Spiritual Enlightenment - Part 2 - Understanding The Conceptualized Self

[@lowbeampictures729]

Very impressed that you can do this with no jump cut.

[@pianosenzanima1]

thats why hes GREAT

[@hydraelectricblue]

ahahahhahah I know right.

[@Omnifonist]

He didn't lose his focus even for a second. That's crazy

[@willcharlt1993]

Clarity of mind.

[@backialakshmi7615]

Truth cannot be squeezed into words,but you explicated it in detail.You are beyond comprehension.please carry-on your journey and enlighten people as much as possible.

[@ShankarRaokalla]

You are doing so much hardwork for people like me to understand. Thank you so much Mr.Leon.

[@allangaus9761]

I really like the direction the channel is going! I'm so glad I found personal development at a young age. Thanks for all the great content and keep up what you are doing Leo! You are a good role model for searching for deeper truths over accepting what is told to you.

[@mathewsellar9443]

Leo, around 6 months ago I came across you. Since those 6 months have passed my life or rather my conciousness has shifted and I have begun to awaken. I guess I wanted to Let you know that although I didn't realise it at the time. You were the first guy that helped me take that first step on a very long bridge. Thankyou brother keep up the great work fella x peace

[@ActualizedOrg]

Cool

[@gigagrigolia1]

If you really reached that moment then there's should not be any leo or you and theres no you who can thank leo. Isn't it? You are still in your ego

[@yashbahl4334]

Giga Grigolia stop demeaning people and focus on the journey

[@christopherdirham8340]

She said isn't it like sadghuru. No one: Sadghuru: isn't it?

[@EmmadMunif]

After listening to Leo everyone starts believing they are enlightened. True enlightenment comes from heightened suffering and then its just moments of enlightenment, we just operate from our ego mostly and its cool really.

[@pabloravizzoli345]

Did my first solo meditation retreat. Made it to 7 days. Still a beautiful mind-unlocking experience. Scary how much I got out of it...then immediate ego backlash. Now 5 months later I’m close to ready for #2.

[@Dltrr-d8n]

I experienced this when i was 12 years old. I remember my thought process leading to it too. Absolute bliss. Are you the inside or the Out side? Both are the same. I did not know at time what happened. I remember the exact spot where it happen. I remember telling myself , make sure you remember this for the rest of your life. Those who know it ,don't know it. Those who don't know it, know it. That's the phrase i got out of that experience. I haven't been able to replicate it since! This experience has gates that no "one" can enter. Once "you" cease to exist. It will show itself to you. It is your birth right to experience this!

[@jimmyjack1896]

"Who is listening to the voice?" This was the "Wooah" moment for me. That voice is constantly making noise and for me personally, it fills me with doubt, regret, shame and anxiety. I also find that when I'm questioned on something, the voice isn't answering and if I try to ask the voice for an answer, it can't give it to me. My brain has the answer or at least the ability to work on a solution but the voice doesn't know much by comparison. This really makes me wonder what the voice is and what it's real purpose is. Great video. Keep them coming please!

[@tsconner88]

Hands down the best video I've seen on KZbin, and Leo's greatest video, in my opinion.

[@TheIngale]

I wish I could meditate with you in desert under the stars...for some reason... I cry here... this video really touch me, the bubble story take me to the first times then as a child I was flying away in thoughts that everything is a bubble in bubble and reflecting everything... no one was understanding me then... I was a little bit crazy for seeing myself in animals or friends. So for survival reason the inner Judge forbidden to me for a wile this experience. I can't help crying listening to you, thank you soooooo unimaginable much!!!!!! Thank you for your generosity and love, thank you for your being completely "naked" and authentic, thank you for your trust and devotion, thank you for creating this precious video, thank you dear dear Leo !

[@Roesilej]

Leo, I just absolutely love your videos. And I cannot express how happy it makes me that someone out there is trying to make these videos, and trying their best to convey a bigger meaning to the world. It's just so cool to me. Also, you're personality is awesome and I'm glad you're not dull. You can be funny and add comedic relief to the most serious of subjects, and you really know how to keep people interested. I'm really glad I found your channel at such a young age that I'm in. It's really helping me push myself to figure out who I am, and where I want to be. Personal development has become very important to me, and you've added onto that drive immensely. Keep up the awesome work.

[@pula52.]

Hello, and first of all- your videos are amazing. "I" wasted months trying to explain to my friends what "I" feel and think about who or what we are.. I'm 20 years old...and..for the past 2 years, life has been a big journey for me.. "I" started meditating, took control of my emotions and just started questioning what is or what isn't.. It has led me to some ming blowing ideas and concepts of how things might really work. And then "I" stumbled upon these two videos about enlightenment.. It actually feels good to know "I" am sane when "I" feel a tree or an animal.. It is liberating and it brought me peace.. so, yes, I think there is hope for us all, something is changing in this EXISTENCE, and it's happening because of people like you. THANK YOU. sorry if my english sucks. (or if I'm crazy) haha Cheers from Croatia, Vito

[@elaxel1469]

The other day I had the first no-self experience. I went outdoor for a sunbath, sit on a chair, take off shirt and started meditation. It was a sunny day the birds were singing, the kids playing in the park… My body became warm with the sun, my thoughs ceased and for some seconds I lost the self perception. Then I had the biggest realization, so crystal clear, my ego dissolved, I became everything, I was the children playing, I was the sun, I was the wind, omnipresence, there was no longer diference between me and the environment but when I noticed the discoverment I came back quickly to the mind. I realized that the mind lies us with the effect of dissociation between us and things, the me-it, and the self identification. Then I lost the fear of death, because I was everything, I was eternity, and this cannot die, only dies the mind, the damn mind. Maybe is a survival mechanism to perpetuate human existence, but the curse of the mind condemn us to a unhappy and miserable human experience for the 99’9% who doesn’t learn to ignore thoughts. I’m I becoming mad or it was a brief moment of enlightenment?

