I think it means that we are part of one universal mind and that other selves are just you in other bodies simultaneously experiencing reality. The mind is powerful and can conjure up all kinds of thoughts and ideas and visions. Being able to separate the random passing intuitions or visual hallucinations one gets while high on psychedelics or going through mystical experiences from the tangible wise insights that can be used to improve our shared physical reality is what seperates a wise awakened person from someone caught up in a solipsistic delusion/psychosis or going full blown schizophrenic.

Being in a physical body and being human requires having an ego. But instead of unconsciously letting it just get impregnated by your circumstances or foolishly trying to get rid of it, it's possible to build it consciously and making it fluid & strong at the same time. In fact having a fluid ego will prove to be way more powerful than having a rigid one. But it's certainly not about getting rid of the ego, this just builds an even greater unconscious ego that convinced itself it didn't exist anymore. By having a strong ego we can confront greater and greater darkness within ourselves, in the collective (un)consciousness and within transpersonal (un)consciousness. Darkness of depths you couldn't even fathom right now. And only through that darkness will we be able to access higher levels of Divine Ecstasy, which is our True Nature. We have split ourselves in Light & Darkness. It is foolish to believe we could have the one without the other, but it is equally foolish to think that those two wouldn't be fundamentally opposed and in contradiction to one another or that it'd be possible to unite them by just believing "all is one" etc. This is where Turqoise fails. A strong ego will in fact integrate greater and greater Darkness, not by ignoring it, but also not by being in denial about the gravity of it—but by confronting it and re-integrating it with Love—True LOVE! The LOVE that makes you a WARRIOR of LIFE. LOVE that transcends EVERYTHING. The LOVE that loves LIFE totally and fully, with ALL that entails, even when it seems completely impossible. True Love isn't all sunshine and rainbows but has depths one has to first prepare oneself to confront. That's what I'm speaking about. And I repeat: That will allow us to experience Agony & Ecstasies yet undiscovered. It means there's a BEAST waiting to be awakened within yourself. And you better be ready when it does. For that is when the Wild Ride truly begins.

I mean I answered this in my other post on dreams but yes of course, why wouldn't the scientific method work to transcend reality? As a matter of fact how could any other method? If you blink and there you stand in your chair but you are now floating in a red space with multiple planets and strange creatures around I'd argue the first thing you would do is use the scientific method to make sense of what's happening. You would raise your hands in front of your face and touch your body in bewilderment probably. That's a hypothesis that usually you have a body and hands and you are testing if they are still there. You'd perhaps reach into your pockets and see if you have objects that you usually carry like your phone and wallets. I think you guys are underestimating how core the scientific paradigm is to our reality, it's the foundation of rationalism. If you claim you are now post rational you have to describe a framework that's superior to empiricism and the scientific method to explore reality. Remember that the paradigm we used before science was basically just the wisdom of the elders. If you're born and your parents tell you that you should bow down to a bush everyday because "that bush is the sacred God Ozabara and if you do not worship him we are all doomed!" then that's what you did. Until Abrahamic religions that took this random faith and centralized it into the one God and made everything else paganism which only started to unravel in 1543 when Copernicus observed that the earth seems to orbit the sun and not the other way around so perhaps we are not the center of the universe. The scientific method is basically the only tool we have to stop random people from putting their wild random beliefs in our heads. We can test if those beliefs are true and produce the same results that other people have claimed. That's it. You guys throw all this other wild ideology and dogma into Science but there's the method and then there are governments since that time that have sponsored various career scientists to investigate various fields of life since then. @Hojo Plenty of people have talked about having an experience of God without being locked up, it's pretty common for even mainstream people to say that God directly talked to them and revealed mysterious secrets about their life or reality to them. Science described shared reality phenomena that we can observe and replicate and calls that the basis for rationality. Some scientists are christians. Some scientists are muslim. Some scientists are atheists(not even most btw.) Their ontological belief has not much to do with their scientific findings and the stuff they are able to achieve in reality. If you don't believe that Elon says you're the one with faulty epistemology. This is ORBCOMM-2 on December 21, 2015, the first time in human history a orbital-class rocket booster was recovered intact which completely revolutionized the space industry. Now that you've awakened to your true nature as God almighty itself, can you also build and land an orbital-class rocket booster? Probably not bro. Me neither bro but we don't need to, we have Elon to figure it out for us. If you're gonna call him out on some of the shenanigans he does that's fair he deserves it, he also deserves the recognition for this otherwise you're pretty much 100% delusional there's no other way to spin it.

