How could they being enlightened if they don't exist? You are creating then to live and adventure, and you created Leo and others gurus to awake, that's the principle of solipsism if I'm not wrong. That's what Leo said in the deleted video. Or for you the others are real? Then you are not talking about solipsism

Thinking that you are the only thing and nothing else exist is just a conceptual idea. Thinking that you are god creating this reality because you want to feel love and you are hiding this fact to yourself to live an exciting adventure, is another idea, and it's bit....let's say....well, I don't find the right word

Consciousness is an emergence that occurs when reality operates in a dual and self-registered way

A lot. means that the people who proclaim it, instead of a dissolution of centrality, have experienced an inflation of the ego without losing their boundaries, entering a mystical phase in which they believe they are god.

Some questions to understand a bit your approach: What does it mean that you are nobody? What does enlightenment mean? Why it doesn't exist?

It seems that yesterday in Israel, the start of an operation called Iron strike was approved. At the same time, all the pizzerias in the Pentagon area were overwhelmed with orders. This can only mean war in Iran. Will it be a lightning attack or a real war? What repercussions will this have on Iranian oil exports to China? It seems the US is playing its cards. What will China's response be? I suppose the patient nation is waiting for the fruit to ripen and fall on its own. But in the meantime, the US is tipping the scales in its favor, as always. Many Iranians will celebrate.

What brings about enlightenment is the dissolution of all limits. I believe it's impossible to exist without any limitations since we are a limited being, so enlightenment is only possible to a certain point. The point is to reach a point where your system stops operating in a contracted mode and starts operating in an open mode. This is a total change, before and after. After this, you can be at a more or less normal level, with desires and fears, but fundamentally in an open state, or you can be a monk who doesn't move for years in total harmony and burns up without lifting a finger, that's a matter of degree. The point, what anyone wants, is stopping the contraction and starting the open mode. This changes absolutely the experience. Rumination almost disappears, since rumination is essentially the construction of a identity. Projection into the future is minimized, and the mind settles into the present. This is only possible if the present is not limited by barriers; it's not something you can simply decide to do. The work isn't about deciding to live in the present, it's about breaking down the barriers. It's not so difficult to understand what the barriers are, but they are solid, energetic. They don't break easily.

Agree, Non-duality is just a conceptual idea and is useless; the real issue is action, not knowledge. Action is breaking down the energetic barriers that keep us closed off, and thus becoming limitless. This could be interpreted as meaning there are no two because there are no limits, but that's confusing, since there are relative limits. The absence of limitations is inside you, but you can't walk through a wall, then there are relative limits. Non duality would say that they are a dream, but this is even more confusing. They exist and that's it, the only point is breaking your energetic barriers and be open, not defining the reality as an illusion

At a local level, something may be necessary, coherent with the rest, relative to what precedes it, but at a total level, the only possible reason for everything is that it is inevitable. In the absence of limits, reality unfolds. Just a logical deduction, it's impossible another option then it has to be the right one

Maybe but I hate the phrase: reality is one. It seems like an idea that closes things off, not opens them up, like a closed circle . Perhaps the phrase: reality is not two, is more...let's say, non-constrictive. But the phrase that works is: reality is. It's totally open. Just my subjective feeling. As I see there may be unconscious reality, but as far as we are concerned, it is irrelevant, since we are conscious reality. The fact that we are conscious reality does not imply that non-conscious reality is impossible. For consciousness to exist, apparent duality is necessary; without it, reality would not be recognized, would not be observed, it would simply be. Reality doesn't need to be recognized, nor does it need intentionality. These are inevitable emergences in the absence of limits.

Perhaps after the 100 psychedelic trips you said to have had, you've realized that the "divine" state and the "human" state are simply two different subjective perceptions, both limited. They are attempts to trick your energy system into operating in a "mystical" rather than a "mundane" way. Both are perceptions with edges and a bottom. Enlightenment is the absence of edges and a bottom, and no substance will take you there because if your system needs edges and a bottom, when its pushed by the substance, it will create other, broader edges, but they will still be borders

According to Advaita Vedanta, enlightenment could be defined as sat chit ananda. Sat, that which is. Chit, that which recognizes itself. Ananda, the total bliss of the absence of limits. Therefore, according to this idea, reality knows, that is, it recognizes itself as reality, it knows that it is, therefore it knows everything. In that fact, everything is known, nothing is lacking, therefore the idea of not knowing is false; enlightenment is knowing everything: you are. Or, if you prefer, being is. That's total knowledge.

