    These two episodes are a prime example, and I don't know if Leo consciously or unconsciously use this as a prime example, not in a negative way but in a very visible and profound way of how people are epistemically irresponsible, including myself. Even your so-called scientists. Your episode, "epistemic responsibility"came at a very good time right after the two episodes with the demystifysci podcast . Let this be a lesson of how epistemically irresponsible even the most rational and intelligent people are, how close-minded and ignorant we are, how fooled we are. 

     

    This is another reason why you told your fans to not talk shit about the two host, because it's easy for the ego to clown others for being epistemically irresponsible , but the wise ones will use those two episodes with the one followed by the episode you released after the podcast to see how oneself is irresponsible and foolish. I see how epistemically irresponsible I am and for the rest of my life I'm going to continue seeing more and more how epistemically stupid I am and sharpening my epistemology.

    It was mind warping, terrifying and extremely satisfying at the same time because this is what I have been after since I was 17 years old, and I've touched it in various forms through many LSD trips, mushroom trips and in deep States of samadhi. But this one was on the money. It was just mind warping!! The ego is frightened but I want to go as far as I can. I feel closer to god, closer to myself. This is what I want.

    I feel extremely exhilarated and happy right now and it's still morning. I just finished running 3 miles and sat in the sauna for 10 minutes. I'm getting ready for USA boxing regionals Golden gloves championship in SoCal in a week. Everything that I'm doing with self-actualization, Awakening, philosophy my psychological development and learning more and more about this work and all the different ways especially my epistemology is tying in with my amateur boxing and my expression in the ring. I'm basically a mystic warrior

    I almost had a god realization breakthrough. I went to sleep listening to you Leo, your episode "state of consciousness is everything" and while I entered deep sleep I had a dream that I was myself and I was also Leo. There was no distinction between me and you and that boundary dissolved. I was laying in my bed just how I was sleeping but in the dream I raised up from my bed, with laser focused hyper-consciousness, ,I was aware of my body sleeping at the same time I was sitting up. I could see the night sky and the Moon in front of me outside the window as I was sitting on my bed, conscious of my body sleeping simultaneously. I was extremely conscious and lucid . I was inquiring and turning my Consciousness within and contemplating what am I? I really wanted to know what God is and what I am. And then suddenly this insane amount of consciousness became present. And then something answered by arriving, not as a voice but as a presence, an insane, crushing, expanding amount of consciousness flooded in, and the distinction between God and myself began to thin. The distinction between God and self started to thin and it was getting quite scary because my head didn't feel like my head anymore and it was getting really heavy and big because I couldn't hold all this consciousness and my head needed to break. And I kept questioning and stayed present without turning away in fear. Then it felt like all the air in the room got sucked out. And I touched my face and wondered even deeper, what is this, what am I, and for one split second I saw it clearly, I am God looking at itself, confused about what it is.  And then the ego rushed the gates, sex, survival, distraction, every self-deceptive mechanism firing at once like an alarm system, and I was pulled back out, and I woke up.

    Right. 

    An echo chamber of the survival of their audiences is probably more important than questioning their epistemology which will force them to bring their audiences along which will potentially threaten their followings and subtract the ones that are not serious about this. 

    Leo you are not dangerous, people cling to their ideas of what is true, moral and good. They feel threatened by awakening.

    I just finished watching both episodes. One thing I noticed is that Shiloh is on the edge of genuine insight although the woman is very dense in her worldview, so is Shiloh especially when it comes to morality because they are not awake to  relativism, the distinction between truth and survival. But they are not serious about this work and discovering what's True. Although it was a very fun conversation to listen to, I don't know if they're interested in even having you back on the podcast again, what do you think?

    I have had awakenings from psychedelics. But this one was extremely profound. There was only eternity, pure consciousness. Imagine your head is the entire universe. Literally my head was holding the entire fucking universe!

    It wasn't a cold empty nothingness, it was a full void of eternal bliss and love. It was an absolute embrace of everything. There is only this. And my life is a forgetting of what is but not separate from it

    I had this dream. And I know saying "I had this dream" already makes it sound smaller than it was, but I don't know how else to start.

    Time wasn't working the way it normally does. I kept jumping, different places, different realities, different scenarios, but none of it felt chaotic. It was more like flipping through channels except each channel was a whole life, a whole world, and somehow I was present in all of them without being lost in any of them. And the weird thing is what stayed consistent. Not me exactly, but consciousness. Like the screen that all the channels were playing on. It wasn't mine but it also wasn't separate from me. I can't really explain that part without it sounding like a contradiction.

    And then I ended up in this room.

    It was enormous. Square but with this dome ceiling, and the feeling of it was like being inside a massive spacecraft or some kind of chamber that was built for a very specific purpose. And at the far end of the room there was just the edge. The edge of everything. Like if the universe had a shoreline, I was standing near it.

    Above me in the dome there were two people. A man and a woman. They felt like guides, astronauts is actually the best word because they had that kind of calm technical competence, like people who do extraordinary things for a living and aren't dramatic about it. They were composed. Professional in a way that felt sacred rather than clinical.

