About five years ago, I was using mild psychedelics and yogic breathing as a form of psychotherapy to help me treat my anxiety, PTSD, and other problems. Suddenly, all at once, I felt all the air go out of my mouth and my "self" with it. I shot out into, the "universe" I guess, and I went to a place with an infinite number of faces on every dimension. I lost all singular identity and realized, and felt that "I" was actually all of those people, but also a nonbeing, I was also no one. It and "I" seemed to go on forever, both everything and nothing all at once. Just as suddenly as I was pulled into that state, I shot back out of it to the "material" world, As I looked around, I knew that every single thing was fake, just an idea. I knew nothing was real, and it terrified the living shit out of me! I was shaken for weeks till I could even start to wrap my head around what I had experienced. It can be terrifying initially, but freeing ultimately. I've had many inexplicable experiences since before then and afterwards, some brought on by DMT and others seemingly at random, and all my perceptions of reality have been mostly shattered. If I explained to most any person how I perceive the world or universe around me, they would say I was insane. "Truth" be told, I don't miss "sanity" one bit. I'm much happier this way. My life has changed radically. I'm writing the books and creating the things I have always wanted to, without guilt.(was raised in an abusive religious cult and was programmed with self-hatred) My ideas about things are almost impossible to put into words, my religion is personal, but similar to that of the Gnostic, in that, I see only patterns but no real definition. I don't know if anyone can really know anything, but for me, the changes to my consciousness, no matter how bizarre or shocking, all seem to work out for me in the end. I've had dreams, visions, and an NDE, all of which have radically changed my personality. I'm much happier and worry far less, despite my past traumas and self-imposed stigmas. For me, all I have to think about these days is writing my books, leaving something behind for the other figments, then moving on to the next character in the next game. I probably didn't make any sense at all here, but that's my current paradigm. On a side note, despite experiencing something like Brahman consciousness, I've also encountered what seems like a God being three times. It cannot be described, except that it was infinitely loving, infinitely accepting, non-judgemental, encouraging, and absolutely infinite. I don't know if it made me, or is me, but what I do know is that it matches no descriptions whatsoever. I could write an entire book full of my thoughts and questions on these two subjects alone, but I digress to egress. Namaste, friends.
Hi, Conner. I'm glad that you successfully navigated your initiation experience. Individual experiences often share similarities. If it's of interes and comforting, I have heard similar descriptions and like responses from other males. Do you recall instructions, symbols, visuals? When experiencing alternate states it often takes me many hours of work to interpret the information received to glean the meanings and integrate the experience . Your description indicates that an energy download occurred enriching every cell in your body. Hopefully you received the message along the way to take very good care of your mind, body, and soul so that you may experience altered states safely. You can go deeper without psychedelics and to spiritual realms to receive "the fruits of the spirit." (energy frequencies) making clairvoyance etc. possible. You will continue the work eternally to master matter (self) and energy/ consciousness frequencies. Enjoy your process to peace and understanding. Focus on NOW releasing the stored dense energies from the past to enjoy greater freedom. SOAR!
I think a good way to increase your baseline is to LOVE EVERYTHING. I find that your thinking becomes more holistic the higher your ability to accept and love reality as it is
@@matthewjoy4244 yes I agree. A lot of work is needed to get to this point. Even though this is the goal I wouldn’t recommend to a beginner. One must really learn to mix wisdom with love before you can “love everything”
Lo intento Marcos. Al final me di cuenta que amar todo es la solución hacia la calma y estoy aprendiendo a amar todo y no dejar que el ego me autoengañe. :)
That's why it's best to smile at problems, sickness, disease, worries, fears, aging and even death. It's important that we don't let our wrong perceptions fool ourselves.
What you have written presupposes freedom of volition. ☝🏼 However, it is a demonstrable scientific fact that EVERY thought, action, and motion that has occurred in the phenomenal universe was entirely determined by every preceding action, all the way back to the “Big Bang” singularity event. 🤓
1:06:00 This topic about the connection between sanity and "realization of the true nature of reality" is so IMPORTANT. And it really became so obvious to me, when I started practicing and actually trying to FEEL, SEE and EXPERIENCE the true nature of reality by myself (not just believing "enlightened" gurus). That made me insane. Really to the point where i am not able to function as normal person. Everything gets deconstructed automatically now, and it's hard to "fall asleep" back to normal reality. Experience just flows, reality constantly changes. Thoughts, feelings, sounds, events, it's a constant soup, and no one to relate it to. There is literary NOWHERE to ground the experience. It's really such thin line between complete insanity and trying to pretend to be normal, in order to function here. The mind plays tricks, and often don't even understands whats going on. But the mind NEVER understood it in the beginning. It only imagined so... I basically had to take sick leave from work (even though i work remotely), I have to learn how to live with this state of consciousness. But every day is new, every experience is new. It freaks the mind SO much. It's more authentic, more RAW, more connected. It's certainly more ALIVE, than the unconscious living. Sleeping in the illusion of "real" reality. ❗But the price for "seeing the true nature of reality" is SO FREAKING HIGH. And now i have stopped the practice (for the time being), because I learned to appreciate the STABILITY of this realm, of what IS. Most of the people have no freaking idea, how scary and unsettling it is for the mind to see reality fall apart - without psychedelics (after the trip you return to normal, but if it happens without the substances... you have nowhere to come back). In this lofty , familiar, stable reality - you have parents to love, siblings, fresh air, hugs, animals, travel, life purpose, achievements and so on, there is so many beautiful experiences... This IS a very beautiful dream. So i decided not to fully destroy it for myself (for now 😄). P.S. I don't understand why "mainstream enlightened gurus" don't speak about it. Not everyone can handle that level of understanding. And they make it sound so easy and lofty... Thank you for the video, Leo.🤗
Thank u very much for your comment. It's going to help a lot of people feel less alone and less crazy..much as Leo's videos do for me. He is the only person I've found so far talking about this stuff. He really validates my experiences. This comment section is very helpful too.
I posted this question seperately but after I read your comment I think it fits here. My question was: "If consciousness wanted to dump itself down for the sake of experiencing this type of life, why would we want to mess around with that? Inevitably this experience will end so why not ride it out, as was intended?"

I just found and watched "nothing exists but you," re solipsism. It is by far the best and most clear explanation on solipsism I've seen. I know solipsism is true,---i was first given glimpses of the truth of solipsism in the 1980s---thru experiences I had, not by reading about it or exposed to it in any way other than the Universe giving me tidbits of how it works---or rather MYSELF giving me hints that I am everything. I "became" a plant in my office;; I became a cow on a field eating grass (could feel my hot breath coming out of cows nostrils) Since this process has come about over many years(I'm 76 now) , solipsism is not weird or scary to me---it is WONDERFUL Thank you for the amazing video, even tho I KNOW I'm thanking myself😊
Infinite concepts, with infinite sensory associations, then infinite vantage points from which to perceive those concepts, as well as infinite combinations of vantage points, And on and on and on and on and on and on it goes.
And all of that is a concept. So it is impossible to grasp it by finite language or finite mind. No matter how you describe it allways will look like chaising your own tail. Infinity is unspeakable.
I know right like dawg ive taken the same drugs you have and ive read a lot of the same books you have i dont need you to talk to me like im three years old and havent one ounce of experience on the things your talking about lol give me something real like how to be less selfish dont try and wow me with your implied superior intelligence
@@joeleonard5345 agreed, and it's just a fraction of his potential. His lack of faith in the listener forces him to communicate very clearly, but it also allows a fair amount of judgement and derision to creep into his material. I use such moments to recognize that Leo is human too, but I have had to walk away from some videos because I felt like he spent too much time mocking and negging the viewer.
@@TrismegistusMx I understand what you're saying but I don't see it that way personally. I see it as him just setting up how he responds to a person who is criticizing his view, which in my opinion is helpful because you get push back when trying to articulate these things to people who haven't heard these ideas. And assuming that the person you're talking to doesn't know anything about the topic you're speaking about is a good way to be sure you're argument is airtight in my opinion. I am a fan of his teaching style, it's very different than most spiritual teachers. He doesn't sugar coat anything or dance around difficult subjects. Like I said, I see what you mean and don't always agree with every single thing, but his teachings have helped me so much. He is huge on not taking his word and giving you things to contemplate and methods to independently verify all of his claims. Great stuff!
All I needed was mild tripping and Leo to get pretty damn far, but I am talking years of mild tripping and absorbing, I am not fully enlightened but the sheer amount of videos available on this channel is the closest thing to directly transmitting the real truth… You must dive in and do the tough work yourself but having this channel as a guide is a game changer for the planet, the value here is immense. I have even dared to open my own online store thanks to Leo. I was always the shy artist sitting in the back, the loser playing videos games. I know I am not the only one that Leo has transformed. This channel is a Godsend.

