How to be wise

I of course continue to pursue awakening. But surely there’s something you can say to try and answer that question.

@Leo Gura But why does reality have this appearance? Out of the infinite number of possible appearances, it chose this one. Why not another?

If women are just as sexist towards themselves as men are, nothing we can do.

This is so funny. In the US, there’s actually more females than males. So if a woman president wasn’t elected, it’s because women didn’t want to elect her. Please don’t blame men for this.

@mandyjw I’ve noticed that you have a sexism shadow to work on. You’re bringing it up when nobody mentioned it and was even thinking about it. You projected your sexist thoughts on what Leo was saying.

Calm down. You’re overdramatising what he said. He meant that women want the man they choose to lead the sex.

Why not now? If you’re procrastinating now, you’ll procrastinate later.

@Leo Gura Except they’ll go to jail if they do.

This is a book by Byron Katie. Most of us care about what others think about us. But this is the ego’s primary tool to stay alive. Once you realise that you don’t need other people’s love, you will start to live for yourself. Very important step for personal development.

@xxxx Check out the book ‘The art of war for women, by chin ning chu.’ Even as a guy, it has helped me.

@electroBeam I know people who go to random countries in random cities to get chicks pregnant, then they leave before anyone can hold them down. They don’t even know how many children they have!

@Preety_India Were you dating both at the same time.

You mean the boyfriend who cheated on you, abused you and told him you left. If I were you, I’d grab the first plane to Texas (or perhaps, Vegas!), and fill in that form as fast as I could. But still, you really can’t return to that guy. “Once a cheater, always a cheater” is a very accurate phrase.

@Preety_India You said in a previous post that you were going to live in Texas next year, and I’m assuming it’s because he was planning on marrying you. If the relationship ends, how will you move to the West?

@Leo Gura But you also said that the wisest sages live alone. Why is that? Is being alone better for consciousness work?

@Leo Gura Can you be in a relationship, and in the same time work on deepening your enlightenment? Because in that case, you have something to do.

@Leo Gura So the teachers who are in relationships are not furthering their enlightenment? They are not fully awake?

@Leo Gura How comes many spiritual teachers are in relationships? Are they also filling a hole?

@Karmadhi Check Corey Wayne’s YouTube channel.

Go to the booklist, and look under the section ‘emotional mastery’. There’s a bunch of excellent books about shadow work.

@Loving Radiance Don’t get butt-hurt about small things that Leo says.

@Leo Gura Why aren’t you shooting more videos about psychedelics? Where did your trip-report videos go? How about introducing the truckload of psychedelics that you teased us about?

I use binaural beats during meditation. Why would that be a problem?

@Leo Gura Just curious, are you still a millionaire?

@Raze Yes the ego uses language as a main tool to stay alive and stay identified. Once you have sufficiently melted your ego, words will affect you much less. What once offended you could now sound amusing. This is the power of consciousness work.
