We are all reality's bitch When talking about entrepreneurs not necessarily being more free than employees.

@The0Self , @Gesundheit2 Thank you.

Thank you, that's what my intuition was telling me, ie the Absolute does not evolve.

@LawrenceLewis Yeah there's some gems on that channel, especially some of the older stuff.

Brilliant stuff

At the first transformational workshop I attended, one of the processes brought on quite a big kundalini experience in my body. When I went outside to sit on the grass I just looked at everything, and every time I blinked my eyes, it literally felt that I was creating the world a new. Felt so natural.

@Leo Gura When one soul is fully absorbed back into the Infinite Godhead, surely it can't mean that the universe ends completely ?

@Leo Gura So you are saying that God designed it as a feature of this cosmic game, that when one character/dreamer becomes so one with the original designer again, that it's an automatic game over for all ? Man I really respect your work, but this one is a bit hard to swallow. Or am I misinterpreting your words ?

I stand corrected I still maintain though that if you go deep enough into spirituality you probably will lose that competitive edge as a sportsman, ie chasing trophies simply for the sake of winning. Adyashanti use to do competitive cycling, but said after his awakening he simply lost the taste for it, even though he would still go cycling for fun.

I know Djokovic actually started losing tennis matches when he brought in a meditation guru on his team. After a while he let the guy go and started winning again. I'm sorry to say but if you go into spirituality deep enough you will lose that drive to win at all costs. However if you truly enjoy the sport that you do, spirituality can help you to enjoy it even more, ie go into the zone more often, and superhuman feats become possible, purely for the fun, beauty and grace of it all.

Lots of cities are good places for pickup. I'm curious, why are Norwegian cities not good for pickup in your opinion ?

More value on his channel than any other I've seen. Most critiques probably coming from a place of jealousy.

I find it a little strange that when a topic like "global awakening" is mentioned, most on this forum just make it out to be new age speak. When my first meditation teacher started her spiritual journey in the 70's she literally had to drive to another city to find a tiny esoteric bookstore hidden somewhere. Actualized.org has more than a million students today, and that's just one example. I think people underestimate how this thing is going to snowball exponentially in our own lifetime. The same goes for technology, people underestimate the exponential rate at which change is speeding up.

Combine shadow work with bliss/satisfaction work, see Leo's latest two videos.

@mandyjw , @Inliytened1 Thank you

Perhaps I'm wrong, but even for an enlightened person there would still be some existential suffering when others are still suffering. It's all parts of the same self isn't it ?

The way I understood her was, even if I reach a stage where I don't suffer anymore, but others around me are still suffering, then my work isn't done.

Anything specific in her teachings that tipped you off ?

I think Teal Swan said this once: No one is really enlightened until everyone is enlightened.

Thank you.

Sometimes it feels to me that teachings like those of Abraham Hicks simply exploit humanity's aversion to suffering. Exploit is perhaps too harsh a term, but I do wonder if these kinds of teachings can actually be detrimental to an integrated awakening ?
