IMPORTANT ADDITION: This is a subtle point which almost nobody will get: it's important that you become aware that what you were given in this video was NOT merely another worldview. You are a prisoner who was just giving a cake with a file inside. You got the escape plan from the Matrix! But! You have to understand the escape plan masquerades as just another worldview because that is the only thing the Matrix will allow to come through the security checkpoint! It has to look like a cake! Recognize what is the cake, and what is file; what is the Matrix and what is escape plan. Don't eat the cake! If you are able to grasp this, then there is a glimmer of hope that one day you may inhale the sweet smell of freedom ;)

I think the one truth in life is that all truths are true. Meaning whatever we believe to be true will always be reflected back to us. The belief becomes a self fulfilling prophesy and the more attention given to it causes it to grow within the individual. I think the most beautiful things about life is that there is no built in meaning in life. We give it meaning. The events and situations in life are neutral props what we mentally tag meaning to. A rainy day for example may be a great and enjoyable thing for one person and to another the opposite. I think its an individual process but that paradoxically we together create a mass consciousness that is the accumulation of our beliefs, thoughts and perceptions. Great video Leo.

@Aaron Doughty, The initial sentence is all I needed to read to create an immediate counter argument. For one, you couldn't be any more optimistic than what you just presented, allowing all possible truths in through the door so I suppose on a smaller scale that I agree with you, it's healthy to be optimistic much of the time. The problem with this is that on a grander scale it almost becomes a lazy insight in to how things should be. If you allow all truths to be true then you allow all possible points of view to be welcomed into the mix which furthermore allows morals to go unchecked and if moral values are irrelevant then what determines something to be good or evil? To state all truths are true means that you are open to the ideas of evil and that the darkest events in life and history are welcome to be repeated because those that have thought less of others and those that have committed atrocities are correct in every way possible; and there are endless examples as to what we DON'T want to re-occur in our future. To just say all truths are true means that you don't fully understand the fundamentals of what is good for humanity. Edit: I get what you are saying though, and I agree that meaning should be a priority in life which in turn gives the sense of progress and fulfillness but to allow an open ended book on *ALL* points of views to be true, well that goes to say that you also agree with radical ideologies which are detrimental to the health of many individuals as well mass-groups of people, which I highly doubt to be the case for you, at least I hope it isn't the case. It's proven even today that radical ideologies are ill-thought out.

How do you deal with sexual desire wile talking with a hot girl for example... It's frustating to know that it's just an illusory desire, and that even if you have sex, it's not gonna really and profundly fulfill you anyway... but the desire is still here... It's kind of difficult to transcend that... I might try a kind of awake mindfull meditation while having this desire... Like you explained in one of your videos, taking the feeling of this desire as the object of meditation. "I feel", and meditating on this desire during some time. How do you deal with sexual desire at the point you are now ?

3:00 "...Really I thought I would have an easy time convincing them of my points of view... But then I realized it was a lot harder than I thought." This is a common mistake that former believers such as Christians, now atheists, who are attempting to deconvert others make. All religions, including the religion of statism- the biggest religion of all time, are mega belief systems made up of many smaller values and beliefs built up over a lifetime of indoctrination and reinforced by culture or what most everyone believes is just the way things are. There is no one point of attack or magic bullet that can bring down a mega belief in the mind of a believer. You can successfully argue against a point or two with a mega believer but the many other points of the mega belief structure will remain intact. The overall mega belief will not be affected. Like network theory and the internet, a mega belief is held together by many nodes holding the overall structure together. Take out a few nodes and the other nodes keep the network functioning. This phenomenal ability is called Graceful Degradation. In a successful strategy to deconvert the mind of a mega believer, it is paramount to clearly demonstrate and illustrate you understand their mega belief and give it the respect it deserves. This will build a necessary bridge of communication over which you will be required to gracefully address most of the nodes of the mega belief. Only after a satisfactory number of those nodes have been taken out will the mind of a mega believer begin to lose faith. It takes time, patience, persistence and genuine empathy for the person losing their faith for a successful deconversion to occur. This is a great responsibility that should not be taken lightly, for when the mega belief comes crumbling down, the mind of a former believer will be in a state of chaos and will become extremely vulnerable.

What if i told you that its also a way to make yourself feel better, so the only thing you have to worry is being comfortable in your own circle? I 'd say find a ballance here and certainly do not fully become passive, just be aware that what you say today might not be the ultimate truth and you will despise it later on.

All phenomenon is part of duality, even the concept of enlightenment has a spectrum of duality, at some levels it is obviously real and attainable, at others it does not even exist. But Leo is mostly correct about removing the knowledge graph to get closer to realization. It is funny that when he describes his image of the graph he talks about a round figure made up of nodes of interconnected beliefs, the model of his graph to me looks exactly like what a brain actually is lol.

Well, I can understand why he haven't tried them yet, for multiple reasons: 1. afraid of the states of conciousness they can put you in 2. there are so many prejudices about them, so he might believe (if he haven't done enough research on the topic) that they are harmful 3. It's illegal and thus can be hard to obtain The 1. reason doesn't really count anymore, since he has already obtained very special states of conciousness through meditation, so he can't really be afraid any more. 2. Yeah well, do the research. For example see this study: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/08/130819185302.htm which concludes that LSD is healthy for the minds of the general population. 3.