Leo I really appreciate you continuing to teach even though you realize that it is only I. Thank you for teaching yourself/myself. It is truly appreciated
One tricky distinction is between mind and consciousness. I simplify it by defining consciousness as an on/off state of being aware as a self. And mind can be defined as the foundation of reality, including the content in consciousness, and that can be different levels of experience. Leo's explanation of figments of consciousness I think is brilliant with the hierarchy of figments. And with my definition, mind can be seen as the totality of figments of consciousness. For example a molecule is a figment of consciousness made of atoms which are other figments of consciousness (also notice that the molecule is its own figment of consciousness which cannot be reduced to just atoms, so it's not like a material hierarchy). It's all mind structured as figments of consciousness which are all the 'stuff' there is in reality! Why do I need to call it mind instead of consciousness? Because I see consciousness as being off in deep dreamless sleep and on in the waking and dream states etc. Mind is always 'on' so to speak in my definition. Edit: A better term is perhaps what Leo used from 1:15:20 and to call it Mind (with capital M) to mean the totality of reality and mind to mean the individual mind.
@@Sbrjo From around 24:00 Leo talks about compositions of figments of consciousness. He also mentioned hierarchy somewhere but I don't know exactly where in the video.
@@Anders01 what I gathered from it was, yes, it is compositions of figments, but those figments are all even. No figment is more important than the other, hence no hierarchy. Just one figment broken into different figments that are equally important to the development of said figment. Similar to if it weren’t for that one thing/things that thing wouldn’t be here or if a mirror breaks, it turns to glass, which turns to sand, nd so forth. Sand is just a important to ur reflection as a mirror is. U know what I’m sayin? Lol
@@Sbrjo True, all figments of consciousness can be seen as on the same level. I think Leo even said that. So it's not like some mechanical building blocks.
On LSD I fully understood the interconnectedness of reality and how nothing exists outside of consciousness. I physically saw consciousness as this flowing blanket of time and space. It was beautiful but also terrifying. It felt as if I uncovered something that wasn’t suppose to be known. Almost as if I prematurely woke up from a dream. I thought I wouldn’t be able to live my life normally again. Thankfully I didn’t stay in that state for more than a couple days.
Leo is basically saying what is at the core of ever spiritual philosophy. But like he says everyone is getting it backward. It can be summed up as this. “We are not bodies endowed with consciousness, we are consciousness to which a body appears. “ You can take this further as follows.. “we are not in a world, the world is in us” Now, live this Truth. Live like consciousness, this is your true identity. There is no matter, there is no ‘there’, there is not future or opast, There are no separate humans, there are no people,there is only unity, one thing here, that is consciousness, that is you.
Leo is absolutely right about having to lose your sanity in order to grasp what consciousness really is. I used to be an atheist and materialist until I had my first manic episode. These videos would make no sense to me if I hadn't had that episode and the ones that followed.
God is the Most Great, God is the Most Great, there is no god but God, there is no god but God! The materialist atheist is insane, totally deluded and lost in darkness. The atheist is the most deluded and ignorant of all existing beings. "By your Lord's Grace; you are not inflicted by madness, but soon you will see, and they too will see, who is inflicted with madness!"
2:47 - "all physical objects exist within consciousness and they are part of whatever state of consciousness you're in" "so no matter what is happening, no matter what you are experiencing, whether you are alive or not alive - you're in some state of consciousness, always. that's the fundamental rule" Really deep words, they are pointing at turquoise, coral or even teel level of concepts.
“Eternity exists, and all things in eternity, independent or creation; which was an act of mercy. By this, you see that I do not consider either the just nor the wicked to be in a SUPREME STATE, but to be every state into which the soul may fall, in it’s deadly dreams of good and evil; when it leaves paradise following the serpent” -William Blake
The concept of «state of consciousness» sounds very similar to the work of dr. Hawkins on level of consciousness, except the difference between figments of reality and emotions/frequency. It also synthesizes nice with the concept of holons and holistic thinking, rather than analyzing shit to pieces. I also appreciate the knowledge you share around accessing higher insights, which requires elevated states, and the different nuances that comes with that, like not being able to read a book. I’ve been on a spiritual journey for 2 years now, starting with your series on spiral dynamics. Every day I learn how much I don’t understand, which is cool. Good vibes to you my dude
Leo, I can't tell you how many times you saved my life! You always come out with a video at exactly the time that I need it most! I've been struggling lately so thank you for the Kick In The Head to wake me up again!
I really appreciate this episode, Leo, although I'm only 18 minutes through. What you are describing as figments of consciousness I have been referring to as 'energetic signatures', each of which has its own distinct way of is-ness, although they are all made out of the same thing. No one would ever get me, and now I feel as if someone has.
@@harman9132 Hi Arman. I am not sure if your question is for me or Leo, but in case it's for me, I will share my experience. No, I did not use a substance. When I was a kid, I noticed that everything had a specific feeling to it: winter, a post-soviet interior, a woman selling candles at an orthodox church. It struck me that each of those feelings came as a 'packaged whole' having a distinct 'signature' to it. The same applied to people: I cannot tell apart faces (to me, all people look the same), but somehow I could register that people's 'signatures' were different, and sometimes they nested each other and/or overlapped. When I started doing spiritual work, I quickly grasped that feeling is all there is to everything and that it is made of consciousness. For that, I used Leo's guided self-inquiry and Peter Ralston's consciousness work.
Thank you for sharing your experience here. I can find this relatable, as I have had an experience that sounds somewhat familiar. About five years ago, I was using mild psychedelics and yogic breathing as a form of psychotherapy to help me treat my anxiety, PTSD, and other problems.

It can be terrifying initially, but freeing ultimately. It IS indeed a very beautiful dream!
26:20 this is so profound to me! It seems like reality is the exact opposite and reverse of what we’ve been told. Like how we were told consciousness comes from matter, not the other way. And how we were told it’s built from the ground up, not the top down. It’s nuts! We’ve been believing the complete opposite of what’s actually true our whole lives! Amazing. Thank you Leo for this video and your profound insights. Looking forward to more 💫
I don't know what you've been told, but as far as I'm aware, there's not even a universally agreed definition of what consciousness is, let alone where it comes from
@@mooseratt implicitly or explicitly we have all basically been taught the materialistic paradigm that consciousness comes from matter, and that matter is the most fundamental thing in reality. But of course it’s the opposite. That’s what I meant
@@pursuitofspirit yeah I understood what you're saying. What I'm saying that isn't true, because we haven't been taught implicitly or explicitly that consciousness comes from matter.
@@mooseratt if you grew up in the US they did 😆 did you ever go to science class? Biological life comes from complex matter. That’s what we were taught since day 1.
Thank you much for saying this Leo: for years I had no one to share my experience of beyond barrier of social reality, where I was desperate to find a point of reference like the radio, the outside, people. Nothing no thing would confirm my state of being since all came from me, I was the only source of knowing.The absence of other was a vast limitless fear, and the unknown to say the least.
Psychic abilities are accessible through awareness. The clairs are deep clarity & clear intuition, easier for some- like empaths. Clairvoyance is “clear seeing”. Practice seeing (or any clair) the same way you practice everything; with heart, repetition & focus. Example: if you lose something, see if you can see it/ find it in your minds eye.
👍💯 Class is in session, rather learn this, watch Leo than wasting my youth away in going to school that we learn things that we don't even use in adult life like 95% of the useless things we learned from school.
Enough time for both. Don't underestimate the value a strict daily schedule like school gives you. Win at school before you win freedom and enlightenment.
@vynce I agree. School helps to develope self discipline and problem solving consciousness. A preparation for life and I am 40 and still use some of what I learned at school. Of course an advanced version of them but it was Good for the start. But I used to think school was useless when I was a student too.
Maybe i wouldn’t say one of the greatest, i actually wouldn’t say that about anyone….But so many people underappreciate what is going on here and simply just don’t see the immense value that’s been given through his videos.
Leo, last night I did my 2nd shamanic breathing exercise and I had a magical experience beyond my prior understandings of consciousness and mental health and intelligence and much much more. I would love the opportunity to share that with you, it runs in line with this video as well. Great timing as people say here... I've got an interesting idea that the process of bringing your higher and lower selves together creates the pull to lift your conscienceness baselines... So if you want, please reach out ✌️🍄
The Indian sage Yogananda said once: "a saint is a sinner who never gives up"...and that's it, in this long lasting life journay into spirituality. Personally, I like to see this trip as the voyage of one's heart towards Home, the only Place where naturally anyone always wants to come back...F.
I have been listening to many pod cast on self development . I find Leo explains it the best , he gives you examples and exercise to follow . The others seem to talk a lot sometimes off track and always about themselves.
