The knower of this experience can never be known. Some flashy words are being thrown around such as Awareness, Consciousness, Love, pure Knowing, etc... If we are honest, the knower is completely unknown - if it were known, the knower of that one is unknown - until we reach the outer layer - the actual ultimate unknown. How do we call it anything - that's just what it seems from our human perspective - awareness, consciousness, etc - that's still not the unknown knower. By putting the label awareness there we somehow pretend to know what the unknown is and now we are enlightened. We know the unknown. WOW! Not really To be the unknown knower is everyone's common reality right now. We are all the unknown knower knowingly or unknowingly. We can not know what that is, its unknown, but we are that, at least you get that sense of it through Self Inquiry - Beyond the sense of the deepest self that is known - there lies the unknown knower that can never be known. Not sure if anyone is following, this might sound like gibberish, but it's really rather clear as explanation in my head. It gives me the cojones and inspiration to finally stop seeking what I am. It feels rather uncomfortable not knowing. But it's the truth. I trust this will help someone otherwise I don't know why I had the inspiration to see it and write it. If not, that is also fine. There is nothing to know hehehehe

@ajai your name

You think the Buddha could sit and somehow repel the mosquitos with his vibration? Haha! That's giving inhuman abilities to a human. The non-human Self is not going to get bitten, yes, but the whole "Buddha as body would not be bitten because he is enlightened" is taking things into fairytale land and setting impossible standards. That's NOT what enlightenment is. Maybe he could ignore the mosquitos, but they still are sucking his blood and he risks getting diseases in human form. The way to stop mosquitos biting you is to move about. The actual buddha (consciousness) would see that movement/dance also within itself so even while the body is moving, the true Self is meditating. Meditation is always the case. Do not confuse people with these impossible fantasies of being able to manipulate physical reality. Hahahahah That's misunderstanding Buddha's teachings. PS: I also just realised how old this thread is Save the mosquitos! PSS: Notice how Bashar swatted a mosquito in the form of this man's next question. I found the questioner more inline with love and understanding thab Bashar on this one. Very poor performance!

booom omg mind=blown tyhnaks <-misspelled to show mind=blown

ofcourse by all means walk the path, but dont present it as superior. The guy on the left of this picture is much more enlightened because he admits to not know what he is talking about.

Sadhguru is living an authentic life, for another it would mean to paint for a third it would express in any way shape or form. Ways, shapes and forms are not the Truth, they can only be an approximation of Truth. I love Sadguru's song and I love the bird's songs too.

Metaphysician thinks he knows what he is talking about, still doesn't. Seems to me the same ego trap of the guy on the left is present in the guy on the right. Both think they know it all. A qualified spiritual being is one who accepts not knowing and allows the universe to fill his empty cup with what is. Stop intellectualising and stop with this elitist spirituality/truth bs.

+1 but also give luvvv to all others <3 I send love to the guitarist, even though I send him to cognitive resonance land every time we speak. I do it out of love ?

@4201 no self is equivalent to selfless. Selfless desires Selfless beliefs Selfless action Selfless means not to expect an outcome to be a certain way.

Leo's teachings are very next level and I often find myself contemplating and only in hindsight I have these Aha! Moments and Leo was right. Actually there are as many Leos as there are forum members - everyone has an image of him in their mind. The true Leo is not known to us. Actually I have had a dream with what I deem to be Leo's highest self. I've only had this with a small select number of people. Maybe it was to help me, which it definitely did, but also perhaps to return the favour. I have already shared with Leo things from this dream where he was one of the most genuine, authentic and sage-like, friendly, no-bullshit human I've ever seen with a very simple yet amazing life. The most direct teacher, he showed me I am the entire dream and will never forget this. It was really him, but perhaps in the highest form, but I am also far from my highest self so I am not judging anyone especially not Leo, who is way ahead. I love Leo and thank for all he has done. He actually said himself that success is one of the worst things that can happen for your spiritual development, because its very easy to fall pray to the ego. Perhaps more love centered approach is needed. Maybe he has just gotten a-stray for a bit? Maybe I don't know what the fucj im talking about also im fine with that too.

Beautiful! <3

I think this is just a dynamic meditation that one can do whenever, it is simply becoming aware of being that field in which all sensations and conceptions arise. I guess the original poster uses all these labels to describe the practice so the reader can actually understand, but it's really simpler than that in practice - not mechanical. As you said, you just sit. You just walk. I think this practice is like that, natural, if taken into practice. For example right now, I just write and this experience is dying every second. Every word I write comes into existence and dies. I give my words as offerings to the eternal. In a loving, joyful way, aligning with the divine by not grasping or seeking to hold on to anything. Not holding on to any state, not any word, not any sensation or feeling. Who is doing that? Well It is a happening and the wider awareness sees the human typing this. It's like a continuous offering of all experience to this one knowing that sees the event happening within it. It's like every experience - good/bad, all dual experience, is an offering to the nondual space which is the only reality.. I do agree with you that there's quite a bit of ADHD and trying to get some cool effect, taking drugs to induce nondual states and so on. I think we actually need to try our hardest to have a real dual state instead of achieving a nondual state (which is All the freaking time if duality is seen for what it is). Now that takes real effort, commitment and holding on to rigid beliefs and ideas to achieve.

divine simplicity Some of us need more lol I would rather say "Matter is simply sluggish light. You are light. God is light. Everything is light. " What you call Mind I call the light of consciousness - for me a much better pointer, but otherwise this whole exercise is great. Just different terminology. If you don't think this is the case, let's discuss, if you mean something other than the light of consciousness/aware presence . In my books Mind = Thoughts and what you call Mind I call awareness/consciousness. I know many use these terms slightly different, so I'll give you that.

