No-Self Is Not God-Realization
By Leo Gura - March 16, 2025
This is a very important video because it demonstrates the difference between meditative practice vs God-Realization. These are NOT the same thing. Daniel Ingram has extremely advanced technical meditative skill — more than anyone I know — and he’s achieved all the classic Buddhist attainments on the enlightenment path. However, he still does not have a realization of God. The ontology has not been grasped. Pragmatism and scientism have not been fully deconstructed and still hold sway. The self-deception of Bayesian reasoning still holds sway. Absolute Truth has not truly comprehended and realized. God has not been grasped. The ultimate nature of Consciousness has not been understood.
Listen to the last 5 minutes of this long interview to see what I mean.
This is why I’m such an asshole about these matters. The self-deception here is so insanely subtle and advanced.
No-self is NOT God-Realization.
Study this matter carefully.
This is not a criticism of Daniel or any disrespect towards his work. I appreciate his work a lot. It’s just about making sure that at the end of the day you grasp that YOU ARE GOD!
