@Ramasta9 I thought you might enjoy this (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠) In the backstreets of Northcote:

In addition, please be more conscious of accusations like this openly. Report this sort of stuff to the mods. Don't drag someone else into speculation and tarnish their reputation. We all know the collective damage behind Preety. Do not perpetuate the damage. This applies to myself also.

You don't actually have hard evidence ever though - just circumstantial. In addition I mean, I cannot always take you seriously because you thought @Ramasta9 was bloody Nahm... Facepalm moment You see Preety everywhere - and you are quite mean to her on other platforms. Do you recognise that this is occuring because she is everything you have not yet integrated? You have all the same qualities you denigrated her for, unclaimed. You wouldn't be projecting this and judging all those things if it weren't so. You feel okay judging her because you are so sure in your mind you do nothing like she does.... But it's all there in you causing contraction.

I think some people do not sit well with the paradox of holding knowledge, and simultaneously not knowing. They are determined to sit with only one side of that coin 👾 It is always this AND that, no? ಠ⁠‿⁠ಠ

Astrology is all fucked up intentionally to distort whatever truth is there. There should be 13 signs, not 12. Just look at how fucked up the ancient calenders are trying to accommodate 12. It is very strange so much beautiful and accurate geometry and astrological observations were made.... And then this fucked up 12 that minces it all. 28 days per month. 13 months. Follows the lunar cycle. It's cleaner and more accurate but somewhere along the line historical momentum and human attachment lead to 12.

Just wanted to remark I read this, it was received. There is a saying many use 'Wake up, clean up' and then we grow up. Do you think you have popped out of the 'wake up' and now stuff is coming up that needs to be 'cleaned up'? I ask this as when I read this passage, I absorbed feelings of contraction. The ego, the self - it cannot be killed. We just see through the illusion. It doesn't mean it is not there....after all, we cannot kill or dissolve something that never existed in the first place. It is a paradox: we see through the illusion, and it lessons it's ability to control us. But it is still present and directive. The ego no longer operates on the top layer, and with this, everything below it was protecting us from comes up. Begging to be addressed. I wonder if your waking up saw the illusion clearly, and then what remains to be embodied rose out of it with warning lights and sirens. This happened for me. Key part of my process. Harder than waking up or contemplation. The working on contractions and following why feelings rose up. I dislike a lot of Neo Advaita and nondual communities. Everyone attempts to speak from authority. And it mostly leads to bypassing. Overall I do not have much to give you. I do not know if my words struck. But I am witness ❤️🙏

@Schizophonia holy fuck this profile picture. The moustache is obscene...

I don't see you claiming to be a teacher - someone else was. In addition - nothing but ego present claiming someone doesn't know wtf he/she is talking about. Cannot be known.

This is just mean. And petty. And a judgement, when it should simply be a discernment. I've always had the personal feelings that the quality and depth of what is learned is reflective of the teacher. So if James fails to teach - is the failure of the teacher, or the student? Either way you are falling into assumption. In addition, if more people learn from Leo - who remains the more exceptional teacher? We speak in terms of your labelling one teacher as more exceptional than another - as you raise. Some big things to think about 🙏 @Galyna I enjoyed your very personal anecdote ❤️

I am generally more intrigued and attracted to odd, offbeat and striking looking people over basic beauty standards .. but this is getting full niche mode. Even for me 🤪 Oh yeah! Like Kintsugi! I forgot about this - I think my relatives have some pieces in their collection. I love the flaws in things ⭐☄️

Really? I didn't know this.... Unusual teeth aesthetics are a thing I never knew about 🥴 😁

Perfectly straight, obsessively whitened teeth. Cosmetic dentistry. This includes cosmetic veneers.

I am not sure how one has a clear understanding of truth and spirituality without some solid philosophy. I can see how philosophy might feel abstract, disconnected and pull one into mistaking cleverness for wisdom - that whole 'circle without landing' effect. They (spirituality/philosophy) have always gone hand in hand for me - a healthy feedback loop. Philosophy sharpens discernment & direct experience tests philosophy. Each keeps the other honest. It keeps one in check from just rolling with 'this feels profound!' and pushes us into 'this actually holds up'. Philosophy does all the unglamorous work clarifying terms, coherence. Helping to separate insight from suggestion and can really help ground our experience into something to be examined. I make no comment on academic philosophy here though I can hear all the spiritual retorts now... 'That is not it!' 'More concepts - throw them away' Philosophy / spirituality in are in relationship for me in my process. Wake up, clean up !

Not science - body / mind according to you.

I am quite surprised at the cowardice in refusing to bring clarity to terms! I really thought James was trying to assist...
