When I was a child, 4-7 y.o. I would sometimes experience moments where I was one with reality. Looking back perhaps it was moments of becoming fully conscious. Whatever it was it was a state of absolute perfection that I'll never forget. Many experiences of Daja Vu also up to the age of 10 then they became more infrequent over time.

That's exactly what I meant.

@Princess ArabiaYea right. See my edit*

@Princess Arabia They are not two. Self and other (reality) arise mutually. *Who or what said that?

Nisargadatta quote: "There is no such thing as the experience of reality" Makes most go Humm....Say what? *Infinite imagination may be the best way to describe the experience of reality.

@The Crocodile That's what I love about both Don Juan and Leo. They use the brutal honesty like a laser to cut through the B.S.

@Misato Katsuragi You saw through the illusion of the ego, and the ego didn't like it. But in that moment, you were more awake, more alive than you have ever been. For the first time you weren't sleepwalking through life behind the eyes of the ego. “I cannot be awake, for nothing looks to me as it did before, or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been sleep.” ― Walt Whitman

Early on there was a like/dislike feature but it was often used as a weapon between Low-C members who didn't get along.

@Joshe Maybe you can find some insight in these words by Steve Jobs before his death....... "I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others' eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of God of death drawing closer ... Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth ... Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone's heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love. That's the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands. What is the most expensive bed in the world? Sick bed ... You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost — Life. When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading — Book of Healthy Life. Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others." Steve's final words were monosyllables, repeated three times. OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW. * So, in the end it is Love that matters most. A life full of Love is a life well spent.

Connor Murphy got another documentary made on him with more Leo namedrops Obviously for free promotion. That's not what we're here for. This topic is locked.

I don't know. Time and space would have to be infinite. Is it? * It really doesn't matter. It's still just as valid.

Pure awareness is the potential for all things regardless of whether they are manifest or not. At that level of awareness, a red triangle riding a camel through a green tunnel is just as valid as a blue sky with puffy white clouds on a sunny day.

Leo- Yes, that's a great spiritual exercise to do. @Something Funny@Leo Gura Don't allow their karma to become your karma.

From the movie Dune, Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam questioning Paul Atreides Q: How do you see future events before they happen? A: I have visions. Q: Do all your visions come true? A: No. But I know which ones will. * I've never forgotten that scene because it's so accurate.

Why does a round pizza come in a square box and cut into triangles?
