@Leo Gura whats your thought on meditation/practices leading to different states of consciousness? such as the buddhist No-Self route vs the hindu big Self route? it seems the buddhist claim to go "further" than the hindus, in the sense that they disidentify from the big Self, or Brahman, and thats sort of the end of the route for the buddhist practicioner. However the hindu way seems way more alligned with your teachings, in the sense that the hindu aim for Brahman, the big Self, and then they deepen their relationship with the big self, which seemingly can go on to infinity. I think the hindu method might be more alligned with what you refer to as "high consciousness", where as the buddhists are more focused on ending suffering through negation of all identifications. the term mahasamahdi i believe is when someone approaches what u describe as near formless total infinity. notice that this a hindu term, and not really spoken of within buddhism

check out this one too. dude literally descripes yogic himalayan experimentation with intentional temporary physical death experiences lasting up to 15 minutes.

so ive been doing consciousness work for the better part of 3 years, and have had multiple awakenings so far, but recently had my most intense sober awakening, to that of immortality. for a long time i've been consumed with the question death, existence and non-existence. and then it was crystal clear. it wasnt intellectual, it wasnt a thought, it wasnt in reference to any previous experience, or any quote or teaching by spiritual masters. it was just a "knowing". a very distinct knowing, i looked at my hand, and i broke out in laughter, laughing for 30 minutes straight at my own fear of death. i spent so much time worrying about non existence and death. and it was so hilarious that i'd been so ignorant . it was so clear to me. Of course I'm eternal lol, eternity is simply what is. existence / experience is simply the apperance of eternity. we are in eternity right now, how could it be any different? eternity is the case before, during and after human life. there is no difference

in support of the argument against the "natural" state: this person claims she reached the "natty state" as refered to by frank, and while her experience sounds similar to franks', its also vastly different, claiming she encounters entities, out of body experiences, feeling peoples emotions etc. what i dont like about frank yang is that he somewhat attempts to invalidate all former states of consciousness, (god, awareness, brahman) as totally invalid and mere side quests on the way to the "natural state", as if the natural state is the only true realization

thats trippy

saw a couple of his videos, he seems like a complete lad

who is this guy?

well certain schools of buddhism reject the idea of "an absolute", or the idea of Brahman. I may be misinterpreting things, but the buddhist concept of "anatman" or no Self seem to contradict a lot of what other spiritual traditions talk about. The idea of transcending the "brahman" or the universal Self.

If our consciousness really goes to another "place", or at least leaves the body or the mind during cases such as near death experiences, people who have clincially died, DMT breakthroughs, deep god consciousness states etc, my question is this; isnt it illogical that the brain remembers these experiences, if they didnt take place within the brain? Afterall memories are stored in the brain as a result of experiences of the brain, thats at least my understanding. I have a hard time making sense of this. people who have clinically died reports remembering what happened during the time they were dead. people who report their soul leaving their body and going to another dimension doing DMT trips remembers what happens, even through the experience allegedely takes place in a completely different reality Now I am aware that it is extremely commonly reported that people have very vague memories of these experience, sort of like trying to remember a dream. its a very weak memory most of the time. however what im saying is that if our consciousness does truly leave the mind/body, the brain should have no recollection of the experience whatsoever after the experience ends a possible solution is that the brain is a transmitor that can tune into different frequencies, thus creating a bridge between the experiences and the brain. this does however not answer the question of people who have clinically died. another solution is that "consciousness" is capable of carrying memory / information. whats your thoughts on this?

first off i wanna say that im a great admirer of your work. however one thing i've been thinking a lot about is the matter of sleep / unconsciousness. if consciousness is literally the fabric of reality, and not something generated in my brain, how is unconsciousness like sleep possible? furthermore, there must be some correlation between the brain and consciousness, since if for example I take a hard punch to the head, i can lose consciousness. ive been thinking about this quite a lot, one solution is that if consciousness can scale up infinitely, it must also be able to scale down infinitely, hence something like sleep / unconsciousness. I've also been considering; am i even truly unconscious when I'm asleep? when I wake up, i'm quite clearly able to conclude whether or not my sleep has been good or bad. hence there must still be something observing during deep sleep? or maybe I simply judge the quality of my sleep in contrast to my waking conscious state? Another thought I've had is that sleep never happens since its not observed. but would it then be possible to sleep and never wake up? i guess regardless of one sleeping 1 hour or a 100 years would feel the same, since the notion of time does not exist during sleep. I believe you said in one of your videos that sleep happens because one is identified with the body. however im not sure what you mean by "identified", and how this answers the question of unconsciousness.

yea i like him

cool man. i kinda like the idea that we dream all the time during sleep but just dont remember it

