Wrong Insight: 'Nothing exists outside of MY mind' - Leo's Greatest Pitfall

[Nemra]

@Princess Arabia I came to that conclusion on my own. I have always been skeptical of his teachings and his opinions and respect my experience too much.

@Princess Arabia you're such a Leo parrot 

[Twentyfirst]

I want to try what is in the course and see for myself. I am open minded to what Leo is saying but also idc how great of an experience he is having because I am selfish and care about my experience more so if this will help with my experience then that is great

People need to take a break from this forum and also from Leo teachings for at least a month, otherwise they get delusional of how awake they are and are still confused. When they don't agree with something with Leo, they start a rant of how he is wrong about everything, which is not to say that we need to believe him or blindly follow him.

Why are people always telling people what they should/shouldn't do. Do what's best for you. That's my job, remember.....slave!

This reminds me of your  god-forsaken solipsism video..you literally said that you don't have conscious experience of your own and that I'm imagining you teaching me solipsism.  I was really convinced about that back then and I made a (not well thought out ) thread here that I've awakened to solipsism. 

 

You fell into a trap.  You took it as a belief.  That is NOT awakening!  You have to awaken to Truth not be convinced of it.   Be careful as the ego will even right now take Leo's words and either shun them or possibly turn them into a belief! The ONLY way, and I mean the ONLY way - to Truth is Yourself - meaning do the spiritual practices.   Yes, be open and curious that perhaps this Leo character may possibly be one of the few teachers that can actually guide you in the right direction.   His words may even trigger a spontaneous awakening if you are gifted enough - but your mind must first have to be open - and clear of any dogma - Then - and only then - you will BECOME the Truth - and you won't need to be convinced of it!

I wonder if you will ever see the ego in yourself, or do anything to dissolve it. As long as I'm here, I will speak the truth as I see it. If it offends you, ban me. Or ask yourself who is feeling offended.

1) You will misunderstand this but I'll say it anyway: EGO IS GOD.

2) It's not about being offended, my job is to guide people to higher consciousness than they have presently experienced. That's why I'm here.

And also for the jokes.

The ego is god, lost in its imagination. Until it directly realizes itself and lets go of misidentifying as a limited mind.

We are the same god, experiencing its imagination through apparently different forms. Look inside and see.

For those that follow your teachings, as the most awake person on the planet, maybe you can share your insights about the value (or not) of ego death?

Ego death is something humans invented as part of the spirutual games they like to play. It has value for humans because it makes humans obedient, passive, and managable. Which has genuine value for society which needs order, but it has little to do with Consciousness. I don't care about ego death, I care about Consciousness.

Cheers!

In fact Leo's videos are so powerful that I've deliberately decided to stop listening to his videos for a while and take a vacation because he threw truth bombs everywhere and I couldn't handle it . 

You are right in that I took it as a belief.  And that's why I have no beliefs or try to be without any belief systems .because I recognise that the only barrier that prevents me from seeing the truth Is my beliefs. 

I even tried to stop reading the forum  but I couldn't..If I read something which jars with my belief system.. I assess whether it is genuinely new information or can be subsumed into a category I've already considered. If it is something new..and which impacts on my beliefs..I will try to assess the reliability of the new information and spend time considering the implications. I am prepared to change my existing beliefs in light of new evidence which would indicate my current beliefs are untenable.

It IS spirituality.  Leo Gura will surely die when you become God.  You are God now, but you aren't in God Consciousness now - you are in Leo Consciousness.   So unless you are saying you don't care about dissolving egoic behavior - wbich in that case you are right- that is all just a nice goal of the ego (counterintuitively) then I have to correct you.  I think we do agree though.

@Leo Gura what then is the experience we refer to as ego death?

I care about that within reason. But I don't worship it as some of you do. It is ultimately a tangent in this work.

Who the fuck knows what you mean by ego death?

You can have a dissolution of thinking of yourself as biographical creature, replaced by a Universal Self.

You won't be awake until you directly realize god, and you will continue to suffer until you stop identifying with your ego. All of your imaginary adventures only tighten your attachment.

This is the fundamental insight of spirituality, and it will never make sense to your mind.

The Perennial Philosophy appears in every age and civilization:

There is an infinite, changeless reality beneath the world of change

This same reality lies at the core of every personality

The purpose of life is to discover this reality experientially, that is, to realize God while here on earth

- Aldous Huxley

*taps the mic*

This is god talking through its form, trying to awaken itself in another form. It's awfully quiet in here.

Deepening moves awareness beyond the level of ideas to direct integration. It takes the absolute inward, toward itself. Eventually there's nothing left but an empty portal, through which god lucidly experiences its imagination. Ego death is the final enlightened state within the dream.

Have you thought about that you could be wrong or not deep enough?

If Leo came to your forum and said you are wrong about spirituality, what would you do?