    I told them what I wanted. I was surprisingly clear about it. I said I want to become conscious of reality as it actually is. That was the whole intention. Just that. To look over the edge. To see what's there.

    And so they helped me. There was something in the dome, it wasn't really a thing, it didn't have a name or a clear shape, but they guided me toward it and helped me put my head into it. Or through it. Like a threshold that had no door.

    And then, as I stuck my head through this threshold above me like sticking your head through a hole in the ceiling, instantly I became conscious of the nature of reality, there is only the godhead, infinite consciousness. There was absolutely nothing, it is eternal, it's what they're always is and forever will be, it felt extremely familiar as though I was remembering myself, but there is nothing there not even me, only the light of God. Time is imaginary and where I thought my head was now became the infinite godhead, it was pure Bliss it was pure love it was pure heaven. This is the dream that I had.

    I explained this dream using Claude AI to help me write it out in a more clear manner without losing the essence of what happened and I wanted to share with you without making it such a ramble. And the words fana alfana came to me in the morning.

    Dating is an art, it's something we implicitly learn as we grow up and the factors contributing to our maturity and our sexuality really set the foundation either healthy or unhealthy for future relationships when we get older. 

    Reality TV shows, like Jersey shore or the perfect match, really shape and influence what love really looks like in a relationship and a lot of people love to watch it. The examples set in pop culture does a poor job in showing what an actualized relationship looks like. 

    Go to your local Barnes & nobles, every week just to walk around the aisles of books that you're interested in and maybe you might find someone there, that's not a bad idea  😂

    Then you are in trouble.

    For fucks sake. 

    Reasonably both parties can meet each other halfway and fulfill each other's needs in a very healthy way, but if one person is self-actualizing, learning and doing personal development, studying non-violent communication, spiral Dynamics, and other developmental models and also very empathetic and trying to see things from the other person's perspective, understanding double standards and biases etc but the other person is a covert vulnerable passive aggressive narcissist and has borderline personality disorder traits and you guys have kids together, that's a wild ride for sure.

    Radical acceptance that the other will not change, not taking anything personally and being stable within having a very firm solid sense of self and reality, getting all your ducks in a row and not feeding into their emotional dysregulation. It just sucks that we're not taught in schools growing up about mental disorders and narcissism, and ego development because it's hard to assess someone in the early stages of a relationship because everyone puts on this facade and this performance, some of them put on this performance to hide this very fractured fragile and distorted ego. I know we all have wants and needs but if someone has some personality disorder, ego distortions and retardation especially with emotional regulation then it's like feeding a vacuum and every time you don't perform, you're accused of not loving them and not being appreciative and they project everything on to you. It's important to not defend yourself and to not get triggered by their projections when you don't feel their needs. 

    They idolize you, devalue you, and then they discard you

    There many ways to skin a cat. Just pick one and go with it. You can always change it a year later.

    Lovely said. Leo! It. I can feel The prana moving through me, it's not that I'm just breathing very slowly. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system and puts you through meditative States. Also this helps with my sparring and boxing, because I'm totally oxygenated and energized, I'm just filled with vitality and vigor

    @Leo Gura

    Thank you. I will continue doing kriya pranayamas everyday. The practice itself is strong and really sets the tone throughout the day. Do you breathe in and out slowly while mentally Chanting while focusing on a specific spot, like a chakra point? Kriya seems to be a kind of still dance of consciousness, balancing many different poses at once, breath holds, mudras, body locks and inner chanting while being completely still. Tell me what specifically you are doing when you are doing kriya yoga. What is your recipe? 

  20. Posted · Edited by ExploringReality

    @Leo Gura  It is said the point of kriya is to abide in the after effect of kriya, The Parvastha State. The kriyas are a means to an end and many people focus on doing kriyas for many years and get nowhere because they missed the point, which is Union with Self or Absolute Infinity.

    Can you clarify the importance between doing kriya for a period of time consistently and the importance of abiding in that after effect from kriya.

    Exactly the irony haha.  Yes I've brought it up to her and we accept that we are different in certain regards but one thing we find common ground on is that God exists.  She is very into Jesus so I dont push the subject.  Its so ingrained- religion that is - for some people that breaking them away from it is impossible. 

    Yeah I would have liked to find someone like @Natasha Tori Maru for a girlfriend but it wasnt in the cards.  

    Like I said its not too big a deal. Ill go to church with her if she wants.  I grew up with a Jewish background but im open to all things. 

    Are you both standing on the same ground or are you guys standing on your own grounds that God exists? Have you asked her why she believes in Jesus, have you had conversations with her that question her beliefs? 

    Kudos to @Natasha Tori Maru you're a gem out there in the world. You have a beautiful mind. you're quite hottie and feisty lol we went at each other's throats.

    That's interesting. How do you feel going to church with her really? Do you feel like you're turning away from yourself inside to subtly please her or maintain the image of the relationship? Would it matter to her if you said no? Not because you're not open but because you're sovereign, however I'm not telling you what you want to do. Whether you want to or not, I'm asking if whatever choice you make, is it true and integral to you? I'm not saying that you can't participate in other people's paradigms and there's no fun in that or it's not a big deal, but it's good to be honest with yourself about what your intrinsic boundaries are.