[@jackjofaz]

Moreira Da Lima Really?

[@maxinetierney2273]

+Moreira Da Lima Any LSD involved?

[@eileendavid3169]

+Moreira Da Lima I go with you on this experience. What you felt was the truth, is the truth that is being told, but I believe I am a long way from living this truth in my lifetime. (or maybe not)

[@catarinamay5168]

+Moreira Da Lima I meditate too and I had a similar experience. Not sure how to explain this, but I became 'the world', I was more outside if that makes sense. I was not what I was before. No I have never tried drugs and am not mentally ill :)

[@francismwangi152]

what if what you experienced was still a concept in your mind. Or an imagination what makes you think it was an enlightenment? And if that's the truth, what if all of the human being experience enlightenment does it mean we will feel each other. Not trying to judge you but our mind can create its own imagination, in we are in a mindset prison may what you experienced was a mindset too. Or what if self-identification is actually a good thing and once you get out of it you start to try finding solutions to getting back to self-identification. All am saying it's a complex topic

[@nonexistenty4152]

There is this profound sense of questions I have been throwing at myself, at every riddle up my mind , at every “so-called-problem” in my life ever since I began watching these “Understanding Spiritual Enlightenment” videos. I have held this self image of mine so strongly that anything that goes against it, I happen to resent! For the first time ever I have begun questioning my self-image . Wow!!!! I never did that :o it’s only a bunch of ideas thoughts, concepts, beliefs, achievements, qualities , skills. That’s it!!!! I have been trying to protect that !!!! What for ?? I have been trying to protect a concept !!!

[@wannabehappy6204]

Thank you Leo. Since the age of 12, I've been wondering about who is that entity inside me watching my thoughts, talking, movements, a.s.o. It made me very depressed because I could't understand. Nobody else has ever talked about this inner experience. Now you told me so much about it, and it is a tremendous relief to me to listen to your video. You are a big inspiration to me. Thank you

[@imortalizer]

I heard a Buddhist Monk say once that when you develop more awareness you find out more of what your are "not" .Your thoughts concepts (Ego), and in doing so, More of who you really are arises.

[@najatelbaj]

Hi Leo, I've been going through A healing process for almost 2 years now. I was starting to wonder what was the next step on my journey and you showed up. FYI, the trick I have been using to stop judging others and by consequences myself, was to say that the person was me. Automatically, I feel compassion and understanding. I can tell you that I have drastically my judging thoughts towards others.

[@barbarafeltovic8809]

Okay, listening to the Part 2 was necessary to complete one's idea of your concept. I have been feeling this way for years and you've put it in words. Always a feeling, sensation and knowing of the unknown. It is all fascinating and instead of the Voice staying maybe we are crazy, I will try and train it, re-wire, and continue to listen to your shared knowledge and that of many like you. After weeks of returning my focus on self development I have had several mini breakdowns, Ego slapping and humbling episodes! Of course that is obvious and they will get deeper and deeper. My communication skills are not sufficient to explain myself... Again when being surrounded by only a certain Style, awareness and routine thinkers it is that in which comes out. Even this Post seems meaningless blah blah blah. Looking forward to Part 3

[@Ironheart334]

Hi, Leo, thanks for interesting video. A few months ago I started to read books about focus, intiution, decision making process and so. What I came to realize, is that there are so many biases we experience, like priming, framing, anchor effects, fear of losses, potential possibility of unique situations, focus distractions and many others, which may, and often, lead to unfortunate decisions, because they are not based on the reality, but only on our concept of it. What is true self is a tricky thing, because when someone says: "I am true," it is just locking in certain concept, that one promised to escape. In such a case, it is crucial, in my opinion, to always have something, what tells the man, he is only dreaming again. That leads me to quote: "More I read, I know less." This corresponds to yours statement about the quantum mechanics, because more and more one discovers about certain topics, more he or she sees, that the intuition fails tremendously and even logic is hard to apply. For everyone, who wants to challenge the concepts of own mind, I would recommend the books Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman.and Focus by Daniel Goleman. Have a nice day :-) Thomas

[@celiastratton6167]

All I can say is that I have always been looking for truth. I think this is one of the biggest answer that I have been searching for....thank you very much I am excited to peruse this journey. Amazing

[@MrLeighman]

Leo is really taking me on a wild journey, he blows my mind every time!