Wow. Just wow. Yeah, I guess it is unreasonable to ask from the most Awakened being on the planet to do some homework before talking out his ass on things that have nothing to do with Awakening. How many times over the last 2 years did I show you, with papers, articles and textbook references that you are portraying caricatures about Science and AI? How many times did I stress that I have experienced the Consciousness/Godhood Ontology and am literally harnessing intuition to do breakthroughs in math and AI, as have many others done before me? You are not the first nor last to tap into Infinite Intelligence. It's the hubris and the belittling, while simultaneously making ignorant statements that you could correct if you actually read some of what the "weasels, bigots" and "rats" wrote. I respect your work, I don't respect what you have become. Been here long enough to see the change in who sticks around. Maybe ask yourself why for once.

That’s so sweet, and I’m not suprised you say it because you’re in Sweden. Swedish people have always been benevolent to me, pretty much. I’ve begun to know a true spiritually awakened woman at university (yes she is that, but people can doubt how much they want) I’ve thought about introducing her to this place when I get to know her more in autumn, maybe it will become a “trio” if she wants to. She is into “New age”, which this place has huge bias against, and I was actually intimidated by her first when she would talk to me, because of her exceptional groundedness and strong presence. I would LOVE for her to help me Shatter the Paradigm, because I know she can do that. This place needs more of that, especially from women. They might have repelled @Flowerfaeiry for her change in direction from New age, but I want them to get a taste of their own medicine, and my mind is spinning with ideas. 😈😈😈 (might delete later because I feel weird writing about others, even if it’s not private info….)

Incentive systems and societal conditioning... through conformity, status, authority, and the desire to belong, are powerful forces that shape human behaviour, often overriding or redirecting our innate biological predispositions. Think of the guy who suppresses his sexual interest because acting on every attraction would damage his relationships, career, or reputation. The woman who works full-time because economic realities require two incomes, even if she would personally prefer to spend more time raising children. The man who avoids expressing vulnerability because workplace or cultural norms reward stoicism. Remaining single because modern dating markets, career priorities, or personal freedom outweigh the benefits of partnership. A woman who competes aggressively in a high-status career (promotions, income, and autonomy are valuable incentives) etc etc etc Biology provides us with predispositions that in turn give us motivations. Incentive structures are so powerful, their effect must also be accounted for - even enlightened or awakened masters are not immune (which is why we sometimes witness corruption from spiritual leaders). Red Pill definitely has some truth in it, but it is half the story, and neglects the critical thinking that would entice us to ask "What else could cause this effect?" I like to ask myself "what if...? when trying to understand information and systems - especially when it is a new idea I am presented with

Mostly out of my ass. However, less than 99% of mankind has Awakened, so it's safe to say they ain't got the talent for it. You need to somehow explain why Awakening is so rare and difficult for most people. The explanation cannot be: they just aren't trying hard enough -- because that begs the question. Why aren't they trying harder? Why aren't more people Awakening effortlessly? Why do most people fail to Awaken even after doing multiple hardcore meditation retreats? Why aren't most meditators God-Realized? Yeah, but human beings don't have an upgradable luck stat. If I could pay money to upgrade my luck stat in life, I definitely would.

