@Mesopotamian It depends where you live. Does disrespect have a huge effect on your survival? Is it possible to survive alone? Do you have a job? Do they pay well? Also, Iraq is not a developed country. Be careful comparing it with a developed country. Have you found a way to to get out of your country? If yes, why are you waiting for?

@Mesopotamian In Iraq, do you have to be blessed by your parents in order to officially marry her?

@trenton noticing that you are not authentic is actually a progress. Actually masturbation can help you. Try to understand your sexual desires a little bit before getting into a relationship.

@StarStruck Has it always served you the way you expected or wanted?

@StarStruck I sense that you are a perfectionist. Am I right?

@trenton Don't you agree that changing oneself means thinking outside the box? In this case, I mean completely changing your life. I guarantee that you don't want suffering to be the center of your life. Suffering can work for you if you learn from it, but don't chase it because it will degrade your life. Even a little bit is too much sometimes. I'm not saying to not go through it, but know when you are unnecessarily creating suffering. I'm not justifying not to be honest with your family.

@Bazooka Jesus this means we should part ways. ? Sorry.

@Bazooka Jesus Oh, my. I intuited that you were going to say something like that. I just wanted to prove it to myself.

Who else is?

@StarStruck I think you misunderstood them. That's why it has worked for you. ?

@trenton Whatever you do, remember that being honest backfires if you are not doing it wisely. It's great that you can see issues in families. I understand the feeling of seeing all of the gaslighting and illusions in families. I think to properly be honest with your family, you must first take care of your survival or create a safe space to process all of your emotions.

@Bandman You sound like you were previously in a cult.

Have you thought about that you could be wrong or not deep enough? If Leo came to your forum and said you are wrong about spirituality, what would you do?

@Princess Arabia My apologies, Princess. ?

Maybe they think they are right. Yes, of course my queen. ?

People need to take a break from this forum and also from Leo teachings for at least a month, otherwise they get delusional of how awake they are and are still confused. When they don't agree with something with Leo, they start a rant of how he is wrong about everything, which is not to say that we need to believe him or blindly follow him.

@Princess Arabia I came to that conclusion on my own. I have always been skeptical of his teachings and his opinions and respect my experience too much.

@Princess Arabia I said it, because people who have been confused about this for a long time think that they can solve it without using it. They get delusional about it. Maybe one or two have done it, but I don't think that it's possible. You don't have to try psychedelics to understand that any kind of drug can change your state of consciousness effectively, even though they don't help you to do spirituality.

@Princess Arabia Meditation is a state of consciousness. I have tried it and had a few insights and small awakenings but it takes my time. If there is something that is way more powerful why not try it.

But why not? Maybe there are few of them and they don't care about sharing it with others. Because no one can handle like you or you have seen things that made you sure about it?

@Someone here all of this conversation is meaningless until we try psychedelics. All I know is that state of consciousness is important.

@Leo Gura Do you agree that someone not on this forum may know more than you? If so, what would you do when he/she says that your realizations are nothing compared to me and are half-truths?

@Moksha don't abuse not knowing. There is always something that you haven't realized. Didn't your realization change or deepen overtime? I bet it has.

@SQAAD Religion is more of a lifestyle than spirituality, and it just simplifies life for the simple-minded. I think that is the reason for the existence of different religions. Interestingly, people's understanding of spirituality heavily depends on their lifestyle, which is mostly delusional, which makes their spirituality bullshit. I think none of them, from laymen to priests or scholars, understand spirituality.