@Razard86 well frank yang says there is a realization beyond god realization, which cant be achieved through psychedelics, and that this realization debunks god realization and eternal consciousness. thats a pretty rough contrast to leo EDIT;

what do u all think about him claiming to debunk basically everything leo talks about? saying that god realization and consciousness are just mental fabrications

wtf is alien consciousness? heard it mentioned on this forum a couple of times now

i also really love sadhguru. however i found a contrast between his a leo's teachings - sadhguru stated a couple of times now, that god is NOT love? that it is rather an intelligence. this kinda shocked me, since i usually resonate hard with basically everything sadhguru says, and his and leos teaching are basically alligned all the way. the way i see it there are a couple of possibilities. he could be holding the information back in order to maintain his reputation, which he has done before, such as for example that he doesnt really want to share his knowledge in regards to alien species. he could be talking about god in its state of nothingness, which as I understand it is completely devoid of all qualities, including love. It is also possible that he has not realized the infinite love of god? which to me seems a bit implausible, since the dude seems conscious as fuck. or we are just all fucking deluded heheh ofc not. i would like to hear leos input on this, since ive also heard him talking positively about sadhguru in the past. link to sadhguru saying god is not love;

literally title. yes there is suffering, wars, famine poverty. and that is part of the fucking perfection. you decide you dont like it. that doesnt mean its not perfect. start identifying with reality instead of your mind to become unfathomable perfection. its literally unfathomable to the human mind how fucking pixel perfect existence is. its so jaw dropping smooth and precisely engineered, what the literal fuck man. WHAT THE FUCK!"!!

in the sense that every single thing in existence performs its designed duty to absolute perfection. the purpose of a cancer cell is to be a cancer cell. the purpose of genetic mutations are to genetically mutate. My fingers reacting instantaniously to the signals from my brain telling them to hit the buttons on my keyboard. My fingers not reacting instantaniously to the signals from my brain, if a link in the chain of events is broken. fire is always fire. water is always water. earth is always earth. all things coherently dynamincally adapting from moment to moment. i mean its literally impossible to put into words, ive only begun to realize how little im capable of fathoming the genius of existence, its so fucking mindblowing and otherworldly. and its not just like reality is a photography, a painting or a movie, you are a fucking part of it, constantly influencing and manipulating it. simply that existence is able to be should be enough to baffle you. simply that it is able to be speaks to the absolut objective perfection that it is. you can literally not find one instance of reality that is faulty, it is completely without mistakes. literally 0 bugs or glitches, its fucking flawless man lol. no one ever sat in their living room and had a gorilla pop up out of nowhere. no one ever cut themselves on a blunt object. the rules of reality are perfection

yea i guess so lol. my point was more so that our thoughts can act as filters on top of physical reality, which can make it seem not perfect

you dont understand my point. the overarching design that allows existence to flow perfectly from moment to moment is absolute perfection. im not talking about perfection or bliss from a human point of view, but rather existence as an objective entity. it is utterly flawless, total alien in level of design and harmony.

i just had a god realization on ayahuasca. i promise you everything is infinitely perfect. god is not lonely lol. god is definetely not bored lol. i love you all to infinity

title pretty much sums it up. personally ive experienced a telepathic form of communication. My mate was standing with his back turned on me, I focused my energy on him, he turned around and looked at me, and we connected to the collective consciousness together. This was his first trip ever, and literally the second after he was able to explain the experience of the collective consciousness to the point, and we had excactly the same perception of what happened. im not even close to articulating what happened excactly, but me and my mate knows for a 100% fact that we connected through something energetic/non-physical, with roughly 2 meters of distance between us.

im having a very hard time accepting that existence is ultimately a good thing. i mean it just seems too good to be true that i just get to play these awesome games for all eternity, and loving it throughout all of eternity. ive come to realize that all "problems" are ultimately created by my mind or my "ego". I recently awoke to unconditional love through meditation, and it was the most beautiful thing ever. it felt like an ecstatic childhood memory. it lasted for about two days in pure ecstacy, and now ive experienced for myself that everything is literally pure self love. and yea, now im kinda in this state where my ego does not want to accept that everything is ultimately GOOD. everything is okay!! no matter what happens man. it doesnt matter, because in the end everything truly is good. my mom used to tell me this as a child. and now i know it is true. im crying as i write this. But i fucking cant fully give into it and accept it, it goes against my human nature to accept that everything ultimately is good, that there is nothing to fear, that i dont have to become anything.... i cant grasp it i love you all for existing

yes excactly! this is so life changing. Just allow life to take charge, sit back and observe without resistance.

yea excactly!! fully accepting the whatever is, I believe is what lead me to experience unconditional love. accepting the moment under all conditions is such a power, because it makes even "bad" situations "enjoyable" to some extend i would say. theres joy to be found in all aspects of experience
