Why did you delete all your 300 videos with 12 views each where you were copying leo? They were funny

Well, fuck me, you just made me want to follow your youtube channel. Where can i sign up with the other 3 of your followers who review New Age books about Maslow theories ?

@Martin123 Can you stop referring to "paradigms" please. This is 1970's humanistic talk where everyone had a "paradigm". Who do you think you are, Albert Camus? Reality is not pluralistic, or relativistic, its absolute. Lets get out of the 70's yeah?

This is what Ive been discussing recently on another thread about samadhi. You have picked up some silly beliefs from the spiritual community that you need to experience or become reality. The fact is, you are awareness, its as clear as the day, you exist, because how can you know of anything if you didnt exist? The inquiry is not finding who you are, its inquiring into what you are not. If you can understand that the manifest world does not exist then what remains is you then you. You are the light, conscious of your dream. The manifest world never existed, you only thought it did, it only APPEARS to exist. If you can see how your experience simply cannot be true, then youre left with the realization that this is a dream, it never happened.

Are they sensations? Or are they thoughts? Actually answer the question put to you. Inquire into see if reality exists, it APPARENTLY exists, but if you inquire into it, you will see that it cannot exist in the way that you have been conditioned to believe. This is common sense not philosophy. The world is only apparently real, its not real, the only thing that is real is awareness. Bhraman is just a "name" for awareness. Shiva and shakti is the leela theory, and its not true because it rests on the assumption that the apparent reality must merge with Bhramnan and thats their non dual theory. But Bhraman is non dual in itself because manifestation is not real, its a dream, apprrances to the contrary notwithstanding. It looks like you want to uphold your beliefs despite evidence to the contrary. Thats called delusion. Delusion is fine, its maya operating its pre existing programme. Im not going to conveince you because youre predestined not to be enlightened and to remain in the dark. It is as it is.

Can you actually answer the question? Or you just going to play mind games avoiding being challenged on your silly beliefs?

You do know youre making it more difficult for new people because youre selling them belief systems that have no basis in truth? Why are you here spreading your beliefs?

And your "kundalini" is just the aspect of you that seeks a spiritual solution rather than a worldly solution. The kudalini energy theory is another belief, it doesnt rise up and merge with shiva, thats the leela theory of awakening, its another action/experience based belief system taken from yoga. Nobody ever got enlightened with yoga. Are you people mad??

? Are you joking around, because I cant tell if youre being serious or not. To me this sounds like youre trying to save face because your belief has been exposed.

@Deep Its not philosophy. The fact that you exist says you are Bhraman, thats no belief system of philosophy. Thats self evident. Now, think about time, contemplate it and you will understand for yourself that the world cannot exist - then your mind "stops". Thats samadhi, but its just a state in the dream where the thinker exists. Youdont go around thinking "the world does not exist" lol, however I can see thats how it looks to a person who does not have a proper spiritual practice. You merely understand that the world cannot be any other way than it is, because you know it is a movie, a projection. Thats enlightenment. If you are looking for enlightenment thats it, if you are looking for samadhi experiences then youre just wasting your time, because you can seek as many samadhi experiences as you like, but they wont liberate you from the feeling of lack and separation until you understand what experience actually is. Ironically understanding puts you in a permanent "samadhi". Thats called "happiness" If you actually just stopped and thought about what im saying you would free yourself right now. Then, the lack would come back, and you contemplate more, and it goes on and off until the knowledge is steady. I am Bhraman, it cannot be logically any other way. Thats what happened to Maharshi, he did inquiry on it, he didnt collect a bunch of beliefs and talk about the state of samadhi. He did the actual work.

Who is having union with the absolute? Anatta in Buddhism refers to the doctrine that there is no person, and no absolute, so how can there be a union? You also need to account for the rest of your comment, as it does not hold up in the light of day. It looks like a belief

