I can throw that back to you and say the same thing about psychedelics It seems that enlightenment is rare irrespective of method.

If you have mental diarrhea and monkeys jumping around them sure. His methods work for many thats why its still around.

That's why you need to self-teach. Of course humans corrupt the original teaching. Buddha never said to belive in stuff, not even in him. He gave you methods and you were the one to confirm if what he is saying is true or not.

The great thing about Buddhism is that theres no priest. Theres no middleman and theres no one to believe. Buddha made sure to say in his sutras that everything is your responsability and to allude to no bearded man in the sky. Not even the concept of soul exist in Buddhism, while in Jainism and Hinduism it exist. You and reality is a direct process, no beliefs.

Especially the 3 abraahamic ones: Cristianity, Judaism, and Islam. This 3 religions are so full of shit that one should be better of avoiding them altogether if one were to be really efficient.

True religion is not a new concept. Osho was saying those things too in his days. It's basically non-ideological truth seeking.

Replace war with conflict and you are correct.

It was NOT intentional though. Not a shocking zen master move but his unconsciousness leaking hard.

Lust overwrites anything, it can give you that passion. A lustful creature is a dangerous thing

More like sex machine awakening

Poor mans ufo rooms lmao

Its good that Leo said from the beginning that he could be full of shit, so this doesnt look too awful Also I expect 100 plus replies from this thread, its gonna be gooood shiiiit Lastly, I still want my infinite harem awakening

Not war, but conflit. There can exist conflict without war, but there cannot exist war without conflict. War is just an ugly escalation of conflict. It's an unconscious behaviour driven by unconscious egos. I agree that without conflict probably life wouldn't exist because form is limited in its ways and understading, but war is not a necessary phenomenon at all when it comes to humans.

yeah

@YIDIRYIDIR I think stuff just get lost in translation. Meditation, nirvana, samadhi, consciousness, this things cannot be translated because of their experiential and subjective nature. So you can imagine how hard it is to transfer that to other languages. Especially languages as dry and stale as English. There's no accurate translation to meditation anywhere for example, because it is an activity beyond mind.

Yeah, Leo invented the conformist/nonconformist thing. Just like he invented awakening and non-duality.

@UnbornTao Preach

Because behaving is for losers and conformists. Rules are meant to be broken!

In my case it works because we really love each other beyond sex and physical attraction. it didnt work for reasons I wont go into but true love doesnt fade.

Yes, and this is included in that right, how do you know what you just wrote is true or not? Given that context nobody means nobody, means all, no exception. Unless you wanna change the meaning of words lol.

You next sentence still mean nobody knows shit. Everbody is just exchanging their opinions as far as you're concerned.

How can "NOBODY TRULY KNOWS WTF HE/SHE IS TALKING ABOUT." not be a liar paradox? It is literally the same thing. And also, how can you not derive a contradiction from this? It is a contradiction precisely because its a liar paradox. You cannot remove the person talking about it and at the same time say "Nobody". The person talking must be included in the "nobody" and therefore it is a liar paradox.

Probably just one true friend, and she is my ex-girlfriend.

Bump this. Want to say that this is huge, and everyone should develop full body-awareness at all times. I've been on a practice that helps one feel every part of the body simultaneously and the results are crazy. One should really be increasing senstivity in this work. I would argue most people are half-dead: they are touching things but they are not feeling anything -- their hands are dead. Eating things but not really tasting it. They are looking at things, but not really seeing. They are hearing things but not listening. People are half-dead, no senstivity at all, they are just talking heads, body dead. One should ideally be doing abstraction while simultaneously feeling everything in their experience and body.

@Leo Gura I found your new job in the next life, it goes like this: Selling infinite(x) awakening by the river