[@adeelali8417]

This was incredibly profound. I have been reading and trying to understand non-duality but this has brought it home. 39:20

[@DubstepDJHydra]

Leo Gura, I rarely comment on you tube videos, And I welcome anyone to read this and comment about what I am talking about to share the free wisdom and insight that is everywhere. I have to admit you have outdone yourself Leo, this video really struck a chord from within and goes with what i have been researching lately, You are very direct yet indirect in talking about the Conceptualized Self. I stumbled upon your videos 3 weeks ago while looking to learn how to meditate after many wise people told me over the years that my body was telling me to meditate and reflect. once i found your meditation guide video, it took off from there. After that very video, I had binged watched any video in your library that was a problem in my daily life that i had been having trouble discovering solutions to overcome what i understood as part of the self at the time. I read your newsletter and watched all the extra 20 videos about limiting beliefs, and have found great fascination in self mastery and it gave me the kick start to really get my life into shape and start to get a firm grip on changing reality and changing myself for the better. After watching your method on explaining all this information that points at creation one of my good friends told me i might be interested in Bashar, so I you-tubed him and found him absolutely fascinating as much I am fascinated in you for all the free wisdom and insight you give us from your dedication to self mastery with videos and the website.I would like to know what you think of Bashar and his teachings, I have days of audio sessions from 1984 to 2013 and you speak of the same things he does but in another facet of explanation. I am giddy that you are going into advanced topics now as I come to research and learn so much about the process of self mastery and existence as a whole. One thing i noticed that you, Bashar, and the Secret did not really lay out a direct "how-to" method on letting go of what we hold onto so dearly, everything we have come to be conditioned with all the years previous to becoming aware of the possibility of enlightenment. Last night while while fighting a nasty virus, I happened to stumble upon another key to this grand process, a way to "let go" from my understanding, its called the Sedona Method, by Lester Levenson,its also called the Release Technique or Sedona Release. Its a course designed to help you isolate and erase what we label as negative beliefs or suppressed emotions that prevent us from going forward in the process of self actualizing, I feel this is one of my biggest issues is not understanding how to let go of everything and surrender to it all and become one. after spending the past few weeks heavily looking into this and stopped being the video game addict that i was, its been revelation after revelation, eureka moments, epiphany after epiphany from all the culmination of what I think I know about reality merging into a singular blob. I lost my job in January from being stuck and its been a tough fight dealing with the circumstances that i thought made me "feel" specific ways, I know now that circumstances don't matter, only state of being matters, and now I am in the process of finding out what state of being i prefer, I think it to be true happiness,but at the same time I wonder is that only because from what I have read / experienced so far. Starting this empirical investigation as you so elegantly put it, it has been quite the ride and now I believe I am at the tipping point in the snowball effect of this process, I am going to research the sedona method tonight and get started on the course from 1992, I would love to hear what your thoughts on this giant blob of text could be given my explanation of where I am now currently as I type this up, I know that you are extremely busy and don't have time to do much but I can only attempt at making contact. I hate to ask for free coaching but in my current state of affairs I cannot afford your coaching yet but will make it a realty as you are such a wonderful person to listen and talk to. A comment should be sufficient since you are really good at being able to sum things up and speak the truth in a concise manner. I open my ears to all those who are becoming passionate for the great change that is coming for those who seek self mastery because all my friends and family who i speak with tend to brush me off and I cant seem to find anyone in my circle who shares my level of enthusiasm in pursuing this grand quest, like the greatest adventure you could ever undergo in a lifetime. After losing my job, running out of money, not getting any unemployment benefits and getting sick as of 48hrs ago, I think this it is becoming more and more evident that I need to act the part and make the change not just have knowledge to solve everything, being as stubborn as I am, I realize that knowledge goes hand in hand with action and with both together we can achieve magic through the many tools that are available to us, I just find it hard to take the leap of faith as some would say it, but that's only because i am stubborn as a bull. I am Curious to any response I may get from this story I have written, again feel free to share your thoughts on the situation whoever you may be and what you think of this culmination of ideas of self mastery from all these people. reading all the comments before writing this was also fascinating, more evidence that there are other like minds searching for answers, searching for a method of obtaining all the benefits everyone talks about that sounds like a magical dreamlike life that only I can imagine at this point. If you wish to work collaboratively in sharing knowledge of this self mastery in the future ("now") Send me a PM and I will look into working with someone on the similar wavelengths, as none of my friends wish to join me as a team to work towards a common goal of enlightenment or they are just to busy for online communication. To all of you the best of luck. Best Regards - Sam

[@ActualizedOrg]

Who is there holding on to things? Who is there to let go of things? Look deeper.

[@DubstepDJHydra]

Actualized.org Thanks for the quick reply leo, I am now working on looking deeper, asking questions to peel off the layer's essentially that are my limiting beliefs from my understanding. There are many ways to do this but the most direct way seems to be either meditation or language pattern analysis to dig deeper into my "problems" and long standing assumptions of my "false self". Much Love, - Sam

[@ActualizedOrg]

SpaceHydra Looking square at it is the best way. Keep going.

[@Amethisko]

Please hit me up with a PM on youtube, Sam. I kinda feel we are on the same wavelenghts, am also struggling yet looking forward to the journey. Alot of thoughts, ideas and/or beliefs to be shared but noone seems to care, or perhaps I should rather say that I don't really seem to care to reach out to people. I'll share my story, if you are interested, and perhaps we can both gradually make something out of it :) -Eric

“Your mind is a label maker”. I love that analogy.

