Sometimes you say things egoically but want people to assume the garb of truth.

Well they aren't going to suffer seeing short posts. I didn't mean any meanness to the user @Water by the River. I myself follow buddhism. And I'm grateful he talks about it here. Because Leo scoffs at Buddhist content calling it Buddhist rat and all. So it's refreshing to see someone having the balls to share content I'm interested in. I would like to pm you some time @Water by the Riverif you don't mind.

Have consideration for others as well instead of scapegoating. Will serve you good. As well as others. By the way he himself took my advice for which I'm grateful.

I don't deny that. But he often makes very long posts. He could have divided it into two posts for the sake of convenience. Some people here have trouble reading extra long posts. Have consideration please. Didn't deny the content of the post. But it could have been a bit presentable to the reader. Thanks. Also sentiments of others are valuable if you are going to be ohh so spiritual!!!

@Water by the River you mocked me. It shows you don't care about people. Which means your spirituality is not worth it. It's bull.

@Water by the River dude try to control the length of what you write. It's so hard to scroll through that. That's very frustrating. Can't you ever make shorter less cumbersome posts?

@Leo Gura you shouldn't go around calling others (especially highly revered and appreciated ones) as unawakened. It creates a bad impression amongst folks. It's repelling sort of. Yea people get it you did a lot of work, but so did other teachers and gurus too. They aren't simply wallowing shit. It gets frustrating when you repeatedly do this.

I think it depends more or less on the quality of consciousness. I consider Sadhguru as a very awakened being because he is consistent with his content, I never saw him say something that was in direct contradiction to reality, he is quite sharp and to the point, I would expect something like that from a highly awakened being, his composure is always consistent too. He could be a genetic freak for all I know, but an outstanding fact about Sadhguru that I never notice with the plethora of spiritual leaders out there, is that he has never played victim to the masses, never been antithetical to criticism no matter how harsh, always volunteering to teach people in the most compassionate thoughtful ways, I see this quality of him as outstandingly brilliant and exceptional. It's like the energy or vibration you feel simply feel in his presence, even through a screen, you can feel his energy has all encompassing rejuvenating compassionate and almost liberating. This I will consider as the quality of consciousness and since he has been consistent for years now, I'll call it a stage rather than just a temporary state. I'll call that awakening versus development.

Problem would be if you're stuck with that lower paradigm of always attuning yourself to the church practices and never wanting to try higher consciousness at all. It's like a body builder who goes to the gym simply to flex his muscles and no longer focuses on its benefits for health. It stops being a growth curve. You're only focused on muscles to the point you don't try running or other forms of beneficial exercises. When you make religion your guide and stick to it for too long, it can make you a religious fanatic or zealot and do the opposite - it can hinder your growth versus advance it, as is seen with traditional religious folks in many countries, they are stuck to their books and phrases, and they kinda become neurotic over time, it's a recipe for distress, because there's no creativity there, it stifles the mind, can even make you miserable, stuck up and dogmatic, you'll see this a lot with pastors from all religions, they seriously get too stuck and dogmatic.

It's not because of fixation. I simply use it to increase my focus. It's the most benign image I can find. Also I have always been watching Leo's videos. And these are exceptionally long videos. I have gotten so used to his videos, his face and gestures that this is the most familiar thing I find when I'm doing my work. I mean just imagine watching someone's videos since 2015/2016. Now that's a long time and so it's the most familiar face I find. If I put a picture of Sadhguru or Spira or Adyashanti, it wouldn't have the same effect since I am not so used to them. Now if I read @Razard86 posts everyday for years and get used to him, I might even use his picture during my trips. It's simply a matter of familiarity. Next is your turn @Razard86. Just joking .

I just hope you don't spend too much time on Instagram. That's a distraction.

My goals are confidential sorry. I cannot say that on a public platform. Spirituality can be a serious thing. Anyway, I agree with the rest of what you wrote. Have a nice day

You are too good to quit. Don't be paranoid about what people think. Most people are loyal to you to a fault. You just manufacture your own thoughts. You're on the right track and your quitting would be a big loss. Ignore haters. Your work means a lot and you already know that. Just take enough space and rest. Most people are waiting for your new content and are very patient with you about it.. Don't pressure yourself. But try to work smarter, I see that you exhaust yourself to the hilt. And this is your character to keep pushing yourself to the limit, as though you are in a hurry to catch the train. Find time for your own needs. Make your life simple and easy. You work like a workaholic. Tame it down. Your work is awesome, just don't push it hard. Keep slow and steady but keep going.

That's nice. You should also ask people what their specific spiritual goals are and it's perfectly ok if they don't align with yours. They're in the same stream. Your path is well suited to you. But actualized org is a whole continuum and not simply only your vision alone. That would be way too personal. This is an ocean and there's plenty to explore and take in. Of course your guidance is necessary but so our freedom.

You wouldn't and shouldn't recommend. But be patient. You shouldn't even object to others meandering and not being direct. Give them the space that you automatically gave yourself. If actualized org is your child, they are your children too. Any good parent is patient with their child meandering.

@Leo Gura why do you expect people to directly come to your awakening? If it took you so long (yourself), it might take them equally long to come to your understanding of awake. Of course you're expecting they might never come to that level even in their lifetime, but even if they do, it might take a long time. They obviously spend less time and effort than you do any time of the day.

Some of your earlier videos were based on buddhism and yoga. You have tapped into sacred texts from time to time early in your career. To negate it so blatantly would be biased of you. Sometimes you take a 180° turn. I even remember you talking about the Brahman and Indra in your holon video if I properly remember. That was 2 years ago.

And reality is brutal. Lol.

It's not that bad for a beginner.

Absolutely try it.

And why is God selfish?

Are there video tutorials and video resources?

Christianity will not allow to understand the limits of consciousness because consciousness is infinite and the beauty of infinite consciousness and esoteric understanding can not be found within religion. Certain religions do give you a taste of spirituality like Hinduism and Buddhism yet they just barely scratch the surface although it's a good start. Abrahamic relugins are a no no and a mockery of spiritual concepts.

Love should not be about testing one another but about cultivating trust. If you cannot trust you cannot love. If you cannot love, you cannot be loyal.

Right now from whatever I know, there's a huge connection between snake and kundalinis and I'm exploring that. Nag panchami.
