@Dodo @RMQualtrough It is possible on higher states of consciousness, but don't take my word for it. Go verify it yourself if you want to know.

The truth is that all of Leo's teaching (and all other teachings) are directly verifiable. So don't believe/disbelieve anything, go do the work and verify them for yourselves. As Leo and other teachers have been saying over and over again. You want to know if you are the only thing that exists? Or if your mum has independent experience? Reach higher states of consciousness and you will find out.

@BipolarGrowth Nothing to do with misinterpretation, it is what I find and verified myself. Of course, this level of truth is not possible to truly convey in language, but the truth is the truth. The awareness of the existence of others completely depends on your consciousness level. The higher the level, the greater expansion/inclusion the self becomes. You as everything/nothing/infinite love is just that; you as the ego is also that, but in your direct experience, you are not conscious of it, thus creating separation in experience. Once you reach higher levels of consciousness, you can experience both your individual experience and other people's experience in first person since you are them. So in truth, the self is both independent and collective, both unified and separated, both infinite and finite. It's imagining an independent/collective experience as God. You can become conscious of this very process of creation/imagination directly in higher states of consciousness.

You as an ego and Leo and your mum are all having independent conscious experiences, but you as God IS all of the conscious and unconscious experience/existence combined.

Everything is designed to maximize love. God has already created all possible existence at all times, the infinite chain of causation in this existence is to make the experience as entertaining as possible. To intensify love more and more. If it's easy it won't feel as intense/meaningful, to realize just how much love this is God will put you through hell and back so then when you do realize it, the contrast makes it so much more beautiful.

@amorri1010 Yeah, China has a free market, but it is controlled by the state. When something gets out of hand or if there is a monopoly or other negative impacts (like the recent crypto ban due to environmental cost), the state will implement laws to prevent those things, so capitalism is always under control. But other than that, the market is really free, and people can trade and do business freely for the most part. They are very capitalistic when it comes to the economy, but they still have control of the market to a degree to balance things.

Capitalism is a natural process needed to move towards socialism/communism. Communism will only happen when most of the population reach yellow or higher, and technology has advanced to the point where resource becomes abundant. Most implementation of communism failed because they didn't understand the process of ego development. If they did, they would realize that communism will not happen unless people are educated and developed. Capitalism is a stage that can't be skipped; it must be experienced and integrated. Overall we are moving towards communism but very slowly, in 100-200 years maybe. Think Star Trek. Short term wise, socialism is the next stage for most to transition to, to reach a balance between class differences while maintaining capitalism to a large degree.

It's actually the opposite. Once you have God-realization, you are free to do whatever you want. Life is a game you are playing with yourself for entertainment, so why not entertain yourself to the max. Yes, you are already God, but the whole reason why you created all this in the first place is so you can experience everything. We are doing this infinitely for eternity because it is infinitely entertaining. Once you realize this, you will laugh at how perfectly everything is designed. So it shouldn't discourage you from living, but rather freeing you to live more fully and accept every experience with gratitude because they are all love. And it is such a beautiful thing that you are where you are right now. Out of all the infinite possibilities in existence, you are a human on planet earth searching for meaning. You cannot see the sheer beauty of this moment until you have God-realization and have spent eternity being God.

@Javfly33 You should. You can only find it for yourself.

We are infinite consciousness. All that can exist already does. God doesn't have to only create one universe; it already created all the universes and existence and dimensions possible. It is all that can and cannot exist combined. To God, this is effortless.

@TheSomeBody It's a very complex situation. Feel free to add sources that provide context for Hamas.

Yes, without integration, there won't be any growth.

If you've gone deep enough with psychedelic, you will realize the level of consciousness that you can reach on them is almost impossible to reach with meditation. You can have maybe 1% of the maximum level of consciousness you can reach in psychedelic with hardcore meditation. Psychedelic can definitely raise your baseline level sometimes even more than meditation. However, this is not to say that meditation is not important. Hardcore meditation will ultimately lead you to a state of pure being, where you are embodying the ultimate truth on a conscious level. In this state, you've surrendered all illusions, and only awareness of existence remains. Once you reach this state, if you then take a psychedelic, you are then capable of reaching the maximum level of consciousness since you can now surrender all of existence and go all the way. Once you've gone all the way, the concept of baseline or levels of consciousness will become less important since you are now all of them, and you will never be anything else. However, it's also important to integrate your trips through contemplation and meditation. If you just take psychedelic 24/7 without integrating them, you will never go really deep on trips, since your baseline is static. Think of psychedelic as an amplifier that amplifies what you already embody. If you are only gaining insights and not embodying anything, you will just stay at the same place.

It goes on infinitely for eternity. The concept of fate or ending itself is constructed. You are reality/existence itself. Existence/GOD/Nonexistence is always unifying and separating over and over again. When you are God, you can create stories and experiences that are infinitely entertaining; thus, there is no reason ever to stop.

This one is really good and easy to use. You can also anime in it. https://www.chaoticafractals.com/ This one is more advanced, going into other simulations and generative art aside from fractals. https://softology.com.au/voc.htm

Lucid dreaming is a legit practice that can lead to awakening. I've had God-consciousness level experience in lucid dreams. Some masters of lucid dreams can even construct and manipulate reality at will when they are dreaming. Because reality itself is a dream. But that takes years of practice and mastery. Essentially reaching the God-self in dreams where dream and reality merge.