8:15 Connor explains here, that he took 6 month ago ayahuasca and since then he is permanent tripping. What he meant by that is, that he sees reality in a different context, he the truth all the time, its all his mind like in a lucid dream. To proof that he is permanent tripping, he takes a huge amount of ayahuasca and it has zero effects on him. So it seems connor was permanently awakened.

I wouldn't take my late night "raps" and pleading for the lulz to make me stop too seriously, but kundalini has been active for quite some time (years, especially since I got awakenings when I was taking in Jan Esmann energy). Not sure I would say it's properly "awakened", but it gets aroused at times, I feel it in my spine and it directly corresponds to a shift/increase/non-dualification in consciousness. I not too long ago resonated with somebody saying that the kundalini process starts "from above" in that it's a shift in consciousness that then pulls the energy upward. Intellectual "masturbation" is how I expend a lot of that energy. I'm energetically and philosophically vegan. My "vegan activism" critiques are sort of intellectual masturbation. I wouldn't want to kill an animal in the wild.

I honestly don't think he's even so-called enlightened or awakened. Weird thing to say for most people, I know. If you ask me, I'll just answer with 'magic' or 'attention.' He's gone down a false pursuit, conflating experiences and subjective states (almost always externally and chemically produced) with 'consciousness.' I don't think people grasp the implications of his insistence on, and inability to produce, the promised video. That instance showcases a bit of the inherent assumptions behind such a path. Anyone can talk. Talking is cheap. God, Consciousness, Quantum Uncertainty, perception, skandhas, kundalini, chakras. Thread those into a convincing worldview that you and others like and feel validated by, and people won't know how to tell a 'faker' from a real source. (Now, imagine that you did this unconsciously.)

Like that but thats what you are. There is something experiencing the nothing. To even know what nothing is is proof thats what it is. Nothing dosent exist in physical reality. To understand what nothingness entails by your imagination is knowing God. Making these correlations in my logic awakened me. Nothing isnt real in physical reality you shouldnt even be able to imagine it. Thats because you are nothing you are using yourself to relate to the world. Tell your sister she is scared of herself.

Also, there is no awakened beings or non awaken beings, all is projection of your mind. Everything is Truth, itself.

@Leo GuraThen what is the purpose of life? I am not awakened yet, but I intuit or feel that there is no purpose to life except for God exploring His own creative imagination right now. So, somehow, the only purpose is achieved entirely by God in every moment.

The fact that you are asking this undermines all of his teachings. The highest truth is that he is imaginary. So how could he be more awakened than you if he is part of your own mind created by your mind as God? He would only be held as more awakened within your own mind. That is his highest teaching.

It's simple: you don't know if Leo is the most awakened being or not. It is an open question no matter what he says. Could you ever know? That's the question. I am inclined to say yes, I think being closed to that is foolish. Like I am talking about ACTUAL knowing.

No. In regards to what Leo has said, the narcissism is inherent to those beliefs because of the hierarchy it creates over other "non-awakened beings". This forces him to punish the people that challenge this hierarchy he has created. Which is the cult-like aspect. I'm saying that his view on spirituality is synonymous with the narcissism. Which also creates a domino-effect into the cult-like qualities of the forum.

Another awakened person can usually intuit it. Leo is a fascinating example though because there is no way he could have known to teach some of the stuff without being awake..it would seem impossible to me. But this whole more awake stuff is silly. When you and your buddy wake up from your respective dreams in the morning do you say to each other..i am more awake than you!! No.you both have awoken from your dreams.

I don't think people really know how to tell a pretender from someone who isn't one - in "spiritual" matters, at least. And 'state' isn't the anchor people take it to be: direct consciousness might not be a function of state at all; state may be secondary to it. Here's an exercise: imagine that you yourself - knowing you're ignorant (your secret's safe with me) - set out to project a certain impression, one convincing enough that people would read you as 'awakened.' You could pull that off. And here's the sharper point: you could end up believing it yourself, without ever noticing you'd faked it.

