Enlightenment always reminds me of deadpool breaking through the fourth wall for some odd reason

Dogs. The true enlightened being.

The real truth is even truth is a concept that must be let go of. PS one's mental life is physiological in nature, and therefor has physiological affect & one's physiology will in return affect one's mental life.

@Azrael Thank you man. Will pop up every now and then, but mostly popped up here to respond to leo. Responding to every comment on my channel is already taking up a good chunk of my day haha:) @Bob84 lol @ tell that to my landlord, and sure thing. Next video should be up in a couple of hours. @iago iriarte arhatha Agree with most of what you said. Thanks for the love, and will do:) Knowing that you teach as well. If you ever want to collab let me know:)

Life is a game that has rules. One of the rules is you need money to live. Suffering is not pleasurable helping people get rid of it is something they want. Therefor you can do so and make money. In short I do it to turn it into a career and if I can't I will stop.

Fair enough some teachers express the truth in a way that has very little to little impact to the egoic mind. Best example is ug krishnamurti. Love the guy, but his teachings have no effect. Same goes for the "you are already enlightened, there is nothing to do camp" To a lesser extent, because while that is ultimately true. It is a pointless thing to say to one who lives, breathes and sleeps in delusion. Leo for people new to the path is a much better teacher than the ug and the type of teachers mentioned in my previous paragraph. For people already on the path his strong ideas can be detrimental to letting go.

@Prabhaker Because he said it wonderfully, and I can not improve upon it, and since he is one of my teachers I let people know that he is the one that verbalized the truth in said manner.

this is true to an extent. Richard Miller said "after 20 years of yoga. I realized I was no better for it" he then said yoga did its job eventually. Made him stop. I personally chased awakening experience after awakening before realizing I was still resisting reality. That I still though x state is better than y state which I knew was not true. PS Never said Leo is dishonest. He is a seeker though, and a seeker teaching people the path. One who has very strong ideas on enlightenment might lead people astray.

You can be content by dropping all ideas. Decrease the suffering of the world by doing so, and then help people if you want. Or be a judgemental douche that pats himself on the back while saying "I am a nice person. I care" while simultaneously doing nothing to help people. Stop patting yourself on the back my dude, and get off your high midget like horse.

Think when necessary for functional reasons. Do not filter/distort reality with the limitations that are thoughts/concept/language though. Well, if you are on the path. If you are cool with ego. By all means do you boo. "emptiness is for and form is emptiness" -heart sutra Emptiness being the void, and form the sensory world that is birthed and died within it. PS Enlightenment has no point. Stop tripping plz haha

Nope. There is no point. Whatsoever. The point is seeing the rabbit hole as it is. As a hole. That is pointless haha @Leo Gura "What is enlightenment when it is not enlightenment any more"- Adyashanti. This is what "enlightenment" points towards. When you stop trying to box your experience into words/concepts/ideas. From said "point" one becomes completely content. Nothing more. Siddhis, altered states, and etc. Are irrelevant on the path. For the "truth" must be ever present. Not just in certain states. Nor does one to accomplish anything to get it. Altered states are cool projections though. @Prabhaker Yezzir. My laptop is tripping so I am responding to you in this comment haha:)

Have no idea what you are talking about my dude.

Hey Rali here, Someone just facebook messaged me about this thread, and I felt the need to respond. Here is my response. A) This is true, but you seem to think said experiences/altered states of consciousness matter. When they do not, you also seem to think that you are progressing on the spiritual path. When there is no progress to be had. The point is the dropping of all ideas/the acceptance of whatever arises as it is. So one can see reality as it is as opposed what one projects onto reality. B) True. I did not watch the whole video, and apologized after watching the whole thing when it was pointed out to me that you said, said experiences are distractions. Although again, you do appear to attach a lot of importance to altered states or as adyashanti puts it "whacked out spiritual states of mind that are ultimately meaningless". C) This is true. Ultimately everything is a projection onto consciousness, however, the "human medium" which the whole "world" is projected by can be "damaged" in the "real world", and when it is it will correlate to a change is "the real world". If I poke my eye out. I will cease to see out of said eye. If I die. The projections will stop. This is not the case when one is dreaming/or tripping in altered states. D) Chill out bro. It is not that serious:) E) I just watched your video because someone asked/to get views and found it to be amusing/go against the whole point of the path. Again not that serious. F) Wanted to get views/grow my channel. Again. Not that serious. Chill:) G) Understanding enlightenment logically, and chasing it are both pointless. Your ideas, all of them should drop on the path. Including your ideas of enlightenment. Which appear to be very strong. Even though you have state you are not "enlightened" iirc. " You underestimate the depth and diversity of what we're dealing with here too easily." You take it way too seriously. Enlightenment does not matter. It is of no value. It just makes you feel better. It is what it is. You either accept it or delude yourself with fantasies and other bs. "May your mind materialize a big fat demon who bites you in your mind-constructed ass for your arrogance " haha you keep calling everyone who disagrees arrogant. C'mon bruh. Ask yourself who is it that is arrogant? jk haha PS Dude I am enlightened as fuck. I do not need to dig deeper. This comment was made for comedic purposes. For if you care about the idea of enlightenment, think you are getting there or are there. You are deluded. For enlightenment is merely the dropping of all ideas. Enlightenment included.
