The Distinction Of 'Real Spirituality'
By Leo Gura - July 21, 2025
My video about Fake Spirituality is more advanced than I see anyone understand.
This was a very advanced episode, easily taken for granted. You watch the episode and you think you understood what spirituality is. No. You still don’t understand.
There is a such thing as the distinction of ‘real spirituality’. What is spirituality, really? I don’t mean your opinion or judgment. And I don’t mean whatever you read in a book or heard from a guru. I mean truly getting a profound insight into what spirituality is. This requires serious contemplation work. You cannot have it by believing what I said in the video or reading any book. You need to generate an insight for yourself independent of anything I said.
Peter Ralston talks about how when he was a young man learning Judo, he spent a year training when one day he had a sudden and profound insight into what all of Judo was. After that insight his training advanced at lightning speed and he mastered Judo within 18 months — an unheard of feat. It usually takes people 10 years to master Judo, if ever, simply because almost no one understands what Judo is. It’s not about memorizing moves or doing techniques. There exists a distinction for what Judo is! That’s the advanced thing here. An understanding is missing.
Now, understanding that, I propose to you that there exists a parallel between Judo and spirituality. It is possible for you to have an equally profound insight/distinction about what spirituality is. You are presently missing this insight. If you acquire this insight your spiritual progress will skyrocket overnight. What takes people 10-20 years you will accomplish in a fraction of the time. But you’re going to have to do some serious work to generate that insight.
What is spirituality?!
First, you have to start by admitting that you don’t know.
I suggest you invest time working on this.
And DO NOT ask anyone for the answer! No one can tell you. This is not about belief or the right words. Either you generate it or you won’t have it. Don’t ask me to tell you. And don’t ask anyone on the forum. I will delete any posts about this on the forum. Work on this privately.
