth is a larger infinity than language. The larger infinity contains the smaller ones. The smaller ones are a fraction of the larger one.

That one is different. "A common misconception today is that Atlas was forced to hold the Earth on his shoulders, but Classical art shows Atlas holding the celestial spheres, not the terrestrial globe; the solidity of the marble globe borne by the renowned Farnese Atlas may have aided the conflation, reinforced in the 16th century by the developing usage of atlas to describe a corpus of terrestrial maps."

I thought this was gonna be a critique of Leo's stances on science. Disappointing.

Reading through this and thinking to myself: Why would I care about what women like? At this point, caring for such silly things makes me think that I have self-esteem issues. And that is true. It shouldn't matter at all what other people like, want, or think. That is all delusion and ego games for a broken human that does not love himself fully. To become fully established in self-love/peace of mind and carry it with me all the time, I should not engage in such low consciousness behaviors. Low consciousness being anything unnecessary. High consciousness standards include emotional distancing, like with health standards and Covid-19's distancing. Being engaged in emotions with other people is a fatal mistake. You should never attach your emotions to people, because they are deceitful and evil devils. It's okay to be open about your emotions to others. It is attractive too. But don't ever repeat the same mistake you've been making for the last decade: Emotional Attachment.

True spirituality is not-knowing. You know you're making progress by reflecting on how much you think you know about reality.
