    Your emotions may cause hatred. My emotions inform me. 

    It's not personal dude, we're just sharing perspectives. 

    You think your emotions inform you because you have never questioned them.

    Contemplate emotions, how do they arise? And why? Stop taking emotions for granted, they're very subjective, you create your emotions, this is the Truth.

    Much love and respect for you ?

    Yes it's all you. But that doesn't mean that you have to like it. 

    There is a difference between having likes and dislikes and being ruled by them (identification). 

    You still want to heed your ego when it comes to discernment. That's what the ego IS FOR! 

    At the moment the ego is using YOU to repress suffering. 

     

    You can like or dislike it (judge it), or you can simply try to understand why it happened in the first place.

    The latter is where you solve the problems. Otherwise, emotions only create more hatred.

    He said the rock is in consciousness. Before he said it is consciousness. The latter which is compatible with materialism.

    I don't think you really get it. He said that we (consciousness) can't get beyond consciousness, therefore we take it as rock bottom. And that's very different from the materialist paradigm, because for matter, we always know that there's more to it, even though we might not be able access it. (Read Max Planck's quote in the beginning of the video).

    Do some consciousness work, you don't know what you're missing out on.

    "But then again, ask yourself: is what you're experiencing right now not fantastical? You're alive, you exist. Look at all these amazing things that's happening around you, it's utterly remarkable. You just take it for granted because you've been alive for so many decades, that you take it for granted. But when you were born, it was all magical and incredible, and none of it made any sense, it was all fantastical, there was no such thing as seeing a dog walking down the street and not being fascinated and blown away by it. It was incredible."

     

    I have been wondering for almost a month about life, experience, consciousness, and being. Just the way how Leo articulated it was so eloquent, it had my heart open. I love you Leo ?

    Great episode, and very mind opening.

    And thumbs up for the beard and the new shirt. They're perfect for you.

    True, but think of the image from a PR perspective:

    CNN Breaking News: "Enlightened master beats follower with sharp stick and enjoys it. What a monster!" ;)

    The whole point is, the enlightened master doesn't have a problem with his anger. It's the outside world that judges him. And unfortunately for him, the outside world ain't as enlightened as he is.

    Sadhguru has been accused of murder and holding followers hostage in his cult. I've been accused of being a pedophile. So yeah... if you're gonna be enlightened, you need to develop a stomach for being misunderstood.

     

    Leo, I told my mother about you, she said you worship the devil and also drink human blood. Seriously, she literally said that.

    And now I'm dumped in my room, she doesn't talk to me anymore.

    Been thinking for a while, just felt like sharing it with you.

    It doesn't make sense only from the ego's point of view, therefore creating so much suffering. If you want happiness or peace of mind, just accept what is as it is.

    Happiness or peace of mind gives you the freedom to do everything you want. This meaninglessness is very meaningful because it creates so much potential.

    P.S. This is life in a nutshell (Good vs. Evil, God vs. Devil, Truth vs. Falsehood, True Self vs. Ego, etc...)

    P.S. I'm not at the level of 100% comprehension of what I just said, not even close, but I can see clearly that it's quite the case, at least conceptually.

    Have a great day, night, whatever. ?

    @Cara

    I know this might sound hard, but this is the only way (imo): You will have to face your fear from 'Hell', know that fear is just a concept built upon illusion and belief, also another way to face this fear is to just accept it (fear of death, fear of Hell, fear of fear). Ask yourself, what is fear? Why should I fear anything at all? Contemplate this topic of fear, and Truth will reveal Itself to you.

    Surrender my friend, let everything go, and go with the flow.

    @Rilles

    I have this technique that I use myself, I kind of created it coincidentally.

    It's very easy and simple, just use any word that has one sonant, make your inner voice say it continuously without ever ending. For example; I use the word 'Om', I make the inner voice say: 'Ooooooooooooo' forever without ever reaching to the 'M'. This gives me good space of no chatter and ability to be in touch with the Spirit.

    I suggest you create a word that has no meaning, so you don't distract yourself with thinking about it.

    This state of imbalance can remain permanent if meditation is one of the several activities you do during a day. Meditation is not an activity, it is way of life. You might be doing something anti-meditative also, you lose your balance again and again.

    It's true what you said, I do many anti-meditative activities. I'll have to make sure I don't get caught up in those activities. Thank you ?

    The one who wants to self improve is the one who needs improvement. 

    The one who wants to improve is the attempt at improving. 

    Every attempt you take starts off with an immediate contradiction. Instead of meditating and all that jive, understand this contradiction very deeply. 

    There can be no meditation or real self inquiry until this is explored and understood. 

    I get what you're saying, the only way to improve is to work on my consciousness, not the other way around. Thank you ?

    @Truth Addict nope, I cant relate to that. If you have panic attack everyday i think its time to see a doctor 

     

    Panic attacks during the day only occur when I think about no self and stuff (my bad I didn't mention that earlier). Other than that everything is quite normal, and I do exercise on a regular basis (60 to 75 mins a week), and everything is fine.

    During sleep, I don't know how to describe the attacks precisely, but I'm quite sure they're thought related.

    I still don't know what to do, but I'm considering seeing a doctor.

    Thanks, and have a good day.

    Hello ?

    Recently, I became aware of my consciousness levels shift every while. Some days they sky-rocket, so I could meditate, inquire, even be extremely mindful throughout the whole day, and perform whatever tasks, all effortlessly. And some other days they go down, so I struggle too much to do those things, sometimes I had to skip my meditation because I don't find it useful just to sit mindlessly. And there are days in between, mild struggle, but I'm cool with it.

    Guys, is that normal? What should I do or consider? Is this state of imbalance temporary or permanent? Or is it a theme of personal development? Was it the case all the time before and I wasn't mindful of it?

    I tried to let go and surrender my desire to control, didn't work out. Or I failed to let go.

    Love to all of you ?

    You are what is aware of thoughts.

    You are also what is aware of no thoughts.

     

     

    I know, this can be tricky though. Because thinking that I'm that is irrelevant.

    What one must realise is that being is beyond thought. Thought is not needed for experiencing Truth.

    When you think you're aware, you lose awareness to thought. When you actually become aware of that then there is Truth. It's unthinkable. Again, it's very tricky, and I'm not a master there yet, I recently started to see that.

    @Nahm Am I correct?
