I’ve changed my ways entirely thanks to your teachings , Leo . I started listening to you in 2017 and never looked back . I listen over and over and new pathways and AHA moments come to my mind ....
Thank you ever so much for sharing and helping me ... I was raised in a very traumatic life and had zero guidance growing up , leaving me to make decisions from what I knew , which wasn’t much . Thank you so much 😊
My pleasure

1:47:35 "That's why this interpretation is more powerful, or more robust we might say, because an interpretation that can hold and integrate other perspectives is the higher perspective. That's how you distinguish higher from lower perspectives. A higher perspective doesn't demonize and exclude the lower perspectives . Whereas the lower perspectives do."
Wow Leo! 3 hours! I will sit an knit a whole vest while I listen to this video till the end. Great program for this cold Sunday. Hugs feom Argentina and thanks for your wisdom and generosity. God (I) bless ya!!

Buddy the illuminated sage is here no stress
This reminds me of an old video: How your mind distorts reality: needy vs non-needy. I assume it will be built and expanded on that. Cant wait!
One great technique is to give names to the ways by which you interpret reality, these are some common ones:
01)-The comfortable guy: what you value the most in this way of thinking is Comfort & Security in the NOW above everything else. this way of thinking seeks to maximize comfort in the short term.
02)-The Warrior: Looks at every situation in life as an opportunity to overcome his fears, he suffered a lot of fear in the past, and now he is declaring war against his old self, but he doesn't know that the war is endless. he tries to prove his worth to himself by facing his fears, and when accomplishes something he feel a sense of pride about that, and then he goes to chase more goals.
03)- The Explorer: looks at everything in life as if he's looking at it for the first time, he's curious about everything, he doesn't believe in anything, because he knows that beliefs blocks his ability to explore life.
I totally am the warrior. Jesus.
@@PokeBurst100 I believe these sub-personalities are ingrained in all of us (with different degrees), i think adopting the warrior's mentality is the key to success in material life, and adopting the explorer mentality is the key for learning, self-reflection & spiritual growth. the comfortable guy is basically our monkey mind which we all have.
the most important advice i can give is to NOT JUDGE any of these ways of thinking, because every perspective holds a degree of truth in it.
what i recommend also is that you keep your warrior mentality, but also introduce more of the explorer way of thinking to your life, be curious about what motivates the cycle of chasing success, it could be something you've experienced in your childhood, try explorining yourself as if you don't know anything about it, let go of all the beliefs you hold about yourself for a second, let go of the confusion as well, and Explore!
Google "archetype" and study Jung and what else comes up
Please make a video on the practical implications of absolute Truth
Before enlightment - carry water, chop wood, after enlightment - carry water, chop wood. That is the only practical advice regarding the subject. You are welcome!
And I bet, you already know it!
crucifixion
agreed
The one who has realized himself as God has already experienced the implications within himself. The material world doesn't matter, other people don't matter, and doing or having things in it doesn't matter. The Awoke one who choops wood and carries water may look ordinary to you, but within he has the greatest knowledge and kingdom.
The mind which holds the memory of the experience "I am God" has the power to deconstruct an entire worldview and construct a new one, which aligns more to the Truth.
Deconstruct, again and again and again. God, you, must be the core thing in your mind, body and spirit.
And may the mind rest in this knowledge.
I feel like I've been waiting for this episode from you for years leo. Thank you
It helps to physically and viscerally feel the subtle energetic emotional fluctuations in your body and psyche as you are exploring the interpretations you are wearing at any time and considering the possibility of another interpretation. You can viscerally sense your own bias as you do this, physically, if you know how to do effective contemplation. Effective contemplation should have a meditative aspect to it. It likes you are exploring a dark cave, carefully and immersed attention.
Thank you Leo. No one is doing quite what you are doing how you can do it. Stellar performance.

Sandy from SpongeBob is a Materialist, that's why she hates Squidward, he is a phylosopher and a mystic.
He says such things almost about his every episode. "THIS EPISODE IS EXTREMELY FOUNDATIONAL. THIS IS A VERY ADVANCED TOPIC". And so on. Then proceeds to delve into saying something he has already said a 1000 times.
Me: Crap. I'm already old. I'll never make it.
Best way to spend my Saturday night!