Amazing video as always Leo. I feel so fortunate for being your student, I feel like you might be one of the few people in the planet that is serious about testing and studying conciousness and I feel blessed for finding you. I’m doing this work with you, and I’m building this plane with you, because as you said, Infinite Conciousness is we could say “the baseline” but embodying wisdom and intellingence is what I’m struggling with too. I can access to a higher state of conciousness after doing yoga, because my body is relaxed and I can access Source DIRECTLY, and everyday I find new things and new realizations. I guess enyoing the path of discovery is what brought real fullfillment for me. Let’s love the proces of discovery, at the end, I think this is what God loves, discovering itself. 😘
Advaita Vedanta‘s take on states is: All states of mind appear within unchanging consciousness. Consciousness is no state since it doesn’t have a beginning or end. It is ever unchanging and unmoving. Consciousness is non dual reality. Consciousness is without separation to any state. There is zero distance between your state of mind and consciousness. Your mind can learn to know what consciousness is. Consciousness is nothing you can reach. Why? Because you are already consciousness, right here, right now.
@@dcktater7847 buddha defined enlightenment as ' the end of suffering', why ? because how can something that doesn't exist in the first place suffer, you was never born nor you'll die, you are eternal consciousness, your human idea of 'you' is a constant thought in your mind, it's imaginary, you are imagining yourself the illusion of 'maya' is very strong at convicing you otherwise, even giving you a fleshy form, but once you become lucid in this dream, suddenly you're like AAAAAAAAAAAH , AAAAAAAAAAAAAH i see, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH this 'becoming lucid' is an experience, they named it satori, enlightenment, awakening, samadhi, and many many names in all cultures, that's what you should look for
@@dcktater7847 Easy. It is actually very practical. Suffering is a state of mind. If you don’t know what consciousness is, then you easily mistake yourself with your mind. This creates more suffering and reactions that aren’t based on freedom, peace and happiness. Consciousness is whole, complete and full, unchanging, unmoving, ever without properties, all-permiating, actionless, without fear, without thought and fully ordinary and absolutely normal. It is pure love. It is you. Consciousness is the ever free subject and no object. When we make ourself into objects then we forgot our identity with consciousness and believe we are the ego mind. Since consciousness is free it doesn’t matter to it whether your mind is suffering. Remember suffering is a changing state of mind. And consciousness is the unchanging witness of all there is.
Congratulations Leo. 🌟 Consciousness revelations occur naturally as you reach for deeper Truths and relax into new energies. This process is eternal as the universe expands and creates new frequencies to welcome , master and learn how to use. Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey in an honest, responsible manner, showing the way with dedication and commitment. The journey does not get easier but it does become more meaningful and enlightened with more spiritual gifts, plus increasing grace, peace and love. Understanding Consciousness with all it's promises is exhilarating and preparatory for your next ✨️ unending universal experience. GO LEO. Thank you for sharing and teaching others how to access the keys to the kingdom. You are an inspirational wayshower. I hope many will follow your example. (I am 84 and using Consciousness to create my next physical life.) I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.
Yes, Amras, if you are authentically prepared for awakening in mind, body, and spirit and surrender to deep relaxation "do nothing meditation" will work for you. Something is always happening. Recommend patience, belief , and daily earnest meditations (deep relaxation) of 3 to 4 hours. Awakening can occur spontaneously through heightened reverential states prompted by heartfelt reactions to nature, music, dance, entering the zone during sport activity and love or strong desire to aid another. Awakening must be established in each incarnation. Authentic purity of heart, mind and body, truth seeking, Gratitude, forgiveness, right or balanced conscienousness, trust, absence of fear, longing, desire for power over others, etc. (see list of virtues online). Awakening can occur quickly by surrendering to the body's true natural state allowing it to balance electrically which generates a specific frequency in a range compatible with source energy. Energy balance ia natural in both the body and the body's energy and the energy field of consciousness (Self) and may be achieved daily to ensure the universal life gifts we seek. Meditation is my current personal preferred choice of available tools. Awakening is not a choice. It is necessary to eternal evolution. Leo's videos can help prepare you daily for your meditation exercise. Faith, practice, right thinking, Love. Awakening is your birthright. You are already awake and practicing how to BE.
Yes, Amandika you are free "to BE " as you decide. If you choose to continue to evolve and expand with the universe then you will choose to accept and embody those expansive new energies, frequencies, and consciousnesses as they appear in the universe and experience and interpret them in accordance with your understanding, participation and creativity. You are a creator. It is what you do. There are no material promises in energy. Energies are available to you as elements of possiblity. We must use them to create what we wish to see in the world. Surrender to the universe with an open heart and the energies / consciousness will guide you. You can listen and cooperate or turn a deaf spiritual ear and suffer the consequences. Everything you will ever need is here now within and without. The task is yours to accept or decline ," to continue to BE or not to BE.....that IS the question."
This was my favourite episode from you so far, especially what you said at the end. I needed to hear all this at this point in my life. I’ve always drifted back into watching you at various points in my life and I’m now excited to start watching you again
47:35 when you realise there was no "time before you were born". In fact, there was no time at all, ever. All there is, is an eternal "Now" moment, experienced again, and again, and again, by consciousness, forever. There was no "yesterday" in your life, you never woke up this morning, you never opened your phone and pressed "start" on this video. You're imagining it all. Right. Now.
It’s working out as it was all designed in a way, infinite love for life equals happier lifestyle. Living my ultimate truth to the max! 🙏🙌 thanks Leo it’s been a long 12+ year journey on & off, but now I’m really living my true state of being passionately & always staying aware of all forms of energy as much as possible!

Random theory: if consciousness is aware of consciousness, it could be conscious enough to not want to be found, therefore consciously breaking itself down into smaller nd smaller figments. Halfway through, nd u gotta realize don’t look to deep into things, accept it for what it is, and adapt to what u want as ur figment of consciousness.
Thanks for your content you’re putting out here Leo. To be honest, I’ve sort of out grown your content mostly but every now and again something will grip me and pull me back in. Your stuff and your booklist introduced me to people like Ken Wilber and I highly appreciate that. This channel also introduced me to 5-Meo which I’ve now had the privilege of experiencing on several occasions. Continue raising the collective consciousness Leo. Truly doing God’s work 🙂.
Lastly, I feel like intelligence is infinite to what u have experienced (street smart/book smart). U can go out an experience new things to expand ur intelligence, but to make assumptions on subjects unknown is dumb. Too expand intelligence/consciousness u have to be interested in what u are learning, and be able to comprehend. Like u said this is a theme of things coming full circle. It’s so obvious what intelligence is thats it’s unheard of…
Thanks Leo, this was one of the best videos you've made to date! This helped me very much so I want to express my gratitude. I'm so lucky because my brother happens to be one of my greatest friends and we are both on a spiritual journey together. So it really helps to have someone to talk to about this stuff and not feel isolated or plain crazy. But I'm always sending him your videos and it's helping so much, so thank you 🙏. Keep up the great work Leo, it's making a huge difference in our lives! ❤️
I 100 percent understand the not able to read a book or talk to people. I went to a level where I was able to see multiple outcomes after my actions and from my view it looked like I really took both took the actions, but would remember that I did not and could not see which one I actually took in the quote “real world”. It’s like if someone told me “take out the trash” from my view I saw all possibilities and responses at once so my response would be “I already told you I took it out”, “I’ll take it out later”, or “why are you so mad? I I’ll take it out in min” not to mention I was able to see the possible responses that another person could give, while at the same time seeing it as them already given the responses. Now to a person with low consciousness would see me as having sort of a schizophrenic episode because to them it would look like I was randomly talking and unfocused. But to me I was trying to respond to all seen possibilities unable to determine which one actually happened in the real world. Changed my whole view on schizophrenia honestly.
What is the end goal of spiritual development really? Whatever you end up with you have to give it up in the end. Is it enough to love your life here and now?
Most insightful video yet and came at a perfect time. This aligns with a lot of the Vedanta teachers and sages who have changed my whole perspective on reality.
@@duracell5 look up “Samaneri Jayasara” on RUclips. She has tons of lectures from the masters of Vedanta. My favorites are the ones by Siddharameshwar.
ever since i was a kid. I always wondered how we could move in space... I imagined that time was split up into slices. as we went from slice to slice we go through time and space.. But i think this makes more sense.. because this means anything we experience is like a slight change in all the states we experience like temp or pressure or emotion or space or magnetism and many other things we perceive.. anything we perceive is just a fluctuation/ changes in our state... to us it looks like things move and change and it even looks like we are moving or changing..
There is no time, everything happens now, best explained its another dream and there only one dreaming it all, some call it god some call it consiousness but it just is..
1:42:00 completely agree. I don‘t understand why some insights etc. are not retrievable. They are interesting. But I am not sure about the value of those states. And yeah, I am shocked by different states. Also the ability to read, understand and shift conceptual understanding is immense. I also feel going backwards sometimes and „growth“ is a really strange concept.
Collective states are expressed in the archetypes of the unconscious, and we're seriously unconscious collectively. Meaning we can be reduced to a herd mentality guided at the level of base instinct, and that's where things can get ugly and horribly dystopian.
Very interesting. I have had some of those moments and it's impossible to forget them. As when I understood that the "nothing" was the "all" due to the lack of limits. Thanks.