@Martin123 look he is using the dynamic also "No offence" and then proceeds to try to offend @Thestarguitarist14 yeah don't worry about me taking offense, my identity is not what you think it is. And I know we've had disagreements in the past, but you have to let it go homie. I am hoping to offend so that it shows you where your identification is, so you may have the chance to dissolve it. Thanks for doing the same for me <3 By divine connection I meant that you have your own sense of what is right and what is wrong. And yeah, go ahead and take offense with what I said, but you should be using all this effort to bring light into the world of a satanist instead. Priorities. But I know you are still hurting from the time I destroyed your idea of what law of attraction is, by using your own definition to prove how it is wrong. That's why you are having this negative reaction to what I am saying, at least that's what I project - that's how hurt egos work. You are a follower of the law of attraction and say that everything that happens is your doing - good or bad. This includes my comment right now. I could go find and quote exactly, but I'm paraphrasing. So if you really follow your law, you should not have any resistance to my comment, it is exactly what you've attracted, at least from your worldview. Why are you fighting what you attract? I used the same method to destroy the idea the satanist was putting forward : The law of reversal. I said to him, if you apply your law, if you really were a follower of your law, you would reverse all that you are saying x) So if he really follows his law, he would be a saint. <3 Sirs, my bullshit detector is ON. Only truth beyond this point I am not here to show an image. All you know of me is some forum identity. Why would I want to look good in some random person's eyes. I am here only to dispel ignorance and speak for Truth. Because God knows your ignorant laws do not.

Not the light I am talking about I guess Satanists can twist and turn things, making you think anything. Of course their religion is not about love and light. It's about hatred and darkness and lies. So if they lied that Satan is an angel of light, its not something they wouldn't do in the name of confusion. You damn well understand that a paedophile that talks about his desires of gaslighting children while they perform sexual favours for him is not someone in touch with love and light, my friend. Please! Never say this again, even if its written in scripture somewhere. Don't trust what a damn book says, you have your own divine connection within.

That's where nondual awareness comes in. This would be a problem for me if my identity is tied up with this vessel or some entity within this vessel or controlling this vessel. Lol! There is this nonduality trick where your entire experience is happening to nothingness itself. Meaning that you can offer your entire experience to g0d, it's God/Nothingness (beyond the labels) doing everything from this nondual state. Shine light, without fearing, because you are not what it appears. If you were something, then I get why you wouldn't want to get all this negative energy... But negative energy cannot stick to emptiness just like water cannot stick to a lotus. It's all about whether your identity is within the experience, or the empty field surrounding and knowing deeply every experience.

Light's purpose is to shine on to darkness. The more toxic a place is, the more it needs your lightwork bro. That's why I had a 3am discussion with a satanist on here and managed to put a bunch of light seeds into his mind, even if he doesn't realise it. We are not here to shine light on to light. Ofcourse Leo and everyone else knows they are not perfect and there is always darkness that needs some light. But the thing about darkness, it is too dark to be seen by itself, so its good to have honest people to point it out. I do think however that most of the things Leo does on this forum are to create some sort of effect in the student who is following, like a Zen teacher - creating paradoxes and showing detachment from egoic behaviour. Also maybe showing that egoic behaviour is not really egoic behaviour? lol Its too meta for me this one. It's important for people not to believe what anyone says willy-nilly ... Even if its Leo! Like I am constantly putting forward my understanding and don't shy away from pointing out bullshit when I smell it. It's all part of the dance.

There appear to be many limitations to the human in time. Even awareness itself is limited as it is always aware, it cannot be not-aware.

It doesnt matter if you fail again and again. Relapse after relapse. You get back on! You never start from scratch, its not like you lost all the progress you made. For example I did 30 days and now that I relapsed, I can feel that these 30 days were not negated by one relapse. Also, what's most important that the habit was broken, so now your default is not to just wank all day, and if you do wank, its the exception to the rule. Take it easy! There are people who do years of this, its not impossible

Availability of the left: Absolute Availability of the right: Relative

@SpYITB Yes there are magnitutes of infinity... Then there is the Absolute.... Awareness is infinite... There is "something" beyond the watcher .... Awareness has infinite potential but there is also "something" bigger within which this awareness itself is shining your entire life. The absolute... I cannot talk much about the absolute, there are more qualified beings. But what we can do is be the infinite Awareness (be Enlightened about your true nature) and in "doing" so we open the possibility to get intuitive conscious connection in the form of insights and synchronicities from the Absolute - that which is beyond even the conscious witness of this experience now. Why I am saying that awareness is not the Absolute is because it is clear that awareness cannot stop being aware, which means there is still a limitation there, cannot be the Absolute. Lol, what im saying even if awareness is absolute, its not THE absolute. It's crazy crazy!

No thats not bypassing, bypassing would mean to ignore the anxiety or push it away to the depths of the subconscious because its not spiritual to feel that way.... If one truly is present with what is, and anxiety remains, then it is supposed to be there. Why fight with reality? Just notice it

Modern Spirituality: *Anxiety is already happening in the field of infinite bliss and does not need to be cured, no practice required* *No practice IS the practice*

This one also is great. I actually had an intuition to look for him. Some teachers appear and subside, after they appear again in divine timing. In this video he draws a representation of what he is talking about and when he draws a tree he says " This is a tree, not broccoli". Earlier this day I was looking at a tree in the park and told my friend: Look this tree looks like broccoli! So I knew this was something for me. I only had one problem with his picture, even though it resonated a lot, when he wrote God, he should have written Ego. (He talks about the "Me before God" but it should be "The God before the Ego"
