I would drop the image of a person or even spirit that is on a journey of improvement and just fall into the deep oceanic hug of self inquiry!

Insomnia can be a side effect to awakening, read that too. But it's not a necessary one. Just happens that you have a lot of energy inflow, I guess get up and start doing some physical workout to exhaust yourself into sleep. I never understood what this insomnia thing is about. I've only ever not slept because I have wanted to. One of those things i guess, you dont know until it happens to you. Like a mental illness. I can't understand this too. Just dont take thoughts seriously and who is mentally ill? Noone. Everyone is normal when they breathe.

Thats what the mind want us to think! But its not us who think, its the mind! We are in a relationship, my mind got the memo that it doesn't own me. I own it. And it loves my ownership

The mind is the one who seeks liberation in the future. You are free and complete now and always. Drop mind and see. Let it babble, you just turn the other way.

I kindly disagree! Consciousness and awareness are pointing to the same no-thing that is you. Its the mind that wants to lay claim on consciousness, but that's just because that's the present you are shining on.

I wanna step in and say from my own personal experience that there is no conscious mind to drop. There is only the subconscious. Consciousness is who I am, and I am the light which shines on the subconscious mind and allows it to flow out and seem conscious. The moment we see the subconscious, it becomes conscious, until we start shining somewhere else.

The depths of the subconscious are huuuuuuuuuuuuge

If who believed that? Why are you making this into something personal ?? Do you not understand that you are the presence and not a thinking entity? Who are you arguing with? There is no path for what we're talking about. But as far as paths are concerned, they are all allowed to be. If you wanna be hitler, you be hitler. But if you want to be yourself, be presence! I bet you've heard that, but you're still in that mind mode I sense!! How to let go of your burning desire to say how you are right and the other is wrong? By seeing there is no you to be right. Allowing all paths to be valid is the best way to live in harmony with the people around you! Otherwise you keep on attacking them with your points of views and your perceived truths!

All paths are valid!

There's also option to ask a question (man, there are so many hidden options!): 5) With whom am I disagreeing? Have you checked that one, is it there? As whom are you speaking? Eh? @Russell Parr

Here are the options: 1) Be silent 2) Agree 3) Disagree Now you see how it is possible that someone disagrees with what you are saying.

My friend @AlwaysBeNice Laughter can reach a point, where it fuels itself. You laugh because of the way you are laughing. Same goes with falling into the Self. It feels like dropping into deep sleep while being awake... Letting the subconscious do for you, while you grace it with your consciousness. Of which you have unlimited reserves!!!

This is absolutely perfect and downright genius. I will rest on my subconscious, My God!

Last night I was in the park meditating and I asked for an angel to show up. I was ready to actually see one, clear as day showing up. Shortly after this little guy popped out out of nowhere and stayed with me and guarded my position like a lion! <3 My spirit animal? ???

For me meditation and self inquiry have the same purpose - Truth! Don't get stuck on what things are called, recently realized that all non-dual teachings are in essence a form of self inquiry.

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!!!