@cetus56 Union with what? Anatta is a buddhist term. The anatta doctrine states that there is no self. They examined the elements and declared them to be "empty" but failed to recognize that what was witnessing the emptiness was Bhraman, awareness/God. So Anatta is just a philosophical misconception of the nature of reality which means that Buddhist doctrine is still stuck in this material universe, therefore it is a humanistic philosophy. But Bhraman is the only thing that exists, and the world does not exist, it only appears to exist. There is no real "samadhi" because samadhi is a state experience in the apparent non existing universe of which Bhraman is the ever present witness of. Bhraman doles out state experiences which we call samadhi, but these are in the dream. There is no "union" because non existent entities cannot "unite" with "nothingness" because nothingness is a philosophical concept (as I mentioned before). Also, how can all entities awaken and return to the absolute? There is nobody here to awaken, there is only Bhraman looking at its creation. You also mention "God" in the same sentence as anatta, which means you are lumping Bhraman in with the Buddhist concept of anatta, but if you are to refer to the Buddhist concept of anatta then you cannot talk about God in the same context - the two are incompatible because Buddhists assert that there is no God. So this is not right either. "God" is the aspect inherent in Bhraman which is called ignorance, or "Maya" which projects and a world. However there is no real world. You can verify this yourself by contemplating the concept of time. Time is a thought, is it not? If time as a concept, and there is only one "eternal now" then how does this account for the fact that your body changes and deteriorates over time? If there is no time, and only one moment, the "now" that means the body never changes. And its true, because there is no world, no body, its just Bhraman projecting thoughts every nano second that seem to look like a continuity of a life, its not a real creation, its a projection, like a predetermined programme. Your "life" has happened before, many times, and will continue to happen again in the next cycle. Its like a movie playing over and over. I think you are confusing a lot of doctrines and lumping them all in the same category. This is a symptom of the perennial philosophy, a belief system based on the assumptions that all the non dual systems of thought point toward the same truth, which is just a new age belief system. Perhaps you get a lot of your information from this new age video here? I think this sort of thinking just confuses people and leads them on a wild goose chase, chasing ideas that are not even remotely related to each other.

ok, for shits n giggles, youre always experiencing yourself, 24/7. You dont need to get into a samadhi state because samadhis are based off a fundamental misconception; that you can do something to become enlightened. Which is never the case, because you are enlightened now, but if you dont know you are the light and your relationship to what appears to be "a world" out there, then youre still "unenlightened" - and those guys who want to seek samadhi will never understand enlightenment as long as they are chasing it. Question: What is "the world" to you?

But this just goes back to you, did you know that? :-) You just spat in your own face without realizing it. Nothing of what you said is actually true of me, I just said you were an idiot and you accepted that assessment, which is why you felt compelled to puke up this hyperbole and insult yourself because somebody called you an idiot. Such self defeating behaviour, and a budding young therapist too. I'm glad you are not coaching me, fuck that!

There is no meaning. And what Ive been saying all along is there is no need to develop into a "sage". You either dont listen, or you just want to hammer home your point that is actually the same as my point? Here is a video for you, that I think you might find useful. Youre not just an idiot, youre a complete idiot.

You can swap your values around. If your value conditions you to extrovert you wont realize you are awareness. All were concerned with in the values realm is getting the mind turned inward calm, peaceful. If values agitate the mind then they need to go. This is NOT about making a better ego, its about realizing you are awareness - all your dreams of compassion and egalitarianism and fairness will come true when you realize who you are, dont worry! But trying to CULTIVATE this is a delusion, because you already ARE that. Everyone is awareness, there is no point developing yourself because self development rests on relative delusional conceptions that are not really there. Dont just believe me, do inquiry and rest your mind in the source long enough and you will wake up out of this dream where you think there are any differentiations. This is all practical, Leo is a very philosophical person who needs his delusions of grandeur and enlightenment theories. Its all nonsense.

An "enlightened" person is free from their programming because they have done the "tapas" work of burning their conditioning up. Dont confuse enlightenment with Leos idea of it, that bullshit will kill you faster than a microwave meal. The "programming" were trying to get rid of its not the automatic nervous system stuff. Its the BELIEF that we are a person. If we believe we are a person we suffer, grow old, die and are deluded like a person. We are awareness, we just got lost in the identity.

@CreativeInertia I get rid of values every day. Try it. Sit still in silence and watch how your mind comes up with an ideal. Watch the pain that comes with it, the duality between your ideal and the situation that triggered it. Then understand that the reason you are in pain is because you have an idea that is in conflict with reality. That is your conditioning because you wore this pattern in over a long period of time it became "normal" and that is what you mistake yourself for. Once you release the ideal you feel the bliss of who you are. The ideal will come back, keep working on it and you will eventually condition yourself to stay "in the heart" (your mind will turn around and rest in its source).. If you can create a conditioning for self inquiry and decondition yourself to uphold stupid values that do nothing but delude you, you will become free of all your conditioning. Thats purification process. As long as youre extroverting your mind and doing "self development" you are conditioning your mind to extrovert. You will never become self realized doing this. At the moment you are theorizing and idealizing about enlightenment. Do the actual work, because the more you theorize the ore you will end up deluded by these ideals and the suffering will not cease. When you have done that you will see for yourself what is real, and you will understand what im saying.