Me watching Leo, eating a snack on a Saturday at 9:48p 😂
Saturday night too here lel
My interpretation is this is truly profound. Its amazing to me to see how the deeper you go the way your mind can hide you "selfishness" in more nuanced ways.
I'm always amaze how much value these teachings have - this is the gold mine of wisdom.
I love when you say it will take ten years to understand the impact of an episode that feels Tailor made for where I feel I am. Thank you again. Your work has been the driving force of my late thirties on.
Leo, this is your best video yet. There was a massive jump in your teaching style here that you should know about for future videos.
I know the video wasn't about extrapolating which interpretation was true; rather it was about developing the ability to go meta and see multi-perspectival interpretations, etc., BUT by impartially presenting equally valid multi-perspectival interpretations, non-dogmatically, you actually opened my mind to A LOT of interpretations I haven't considered before. You taught in an extremely mature way that made a massive difference in my ability to consider things outside of my development/consciousness/worldview/ and ultimately integrate your teachings.
Going meta on the video -- ;) -- on can extrapolate a lot out of this video on how to teach extremely effectively! Great stuff.
Thanks for the feedback
Yes I agree. Sometimes Leo can come across as quite condescending, which makes it harder to hear his message.
This was presented in a very balanced, open minded style
Leo,
I have watched almost every single video of yours. I already watched this one; after two years I am watching it again today. I am ready to understand it in a brand new way.
I basically started listening to your older audios again. I interpret things differently now. I have realized that I forgot some things. I can’t believe that I felt back asleep and forgot about this wisdom so fast.
after watching Leo's videos for over a year, I have become a better person, more patient, more flexible, happier too. I like who I am becoming
just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make such a long video. much appreciated
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH REALITY IS THE RESULT OF A CLOSED LOOP OF:
PERCEPTION
UNDERSTANDING
INTERPRETATION
Haven't watched actualized in while, he's talking faster now, I appreciate that
And yet the videos are twice as long lmao. So great
Even the "truly insane"understand stuff that others don't understand.
Ever wondered why mentally ill people feel so helpless, misunderstood and lonely?
🏆🏆🏆
The consciousness is increasing exponentially. Looking forward to next year when the videos become 10 hours long.
half expecting like a bollywood movie leo to break out in a song. :)
Edit: I take this comment back, don't read this. Read the one I wrote below if you want. I'm leaving this one for reference so the other makes sense.
Old comment: It still frustrates me that I can't forget what was drummed into my head before I discovered Leo. That the mind is no friend, thoughts and concepts are meaningless and a hindrance, the mind is overactive and needs to be subdued, stop thinking stop talking and be still. And then you gotta watch three hour videos of someone vomiting pure fucking concept in your mouth. I was hooked by the videos which were essentially trip reports. That revived in me a new found vigour in what is a very difficult endeavour with unlikely chances of success. But can't listen to this brainwashing anymore. I love the guy but I'm not compatible with this.
But maybe I'm completely wrong.
There are 112 ways put forth by Shiva to realize. 11 of them are concerned with proof of the fact which as far as I understand are mind and thinking related. And 7 seem to be concerned with imagining or will of thought.
However when I read them i feel a great strain from years of listening and reading, including videos like Leo's. And I was always a very heavily conceptual thinking person, still am. I was practically born like that. Or was I.
We assume that we are all intellectuals, mind athletes and conceptual power houses but that's an illusion created by the fact that we live in an exceedingly idiosyncratic period in human history where literally everyone is toying with knowledge, ideas, philosophies and politics. Everyone including there grandmother has some personal philosophy about something. That wasn't always the case. This gives us the impression we were geard up to be a philosophical species which has no evolutionary precedent nor is it true in any way at all. Hence why we are generally wholey inadequate to be consistent logically sound thinkers. I'm probably failing at it as I speak. And it all is traced to our evolutionary history. Not hard to figure out. We are NOT a philosophy species.
Reading the 112 ways of Shiva, which is meant to be an exhaustive list and Im quite surprised it hasn't been consumed by this channel at all, Leo would make a feast out of it and I would enjoy. There were some things on there that made me smile with excitement because they were things I had discovered on my own and could feel there was something there but never sure if I was making progress. A good few. I'm sure any long term loose seeker would find something similar when going through the list. But when you get to the 11 and 7 ways which seem to be concerned with mind, thought and imagining it just makes me want to not read that part. They are very familiar from things I've heard and read but none of them feel personal anymore. I am starting to dis-identify with this intellectual mind orientated type.
