@@knightc270 lmfao! Not exactly, there are no god beliefs or a higher power or sacrifice. They are things you can literally see if you look inside in silence. There is no wacky belief necessarily, most of us don't sit in silence because we have phones and tv and all types of crap.
I love this, thanks for sharing! It made me think of a quote by Albert Camus. It isn't really related but I am still posting it. "Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee? But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself."
Being diagnosed with cancer at 24 years old, now 6 months later during chemo I am the most happiest, content, patient and grateful I have ever been in my life. Having to face the possibility of your own death, because you can't escape it or distract yourself from it really does something to your psyche, once you get trough to the other side. Every day feels like a miracle now.
I remember when I was in my 20s I was mad at stuff (clothes, gadgets, etc) braking and malfunctioning. My mind was so materialistic and attached to stuff. One day I had this realization of the impermanence of things and how everything was this way. It was a Mindfuck, I remember be brainwashed thinking that science was going to save us. We could freeze our brains and nano technology was going to fix us. This was also a time when I started meditating. Consciousness is really a thing we have to develop into the culture. So much suffering at clinging to stuff and life in general.
Sammmme it’s so cute to think of lil Leo petting all the rabbits I always feel so bad wen I go to animal shelters and see dogs that aren’t getting any love while others do
The thing that excites me most about impermanence is that at every moment we are diving into totally new undiscovered reality. It's so exhilarating. Even idea of who you were 5 minutes ago becomes just reminiscence. Reality is always something new.
You've had a profound shift on my level of consciousness over the last couple of years. You're a huge reason why I post videos every single day and follow my life purpose of making people more present and conscious. Thank you Leo. Much love. 🙏
This is perhaps the most beautiful talk you've given Leo. So much love in so many ways. And it's beautiful to see where you started as a child in the rabbit story. We're all born into pure love. Your work is helping us to remember who we are and why we're here. Much love to you too.
I haven't watched this yet but last night I had an intense psilocybin experience which brought me so much learning. I had the teachings of Leo, Alan Watts, Terence Mckenna, Eckhart Tolle, Owen Cook and others coming through me. It all made perfect sense, like everything in the universe is perfect, and I (with all my flaws) am perfect too. All the stuff Leo talks about hit me so hard, the 'I am you and god and everybody else at the same time, but you are all god too.' 'There is nobody else here, it is all a construct of my mind'. All this stuff I thought was nuts, was all so real to me. I was flipping from one level of reality to another, watching myself watch myself. All my fears had gone, I was a spirit floating through time-space consciousness trying to prove that I existed, but to who, who is the 'I' that I am trying to prove it to. A very powerful experience for me.
I lost a child, it led to an existential crisis which then led to multiple spiritual awakenings which then to SD stage yellow. It was all perfect and I wouldn’t change any of it!
I've been following you for a few years and this has been the best use of "my time". I've changed so much thanks to your advice and to questioning things at a deeper level. Thank you!
We are in a marathon of more than five years with you Leo, changing perspectives all the time, dying and reborn many times until we get use to the personality changes feeling the impermanence of our self image. the rate of changes becomes faster and faster with the time. I don't have time to recreate myself before the next time to die and reborn. I love you Leo, I agree with you that no one talks at the depths that you talk. I know that I invented you because I needed exactly this kind of master that only me can invent. Thank you Leo my lovely brother
Understanding Impermanence - Why Reality Is Always Changing: No single form can be frozen in reality. If God got stuck on one particular form then all of God's attention go on that form and it wouldn't be as diverse and as infinitely loving and creative as it could be if it kept moving on. But to move on it has to let go of the thing it created. God is a shapeshifter. Unlimited Love doesn't cling. Devilry occurs when you try to make impermanent to be permanent. Which forms am I trying to freeze in my life? "Mono-no aware. It’s basically about being both saddened and appreciative of transience - and also about the relationship between life and death" Embrace impermanence. "Shapeshifting requires the ability to transcend your attachments, in particular your ego attachments to identity and who you are. If you can get over your attachment to labeling yourself and your cherishing of your identity, you can be virtually anybody. You can slip in and out of different shells, even different animal forms or deity forms." TODO: • observe impermanence on the micro level • notice you want to cling to a state and let it go Life is infinitely deep.
