Matthew85

@Leo Gura I know that I am living in a dream, but I seem to have no control over what unfolds.

@Leo Gura So if somebody is starving or in extreme suffering, you say this is reality being perfect? "just surrender to it and you are happy and at peace." Easy to say when you are not in extreme suffering or challenge's.

@Leo Gura Yes, but all of it is being orchestrated at levels beyond my awareness. Are you saying that everything in my reality is my own personal dream and creation? If so, it is being created at a level that is beyond my awareness. Why would I give myself that degree of amnesia?

@Leo Gura But so much of it seems to be being orchestrated at levels beyond my awareness. For example. You have no idea what you will dream tonight when you fall asleep. You will fall into a series of stories and narrative's until you wake up.

@Leo Gura How do I transcend this limited human consciousness, so I can feel and experience more freedom?

@Leo Gura Lately I'm having a really hard time with the lack of awareness and control over the realities we are experiencing. From my Matthew pov it all just seems to be unfolding on it's own. I don't like feeling like a puppet.

@Leo Gura So are you saying that my experience of reality is 100 percent my creation? Is the ego mind just God pretending to be limited?

@Leo Gura How do I distinguish this from the ego mind?

@Leo Gura So are you saying there are other bubbles of perception?

@Leo Gura Are you going to expand on how this can be true for each of us in future teachings?

@Leo Gura We are all works in progress. I appreciate your willingness to share such a personal journey publicly for the benefit of others.

@LSD-Rumi I agree. GHB is so superior to alcohol and no hang over the next day. Unfortunately it's very difficult to get.

@mrPixel I did eventually, but it wasn't easy. My energy and mood improved once I was able to get off coffee and espresso.

@Staples Did you get the sense you were living in a co created reality? So interesting. This requires further investigation.

@spinderella I am familiar with both and I resonate more with Byron Katies's work. My current perspective on this is you contain it all. There can be some some benefit to healing and integrating, but you have to careful because anything you are giving your focus and attention to you are continuing to perpetuate. To heal trauma do we have to integrate? No, I don't think we do. Ultimately it comes down to your belief system's.

I don't agree. This is often touted in spiritual communities. Love is much more transformative than suffering.

@Leo Gura Leo, have recent awakenings changed your perspective on what others are? I'm confused by this statement.

@Staples Thank you for sharing. It would be interesting to gain insight into how your creating them and why you create things you dislike as well.

@Illusory Self This can be very helpful. Just like having a personal trainer can help a lot with focus and discipline.

@tuku747 Yes, but discernment is the key.

@Sincerity Excellent insights. I have often found that what I am seeking is on the other side of what I am fearing.

@Rishabh R You are not limited to college student's. You have a world people to connect with. Find people you can learn something from.

I have been contemplating this recently. I have experimented a lot with how my dominant state affects my reality. What has been most effective for you in shifting your experience of how you perceive life? Sometimes I feel my conscious thoughts have a profound affect and other times I feel something so much deeper is at play.

@Leo Gura Sounds exciting! I miss you exploring more on the topics of reality and consciousness. The recent episodes don't have much appeal to me.

@ShardMare In moderation its fine and can have benefits. I have had some interesting insights after a couple glasses of wine. It's good at helping release fear and inhibitions. It can be a helpful tool. If you drink too much though, you get some negative affects.
