What Is Lacking In Spiritual Books

They all seem to point to the Oneness/Awareness/Enlightenment part of reality but none of them, at least that I’ve read, really go into the “illusion” how it works, why it’s this way, how it comes to be, how it’s formed, the reason for it, the depths of it, understanding it. They all seem to just obsess over awakening. Which is great, but I don’t think Being is stupid, why don’t we also address the Illusion and the human and the ego? There must be a reason for all this even if it is ultimately Nothing 

pondering the illusion is called making the unreal real and that is what science is doing

and most religions too namely bringing a god into the dream via books like the bible - god knows no dreams and couldn't if it tried

fact is you have two tasks

see the unreal as real like every person always does and then correct yourself by saying whoops and slowly make this automatic

see the real in the unreal, there are no human bodies there are only holy spirits ... namely go from sight to vision

then you are good

When you focus on "why doesn't this book include_____________________" or "why doesn't this teacher teach _______________". it can consume a lot of your time.

You won't find all the answers in one place.

Sometimes the answers I was looking for were found in books on Philosophy and Psychology, not in the Spiritual community.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your input.

You gotta find the diamonds in the rough 

Nisargadatta, Ralston, Jung are good (as long as you realize you probably won't attain their level of consciousness unless you're as genetically gifted as they are)

It’s funny how people just ride the wave of whatever Leo is saying haha. The best example of this is the whole Solopsism fiasco. Leo claimed that no one else had a conscious expereince and everyone flipped out and got depressed because they believed him. They even started a thread for dealing with the depression of being the only real person in expereince! 😂 How ironic! You need fake versions of yourself to make you feel better about being the only real person hahaha The stupidity! It’s mind blowing 😂

 

Consciousness can be developed and grown. The problem is people are just too lazy to do what it takes.

I realized this (clarifying, generic stuff) independently of Leo 

if you ever get a reading from a really good psychic , you'll know it's true 

it's only a limit if you're unwilling to level the playing field with psychedelics