Even science admits absolute zero doesn't actual exist anywhere, the closest thing to it are super cooled quantum computers, and even they change state. While the zero point vacuum is awash with changed infinite superpositioned potentialities while simultaneously containing near infinite energy as 1 cubic cm has enough energy to power current human civilization for 1000 years.
I really cannot describe how valuable this content is in this age. Its free, its not really much popular, and he really really do the hard work to research and discover it.
You are a change anyway Wich means there is no permanence the only difference is are you able to make your change and your non permanence be seen by others in a consciousness way that could benifit the universe and the humanity
Recently, I say something I know it's really will hurt my survival, but somehow I said those disgusting things. But I shocked later, when realizing that it's what made me and the listeners feel great! I felt less afraid, more confident and even more happier because I said the Truth! And others, they just laughed because I said something they had not heard before. Much thank Leo! You are making my life and others' much easier by embracing the Truth!
God also likes to collect moments ( OUR MOMENTS) and comeback all the time to favorites as individual souls. But you are right, the fake identity (shadow ego) makes us temporary devils, but theres a catch, creation its so intelligent that we live eternal and our God inside or Christ consciousness will prevail always, so its fun because its our ride together to become fully conscious of our GODNESS . Much Love leo and everybody/thing. 💕
Thanks again Leo! One of my favorite quotes from Terrence McKenna is "all flows". As he was referring to the real lessons he gleamed from phsycdelics. If you take a high enough dose of LSD, mushrooms, or dmt. You will come I'm contact with your shape shifting nature and it will feel like death. My most profound awakening came to me after I got cancer and my sister was admitted to rehab for alcohol abuse. It felt like I was presented with a choice. Cling to what was or let it be and face it. From there I somehow found God's ever love and mercy. I'm alright now but forever changed and I've found immortality. Kinda hard to explain but I'm sure some will understand. ♥️
It’s second last year of uni for my friend and I. We are realising this may be the last year we get to mess around with little to no responsibility together. The impermanence is hitting hard, today’s our last day. It feels really hard but I’m seeing that it’s a natural and unavoidable part of life that we all go through. I hope everyone finds the peace in the impermanence 🙏🏾
The food analogy is pretty true. When ur hungry, u can taste all of what ur eating and it's goooood. When ur not hungry anymore, the taste goes away and that's when u know ur done
I had a load of pet rabbits when I was 6, one day our next door neighbour's brought a rottweiler and kept it tied to a post in their backyard. I woke up early in the morning before school to feed them and found every single rabbit ripped to shreds in our backyard or simply shocked to death.It was the first time I experienced death and evil in person and it made me realise there was nothing I could except accept it and move on. We kept this one rabbit in the house at the time because he was sick and he lived for a lot longer than the other rabbits. His name was almo

Thanks so much for this! I literally had to put down my 17 year old cat yesterday that I’ve had since I was 10 :/ It was alarming to basically hear you tell the exact same story. Thank you 🙏
Wow Leo, the story of rabbits reminded me of the time I was buying my German Shepard. There were 3 dogs left at the time of buying and I felt awkward to choose any particular, the most beautiful in my eyes. I also very quickly figured out which one was the most beautiful one. I felt for the less beautiful, they deserve love and affection just as the most beautiful one. I decided that the first dog that comes to me will be my dog. If the one I set my eyes on won’t come, so be it. I will love anyone. To my surprise the most beautiful German Shepherd came to me. He is the love of my life. He is truly the most handsome dog, he has wonderful personality and understands speech like now other dog. If I lock myself out he will let me into the house. When I play with him I always tell him with a smile “ it’s so easy to be loved if your German Shepherd” all dogs and animals deserve love. Love the video, Leo.
When I think of "reality" it reminds me of The Four Agreements. How we all live in a different version of reality because we all have our own unique experiences, which have lead us to our own reality and life. Therefore, our reality is always changing because our experiences are always changing. They change based on who we interact with, what we come across, how we react, etc. each and every moment of the day.
(Just following your video final “challenge” Leo hehe) - although I agree, I would also complement my Time with Creating, Music, Art, all of that. That would be the best use of my time that I could think of :) Keep up, thank you deeply for these monthly pearls
I found your videos today,I don't know how.I am impressed by the timing of it and by tbe subject matters: exactly my current struggles!. Thank you for attempting the difficult.