@@CFChristian In reality, it's hard for me to explain. This sempsation happened to me when I was reading a book about Romanticism of XIX. This people thought the body was the prison of soul. When reading I felt as if my body disappeared due to understanding this...
@@harman9132 Of course not. I studied literature and painting. And when you are in constant contact with art, you really don't need to take drugs. Well I speak for my own experience. Of course :-)
I know exactly what you meant when you said Loose your mind. It happened to me, it’s like the cost of discovering the truth. The question I have is is it worth it? I was afraid I would never return. Not to mention I felt like I had no “control” over anything and nobody was there for me, just me.
Good shit Leo. Wow. Love this. I get it. I am a psychotherapist and this describes the basis of my own approach to relating. States of consciousness… recognizing them for what they are and separating, or differentiating and then integrating… a dance.
It's clarified lot of things to me alghtough I'm in a quite low state of consciousness right now. I've been thinking about the reality in a quite similar way last years, I described it to myself as "infinite levels of Abstractions". Thanks Leo this episode was special to me
Leo, you were one of the very first people I've followed in my journey and what people call 'awakening'. It has been 6 years since my 'start'. You give disclaimers that your audience may not understand what you are talking about, but I personally understand you very well. I resonate with you the most. Thank you for your work. I'm curious to know of your opinion on Neville Goddard's teachings. I would like to know what aspects you agree/disagree with. Could this be something you can do a video or some kind of post on?
Hi Leo, I really like everything im hearing here. I also hear you very clearly. I would recommend listening to the predictive processing episode with John vervaeke and mark Miller, this kind of resonates with what your talking about, on some degree.
It feels so natural and so good to have my mind stretched and my paradigmes opened up for a second while watch these videos I’ve been watching them for years now thank you so much I love it it’s like one of the best parts of my day
@Leo: In the "level-of-consicousness = dial" analogy, who/what is fundamentally controlling that dial? What is the natural default state of that dial? Are the practices and drugs to change that dial a "backdoor" imagined by consciousness itself so as to not get stuck in a certain state for too long?
That's the deep mystery. You can't really say what controls the dial. Practically speaking, chemicals control it. But that's only true from within the dream state.
When I was 12 years old I had the flu and had 104° temperature I was delirious but I remember thinking that there was someone somewhere being able to see here and experience what I was experiencing I am a struggling addict I have beat the heroin habit I haven't had a drink in years but my doctor prescribed me gabapentin which affects your central nervous system and in the past few months I realized that it was withdraw of the prescription that made me relive all the years of my past I went into the ER one night just sobbing and I felt so alone it felt like I was in the room by myself for hours I was feeling nothing but dread and this doctor come in and he gave me a shot of Valium and a prescription of Xanax which was a Band-Aid right now. I did experience other states of consciousness where I saw a small being that was black and had no face I've went into the kitchen one time when I was about 6 years old and saw another kid and it scared the hell out of me and one time when I was about 25 I was walking down the railroad tracks at night and saw it girl that shouldn't have been there and she also looked frightened to see me. I don't understand a lot of things but I do understand that using a substance to change your state of consciousness can have consequences I'm not talking about psychedelics or marijuana I'm talking about what I'm a pseudocle products that open up other top of mean receptors and leave you in a state of despair. That's the state and trying to get out of.
I've had high fever naked on the couch mom was wiping me with wet cloth and I went out of my body into the eyes of a demon looking at us from the staircase and then it ran at us and I woke up screaming that the devil was coming for us
The rubber ducky exists in your mind and in my mind and out side of our two minds. All we experience is the one in our own mind. So the question comes what is it really out side of our minds. Truly I agree we can’t know this with physical instruments
The vedas had perfected the concept of consciousness and it is to this day unmatchable. Clearly , there are only 4 states of consciousness : 1) waking 2) dreaming , 3) deep sleep and 4) the fourth or Turiya or pure consciousness . The drunk state or the sleepy state is a state within the waking state , where the ego is firmly in control. It also posits that the first three states come into existence from the fourth. The waking state is an experience of your outer world , the dream state is the experience of your inner world and deep sleep is the experience of absence of consciousness.Now the fourth state , go figure it out yourself .
@@quake3quake3 thank you . Consciousness is the constant. If you read again I have written that the ‘experience’ is as though consciousness is absent , because the instrument of perception or witness does not capture anything due to a sense of thoughts and objects . I think I complicated it a tad bit more :)
Leo, when a meaningful experience happens to me I can't stop thinking 'how was consciousness (that specific figment) rendered? How did I get there? What's for me to learn?' You said being awake is about remembering. Am I asking the wrong questions? How do I make sense of figments within consciousness?
@Ed thank you for this precious answer. So, what you mean in general is that "trying to make sense" of an experience is a law I might be forcing upon myself? I see. Then, I guess a more accurate question would be...how do I get to imagine these figments? It's an inquiry related to will and choice and I suspect it's closely related to the nature of this dream/imagination. I guess I won't be able to figure this out from my current state of consciousness, as Leo said. Becoming the GodHead that gets to know how to imagine It's own reality requires higher states. Is that right? So, I am making the wrong questions.
The rare and most profound teaching of Nisargadatta stands alone in stating that who we are is prior to the I Am, and even Prior to and Beyond Consciousness itself. This extraordinary statement by Nisargadatta Maharaj has the power to propel a seeker into a taste of the Absolute. This most unique pointer directs an aspirant into the Eternal Absolute, the Primordial Advaita that can only be realized when Consciousness itself is appreciated as not this, not this.
You could also say a person is given a name at birth told they are this and such person. But what you really are is the primordial energy of the universe or consciousness. So very well done
✨ Nice video Leo Please upload More Videos in different angle about Witness, Consciousness, Awareneas, Existence for every week leo please please I like your explanation.I understand your explanation in infine directions. Please upload more, more videos. I am sufferd very hard in my life. Only your videos is boostup me. Please upload more videos Leo. Thanks...
HEY LEO !! just wanna leave a comment and share with you all the great times i've learned from your videos ... im working on myself and found your youtube channel a while ago .... im really enjoying the ride along with you and your community on youtube 😄 thank you and hope your doing great 🙏
The idea of a beginning is a projection of your state of consciousness, there wasn't a beginning because consciousness is infinite. And at the same time, creation takes place everytime everywhere.
There Is No 'How' A How Is Held Within Consciousness. Consciousness Is Itself, Period,There Is No More And Nowhere To Go, And Yes You Have To Awaken To This.
its so nice to see u leo, wish u could do more videos, thanks for all the knowledge, thanks for everything. could u do more guided meditations please, god meditations......thank u.
Knowledge is structured in Consciousness. Knowledge is different in different states of Consciousness. Reality is different in different states of Consciousness.
About five years ago, I was using mild psychedelics and yogic breathing as a form of psychotherapy to help me treat my anxiety, PTSD, and other problems. Suddenly, all at once, I felt all the air go out of my mouth and my "self" with it. I shot out into, the "universe" I guess, and I went to a place with an infinite number of faces on every dimension. I lost all singular identity and realized, and felt that "I" was actually all of those people, but also a nonbeing, I was also no one. It and "I" seemed to go on forever, both everything and nothing all at once. Just as suddenly as I was pulled into that state, I shot back out of it to the "material" world, As I looked around, I knew that every single thing was fake, just an idea. I knew nothing was real, and it terrified the living shit out of me! I was shaken for weeks till I could even start to wrap my head around what I had experienced. It can be terrifying initially, but freeing ultimately. I've had many inexplicable experiences since before then and afterwards, some brought on by DMT and others seemingly at random, and all my perceptions of reality have been mostly shattered. If I explained to most any person how I perceive the world or universe around me, they would say I was insane. "Truth" be told, I don't miss "sanity" one bit. I'm much happier this way. My life has changed radically. I'm writing the books and creating the things I have always wanted to, without guilt.(was raised in an abusive religious cult and was programmed with self-hatred) My ideas about things are almost impossible to put into words, my religion is personal, but similar to that of the Gnostic, in that, I see only patterns but no real definition. I don't know if anyone can really know anything, but for me, the changes to my consciousness, no matter how bizarre or shocking, all seem to work out for me in the end. I've had dreams, visions, and an NDE, all of which have radically changed my personality. I'm much happier and worry far less, despite my past traumas and self-imposed stigmas. For me, all I have to think about these days is writing my books, leaving something behind for the other figments, then moving on to the next character in the next game. I probably didn't make any sense at all here, but that's my current paradigm. On a side note, despite experiencing something like Brahman consciousness, I've also encountered what seems like a God being three times. It cannot be described, except that it was infinitely loving, infinitely accepting, non-judgemental, encouraging, and absolutely infinite. I don't know if it made me, or is me, but what I do know is that it matches no descriptions whatsoever. I could write an entire book full of my thoughts and questions on these two subjects alone, but I digress to egress. Namaste, friends.
Thank you for sharing!
