Matthew85

Rather than criticizing maybe perhaps try to see what it would be like to have thousands of people messaging you seeking your advice and help. He is one person, he doesn't have a big staff to help him. Try appreciating all he offers and gives us instead of criticizing. Also, he has discussed many times the trap of people becoming to reliant on a teacher or guru instead of doing the work to find the answers within themselves. With all he has offered, if he vanished today you could contemplate and work with his content for many years and continue to derive more insights from it.

Leo receives hundreds and some weeks thousands of messages. It's not possible for him to write an in depth detailed reply to each one. He does the best that he can.

@axiom Good point. A better way of saying it is a more direct method. All change is an instant change even when we create the illusion of many steps in the process. We could just as easily skip all the steps.

@SelfHelpGuy Yes. All these teachings about killing the ego and no self can cause a lot of confusion. The awareness that is you can never be extinguished, it can only be limited or expanded. I have a lot of love for my ego personality of Matthew. He doesn't need to die. He is expanding and growing in a similar way that a child evolves and expands into adulthood, but even much more so.

@SelfHelpGuy You're welcome!

@SelfHelpGuy Thank you for sharing your experience! It mirrors some of my insights. The sense of self never goes away, it just expands and expands to include everything.

@puporing Well said. Leo is on his own journey of growth and expansion, as all of us are. Too many of his followers rely on him to give them the answers and insights instead of actually doing the work to discover and verify it for themselves. He continually tells you not to do this, but I guess many don't have the interest, passion and discipline to put in the work themselves. Never blindly follow and adopt beliefs or truths from any teacher. Always verify them for yourself before adopting it as a truth. Several times on the forum I posted my insights into the holographic nature of God/consciousness. How God/consciousness replicates itself infinitely. And the paradox this presents of how something can be an infinite many and one simultaneously. Exploring consciousness at these levels you are going to discover paradoxes and insights that will not make sense to a finite human mind at a limited state of consciousness. This is a never ending journey of exploration and discovery. As you discover more, it will naturally make previous insights incomplete. If this upsets you, then exploring consciousness at these levels is not for you. I am extremely grateful for Leo for sharing what is a deeply personal journey in such a public way. I feel like I found a counterpart in him who shares the same level of passion and insatiable curiosity for wanting to understand reality and consciousness at the deepest levels.

@Ethan1 Interesting question Ethan. What came to mind as I read your question was knowing the truth of who I am.

Deeply contemplate this.

You have been asking the same questions for months on the forum. Endless metallization from the same level of consciousness is not going to give you the insights your are seeking. Only an expanded awareness and your own direct experience will. Are you able to remember your dreams? I receive many profound insights from my higher mind by setting intentions before falling asleep. Or perhaps look into getting some 5-Meo.

@B222 No it doesn't. There are many distorted beliefs around desire. Just take a look at everything that makes up your life. It all came into existence because of a desire. Part of the confusion stems from people having desires that they doubt and don't believe they can have which leads to suffering. The solution is not to get rid of your desires. The solution is to align your beliefs with what you desire. They feel different. They should light you up, energize you and make you feel excited. Passionate creative artists and inventors are excellent examples of this. Yes it is. You can be content and still eager and excited for more. Be careful adopting distorted beliefs about desire. Desire is the fuel for creativity and creation.

@Fernanda Excellent advice!

@michaelcycle00 Good question. When I examine successful manifestations I have had, it seems I from my Matthew level of mind was able to impress my higher mind which orchestrated the process of me experiencing them. I haven't seen anyone demonstrate this level of changing someone, but it may be possible. Yes, I see what you are saying, but you have to distinguish finite mind from the higher mind. If you accomplished something like this it isn't Michaels mind that did it. Many seem to be confused in thinking my finite mind is all that exists. Our finite minds are just one of infinite finite minds within the mind of all that is. Perhaps contemplate why would an infinite mind limit itself to only 1 POV, when it could just as easily hold infinite POV simultaneously and make each POV appear to be a unique individual experience by blocking their awareness of one another. The richness and diversity of experiencing infinite POV would be much more interesting than one. That's great! I don't have all the answers. I am still trying to figure all this out myself. I do believe others are conscious and have awareness and a will just as I do. I don't know of anyone who has been able to get people to conform to their desires 100%. Is it possible? I don't know. I feel others are real. I see them more as me in another body, but not me meaning Matthew, me meaning an aspect of my higher mind, which Matthew is as well.