3rd time watching this video to make sense of all the craziness we are going through now and come to terms with my Lonely pointless life...it Hurts a little less , thank you Leo
Your work is pure gold. Thank you so much for creating a youtube channel and putting your work into it, with something so rare and what really counts. I was searching for something like this for a long time. Just found you some days ago, so have to catch up in listening to all your recent work. Greatings from Germany and sorry for bad english.
I still remember that night. It was in 2014 .Me being a sad desperate teenager opening the google homepage typing in "how to attract a girl" and the first video that popped up was leo's video. I watched it and immediately recognized the incredible value that you were putting in your videos. I always had a healthy ego to constantly improve and develop myself at all levels and I could identify myself immediately with leo. I always thought about the concepts and tries to ask intresting questions as a way of skepticism. Now I am asking less questions (I still do, just that its less often) and putting that energy into seeing how, what leo says, applys to daily life. Its truly mind blowing to see how mechanistic and predictable humans are. Me being an Indian found about sadguru only in 2016, two years later after I met leo. Crazy how an indian learns about liberation from an american.. lol.. I am feeling very lucky that I am born into a culture that has enlightenment as a part of daily life. Thanks to the gurus that lived here before our time. More than that leo is helping us save time as he is doing hundereds of hours of research, interpreting the material and giving to us in such an easily understandable manner(understandable for me since I have been following his work for 5 years as of now) . Nobody comes ever close to leo in sharing content thu deep. In india it seems that people try to come about liberation at a very robotic manner, it seems to me. Thats just dosent feel right. I am only 20 and I havr got myself in college. I think its wise to finish college first,dropping out is never a good idea. I have a few more years of college. I have structured my life that I want to attain liberation fast. I will definitely attend sadhguru's programs and see the results. Please keep up the good work. Lets hope we can attain liberation in this life itself. Come to india one day😍
personally i found sadghuru egotistical. I have watched quiet a few of his videos, he has great ideas and content but he seems not radically open minded. He stresses over Hinduism over and over and does not accept all religion are same. He needs to have some understanding of sameness, radical open mindedness, ego ,self bias and more other concepts we have been learning through this channel.
no spiritual teaching is ultimate in any sense. guru is just a guidance. Anyway you need a healthy ego to actively communicate the truth in a clear way. From sadguru, he spent lifetimes doing sadana and he knows more at an experiential level.
this message cut to the core of human nature. I've been studying leo's topics for years now, in a sense, I've not listened to all his content obviously, he's got so many videos. I just want to take a chance to thank you Mr' gura, You have challenged me and educated me as well. I'm not really on your level and I'm struggling in my meditation practice very much through the years. This theory of impermanence really struck a cord with me, and I relate to the topic. SO I'm thinking. oh, on a side note i wanted to mention that you helped me a few years back with my smoking when you explained that anything worth attempting was worth failing at, and to keep trying to quit is what you said, and I tried that and I can say after 3 or so years of trying that method i've had some real success with it, or improvement, but to me it's been a real break through, so thanks for that. I was actually thinking the exact thing you said about it, but when you put that into words for me, I just realized I wasn't alone and that meant alot to me right there. I have alot of respect for what you do, sir, I do. so thanks for everything, and as far as impermenance is concerned I've heard some of this type of theory from other teachers and it makes alot of sense, not to complain, but my big problem now is about the spiral dynamics theory and how to move from one stage to another. I mean I'm understanding it basically well, but I'm finding thatnot only have I been stuck where I am, I'm concerned that When I try to move up the platform I'm incountering such strange interferences, and the searching and revealing nature of the process has really scared me, to tell the truth. For example, I was found in my meditation to be in a deep well where there was no water and no way to climb out, and every day when the sun would stand above the well at noon, the sun would shine on me, and I understood that as my life, and during that short time when the hot sun beat down on my as I sat at the bottom of the well thirsting and starving I would imagine my life in my mind. I worked as a fire man, I went to visit a woman I was fond of, I ate and drank, then the sun would move on and I'd be in the dark again. So this has been my life is basically what the vision told me. Then The vision told me, you think you need this, you think you need that, you long for this woman you love, you go to get some money from some where, or other imaginations, but what you really need sam, is to get out of this god damned well. {which to me is in effect your teaching..it shouts to my deaf ears, sometimes I almost hear what you're saying and I'm caught in what I call prescence, of coarse you're not responsible for my awakening anymore than any other teacher, you may water, but it's god who causes the growth!, also it does take a village to raise a child} but anyway, I'm still at the bottom of this god damned well ironically, but the way I understand the teachings is that first the realization happens, the awaking to the situation happens, like in the example of the matrix, then, obviously i'm willing to accept who I am, what my situation is, clearly, Although it's been a process just to awaken to the situation I'm in, not to get to personal about myself or anything, it's just, I'm like a broken wheel basically. I roll around, then I hit the flat broken part of my self and all progress just stops. I mean I hit the wall, I got out of rehab 6 months ago and I was feeling very optimistic, but honestly man I did pretty good for about a week man. then I noticed I started my old thinking and that was 6 months ago. I'm just glad that you're able to carry the weight, because I can't, it seems like I can't, I should say. in the bible somewhere in pauls writings it says not to judge a weak brother, and his comment was, because the lord is able to make him stand. But you're right, god helps those who help themselves! I'm trying to just take your advice like about the smoking and apply to my general difficulties as well, and honestly it does work. If I could hand out any free advice to someone in my situation, having trouble making progress, it'd be, don't give up!! I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel, at least in a small way, of coarse. there is hope.
