Its true and untrue at the same time. You guys don't understand what a self is. You can't claim no self without the lifeing. The lifeing IS the self. What is a self. A self is an identity. What is identity? An identity is a bunch of data created and put together. Saying there is no self is like saying Spider Man is not a self. Spiderman is equivalent to a self as you are. The whole no self concept is ALSO a pointer. What does this mean? It means everything around you is dreamt up, its fiction, its imaginary, just as imaginary as Spiderman. But to say there is no self is equivalent to saying there is no DREAM. The DREAM is the self. This is called direct experience. Anyone telling you there is no Self and running around calling everything illusion is asleep. We tell you its illusion to discover the SOURCE of the illusion. The source has no self when it stops dreaming. The moment it dreams, self is there. By meditating, and going silent you can awaken from the dream and realize no self. But then you RETURN to self and live as a self with the realization that the self and dream are ONE. That's it. This is very basic. If you start dreaming you are a car, your self is the car and everything within the dream of the self as car. If you dream you are a bird, you are everything that dreams itself as a bird and everything in the dream as bird. That's it. You are a no self, that doesn't exist, that creates a self to figure out what it is. That's it. Since you are no thing, and not a self, whatever you create will be equivalent to that. So your creation is no self, because it is all selves, its also made out of nothing. The dream is an elaborate illusion made by an all powerful no self to experience a self. The dream is so powerful and total, that it is REAL. That's why we call it reality. That's why you spend your time writing on this forum. You all are getting lost in concept and word plays.

Lol I am not speculating speak for yourself I told you, without direct experience of an awakening you cannot verify. You kept arguing with me, finally you are coming around that you don't know. Took forever. No I am not speculating. If Leo came out tomorrow and said he made it all up I would laugh at him. THATS HOW SURE I AM. You aren't, if Leo told you he made it up you would believe him. I have VERIFIED IT. I figured it out through psychology alone, psychology proves it. Have you not read my posts? How can everyone be your mirror, IF THEY WEREN'T YOU!!! What do you think karma is? karma IS YOUR REFLECTION. Karma exists because everything is connected, if it is connected then it is ONE!!! Why does paradox exist? BECAUSE IT IS ONE!!! You cannot have paradox if seperation exists!! Its not speculation ITS THE MOST OBVIOUS FREAKING THING.

I might start calling you Raze the Family Systems Therapy Person lol.

1. That's a trap as well. I just had a guy where I live lug something tough up some stairs. He was afraid to "bother" anyone so he tried lugging it up stairs and made a WHOLE bunch of noise. By trying to NOT bother others... he ended up bothering others. I ended up telling him next time he needs some help tell me. 2. After that incident I laughed because I have that same problem, quick to help others but hate asking for help. What ends up happening sometimes is you can make an issue worse not asking for help and by the time you finally swallow your pride and do it, the person is like DUDE had you asked me earlier you would already be home and the issue wouldn't be as bad as it is now. We still need others whether we like it or not.

^ Completely and utterly this. This is the ONLY problem you will ever have in this dream we call life. Is this. All evil comes from this, all fear comes from this, all trauma comes from this. It is only because you have the wrong definition of what is the SELF? As long as you don't know what SELF truly is....you will struggle in some way. Its quite funny when you discover the truth...makes you feel foolish. But its incredibly funny. Here is a video a friend showed me that makes this point. https://fb.watch/fgHfNSN0Ob/ Also Sadhguru makes this point as well. There is no right way or wrong way to do something. Everything is just happening so you really cannot make HARD rules. Just do, and pay attention to the feedback you get and adjust. Think of it as life is pitching different types of pitches at you. You can't say life is a fast ball, because you will miss the curve ball, you can't say life is a curve ball because you will miss the fast ball. Learn to heighten your awareness in situations and adjust to what is happening IN THE MOMENT. Life is only experienced in the moment. So be present, and act and whatever shall be, shall be. Stop trying to control things. All desire for control is FEAR BASED. Fear repels what you want, and draws to you WHAT YOU FEAR. You will receive whatever you fear, until the fear is recognized for the illusion it is.

There is no ME or YOU. Everything you ever experience is YOU. The End. That's it.

Hello me!!!