Leo still does not understand that anybody intellectual can talk to themselves for three hours straight. But not anybody can listen to someone else talking for three hours straight. Because that transfer of knowledge through words to someone outside your own mind is fundamentally different than how you are percieving it as your saying it.as its coming from your own. But that for me is jot the only issue or the main concern
There is a point where you reach a capacity and it becomes meaningless. Have you ever watched a video, scrolled down to leave a comment only to find you've already left one, over a year ago. That will happen if you are a RUclips addict. Your brain at a certain point throws shit out as trash because it probably is. How much of all of this ocean of monologue is going in one ear and spilling out of the other onto the floor. Now try to quantify in value the amount of wasted time that that is.
Many gurus teach with their words and give long satangs but they all always say that they're only doing that to keep you engaged. Its a pacifier. Something else is actually going on. And that's why teachings are often contradictory. Because it not about the teaching its about the method to get you to a destination. The knowledge is not the point the destination is. Whereas with Leo the pacifier is the main source. There is nothing else going on its simply a philosophy lecture.
But those trip reports oh man! That blew my mind. I felt like a child. watching those, playing them in my car, thinking about them for no reason during the day.
@@russelltalker I feel like you are way overthinking a lot of stuff. You also sound very anxious and agitated (who else writes such long youtube comments) and your reply is very rambling and incomprehensible, making it literally pointless to write lol. I think you should take a break from Leo’s videos, stop hate watching them and focus on living a less stressful life.
@@russelltalker Also if you re read your reply you’ll see how obvious/transparent some of your projecting is
Only the RUclips’s video duration limit could stop Leo

This is the first video introducing me to your channel. I am amazed at the discussions you propose. I love this and look forward to watching more of your videos and catching up on all the rest!
This guy is insane don't you think?
Dear Leo, I'm in the journey of consciousness and everything is quite "new" to me. I am slowly decreasing my ego and I feel so much better.
Keep coming with videos. You know, I need you. So much love I can feel!
When you watch Leo's videos it's like lifting weights
But when you watch Leo's videos while meditating for an hour every day, it's like lifting weights and taking steroids
Phew!!! Quite a speech. First let me appreciate the efforts (6 Months) you have put into making this video. You went to extra length (Literally and Metaphorically) to put it together. I started appreciating the possibilities of the various interpretations of the reality and how I become the culprit and victim of my own interpretations. Very solid conclusion at the end, Thanks for the cautioning us against the self-deceptive nature of the interpretations. Sincere gratitude for your work.
Thanks Leo, you made me more conscious of life, now I am trying to see beauty in everything , really it is a wonderful world
BRILLIANT TIMING...much needed ..Beyond grateful for you
Great video, brother! I found myself way too exited when you listed my personal interpretations among those examples as well as even better ones. Another great reminder of the bigger picture. Much needed.
You don't need to prove yourself to anyone, the ones who listen will and the ones who won't just aren't ready for it.
I appreciate all the work you do for us leo. You've changed my life 🦋🙏🏼
you just did it by commenting ;)
Everything has value, and it’s what a person values that directs their choices. Choices create habits and habits shape character. Character builds your reputation. Your reputation will shape how others value you.
Leo, you have no idea (or maybe you do) how badly this information has needed to be articulated on this level. It's about time we collectively assented to godhood. And you're about the only person I can say that to without the assumption I'm batshit insane. Love you my man.
Thanks
You can see the corruption and exploitation, and then, you can configure your life around it without taking it personally, but accepting and understanding the flaws. This is in contrast with seeing something and allowing it to emotionally influence you. Very important.
Well said
Spoken like a stoic
It's been a year that Leo says he's going to release more practical episodes, then he never does and keeps talking about God and the nature of reality. AND I DUCKING LOVE THAT :)
In some ways I’m glad to hear Leo talking about women because I feel like he is usually negative when talking about relationships. In other ways I roll my eyes because it’s always pick up stories when he is being positive.
