Hello all,  This book is on Leo's book list and is one of my favorites and I work with Ramaji and Ananda so I'm quite biased due to how much they have helped me with the 1-1 sessions and RASA since February, genuinely feel like a different person now than I did then. I know a lot of you are skeptical about paying to work with a teacher, and spiritual transmissions in general, but all I'd say is if you have the money for it, do it. It'll do a lot more for you then just constantly spinning your wheels watching videos and reading books imo (They of course have their value!)   Then I was a hardcore seeker, reading book after book and watching non-duality video after non-duality video (Mainly Rupert and Francis lucille lool)   I imagine a lot of people here are in the late 500's, and aren't quite yet living in non-duality's early stages.  The books is called '1000' and uses a 'Level of Consciousness' LOC map for 'enlightenment' and shows the different stages of awakening, and different stages of teachers. I read it about a year ago, and it opened up my eyes the difference between Sadhguru and Eckhart Tolle to give an example of 2 mainstream teachers.   It will also help you realize where you're at and potentially find a teacher you resonate with, you DON'T have to listen to a teacher at 1000, not at all. I've attached phots that give a VERY brief  explanation of the stages in the map, but like any model it is just that a model and of course has it's limitations.   My next question I've been wondering about is @Leo Gura's LOC, and Leo I know you've read the book, and if you have a rough idea where you at I'd love to know mate.   Then in general I'd love for you guys to comment what you think your LOC is and why, anything over 640 means stabilised in Non-Duality, 590-640 is more like oscillating between non-duality and out of it, the biggest key is asking yourself 'Do I feel like the Doer.' It's also easy to overestimate yourself so be careful, however it's all guesswork unless you can properly do LOC's, but it could be a helpful tool to see the path, and where you are, as well as why you might be getting stuck.  Examples of teachers and their LOC (from the updated 1000 book) Eckhart Tolle 674  Adyashanti 1000 Rupert Spira 1000 Sadhguru 1000 David Deida 683  Mooji 763 (Reading the book explains a lot about his controversies...) Osho 754    In terms of my own journey, I don't want to say a number or anything as people might perceive that as 'you think you're more enlightened than Eckhart, lol you're so deluded!!!' All I will say is I started in the late 500's, I am not 'finished' at 1000 yet, but I definitely am living in non-duality, and it's amazing, but I stilll have a lot pf work to do, even when you 'reach' 1000 there is still work to do, this is not some quick fix solution, embodiment of reaching 1000 can take years depending on the person and how much 'shit' there is to deal with!  ANother reason I like Ramaji and Ananda is they are actually NORMAL people, they live a normal life, Ananda is a mother for example, they aren't meditating on the mountain tops or in caves. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you want to do, but I personally want to go out there and live life to the fullest and completely be myself, all which they embrace, unlike many teachers!   They also talk about topics like Sex, Relationships, Manifestation etc which are hardly spoken about in the community.   If you have any questions for me or about RASA ask away, but I highly recommend the book and doing more than just reading books and meditating as your work, also I'd look into the Enneagram to understand yourself (it explains a LOT!)
