Guys, I thought this would be appropriate to post since watching Leo’s how to get started with self-actualisation video and he mentions taking treatments from the New Age movement. More and more I hear people talking about guides and sacred contracts. That we have a support system of guides who are guiding us at all times and that sacred contracts have been made with these guides and people in your life to allow you to learn what you have pre-determined what you came to earth to learn. More and more in conscious TV and videos and from highly regarded healers both in the public eye and not I hear people talking about this and all the while I can’t help but think it’s a load of BS. If reality is only what the brain is rendering, so even if you are having these insights yourself or from a channeller, how do we know that these ideas aren’t just coming from the brain? More specifically if you’re in circles of the new age community where this is common then wouldn’t your brain be more likely to latch onto this as an idea, how much can we trust the brain to be actual reality, even on psychedelics and what even is reality? Would love to hear your thoughts, Best, Sophie.

Thanks for your reply aurum, that's really helpful! I totally get what you're saying yes! i have had an enlightenment experience that lasted for a couple of seconds when I was deeply following the questions of Mooji in Satsang, on video. It was overwhelming what I experienced and brought me to tears, he asked 'can it be taken away from you' as in your experience etc whilst I was in thoughtless awareness and I had a vast amount of information rush in as what I can only think of was an enlightenment experience or insight so i totally get what you are saying about the brain being in it, I get a sense of what that means from this experience but I suppose I need to have more of them and deeper ones to fully understand more. Thanks. xxx
