No, it's actually good news. It should be quite obvious that the ego age is coming to an end. Either we evolve or we self destruct. Plus we have this idea that change is always going to take a very long time. I don't agree with Leo on that one. Covid is already an example of an event which caused a speeding up of awakening on this planet. And there are more to come. We are the lucky ones who are waking up consciously. The rest of the planet will literally be forced. That this planet is evolving from 3d to 5d is not just New Age speak. Let's say there are 50 super enlightened beings on this planet right now. Imagine if that number went to 500 000 or a million. Can you imagine the ripple effect on society. And if you look at the number of people who have literally been doing this work on themselves over the past 10 to 15 years, it's not an impossibility. It's foolish to think that it's business as usual for planet earth. We really are living in extraordinary times, and it's a good thing.

This Kali Yuga is coming to an end. It's interesting to note that two unrelated sources both predict the start of a Golden Age in 2035, ie Bentinho Massaro, and the Oneness University.

Happiness with a capitol "h" is our true nature, ie beyond dualistic notions of happiness and sadness.

Enlightenment is happiness. If you don't mind what happens, how can you not be happy ?

The frequency of nostalgia can also have a useful and deeper significance on the spiritual path. As in nostalgia for and a remembering of your true home. Like God whispering to all it's parts, there's rest here.

When we evolved from being solely reliant on our instincts, into beings with self reflecting minds, conflict arose between our instincts and our adventurous minds. It was in this conflict that the shadow was born. The speaker (a biologist) in this short video clip even relates it to the garden of Eden in a novel way. It kind of feels like the whole human story is one where we were once taught that we are bad, and ever since we have been trying to prove that we are good. After watching this clip I came away feeling an amazing new level of understanding, forgiveness and love for myself and all of humanity. One gets the sense that with the right understanding the shadow can be integrated much faster than once thought possible. I hope someone else also has an aha moment when watching this.

Devilry is an innocent byproduct of evolution. When we don't see it's innocence it leads to more devilry. When we see it's innocence it is transformed.

In Leo's latest video he says God realization is much deeper than nonduality. Leo, I watched the whole video, thank you, but please can you or someone else that knows, say a bit more about the difference between realizing God and fully realizing nonduality. Are people like Adyashanti or Spira not God realized ?

@Leo Gura Just briefly, what is your main disagreement with the work of Frank Yang ? Because I feel truth in your teachings and also in his.

Thank you

Feels like Frank Yang just rocked this forum in the most beautiful way today

Is becoming aware through meditation and contemplation of how I am imagining/creating everything (including science, birth, death, family etc) not the best way of going about realizing that I am God ? (Apart from psychedelics of course.)

@Inliytened1 Thank you. And then, if I understand correctly, God realization is really taking it all the way, ie realizing that as God I have literally imagined the whole universe and everything in it.

I hear you, but my question is more about what Leo says in his latest video: ie that God Realization is something deeper than nonduality. I'm not doubting the oneness of reality. I'm more curious as to why he said God realization is something beyond or deeper than nonduality/oneness.

In this clip Bentinho explains that every moment is it's own eternal parallel reality. With the symbolic cosmic big bang, God instantaneously created every possibility that could and ever will exist. So for example, the conversation you had with a friend this morning, has been playing itself out in the universe since the beginning of time, and will do so eternally. The novelty to the universe this morning, was the way your consciousness related to the conversation in that present moment. And on a more global scale, Bashar teaches that one can simply shift to the version of earth which one prefers. So for example, you could shift your consciousness to a version of earth where all the oceans are clean if you so choose. I agree with this to some extent, because we do all inhabit our own unique universe, but when it comes to changes on a macro level, I have a sense that it's more about the dominant forces in the collective consciousness. Any interesting perspectives on this topic are most welcome. Thank you.

Once enlightened, he or she probably would not be drawn to the porn industry anymore.

A conflict that can never be solved through logical negotiation. Forget the history and who you think is right or wrong. Right now both parties claim same piece of land as their holiest of holies. Imagine this catch22 conflict happening within your own brain. Bring it to a complete peace within yourself, and you have done more than most today.

@Truth Seekah Spot on, thank you !

I guess all I am saying is that collective consciousness creates it all. Therefore some conflict within me partly helps to create the conflict out there in the world. Seeing as the external world is a mirror of the internal world.

Grateful for all the wisdom shared here on the forum. Was wondering if any of the moderators have youtube channels or other links where we can follow their insights more directly ?

A lot of writing here and very few pics, come on people, your face is the face of God.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks

Thank you !