[@chrisossa2022]

God, around the 44 mark I finally began to be able to better understand al this, and at around the 44:00 mark a sudden sense of terror and fear came over me! How terrorizing it was as I carefully answered all of Leo's questions out loud as honestly as I could. Doing that, left me with a feeling like finding out that the voie I have blindly trusted is that hidden evil monster from a horror movie that was manipulating me all this time posing as a friend but has really been an enemy? I am left scared, confused, horrified, alone, perplexed...HELP!

[@claudetteguimond8035]

Keep being true to yourself and you will conquer that monster in that horror movie. That monster is a coward, too scared to show itself. You can only deal with what is in front of you. Until then that voice is nothing and can’t hurt you. You’re doing great. Keep up the good work.

[@scarletblack666]

Have listened to several videos and these are excellent. Thank you for all your hard work, Leo.

[@antoniakrause1129]

Very nice Leo. I've been going through this process for a few years now and have an experiential understanding. I decided to watch your vids, just out of curiosity and so far, you have put it into words very effectively. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of your vids.

[@BlazingWaterz]

Not usually one to comment, but this is definitely your most powerful video yet. Interesting points on empiricism; definitely sparked interest to read epistemology further! Thanks Leo

Thanks!

Thank you Leo for sharing free great and deep talks. "I"’ve already perceive that there is no distintion or separationa between perceiver and perception.

[@dollah3d]

hello this is my ego saying..holly shit this is awesome

[@Oxawott]

Oh gez😂

[@kk0170]

Who's ego?

[@brettwintersmusic]

Hey Leo, awesome video! Really clear and understandable (to the Voice, of course...). Two quick questions: 1. Are you enlightened? 2. Where do you think creativity comes from? The same place as thoughts? Because when "I" think, it feels as if it comes from "me," but when I do something creative like songwriting, it feels as though the ideas are coming from somewhere else, somewhere outside of the body. It's hard to do an empirical investigation of creativity because when I'm in that state of flow, if I try to be mindful, the creative flow breaks.

[@ActualizedOrg]

1. No 2. Sit down and look

[@JacobScott0000]

Many who follow this path say the self (thats the *true* self as opposed to the egoic misconception of the self) is where creativity comes from. I'm a composer, and I like to think of forcing a musical idea as 'imagination' which is separate from creativity.

[@brettwintersmusic]

***** Forcing a musical idea as "imagination?" How is that different from the way you define creativity? And I see what you mean by your first statement. It explains why sometimes I look at the lyrics I write the previous night and say, "I didn't write that..." I need to do some more investigation.

[@JacobScott0000]

well :) haha I'm not going to look up the 'definition' of creativity. i simply mean creativity and imagination are from different places. you can sit at a piano all day and come up with a bunch of all right music but once in a while when you mind isn't running wild (at night mostly) you have access to something deeper. this, many believe, is where creativity comes from. so, i define them as separate imagination and creativity. does that clear it up?

[@JacobScott0000]

its the age old saying 'thoughts cloud your judgment'. this saying is born of the same idea. wisdom and creativity seem to spring from somewhere beyond our conscious attention DiagonalHorizon

[@margaretcole2149]

[@Kikifriedmann]

leo thees are the very best videos i have seen about enlightment and i saw many! THANK YOU!!!

[@kai5522]

Leo, I don't get on the internet alot so I just figured out how to leave you a comment lol Anyways, I watched your first Enlightenment video & I knew deep,deep inside that this was the truth I've been searching for. I am what people would consider a "conspiracy theorist", but my mind is very open, doesn't mean I just" believe" anything, just means I am trying to get some understanding of everything around and the hows and whats of this place,earth and us, the humans on it and the brain and just everything in general. I enjoyed your video because I like to challenge myself and especially on my "inner self" for myself. not for anyone else. just me. (which isn't really me but you know). I am fairly new to all of this but not to mind control and how society functions. I just wanted to tell you thank you & I'm willingly going to jump on board. And by the way, I like how you are not giving this information out lightly, I can tell your serious and that it needs to be informed roughly. You had said in your first video that this will"rip the fuck out of your ego", and I busted up laughing, not to make fun of you of any kind just simply because I wasn't expecting that(& I cuss as well ha-ha) but it just got my attention. Thank you again & I'm looking forward to this journey. -Nicole

Good. Make it happen.

[@clifftripped6102]

I've been watching for awhile now and I have gained higher levels of insight for Oneness and Free Will today and its mind blowing in a sense, yet, feels like common knowledge its wonderful

[@999howdydoody]

That was pretty deep stuff, Leo. Especially where you talk about the three parts (actuality, perception, concepts) merging into one in which we simply become reality. Will have to watch this video again to get that more clear in my head! I've been watching and listening to your videos on mp3 while walking the dogs every day for the past few weeks and have found them helpful. Thanks for that. I especially appreciate the fact that this is something you're doing for free, which shows to me you sincerely want to help people to the best of your abilities without necessarily expecting anything in return. I've noticed that the parts of your videos that have helped me the most have been when you introduce a concept (for example "exploiting" people's negative behaviour to learn where you might improve yourself) and then give examples in day to day life where the concept could be implemented. The other day it occurred to me that maybe somewhere down the road you could expand on this approach by making videos in which you sort of re-enact real life situations, and demonstrate how your newly-introduced concepts could be implemented. Almost like little mini-sketches involving one or two other people, where you're showing perhaps the right and wrong things to do. Obviously I know this is a lot of work, and you look to be a very busy person! But maybe it's something you could consider introducing in the future if you can find the resources time wise. Thanks again for helping me get off my ass and start making serious changes in my life.

