Decide to become a leader and become original.  God is your guru.

“Our most valuable resource is not time, but rather it is consciousness itself. Consciousness is the basis for everything, and without it, there could be no time and no resource possible. It is only through consciousness and its cultivation that one’s passions, one’s focus, one’s curiosity, one’s time, and one’s capacity to love can be actualized and lived to the fullest.” - r0ckyreed

Each teacher offers different style, information, aesthetic, insights and tends to be stronger in certain areas than others. You can only know by spending time listening/ reading from them. It may be worth while to explore with an open mind. 
 

I found the more I listened around the more synergistic each teacher became as I grew to understand a bigger picture of the spirituality/ self help territory. I personally found Leo’s teachings to be my favourite overall, but that doesn’t mean there’s not loads of value in other perspectives. I even hesitate to pick a favourite. Also, you go through a process of seeing things in new light as you listen and grow as a person. One teacher or topic may not make sense or be of value today but may be tomorrow. 
 

Leo offers a very strong teaching. Which should be supplemented with reading diverse perspectives, listening to other gurus and met with practice and direct experience. In my opinion it’s worth being objective, curious and looking for the big picture.

 

It’s a long term process.

I follow everyone who makes logical sense. But trust my own logic above every teacher. The things Leo says often don't make logical sense to me. For example things going full circle doesn't make any sense. But reality being infinite and groundless does make sense.


I left this forum because a moderator has a problem with me talking positively about myself and giving advice. This reflects the forum as a whole. This place is negative, bitter, hateful and anti success. If you don't notice this that's because you're one of them. I hope some of you benefited from my posts. Take care.

Do like me, watch all. The ones you feel you could not listen properly with open mind and no getting triggered watch twice after contemplation about the content.

No one.

there isn't something called growth.

In order to follow myself, should I take YOUR advice and follow only myself or should I come to this conclusion on my own?

If I want to follow others and that's my opinion am I following myself or am I following others?

@EmJay 

Use your brain.

Prioritize truth even over feeling good/being happy. This should protect you from wishful thinking, which most people here suffer from.

You can listen to "gurus", but don't get brainwashed by them. They could be right, or they could be wrong, you don't know.

@2ndComing

You can't completely follow others you can get a lot of help from people that doesn't mean you're following.

Read about the idea of Pendulums from the book reality transerfing.

Guru is a much misused word these days.

Strictly speaking a guru is one who guides you to Awakening.

In this respect, hands down the best guru is psychedelics.

Tony Robbins and his team will be live on Youtube in the next few days so maybe you can listen.

But then again, Threadstarter is a self-proclaimed Stage yellow and Tony Robbins is stage orange so there's little you can learn from him, if any.

Back to Leo Gura or Sadhguru perhaps.

Look into what I bolded more. Then it will make sense. A cycle that never ends....is infinite and groundless, but that cycle is one half of infinity. It would need pain to start a new type of cycle. This would need to continue forever for all infinity. 

Notice everything resolves around cycle, but each cycle also is changing in infinite ways forever and ever. An infinite number of cycles within cycles which are also itself changing and those changes are changing. 

Really think about it.


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

You really have no choice but to follow to teachers who's teaching / style / energy etc. you resonate with.

But don't forget to use your discernment.