Hi, Conner. I'm glad that you successfully navigated your initiation experience. Individual experiences often share similarities. If it's of interes and comforting, I have heard similar descriptions and like responses from other males. Do you recall instructions, symbols, visuals? When experiencing alternate states it often takes me many hours of work to interpret the information received to glean the meanings and integrate the experience . Your description indicates that an energy download occurred enriching every cell in your body. Hopefully you received the message along the way to take very good care of your mind, body, and soul so that you may experience altered states safely. You can go deeper without psychedelics and to spiritual realms to receive "the fruits of the spirit." (energy frequencies) making clairvoyance etc. possible. You will continue the work eternally to master matter (self) and energy/ consciousness frequencies. Enjoy your process to peace and understanding. Focus on NOW releasing the stored dense energies from the past to enjoy greater freedom. SOAR!
@@sylviaclements1002 thank you 🙏
I've had this experience a few times but a little different. Pretty recently in fact.
Sounds amazing! Thanks for writing this!
I think a good way to increase your baseline is to LOVE EVERYTHING. I find that your thinking becomes more holistic the higher your ability to accept and love reality as it is
This can be really high maintenance for ordinary waking consciousness. Not a sustainable practice in my book.
@@matthewjoy4244 yes I agree. A lot of work is needed to get to this point. Even though this is the goal I wouldn’t recommend to a beginner. One must really learn to mix wisdom with love before you can “love everything”
I’ve seen this alone be enough
Lo intento Marcos. Al final me di cuenta que amar todo es la solución hacia la calma y estoy aprendiendo a amar todo y no dejar que el ego me autoengañe. :)
I don’t think that’s possible
That's why it's best to smile at problems, sickness, disease, worries, fears, aging and even death. It's important that we don't let our wrong perceptions fool ourselves.
What you have written presupposes freedom of volition.

It doesn't matter that you are smiling or being sad. Anything that is true for you is absolute truth. So nothing can be best or worst. It is as it is.
@@sonikwro i get what you're saying... there is a good book called "don't worry, be grumpy" ... it undermines your statement 🙂
1:06:00 This topic about the connection between sanity and "realization of the true nature of reality" is so IMPORTANT. And it really became so obvious to me, when I started practicing and actually trying to FEEL, SEE and EXPERIENCE the true nature of reality by myself (not just believing "enlightened" gurus). That made me insane.
Really to the point where i am not able to function as normal person. Everything gets deconstructed automatically now, and it's hard to "fall asleep" back to normal reality. Experience just flows, reality constantly changes. Thoughts, feelings, sounds, events, it's a constant soup, and no one to relate it to.
There is literary NOWHERE to ground the experience.
It's really such thin line between complete insanity and trying to pretend to be normal, in order to function here. The mind plays tricks, and often don't even understands whats going on.
But the mind NEVER understood it in the beginning. It only imagined so...
I basically had to take sick leave from work (even though i work remotely), I have to learn how to live with this state of consciousness. But every day is new, every experience is new. It freaks the mind SO much.
It's more authentic, more RAW, more connected. It's certainly more ALIVE, than the unconscious living. Sleeping in the illusion of "real" reality.
❗But the price for "seeing the true nature of reality" is SO FREAKING HIGH.
And now i have stopped the practice (for the time being), because I learned to appreciate the STABILITY of this realm, of what IS.
Most of the people have no freaking idea, how scary and unsettling it is for the mind to see reality fall apart - without psychedelics (after the trip you return to normal, but if it happens without the substances... you have nowhere to come back).
In this lofty , familiar, stable reality - you have parents to love, siblings, fresh air, hugs, animals, travel, life purpose, achievements and so on, there is so many beautiful experiences... This IS a very beautiful dream.
So i decided not to fully destroy it for myself (for now 😄).
P.S. I don't understand why "mainstream enlightened gurus" don't speak about it. Not everyone can handle that level of understanding. And they make it sound so easy and lofty...
Thank you for the video, Leo.🤗
Nice. I think we have to give ourselves time to integrate higher levels and learn how to deal with them eventually. We do need our masks.
You eventually integrate it into your life and it makes you more grounded
Thank u very much for your comment. It's going to help a lot of people feel less alone and less crazy..much as Leo's videos do for me. He is the only person I've found so far talking about this stuff. He really validates my experiences. This comment section is very helpful too.
how did you did that? did you use any particular substance?
I posted this question seperately but after I read your comment I think it fits here. My question was: "If consciousness wanted to dump itself down for the sake of experiencing this type of life, why would we want to mess around with that? Inevitably this experience will end so why not ride it out, as was intended?"

And its branches on earth below.

I just found and watched "nothing exists but you," re solipsism. It is by far the best and most clear explanation on solipsism I've seen.
I know solipsism is true,---i was first given glimpses of the truth of solipsism in the 1980s---thru experiences I had, not by reading about it or exposed to it in any way other than the Universe giving me tidbits of how it works---or rather MYSELF giving me hints that I am everything.
I "became" a plant in my office;; I became a cow on a field eating grass (could feel my hot breath coming out of cows nostrils)
Since this process has come about over many years(I'm 76 now) , solipsism is not weird or scary to me---it is WONDERFUL
Thank you for the amazing video, even tho I KNOW I'm thanking myself😊
Infinite concepts, with infinite sensory associations, then infinite vantage points from which to perceive those concepts, as well as infinite combinations of vantage points, And on and on and on and on and on and on it goes.
And all of that is a concept. So it is impossible to grasp it by finite language or finite mind. No matter how you describe it allways will look like chaising your own tail. Infinity is unspeakable.

It’s so crazy, sometimes you just gotta laugh
Imagine how good of a teacher Leo could be if he had one ounce of faith in his audience's ability to understand what he was trying to communicate.
I know right like dawg ive taken the same drugs you have and ive read a lot of the same books you have i dont need you to talk to me like im three years old and havent one ounce of experience on the things your talking about lol give me something real like how to be less selfish dont try and wow me with your implied superior intelligence
I'm think he does a great job communicating his ideas. He's very clear and thorough.
@@joeleonard5345 agreed, and it's just a fraction of his potential. His lack of faith in the listener forces him to communicate very clearly, but it also allows a fair amount of judgement and derision to creep into his material.
I use such moments to recognize that Leo is human too, but I have had to walk away from some videos because I felt like he spent too much time mocking and negging the viewer.
@@TrismegistusMx I understand what you're saying but I don't see it that way personally. I see it as him just setting up how he responds to a person who is criticizing his view, which in my opinion is helpful because you get push back when trying to articulate these things to people who haven't heard these ideas. And assuming that the person you're talking to doesn't know anything about the topic you're speaking about is a good way to be sure you're argument is airtight in my opinion. I am a fan of his teaching style, it's very different than most spiritual teachers. He doesn't sugar coat anything or dance around difficult subjects. Like I said, I see what you mean and don't always agree with every single thing, but his teachings have helped me so much. He is huge on not taking his word and giving you things to contemplate and methods to independently verify all of his claims. Great stuff!
You have good point🤷🏾♂️
All I needed was mild tripping and Leo to get pretty damn far, but I am talking years of mild tripping and absorbing, I am not fully enlightened but the sheer amount of videos available on this channel is the closest thing to directly transmitting the real truth… You must dive in and do the tough work yourself but having this channel as a guide is a game changer for the planet, the value here is immense. I have even dared to open my own online store thanks to Leo. I was always the shy artist sitting in the back, the loser playing videos games. I know I am not the only one that Leo has transformed. This channel is a Godsend.

I do have to say: Leo is probably one of the most beautiful figments of consciousness I have dreamt up ;)
Significant and influential
Completamente❤
Leo I really appreciate you continuing to teach even though you realize that it is only I. Thank you for teaching yourself/myself. It is truly appreciated
Leo this was one of your best videos yet. Absolutely blew my mind.
One tricky distinction is between mind and consciousness. I simplify it by defining consciousness as an on/off state of being aware as a self. And mind can be defined as the foundation of reality, including the content in consciousness, and that can be different levels of experience. Leo's explanation of figments of consciousness I think is brilliant with the hierarchy of figments. And with my definition, mind can be seen as the totality of figments of consciousness. For example a molecule is a figment of consciousness made of atoms which are other figments of consciousness (also notice that the molecule is its own figment of consciousness which cannot be reduced to just atoms, so it's not like a material hierarchy). It's all mind structured as figments of consciousness which are all the 'stuff' there is in reality! Why do I need to call it mind instead of consciousness? Because I see consciousness as being off in deep dreamless sleep and on in the waking and dream states etc. Mind is always 'on' so to speak in my definition. Edit: A better term is perhaps what Leo used from 1:15:20 and to call it Mind (with capital M) to mean the totality of reality and mind to mean the individual mind.
Ur wrong. He literally said there is no foundation. There is no hierarchy of figment. 1 figment. That’s it. Rewatch if ur having issues…
@@Sbrjo From around 24:00 Leo talks about compositions of figments of consciousness. He also mentioned hierarchy somewhere but I don't know exactly where in the video.
