Again, it wasn’t directed at OP. Grow some skin. If you can’t handle a rant about what isn’t Awakening… then that’s fine. That’s not the teacher for you.

Sure, so it's adressed, and that people see the heights of the toxicity, I believe he is toxic, and I want other people to see it, and decide for themsevles, at the very least, I know very many people here would agree that this outburst was toxic. @Thought Art nah im good, how about you grow a conscience yes it was directed to the op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry. so i guess it was just thin air he was directing it to, no proof of directing it to the poster of the topic lol sure ok cheers buddy Edited February 23, 2023 by StormLight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 23, 2023 Leo, beat us to enlightenment with a crowbar for the "degranded dogs" we are if that is what it will take in the end ? Guys, once you awaken - there is no such thing as "leos outburst" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 23, 2023 This "outburst" is out of love. He's reacting to the absurdity of human stupidity he sees from his point of view. Leo's style is very direct and straight to the point much like a strict zen master would be. Thats just his style. He's not insulting to try to belittle the person. He's trying to guide them in the right direction with his own style. His style is not passive and lovey dovey like someone like rupert spira or eckhart tolle. He is truly just interested in guiding those who are committed and interested toward truth. Thats after all why we are all here isn't it? For TRUTH. Truth lies at the heart of self actualization. He is doing us a big favor. These comments are not from arrogance. They are deliberate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 23, 2023 The only thing I realized from this outburst is that only stupidity can kill God! I understand him. Really I'm contemplating since years how can I love stupidity even my own but is such a hard shit to swallow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm grateful to be calling him out, I used to be a avid follower of his. Can you go more into detail what you mean here? You can also DM me, I'm interested to know.

Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I don’t want to act like an expert but dealing mental health issues myself for basically my whole life, more or less - it’s quite understandable from my POV that he seems insane some days. This work is clearly not the most convenient to involve yourself in. In fact, I feel it tends to be so challenging, most of people can’t really wrap their mind around it without freaking out. I don’t know how much time he actually investigated now in trips, but from my own experience and other beloved people I shared trips with, I can say that 2 of them had been institutionalized after a trip. Luckily I never must have gone that road. The realizations can be difficult anyways, but for me it was kind of freeing most of time bc it released so much mental struggles I had within a blink of an eye. Even if I also struggle with the fact that I am basically alone with all the crazy experiences and insights I had. Suicidal ideation though is the easy way out. I think it would be more wise to open yourself for the possibility that some people (all God as well) know very well what he is pointing to and that they can also exchange experiences with him. Also if god creates all of the stupidity then he’s also in responsibility in changing that if he’s annoyed/bored of that.
