Omg thanks a lot for posting this. The belief of being a separate self and a bunch of non dual truths taken as beliefs is probably the most dangerous combination...

This 6 videos series will probably end more needs for theory and give a solid strategy. All the best

thanks for clarifying!

@Shanmugam @Saumaya I apologize beforehand if it sounds too stupid or vague. But please reply if you will. Sit down calmly for a couple of minutes. Then say the word 'I' in your mind several times. Where does that 'I' naturally point towards? to the body/mind? or to everything in perception? or to the experience of being aware? or to the simultaneous knowledge of being and non being or exactly what? PS: I first heard this from a Swami Vivekananda reference.

Can't argue with that! Studying Rupert's materials for a month clears years of confusion

Is it okay to cry after reading this? them feelz...

I mean..his words, pointers and questions stun my mind...leaving me dumbfound and silent

@Joseph Maynor Yeah it's kinda uncomfortable cause it points exactly to our unconscious assumptions and beliefs. It throws our materialist paradigm into the trash, sticks with direct experience and leaves us mindfucked.

Another thing I wanna mention. YEAH NOTHING MATTERS AFTER THE DREAM IS OVER. But it matters 100% RIGHT FUCKING NOW when my ass is suffering and I'm looking for something to fix it. That's what begins the inevitable journey towards self actualizaion

The truth has been spoken!! About Leo, we gotta understand that all teaching/information rests on a particular context. I don't think you can prepare a teaching which will teach you to become Donald Trump and a Zen Master at the same time. Totally acing both fields... Leo teaches from his perspective. So of course, he shares principles and techniques that resonate and work for him. AGAIN, If a Mcdonald's chef is so happy and fulfilled with his own job and whatever he does, then he wouldn't be 'searching' for a LEO over the internet to find answers to his frustration and helplessness towards life. So just let him do his job and remain 'happy' And those who are seeking for answers already cause they feel a lack/wound, you can't send them back to their old Mcdonald's chef job. So just let them search, learn and find fulfillment in their lives Finally its so easy to say just let go everything and enjoy life. But how are you gonna let go something which you don't even have in the 1st place? I guess its wiser to focus on our own selves and let everyone take their own time and path to realize the truth of letting go and enjoying life

@Viking This is something I must start doing as well! For the 1st time in your life, completely allow yourself to be lazy!! WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION Take 1-2 weeks off. Just take your regular 3-4 meals a day and see if you can spend the whole day doing absolutely nothing. Just sitting and lying down. Let go of all worries, all plans of future, the effort of figure out stuff. Don't even try to meditate JUST FIND OUT HOW MUCH LAZY YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE. FIND OUT WHATS AT THE HEART OF WHAT YOU CALL 'LAZINESS'

@egoless Whats wrong with being Mcdonald's CEO? Nothing! If you are totally happy and ecstatic eating junk food, jacking off to porn, lying and manipulating etc all the time then whats stopping you from living that life? If the hedonistic life is so great then why is self-reflection arising in the 1st place? After all, your body/mind calls for your attention only when you are in pain and suffering or something is out of balance/something needs to be done to readjust. All pain and suffering are call for attention to look at ourselves. It would be much more efficient to actually focus on becoming Mcdonald's CEO and getting whatever that comes with it rather than speculating about what is meaning/purpose/happiness of it. Why are you trying to find an answer or argue If you really think that being Mcdonald's CEO will make you complete. The attempt to generalize purpose/meaning/values/morality across everyone is one of the core reasons of conflicts. PS: This reply is not a personal attack towards you. If it feels that way then its either my failure to articulate it properly or its just the nature of texts on screen

@Viking This!

@Charlotte I just made a post with this video. If you decide to invest 1h 15 min of your time to properly educate yourself about Enlightenment then this one video is the right place to go. It will give you the accurate big picture understanding with which you can strategize around and always come back for a check.

Could be a Samadhi experience. I don't know if it'll convey any meaning but congratulations

More and more doubts are getting resolved PS: This one video has the capacity to educate you about the real thing which you've been searching for years in pieces. Don't let this opportunity of understanding the pinnacle of non duality slip by. Thank me later. Or not!

@Shanmugam Thanks for answering!

I'm not against practicing. Enlightenment can have a discontinuous jump aspect to it. A shift which can only come from outside the mind, outside my control..aka grace

Our reality/present moment experience is heavily influenced by our beliefs/moods/thoughts/the part of our 'personality' which is present at that exact moment. In fact, there could be no 'real' substance behind our perceptions other than our interpretations of it. As a kinda shy, introvert guy I've always felt insecure and fearful when I came across someone totally extrovert and vocal. What induces fear in me is just a natural expression for these extrovert people. Btw I love how you respond to others in a polite manner while keeping many possibilities open. Not a very common trait over the internet

Thanks for these words! Let the de-hypnotization begin

Psyches ain't available where I live. Maybe one day... All I got is self inquiry and ruthless honesty for now sounds awesome! good for you. All the best

I know I'll be dead by the time I enlighten my ass. I don't really have a fantasy of mass enlightenment or creating a puppet utopia that will serve my agendas. I want a permanent shift within me. The rest is upon grace

so true!! in this sense its the toughest work there is. you're actually turning back and challenging the very thing/ego thats been keeping you 'alive'..willing to dismantle yourself piece by piece..and you dont really know whats on the other side who really wants to do that unless you got at least a little doze of 'crazyness' inside you to begin with haha