Well, psychedelics, like LSD, are merely a tool one can use to speed-up the proces of reaching enligtenment. I don't believe psychedelics alone can get you there. You have to do enlightenment-work as well. But I think psychedelics are a pretty neat tool to get there faster. Just 1 or 2 times, and then you never have to take them again. As Allan Watts described LSD: "Psychedelic experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in which drugs are no longer necessary or useful. If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen..."

I cannot believe the sun shine on my face in the morning. Man has struggled thought thousands of years to find truth, despite the fact that so many believe in crap that cannot be proven in anyway. You need to move away form all this enlightenment crap and no self bull. You need to use your knowledge to advance mankind , not to tell use we cannot be sure of anything man has accomplished. Religion and science will never be on even playing fields, because religion is all based in the mind and unproven. Science is based in reality, what works, what is really helping mankind. Religion and what this video is about is bullshit and will not help help us understand anything. I'm extremely open minded and always willing to learn new things , with proof of course , and no fast talker with some crazy word play will change my mind about what's real. You if this and if that but don't prove nothing. Destroy your graft, Be a Vegetable.

@draconischaser23929 жыл бұрын
+D34tho It's because it has the exact same foundation. let's say that you see an spider sitting there in the corner of your room. And you are certain that there is indeed a spider in your room. You believe this 'fact' to be true. Suppose I walk in into your room and shine some light upon thet corner, and it turns out it was just a shadow. Now you no longer believe that there is a spider there. But what if I now use a hypotetical thermal camera that can sence the body heat (Spiders actualy don't produce that much heat, so this is only for explanation purposes) and take a scan of that corner and it shows again, a figure of a spider. Now you might think that there is a spider, but why can't you see it? Well, maybe it is white, and it just got camouflaged. At this point you believe there is a hidden (in plain sight) a spider. But I say now that my scan of the corner was actually a fake, that I purpusefully planted for you to see. And at this point you are probaly going somewhere along the lines of "screw you" and "so there is not a spider in my room after all". And there either is, or isn't a spider in that corner, which is the truth. What was going on all this time was just you reacting to information I provided and taking it all for granted each time. And we can make analogy to other examles: is 2+2=4? why? Who said it true? Are they right without shadow of a doubt? How do you know? How did they arrive at this conclusion? Are you Beautiful? Should you have any children? What is happening every time is you drawing premises out of what you previously 'know to be true' until you have nowhere left to go and you have to accept that you either don't, in fact, know for sure, or until you make a 'chicken and egg circle'. I hope this helped a little bit. :)

thank you for your video. I myself was a philosophy major, worked for a large international human rights organization, then as an labor economic researcher, and "finally" as an acupuncturist, by way of background. I used to be a hardcore atheist and political activist until I was introduced to meditation and "zen" and other "eastern" perspectives. for me, "zen" is the most practical psycho-rhetorical-existential "container" for this kind of thing. but in "practice" what I "do" is just constantly remind myself (or I am constantly reminded by some unseen process) that language is not real, and even the distinction between real and unreal, is an aspect of language. it is very refreshing to hear/see someone explain this to people. i'm sure you're into people like alan watts, and again, i thank you for continuing the tradition of wisdom.

+18 plus crap The question is: Who do you believe? Your world view, that was told to you by your parents and everything around you including the school system, media, who are owned by rich people, business companies and politics are also involved there. Or do you do your own research to see both sides and to get the big picture? So aren't you doing the same thing as +Connie Lee is doing? He is saying the Illuminati exists (I'm with him there), you are saying not. Neither of you both has definitely proof, but that won't ever happen I guess, unless they uncover themselves (which they will be doing at some point in the future), it's kinda the same thing with God: Noone has the definite "here it is, the God" evidence, but there is enough proof that hints at the existence of God. So you both are kinda saying the same thing, just from the opposite direction. It's like saying: My whatever is better than yours. Without evidence or a method of mesuring, you won't ever know. For me it is clear that the Illuminati or something that goes under the ame that is commonly referred to is really existing, there is too much symbolism in media, they are hiding in plain sight, making fun of us all, but presenting their symbolism and claiming "we have nothign to hide". I really hate how arrogant not only but definitely also the non-believers are. They are calling the conspiracy theorists ignorant, stupid and whatever, without ever doing their own research. Please don't believe me, don't believe no single person, just do your own research from different sources and keep an open mind. But please don't be like Neo from the Matrix or Truman from the Show and believe that the world you are born into is everything there is and that all things are just orginacally going their way. Start thinking about what is there and why it is existing in the first place and what it is doing to us. If you don't know and accept everything around you as good and normal, you are just doing what they tell you, to not think, just consume and follow whatever they throw at you.

I "see" things in my mind, or am motivated, and I "do." Sometimes it is still "ideological" sometimes not, it doesn't really matter to me anymore.

It's like when you are trying to change a habit you must exert willpower, but that habit is not even that deep in your field. And your ego is the center,the thing that is connected to every other node and so it's the hardest thing to give up.