@@Anders01 what I gathered from it was, yes, it is compositions of figments, but those figments are all even. No figment is more important than the other, hence no hierarchy. Just one figment broken into different figments that are equally important to the development of said figment. Similar to if it weren’t for that one thing/things that thing wouldn’t be here or if a mirror breaks, it turns to glass, which turns to sand, nd so forth. Sand is just a important to ur reflection as a mirror is. U know what I’m sayin? Lol
@@Sbrjo True, all figments of consciousness can be seen as on the same level. I think Leo even said that. So it's not like some mechanical building blocks.
@@Anders01 that’s my point... U completely edited ur original comment so I can’t nit-pick, but ur welcome for the knowledge.
On LSD I fully understood the interconnectedness of reality and how nothing exists outside of consciousness. I physically saw consciousness as this flowing blanket of time and space. It was beautiful but also terrifying. It felt as if I uncovered something that wasn’t suppose to be known. Almost as if I prematurely woke up from a dream. I thought I wouldn’t be able to live my life normally again. Thankfully I didn’t stay in that state for more than a couple days.
U felt others ?
Leo is basically saying what is at the core of ever spiritual philosophy. But like he says everyone is getting it backward. It can be summed up as this.
“We are not bodies endowed with consciousness, we are consciousness to which a body appears. “
You can take this further as follows.. “we are not in a world, the world is in us”
Now, live this Truth. Live like consciousness, this is your true identity. There is no matter, there is no ‘there’, there is not future or opast, There are no separate humans, there are no people,there is only unity, one thing here, that is consciousness, that is you.
Leo is absolutely right about having to lose your sanity in order to grasp what consciousness really is. I used to be an atheist and materialist until I had my first manic episode. These videos would make no sense to me if I hadn't had that episode and the ones that followed.
if youre not an atheist and a scientific-materialist now, what are you?
The whole reason you had a manic episode is because you weren’t aware of god
I’ve lost my sanity a few times. Definitely an experience.
God is the Most Great, God is the Most Great, there is no god but God, there is no god but God!
The materialist atheist is insane, totally deluded and lost in darkness. The atheist is the most deluded and ignorant of all existing beings.
"By your Lord's Grace; you are not inflicted by madness, but soon you will see, and they too will see, who is inflicted with madness!"
2:47 - "all physical objects exist within consciousness and they are part of whatever state of consciousness you're in"
"so no matter what is happening, no matter what you are experiencing, whether you are alive or not alive - you're in some state of consciousness, always. that's the fundamental rule"
Really deep words, they are pointing at turquoise, coral or even teel level of concepts.
“Eternity exists, and all things in eternity, independent or creation; which was an act of mercy.
By this, you see that I do not consider either the just nor the wicked to be in a SUPREME STATE, but to be every state into which the soul may fall, in it’s deadly dreams of good and evil; when it leaves paradise following the serpent”
-William Blake
lovely:)
The concept of «state of consciousness» sounds very similar to the work of dr. Hawkins on level of consciousness, except the difference between figments of reality and emotions/frequency. It also synthesizes nice with the concept of holons and holistic thinking, rather than analyzing shit to pieces.
I also appreciate the knowledge you share around accessing higher insights, which requires elevated states, and the different nuances that comes with that, like not being able to read a book.
I’ve been on a spiritual journey for 2 years now, starting with your series on spiral dynamics. Every day I learn how much I don’t understand, which is cool.
Good vibes to you my dude
I just want to say how much I love you, Like man you are mad genius, nobody explains this stuff better
Leo, I can't tell you how many times you saved my life! You always come out with a video at exactly the time that I need it most! I've been struggling lately so thank you for the Kick In The Head to wake me up again!
I really appreciate this episode, Leo, although I'm only 18 minutes through. What you are describing as figments of consciousness I have been referring to as 'energetic signatures', each of which has its own distinct way of is-ness, although they are all made out of the same thing. No one would ever get me, and now I feel as if someone has.
Nice
how did you did that? did you use any particular substance?
@@harman9132 Hi Arman. I am not sure if your question is for me or Leo, but in case it's for me, I will share my experience.
No, I did not use a substance. When I was a kid, I noticed that everything had a specific feeling to it: winter, a post-soviet interior, a woman selling candles at an orthodox church. It struck me that each of those feelings came as a 'packaged whole' having a distinct 'signature' to it. The same applied to people: I cannot tell apart faces (to me, all people look the same), but somehow I could register that people's 'signatures' were different, and sometimes they nested each other and/or overlapped. When I started doing spiritual work, I quickly grasped that feeling is all there is to everything and that it is made of consciousness. For that, I used Leo's guided self-inquiry and Peter Ralston's consciousness work.
Thank you for sharing your experience here. I can find this relatable, as I have had an experience that sounds somewhat familiar. About five years ago, I was using mild psychedelics and yogic breathing as a form of psychotherapy to help me treat my anxiety, PTSD, and other problems.

It can be terrifying initially, but freeing ultimately. It IS indeed a very beautiful dream!
Beautifully expressed my friend!
26:20 this is so profound to me! It seems like reality is the exact opposite and reverse of what we’ve been told. Like how we were told consciousness comes from matter, not the other way. And how we were told it’s built from the ground up, not the top down. It’s nuts! We’ve been believing the complete opposite of what’s actually true our whole lives! Amazing. Thank you Leo for this video and your profound insights. Looking forward to more 💫

I don't know what you've been told, but as far as I'm aware, there's not even a universally agreed definition of what consciousness is, let alone where it comes from
@@mooseratt implicitly or explicitly we have all basically been taught the materialistic paradigm that consciousness comes from matter, and that matter is the most fundamental thing in reality. But of course it’s the opposite. That’s what I meant
@@pursuitofspirit yeah I understood what you're saying. What I'm saying that isn't true, because we haven't been taught implicitly or explicitly that consciousness comes from matter.
@@mooseratt if you grew up in the US they did 😆 did you ever go to science class? Biological life comes from complex matter. That’s what we were taught since day 1.
Love to All, Light to all, Peace to All 🙏
Thank you much for saying this Leo: for years I had no one to share my experience of beyond barrier of social reality, where I was desperate to find a point of reference like the radio, the outside, people. Nothing no thing would confirm my state of being since all came from me, I was the only source of knowing.The absence of other was a vast limitless fear, and the unknown to say the least.
Leo I have to say this is hands down my favorite episode from you. Thank you
What did you like so much about it?
Psychic abilities are accessible through awareness. The clairs are deep clarity & clear intuition, easier for some- like empaths. Clairvoyance is “clear seeing”. Practice seeing (or any clair) the same way you practice everything; with heart, repetition & focus. Example: if you lose something, see if you can see it/ find it in your minds eye.
Siddhis are... toys in the process of the journey, but not the main thing. They belong to the material dimension.
👍💯
Class is in session, rather learn this, watch Leo than wasting my youth away in going to school that we learn things that we don't even use in adult life like 95% of the useless things we learned from school.
Fax!
still got to participate in the rat race though enlightenment wont pay the bills
right, you need conform some standard from society to keep survive
Enough time for both. Don't underestimate the value a strict daily schedule like school gives you.
Win at school before you win freedom and enlightenment.
@vynce I agree. School helps to develope self discipline and problem solving consciousness. A preparation for life and I am 40 and still use some of what I learned at school. Of course an advanced version of them but it was Good for the start. But I used to think school was useless when I was a student too.
Leo, you're one of the greatest men who ever lived. The world will not forget about you.
@yok of course
Maybe i wouldn’t say one of the greatest, i actually wouldn’t say that about anyone….But so many people underappreciate what is going on here and simply just don’t see the immense value that’s been given through his videos.
Leo thank you for all that you do, I appreciate you, peace.
It's true what you say, we can not be teaching something we still have to find out for ourselves.
Leo, last night I did my 2nd shamanic breathing exercise and I had a magical experience beyond my prior understandings of consciousness and mental health and intelligence and much much more. I would love the opportunity to share that with you, it runs in line with this video as well. Great timing as people say here... I've got an interesting idea that the process of bringing your higher and lower selves together creates the pull to lift your conscienceness baselines... So if you want, please reach out ✌️🍄
The Indian sage Yogananda said once: "a saint is a sinner who never gives up"...and that's it, in this long lasting life journay into spirituality. Personally, I like to see this trip as the voyage of one's heart towards Home, the only Place where naturally anyone always wants to come back...F.
Excellent work. Several points are pretty relatable. Thanks for sharing such quality content for free.
I have been listening to many pod cast on self development . I find Leo explains it the best , he gives you examples and exercise to follow . The others seem to talk a lot sometimes off track and always about themselves.
This is just ridiculous. Absolutely invaluable information. I always think I understand and every video it just goes deeper. Can’t thank you enough!