I like your bringing up about meaning of life. I personally have always felt that life has no inherent meaning, but it has never bothered me. I put meaning into everything I do in the present, including whether washing dishes or playing an instrument. My partner is disabled and has trouble with finding meaning in life and really doesn't understand my view that I find meaning in everyday life, which is a paradox to her. I wish she did understand, but nothing I can do to help her think otherwise even though her life would likely be so less depressing for her if having a big meaning for life wasn't such a huge deal for her. Our worlds are so different.
Leo, thank you for such meticulous and practical delivery of the vast understanding that has enriched your own person. It truly is a service to evolution of men, living your beliefs, sharing what you have learned. I am lucky enough to have the experience that sync with what you share, thus confirming 'my own' truth. I am grateful for the possibility to indulge in what you will to share and most of all to have the vocabary to express myself to those willing to search for what surpasses us individually.
I fully agree that perception is our egos reality and theres no point in creating a dark negative reality with paranoia and conspiracy theories. Leo it would be great if you made another video pertaining to keeping up the practices even when meditation gets mundane and benefits aren’t immediately evident. Ive been on this journey for the last few years and there are days I wonder if its worth it and question how much it works. It would be nice to have an uplifting video to encourage perseverance. Maybe explain examples of growth spurt, setbacks, etc, in your journey to help encourage us to keep going. Just a suggestion. Thanks for spreading the wisdom.
One of the best episodes! This here is pure gold.
Just from the title I can already tell this is going to be an epic episode.
Why though? Isn't it ALREADY obvious, that you should keep your mind flexible and be able to see things from multiple perspectives? And you don't need a 3+ hour video about it?
I randomly paused the video to leave this comment, "This is the most fun I've had with someone in a long time Leo 😂." and it was exactly 1:11:11 in the vid lmfao I'm blissfully dead 🤣 .
Not true for me he was talking about the earth moving around the sun not being a fact but an interpretation
1:35:00 it could also be considered that the truth takes no hours of work and only requires the eyes to see and ears to hear
Like when your eyes focus on an optical illusion and you need to be in the right focus in order to see it
My perception (belief) is that, you're an incredibly 'perspective' and intelligent human being. I always find your observations and interpretations to be very intriguing. Thank you. Expansion is a great thing. (In my opinion.) 😉
Why do you assume I am a human being? ;)
Lol nice one god.
1:08 "This is what I live for" Holy shit.
Still remember when this channel had only a few of thousands of subscribers. 1M, not surprised! Way to go Leo (y)
This is a proof that views and likes aren’t an indication to the quality of the content. Going on for 3 hours straight sharing the wisdom, Thank you mentor.
When you’ve watched thousands of hrs of Leo and then he drops the bomb that maybe he meant the exact opposite of what you think he’s been saying when you’re already struggling to understand 1/10th of what is on the entire channel. 🤪 goes back to the first video on the channel and starts again…
I understand that feeling. Not so much with Leo or a person but more for Truths and what truth is supposed to actually be and can there even be one? Also I am finding that more spiritual or more knowledge I obtained it seems like a trap like another way talk ourselves into being ok with the shifty shit that happens sometimes in life. There is nothing wrong with that but I am here to be happy not always learn lessons through pain thats just smiling and saying thank you may I have another please. So growth has to be in the doing things a different way not the same. Now of course I obviously have not figured out how that works yet lol so sometimes I just watch the smoke roll out my ears lol 😅
So the struggle is real lol.
@@mistyjohnson9646 thank you for Sharing! I can relate with you for sure. How happy would you say you are on a scale of 1/10 on an average day? I’m always curious as to how people feel. Finding happiness on a frequent basis seems challenging in my experience. Do you find the same?