Normal , if your life is great why would you try to trascend anything? The problem is that for your life to be fantastic you have to be a little foolish, otherwise you'll realize the fragility of your world and then things won't be so cool anymore.

Yes, me, for example. Because of my emotional makeup and family circumstances, I was in a worse state than Tolle. I set myself the essential goal of breaking the energetic pattern that kept me in a shitty state every minute of my life, except during moments of intense escape, that used to seek. There's no room for deception here; if your energy is functioning in a contracted mode, you can lie, but you can't deceive yourself. You live on an emotional rollercoaster, and if you're honest, you accept your state. It's possible to completely change this state, but it's extremely difficult because the contracted functioning is very deeply ingrained in your system. You need to understand what contraction is, its origin, its cause. It's something innate in being human, since we perceive ourselves as separate and mortal, which is true from a certain perspective. The balance between contraction and openness is difficult; self-preservation is essential, but you can't let yourself be trapped in an energetic cage. Beware of mystical traps. Projecting yourself toward a higher, spiritual, divine existence is contraction disguised as openness. Total openness is beyond knowledge; it is the fact that you are, and there are no absolute limits, period.

The body/mind is what you are, it doesn't need ownership, it's the ownership itself

It's a fact described by words. Are you breathing or not?

Tolle is a guy who one day was in a state of suicidal depression with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the next day was in a completely expanded state. Tolle didn't seek this out; it happened by chance. This is possible, but the problem is that Tolle doesn't know how to move from a contracted state to an expanded state because he hasn't made that transition voluntarily, so his teachings are incomplete; they lack the process. In the other hand, Tolle has excellent explanation about expanded state without falling in mystic religious explanations, is direct and clean.

What you are, the energetic pattern of body and mind, is a reality. There is a will to be, and that is what you are, and denying it is useless. Every breath expresses the will to be in this way.

Constantly looking at death is essential in spirituality. Death is here, a micron below the surface. Looking at death doesn't mean thinking you're going to be reincarnated or become a god; it means accepting total dissolution, the end of control, of form.

Life finds its own path. If that path is war, then that's it. Life unfolds, opens up, seeks expansion. A major obstacle to aligning with reality is the ideal of love, happiness, and well-being. Life lives on, that's all. Be one with it, be aligned. Life doesn't care about suffering, injustice, or death; it only cares about being, because it is. Nothing is external to you as reality; everything is external to you as a dualistic being. Death is here, right here, a millimeter away from this moment. If you open yourself to it completely, you are one with reality, then there is not fear anymore.

Imagine the US doing to a nation of 30 million people what the Chinese are doing to the Uyghurs: erasing their identity, declaring Islam a mental illness, extreme surveillance, interning millions in re-education camps. What would you say about that?

There's another essential point. At a certain moment, you realize that contraction isn't just a mental state; it's a global energetic configuration embedded in your body, in your posture, your breathing, in every muscle. For you, it was a normal state, but you begin to see the tension, and it becomes increasingly noticeable. At one point, it feels like you have an illness or that something serious is about to happen. This tension gradually releases, and it's essential that it does, since contraction wasn't just an idea but a way of being. Once you shift phases, the fluid state seems completely normal, and the previous state seems impossible.

And the Venezuelan regime is another Satan that has the country hostage, rigged elections, and caused a quarter of the population to emigrate. Satan's dances. The question is not whether this is right or wrong, but what consequences it will bring.

The problem is that it's not something you can do at will. Just as you can't stop the flow of thought, you can't stop constructing identity because your system operates at that frequency. If you try, you jump to another identity, God or whatever. The only way is to access expanded states in meditation little by little, day by day. The first time this happens, it could lasts two seconds and is very shocking; it's as if reality becomes fluid, uncompartmentalized, limitless. It's not something mystical, or well, everything is mystical if you want. It's a different way for the mind to operate, a mind that has become accustomed throughout life to needing solid anchors. These anchors must be constantly maintained; without them, balance is at risk. It's not something you can do in a moment, but after a period of practice. Perhaps two or three years of serious meditation and psychedelics with the goal of liberation, not understanding or transcendence. You have to aim for rupture, not construction.

Without limits, at some point a dual system will emerge that gives rise to consciousness. "Some point" is always, because there is no beginning or end, as those would be absolute limits. Reality has no purpose, it is just inevitable. Any absolute purpose would be an absolute limit, implying that without it there would be no reality. And that purpose would be part of reality, not its cause. Any cause would be part of the reality, same than any possible god. Then there is not god, cause or pourpose, just reality
