I've taken quite some time to study many spiritual teachers and these are my conclusions about Leo (although I could be wrong). For baseline state of consciousness (meaning everyday awareness) Leo is slightly above average for what is expected of a serious spiritual teacher (the category of people who make of this path their full time job). In this category many of his contemporaries surpass him greatly, like let's say, Frank Yang. For peak states of consciousness (meaning how far have you reached towards the most mystical, trans-human, Infinite and Godly Awakenings), Leo is the Goat. I haven't seen any records going at the length and breadth of the Awakenings described in Actualized.org, with a key focus on how integral, multifaceted, radical and holistic they are. The only reasonable thing to be objected here is that he has awaken to all popular facets and even pioneered new ones, except for Cessation. Leo has not had the Cessation type of Awakening, for what he has publicly reported so far. This is due primarily because the methodologies he uses are mainly incapable of producing that very specific type of Awakening, in the same way that some types of Awakenings can only be reached through psychedelics.

Why is Omnipotence harder to realize than Omnipresence and Omniscience? I've noticed an asymmetry in my Awakenings regarding these 3 axis. For example, I'm aware right now that the nature of existence, my very own nature, is to be Omnipresent, a oneness manifested through difference; it's not perceived as a rarified state but as what Reality is. Moving up, we have Omniscience which is a hard Awakening to have but still it has happened and continues to do once in a while. To be fully Awake and to understand in a perfectly delicious strangeloopy flash all of Reality. However, with Omnipotence development has been modest, to say the least. In that regard it has been more on the mechanics of how Powerful Reality is to self-generate and the intrinsic ultimate authority of being God, rather than being in full control and driving the vehicle of Reality itself so to speak. I'm just curious about this asymmetry and wanted to share it.

@Ramanujan It must be very hard brother. Hopefully one day you get high quality meaningful connection with men and women.

I think there’s some conflation between ego development and personality traits in this thread. While the two are certainly related in some ways, they are generally treated as distinct constructs in psychology. This is important because traits such as humility, assertiveness, conscientiousness, or openness shouldn't be used as proxies for someone's level of ego development. There are relationships between personality and developmental maturity, but they aren't strong or consistent enough to infer one from the other with much accuracy. In fact, personality traits tend to show considerable stability across adulthood. What can change substantially with maturation is not necessarily the underlying trait itself, but the way a person understands, integrates, and relates to that trait.

That's metaphysically accurate. However what is realized in such higher states of consciousness is usually reinterpreted wrongly from the human frame, ending in wishful, magical and mythical thinking. Then you start believing that maybe Jesus did walk on water because you realize that is technically possible and that Muhammed did cut the moon in half and rejoined it, depending on your background, etc. This is a trap I've just become aware, the higher levels of consciousness opened my mind so much that irrational and mythical allegories seemed much more plausible than what they actually and most probably are.

Are you saying that wrong self-assessment is the problem or that you shouldn't assess where you are based on psychological models? If it's the former I agree, if it's the latter I don't.

Books are quite time consuming and I got mid-to-low value for the huge amount of focused time and energy spent. I've transitioned to audiobooks for 80% of my input. I still do 20% reading for dense books that are worthy of my full dedicated time. Sharing this in case you've felt stuck in your reading habits and want something to speed it up. I'm using audible, tried a few before but I'm finally sticking with that one.

@bazera I have Kobo, so good so far. I do it all via cable, it's old school but I chose it like this because I know it would always work. Also because I wanted to read books for free, which is a decision I'm not proud of but has offered overwhelming ROI.

Reality is the Living God.

Certainly what someone who has never Awoken to Perfection or Authority would say. I'm gonna be plain and direct, there is an Awakening were you Realize that Reality is Absolutely Perfect and that day your whole life will be changed forever. I cried for hours, I thought I was gonna die of Love, those levels of Infinite Perfection are among the most exquisites and you can't come and shit in them and delude other people into thinking that is a conceptual mind game. You don't know what you are talking about, you are playing within invisible limitations within your consciousness work, push yourself to the edge again and again and again and again and see what happens: your life will be transformed forever and you will share it and someone will shit on it. It's the arrogance to say what Awakening can or cannot be, like have you ended the path, can you absolutistically close Reality, if only that tells that Infinity hasn't been Realized that the nature of God, of existence is not seen with the humbleness that in every moment you can be hit with such a monstrous Awakening that you thought you were at the end but you realise you are just starting.

@Hello1 How are u doing? Any updates?

Plugging, lasts twice as 5meodmt. There's also a whole video talking on the substance:

There's a saying in my country: "It never rains to everyone’s taste.”

@Leo Gura I hope we have a Halloween special this year, it's sometimes the little things that make us happy.

Always partially, I haven't even gotten to that first loop of fully realizing Omnipotence, it comes tangentially with Awakenings on the nature of limits, solipsism, authority, truth, Infinity and God.

I see, it might be the same with the Love Awakening that it took me so many years of work to have that proper facet in its full glory. I find it hard although to see myself walking on Omnipotence but I'm perfectly aware of my presence everywhere quite easily. That shifts the angle of inquiry to why I personal struggle with owning my power as God. In your video of a Poetic Description of God-Realization you talk about Omnipotence in a very profound way, I'm quite inspired by that. We'll see how my journey unfolds.

Don't be childish, that's rookie levels of Awakenings. I'm way over that years ago.

Please don't conflate absolute truths with relative truths, you're amazing with the firsts but sloppy with the seconds. We've talked about this plenty of times but you keep deconstruct everything into absolutist conscious which backfires your intelligence in human domains and the dream.

I've realised Solipsism so deep that I when I stared at someone's eyes I could only see myself looping for Infinity.

Yes, I see. I got the big picture of Solipsism, still working a few details out. Maybe that is preventing Omnipotence. I'll try it through that angle in my next trip. Thanks for your advice, it has been very helpful. It has been quite some time since we last talked brother.

What is the realization of the Creator? How was that Awakening for you?

Yes, I see. It hasn't precipitated for the moment, but it all leads me to that.

I disagree with that, it assumes One is above Infinite but both cocreate each other. It's an advanced trap, the truth is: One is not prior to Infinity/multiplicty or more fundamental than it, both are always already the case and must always coexist as core mechanisms of Reality.
