I think there was some misunderstanding. I was actually trying to express the opposite of your post. I deeply desire to learn everything Leo has to share about those extremely deep topics, which contain life-changing understandings. What hurt me is that he said he wouldn’t record those videos. I was just very disappointed.

 ok

It is but that is not a serious understanding of Consciousness. It's a silly human reduction by people who have no real comprehension of Consciousness.

Ok but I was recently reading the book -What the Buddha taught by Walpola Sri Rahula and it taught me important concepts even though it doesn't have serious understanding of consciousness. And I was talking about that fact that if we are not being present then are we avoiding truth lost in the labyrinth of our minds ?

Not necessarily. You could be thinking through some important issue.

Thinking deeply is important.

There are times to think and times to not think.

This is so vague and simple that I don't have a response.

@Leo Gura Ok then sorry. Let me reframe the question - How to act to succeed in most situations? Let's say 8 out of 10.

There is no meaningful answer to such questions.

Yeah - I sense what you're saying, if the eternal now is more important of a practise than say thinking about the past, or future or thinking about things that aren't actually rooted in this moment fully which would be maybe a detour from truth and then less of an authentic life lived, is it better to be in the moment always 100 percent. 

If I worded this well enough - I don't really think you can be fully present in the moment 100 percent of the time always even if it was ultimate truth beyond the labrynth of thoughts clouding it ... but maybe also here I think that there is a husstler culture mindset dominant in the west to be fully on top of the game like being present fully alway

Although in a sense thinking interesting questions can be fun, which isn't seriously in the present moment completely, ... idk see if this sparks anything lol

I sense a husstler western mindset played into the spiritual practise to be fully present in the moment aligned to truth but I think there is fun to be daydreaming, and thinking interesting questions which is also probably a part of the present moment, and even thinking of the past is still in the moment, all thinking is in the moment, and it explores truth too

Those are very special situations. Tolle only got there by luck, because Oprah give him millions in free marketing.

Of course you can run a business on the side and make millions. You could operate a chain of dildo stores.