Using the term 'Shape Shifting' is really helping my mind grasp the concept of Me being God. I'm practicing lucid dreaming to aid in my awakening, and I tell you now, I'm both formless and an array of forms all at the same time in my dreams. Hell I've even been Tom Cruise and Celine Dion (mind blowing).. I think Leo is pointing to something indeed! Thank you so much Leo for your work! No words can describe how much it's helping me to raise my consciousness and thus that of others around me! Ripple Effect at it's highest.
Leo ! For Me It's been Few Years to Follow You. I appreciate your Free Help to Awaken Not Only us But entire Universe . Your Teaching Helping Me Alot in Different ways to Learn and Grow Infinitely. Feels like You are aLways There. I'M A Pakistani and You are My Guru. Thanks, Best, Kamal.
I think I just had another awakening while watching this. I had no idea that rejection of everything’s impermanence was the work of devilry. It all makes sense! I have been engaged in devilry every day of my life and resisting everything. (Even since my initial realization that I’m not the body or mind) This has caused me and so many people a whole lot of pain! I can’t believe I didn’t see it! It’s clear as the day now!
Speaking of impermanence, I have to say that Atheism is the most profound spiritual experience I’ve ever had which gets you deeply in touch with objectively quantifiable materialist reality of the present moment, the importance of something like meditation and knowledge (gnosis) of your own mortality. It really cleans your mind of all bullshit and I don’t think this aspect of it is talked about nearly enough.
Leo, why did i create me in a bad environment? You might kill me because she is low in awareness and she has wisdom that we are always afraid that I will die and not do anything meaningful
I don't know why, but 28:00 really made me smile. I watch these videos every week religiously but I don't know anything about Leo. When he opens up and gives us a little story about his past I couldn't help but smile! Great video as always Leo
homa ayoughi certain people yes, don’t lump 7 billion in 1 basket. Obviously you got on this journey because the people around you have their beliefs and they don’t question them (this could be your friends or people your age or your whole city or your whole country). Part of your path is moving and searching for people that have the same interests as you. This is very hard and requires dedication since most people just want any friends or just want to be accepted by anyone or as a girl most guys just want sex from you etc

@@homaayoughi3383 Yes, I am from Kuwait and the same thing your going through, I am as well and that's because we are slicing ourselves, most people created their own personas and beliefs that give them confidence, we are yet to make our own, and thats why we feel distant and weak, but as soon as you start to create new beliefs and start manufacture a personality consciously by seeking experiences and testing hypothesis or by even imagination and mantra where you imagine situations. LEO is just telling the RAW truth and that will shake even most confident's confidence and thats why not so many people like spiritual path because its hard and threatening to their self image survival.
If you only died and thus knew what the ego is, you wouldn't look at anyone the same anymore. We are living among devils. Maybe I sound arrogant or something, but this is the case.
