No no no... change of perception is 100% a real thing. We all experience that we are a seperate self. And that seperate sense of self is an illusion. Illusion means a false perception. So a change of perception from false to true is needed. That is called enlightenment or self realization. An insight/a shift of perception where experience of seperate self is gone. If u really read this and understand it fully. It fully debunks what u sayed above.

Lol maybe. I don't even know the actual criticism of him ?. Im shooting in the dark here. Who knows. Made a deal with your mother? Accuse him of bad sexual behavior. Win lots of money. Be happy. That's as ridiculous as radiculitis Your opinion about him and my opinion about him is so...... galaxy of galaxy apart lol. If u could see what i can see, thinking he has no integrity would be almost impossible.

And what if that spiritual path actually leads to disillusionment of any seperate sense of self? Then all of that argument becomes impotent and unimportant imo. And if u don't follow any spiritual path, your sense of individual self does not get diminished even one inch. So zero progress is being made that way towards eliminating the perception of individual sense of self. How is that not lame?

I doubt he was a pervart. If i had to guess money was involved. And where money is involved people become crazy and do things to win some law case to win all that money and jk was really rich. Women do that a lot. At least in the movies Johnny Depp is a good example.

It looks to me that you're just looking for dirt without being interested in the teaching even ? that's not a good place to start imo.

@Raptorsin7 did u ever consider those gossips are not true? There are tons of bs about every spiritual teacher on the internet.

I generate him because i see the tremendous value and wisdom in his teaching.

@Raptorsin7 i usually judge people myself without relying on internet gossip and what i see and what the internet says doesn't match for me. There's literally tons of bs about every spiritual teacher on the internet if u search for it. And trying to find some dirt on someone without even being a little interested in his main teaching says something about your postion and where your dislike is coming from also imo.

@Raptorsin7 sigh... how many girlfriends somebody had or didn't have and all that gossip drama every enlightened teacher faces shouldn't be important here imo.

I think the only real teacher of "no seeking" was J.Krishnamurti. His teaching is just pure gold. A legend of intelectual cleverness and insight. However, the teachings got misinterpreted, distorted and misunderstood and now we have neo advaita lol.

@Consilience i think Leo's understanding of what no self insight is is different then the original version. That's why so much disagreement happens.

Leo responded to my post, that's so beautiful. ? The way i see it is that buddhists actually spend years penetrating the illusion of self with awareness practices and have a legit experiencial insight that they don’t exist as a limited tangable self. Whereas neo advaita literally don't do anything except mental masturbation. And those "enlightened" neo advaita spoke people are by no means free from illusion of limited self. Zero change in their perception has occured except a new belief system about what they are. Well, at least that's how i see it. I know we disagree on everything always that's okey, brother ?

NoSelf is very serious insight. Realization that what i call as "me" is just a bundle of sensations arising and passing away takes enourmous awareness and has increadible life changing impact on how one behaves and the freedom from suffering and false perception that gets attained. Unfortunately some people believe if u understand that there is no self intelectually, it's enough. That's so sad because they are missing the experiencial insight that can come only from intense awareness. Basicly that's like accepting that you're god and the creator of the universe because it makes sense intelectually and think it's enough without ever actually having that experiencial recognition and reality shattering change of perception. ...sigh.. there's a difference between intelectual understanding and experiencial insight and change of perception. And neo advaita is purely based on intelectual conviction. That's not even 1% progress towards the actual enlightenment insight... how can u not laugh at something so ridiculous? ...

A possible explanation could be that there's a lot of supressed, unresolved fears, anxieties, stress emotions in your deeper mind. Sometimes we can be exposed to some stressful situations like watching a horror movie as a child, and then carry those unresolved feelings/impressions for 50years or more unknowingly. Most often dreams are an expression of our unresolved feelings that reside in subconcious mind. Maybe u have lots of dark stuff there unresolved. (We all do actually)

God is Love, Joy and happyness and harmony. And harmony is health also. U can have all of this but if u deny god, it can only lead to suffering and sickness. God only creates health and beauty. Even if your body is rotting, u'll still be healthy if you're in alignment with god's love. Ego is sickness, ego is the problem, ego wants to be seperate from god and pays the price. Don't know how practical this is to you tho. If want something practical then do an ayurveda consultation maybe. Read acim, maybe Christ will save u

Intention to observe intention is itself an intention. Observe that intention. It can seem paradoxical, but there's the biggest breakthrough behind this. and it's possible.

@Thanks u'd make more progress if u tried to observe and go beyond intention instead of attention. Intention and attention always go together. What u intend to do, there attention follows and exertion (leaking out) of energy follows. Instead observe the intention, that will lead to a place of no intention, a state that can feel like "singularity". And it's less confusing then trying to observe attention.

Idk if this answers your question but in phychology they explain that women chose strong healthy big muscle man because subconsciously they think this man will give best genes for her baby and they will create a healthy child. Same with men. They chose a woman with big hips because big hips show that the womb is large and healthy and adequate to carry a healthy child. Big boobs also mean something i forgot that shows a promise for a healthier offsprings. It's all about uncouncious survival and reproduction of healthy offsprings. Ensuring the survival of the fittest.

That's a really good share, thank u. He even confirms my idea of how to test if someone is liberated. I couldn't be happier. What he sayed about dissolving the body is also amazing. That's why i like the theory of goenkas vipassana. It makes so much sense to me. I wonder if that stage ever comes from simply being aware of awareness/ do nothing practice.

Samadhi is basicly not leaking any energy out. Desire is the source of leaking energy outwards. What u desire there u exert energy to or attention to. Exerting energy to and attention to is synonymous. If u don't exert any energy u're in nonduality. Or in other words, try not to give your attention to anything at all. It will take u to the same place of nondual Self. (Can also make u realize what attention is.)

Attention is an exertion of energy to a certain place. If u observe attention and where u excert your energy. U'll gain the ability to contain that energy inside and not leak it unconsciously. When u become so concious that u can observe attention fully, u will hold all the energy inside pointing inward instead of outwards. That's where transmutation of desire energy into presence energy happen. An implosion of energy start to take place converting ego drives into nothingness/selfishness into noself. That's what turning inward means. Observing attention is the ultimate practice. And it's actually possible to observe it as an observable phenomena. U should try it

Koharalan could give u advice. He's well experienced with kundalini symptoms and very open to talking and giving advice. Reach out to him. U have nothing to lose. I also heard that openning microcosmic orbit helps to draw all the energy from the head to dantien. And by this method daoist never have kundalini sindrome. Koharalan can tell u more about it.

@Spiral Wizard he's okey i guess. I didn't get his describtion of enlightenment tho, very confusing. Seems to be awake to some degree and deservers recognition. I just don’t think of him as godlike. I think there should be more awake buddhists then him somewhere. I don't know many of them. I like goenka much more then shinzen. He has a very peculiar vibe that draws me in when he speaks. Almost like poetry of buddha's silence radiating. And even goenka was not fully enlightened but at least i could feel some grace flowing from him. Would be interesting to see a fully woke buddhist i think.

Lol, kinda makes sense ?

Really? I wonder if he read it. I can't imagine him reading the book without arguing with it at every corner But im not recommending to read it to gather more and more information. The book is a living tool to open the pathways of love and Christ consciouness. Maybe that's why he has success with 5meo. But the state can be entered soberly. I wonder if he missed that fact.
