Is Enlightement a paradigm ? There is no reason for this amazing view of the world to not being a paradigm because After all there is different perspective than enlightement, the ego perspective.

So is Enlightement a paradigm that's a question that i'm asking you to answer and if not why ?

There are billions of definitions for enlightenment. Billions of paradigms. Be sure to consider the motives of others.

Don't turn "paradigm" into some buzz work that refers to everything.

Leo don’t you see what I am referring to when I mention group-think?

You make a video about paradigms and then many topics revolve around paradigms.

You talk about psychedelics and then people who never wanted to try these drugs want to try psychedelics.

You have an opinion about ego and enlightenment and then others adopt this perspective.

You hold a position of authority. You are the thought-leader of this forum.

Do you feel a sense of responsibility?

@Bodhi123 Of course, that's the nature of teaching & leadership.

I keep trying to cation you guys to use great nuance and ground everything in your own direct experience.

How many people get it? Only a handful.

Such is the nature of ignorance. Like water, it always finds a way to sneak its way into every crack and corrode the truth.

It could not be otherwise. It's the ego's job to corrupt truth.

@Leo Gura I respect you for building a platform and having the balls to speak your mind.

It is easy being a critic

It is our responsibility to exercise judgment.

@Bodhi123 Love this response !

@Leo Gura i think that teaching is hard not only because of the ego's corruptions of truths but because experience is beyond perspective and it is hard to describe a experience with pure explanations/perspective, which you do really well ! 

My fault is to have misinterpreted your video and created this topic.

To be fair, he makes a pretty convincing case for the psychedelics, and it's not like most people aren't willing to do their own research before hopping on the band-wagon.
