I remember @Leo Gura said that if you work over 40 hours a week then you are a workaholic. He also said if you work in the weekends then you are a workaholic. I agree with him. Make your life more about just work. Even if it’s your life purpose, it shouldn’t consume so much time. Devote some time to going to the gym, making healthy food and dating.

@Leo Gura But it is true that many muslims become enlightened by practicing devotion towards Muhammad so much, and they build so much love and respect for the prophet, until they achieve a state of merging with the prophet called ‘Fana fi Rasool’, or annihilation with the prophet. Surely this contradicts your earlier statement that devotion can’t lead to enlightenment.

This guy seems to be leading a new front of Islam. Should be inspiring for those of us from Islamic backgrounds:

I was doing some research on Islam, and I found something quite interesting. In Islam, they believe that Allah resides in a space called pre eternity. In pre eternity, the past, present and future are all happening at the same time. Isn’t that a similar description to what non duality says about God. Anyway, if you’re interested, here is the article: https://questionsonislam.com/article/what-time-and-pre-eternity

@Leo Gura Of course your life will change once you realise no-control. Prior to the realisation, you are acting out of the illusion of control. After you realise the illusion, you give up on it. Can I ask you a question. Why did you create Actualized.org? Why do you create videos everyday?

Leo has bad punctuality

@Nahm Disgusting. (You and the post.)

@Tony 845 why can’t you just be enlightened right now

@Leo Gura I know that that’s what you said. But when you say to us “in the next reincarnation you will be Hitler”, who else could you be talking to but our egos? Your first slight of hand was to call it ‘transcendental I’ rather than your usual ‘absolute infinity’. The absolute isn’t personal to me, me and Hitler are both the absolute, at the same time (there is no past or future). If me and Hitler are both the same, how could one die and the next be born. You clearly said that when we die, we will reincarnate into the next person. But we already are them! Right now! Why are you introducing a future. We both know that the future will never come. That video had A LOT of flaws. I don’t even know where to begin. Please don’t talk about things that you have no grasp of. You’re not enlightened. That’s already bad enough.

@Leo Gura can a person’s emotions be used to measure how conscious they are? i.e. the better they feel, the more conscious they are.

@Leo Gura It’s actually very misleading for people to tell us that after we die, we will reincarnate as somebody else. That’s because, in the videos, you are talking to our egoic selves, not our ‘transcendent I’. Reincarnation will always just be a concept. There’s no way you can be in a no-mind state and still perceive that after you die (death is an illusion), you will reincarnate as somebody else. We already are them! Why are you creating a distinction between me and Hitler in the first place. That will only be true if you are talking to our egoic selves. But remember, our egoic selves will not reincarnate.

@Leo Gura of course it isn’t going to happen today. But the ideal will be if you let the people of knowledge, like don beck, take care of the country’s decision making. I was recently listening to his audiobook ‘spiral dynamics integral’. The guy is a fucking angel in terms of knowing what all the political sticking points are, and how to satisfy each of the meme codes.

@Leo Gura Although democracy is better than authoritarianism, it’s still quite naive. Why would you leave major decisions to mostly uneducated people. Wouldn’t it be better to let the academics and other knowledgeable people take care of the decision making. Regular folk usually vote based on emotions, not reason.

@Gligorije Meditation is defence. Self-inquiry is offence.

Really? Why would you go to such a black city. No offence. From Wikipedia, 82.7% black.
