Actually, we have to be more inquisitive if we do not agree with Leo. Getting his real communication should be our goal. Respectful disagreements should be a norm here on the forum - if we do not disagree, we can't learn. 100% I think we should start on a not-knowing position, going beyond language and past interpretations. Imagine you do not really know what IS a Self, Consciousness, Mind, Emotion, Body. When you read "Consciousness" - How are you doing this distinction? What do you think, feel, sense, imagine, postulate about it? What are your mental models to filter out spiritual knowledge? Actually, we do not know. We can't know. It is inconceivable to language/human mind. Apply this process to all your human knowledge. Food for thought.

Oral with condom is like Awakening without DMT. (war begins again. Sigh.)

Porn is more addictive than cocaine. Just do sex with a real partner. Period. Avoid porn and masturbation. If you really need to fap, do it alone with your own imagination or ask your partner to do it.

Mastery. It took a lot of work to do it - 10 years. Kudos to Ralston. The guy is almost 80 and working his ass off.

What you need to listen only direct consciousness can give you "access". I think I got what @UnbornTao is trying to point out. My opinion is that there is no teacher or teaching above Truth. He is persistent on that because you are taking teachers words rather than directly experience for yourself what is True/Absolute Consciousness. We all like Leo, his body of work and insights. Bear in mind that one day you will have to transcend Leo, Ralston, Wilber - and even psychedelics. In the end, you/we are all alone.

😉 On chapter 6, he starts to burn your fantasies 😂

Yeah. Start from chapter 18. If you're into lovy type of spirituality, I don't recommend reading the book. It will be hardcore. I'm already mad 😂 He will tell you everything that you don't want to know or experience as a self. This is all about Maturity, Growth, Absolute Consciousness, Truth and becoming a Real Adult.

It seems he is not filtering anything at all. It is punch after punch, burning your sense of self, reality, worldview, transcending death, breaking your illusions about what is self, life, death, other, Consciousness, God.

Update: If you are mentally ill, anxious, blackpilled, nihilistic, buckle up. It will burn your whole worldview. Everything. You will have to figure out and build a new life or new ways to relate to self, life, mind and consciousness from scratch. This is serious.

https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-sublimation-and-abstraction-of-survival We are doing this. This is one of the most subtle forms of survival. We are discussing what is the best way to be enlightened, how we get there, what is best, worse or who is the most awake teacher, practices, books. How sneaky survival is.

The thing is: it doesn't matter. You can't experience what I am experiencing. I can lie, manipulate, distort, gaslight you. You have to be at the source of your own enlightenments, judgements, perspectives, thoughts. Ralston, Leo, Spira, Adi Da, McKenna, Wilber - you will never know what it is to be like them or experience their own "Relative Consciousness" directly. We're still waiting to a teacher/practice to tell us what is best, right, wrong. If we are Absolute Consciousness, we can become directly conscious of that beyond any teacher, method or practice. We are making enlightenment about method, practice, teacher or teachings when it should be about enlightenment itself not how we get "there". Skin in the game is the only option.

I think these wars on "Sober Awakening x Psychedelics Awakening" is pure dick measure. Who is more awake than who? Which method is more effective? Are you awake? How would you know? You can't know. Even defending teachers, teachings and practices is unconscious behavior. In the end is YOU being conscious or not.

Appreciate!

I got that Scandinavian vibes. There is some kind of unique classy to Scandinavian people, pictures, food, lifestyle, beauty.

In the end you have to experiment/contemplate/decide for yourself, you are the only authority of your own experience/consciousness.

Movies couple vibes Great!!! Where do you live?

That's what he said I can't really talk about DMT/Psychedelics because I will never try them but I'm open to the possibility of this being true. It was just a way to communicate. Insert: (Practices, Doors, Ways, Teachings, Methods, Forms)

You guys are a bunch of enlightened Gigachads, DaMn Natasha is really cute, wife material

I think his point is that whatever you try as a method is only a road to Enlightenment. There are several roads but none of them can really "do it", only Consciousness itself. If I get Ralston's perspective correctly, Psychedelics can be extremely effective to put you on a fastlane road but it can't produce enlightenment.

Yeahhhh, absolute consciousness 😂 That is my real face:
