Leo's Greatest Insight - Authenticity

[Inliytened1]

Honesty.

Wow.  It penetrates deep guys.  

Not just the big lies but the subtle lies we all tell.

Leo once told me that my awakening was a lifetime in the making...

Guess what - it was.

I spent a lifetime lying.  Lying about everything.  

It was pure ego..pure selfishness... that could be the fundamental fear of death...and i think that's the source of all anxiety and boredom as well...but that's another topic.

My point in this post is that when i became truly authentic..to myself..to my fiancee...to my very being...that's when enlightenment found me.

I was growing more conscious naturally without finding spirituality ever slowly before i found Leo...but he helped me put the final pieces in place...i meditated for 2 weeks completely sober and had a massive awakening..

One particular experience i was in my basement using the do nothing method and infinity just moved through me to the point where i screamed.

I had several more where i became conscious that reality was a giant mind and others.  But i wasn't able to go as deep as Leo because my ego stopped it cold.  I still had massive mystical experiences where an energy force just completely gripped me showed me complete Truth.  I can't even put into words but it's like everything aligned..BAM... and i was God.

My point is if you want to awaken you need to start losing the selfishness.  Start thinking about others not yourself and stop Lying.

You will find that honesty will be the true key to unlocking enlightenment.

It's way more nuanced than that but that is a huge start.

Some of the other keys are finding your feminine side and sensitivity.  I never cried.  For decades i held everything inside.

But just prior to awakening i started crying over things that i cared about.

So there is a lot that goes into this but if you guys are running around doing selfish things and lying you can meditate all you want and it won't happen.  I can just intuit that from my own experience.

I think that's why it takes decades for us..

Not because we aren't doing the work but because we aren't ready.

When you are ready AND you are doing the work it will find you.

And when it does it will just absolutely floor you..forever.  You will never be the same.

So guys do not give up hope but you may need to give up your old selfish ego.

Not in righteous anger or in judgement, but, in love . Without love, we are nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous, it does not boast, it is not proud. It keeps no record of wrongs. It rejoices with the truth. It bares all things, it believes all things, it hopes all things, it endures all things. When everything else disappears - faith, hope & love remain. But the greatest of these, is love.

@Inliytened1 Enough said right there.

The paradox is that caring about other people can also become an obstacle. Women especially can develop an ego out of playing a "selfless" helper role.

So you gotta strike a delicate balance.

This whole process is a delicate balancing act. Too much to any one side results in pathology and getting stuck.

Leo's new video on dualities is amazing.  I watched it three times.  Good stuff.  Authenticity goes like ham and eggs with transcending Mental dualities and integrating the Shadow.

100% agree. The way you know you’re integrating and owning your shadow material, conquerring uour own neuroses, purifying yourself emotionally is the degree to which you live authentically.

Leo, are you psychic?...

 

 

 

 

 

^Whatever that comes to mind upon seeing these four words,

  is a clear reflection of your inner self,

  and have nothing to do with my reality, except,

  for those who are fully enlightened.

  Hence wash yourself of yourself.

 

 

^These too, will have infinite interpretations.

^This too.

Word, I really started recognizing this after Leo's retreat last year. The beard, the black dress shirt, the smile change, and especially the "Understanding Ego Backlash" video.

I still lie. I still play a role IRL. I am "thesmileyone" "mgtow" and "repilled" even though I know it's all BS and I am the big alpha male who can fight... There's few in my life I have to roleplay to stay conscious with. If it were my choice I wouldn't lie at all but people won't accept this.

Maybe when my parents (the last of my family) are gone along with their expectations I can finally be completely genuine but until then?

I look at these people "prepping" for the apocalypse, buying guns and ammo and stuff and I don't do either because deep down I know I will embrace such an event, it will even be the "easy way out" for me.