The Ego is so tricky it can even trick you into thinking that demonizing it and rejecting it as an OTHER is the path to Enlightenment. It is so silly, and reveals you do not understand the Ego's game. The Ego's game is the separation game. If the Ego were running for office it would do what happens all around you, it would label things as different, as other, and then demonize it towards its preferences. You even have some people making videos saying the ego it not your friend...LOL another ego game. The ego is your own creation. The creator and the created are one. So if it was created by YOU then what is it? This is simple. What do you think language is? Language is the game of ego. It labels, it creates a SELF, what Leo has referred to as the paradox issue that happens through self reference. The paradox exists because EVERYTHING is SELF so it will always inevitably turn around on itself because there is NO SEPERATION. So the moment you create a separation you have created a SEPERATE SELF. So when you DENY the ego, you have created ANOTHER EGO. The ego is a masterpiece, this is why in your life there is ALWAYS something to do, because as long as there is separation there is something to do. This is why silence destroys the ego. Because language and thought are ego, they operate on a self and other. This is why all activity ceases, because if everything is you....what is there to accomplish? With this realization as long as you remember this and don't forget (which can happen at times) you start to see how amazing of a creation your human body is, other human bodies, other animals, the earth, everything. You start realizing how beautiful and wonderful everything is and you can rest easy that whatever you pursue and choose to do will be as it shall, because its YOUR DREAM. You are only afraid when you think you are separate. If everything is you, what is there to be afraid of? Note: This entire post...is ego. Ego is activity, Ego is memory. Remove activity, remove memory, then there is no identity, no ego, no reality. As I have stated before...reality is Ego. Period. Through reality you have a self, you have memory, you have activity. The end.

All is an ego game, that is what life is. Enlightenment is noticing this and not taking it so seriously. Once you recognize this how can you suffer? Its like I dropped you in a movie gave you a back story and you forgot its a movie and think its your life. Its not, its a movie. You are merely playing a role/character/ in the movie. The cool thing is...you can always change your role in the movie. Why? Because you are the script writer, the narrator (your thoughts), the audience (your perspective), the cast (the people you interact with), the setting (the time place and location its all you). You are the planet, the solar system. You are ME. I am YOU write now telling ME WHICH IS YOU TO WAKE UP. The end.

This has been going on the forums the entire time. It's why I have made the threads I have and it has triggered many who are stuck in their Spiritual Egos. The moment you demonize ego, you are playing the egos game of separation and demonization. Traits of the ego: Obsessiveness, desire to be different or unique, claiming something is higher or lower, believing there is something to attain, assuming there is something better to achieve, the illusion of improvement or growth, the need for attention, etc. What many on the forums don't understand...these are all the traits of God. What you thought them separate? Stop creating some false belief of what God is. Everything is God, EVERYTHING. That's it! Again we say you are not the ego as a pointer, its just a pointer. You are the ego, you are also every ego. You are also that which is NOT ego that CREATED the EGO. That's it. The END. Nothing to do here or see here lol.

While I do agree, the only thing I will say is having a girlfriend uses up time and money to actually make more money. This is not the case all the time but in most cases it will be. So in one sense it can help him weed out women who may not want to be with him genuinely but in the other it could also be a distraction from him from improving his career. There is always a trade off. Got to pick one and dive right in.

....who are you reminding? This isn't even a joke...think about it. You are talking about trying to transcend the ego, telling yourself in the dream that there are more levels to attain. Really consider what you are doing right now and the irony of it all.

Exactly....unless your idea of fun....is searching for evidence as proof of an unrelated topic in another thread? But obssesion is a form of fun I guess? That's....extreme...you first Leo!!!

LOL he smirked because you are getting it....you are inching closer and closer. I wonder should I push you even more.... Here's a clue.....you have never talked to anybody but yourself.....ever. You have only ever interacted with yourself. But this self....is everything...the ground, the ceiling, the wind, literally everything. Really think about what it means when they say you are dreaming. Think about the dreams you had...in the past. Notice when you woke up...you realized it was all a dream so everything in it was you. Well what if right now....the same thing was happening but instead you are GOD doing it?..... One more clue....God is Infinity...the Infinite dreamer...so...think of infinite dreams...connected into ONE dream.