[@ActualizedOrg]

That's a cool idea. I like using lots of examples cause that's the best way to learn. I'll try to use more examples in the future with application.

[@SmartSolutions87]

Ohh man. I love this spiritual enlightenment stuff. Its really all about having an insight about our true idenfication. Yes we are more spiritual than we think we are, physical. We are avatars and all possibilities. We are deep enough to marvelous at our selves. I have watched the prev. video. And now gonna watch this. I believe strongly in the law of attraction. ♡ we are connected. Thanks Leo.

[@ScreaminMime]

Think of yourself as a country, as real as any country is real so long as all the citizens collectively agree they are that country. Your thoughts are nothing more than politicians standing in the congressional well stating which way the country should go, how it should react to other countries, etc.

[@ActualizedOrg]

That's a pretty good metaphor. Entities like countries and businesses don't physically exist. They are just made up of the sum of their parts.

[@S4n71a60]

Nice metaphor

[@ScreaminMime]

Prophet or Madman The schizo part is the ego/Congress reaction to the fact. I thought about waiting till the 15th to reply to your question just for notoriety. It sounds like way to personal a question for someone to give an honest answer to with so little info about "you". I think what Leo is trying to gently reveal is that only "you", "me", "I", "we" can find the answers to - what happened? I'm not enlightened, I don't have the answers, I'm just a beggar giving directions to wear I found a few bread crumbs at some point...

The more I go down the road the less I feel affected by emotions that, in the past, used to make me upset. These emotions, like fear of disapproval, embarrassment, self consciousness, seem to be falling away the more I work out my mind. Still the self is strong and there's a great deal of bias still to be done away with. Like you said, it's not easy to go through years of conditioning, though I'm willing to take the journey.

[@ActualizedOrg]

Yeah, as awareness rises, it cuts through the petty dramas of life because they are all just illusions of the voice.

Not sure if you discovered it or nah,but What's the most important thing in your life right now?you're alive right now,aren't you?

[@paulie6673]

Loving your work man. It's interesting to see that I am coming to the same conclusions in my personal development journey as you are. Playing the game of breaking identification with the ego and facing ones fears is not easy. I am doing it mainly through mindfulness and now doing my best to meditate twice a day. It just shakes up your entire being and it can be paralyzing at times. Reading Alan Watts, Krishnamurti, Tolle, Lao Tzu, Buddhist and Zen texts has helped. I am expanding my library each week to refer to and ground me, but it is hard not to focus on self development given my studies in social work and psychology. I guess it's a balance of living as healthily as possible, but realising that you are an illusion. Cannot wait for you to talk about techniques to be used and if you have books that you have read exclusively on the topic I'd gladly take a look at them! Have a good one!

[@efreyre84]

This is amazing thanks for another awesome video. Have a great day!😊

[@jordanloraas9291]

I sure am glad im starting to try to wrap my head around this kind of stuff at the age of 16 before my own false self image and concepts of who I am and what reality is, is further imbedded into my mind. I feel like If I really commit to my own investigation of who I really am I will be able to reach spiritual enlightenment later on down the road and live in pure truth, not the web of lies that my own voice and the voices of the billions around me have created. Thank you Leo :)

[@chrisnichols2241]

What gets me is if the voice is you then why does it need to tell you everything? Like "oh the cars keys are on the bench" lol if it's all you then shouldn't you know without being told by yourself?

[@Ang_r]

[@hydraelectricblue]

The reason I think it's helpful is because sometimes people misplace their keys and I've always used the voice to help me find my keys .

[@mishynaofficial]

@@hydraelectricblue because you're not contious all the time and distracted by voice. You're not living in NOW.

[@ironlotus153]

This is a truly fantastic observation. I have always felt a strong intuitive understanding of these concepts. The concept of "I" is the interception point of mind, body, and spirit. The combined interest of these 3 manifestations, creat awareness. And I believe awareness to be the (application)of Universal Conciousness in the physical universe. As you put it, inside our bubble we have the physical Universe. I truly believe that out side the physical universe, there is nothing but pure creative consciousness. And that is where we are receiving intuitive information from. It is one huge quantum entangled relay between the physical and pure creative universe. :) peace and love

[@LostSoulAscension]

When inner and outer merge, there is no longer observer and the observed. For anyone lost on that point. You can't use thought to analyse this, so then how can you ? This question is not answered by an answer. It's rhetorical. Go into it and you just might get a glimpse of the state in which there is no observer and observed. My question for you Leo, is it possible to go on living your daily life where inner and outer merge? The "voice" tells me that it is not possible because the way society works is based off of thought, which is what creates the separation and splitting of everything to the very core of "observer" and "observed." Is it possible to live our daily lives in society with dissolved boundaries between self and other? Something tells me yes, but is that the voice just trying to keep me on the endless cyclical course of contradiction that the mind loves to play when analyzing ourselves, to avoid the truth?