I have tried many times, to absorb the teachings of Sadhguru. His message is either too simple for me, or it's lost in the translation or culture difference. I am grateful for Leo, because if I only had teachers like Sadhguru, I would not have gotten very far
It's 4:30am right now and I can't think of a better waste of time than watching this video 😆 But seriously I want to say thank you so much Leo for making these videos, you talk about wisdom and ideas that I would never have heard from anybody, ever, if it weren't for you. I'm 22 and have been watching these videos since I was 17 in high school and they have definitely changed my life and you've really inspired me to get on this spiritual path. I finally started a meditation habit that I'm determined to keep for the rest of my life, and I'm gonna keep watching and learning from your videos and for as long as you keep creating them 😊 Btw: Imagining you dropping actualized.org to start streaming minecraft on twitch had me cracking up 😂😂
Leo, great video. I´m waiting for a video about TIME. I find it hard to understand what phenomenon we are experiencing as time (increasing entropy?). About this video: I can imagine many people will argue about the possibility that science will be able to invent immortality (stop our aging process, transfer us to computers). In that case, what you don´t realize is that it will not be immortality. It´s only relatively longer lives. Nothing will live infinitely long. AND, as Leo said, the vessels, identity and ideas of that consciousness will also contantly change and not be the same, hence, not immortal in any case.
Too drastic, simply change in the now to anything you want. I think Suicide just lands you in a worse now like one's minus A/C and penicillin plus chains, cages, and lashings...
Learning Impermanence and letting go ( which is another video of Leo ) is important for using psychedelics. Resisting will just give you a bad trip. You have to let go and surrender to the experience. In fact I became better at letting go after every trip. On my last trip I learned that fear of death is just a fear of my true self. I was just running from my true self which is God.
You're a pioneer, thanks for all your work and insights. Could you consider a video explaining your view on current ecological problems and what to do about it?
sai krishna the assumption that the body progresses according to moments, days, years is a false belief. Time doesn’t exist, this is proven scientifically and more absolutely through direct experience. Try now to go to the past or the future, it’s not possible because it doesn’t exist. The past or future is just the current thought that you are having now. Now is not linear now is eternal. You have never experienced time, you experience Now. Just ask yourself these questions. Have I ever known more than one Now? Can I step into a past or a future? Moments are a belief, they are not actually true to experience. Now isn’t a moment it is the presence of eternity. Activities rise and subside presently and this change, this evolution, this impermanence forms the illusion of time. Time is a mental construct, a tool used to help navigate life. You are eternity knowing expressions of yourself presently. Forget what you have been taught and witness experience as it is because experience is the test of what is true. Activities arise and subside within an eternal Now. You are an immortal being creating a human experience, Now.

Understanding Impermanence - Why Reality Is Always Changing:
No single form can be frozen in reality.
If God got stuck on one particular form then all of God's attention go on that form and it wouldn't be as diverse and as infinitely loving and creative as it could be if it kept moving on. But to move on it has to let go of the thing it created.
God is a shapeshifter.
Unlimited Love doesn't cling.
Devilry occurs when you try to make impermanent to be permanent.
Which forms am I trying to freeze in my life?
"Mono-no aware. It’s basically about being both saddened and appreciative of transience - and also about the relationship between life and death"
Embrace impermanence.
"Shapeshifting requires the ability to transcend your attachments, in particular your ego attachments to identity and who you are. If you can get over your attachment to labeling yourself and your cherishing of your identity, you can be virtually anybody. You can slip in and out of different shells, even different animal forms or deity forms."
TODO:
• observe impermanence on the micro level
• notice you want to cling to a state and let it go
Life is infinitely deep.
Even science admits absolute zero doesn't actual exist anywhere, the closest thing to it are super cooled quantum computers, and even they change state. While the zero point vacuum is awash with changed infinite superpositioned potentialities while simultaneously containing near infinite energy as 1 cubic cm has enough energy to power current human civilization for 1000 years.
I really cannot describe how valuable this content is in this age. Its free, its not really much popular, and he really really do the hard work to research and discover it.
Leo, I’ve no words. Just THANK YOU for your work.

Does the winged life destroy

Well, if Reality is going to change anyway, we might as well be the change we want to see in the world :)
True
You are a change anyway Wich means there is no permanence the only difference is are you able to make your change and your non permanence be seen by others in a consciousness way that could benifit the universe and the humanity
"And who else is doing that, but us?", now that is The Question! THANK YOU, Leo!
This video every time I watch it makes me want to burst into tears. I look around me and see life's magical colors. Thank you, Leo!
Anyone else get emotional listening to the cat story? 😢 I love the anecdotes you’ve been including recently Leo ❤️
Recently, I say something I know it's really will hurt my survival, but somehow I said those disgusting things.
But I shocked later, when realizing that it's what made me and the listeners feel great!
I felt less afraid, more confident and even more happier because I said the Truth!
And others, they just laughed because I said something they had not heard before.