@Windappreciator They are very much choosing for themselves. By leaving political and governmental problems to those who are competent. If the government is incompetent, they will protest and voice their problems. The government knows well that if the people are unsatisfied, they will overthrow the government, so the government devotes itself to serving the people. The people are still holding the government accountable, and its faith comes from the result that the government brings to each citizen. The result is all that matters to them, are their lives improving? Are their problems being solved? If the US can solve problems for them better than the CPC, the Chinese people would overthrow their government for a superior system(jk). In terms of spiral development, they are mainly orange/blue, with a very small portion of the population going into green. Really not that different from the US, other than that the developmental speed is more normalized since the living condition of Chinese is going up collectively not individually. So in the US, you have people all over the spiral with some very highly developed individuals and some really underdeveloped ones. But in China, development is more normalized to a steady pace across society due to collectivism and socialism. So individually, they develop at a slower speed, but more people are moving up simultaneously. You seem to have some negative beliefs about China or ethics regarding China. Yes, China has done unethical things in the past but so does every nation in the world. I think is important to have a holistic and true understanding of China before believing/judging too quickly. China today is very different from China just a few years ago. China changes extremely fast. I recommend going to China to see for yourself what it's like, or just study a bit more of Chinese history/culture/politics to have a more holistic understanding of it.

Democracy is good especially for a developed nation with a medium/small population, but it is not absolute good. Democracy is a natural stage of societal development, but not a stage that can be forced. In other words, democracy alone will not bring healthy development of society, but the healthy development of society will naturally develop democracy over time. Trying to implement democracy in an underdeveloped society will do more harm than good. As someone who also has lived in both China and the US, I think both are moving toward democracy(or better democracy for the US). However, the definition of democracy is very different between the two due to cultural differences. To most Chinese people, democracy is very pragmatic and not ideological. In Chinese, the word democracy literally means "people first." To them, the ability to vote for the president doesn't matter as long as the government is putting the people first and serving the people. Which the Chinese government is doing and the living condition of the entire nation is improving every day. They don't care about the right to choose what policy to vote for because the government listens to their feedback and helps solve their problems. They care about the freedom to buy houses and cars and have a family and business, and just living better lives, for that they are okay with sacrificing the right to own a gun or to vote. In terms of day-to-day life, the Chinese people have just as much freedom as people in the US. The Chinese government is super efficient, and they get things done really fast; if you've been to China in the past 20 years, you will see this clearly, the speed of development in China is insane. The truth is Chinese people support the Chinese government because they help them live a better life. Harvard study shows that 95% of the Chinese people support the government. I think as development continues they will naturally become more and more democratic as people become wealthier and more educated and their society develops consciously. It's all part of the process. The Chinese government is not a dictatorship; it is very authoritarian if you compare it to the US, but power is distributed within the party, and there are parties within the CPC that represent different aspects/parts of the nation. I wrote about their governmental system here. In the US, I think there is a problem that's showing the weakness of democracy. When you have a population that's not developed consciously enough to the point of good sensemaking, the population will be very easily manipulated. Thus those who have control over information and media have control over democracy. The super-rich will have the most power and continue to grow their capital while the living condition of the rest gets worse and worse. This is also a natural part of the process tho, as more and more people become developed, they will see the manipulation more clearly and fight against it. Currently, there has been a cold war between the US and China/Russia for a while now. So take everything you see with skepticism because all western media will only report negative news on China. Basically, good news from China is ignored, and bad news is made 10 times worse. Not to say that China is all good, but that most western mainstream media is so biased against China. This is all to manufacture consent in the public for a potential hot war with China. Same way as how they did it to Iraq and other middle eastern nations. China's development is a huge threat to those in power because China's system(Chinese socialism) is the opposite of their ideal. They will lose all their power and capital if China continues to grow. This is why they need to make China seems like the greatest threat. These days almost all media is biased, so I think the best thing to do is to listen to all perspectives and draw a line in the middle. That's probably the closes to the truth. Here are some sources of other perspectives just to balance the narrative: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxEQsjgRRfGWiJJu_PDygxw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXR8pRTkE2vFeJePNe9UcQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiXhsI4QtmQaeICpT-k7BQ https://www.youtube.com/c/BarrettYT/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG29FnXZm4F5U8xpqs1cs1Q

I think it's just a different approach to teaching. To the experience of a human, there are definitely different states of consciousness. But to God, God is all the states of consciousness. These teachers are describing the ultimate truth from God's perspective, and it might work for some, but it's unlikely that this way of teaching will lead to direct experiences of really high states of consciousness. Not impossible, but much harder. It's more for those who are already close to the realization of God as existence, but it might mislead others who are less developed. The realization is very important, but it's not the endpoint for God-realization. The realization of existence will lead to a state of pure beingness, which is needed for awakening. It's really the beginning of higher consciousness since now you can surrender much more easily. @Leo Gura Yeah, both directions lead to each other. When you reach the absolute extreme of infinite infinity, you will end up in absolute nothingness as infinite God/love. The two are merged in the end when you go all the way. The same goes for nothingness. When you reach the absolute extreme of nothingness, you reach infinite God/love. Once they are merged, it's like the ultimate strange loop; every infinity is infinitely nothing and infinitely loving and whole at the same time. All of these differences and ideas and preferences and teachings are infinite love/nothing/us, making this experience more entertaining.

Go to a good ayahuasca retreat. They usually have doctors and shamans on-site and a lot of sitters to keep you safe throughout the trip.

Yes, if you didn't stop and go all the way, you would merge into the ultimate truth/God/Nothingness. Your physical reality will melt in infinite love, and everything will merge into one absolute nothingness. In a physical sense, you are dead. But since you are God, you can just recreate reality in an instant and come back if you desire so. Going all the way requires the total surrendering of everything in your existence. Liberation and true awakening is attained after you come back from such experience.

@machiavelli Yes, I have gone all the way.

If you go deep enough in trips, you will unravel everything in existence, including any concept or ideas. Once you reach this point, you will have no questions or doubts left. The idea of a brain itself or even the idea of ideas themselves is unraveled in the infinite void. So go deeper, and you will see.
