Who believes that their reality is separate and apart from overall existence ? Share your idea of what is reality and what is existence.

I believe you should research the' Ego.' Try to understand it and Become aware of all the things that makes up your personality and how your emotion literally manipulate you. Leo have good videos on this subject. And if your serious i would Highly recommend this book, 'The Psychology of Mans Possible Evolution,' saw it in one of Leo's video; its a really great read. With this book and a little open mindedness, you will definitely see progress. So read the book, then research the Ego and try to see/ become aware when your emotions are controlling your actions . At this point you have entered self inquiry. Signs you know your making progress: You will start to notice that you always want people to please you. In other words to satisfy your Ego (you) --- Ask yourself, why do you get annoyed by other people- and try to become aware that you only want to be pleased as an individual, keep us updated.

I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely asking why does everyone in this forum including myself, trust Leo ? Most of us have never met him, but in a sense most of us completely trust him. Its like we're all running on emotion. Leo could be a pedophile for all we know, but we don't care, we still love him, a total stranger. So why don't we feel this same emotion towards other strangers? Is it because we feel a sense of: loyalty or obligation toward Leo. I Know for a Fact that there are some people on this forum that will start a Fighting and Troll other YouTube channels for his sake. But this is how religions are started, we think someone else is better than us and have more Spiritual wisdom; so we put them on a pedestal and at this point we're ready to take up arms against someone for the sake of that special person. We need to accept the fact that Leo is not more special that any of us. And the Leo we know and love is indeed an Ego, that have it's own selfish agenda. The sooner we a realize that Leo is not perfect or special, the emotion we have towards Leo (The Ego) will start to change, and that's the interesting part. 1) Why do we feel positive emotion to towards people that we perceive to be better than us. 2) Why can't we feel the same way toward other strangers? 3) why is it, that this question have never occurred to must of ?

@Azrael LoL true... Just want to raise awareness for some of the people just starting out.... Our Emotions let us behave the way we do... Just try to observe anyone around you emotion plays a big part on how we behave.... this is our auto pilot phase.

I just realize that I am ' Literally ' not the mental image in my head. I am the awareness that i experience. Yes I can see physical objects but not in the Literal sense. The only physical object Animals can see is light; Then again any idea you have of light is a thought and thoughts are only symbols we use to represent a feeling we are aware of, this feeling does not have a name in the true sense but you can become aware of it. This leave me to believe that everything that i am aware of is me. Right now I know that i am 100% awareness (Don't mistake to think i am 100% aware of everything around or within me, i know there is more awareness to be had.) also, I now know that i have never seen my Literal Face, Hands, foots, neck , ears etc. I have them but i am not them. I also feel like the Outside World but i have to be in direct contact with it; i have to touch it. This is where i become aware that i still lack a lot of awareness, so Question : is there / do you believe there is more awareness ? And this feelings is amazing, how long will it last ? Starting to become more aware of the Ego; Please share your experience !!

@Barna @PureExp What i believe @Principium Nexus is trying to findout, is : what do you guy's do to maintain your awareness for a long period of time; Like how to train yourself to maintain pure awareness, do you have a technique that you developed yourself ? I can become aware multiple times for the day but only for a short period of time.

@pluto Thank you, that was insightful . I would like to know which psychedelic you have experiment with and which you think it is the best

@cetus56 I did not know that you can get magic mushrooms in Jamaica. I will start asking around, thank you and i will keep you in the loop.

@Barna I know mediation alone can carry you only so far, I actually want to try a psychedelic drug on Leo's list but because I live in Jamaica it's not easy to get them, so I am playing the waiting/patience game for now.

@PureExp@Neo @Barna @Visionary @Principium Nexus I also believe it is a language thing, I feel like everyone is talking about the same thing but our Ego's and the obvious language barriers make it difficult for us to fully 100% agree with each other. This is what I am seeing everyone saying in a nutshell : " This is awareness/enlightenment, I maybe wrong but I really don't think I am." But if you have experience it you will know for a fact what it is, I am not even going to give it a name you will just know what it is, no amount of reasoning can express how you truly feel, because you will still feel unsatisfied after you made your post. I hope everyone keep sharing their experience and remain open minded because this well be the best form of motivation for myself and many others

@Barna This is a good question and i believe its because I was living in the 'land of thoughts' constantly thinking about Something (my budget, weekly objectives, reality, sex, self improvement/development etc...) all these are important but I had no control over my thought, so I was never or hardly in the moment. I do believe it is possible to loose the little awareness you have and go on autopilot mode. So in a sense i do believe you have to work hard in order to maintain and build up your awareness. For example I realize that this morning when I was walking to the bus stop i had little awareness compare to what i had last night. So there is different levels to awareness or whatever it is. I maybe wrong , I would love to hear what you think !!

@PureExp No i did not use any of the drugs on the list. I Really am fascinated by the Ego, I am both Annoyed and intrigue by Ego's of others. I Really don't know how to express myself so i am happy there is a community here that I can relate to. When i said ' believe ' earlier i really meant to say Accepted.. In my experience after i realizing that i am not my body, I felt sacred so i stared to believe i am the Brain; it felt like everything I was aware of came together and was one like a big pot of stew, I said to myself " I must be the brain, the brain is the only place thoughts come together to be one " and that's how i started to get comfort, then it happen. I became aware that the brain was only a thought/idea , it took a lot out of me to let go of the idea that i am the Brain, ( image getting a rope burn from a very high fall, the rope burn it self is agonizing; felt like i was getting multiple rope burn) After becoming aware of the Ego and knowing that I am not it, I felt amazing, I almost cried out of frustration because it was so obvious that this was all there is. ..... It felt exciting at the same time. this is the best way I can articulate it...

Alan Watts is my favorite philosopher so far because i can relate to him the most, you should check him out and let me know whats your impression of him.