@@badass1g Good question. I would say I am at peace a good 80% of the time in there I do have random times were I get excited in a good way like when I notice the universe talking to me it makes me smile and after I make it through something that use to really upset me. I have realized that if I am positivity for to long a little something will happen to even it out. At first I thought that I was doing something wrong but then I realized that I had tipped the scales to much of anything is unbalanced plus I realized that we all have traumas that are barried so deep that we didn't know they were there that come up for attention and some feeling we just have to feel. So it passes for me pretty quickly like this past weekend I cried and was stressed out and had no clue why it stayed for about a day and I kind of just laid in bed and thought what the hell fuck this spirituality shit it sucks I am getting no were except being conditioned to like the shit people are handing me randomly I had to incidence were I was just hit out of left field and was like nope I don't put this out so why am getting it and then I realized it was a test I had drawn to myself to see if I was really done with my old story line and I realized that I was and that yes I got angry and upset even punched and kicked the air a little bit which is funny to see I am sure lol but I even handled it completely different than they way I used to and so I sleep on it and am great today so really our happiness is our own responsibility so knowing that and knowing that it doesn't matter what anyone says or does to us it holds no power or truth unless we give it to it. Now that's in life in general however I spend alot of my time alone which I enjoy but I do struggle with the fact that since all I can perceive is all that I create then how am I to learn how to love if in the back of my mind I know on some level that I created or drawn into myself a partner so for me it feels fake and lonely at times to me . I am great with people I don't have a problem getting anyone but I have a problem with knowing that what I want my or my not exist but at the same time if I am creating then I should be able to create what ever the hell it is that I want I don't need rules our boundaries so I get stuck in a loop there however I am getting closer and closer to getting out of it.
I hope that helps you.

Hey. I don't want to ramble but at the same time I need to be authentic and just type haha I've been very disconnected and depressed for the last month or two, and fell back into my gaming addiction, playing my escape from reality game (final fantasy 6), and just kind of spontaneously decided to get shrooms today, the plan was to microdose (1.5g) and watch this video in hopes it would help me. Side note I've still been meditating 3 x 1 hr sits every day and I have the faithful perspective that this will pass, it's all part of the process, the lows give meaning to the highs type of thinking, so I have attained a level of objectiveness to all of this, I've just been letting it happen and see where it goes and investigating if I just observe it, if it will correct itself from raising awareness.
Anyways this episode really gave me a taste of how underdeveloped my mind is and how lazy my mind is. My problem personally isn't so much a lack of open-mindedness, I actually find a lot of the points and scenarios to be obvious where it seemed like the majority would interpret it a different more myopic way. My problem is largely my laziness. Like I absolutely love your material and I push myself to listen, but the level of passion I have is met with like an equal level of resistance and laziness. I was observing myself listening and being like peaceful and joyful, I was laughing and uncontrollably smiling, then I'd get these periods where I felt like i couldn't bare to actively listen for another minute I'm tapped out then I looked at the timer and I was only 40 minutes in LOLLLLL but I did it XP haha it's my own fault for wasting SO much of my time drinking and gaming and smoking and staying secluded in my room in the dark for years and years. I've been on this journey almost 2.5 years and it feels like an eternity, I feel like I should be SO much more along then I am, but it's like the more I grow the more I feel like an infant who knows absolutely nothing and I'm confused if that's liberating and motivating or not?? I feel like it is and isn't, it probably is if I'm not attached to results. Hmmm positive criticism, I personally really like how many examples you give and you just keep hammering them out and I really love the length of the videos because for someone like me who rotted their mind most of their life and built this extremely strong belief system that I'm stupid and I can't understand intellectual things and I'm retarded and I'm slow and I have a learning disability or that something's wrong with me etc etc I just felt like every example was another hand extended like c'mon you can do it, keep trying, use that mental muscle hahaha... Using my mind cognitively is really challenging, I think moreso for me than the average person, and yet I feel like I resonate with your material SO much and it's absolutely transforming my life. I've been doing really well in terms of keeping up my daily meditation practice, but I feel like I'm starting to see maybe I'm too on that side of the fence.
PS I really loved when you messed up saying which gender has a vagina or penis midway through, because I know you really want to be on-point with your videos so I sense that you have like some light-hearted loathing for when you mess up, but I thought that was so funny I laughed out loud.
Alright O.o thanks lots of love!!!!! Time for bed
*Edit the following day: so I went to my friends camp today and I had a wonderful moment where we heard this rustling in the trees and plants, so I walked over quietly and noticed it was a bunny. We both watched it very still, and I got to observe it for about three minutes and I was in complete stillness and awe (Ive only seen a wild bunny once at a distance), and it walked right up next to me, I was really surprised and it didn't seem scared of me at all, and I cried after LOL and I'm just wondering now if that was a synchronicity because you were talking about the bunny scenario of two people pointing to a bunny but interpreting it differently. I feel like it's a sign that getting back into your vids is the right path as I've been slacking lately. Anyways bye 🐰🐰🐰
"interpretation is core to how you make sense of world" i absolutely love it. Such deep.

🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't resist!
Brought me back here. Thank you for everything leo
Whenever someone reacts negatively to me saying something that may be offensive but true at the same time, I look at them and say “it’s all how you interpret it.”
Thank you. Love you and your amazing perspective. Your grasp on dulality is refreshing and so needed in the world today.
I like this guy - I especially enjoy the abstract views and exercises. I like the metaphor that consciousness/awareness (if I'm allowed to equate these) is like the pixels on a screen - they are a container or a holder of content that is constantly changing and that is not the content itself.
I'm a huge fan and agree with Leo. In the video, he illustrates his examples using two or three points of view. Perhaps he did this for the sake of brevity. But, I'd add that in any scenario there are countless points of view. I'll use the Cubist art movement as an example. Pablo Picasso and George Barque's early cubist paintings were designed to depict a three-dimensional subject (a still life for example) on a two-dimensional surface (the canvas). Each fragment (of the painting) depicts the subject from a different point-of-view. In essence, these paintings depicted the subject from hundreds of different positions in space--same subject different appearance because the point of view changes. My point is that each scenario contains countless points of view. In addition, as Picasso and Barque were inventing Cubism, Einstein was simultaneously designing his theory of relativity--coincidence, I think not!
Great video, Leo. Loved it. I feel like everyone needs to hear this, especially in these times 🙏
Every single video that you put out, I learn The absolute logic of it, and a true wisdom of unseen knowledge that I get from it excellent job I’m glad I brought you to my consciousness Team truly bring back the memory of who I truly am and I am God with amnesia
If you ask yourself wether a particular interpretation of a situation would be empowering for you or the opposite, that could lead to you self-censoring your thoughts. I personally would always try to maximise accuracy regardless how uncomfortable the interpretation. The example that you gave can have more than one consequence (doesn't have to be disempowering), congruent to your argument.
It's possible that getting truthful and accurate with your interpretation empowers you
I just finished watching Ex machina Leo, PLEASE LET ME SLEEP.
This is a very yellow stage video. Thanks Leo!
Thank you so much Leo, you've been so impactful on my life and family
Dangerous drinking game: Take a shot everytime Leo says 'facts'.
2 minutes into the episode and I'm already drunk 🍷
130 mins in and he didn’t say it much.. fact!
A shot of 5MeO DMT
@@schwittzzschwitzow5138 that shit is like dying while remaining alive in your body. It’s insane thank god it only lasts ten mins.
@@schwittzzschwitzow5138 Yes, you are in transcendental state. Your Third Eye is now OPEN.
What are the five beliefs of transcendentalism?
(1) Everything is a reflection of god.
(2) Physical world is a doorway to the spiritual world.
(3) People can use intuition to see god in nature and their souls.
(4) A person is their own best authority.
(5) Feeling and intuition are superior to reason and intellect.
Can you please tell me which camera, which lens you are using? Also what the models of lights you have and where did you get that amazing backdrop? Much appreciated!!!
Also if you could tell me the microphone you used to it would be helpful
Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience, consisting of a flow of impressions of qualities received through the 5 senses, our Mind integrates into perceptions of recognizable objects, events and conclusions that answer the questions of who, what, how, where, when, etc. These answers are the Mind's interpretation of the impressions being received and are determined by our perspective which provides the context of meaning and is formed from our fundamental metaprograms:
Inner/Outer
More/Less
Better/Worse
For (toward)/not For (away from)
Thus, every perception is to some extent memory. Every memory is to some extent imagination. If the resulting narrative needs to be changed, change perspective. Is it a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only a choice.
Totally brilliant this lad has figured out how humans work interpretationally. I seek more, like we all endure.
