Posted March 28, 2021 @AtheisticNonduality After years of watching his contents, He gradually became a delusional man. It's better to stay away this man because his contents will make you confuse about reality and waste your time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2021 Everyone is delusional to some extent, but Leo Gura is not building a cult, you can stop watching his videos and using this forum any time you want, he will not try to manipulate you into watching his content, although people can get addicted to it.

Posted March 28, 2021 Can you be a bit more specific? As far as I understand his teachings one shouldn't believe him but see if you can get on your own to the same conclusions. Up to now there are some things I disagree with him about his views on career but the map about reality and healing he gave us is astonishing good, even though I walk on my on pace.

Posted March 28, 2021 @Uchral I don't blame you for thinking that initially. My advice is to keep open the possibility of this not being a cult. Do lots of research. Scour his website. Check out his cult psychology videos. Try to figure out the main messages behind his content. Is there anything shady here? Does it seem like Leo is trying to hide anything? Try to do this is a non-judgmental and non-biased way. Watch out for confirmation bias. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2021 Leo says things you disagree with and no one in this forum (Leo included) feels accountable to you, personally, in explaining the reasonableness of his ideas. And so you conclude that he is a cult leader and everyone here is a part of his cult. Is that about right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 28, 2021 I also think he's delusional sometimes, specifically when he talks about absolute love and that nonsense. But cult leader is clearly way off. Although I cannot know his intention. “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life.

Posted March 28, 2021 You guys are pretty defensive about him, I understand. Because you guys probably watched a ton of his contents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you actually explained what you mean with some evidence so we could understand it better, you would get better responses. Instead, what we find here is one-liners with generic criticism.

What do you suggest that people reply to your single sentence "I think he is a cult leader"? You think so? You may. Is that it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I'm granting the legitimacy of what you're saying, but even if what you're saying were true, why would you care? What is it to you? You said before " his contents will make you confuse about reality and waste your time". Well, OK. I'm sorry you feel you have wasted your time following his material. Truly. Now why don't you go somewhere where you find more knowledge, wisdom, insight, compassion, etc? A lot of us find wisdom on this forum, which is why we are here, but of course to each his own...

Posted March 28, 2021 @Uchral Okay so you don't want an authentic answer to your question; your mind is already made up. You are seeing the appearance that forum users are defending Leo because you are only here to look for people who agree with you without a discussion. To have a discussion of substance is to genuinely care about the truth. The opposite of a discussion is to isolate your beliefs and try to tug people over to your viewpoint. Anything that people say on this forum that doesn't fit your belief system is more evidence that this is a cult. I told you to watch out for confirmation bias...

Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) I think his new content is too focused on society stuff. Hence the cultish vibe. Edited March 28, 2021 by Megan Alecia "We are like the spider.
