I feel like reading this damn post was a trip in and of itself (no pun intended x2) In all seriousness, though, name me ONE “spiritual master” who has not had these doubts, fears, tribulations, whatever you want to call them. And those so called “carefree people” like the ones living it up at the shopping malls and amusement parks, and the ones partying it up in Vegas (I’m looking at you Leo), do you think they don’t have any doubts either?

Well... another way you can look at it is asking yourself the good ol’ cliched question of: “who are you?” And, yes, that statement you are skeptical about may or may not be true. Like how it may or may not be true that you’re reading this sentence right now. For sure. I’m blessed to have even discovered this path. I’m sure Leo is too. And you. And my next door neighbor. I feel a greater sense of hope for humanity because there is no curse to be found unless I want there to be.

I can relate to this (diagnosed w/ OCD and anxiety disorders). It’s symbolic in that, whilst trying to obsessively find a solution to things; also worrying endlessly about a future scenario, there is no satisfying answer or result to be found. If there is such a thing, it only satisfies temporarily. Honestly, I think people with these conditions are very intuitive and have a lot to contribute to society just by our very nature... it’s just that current societal norms and ways of living don’t bother trying to discover our potential.

Likewise, they are also different

@Nahm I used to love being right all the time... until I realized I was also wrong!

Do you really think that someone who is selflessly helping out in a poor community gives a damn about dying from thieves or getting anything back in return from that community?

I love this question.

This reminds me of Chester Bennington. He was a beautiful soul, and during his final moments on earth he spoke about love and the journey of finding that which does not need to run away from problems. He perfectly expressed anger and frustration in his music; millions of people now and in the future will be impacted by his life on earth.

First, I’d say that it’s a good practice to slowly drop labels like “this is good”, “this is obsessive, compulsive”, etc. Trust me, I personally have OCD and I can say from experience that these types of labeling will go on forever and ever. The mind will seek things to be a “perfect reality” (for your idea of reality, of course). Make up your mind about what you want to do, and stay with it for a while. Start slow. Assess from your own direct experience if it feels “obsessive” or not. If it does, you can drop it and try a different technique. Ultimately if you are expecting a negative thought to come up for you in the future, it will arise for you. The same thing applies if you are wishing for no negative thoughts to arise.

He spent over 9000 hours doing pickup and he earned eternal access to Absolute Love Look at your own direct experience. You are confused by the 4th law, therefore you are confused.

There is a meaning if you want there to be. There is a plan if you want there to be. There are awakening tools if you want there to be. It’s all up to you. Trust yourself!

Damn, that took me a while to get. You “higher stage folks” are geniuses

Hey Leo. I recall years ago that you said you had a (hyper?)thyroid and take medication for it. If I may ask, do you still take medication for it, or were you able to get that under control and don’t take them anymore? I was diagnosed with a high thyroid and will be seeing an endocrinologist in November.

The singer, Mark Hoppus, actually explained that this song was written about a bad psychedelic trip he had when he was younger. Someone slipped a psychedelic in his drink, so he had no idea what was going on.

“Even Da Vinci couldn't paint you And Stephen Hawking can't explain you Rosetta Stone could not translate you I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words I couldn't put it in a novel I wrote a page, but it was awful Now I just want to sing your gospel I'm at a loss for words, I'm at a loss for words”

Is this half-assing meditation practice, or is it acceptable? Of course this question applies to people who are able to; those who don’t have a physical or mental condition that prevents them from sitting still for long periods of time.

@winterknight I really commend you for that honest response. I am going to now introspect and be on an indefinite hiatus from posting on this forum about enlightenment questions because this is a lot, if not too much information I’m trying to take in at once. It feels like being awarded a lifetime pass to an all-you-can-eat buffet that you could enter at any time, but instead I’m lost in imagining how tasty the food will be and what kinds of foods will be served. I will PM you if I have any serious doubts or concerns (: Thanks again!

What’s your take on Leo’s comment about you? Thought it’d be fair that you knew about this, if you didn’t already He made a video explaining his awakening to this. It’s 48 minutes long, but I think it’s worth your time watching since this is making a lot of people confused on here (I say confused because the Absolute Love topic has 200+ posts in less than a week). Leo’s claim is that becoming awakened to your true nature is just one out of many facets of this work to become conscious of, and that you’re not fully awake until you are. Do you care to explore about this “Absolute Love”? Does it matter to you that you’re supposedly “not fully awake”?

Ditto. Let’s do this.

Thank you for this post <3 Even when I am feeling so confused, lost and hopeless by all the seemingly endless paradoxes on here, I somehow find myself loving myself and everyone on here even more because I’m seeing that we can all speak our individual voices freely and openly without being completely ignored, while simultaneously being guided back to the One source (:

@winterknight Sometimes when I go to do a self-inquiry session (in silence; without doing anything else), spontaneous insights about why I behave in certain ways or where it stems from arise in a verbal, but very clear form. I think they sometimes also arise when I find myself reliving past events and then I have an “aha!” moment where I’m able to connect the dots. The insights are profound in that I never get them this deep when I’m in my regular monkey-mind waking state. Should I just let go the insight and inquire who is aware of it... because I get really tempted to write down that insight. I do convince myself to wait until the session is over, but then I forget about the insight

If you are 100% certain about this, aren’t you considering creating a course or a mini series about it? Or is even the use of language and real life example not going to cut it?

Can any living being on this earth be “fully enlightened”? If you say there are facets to the Absolute, I can only imagine from my limited knowledge that there are infinite facets. How the hell would a human being be able to walk the earth permanently as that???

@Leo Gura This might be the dumbest question you ever got, but does one need to fully awaken to their true nature first before becoming conscious of Absolute Love? Or can someone become conscious of Absolute Love without knowing their true nature?

@Aeris What I meant to say is that if you believe that your hand is the source of the Force just because you can lift up objects by moving your hand, then you are deluding yourself.