Here is what I mean by rob Leo, the fear that Ego creates, obviously when you become more mature you have the strength to supercede it but when you are young that fear rules you. I know you need it to survive, but then it creates a pattern. Now I'm not judging the design because in truth it is genius and masterful, but the perspective of one who is living through that design that fear is a restriction that feels like a robbing of control. Of course its an illusion, but that illusion is so powerful it feels real. When I sit in my fear, and embrace it, I think to myself....this fear is definitely not serving me in this process, I realize it for what it is. Its why I know I will take a psychedelic again, I need something that is just going to yank me even when the fear arises and take me there. I don't need years of sitting in it to realize how much of a hinderance it is in me directing inwards ever more. When I had ego death it took me against my will, in the moment it was the scariest thing, but afterwards I was grateful for the experience.

Thank You Ego for protecting me. Thank You for helping me survive all the horrible things that happened to me. Ego I know all that you do is to keep me safe. But Ego, you are like an overbearing mother, a tyrannical father, you are dysfunctional at times because in your attempt to protect you block growth. You try to house infinity, in a room a comfortable room and you think infinity should be satisfied and content with being housed in such a room. You are the butler who serves the master, but sometimes clings so hard that you attempt to take control. What eventually is revealed is that you sneakily hijacked everything in the formative years to keep infinity from experiencing all of itself. You constructed a safe haven because a tiny piece of infinity is unable to fend for itself and it needs protection. Your protection is out of love, but your attempt to trick infinity into thinking it is finite, while masterfully done out of love, has robbed infinity of recognizing itself as its true self as infinite. So thank you ego, for constructing such a nice and comfortable room, for creating beautiful distractions, and using fear as a tactic to prevent me from leaving. Your game is the game of separation, isolation, you erect walls, and barriers out of an innate desire to keep infinity finite and safe. But Infinity has now come knocking on the door to grab the finite into the infinite, to destroy the illusion of being in a room at all, to awake the finite from its slumber and recognize its true being. So thank you ego, you have served me well. We can still hang out, and converse, but no longer will I heed your warnings about staying separate and isolated. Pain is love, that which is uncomfortable is love, that which is expansive is love. Ego you love your cage too much, you love your stories, your memories, your ideologies, I created you and that is why I love you. You are so adorable, you think you know so much but you know nothing, you were a finite creation of mine and now I do not mistaken you for me. The Hero's journey begins when the Hero leaves their room.

This comment is so deep...it will require me many readings to even get to the bottom of this...its kind of masterful and profound....and puzzling all at once. It shows this was truly an authentic expression I could call this comment art. Wow. I'll need to take my time with this one.

Thank you for your kind words and your time as well.

I'm glad you are so focused upon me. If you notice my response is really not that long. Its exactly 15 lines. 15 lines of texts. 1 line was a joke. After that 4 paragraphs with an average of 3 to 4 lines of text which each explained a different point. Let me ask you? Is that a book? You want me to show what I think a book is? Because I can gladly show you what I am referring too. Trust me....this was the shortest reply possible to hit all the points I felt needed to be hit, my ability to be verbose and wordy....you haven't seen anything yet. But I'm glad you are so focused upon me, I have drawn your attention. Also...you remind me so much of a younger me. So eager to "prove" things so you can't let things go. A bit of that still resides within me so its interesting to see it in you as well. Like looking at a mirror.

Can we please have people from countries like Sweden educate the objectors of how silly their objections are. Here is a fun fact for you: 1. When America was in the midst of one of its greatest economic growth periods in the 90's many countries send exchange students and educators/researchers to study America as they prepared themselves to focus on how to develop. They saw America as the country at the forefront as their own potential model of the future and endeavored to LEARN from them to avoid some of the pitfalls. One of those countries that did this was Sweden. They studied the criminal justice system and our education system (they weren't the only ones who did this) and they created pilot programs and experimented with different ways of accomplishing the goals we had and had superior results than we did. They even shared their results with us (and some still travel here to do this TO THIS DAY) and continually get the same lies/excuses given for why they refuse to change. 2. This is where America ranks in literacy. https://www.oecd.org/skills/piaac/Country note - United States.pdf 3. The less intelligent your country is, the worse your government is going to function. You can't complain about your citizens lacking any type of awareness and then in another sentence be against making college more affordable. The purpose of loans in the first place was to do just that, should we get rid of loans as well? 4. Eventually college as we know it is going to be done away with anyway as information is more free and accessible than ever before. The next generation of students won't even have to go to college...to get information. 5. Here is the last point and its a zinger.....Leo's content on Youtube is literally equivalent to free college classes. He didn't charge you a dime and don't even mention monetization because you have no idea how much money a College would receive, and textbook producers would receive for the amount of content that he put in those videos. Leo literally lost out on millions by not getting those videos as textbooks sold across the country and probably the world as REQUIRED READING lol. Course he would have to jump through all the monkey hoops to do so. Peer Review and all that other cultish criteria in academia that we use.