When I was playing Super Mario Bros 1 on my NES, I as Mario was at every level trying to save the princess Peach from Bowser’s castles, but maybe the princess did not want to be saved by Mario and just wanted to live with Bowser, and that’s why Bowser took her from castle to castle trying to run away from evil Mario 🤔
Please make a video on how to integrate post awakening. I had an existential crisis and didn't know what to do. It really helps to get best and how to do what to do
You are the infinite field of consciousness. Everything exists right now. Every possible version of you or anything exists. Everything is Imaginary and You have been Imagining it. A Cosmic Dream by a Cosmic Mind and you are that Mind. When you realize this to be True, you'll be free of shame ,fear and limiting beliefs. You are powerful beyond measure. You are not human. Your are pure consciousness that's located Everywhere and (8)Nowhere(8). Everything is Consciousness,You are Everything ❤️
Just because you failed at accomplishing something, doesn’t mean you’re a failure as a person.sharing some love from small RUclipsr
The problem with direct access to truth is it either means someone can never be wrong (which can be disproved) OR that there are distortions that you aren't addressing that cause those mistakes.
*Its a SUBJECTIVE filter that distorts the reality* 🙏❤️
( _theres no good or bad, it’s only what u say about it that labels it_ 😊)
@HeavyRainFPV He wants to survive
how does one exist in a subjective reality and succeed in having an objective filter ?
When It reveals itself to you and you literally become everything in your direct experience,there will be no denying what's always been.❤️
So many insights in this episode. It really opens up one's mind. Thank you ❤
I really like your work ,helps a lot .and your discoveries about truth are exactly like them that I had at the moments of enlightenment before I read or watch anything about it.
Very good video💆🏾♂
Thank you very much, it becomes more and more subtle.
Hi Leo I think your teachings are great and totally changes the way I look at life, question though how did you start this way of thinking and where and how do you get your information on this deepness of life as its not taught in schools or books
There are some books. See my book list.
Enlightenment is like a blind man in a community of blinds who become sighted !
Can you do another video on energy? You said you would make a bigger video on it someday
this channel is god sent
its not.. i didnt approve lol
Thank you Leo once more for free sharing great topics for deep and profound philosophical insights for us to think about and integrate in our lives. In this case, to guide us to an multi-perspectival thought, multiple world visions and integral mind.
I just watched this video entirely. Thanks for sharing your thoughts leo.
I just read your warning disclaimers.. well i am bipolar and i gotta say your content has helped me alot spiritually and emotionally/mentally. It just depends how you interpret what you say.. i do understand that you have to make such warnings tho.
Yes. My interpretations were foolish because I didn’t have critical thinking and I took for truth the interpretations of others as my own. I feel so ashamed of my past self. Daily I check my Facebook memories for the day to see were my mind was. I feel ashamed and more aware of the box I was in . Now I am aware that I am still in a 📦 just a big bigger.
As interpretation is natural for us human beings, observation can save us over times..a deep, general observation of everything and ourselves above all, over and over again. Open mindness is what we constantly need, it's true, because it's so difficult to detach from our interpretation process, answering to that such powerful strenght of survivol..F.
Leo, this time you've really done it...in my not so perfect world, you've thrown a wrench in it...back to the drawing board for me! I am a practicing Stoic, so mentally, I am good being in chaos!
I want to see two Russians together- Leo and Lex .Who else wants that?
Leo might not want that much attention. He seems to enjoy being lowkey about his teachings. (Edit: That being said, I'd love to see that conversation.)
what lol... I think I lack the understanding to properly appreciate this joke.
who is Lex
@@nevon911 Lex Fridman
There is Artemus Dolgin. Check his IG, talks alot about psychedelics
Much love Leo !
Me too
I love the motivational speech at the end of the videos, thank you!
God I really feel you with people projecting on you and wanting to 'debate' you and you're just too conscious to go down that line.. and you have to somehow melt away the hatred from a place of love - which in some cases love means throwing hatred out of the collective conscious.
When listening to Leo a definition of God came to my mind: God is the infinite intelligence of reality.
God is you.
@Max Payne that's the trick you play on yourself to keep yourself a finite creature that can be lost in the drama of "life" . Have fun God,your funny. ;)

Leo you need to use this quote in a video
@@ActualizedOrg you should study more Native American spirituality/indigenous spirituality and spiritual traditions, outside of the belief systems you’re familiar with. Like more “animistic” traditions

The lesson of this video is for you to be more "epistemically responsible" That's my new favorite term. 😎