Lets take a fundamental. The colour Red. The colour Red is a label we give to a narrow band of light frequency, we all collectively label red...but how do we know that we are interpreting the information our senses are relaying and is then processed by the brain? So if for example you could spend 5 mins in another persons head, retaining your recollection of your experience, you might view through that persons eyes the colour red, but find that their interpretation is far closer to your interpretation of the colour blue. Its just an example, but it can get far more abstract, when you apply the same path of thought to the senses in general and our interpretation of the processed information, its also possible there is no interpretation, that the process stops with impulses in the brain. But our senses my be interpreted on a very unique personal level, stepping into another persons viewpoint might by far more alien than we all assume, in fact i think most people dont ever ask themselves this, and usually when i try and explain it people just say "its words, red is red what are you on about?" hopefully i have got my point across, but im happy to rephrase if anyone is stuck on this one. Its easier to picture these things as the same to experience across all people, for practicality, but i think its a question worth asking oneself regardless of the conclusion, i think just thinking about it a lot helps, ive been contemplating this question since i was 6 years old (im 34 now) its still one i contemplate today lol, and i have reached no solid conclusion, i guess absolute is the true illusion, but of course that in itself is a belief lol My mother is a Buddhist and took up the practice when i was bout 8/9 so i have grown up around the concept of enlightenment and i remember her saying when i was a teenager "intellect is not enough". It angered me so much (i have always been seen as bright/smart, it really annoyed me) i was livid, and i was actually angry about it for some time, i spent about 2-4 years trying to disprove it in my head, in the end i just forgot about it and moved on, when one day i started questioning everything as i experienced a couple of things that destroyed my rigid dogmatic standard blind faith in science veiw, and that statement popped up in my mind and i suddenly understood, in fact i think i understand this concept now better than my mother lol I imagine many people will buck and violently reject this, but i realised why i originally was so angry , i saw it subconsciously as a personal attack, it was the ego, it was a matter of pride etc..in other words...bullshit. Realising the concept and why i rejected it before have been some of the most important experiences in my life

I have been also finding "absolute truth" only to realize it was a way to hide insecurities, especially when it comes to people imposing their "truths" on me, to defend... Here is a quote from J. Krishnamurti: "Sir, truth is the unknown, and a mind that is seeking truth will never find it. For mind is made up of the known; it is the result of the past, the outcome of time - which you can observe for yourself. Mind is the instrument of the known; hence it cannot find the unknown; it can only move from the known to the known. When the mind seeks truth, the truth it has read about in books, that "truth" is self-projected, for then the mind is merely in pursuit of the known, a more satisfactory known than the previous one."

Thanks Leo I think there is another point of contention about resistance that we must consider part of the equation consider also the bio-chemical organism you reside in: Specific neurons and neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, trigger a defensive state when we feel that our thoughts have to be protected from the influence of others. If we are then confronted with differences in opinion, the chemicals that are released in the brain are the same ones that try to ensure our survival in dangerous situations. In this defensive state, the more primitive part of the brain interferes with rational thinking and the limbic system can knock out most of our working memory, physically causing “narrow-mindedness”. No matter how valuable an idea is, the brain has trouble processing it when it is in such a state. On a neural level it reacts as if we`re being threatened, even if this threat comes from harmless opinions or facts that we may otherwise find helpful and could rationally agree with. ~ Athene

In my opinion, this was the most profound video you've ever shot. Very well done, Leo. There's one thing I'd like to point out though, and it has to do with your wording. You say that you have to completely remove the self in order to be enlightened. The issue with saying that is that if you actually did that, you would end up like UG Krishnamurti or those hardcore yogis, sitting on a couch all day, basically unable to interface with the world. And what I assume you advocate is to re-enter the game of society. I suggest you reconsider the process as "seeing through" the self. You need a sense of self to interface with others, to play the game. And in my experience, the body itself is a dualistic machine, so it will naturally maintain a sense of self. However, what makes enlightened ones enlightened is that they see through the self; they see that it is a fiction, and they don't take it seriously. Truth realization usually happens in a flash, and you can see it right now even when you haven't completely "removed" the self. But cultivating Truth and living in alignment with it is just a matter of seeing through falseness, dis-identifying with it, and seeing that that falseness is actually an expression of Truth (and paradoxically, that can result in you becoming MORE unique as a personality/ego). That is the thing that takes "1000 hours," as you say. But you don't have to completely remove the self. You only need to see it as it is. Just my ten cents.

I agree with you, actually; I guess I didn't word it well enough. When you operate from Truth, you no longer identify with the internal dialogue or with what you say. However, there still is an internal dialogue, and you still say things; it's just unhindered by self-agendas. So yes, with the direct experience of having no self, you're able to communicate better because you have no filters. What I'm saying is that the enlightened may no longer have an ego but they still have a PERSONALITY. There's no sense in trying to remove the personality because that's just what is arising out of Truth, no self-agendas.
@ActualizedOrg9 жыл бұрын
+DiagonalHorizon Personality of course will continue to arise, even more so than ever. You will stop being identified with personality, unlike now, where you feel the personality is all there is to you.
