Have We Misinterpreted Leo?

[OWL]

"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

-Bertrand Russel.

Leo Gura has proof his wisdom to all of us many times in his videos, he has given to us many great concepts, exercises and advices.

Also he has warn us of many traps where we can fall by his advice, specially in his enlightenment videos. If you see the comment section there are many different points of view of the same theme, some differ completely for what I understand. This makes me think if I'm the stupid, the clever, or I have just another perspective. 

This resembles pretty much to when a wise man points his finger  to the moon and the ignorant man stares at the finger, and its funny because one of the top comments in Leo's last video "morality rant" was about Leo's thumb nails.

The problem with true wisdom is that it's very difficult to communicate accurately. Most people can't help but get stuck in the words being used and create their own projection of the message. I find this especially true with "rationally-minded" people.

Our minds will come up with different perspectives but ultimately, I believe the results that Leo and other people like him want to get to are ultimately going to be the same. There are many different ways you can do personal development but there is still just going to be one "moon".

We are programmed to think in certain ways, there is no way out of them. It is in our very genetic code of life, it's our algorithm that thrives us to move into wrong directions while placebo'd as real. Our distraction will stay as is, there isn't much of any meaning but that which we assign.

Our brain is wired to think inside a box. We will never be able to think outside the box simply because we are not capable of doing so.

 

Edit : Extra

Think of a computer that is equipped with certain hardware. To see certain objects and has certain aspects equipped such as processing capabilities / RAM etc. Compare that to an animal.

Let's say a dog has around 700mhz @ 4MB ram while a human is at 2ghz @ 32mb ram.

Let's say we have a program that can run emotional response 2.0. The dog may be able to run it since it meet's it's requirements.

While the human runs on v3.7. Etc etc you can speculate various forms of consciousness from here. Ones where are beyond your imagination. (v3.7 requires 900mhz / 7mb for example)

It's similar to trying to run windows 7 on a 256ram pc with a pentium 1. It simply won't run or a program like gta v on that. It just can't handle it or process it. That is why we can't really see our flaws or go even deeper than our current limits.

Let's say there are more than the current colors we see and name. We simply can't see them or they may be not part of our current physical world since we are in a box again.

You can apply it on various aspects of how any living life code/conscious/unconscious thinking works.

 

You can now go on and hit logic and even perspective in the same way, we definitely  are missing a lot more than just sight/hear/taste for all we know there could be millions or billions of rules that we could life with but we aren't aware because we think and assign that this is the normal way as it should be. Hell maybe the current life algorithm isn't all that there must be more to it than just humanoid thinking.

The problem is how we label things and how we interpret them.

If I say God for example, people tend to think in the moralistic God that punishes, etc and maybe I can be speaking about reality.

The same words have different meaning and deep depending on the reality that the person has created by experiences, etc.

And I don't think that there is a possibility that we have misinterpreted Leo, I think that FOR SURE WE MISINTERPRETED HIM. That's our work, try to clean our "filters" to see reality the way it is and don't have those misinterpretation problems. We can not know the meaning of the words of others until we reach enlightenment or self-actualization because each of us interpret reality differently.
