Posted June 20, 2021 For someone with such an open mind, how does he really believe there's a god if there's no actual god? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2021 God is such a loaded word. Nevertheless, Leo repeatedly says that it's possible to realise that you're God. I would say that that bald statement alone requires a very open mind. It's very easy to dismiss a thing if you've never encountered it yourself: that's closed mindedness. 57% paranoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) There IS a God. God is an EXPERIENCE. To have it is to BE the actual God. Leo does not BELIEVE in Him, but rather experiences Her.

Posted June 20, 2021 @habed345 The answer is simple really - when you contemplate the concept of 'god', you have a certain thing in mind, and that thing seems unbelievable to you. When another person contemplates the concept of 'god', they have a different thing in mind, and that thing seems believable to them. If the other person were to see the concept the same way you do, likely they wouldn't believe it either. If you were to see the concept the way they do, you'd believe it. If you took 1000 people and asked them what 'god' is and were able to peer inside their minds and see what they were actually thinking, you'd see 1000 different ways of understanding god. In my experience a lot of atheists fall victim to their own misconceptions, like for example myself back a long time ago when I was an atheist, I was under the impression that when people spoke of 'god' they were referring to essentially a giant man who lives in another dimension and watches everything, nudging events here and there. This sounded utterly fanciful to me, so I dismissed anyone who believed in 'god' as being a fool who believes in something silly. Somehow it never occurred to me that what I thought they believed, wasn't what they actually believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2021 God is just another term for absolute reality. God is the point where all relativity comes to an end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you encounter the divine, God is an intuitive term. Like saying love when you feel love for a person. It might not be a literal sky daddy God or any of this, but the term is what springs to mind when confronted with something of such intense power. I considered my own experiences of heavy DMT breakthroughs to have been religious experiences. Nonduality when realized is something very much divine.