Much thank Leo! You are making my life and others' much easier by embracing the Truth!
Quarantine days now. This contents resonate me so much. 3rd time listening to this. Totally my bible.
God also likes to collect moments ( OUR MOMENTS) and comeback all the time to favorites as individual souls. But you are right, the fake identity (shadow ego) makes us temporary devils, but theres a catch, creation its so intelligent that we live eternal and our God inside or Christ consciousness will prevail always, so its fun because its our ride together to become fully conscious of our GODNESS . Much Love leo and everybody/thing. 💕
Thanks again Leo!
One of my favorite quotes from Terrence McKenna is "all flows". As he was referring to the real lessons he gleamed from phsycdelics. If you take a high enough dose of LSD, mushrooms, or dmt. You will come I'm contact with your shape shifting nature and it will feel like death.
My most profound awakening came to me after I got cancer and my sister was admitted to rehab for alcohol abuse. It felt like I was presented with a choice. Cling to what was or let it be and face it. From there I somehow found God's ever love and mercy. I'm alright now but forever changed and I've found immortality. Kinda hard to explain but I'm sure some will understand. ♥️
Yes
Leo, you've been feeding my soul since 2015......Thank you for THE TRUTH all these years!
Watching your videos and doing the homework is a highly valuable use of my time, Leo - thank you!
It’s second last year of uni for my friend and I. We are realising this may be the last year we get to mess around with little to no responsibility together.
The impermanence is hitting hard, today’s our last day. It feels really hard but I’m seeing that it’s a natural and unavoidable part of life that we all go through.
I hope everyone finds the peace in the impermanence 🙏🏾
Thank you for your work and choosing to stay uncorrupted, from the bottom of my heart.
This Channel and RSD really gave me great eyes to see what the world has for me.
What channel is "rsd"?
Leo, this is my second round with this video. Simply brilliant! It really connects with me. Thank you 😊
Totally the best use of my time watching contents from this channel.
The food analogy is pretty true. When ur hungry, u can taste all of what ur eating and it's goooood. When ur not hungry anymore, the taste goes away and that's when u know ur done
I had a load of pet rabbits when I was 6, one day our next door neighbour's brought a rottweiler and kept it tied to a post in their backyard. I woke up early in the morning before school to feed them and found every single rabbit ripped to shreds in our backyard or simply shocked to death.It was the first time I experienced death and evil in person and it made me realise there was nothing I could except accept it and move on. We kept this one rabbit in the house at the time because he was sick and he lived for a lot longer than the other rabbits. His name was almo

It was alarming to basically hear you tell the exact same story.
Thank you 🙏
How beautiful, being able to share so many years with them. How blessed are you. 🙏
Watching Leo streaming Minecraft would totally open my third eye
Az biztos, enyémet is
Wow Leo, the story of rabbits reminded me of the time I was buying my German Shepard. There were 3 dogs left at the time of buying and I felt awkward to choose any particular, the most beautiful in my eyes. I also very quickly figured out which one was the most beautiful one. I felt for the less beautiful, they deserve love and affection just as the most beautiful one. I decided that the first dog that comes to me will be my dog. If the one I set my eyes on won’t come, so be it. I will love anyone. To my surprise the most beautiful German Shepherd came to me. He is the love of my life. He is truly the most handsome dog, he has wonderful personality and understands speech like now other dog. If I lock myself out he will let me into the house. When I play with him I always tell him with a smile “ it’s so easy to be loved if your German Shepherd” all dogs and animals deserve love. Love the video, Leo.
Leo can you play Minecraft for next weeks videos to demonstrate absolute infinity and impermanace concepts?
great idea dude
Oh thank you for your perspective, Leo, I sometimes forget how your videos are more enjoyable to me than the morning news.
When I think of "reality" it reminds me of The Four Agreements. How we all live in a different version of reality because we all have our own unique experiences, which have lead us to our own reality and life.
Therefore, our reality is always changing because our experiences are always changing. They change based on who we interact with, what we come across, how we react, etc. each and every moment of the day.
What just a story u come up to the "why".
The same with Leo answer. Just a story, good like any other.
@@bartomiej7501 What?
If every person understood even half of what Leo talks about, this world would become much better than it is today
I love how you put so much into every video! Thank-you for all your work!
