My Advice To Leo, As A Friend

[caspex]

There is definitely some truth to your critique. Leo's teachings seem to not put forth the dimension of 'action' and 'doing' in the listener as much as they do with 'mind'. While Leo's teachings not working for you has to do with who you are, it's not merely that. People here should be less biased and see that maybe there's some truth to what you say.

There is nothing wrong with arrogance, if you do not understand arrogance then you lack wisdom. Arrogance is a defense mechanism against bullshit, and arrogance CAN SEE TRUTH, the only issue with arrogance is it is excess confidence that can eventually create distortions of the truth over time. But arrogance has its place. Humbleness is NOT superior to arrogance, blind humbleness turns you into a blind follower who gives up their autonomy and goes with the flow.

Going with the flow is a situational action, there are times when resistance is necessary. This is why the duality of resistance and passivity exists. Cling to either one and you exit a state of balance.

I participate in life fully.

Firstly, I don't consider Leo successful, materially or spiritually. 

You are labelling me as some "classic eastern philosophy mumbo jumbo" and casting me aside. Actually you are the one projecting your own ideas onto what I wrote. You are not seeing what I wrote for what it is at all, just labelling it and putting it aside.

I felt the need to clarify because you have misrepresented what I'm saying so much.

I'm not going to elaborate further though, if people get it they get it, if they don't, oh well. 

I only mention J Krishnamurti because listening to him can be helpful but you have to self-reflect together with him. You can do it alone yourself too, just pay attention to what's happening. In the past I've also made a post which was critical of him, but my view of him has changed after listening to him again. I am using my "internal compass" and "questioning" everyone. 

Give me the pros and cons of JK from your current perspective.

I, for one, would like to thank Leo. Because of him and, like minded people posting thoughts that have struck a chord in me.

 I’ve learned how to use something I learned at 17. During a couple months on the brink of death. An experience I am unable to articulate. Yeah, I had some drugs too, but my imagined reality was gone in an instant and I have lived a new one since. Until I started watching a few videos on not reacting and Leo’s forays one the human bullshit. Somehow, fifty years of major depression is gone. Nothing. I’m also not a horny bastard. For me, that’s saying something. I have let my pet misery go and I look forward to creating a greater being of love. (Sans lust) Something to live for at last. Although, most of my misery came from blind ignorant human beings. But I learned how to look at myself and people differently. I learned that I don’t need to take crap personally. I’ve also learned new levels of compassion. And thanks a lot Leo! I’ve also learned that I have a huge fucking ego! I always thought I was very humble. No, I’m an idiot. But I’m still learning.

I love you Leo, but you can’t show people what they won’t see. The human race is incredibly stubborn!

Nice. But understand that you did this for yourself. You created Leo to reveal this to you. You gave him the authority. Leo is only a reflection of you. Stop calling yourself an idiot and that you're still learning or you will forever be in a state of idiocy and learning, never getting it, even though there's really nothing to get because you are that, everything.

Nothing wrong with constantly learning, if it's coming from a place of knowing who and what you truly are and expanding from that place. Just like you said, you're "looking forward to creating a greater being of love". You're already that which you wish to be, you're just going to linearly experience it, and from what I've read you say, I believe you're on the right track. Being thankful and expressing that gratitude will only bring forth more things in your experience to be thankful for, while the opposite is also true.

He called himself the most advanced spiritual person on the planet yet I can clearly see that he doesn’t understand basic psychological phenomena.

I mean, the dude shit on his carpet instead of going on a hot date with his girl friend… gotta admit, not a lot of spiritual people can claim that achievement

I’m new here. I don’t do much social media.

 I just joined to get a message of appreciation to Leo and the work he does.

Thank you, Leo.

As for shitting on the carpet, why all the excitement? Do you know what he was experiencing at the time?

 I wish you all the best.