Amazing video as always Leo. I feel so fortunate for being your student, I feel like you might be one of the few people in the planet that is serious about testing and studying conciousness and I feel blessed for finding you. I’m doing this work with you, and I’m building this plane with you, because as you said, Infinite Conciousness is we could say “the baseline” but embodying wisdom and intellingence is what I’m struggling with too. I can access to a higher state of conciousness after doing yoga, because my body is relaxed and I can access Source DIRECTLY, and everyday I find new things and new realizations. I guess enyoing the path of discovery is what brought real fullfillment for me. Let’s love the proces of discovery, at the end, I think this is what God loves, discovering itself. 😘
Cheers! :)
I loved the video. Feels like we're evolving together, Leo. The ending was the best part. Thank you.
Advaita Vedanta‘s take on states is:
All states of mind appear within unchanging consciousness.
Consciousness is no state since it doesn’t have a beginning or end. It is ever unchanging and unmoving.
Consciousness is non dual reality.
Consciousness is without separation to any state. There is zero distance between your state of mind and consciousness.
Your mind can learn to know what consciousness is. Consciousness is nothing you can reach. Why? Because you are already consciousness, right here, right now.
Thank you!
Consciousness = States
@@dcktater7847 buddha defined enlightenment as ' the end of suffering', why ? because how can something that doesn't exist in the first place suffer, you was never born nor you'll die, you are eternal consciousness, your human idea of 'you' is a constant thought in your mind, it's imaginary, you are imagining yourself
the illusion of 'maya' is very strong at convicing you otherwise, even giving you a fleshy form, but once you become lucid in this dream, suddenly you're like AAAAAAAAAAAH , AAAAAAAAAAAAAH i see, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
this 'becoming lucid' is an experience, they named it satori, enlightenment, awakening, samadhi, and many many names in all cultures, that's what you should look for
@@dcktater7847 Easy. It is actually very practical.
Suffering is a state of mind.
If you don’t know what consciousness is, then you easily mistake yourself with your mind.
This creates more suffering and reactions that aren’t based on freedom, peace and happiness.
Consciousness is whole, complete and full, unchanging, unmoving, ever without properties, all-permiating, actionless, without fear, without thought and fully ordinary and absolutely normal. It is pure love. It is you.
Consciousness is the ever free subject and no object.
When we make ourself into objects then we forgot our identity with consciousness and believe we are the ego mind.
Since consciousness is free it doesn’t matter to it whether your mind is suffering. Remember suffering is a changing state of mind. And consciousness is the unchanging witness of all there is.
@@dcktater7847 go smoke 5-meo-dmt that's all i'm gonna say
Keep the good stuff coming Leo!
Great episode dear Leo. Good to hear you still trying to advance your consciousness. Keep sharing your wisdom.
Congratulations Leo. 🌟 Consciousness revelations occur naturally as you reach for deeper Truths and relax into new energies. This process is eternal as the universe expands and creates new frequencies to welcome , master and learn how to use. Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey in an honest, responsible manner, showing the way with dedication and commitment. The journey does not get easier but it does become more meaningful and enlightened with more spiritual gifts, plus increasing grace, peace and love. Understanding Consciousness with all it's promises is exhilarating and preparatory for your next ✨️ unending universal experience. GO LEO. Thank you for sharing and teaching others how to access the keys to the kingdom. You are an inspirational wayshower. I hope many will follow your example. (I am 84 and using Consciousness to create my next physical life.) I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.
Can you have an awakening with do nothing meditation?
Yes, Amras, if you are authentically prepared for awakening in mind, body, and spirit and surrender to deep relaxation "do nothing meditation" will work for you. Something is always happening. Recommend patience, belief , and daily earnest meditations (deep relaxation) of 3 to 4 hours. Awakening can occur spontaneously through heightened reverential states prompted by heartfelt reactions to nature, music, dance, entering the zone during sport activity and love or strong desire to aid another. Awakening must be established in each incarnation. Authentic purity of heart, mind and body, truth seeking, Gratitude, forgiveness, right or balanced conscienousness, trust, absence of fear, longing, desire for power over others, etc. (see list of virtues online). Awakening can occur quickly by surrendering to the body's true natural state allowing it to balance electrically which generates a specific frequency in a range compatible with source energy. Energy balance ia natural in both the body and the body's energy and the energy field of consciousness (Self) and may be achieved daily to ensure the universal life gifts we seek. Meditation is my current personal preferred choice of available tools. Awakening is not a choice. It is necessary to eternal evolution. Leo's videos can help prepare you daily for your meditation exercise. Faith, practice, right thinking, Love. Awakening is your birthright. You are already awake and practicing how to BE.
@@sylviaclements1002 i have a question can u help
@@Messi10forever...... What is your question 🤔Amandika?
Yes, Amandika you are free "to BE " as you decide. If you choose to continue to evolve and expand with the universe then you will choose to accept and embody those expansive new energies, frequencies, and consciousnesses as they appear in the universe and experience and interpret them in accordance with your understanding, participation and creativity. You are a creator. It is what you do. There are no material promises in energy. Energies are available to you as elements of possiblity. We must use them to create what we wish to see in the world. Surrender to the universe with an open heart and the energies / consciousness will guide you. You can listen and cooperate or turn a deaf spiritual ear and suffer the consequences. Everything you will ever need is here now within and without. The task is yours to accept or decline ," to continue to BE or not to BE.....that IS the question."
Leo, this is by far the best video you've made. Extremely lucid. Very well explained. Can't wait to see it in the textbooks for posterity
This was my favourite episode from you so far, especially what you said at the end. I needed to hear all this at this point in my life. I’ve always drifted back into watching you at various points in my life and I’m now excited to start watching you again
1:07:29
This is so true. I wish I could go back. Motivation is rly hard. Nietzsche comes to mind when talking about someone losing his mind
47:35 when you realise there was no "time before you were born". In fact, there was no time at all, ever. All there is, is an eternal "Now" moment, experienced again, and again, and again, by consciousness, forever. There was no "yesterday" in your life, you never woke up this morning, you never opened your phone and pressed "start" on this video. You're imagining it all. Right. Now.
It’s working out as it was all designed in a way, infinite love for life equals happier lifestyle. Living my ultimate truth to the max! 🙏🙌 thanks Leo it’s been a long 12+ year journey on & off, but now I’m really living my true state of being passionately & always staying aware of all forms of energy as much as possible!
The rare and most profound teachings of Nisargadatta stands alone in stating that who we are is prior to the I Am, and even Prior to and Beyond Consciousness itself. This extraordinary statement by Nisargadatta Maharaj has the power to propel a seeker into a taste of the Absolute. This most unique pointer directs an aspirant into the Eternal Absolute, the Primordial Advaita that can only be realized when Consciousness itself is appreciated as not this, not this.
Random theory: if consciousness is aware of consciousness, it could be conscious enough to not want to be found, therefore consciously breaking itself down into smaller nd smaller figments. Halfway through, nd u gotta realize don’t look to deep into things, accept it for what it is, and adapt to what u want as ur figment of consciousness.
Thanks for your content you’re putting out here Leo. To be honest, I’ve sort of out grown your content mostly but every now and again something will grip me and pull me back in. Your stuff and your booklist introduced me to people like Ken Wilber and I highly appreciate that. This channel also introduced me to 5-Meo which I’ve now had the privilege of experiencing on several occasions. Continue raising the collective consciousness Leo. Truly doing God’s work 🙂.
Lastly, I feel like intelligence is infinite to what u have experienced (street smart/book smart). U can go out an experience new things to expand ur intelligence, but to make assumptions on subjects unknown is dumb. Too expand intelligence/consciousness u have to be interested in what u are learning, and be able to comprehend. Like u said this is a theme of things coming full circle. It’s so obvious what intelligence is thats it’s unheard of…
Thanks Leo, this was one of the best videos you've made to date! This helped me very much so I want to express my gratitude. I'm so lucky because my brother happens to be one of my greatest friends and we are both on a spiritual journey together. So it really helps to have someone to talk to about this stuff and not feel isolated or plain crazy. But I'm always sending him your videos and it's helping so much, so thank you 🙏. Keep up the great work Leo, it's making a huge difference in our lives! ❤️
I 100 percent understand the not able to read a book or talk to people. I went to a level where I was able to see multiple outcomes after my actions and from my view it looked like I really took both took the actions, but would remember that I did not and could not see which one I actually took in the quote “real world”. It’s like if someone told me “take out the trash” from my view I saw all possibilities and responses at once so my response would be “I already told you I took it out”, “I’ll take it out later”, or “why are you so mad? I I’ll take it out in min” not to mention I was able to see the possible responses that another person could give, while at the same time seeing it as them already given the responses. Now to a person with low consciousness would see me as having sort of a schizophrenic episode because to them it would look like I was randomly talking and unfocused. But to me I was trying to respond to all seen possibilities unable to determine which one actually happened in the real world. Changed my whole view on schizophrenia honestly.
This is super interesting. Appreciate you sharing!
What is the end goal of spiritual development really? Whatever you end up with you have to give it up in the end. Is it enough to love your life here and now?
Absolutely amazing content, nowhere else to be found. Thanks you bro
Thank you for a new upload Leo!
