Ahahah, I couldn’t help but laugh imagining Leo turning into a master marketer after all his serious integrity & truth work

I was a master marketer. I just choose not to use it.

@Leo Gura what's your go-to hot liquid to consume in these mugs?

[Davino]

I've come to appreciate Pure Dance more and more. Particularly after training, arriving home, put some good ass music and letting myself go is such a nice experience, almost liberating. I've come to realize this is going to stick with me for the rest of my life.

If one day we meet all together I hope we put some music and show our secret pure dance flow.

@Kokorec I’m also interested in this. Following. 

[RickyFitts]

Just had a look at quote #101 myself, it's got me curious too - Leo says that I only exist because I imagined myself into existence, but don't I have to exist in the first place in order to be able to imagine? Doesn't existence precede imagination?

Thank you 

I would say that god became ego and then alas ego became god.

I will rule planet earth with an iron grip or if not that then just eat drink and fornicate myself into blissfulness.

Ego contrives to be god but does so in the material world instead of dropping into its true nature in the spiritual world.

I just want the best life ever and when I'm dead I'm dead, right?

We got god very wrong.

But god is fine with that since it gets to live the dream over and over as the pun goes.

The kingdom of god is within.

Yet hardly anyone explains the meaning of this.

One day awakening will occur since everything here is finite.

I exist as I exist now as an ego because I as god imagined myself into a finite existence.

I like when Leo posts a blog on a new topic, because then I can finally have an opinion on that topic 

[Kairos]

@Leo Gura In one video you said your mbti personality type is INTP (Ti - Deep thinking ,Ne- Collective unconscious/Extraverted Intuition,Si-Past memories and comfort ,Fe -Harmony/Ethics)

How much accuracy do you find in these sort of tests ? Or do you think they're too vague 

[koops]

So @Leo Gura, you say Plotinus, Hegel, maybe Spinoza know what they were talking about when they talk about God.

But wasn't theirs just a theoretical perspective?

I mean, were they awake? Were they talking via direct experience or just theorizing/speculating?

Because thats what it seems to me (maye with the exception of Plotinus)

Of course Plotinus spoke from direct experience. He even says how many direct experiences he had.

Hegel clearly must have had direct experience given things he's written. Not sure about Spinoza. I guess he had some mild amount.

Did you exist in any sense before you imagined yourself into a finite existence?

I guess really my question is, what even is existence? What about awareness, can awareness be said to exist?

@Leo Gura Have you contemplated marketing as a subtle form of theft? You were in the industry so you should know better than me.

Marketing steals your time, attention and decision-freedom. It is a crime to the sovereignity of every self, as they try to manipulate you, take away your money and indoctrinate you with subconscious values for their best interests.

Generally I would say it is not theft. It is manipulation or even perhaps lying in the worst cases.

Yes maybe you're right.

By that manipulation they may leach money from the pocket's costumer, which otherwise wouldn't happen. It's a subtle connection towards stealing material goods. Advertising corrupts more the mind than takes away things from it, which can be framed as stealing freedom but yeah I prefer the corruption framing.