This is delusion. Its just snobbery. Mastery is a relative concept, born of relativistic ideas. Its got nothing to do with nondulaism. You cannot marry nondualism with dualism. In the egoic mind you can, you can have your stupid ideals and messed up distorted misconceptions about nonduality as much as you want. And hold both as paradox. This is still ego tho, and its nothing to do with nonduality. Nonduality is the vision you understand when duality is finished, uprooted from the mind. Its not a both / and, its one or the other. You cant be deluded and be undeluded at the same time.

Enlightenment and being a teacher of making very dysfunctional people function according to societies expectations are different things. The point is, a sage does not exist in reality, sages exist in Leos mind because of his conditioning. We are sold these role models like the Buddha and Christ, but we dont even know if these people existed, let alone how they actually were. Leo is subject to a subtle form of propaganda and is deluded by his own imagination. Therapists are fine for teaching compassion to a person who has not had much decent coaching. We all need teaching, but at the high levels where its a pursuit of liberation, then the differentiation stops and the things that kept the partially sane person functioning are unravelled and discarded. I spent ten years "developing" myself with a psychotherapist and it nearly sent me to the nut house. Its just a big fat ideal based on unsubstantiated theories. Spiritual purification practices undo all these values, because values are what cause suffering. Values only exist for people who need rules, the enlightened person is working towards getting rid of all this crap.

Find a deeper meaning? LOL, there is no meaning. Meaning is ego, youre still deluded by the ego but you cant see it. Youre on here pretending to care or something, youre not actually liberated at all, you just think you are.

What? Im actually here because I have a conditioning to argue. Its not something I can let go of overnight. But one day it will drop, and I wont be on here talking enlightenment. Its impersonal, its not me doing this, its conditioning. That takes a long time to get over and im watching how it agaitates my mind arguing with idiots who want to win arguments because they think they know something, or are here to "help" others out of "compassion". It isnt compassion, its self serving to make yourself feel better. Otherwise you would not do it. I do wish people would stop lying to themselves, but hey, that is my problem and one that i will get over one day - people lie to themselves, get over it kurt.

Delusion. Youre full of delusion, thats why it seems cold to you. Once you understand that everything is the same then that is compassion itself. Compassion is knowing that there is no difference between a lump of turd and a nugget of gold. Yet the yogi does not take the turd to the bank - thats the functional aspect. Paths teach compassion because most people are so egoic that they could do with a little self development to get their minds quiet. But when you see that its all the same then you start to see that you ARE compassion, that compassion is not something you need to cultivate or do, only a person who has nutralized their ego understands that the bank robber is the same as them. This does not mean you set out to heal the world, the world is already fine, it was YOU who had the problem with the world because you made these dualistic differentiations.

You got to understand that most these ideals are born of ignorance based on egoic differentiations and are nothing to do with reality. Reality is nondualistic, a bank robber is the same as an enlightened mahatma. Have goals by all means, do what you are blessed to do, but leos ideas are not based on functional ability, they are based on developing character traits that only exist in the egoic mind and are not actually real. Thats why they are absurd, because they are the ego romanticizing enlightenment. A real mahatma would laugh at this because its delusion. Suffering is not an illusion, its self inflicted because of the ego. But the suffering does not come from not being perfect, it comes from the ego trying to BE perfect, and making differentiations that are not actually there. Empathy is a delusion, sorry but it is. Adults understand that people live and die, why would a mahatma leave his bliss to get upset about things he has no control over. Ideals of compassion and emotional empathy are delusions based on chopping reality up into bits and trying to control reality. This is not enlightenment, its boo hoo bullshit of the "grown up" inner child who is conditioned to believe in compassion and empathy.

No, Im not judging, Im using my mind to point out your bullshit, and you think you know xyz where you actually dont. if you want to disengage your critical mind for the sake of your childish egalitarian emotional psychotherapy bullshit, then be my guest. But be warned, it wont get you anywhere except running around in circles labelling people "narcissists" and "judgemental" because the call you an idiot. You are an idiot, and the reason you are is because you are attached to things that are not of your experience, thats an idiot. Consciousness evolved language so we can call idiots what they are. Until you learn to grow up and stop using big words that you know very little about, then you remain an idiot. Sorry about that.