The bit between wakefulness and sleep is my favourite state. Its the most trippy. I wish we could be in that state permenantly
Most insightful video yet and came at a perfect time. This aligns with a lot of the Vedanta teachers and sages who have changed my whole perspective on reality.
Same here. Are there any good RUclips videos on Vedanta that you know of?
@@duracell5 look up “Samaneri Jayasara” on RUclips. She has tons of lectures from the masters of Vedanta. My favorites are the ones by Siddharameshwar.
@@myselfasevan Thanks. Swami Sarvapriyananda is a great Vedanta scholar whom I started listening to a few years ago.
@@duracell5 The Vedanta Society of New York. Simply Always Awake.
@@duracell5 Yes, I concur. Swami is on the Vendanta Society of New York.
Thanks for beeing so honest
ever since i was a kid. I always wondered how we could move in space... I imagined that time was split up into slices. as we went from slice to slice we go through time and space.. But i think this makes more sense.. because this means anything we experience is like a slight change in all the states we experience like temp or pressure or emotion or space or magnetism and many other things we perceive.. anything we perceive is just a fluctuation/ changes in our state... to us it looks like things move and change and it even looks like we are moving or changing..
There is no time, everything happens now, best explained its another dream and there only one dreaming it all, some call it god some call it consiousness but it just is..
1:42:00 completely agree. I don‘t understand why some insights etc. are not retrievable. They are interesting. But I am not sure about the value of those states.
And yeah, I am shocked by different states. Also the ability to read, understand and shift conceptual understanding is immense. I also feel going backwards sometimes and „growth“ is a really strange concept.
Collective states are expressed in the archetypes of the unconscious, and we're seriously unconscious collectively. Meaning we can be reduced to a herd mentality guided at the level of base instinct, and that's where things can get ugly and horribly dystopian.
This video on the very core of reality is everything!🧡
Very interesting. I have had some of those moments and it's impossible to forget them. As when I understood that the "nothing" was the "all" due to the lack of limits. Thanks.
Could you elaborate on this?
@@jeromemayer7364 Secondeded... I feel I've experienced something similar in that I felt my room and my "insides" were one and the same.
@@CFChristian In reality, it's hard for me to explain. This sempsation happened to me when I was reading a book about Romanticism of XIX. This people thought the body was the prison of soul. When reading I felt as if my body disappeared due to understanding this...
how did you did that? did you use any particular substance?
@@harman9132 Of course not. I studied literature and painting. And when you are in constant contact with art, you really don't need to take drugs. Well I speak for my own experience. Of course :-)
I know exactly what you meant when you said Loose your mind. It happened to me, it’s like the cost of discovering the truth. The question I have is is it worth it? I was afraid I would never return. Not to mention I felt like I had no “control” over anything and nobody was there for me, just me.
The candid manner in which you spoke at the end of the video should happen at the beginning of your videos
Good shit Leo. Wow. Love this. I get it. I am a psychotherapist and this describes the basis of my own approach to relating. States of consciousness… recognizing them for what they are and separating, or differentiating and then integrating… a dance.
sending love. i love so much when you laugh definitely my kind of humor
It's clarified lot of things to me alghtough I'm in a quite low state of consciousness right now. I've been thinking about the reality in a quite similar way last years, I described it to myself as "infinite levels of Abstractions". Thanks Leo this episode was special to me
Sponsored by Snickers®
Beautifully wrapped up at the end. Thank you Leo.
we need to find this switch key that leads us from forgetfulness to remembrance, which's what i think spirituality is about.
It's called DMT ;)
the fact that people think Leo is crazy for saying these things, demonstrates the state of consciousness humanity is at! lol
Leo, you were one of the very first people I've followed in my journey and what people call 'awakening'. It has been 6 years since my 'start'. You give disclaimers that your audience may not understand what you are talking about, but I personally understand you very well. I resonate with you the most. Thank you for your work.
I'm curious to know of your opinion on Neville Goddard's teachings. I would like to know what aspects you agree/disagree with. Could this be something you can do a video or some kind of post on?
i would also love this
I haven't studied his teachings in depth. But from what I have heard it's spot on.
The truth is so refreshing. Thanks
Hi Leo, I really like everything im hearing here. I also hear you very clearly. I would recommend listening to the predictive processing episode with John vervaeke and mark Miller, this kind of resonates with what your talking about, on some degree.
It feels so natural and so good to have my mind stretched and my paradigmes opened up for a second while watch these videos I’ve been watching them for years now thank you so much I love it it’s like one of the best parts of my day
@Leo: In the "level-of-consicousness = dial" analogy, who/what is fundamentally controlling that dial? What is the natural default state of that dial? Are the practices and drugs to change that dial a "backdoor" imagined by consciousness itself so as to not get stuck in a certain state for too long?
That's the deep mystery. You can't really say what controls the dial. Practically speaking, chemicals control it. But that's only true from within the dream state.
This was amazing, thank you! This answered a lot of questions I've had for a long time and will really push my contemplations forward!
A figment of consciousness is also a figment of consciousness.
Welcome back dear teacher! So happy to see you again man!😀😀
When I was 12 years old I had the flu and had 104° temperature I was delirious but I remember thinking that there was someone somewhere being able to see here and experience what I was experiencing I am a struggling addict I have beat the heroin habit I haven't had a drink in years but my doctor prescribed me gabapentin which affects your central nervous system and in the past few months I realized that it was withdraw of the prescription that made me relive all the years of my past I went into the ER one night just sobbing and I felt so alone it felt like I was in the room by myself for hours I was feeling nothing but dread and this doctor come in and he gave me a shot of Valium and a prescription of Xanax which was a Band-Aid right now.
I did experience other states of consciousness where I saw a small being that was black and had no face I've went into the kitchen one time when I was about 6 years old and saw another kid and it scared the hell out of me and one time when I was about 25 I was walking down the railroad tracks at night and saw it girl that shouldn't have been there and she also looked frightened to see me. I don't understand a lot of things but I do understand that using a substance to change your state of consciousness can have consequences I'm not talking about psychedelics or marijuana I'm talking about what I'm a pseudocle products that open up other top of mean receptors and leave you in a state of despair. That's the state and trying to get out of.
I've had high fever naked on the couch mom was wiping me with wet cloth and I went out of my body into the eyes of a demon looking at us from the staircase and then it ran at us and I woke up screaming that the devil was coming for us
@@chrisballer2672 😲 wow
The rubber ducky exists in your mind and in my mind and out side of our two minds. All we experience is the one in our own mind.
So the question comes what is it really out side of our minds. Truly I agree we can’t know this with physical instruments
The vedas had perfected the concept of consciousness and it is to this day unmatchable. Clearly , there are only 4 states of consciousness : 1) waking 2) dreaming , 3) deep sleep and 4) the fourth or Turiya or pure consciousness . The drunk state or the sleepy state is a state within the waking state , where the ego is firmly in control.
It also posits that the first three states come into existence from the fourth. The waking state is an experience of your outer world , the dream state is the experience of your inner world and deep sleep is the experience of absence of consciousness.Now the fourth state , go figure it out yourself .
Namaste,
The deep sleep state isn't a state absent of consciousness, it's absent of thoughts/objects.
@@quake3quake3 thank you . Consciousness is the constant. If you read again I have written that the ‘experience’ is as though consciousness is absent , because the instrument of perception or witness does not capture anything due to a sense of thoughts and objects . I think I complicated it a tad bit more :)
Absence* of thoughts
You really are saving lives Leo
Only real legends are Here watching this............
True
1:10:00 - One question. If i was able to get through the wall or flor, how can they lock me in the room?
By convincing you the room is real ;)
People already be criticizing after the video wasn't even up for 20 minutes yet, damn, I wish I was able to watch at 7 x speed too
Leo, when a meaningful experience happens to me I can't stop thinking 'how was consciousness (that specific figment) rendered? How did I get there? What's for me to learn?' You said being awake is about remembering. Am I asking the wrong questions? How do I make sense of figments within consciousness?
@Ed thank you for this precious answer. So, what you mean in general is that "trying to make sense" of an experience is a law I might be forcing upon myself? I see. Then, I guess a more accurate question would be...how do I get to imagine these figments? It's an inquiry related to will and choice and I suspect it's closely related to the nature of this dream/imagination. I guess I won't be able to figure this out from my current state of consciousness, as Leo said. Becoming the GodHead that gets to know how to imagine It's own reality requires higher states. Is that right? So, I am making the wrong questions.

What I don't understand is that "How is consciousness possible?" How did it manifest itself into existence? What created consciousness?
The great mystery😜
@@dcktater7847 deeeep
The idea of a beginning is a projection of your state of consciousness, there wasn't a beginning because consciousness is infinite. And at the same time, creation takes place everytime everywhere.
There Is No 'How' A How Is Held Within Consciousness.
Consciousness Is Itself, Period,There Is No More And Nowhere To Go, And Yes You Have To Awaken To This.