Enlightenment? You'll be too content to do daily work life or keep up with schedules. Its slightly possible you'd keep it together enough to go about teaching enlightenment to others.

[@salehadurrani6975]

Hey Leo!! It is simply awesome!!! Although there is no "I"& this "I" is just a concept or illusion (or in other words we can say it is a a curtain between reality and reality ....!! There are moments in life when we feel (or experience) ....this concept!!!

[@MrNikkiNoo]

Yes, Tolle explains your experience well. I think if you read Tolle, you'll see this more easily.

[@MrNikkiNoo]

Sorry, I don't see it as the 'meaning' of enlightenment, but I think Tolle explains it as that understanding it isn't enough, rather you need to experience it. Not wishing to argue, but I think your expression of it will not help. Makes it sound too difficult - and the concept isn't that hard.

[@karliegilbert3917]

[@justinlareau1668]

I love this. It hits on one of my own deepest thought or concept or conclusion I've discovered through my own journey into understanding everything. That being does everything exist only because I exist? Reality is only because I perceive it in my own mind. So let's say I no longer exist or never existed to begin with, would everything still be? Because if I don't exist to perceive it is it really there existing without me? Does this mean I created everything inside my own mind? If it's all just an illusion inside my mind what really is my mind? What really is anything? I can only experience my reality so if I don't exist my reality doesn't exist and therefore it never was real to begin with. Reality only exists within me. What is me then and do I really exist? These are all questions thoughts and conclusions I've pondered for several years now and I'm excited to have seen a deep video that is very similar to my own understanding of truth and spiritual enlightenment. It's very hard to explain what's in my head. It all makes sense to me but it's difficult for me to put into words to explain to others so i hope my comment is somewhat understandable to others. Otherwise it's probably just jibber jabber hibbity hooblah lol!

[@michaelwood8479]

This is some serious heavy shit. I don't know how to go on... My mind doesn't want to believe that it's true. The anxiety.. This whole idea of ego death just scares the shit out of me. Basically I feel like if I fully commit and follow through to this attempt at enlightenment as you call it, that I might go completely and irreversibly insane. I can already feel my mind trying to come up with all these stories and distractions for itself, and to be honest, I feel better right now when it's being that way. I'm torn. i don't even want to get off the computer and just be alone with my thoughts. I'm confused and scared as fuck. This is a lot to stomach.

[@hardikbhatia9798]

How are you after 4 years now?

[@pippippipper6873]

I have actually been in a state of Spiritual Enlightenment. It is a state that is very hard to explain but once you are there it is pure bliss and peace. And he is right, it's right in front of all of our faces but we can't see it due to self and what is happening around us. For people who actually get this glimpse (I lived in this state most of the time for a a year) it is difficult to maintain because as he has said in the past, society swoops you away. Once you "lose it" you want it back, however you have to do the work to put you back in this state. I just want to say he is on the right track, I get it and have been there. I'm having to do the work now to get back as it is not a switch you can flip on and off it is work but worth it.

[@oklavamusic]

Leo what do you think about animals and enlightment or truth in this case? Eventually we evolved just like any other animal. Do you think any other animal can experience the truth? If not, are we just lucky for evolving enough to experience the truth? or are we evolved "to" experience it?

I took the whole responsibility of my past , present and future and started accepting my good and bad side.... and later I realized there is noo good or bad inside me but what ever happened with me or happening to me are neutral …. this is me who tag them with good or bad depending on my emotions from here I started to change things …and this totally changed my prospective over this world n my inside world ….. A hollywood movie called (matrix1,2,3) which was based on jean baudrillard concepts of ( reality and hyper reality ) gave me a start.. to think deep and big at the same time ….. … and like Neo ( hero's name in that movie) who reaches his full potential or got enlightened... changes things and situations around thim …n i got inspired and fell in love with that character.... I want to be some1 like him but how ??? ...…and then I should first get rid of my limited beliefs and later concluded to change my whole belief system ….. n then I found that I have to work on my sub conscious to see visible results…this is one big step tp understand my self ….... in this journey I found u here,Leo (ur video on sub-conscious)…....and from then u gave me every answer to my unconscious questions …. n I want to thank you Leo for this lead Leo and ur work …..... and now I am planning to make adventure film (on me) to go around India with less resources what ever I have to find new interesting people , situations …. to learn something more about my life.... along with internet , u(Leo),books and my creativity , fuse psychology and philosophy with filming , adventure))) …..

[@vinayakmandrekar7938]

Hi leo, I am amazed to hear your molecule theory in human body, what you said I was telling my friend two years back when disusing with him big bang. I remember i was telling him a bacteria in human gut thinking like human about reality and not able to grasp reality

[@robrobinson6938]

The movie Revolver, directed by Guy Ritchie, does a good job of illuminating this principle.

[@hRsEleven]

Ok.. that was fun, thanks for that, Leo. :-) At first I perceived the following thought: "I perceive the thought, that I can perceive thoughts." Later on in the video, this thing that labels itself "Leo" brought "my" brain to the conclusion, that it's more like this: "THERE IS perception of the thought, that perceptions and reality are the same thing.", which further boils down to: "There is perception." Which is funny, because of course I knew before that 'there is perception', but here it comes to me, that something being 'true', and something being 'the Truth' is kind of a worthy distinction. Deep stuff here, keep it up, Leo!

