Isn't the point of this conversation that reality is perspectival? At the end of the day, everyone will trust only their own experience as much as you convince them otherwise. Or am I not getting it?

@supremeyingyang It worked. Thanks.

No. Imagine that you have never eaten an apple and someone says to you that there is this thing called apple. He/she describe what is an apple. (Not) believing in it does not change the fact that you have never eaten an apple. And it does not matter if most people say that they have eaten it. It could be useful to believe in that, but you have not actually eaten it yet.

The fact that the earth was believed to be flat means that it can be believed to be anything. E.g. sphere, round, egg-shaped, etc.

Yes.

@Swarnim I feel you. When I knew that there was a more "quick" way to mystical experiences and awakening I started thinking about forgetting spirituality. It was one of the worst things that happened to me, because, like you, I don't have access to substances. But later it became obvious that I didn't care about the truth. All I can say is to sit and realize that you know nothing.

I think there needs to be a How to know if you spiritually gifted video series.

I do not know any forum that values honesty, open-mindedness. Actualized.org is a rare kind of thing that can change your life and it deserves its appreciation. Every video is special in its own way, but the one video that made me to open up to new kinds of things was outrageous experiments in consciousness. Especially, the part when Leo is speaking about love between him and god. And of course the members who put time and effort to respond consciously to new comers and try to open you up to new ways of thinking, ... . Thank you.

@SamC Maybe, you are becoming aware of subtle sounds. I have ringing in my ears. It is a symptom called tinnitus. Maybe, it is tinnitus, maybe not.

OMG. His fans' comments are just amazing.

I was talking about the conceptual self.

The meaning of space will change when you change the meaning of yourself. Look around and find yourself. Can you find it? Do it until you realize that there wasn't a "you" in the first place. And the distance of a thing will become zero and there will be no space left because things are defined by you and relative to you.

@meow_meow You're not alone. I do it too. Notice the change when you become aware when you think and imagine the stuff you're always unconscious about. If you were conscious that you are imagining the stuff that you are imagining in this case would you do it the next time? Having an image in your mind isn't the problem. In this case, it misrepresents what is actual. Next time when you start to think and imagine become aware of it. Or just let it go and see what happens. Or when you are doing it just don't respond and just observe it.

Every video is uploaded on the right time for me. It's kind of magical.

I'm not enlightened, but I smell the pointlessness here. That's why self-reflection is important.

With all seriousness, just by listening Leo speaking about reality and other kind of spiritual stuff I get "spiritual orgasm". There are few spiritual teachers that have that kind of impact on me. Is it selfish? I don't know. Anyways, thank you and I wish you the best.

@blackchair Be careful. Being surrounded by people does not automatically make you nondogmatic.

@blackchair Yes, but without being dogmatic about it.

It's like that Sam is deliberately trying to misunderstand Rupert.

For me, doing an unconscious activity.

@Kalki Avatar Notice, right now, that you are thinking. You are making so many assumptions unconsciously (they are neither true nor false and are not important right now). Imagine that your holding really hot coal, metal, etc. What would you do at that moment? Of course, you would drop it, but that doesn't mean the "heat" will go away immediately (Be patient, I know it is hard). So, drop all of your assumptions like that. And ask yourself What do I want. Actually, FEEL the question. It is really that simple.

@Kalki Avatar If you really desire something, nothing will get your way. Try this exercise. Sit and just ask (HONESTLY) What do I want. Do not jump to conclusions without deep questioning. You feel it. And there are no maybes here. JUST DO IT.

I think without stupidity, I would not be here. Which is funny.

@Preety_India That's why (not) having kids have to be done consciously to really appreciate that kind of experience. Here the key difference is conscious and unconscious. But even when you do it unconsciously, you will eventually become conscious about it.

@Preety_India I understand you. I'm not saying the love that we have is a belief, I'm saying that the need that we should experience that kind of love is a belief. I'm not saying you shouldn't carry that belief, I'm just saying it's simply a belief.