@Razard86 You can access consciousness of every being or just awakened ones? How does that feel like? Like telepathy?

So I made a post a while back and just wanted to share some more and expand a bit on that. So, it all started back in September 25. Since then I've literally had an ongoing connection pretty much every single night (assuming it's clear out but even with heavy clouds many times), where I go outside in my backyard and orbs and beams of light come by and interact with me. I'll go outside and stare up at the sky and within minutes (sometimes they've been there waiting for me) orbs will come along and glide past me in the sky. I wave at all them, they flash their light at me (brighten/dim). It's blatant personal interaction at this point. I've seen golden beams of light come out of nowhere near me , silvery beams, flying directly parallel with my head while staring right up, right above me (like not that high up). I've seen some of the orbs turn into fast beams of light. Even on some nights where there are no orbs i will see sparks and flashes of light in the sky right where I'm looking. I'll wave and then another spark flash. It's still them. There could be somewhere between 5-20 of them each night. some nights the interaction gets wild with orb after orb "coming out of the woodwork" everywhere i turn my head. Sometimes when i'm in the car i'll see a beam of light flying by overhead right in front of where i'm looking. I think it is literally the coolest thing ever and I'm honestly very thankful I get to have experiences like this. They are essentially my friends at this point. They have also followed me to a different state in a remote location, and back home of course. What are they exactly? well I don't know. I can't use my human language programming to try and define something I most likely will not fully understand with a human mind, but if i had to guess I think they are intelligent beings with thought forms/mind types that are probably very advanced that are most likely interdimensional and can come in and out of 3d vibration and higher vibrational states of consciousness. (well humans do that too! haha. all things do that) They are very playful with me and sometimes when i cast out a mental intention like for them to go really fast, I'll see some beams of light flying fast lol. The fact I am experiencing this is my personal form of consciousness mind creating that experience within my hallucination of reality. I honestly don't really even find it out of the ordinary because the fact we are even here, experiencing this dream here is mind blowing in and of itself. Once you've awakened and see god you know its all you anyways. But just wanted to share. So yeah essentially I literally have non human intelligent friends in the form of light balls and beams/streaks of light that come by and interact with me, I feel that they are my friends. Because once you've had experiences like this 100s of times and nearly every day, you can't deny that they are communicating with you personally. I always look forward to my nightly ritual contact with them and I love them. Sometimes I think about humans in the past like 100s or 1000s of years ago having experiences like this, because I'm sure they've been around for quite some time haha. There are probably millions/billions etc of them. (i dont actually know that i'm just making assumptions) But i try to imagine what a human being in an older past would've thought, how their minds would interpret them using their programming in those times. Are they connected to "physical" humanoid alien beings? well I dont know about that, there's always a potentiality for that i guess. But the spectrum of what 99% of humans are aware of and experiences is very narrow compared to the full spectrum of infinity. Like I said, I personally don't really even find it out of the ordinary, at least not anymore with a daily schedule of this. When this first started, this entire ongoing contact, I had taken a psychedelic called 4-ho-met (metocin). In that month of september i took it once a week for 4 weeks over the month and each time i was mostly outside at night alone. I've seen some other interesting things around that time like translucent black crafts and other styles of beams etc. But thats just when all this started. I have not taken any psychedelic since then and I've had most of my contact experiences after. The way I felt at the start was shocked and in awe but now its completely normal to me. I have some theories revolving around the possibility that when in those states of consciousness on the drug, I could've casted out a different type of mental energy that they picked up on and came to observe and interact. I dont know if thats legit or not because i'll never actually know, but it only started then, not on any past psychedelic use before that. It's just mind boggling to hallucinate being a human here and having friends that are not human and highly intelligent that come by and say whatsup to me on a daily basis. Pretty out of the ordinary to most humans. But when you think about how reality itself is an infinite hallucination and how your mind is creating all of it for "you" to experience, it really doesn't seem that crazy. But because 99% of humans are not awakened and don't see reality and god in themselves, the development of their human creation/understanding is not on the same playing field so to speak. I know i'm not the only one with these experiences though. It may be rare but there are many others who also have the same or similar experiences. The type of mind I have is extremely creative, imaginative and highly analytical, not sure if that plays a role in any of this but it could. Sometimes i picture looking at myself from outside of myself standing on the ground interacting with these beings at night as if i was watching it from another point of view. When you see it from that pov it seems magical. another thread in the tapestry of infinity. If anyone reading this has some experiences they'd like to share or have any questions feel free.

