Hi guys, wouldn't it be nice to have one place in which we can talk about the latest episode uploaded by Leo and discuss the subject matter together. I usually see new threads being started up with the name of the latest video, so this thread could make it easier for people to be able to see the discussions related to the videos without having to browse through the whole forum. I think this will be helpful to bring the insights together at one place and bring a nice dynamic discussion between us forum users. So the latest video is "Leo's Solo 9-Day Meditation Retreat" Personally, I am currently not able to have a bunch of days free from everything, but this really looks exciting and like something that I will eventually do in the future. Even though it does not exist . For now, I think I need to take the first step. I will try this Saturday to meditate for 8 hours straight. I haven never done more than 1 and a half hour of meditation at once, so it will be a huge step. I think before I think about 9 days straight, I need to be able to do one, right?? I will test myself this weekend and see whether my 1 day meditation retreat is going to be a success or fail!

@Leo Gura How to stop second guessing myself. Recently I find myself more and more in situations where im about to do something and then I look at it and go: "wait, i think this is egoic, better to just not do / say it". So it feels like I'm moderating myself and I'm unsure whether this is healthy or unhealthy behaviour.

THey could well have a lot of highs, but for one, they are conditional. And it's still uni, they havent graduated to life yet lol

If the tail of the comet decides it wants to become the comet, it would fail. Only the comet is the comet. The tail could be approximately at the same location as the comet, but will never reach it. So I agree that we as entities with stories and futures are never in the present. The mind create past and future in order to have some reference and continuity. The room of the Ego. While the present moment is always fresh, empty and infinite - thats why the mind cannot recognise it and abide in it. The moment it is recognised it is already a memory and not it.

Sometimes we want to prepare ourselves to be able to deal with Dragon problems. The thing is, we are dreaming being human. We will experience human problems, not dragon problems. Don't go too overboard! God has given you what you need to survive.

My current dream is a dream in which somehow some way i have a body. I have two hands, two feet and a head. I can rely on them, I absolutely Love having hands and feet. My dream would be a nightmare without them. I've actually had a dream once in which my body was not there. I needed it, i wanted it. Where is it?? It was one of the biggest nightmares ive ever had. It was like: did you think you will have me forever? You should've enjoyed me while you can. How are you going to climb stairs now? You don't even know how much you love something until you lose it tbh. Im actually addicted to using my hands and feet and I have no idea how much I will miss them when they're gone. The simplest tasks are going to be the ones I miss the most. This will make me come back again and again. I am absolutely addicted to the body. To the point that I vonfuse myself with it. But I am not it. But I also dont want to lose it. My body is like a wish come true. I wish the dream of body never ends. So enjoy every step, enjoy every movement! Love your body. Your dream self.

My dream/ideal life would be an ideal dream life. I see life as buying tickets for the lottery. Us humans I think have won big time with our current lives, but there is a much bigger ticket to be won, and it is the experience of Heaven. The Golden ticket. A story in which things work out for you big time. I would say Ekhart Tolle is living a golden ticket. Living heaven right now.. I want that, but it is forbidden for me, because of horrific deeds that I've done in past lives. While i dont know who that one is, who is being judged, I know I need to drop him, in order to be free.

This was one of my best sessions as well! I had a mind blowing realisation - I was sniffing air again, instead of using my diaphragm, so I made sure to start "breathing in that good ass prana" again ! I feel so awake now, I just feel awesome. Thank you guys, it might've been one of your love magic spells!!!

Im joining too, I end at 19:11

Hahahahahahhahaha! Nice one!

When I forget that fact, I wouldn't care about it

Death is just sleep, and I love to sleep! Hahahahahaaha!!!!

They're going to be waiting for me in my subconscious for an awesome dream! Thank you in advance!!!! A dream where I become awake!

Guys have you heard about this great substance H2O So I took like a huge dose of it and now I am in a samadhi with my environment! I am The environment, I am God. I am in a love affair with clean water? And clean air

I have continuous samadhi experience with my entire environment, because I am part of the environment and not a character in it. But at the same time, the character in it. ????

Everything that is scary is scary only if you think about it. With meditation we learned how to stop thinking. That means nothing should be scary. Even your own death.

Just talked to a fly asking it kindly if it wants to have a samadhi with me ???

I'd say because it's illegal and unavailable... The system, maaaaaaaaaaan

I am not against it, but I am struggling with understanding why, if the truth is the simplest thing and that it is who I am, I would need to take anything external to find it. I'm just overthinking. When I stop thinking I find myself laughing a lot at the ridiculousness of Ego and the seriousness Im applying even now. But its like @Martin123 says, whenever I see that guy arising, my business is to give it love ?. So im not in opposition to ego, as you also suggested in your first post. I accept and transcend. I let it be and let it go. If I just let go, without let be, Im running from it.

This question pops up, how could you have experienced yourself as God in the past? Is this now like some badge for your ego and everyone else who used psychedelics have? "I am the ego who experienced himself as God" "Now you can't touch me cause I'm the Ego who has seen it all" "Are you an ego who has experienced themselves as God, or are you one of those crude and not understanding Egos?" In my mind, if you are not experiencing it now, then there's nothing to talk about. Still, I liked your post and I'm gonna get shit for mine. Just speaking my mind freely.

Not committing, but I will write before 1800 if Im available But I'm gonna be meditating a lot today so there's that!

Doesn't this seem like something pretty egoistical? Is non-duality the biggest ego trip life (even if it's the truth) ? Everything is you. Now you can finally love it, because you love your damn self so much!!! WTF??? To be capable of only loving yourself and nothing separate from you seems like the most egoic thing if you think about it. Maybe that's why we're not supposed to think

My biggest challenges: Confusion and Attachment Would have to be not knowing whether I am attached or not. On one hand the mind is super attached to stuff. On the other I see I am not the mind, but the one observing. Am I attached or not? Im mindfucked. I often get those dreams in which I lose something that I overuse in real life, for example I leave my laptop somewhere and I can't get it back, so it makes me feel super bad for not having it. But that is not really me right? But it's still the feeling of suffering. Another thing that challenges me is that me, as a human being enjoy my comfort - I don't like being cold, I like warm showers, warm clothes, I like my bed - I don't know what I'm going to do without it. I like having money, so I can buy the things I need. I like all those things, and I don't think I can enjoy life without them. Even though I clearly see I am not the mind and that all I have of mind are thoughts, sensations, perceptions, beliefs, etc, it feels like there is nothing to experience apart from these things - so better make them feel good rather than bad? This feels like a super big attachment to me that I'm not sure I can let go - I am attached to wanting good things rather than bad things, because I want a good dream rather than a bad one.... I'm also attached to spirituality, because it is a means of making a good dream.

It's very important to chew your food!

The thing is teachings are conditionings, they come and go. Some resonate with me more than others, some I like but dont stick. I enjoy Matt Khan's videos in the present moment of watching them, but its like a movie for me, Matts teaching are not really hitting home for me.