[@ActualizedOrg]

Yes. It's really very simple: there exists reality, the end. No one is perceiving it.

[@54V4]

You got me FUCKED UP today. BAD. My reaction to the first part and this was "CONFUSION", rather... TOTAL KAOTIC CONFUSION. Now some part of me is QUESTIONING everything "the voice" is blabing. Because of your videos I started meditating [again] and start enjoying the process. Thank you!

[@ActualizedOrg]

+Work In Progress Confusion is a great place to be. It means the mind been dethroned a bit.

[@Deutsche22]

I have watched this particular video about 18 times, printed and read the full transcripts several times. Awakening for me began in Dec. 2015. Almost all of the videos that Leo has made/makes point to or are directly about Enlightenment in some way or another (especially in the last year or so). This one in particular has changed me forever. Yes, like you, it completely cracked open the ego and let the alert, still, alive, presence beyond form shine in. Leo, Eckhart Tolle, and a ton of daily practicing is all you need. Thank you Leo!

[@JacobScott0000]

I think this is brilliant that Actualized has come to this conclusion. What your doing is fantastic, bringing this into public light and also to some viewers who may not have been exposed to it otherwise. I think its exactly what you should be teaching! Interestingly, Leo, what are your thoughts on these two points: Many people who follow this path emphasise that we shouldn't *chase* enlightenment as this leads to a dualistic conceptions. That is to say, yes, many must have a reason to start doing something in the first place, of course. But, eventually, it's best to drop gaining delusions. Its a paradox which people should perhaps be aware of? Gaining serves no place outside of conception. My point is, have a goal, yes, but do not fixate on it, especially in meditating, or you are not. This is an important point, I feel. Point 2; I fear, any followers who are success driven may be deeply engulfed in material life and as such will miss the point and lack the patients. When I've been asked to teach lets say 'ordinary' people how to meditate, they start off very optimistic, I then see them a month or so later and say 'oh, hows the inner work going?' and I always get 'ohhh, yeahhh, oh that didn't work out in the end'. It is not personal development in the way many of your subscribers may think. for example how do I sleep with as many women, make as much money, success, and have a fast car? law of attraction and so on. These are goal driven endeavours that belong in the world which 'enlightenment' dismantles. In conclusion, the point I'm trying to make is this; the 'spiritual' path or 'enlightenment' is not personal development. Yes, fundamentally its the *ultimate* development, but you must leave your persona behind. Here, I feel, some confusion may develop. So, this is *not* personal development, in a sense. It is something which many people can train for throughout their lives, not attain it until much later in life and in some cases never attain it. Is it not a hard task and a (potentially) long road? I think, looking at the comments and your former video topics, you may have developed a specific demographic who are simply not ready or don't want it. I will always remember the scene from the Matrix when the guy is eating a steak and says 'agh ignorance is bliss'. Avoiding the hardships of realising reality. This is a perfect metaphor for my point.

[@ActualizedOrg]

1) Yes, chasing enlightenment becomes a trap. But you gotta start somewhere. I'd much rather that people become enlightenment-chasers than do nothing at all. We can help them drop the chase later. 2) No one said it was an easy road. Personal development is never easy. Enlightenment is just an advanced step on the same road. Deep down we're all driven to become the most authentic versions of ourselves and that's all personal development really boils down to. We boil away all your impurities until you become something you'd never believed you could be. Your kick and scream at each step in the process.

[@JacobScott0000]

Actualized.org I understand your point about personal development culminating to the authentic self. I always have issue with the paradoxical nature of our language. For example; "the most authentic versions of ourselves" is what it *is* and *isn't*? Surly the very versions that separate ourselves from one another and give distinction from him to her is within the boundaries of dualistic thought, and, as such, what we finally abolish via introspection? I'm not trying to nitpick. I think the language you've used on this topic is very good and completely understandable. Language can trip itself up. The same happens when religion attempts to discuss the metaphysical via its doctrines. Although, that is slightly more complicated and, it seems, simply cannot do it. Resulting in the populous believing in a literal personification of 'god', which of course, to a logical and reasonable mind, is nonsense. Its simply a linguistic confusion of the metaphysical message.

[@JacobScott0000]

***** Indeedy. Well, haha its funny, to detach from result. its almost a free for all? This is why the Zen Buddhists have such order in their sanctuaries. When someone truly breaks down their need for future gain and results, what does one do? the potentiality to be a nuisance to society is there when someone realises its all a game. And, so, they follow strict rules to allow order into their lives.

[@JacobScott0000]

Ultimately what do any of us really know. We don't have the brains to compute what's really going on with absolute certainty.

[@orlando098]

Very good, thought-provoking video. I am interested in the fact that you are looking at these ideas that I would say have been traditionally mostly presented in eastern religions, and taking them very seriously (in fact, IMO more so than a lot of people that make a religion out of them), but from a more practical and no-nonsense way, which doesn't require special terms in sanscrit or pali or for us to subscribe to any legends or supernatural ideas or revere you as a guru or for you to act mysteriously or hold some of your insights back. I like things like this that sythesize what is useful out of different sources in an open-minded way.

[@gulee]

I am listening to this episode again after 9 years! I got a glimpse of my true nature! Thanks, Leo!