@Breakingthewall Exactly. Regardless of how awake someone is, its no excuse to throw away life because its just a temporary experience. In fact I'd argue the more things you do, the more things you accomplish /create/ build/ experience, while simultaneously being awakened to the god in you, the better. A big trap would be to do all these things and not be awakened, confusing material success for true achievement. So in a way, its actually both thats needed , the material side , and the awakened side, and using them in conjunction. It's basically like, have/do/be all the things you want as a human but realize you are also god for eternity at the same time. That way you can enjoy the the dream to its fullest, not necessarily "attaching" to all the things but having/doing them for the sake of the experience itself and enjoying them

I wasn't disputing this. This is just immaturity. There is no "most" awakened being there is just the awakened and the asleep. If you think this then you aren't awake. You're just being foolish. That isn't an insult it's just what it is. So I'm just saying that after you awaken you wouldn't say "this is the most accurate picture of reality I've found" So you shouldn't expect him to make statements like this. You should expect better of him than to proclaim "I am the best! I am more conscious than you". But nothing surprises me anymore. And, enlightened individuals shouldn't he held in a box as to their level of maturity. They can still act like egotistical children. Though I would expect more from them.

From that perspective, what is the purpose of the human experience? Is it primarily a challenge or series of lessons for gathering wisdom to benefit our spirit or higher self? Or is it simply God experiencing itself, and that’s all? I’ve heard from many sources that our soul chooses a particular life to learn specific lessons, is this accurate, or more like wishful thinking? Is there some mechanism where God, the universe, or our spirit guides observe our experiences and eventually decide, “Okay, enough of this challenge, the lesson is learned; let’s move on to the next episode”? Or are concepts like spirit guides and karmic pathways just blind faith, appealing because they sound convincing? This question stems from my own reflections: When I find myself stuck in life situations that I wish to escape, yet keep facing the same challenges, could the reason be that my soul or spirit believes the lesson hasn’t been learned? Perhaps because I tend to run from these situations instead of realizing and appreciating the full scene, the full perspective, and the beauty of it, and truly going through it to emerge into something new, rather than just trying to finish and flee from it?