@michaelcycle00 I have not personally validated being able to do something like this, but I believe it may be possible. One solution is the possibility of infinite realties. Infinite realties means every possible reality and variation that could ever exist. That would include the one where your sister Greta becomes pro-fossil fuels and retains all the shared memories with you as her brother. I'm not sure Michael. I am not close to understanding all of this. Perhaps the infinite variation's of realties exist in a sort of static state and you animate them by shifting the focus of your consciousness to them. I would be very hesitant to believe other people do not have conscious awareness, experience and emotions just as you do. An infinite mind can imagine anything. You are only ever interacting with yourself, so when peoples behavior changes to your desires they are in agreement with it on another level of their awareness. What about the times when peoples behavior doesn't conform to someone's desire? You could say this implies they have a will just as you do.

@michaelcycle00 Interesting question Michael. One possibility is infinite parallel realties. An infinite consciousness can sub divide itself endlessly and create infinite sub minds in those realties. So, in one reality the woman falls in love with you, but there are endless other realities where different versions exist where she didn't. To me it doesn't negate other minds. That would only apply if you believe there is only one reality. I believe it's much more likely there are infinite realities.

@Fernanda I'm still trying to figure it all out, but I've had some experiences where I became aware I was living other lives parallel to my life as Matthew. It's difficult to wrap our minds around some of these concepts.

@Fernanda There are endless possibilities. We need to be open to one of them being our infinite consciousness is experiencing multiple lives simultaneously and blocking our awareness of all of them except ours.

@Fernanda Interesting post. An infinite mind can imagine anything, so that means the sub minds within your mind could be self aware, having emotions and experiences. It just means that if you stopped imagining them they wouldn't exist. I view it more as myself in another body. Just because you can't access their mind, emotions and perceptions from your limited consciousness doesn't mean they don't have them.

@Leo Gura Very true. I've had awakenings where I realize "of course I am God" "God is all there is" But the illusion of the limited finite self is so convincing, it's easy to fall back into the dream. But I haven't had as deep and as many awakenings as you.

@Matthew85 I would say we are always creating and manifesting whether we have realized we are God or not. It's just that most of us are creating unconsciously on auto-pilot versus consciously and deliberately.

@Asayake You're welcome! Gary E. Schwartz wrote an excellent book on synchronicities called Super Synchronicity. For manifesting look into the work of Frederick Dodson, Neville Goddard, Joe Dispenza and Ernest Holmes. I haven't posted much about my manifestations on the forum. Here is one I shared recently. On 5/9/2022 at 11:18 AM, Chrisd said: What did you manifest? @Chrisd Many things Chris. But one that really convinced me our waking reality is not what it appears was meeting a celebrity I admired. I never blindly accept information, so when I first began studying manifesting I decided to test it out. There was a celebrity I admired at the time and really wanted to meet, so I used some of the techniques I had learned to see if I could manifest meeting them. I have no connections to Hollywood or the entertainment industry and they were living thousands of miles away from me at the time, so this was an excellent test. I used the techniques for about three weeks and then forgot about it. Well, several months later through a series of events I had no conscious awareness of, I ended up meeting them in an almost identical way to what I had visualized. The odds of this happening were so astronomical, I had no doubt after that. I have manifested many other things, but that one was the one that convinced me reality isn't some fixed thing. It's very malleable.

The more your awareness expands the less you will be interested in arguing and debating with people.

@Asayake Yes you did. The synchronicities and manifestations were still occurring but you were obvious to them. In a sense you were creating lack of awareness. I think you had a degree of openness to the possibility which allowed you to become aware of it. When I first started learning about manifesting I was very doubtful, so I would constantly test it. Even after some mind-blowing experiences I still had doubts. I would think maybe it was just a coincidence, but eventually I manifested things that were so specific and the odds were astronomical that my doubts were dissolved.

@Asayake Exactly! It isn't real to people until they have their own direct experience of it. I use to doubt it too until I had experiences that were so mind-blowing they dissolved my doubts. Once you realize this, you will be much more mindful of your thoughts and what you are focusing your attention on. Anything you focus on will be amplified in your waking dream.

@Asayake Awesome synchronicity! Thank you for sharing it. I have had many similar experiences. They really blow your mind and make you aware that reality is not what it appears to be. I am still researching and trying to figure it out myself. Waking reality is a more stable consistent dream. Our thoughts and what we focus on are always showing up in our waking dream, but often there is a longer delay than a few hours, so we don't make the connection. Because it happened so soon after your ear training exercise with your friend, you made the connection. If it had happened a few days or weeks later, you probably would have overlooked it.