[@truthfairy2486]

The fact is that nobody on earth is enlightened now. I cant prove that with 101% certainty, there could be 1 or 2 or 3 people that are close, but i doubt anyone has gone all the way down the spiritual path and become God-kind, not yet. Jesus was enlughtened, Buddha was enlightened. Most people dont even know the ultimate truth, how can you claim enlightenment without even really knowing what it is. A spiritual being will not go around and tell others that he/she is enlightened, he will be too fulfilled by life and too free from ego/mind that he will just live the life and anonomously spread the truth. Google *truthcontest*, click the earth icon, read *the present*. Its the key to our next and last step in evolution.

[@madprofessor-home]

I think I've experienced some sort of 'reality' described here, it happened twice for a short time and not sure how to reproduce that thing again. Maybe being outdoor or in nature helps ?

[@ActualizedOrg]

Being outdoor does help because the majesty and scale of nature dwarfs the human ego. That's why monks and yogis like to meditate in the majestic mountains. That's also why Zen has those beautiful gardens. But nature alone is not enough.

Hi Leo, I liked both your videos very much. The first one really impressed me. My only comment is that finding the truth of who we are or what is may not be as important as find ways to subsntailly reduce our suffering and that of others, as Buddha would put it.

[@ActualizedOrg]

Nothing is important in the ultimate sense. Importance is just a projection of the illusory self. There is no reason to end suffering. Suffering likes to exist too. Again, only the illusory self says suffering is "bad".

[@rguerreschi]

+Actualized.org Yes, we should completely accept both physical suffering and mental suffering (afflictions) as a natural part of life. But we have limited time and energies to dedicate to understanding potentially infinite aspects of reality (be it "numenas", sensations, or concepts). We should therefore focus on developing those understandings, habits and capabilities that can best drastically reduce our and other's mental afflictions. Anyway, thanks for the outstanding job you are doing! Keep hacking at it, with open mind and full joyous drive!!

Leo, Thank you for this video, I have been listening to alan watts and eckhart tolle now for 5 years , they are trying to convey the same principle that you have put forward. Several times now I have found myself at the cross road, when I come to the crossing I am met with fear of the unknown. I worry that if I have a psychic break, will it make me insane, or will it make me free. This fear that i get I wonder if it is my psyche trying to protect me from whats on the other side or does it give me the fear to keep me under it. I am so weighed down by the heaviness of my mind that it is unbearable and my mind creates my own prison or personal hell. I am afraid of the cross over I am afraid that maybe the other side is chaos and my psyche or ego or brain is taking the chaos out of the unknown and is creating order. Any thoughts? Thanks

I was skeptical about God, or at least the one taught in churches by 14. I just knew something wasn't right. My whole life has been a search for the truth and this is quite possibly the closest thing I have stumbled upon to be close to the truth next to some answers science may give me. But am I too young to start this journey? Should I wait? Not sure. I just feel like this is right for me. Other feedback from anyone is accepted. Thanks folks.

Thanks for the reply Leo. Much respect for you and what you do. Keep up the good work man.

Leo thanks for what you do. I'm getting a lot out of your channel. You're super professional which is great. I'll point out one piece of constructive criticism, that you diminish your professionalism a bit when you put down philosophy ("mental masturbation," "useless theory," etc.). When I started studying philosophy in the early 1980s I came to some similar conclusions. But after 10 or 15 years, especially after getting into revisionist thought like Whitehead, Hartshorne, Cobb, Griffin, etc., I moved to another level. The last several years I've been moving toward a new way to teach--away from the traditional. This new approach necessitates looking at the old way, but incorporating work like you and others are doing. Aloha!

Keep digging deeper until you have a direct experience of what a thought actually is, and finally a taste of your own existential nature. Then you might sign a different tune. I don't dismiss philosophy lightly. There are very deep structural reasons for why philosophy is a dead end. In fact I might write a book about it.

[@raiseyourvibration1411]

+Actualized.org Leo, I can certainly agree that philosophy as you see it is a dead end. However, there is more! One of my main areas of interest in philosophy is that there is no self because our physical bodies are connected non-locally (in the quantum sense) at the level of (Whitehead's) actual entities, and because Heidegger's being-in-the-world (and Whitehead's ontology) collapses the inner-outer, subject-object, perceiver-perceived distinctions. This is essentially what you're talking about in several of your vids, and is why what you're saying is relevant and important. You're doing some great work! Aloha!

I would advise you to become enlightened first, then if you still find significance in those models, you can pursue them in earnest. Without enlightenment it is like you're stuck inside the Matrix talking about theories of what the world looks like outside the Matrix but all the while you still don't realize all your language and ideas are entirely motivated by the Matrix itself and are the very chains that keep you imprisoned.

Yes, Leo, being; without partitions of concepts or perceptions... that unlabeled experience beyond what we label as consciousness is. Infinite exist with in the finite. Similar; to a fish realizing it is the water, it has always been suspended in. You articulate the deep so well thanks, for all your studies that help so much with actuality. No time; is to see a tree as all it's evolutionary stages at once. You taught us their is no subject or object because that is all in the material realm. Inter and external are a program we were fed. Reality, can not be compared to anything. We can not assume to have a label for true Reality, but if we surrender to all opposites we can be cosmic and free of the human limited definition.
