Just discovered this guy recently, and every time I listen to him, more and more of the sense of separate self just seems to melt away without any effort. Kinda magical really. It's gotten to the point now that when I think of memories of the past, there are impressions of past events, but I can't find a me in those memories, quite trippy.

My apologies, I skipped this video last night. He seems to imply that spiritual teachers are tainted when they make a living from this work, because they then have a profit motive. So he says even donations is a red flag. (He seems pretty far up his own ass) I'm sure there are many spiritual teachers out there who are tainted and not in integrity when it comes to the money aspect. Jim's message gives the individual nothing, no techniques etc. And the message doesn't change. I just don't see any agenda there. As far as the money aspect goes, I see that most of Adyashanti's videos on youtube are now for members only. So according to the guy in the video, Adyashanti is a fraud. Nah, a brother just gotta eat. @Elliott

Spot on

Not sure what you mean, it seems you're implying spiritual teachers are somehow wrong for charging money. Do you think a Rupert Spira retreat is for free ?

This is 2026, not 1926 India, God bless Papaji and Ramana, I love them, but good luck sitting with a begging bowl on the street today. Money is neither good nor bad. It's high time spiritual people grow the fuck up, myself included, I really want to teach this type of invaluable stuff to people, and I honestly don't see why I should be poor for doing so. This doesn't mean that I need to be greedy either. I think you can offer freebies and charge good money simultaneously. Thus you can serve the poor and the rich. (I think I read somewhere that in the old testament it said that if a wife cheated on her husband, she should be stoned to death. What if this whole hangup that many spiritual people have around receiving decent money for invaluable services, is just as rediculous and outdated. Why the fuck should doctors and lawyers live well, but spiritual masters who provide something beyond value itself, should grow their own vegetables, get fucked spiritual ego)

Yeah, somehow I don't think that when I was still a complete newbie, that Jim's message would work on me then. But maybe there are newbies that get it quickly.

What makes you think it's rare ?

🙂

Lets go Morocco ! (Most African teams ever to make it to the knock out stages)

Good question

Fair enough

Yeah, and the retreat might actually be actualized.org's first public event.

Should be good fun. (I'll only travel to America again when Trump's gone. Don't want to be stopped at the airport and sent to a Haitian prison by mistake.)

Are you going to Leo's psychedelic retreat ?

Really, on this forum ?

Im 49, I wonder who's the oldest person here lol One thing i love doing for leisure is simply to go chill in a coffee shop. I seem to trip on that vibe of being around a lot of people. My wife is the opposite, she can hardly go into a mall.

Good going bro !

One of the points brought up in the cult accusations was that Leo was making definitive statements about other people's awakenings. In Razard86's latest post in the spirituality section, he claims to have that very ability, ie to tune into what the specific flavour of someone's awakening is. I found that quite interesting. @Carl-Richard How do you view this ?

@zurew If Razard86 has this ability, and it sounds like he does, then perhaps Leo also has the ability to tune into people's levels of awakening and make statements about it. What do you think ? (This might actually wobble one of the legs, that the cult accusations have been standing on.)

Apparently Bashar has only ever made 3 predictions. The first 2 he got right, Twin towers, and also Trump's first election. Lets see, it would sure spice things up a bit

I think I misunderstood you, I thought you meant he's just in it for the business. But sure, I don't have a problem with spiritual teachers charging money for retreats etc. Youtube is free. Retreats they make a living from. Sounds fair to me.

Aha, I'm sorry, I just didn't understand ur reasoning. You seemed to imply that the fact that he was holding retreats somehow meant that the message was confusing. (That would imply that every spiritual teacher who holds retreats is somehow sharing a confusing message) Retreats are simply an opportunity to go into things in more depth. And to get a real feel for the energy of the teacher in person.

"This" is all that we are really looking for. The seeking energy is all that apparently veils "This" Even the seeking energy already is "This" The futility of seeking is one of his main pointers.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Not sure what ur saying ? (Jim simply uses the term: indescribeable mystery
