Just wanted to let you guys know, in case somebody were to wonder. I'll change the email and password to something unrememberable so I won't have access. The reason I'm leaving is because you all suck! Just kidding, it just feels like the right thing to do for me personally so now I'm officially closing this chapter. It has been great knowing you all. Bye!

Rest with the feeling of "I". No need to over-complicate.

"If we look to the avatars, great teachers, and enlightened sages throughout history, their descriptions of the Ultimate Reality (God) are the same. There is an absolute concordance that Divinity is infinitely compassionate, loving, peaceful, silent, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and benign. It is obvious to all that the essence of God shines forth as Creation and is the Infinite Totality and Source of all existence. Divinity is without parts or division." Hawkins, David R.. I: Reality and Subjectivity: 1 . Hay House. Kindle Edition.

Socializing for gain, I'd assume.

Face the inner tyrant. Make it your teacher instead.

Conspiracy theories generally come from a place of anger. Inherent in anger is a belief of "us vs them", "bully vs victim", you get the gist. Oftentimes it also comes from a place of pride. "I know something other people do not, and thus I am superior"

In my view the pain body is merely the cumulative energy of suppressed emotions, which you can become aware of through mindfulness. Triggering events simply open the gates. This phenomenom is discussed in "The Tao of Fully Feeling" by Pete Walker, as well as "Letting Go" by David R. Hawkins.

It works pretty much the same way as Siri, so it's not very sophisticated. "When Sophia is talking to Fallon or the United Nations, it’s really being handed the lines. It might determine when it’s the right time to say something, but those pithy one-liners aren’t from the robot." https://qz.com/1121547/how-smart-is-the-first-robot-citizen/

I have spent a decent amount of time looking for high-consciousness music. This is what I have found.

Bach Secret Garden Enya Songs: Parchebel - Canon in D Gabriel's Oboe - Ennio Morricone Ave Maria Silent Night Joy to The World Amazing Grace U. S. Navy Hymn Jesu Bleibet Meine Freude You Raise Me Up Also, LOTS of classical music I didn't mention.

Congrats!

Fine post. ?

Reading, contemplation and Truth. So yeah, essentially just doing all I can to dissolve all obstacles to Truth. Does the prospect of doing so make me feel overjoyed upon waking up in the morning? No, it's arduous work. But that's where my will goes. Other than that I'm learning to play the piano at the moment, but it has not yet reached the point where it has become a passion.

Take a nap?

Oops, I meant mahasamadhi. The final dissolution into Infinite Love, from which many people do not return.

Says the guy who hasn't even had a sahasamadhi. I'll see myself out

Du-uh. If you're not interested then don't bother.

So?

These quotes seem very relevant to what Leo described. I figured I'd just post them here as well. They primarily describe the transition from the 500's (Love) to the 600's (Enlightenment, bliss, formlessness) on the Map of Consciousness. Interestingly, about 50% of people choose to leave the body upon entering the 600's, like Leo seemingly had the option to do. "Enlightenment proper, that is, the replacement of duality with nonduality, calibrates at 600 or over. We could say that any calibration of 600 or more formally denotes enlightenment. At about the calibrated level of 600, bliss intervenes and worldly activity stops, sometimes permanently. If the person is destined to remain in the world, this state is said to ‘ripen’, and there is a slow return of the capacity to function. Some enlightened ‘persons’ retreat to spiritual practice and meditation and evolve into the 700s. At that level, the world as commonly described is no longer a self-existent reality. There are neither separate persons nor a world that needs saving. All is evolving according to Divine Will. The world is surrendered to God, and its destiny is self-fulfilling. No intervention is necessary. All life is the evolution of consciousness and the unfolding of Creation. [...] Only pure consciousness devoid of content can pass through the barriers of perception and become the clear water beyond the screen. When it is said that no person can be enlightened, it means that personhood is filtered out by the screening and cannot pass beyond it. (This statement calibrates at 600.) Q: What does it mean to go into a bliss state? What does one do? What happens? A: To be dissolved into intense, infinite love is overwhelming and incapacitating. There is neither the desire nor the capability to emerge from that state unaided. All bodily functions cease. Even breathing itself may cease and resume only in response to an entreaty from another person who is intensely loving. However, it is not necessary to do so. One has permission by knowingness to leave the body as an option. In this case, in order to acknowledge love, breathing resumed. Perhaps it was decided by karma. However, the choice was also made with the concurrent awareness that any return to physicality was only temporary and the final dissolution back into Infinite Love was inevitable and certain. Compared to the eternity of that infinite state, a short return to the realm of physicality seemed trivial. Q: What if there was nobody around to entreat one to return to worldly life? A: Whether or not those conditions prevail probably depends on karma, circumstances, conditions, Divine Will, and the interaction of the universe as a totality. If there were no entreaties, then the body would expire, which at the time would be quite agreeable. When Ramana Maharshi went into that bliss state spontaneously, he was not discovered for some lengthy period by which time he had been severely bitten by many insects and had been without sustenance for an unknown number of days. He was entreated to drink and eat. He responded slowly and eventually resumed movement and function; however, he did not speak in language for another two years. Q: Does the sense of self disappear? After all, the ego fears death. A: When the self dissolves into the Self, it is experienced as a great expansion from limited, transitory, and vulnerable to immortal, infinite Allness that transcends all worlds and universes. As such, the Self is not subject to death or birth, as it exists beyond temporality. The obscurity of the Self was the result of merely misidentifying perception as representing all Reality. [...] The EEG of the enlightened sage is dominated by slow Theta waves (4–7 cycles per sec.), which make functioning in the ordinary world quite difficult. In that state, the option to leave the world at any time persists and is a permanent, open option as though it was part of a silent agreement or knowingness. There is no obligation to persist or continue. Q: How then does earthly life resume? A: After a period of years, adjustment is made with the relearning of communication styles and a reacquaintance with human affairs sufficient to function. Recent history had to be caught up on. This can be accomplished by getting a television, watching the news reports, and reading newspaper headlines. There is an ongoing dialog within the overall field of human consciousness that is as though transparent by its essence; and by recognition, it offers aspects with which one has an option to respond." Hawkins, David R.. The Eye of the I . Hay House. Kindle Edition.

Have you tried A Course in Miracles? The level of unconditional love is well-attainable for anyone within this lifetime. Personally the book "The Tao of Fully Feeling" by Pete Walker opened me up a lot, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Inner child work in general is very powerful for getting in touch with self-love. Even if you were to get a peek through psychedelics, you would still need to expend a lot of energy in your daily life in order to remove the blockages and make it permanent.

I'd put her content in the "basic self help" category. In other words, suitable for people that are struggling.

You don't need psychedelics to raise your consciousness. Enlightenment is available to all, regardless of circumstances. Don't make the mistake of projecting Enlightenment onto something external, like psychedelics. It might take longer time, but there is really no hurry.

The method is the same? You really thought Leo was planning to put a bullet in his head? No, this goes way deeper than that. Rest in peace to your friend, by the way. Here is a quote describing what Leo seemingly had the option to go through: Hawkins, David R.. The Eye of the I. Hay House. Kindle Edition. So no need to worry. That is, unless you're very attached to the physical existence of Leo.

That was a beautiful video, Leo.

Regarding un-imagining limits, I wanted to share a trick that has helped me a lot (got it from David R. Hawkins). Whenever you feel limited by anything, say to yourself: "I am an infinite being and not subject to that" It's just incredible how efficient this statement is for deprogramming oneself and cutting attachments.
