  1. 1. I don't agree that they are either real or not real. An example would be that you want something and that you don't expect to get it (Why?), A miracle would be to obtain the will and resourcefulness to go get it. 2. If you expect that you will be in awe by doing miracles taught by Leo your mistaken. This strategy will not work well, because if for instance Leo teaches it to you and to others then it will not leave you at awe because everyone is doing it. 3. The last thing I want to say that is that I think that you already think that miracles are not real, because if you did think they are real you wouldn't wait for Leo to teach them you would go look for them. I think that miracles are real, they do come, if you are not attached to the thing that you want to get.
  2. To orient oneself towards Truth one needs to observe his thought processes and that which observes these thoughts to get rid of the identity imbedded in thoughts. I am talking about the identity that doesn't want to see what is. An identity that has biases, that has agendas, that does not see. I will share some of the things that Characterize this Identity that I observe and that you might relate with: Hedonistic, fixated on thoughts, emotional turmoil (type of Identification), random (many different directions), foggy, dependent, picky, lacks acceptance of itself (rejecting oneself completely), narcissistic, doubtful, thinks something is wrong with it, selfish, fears rationality, fears thinking, fragmented...… What is this identity that prevents one from seeing? How to become more serious? How to be free? How to heal myself and others around me and move into my purpose? How to understand Truth, stop wanting it stop needing it just being it.
  3. @Razard86 Thank you that was illuminating and tough to understand ! @gettoefl I choose love, although it is difficult because the pity I keeps creeping up. @Princess Arabia Can you explain this more? I see that showed lack of concentration in the post
  4. Hello Everyone, I am new to this community . Here is my reflection on Reason and common sense. Let me know what you think! Reason is a general principle by which God operates. Common sense is certainly not Reason. A part of a whole, can have an access to reason recognized and seen through the eyes of common sense. If this is the case then How can common sense be refined? The majority is an indication for common sense but is it an indication for reason? Not necessarily because the whole can be deluded. How can then one verify whether the whole is deluded or not, by expanding the whole to include more. What if the whole was infinite? Here a part of infinity is still infinite so in this case things are different where reason recognizes itself as reason. Then what is the orienting principle between two perspectives? You postmodernist cu**, I got you (talking to myself )! it is not your role to “orient between them” but it is your role to go so deep into a perspective that you pull out the truth in it. So is there an absolute truth? The way a perspective functions produces truth, so I think there is.
  5. I feel the importance of having a Conscious direction in my life. I find it difficult to sustain, it usually disintegrates to something else like selfishness, rituals and so on.
  6. I can relate to this, because I struggle with mental health issues. I notice in the spiritual communities there is a wariness towards psychiatric medicine. I can see where it is coming from, but in my experience they helped in stabilizing my mind, which allowed me to pursue spirituality in a more sustainable way. therapy such as psychanalysis might help you to show up to your daily responsibilities, and possibly creating a somewhat healthy structure. however from my point of view there is one issue with most of the psychiatric community, which is that they don't heal you completely, they try to heal you so that you are functional and that is it, the rest is up for you. regarding the spiritual practices, some spiritual practices destabilize the mind more that others, so you can experiment with that. finding the right dose of medication for me made all the difference, (although it might dull the perception) it gave me a stable mind, so for instance before finding the right dose, contemplation made me lose this stability, now I rely on it heavily. hope this was helpful
  7. I can relate because I had social anxiety too, what helped me with that is therapy and exposing myself to new social situations. when you become more conscious you become more integrous.
  8. suffering makes the ego feel good about itself, you can stop suffering simply by deciding not to
  9. @Rilles a beautiful question, very trippy
  10. @Someone here I have an experience with insanity, I was diagnosed with a mental disorder quite recently, in my experience the border between sanity and insanity is crossed when I lose the ability to discern what is valuable and relevant to me, and I think this relates to conscience.
  11. There is the 321 shadow exercise talked about by ken Wilber
  12. @Preety_India I agree. usually what attracts attention is radiance, women know when they are radiating. ken wilber talked about this in one of his books There is egocentric radiance, where a woman radiates for herself not caring about others, maybe kinda like Regina George vibe There is ethnocentric radiation, where a woman offers radiates her beauty to her group and world centric where the woman radiates to the world
  13. I find that it is difficult to transform my thoughts into reality do you have any books to recommend on this subject? how can I close this gap?
  14. @seeking_brilliance i resonate with this phrase, how am I like this