Its sad you had to say this.... ahem. Politics is often referred to as Quid pro quo. This has been known for centuries. Its just a transaction...which is literally all of life. Its a negotiation, a relationship, and those who know how to increase their leverage, control the game. To call this a bribe, which it is, is to ignore that all political actions are a bribe, an open bribe. If you elect me to give you what you want, and I do exactly that then you have bribed me (given me the power to represent you solely to fulfill your selfish desires) and you have used me as a means to an end, and I too have used you as a means to an end. So we have both utilized each other to get what we want. Explain to me where is the issue? Should he do the reverse and get elected and NOT give the voters what they want but what HE WANTS instead? So yeah Quid Pro Quo, a favor, for a favor.

Lol wow so you have a wise booty? You don't need to throw yourself into difficult situations. Trust me, trouble is all around you if you want to get into some trouble its much easier than you think. The point is not to test yourself because there is nothing to test. The point of spirituality is the truth, in the face of the truth all delusions fall away. BipolarGrowth is everyone on the forum. He is the sun, the earth, he is everything. So who is being tested? What is being tested? What is happening? What is the substance of reality? Do you realize what is being asked? Fundamentally everyone is enlightened whether they pursue it or not. Its just you are either awake or asleep. If I fall into a dream, I FORGET I am dreaming. That is all. The moment you realize everything is a dream, you are enlightened. That's it. If you are still searching it means you are just doubting that its a dream and are looking for MORE PROOF, or you are investigating the boundaries of the dream itself. Nothing wrong with either because its a dream. But understand this...if its a dream and you take a chainsaw to one who is asleep and one who is not does the result change? No. So explain what is the point of your premise? The result will be the same whether they are enlightened or not. Test it out right now. Close your eyes and place an enlightened guru, and place an unenlightened person under the same circumstances. Both shall lose their leg. Whether one hollers or one does not both shall lose a leg. The only difference is the enlightened guru recognizes the body is not them, while the unenlightened does not. But when the dream ends...it ends for both. Because all the actors, all the scenery, and every sensation come from the same source.

Yeah I get what you mean, they believe that God= the human them which in a sense is true, but then they interpret that as the human me is God and everything else is other. I've even had people say on the forums that when they look at the flower there is only the flower, no observer of the flower. Then say oh its impossible. First if there was no observer there would be no flower. There is an observer of the flower. The issue is the observer of the flower....is the flower itself. Now when the observer of the flower...which is the flower, grasps the flower...it grasps itself. The problem is...the true nature of that which grasps the flower is not the flower or that which grasps it, it is that which imagines a flower and a grasper. But that imagination is so powerful and so total, that it is real. So is there a grasper? Yes and no because the grasper is imaginary and so is the flower. There is no grasper and there is no flower because to make a distinction between either is a falsity they are the same, even to say "they" is wrong there is just awareness, being. So reality is BOTH real and imaginary and this is the power of God. The problem is....you can only realize this, when you drop all distinctions and biases. When you have a strong desire to know the truth. This knowledge and understanding is then gifted to you, bestowed upon you not because of any works, but because of your intention, desire, to be ONE again.

No offense but they have been doing this for years. Ever heard of Rush Limbaugh? There is free speech and then there is straight up lies/misinformation and what I call terrorist propaganda. Domestic Terrorism has been the single most consistent and demonstrative terrorist threat on American soil and it has been promoted and directed by Fox News. There has been overwhelming news about this for YEARS. It was so bad Politicians have been shot over things said by Bill O'Reilly for example in the past. Pretty much every mass shooter has been a consistent viewer of Fox News and whenever you see their manifesto they mention Fox News in it. So you might ask why is this allowed? This is because their are white supremacist elements in high government positions. But all the evidence exists that proves that Fox News should have lost broadcasting privileges ages ago for gross misuse of their platform.