If someone did awaken to realize they were God, in a complete state of omnipresent consciousness… they would be the most conscious thing in the universe. If anyone did this, that would be true. This is only true if it’s possible, if that’s the true nature of reality, consciousness and if you are truly God. Only by actually becoming God, can someone truly know God due to its ontological nature. This does not negate non-duality. For those who have studied non-dual shiva tantra or even Taoism they would know from the Tao, or from Shiva… God, which is perfect union with itself totally awake and eternal… comes all our finite reality. If God is true, and the big bang is not then the true science would have to include God, Awakening and Infinity. I have not seen a single person completely strongman the big bang. They always say “nothing existed, but if we bring in X…. Then they changes everything”….. True understanding would have to close the gap between consciousness and the origin of consciousness. Reality that created itself would have to remerge into to completely understand and awaken to itself that its what it is and always has been. Then, if someone had done more philosophical work at a deeper, more broad level awakened and then returned to human consciousness they would be able to articulate this Oneness, this omnipresent truth of the fundamental nature of reality to others who are still in the dream. But, they could only communicate with with their finite psychology, limited human understanding, biases, imperfections, survival considerations, social contexts, etc. Other humans with no deep philosophical, meditative, and awakening experience would find that individual extremely threatening. They would accuse him of all sorts of things. If this is possible. But belief or disbelief isn’t good enough. If this is true, that it’s possible and can be done by most humans… but, we have never considered this widely as a species it’s surely going to be controversial because it threatens everything we know to be true. Humans literally kill and bomb over this. Humans kill for survival and to defend their relative walled garden of partial truths or even falsehoods. To me this would suggest that reality is by design not to expose us to our true nature as God. Though, over time it was built in to awaken of those who chose to do this. If it’s true. I can see that being the case. There is clearly an intelligent design to human life with lots of relative spiritual teachings, beliefs, states, religions, etc. All this is good. Finite relative reality is good. Being God all the time, being totally aware of this isn’t all it’s cut out to be forever. It’s good to sleep because I, we, have forever…. Forever. So, enjoy the dream of being human, of debating, of trying to make sense of everything and the drama. It’s all here for us to experience. But, if it’s not possible then it’s false. And, someone could think they experienced this but didn’t and it could still ultimately be true or it could be false. This is very confusing. But, how do we know what is true about the fundamental nature of reality, mind, consciousness, the origin of existence, the meaning of life, etc? Can we take any other humans word for this? Even Leo’s? No. No symbolic system is good enough. No authority in another human. If only we could directly experience what is true…. If we don’t want to pick up beliefs than we simply can’t know. So what is true that requires not believing? How does state of consciousness, which is prior to belief play into that? With regards to Leo… Expecting a guy on YouTube to be a saint, to never make a mistake, to make you feel good, when he admits to being an asshole makes no sense. He has never hidden that he is a jerk and even has a video on it. Plus, you guys are often jerks to him. So, watch for hypocrisy. I am a fan of the videos. I’m not convinced of it all being accurate. But, it’s pretty good. It helps me avoid a lot of illusion, make sense of how to approach the big picture. But, it’s a human doing it. Sooo…. I don’t expect perfection. These videos and these interactions with one man, can’t be how you go about spirituality in its entirety. Reality is brutish, it’s twisted its kind and loving but also war and bombs and sickness. You have to contend with this brutal, twisted reality we all share. All humans are in this game of survival and all by definition of being finite will have limitations, corruptions, ego, times when they aren’t kind to you, times when they don’t tickle you. Yes, many spiritual teachers are more sweet, kind, and considerate in how they speak. Leo is not like that. He has never been like that. Yet, you choose on your own free will to interact with him. Why? There is a whole mountain range of spiritual teachings out there. Explore them. Explore science explore meditation, yoga, Qigong, various mystical texts. Explore this wondering world of human knowledge and potential. I am okay with people being offended by Leo. I don’t really care about that. His actions aren’t malicious in my view. People may never agree with me, and I’m fine with that. But, if you think I’m not a warrior you are wrong. I’m kind, I’m considerate. But, I am not nice. This is a moment in time. Humans are not fully evolved. We still have religions and belief systems held together by survival, symbolic understanding and feelings emotions and comfort. None of that is true. We have a science full of corruption, religions developed by ancient tribes who still hold human kind. Is human evolution some sweet and pretty little thing? Is that how you expect it to go? No. It’s going to be ugly and confusing and challenging. Painful. Scary. Brutish often. Even in this work, people have to have backbones against those with gross double standards.

It's absolutely meaningless and unconditional. There isn't a goal or purpose needing to be met. Nothing required and everything welcomed. Nothing needs to happen or not happen. And so in that sense, the so-called non-delusional life doesn't need to be recognized/lived. The awakened reality and the matrix are identical for 2 reasons. 1) The matrix is an internal illusory experience, leaving only awakened reality as real. 2) They are equally meaningless because when the body/mind organism dies, the memory of ever existing dissolves with it regardless of its prior way of life.
