@Preety_India your mom is you yourself, why will you do it to your daughter? Thoughts arise from beliefs and assumptions, so you might impose your own unmet desire to your daughter, maybe something else. But you already have that answer.

In his latest video, Leo talks about making finer distinctions between things of the same nature. Applying that idea to sam harris, I got to know his views make very finer distinctions between the fundamental nature of everything including science and religions. About spirituality Sam says "nothing irrational about seeking the states of mind that lie at the core of many religions. Compassion, awe, devotion, and feelings of oneness are surely among the most valuable experiences a person can have." He also makes very fine distinctions about Science and morality, Free will, and AI. While doing so he puts rationality as the main axiom similar to Immanuel Kant. Now, on the other hand, Leo says that objective truth just doesn't exist. He covers everything into the blanket of infinity and doesn't make any efforts to analyze and make finer distinctions but tries to find mostly the unifying theme when it comes to religions and philosophy, which he is an expert on. He also rejects Sam for having rationality above everything. I still don't get his critical viewpoint on Sam harris. Leo, Assuming you have done your research on him, will you care to elaborate?

@Leo Gura some people have not even scored their first virgin?

Very interesting... Leo, when will be able to read your much awaited book?

@Nahm Yes, it is.

consciousness can be anything even rationality.

@Nahm everything is imagination, thinking is imagination, rationality is reality, you are rationality

Understander is reality, not undertaker

@Someone here read it again I said rationality doesn't have limits

@Someone here depends on how you define rationality. This is irrational because you can rationalize about anything that comes into your consciousness, so it doesn't have limits.

@Jacobsrw Rationality is not just limited to expressing oneself aka language, but it's a process of using intelligence to derive truth, without it, you won't be able to recognize falsehood masquerading as truth.

@Jacobsrw you are talking from the perspective of an unawakened person, and that's correct. but can you take the perspective if you are deriving it for yourself? @Tanz you can say this about anyone, even a monk who is meditating in a remote cave is doing it for his ideas.

@Preety_India I found spiritual people some of the most rational beings, so what do you mean by transcending rationality? Every book for what, decoration? why do you think the left is not dogmatic. Why do you take SD for the truth? he appreciates religion for values like compassion, awe, devotion, and feelings of oneness. Please let me know about these mysterious forces, you have encountered.

@dimitri I got the experience, did you? I got no tensions what may I release by crying? @Jacobsrw isn't any metaphysics deduced by the use of rationality itself? as human consciousness, rationalistic analysis all you got apart from blind faith. if you rejected materialism just after someone told you so, I will suggest you try to start using your mind sometimes.

@dimitri yeah also Leo=Apple

@The observer No, because I am able to decide from the source itself, any secondary critics not needed. @Preety_India oh, is that so? But what if I already understand Leo's perspective, and you are just projecting on me your ignorance. What if you have a big spiritual ego, which has nothing to do with growing you spiritually? Do you even read and try to understand sam harris or just blindly follow Leo's preachings? I would suggest you take a break from spiritual teachings and try to think for yourself, it would grow you the most. @Leo Gura He is interesting, enriching, and to the point in certain cases, but yes if you are a staunch follower It can be a trap for sure.

So Sam Harris made the claim that he is Awake, but you are saying he is not, you got some beef against him?

@Freakyboo I will decide the value of his ideas based on my own rationality, not what is being talked about in pop culture.

@The Lucid Dreamer So sam unified more aspects, and that's why he is able to make finer distinctions? @Leo Gura am I awake, who is the authority to decide the degree of awakening, Isn't this just judging and projecting?

@Preety_India sure faith is important but without rationality it's not possible to use your own brain, which is beautiful organ, and I would rather like to use it to make distinctions. I would rather watch sam Harris podcast to understand his perspective than the critic video you put in here. Preying on feeble mind, controlled opposition?? Please explain how,

Trinity is Christian attempts to copy from hindu mythology in which God nature is vaguely divided into brahma vishnu and mahesh responsible forces of creation, maintenance and destruction respectively.

@Amit naive realism does exist even if we are consciousness, space time and other beings still exist. I'm consciousness doesn't invalid the scientific theories as they also derived using consciousness. If we are not conscious of an object and place, it is still there, it's just that we are not aware. So naive realism is also a truthful paradigm. Isn't it?

@Leo Gura what if I'm not as gifted ?

A blue stage belief system not gonna eradicated in once, you have to make efforts later and then again and again. still there are going to be people, who will hold on to it, if that makes their survival easier. to dismantle once own beliefs, and accept others completely foreign perspective needs radical open-mindedness, that's simply not possible for every person. even higher stages folks are in lower spiral stages and closeminded at times.

@Orchid Wonderful journey, divine brother. Actualized.org has changed many lives and will keep doing. Leo is giving away so much of wisdom and knowledge, as well the community of such beautiful transformed souls, that too just for free. I wonder if anyone else has ever done that. Your journey resonates with me very well, I also have started seeing the energy consciousness, each moment started feeling high definition, even when I am in my room on the third floor, and there is no garden. but the objects seem more going into them, even a pen seems magical, and my laptop is the 8th wonder of this world, so I convey my gratefulness to Leo too for all this.