(Just following your video final “challenge” Leo hehe) - although I agree, I would also complement my Time with Creating, Music, Art, all of that. That would be the best use of my time that I could think of :)
Keep up, thank you deeply for these monthly pearls
I found your videos today,I don't know how.I am impressed by the timing of it and by tbe subject matters: exactly my current struggles!.
Thank you for attempting the difficult.
3rd time watching this video to make sense of all the craziness we are going through now and come to terms with my Lonely pointless life...it Hurts a little less , thank you Leo
Your work is pure gold. Thank you so much for creating a youtube channel and putting your work into it, with something so rare and what really counts. I was searching for something like this for a long time. Just found you some days ago, so have to catch up in listening to all your recent work. Greatings from Germany and sorry for bad english.
Thank You Leo for your work!!!!
I still remember that night. It was in
2014 .Me being a sad desperate teenager opening the google homepage typing in "how to attract a girl" and the first video that popped up was leo's video. I watched it and immediately recognized the incredible value that you were putting in your videos. I always had a healthy ego to constantly improve and develop myself at all levels and I could identify myself immediately with leo. I always thought about the concepts and tries to ask intresting questions as a way of skepticism. Now I am asking less questions (I still do, just that its less often) and putting that energy into seeing how, what leo says, applys to daily life. Its truly mind blowing to see how mechanistic and predictable humans are. Me being an Indian found about sadguru only in 2016, two years later after I met leo. Crazy how an indian learns about liberation from an american.. lol.. I am feeling very lucky that I am born into a culture that has enlightenment as a part of daily life. Thanks to the gurus that lived here before our time.
More than that leo is helping us save time as he is doing hundereds of hours of research, interpreting the material and giving to us in such an easily understandable manner(understandable for me since I have been following his work for 5 years as of now) .
Nobody comes ever close to leo in sharing content thu deep. In india it seems that people try to come about liberation at a very robotic manner, it seems to me. Thats just dosent feel right.
I am only 20 and I havr got myself in college. I think its wise to finish college first,dropping out is never a good idea. I have a few more years of college. I have structured my life that I want to attain liberation fast. I will definitely attend sadhguru's programs and see the results. Please keep up the good work. Lets hope we can attain liberation in this life itself.
Come to india one day😍
personally i found sadghuru egotistical. I have watched quiet a few of his videos, he has great ideas and content but he seems not radically open minded. He stresses over Hinduism over and over and does not accept all religion are same. He needs to have some understanding of sameness, radical open mindedness, ego ,self bias and more other concepts we have been learning through this channel.
no spiritual teaching is ultimate in any sense. guru is just a guidance. Anyway you need a healthy ego to actively communicate the truth in a clear way. From sadguru, he spent lifetimes doing sadana and he knows more at an experiential level.
this message cut to the core of human nature. I've been studying leo's topics for years now, in a sense, I've not listened to all his content obviously, he's got so many videos. I just want to take a chance to thank you Mr' gura, You have challenged me and educated me as well. I'm not really on your level and I'm struggling in my meditation practice very much through the years. This theory of impermanence really struck a cord with me, and I relate to the topic. SO I'm thinking. oh, on a side note i wanted to mention that you helped me a few years back with my smoking when you explained that anything worth attempting was worth failing at, and to keep trying to quit is what you said, and I tried that and I can say after 3 or so years of trying that method i've had some real success with it, or improvement, but to me it's been a real break through, so thanks for that. I was actually thinking the exact thing you said about it, but when you put that into words for me, I just realized I wasn't alone and that meant alot to me right there. I have alot of respect for what you do, sir, I do. so thanks for everything, and as far as impermenance is concerned I've heard some of this type of theory from other teachers and it makes alot of sense, not to complain, but my big problem now is about the spiral dynamics theory and how to move from one stage to another. I mean I'm understanding it basically well, but I'm finding thatnot only have I been stuck where I am, I'm concerned that When I try to move up the platform I'm incountering such strange interferences, and the searching and revealing nature of the process has really scared me, to tell the truth. For example, I was found in my meditation to be in a deep well where there was no water and no way to climb out, and every day when the sun would stand above the well at noon, the sun would shine on me, and I understood that as my life, and during that short time when the hot sun beat down on my as I sat at the bottom of the well thirsting and starving I would imagine my life in my mind. I worked as a fire man, I went to visit a woman I was fond of, I ate and drank, then the sun would move on and I'd be in the dark again. So this has been my life is basically what the vision told me. Then The vision told me, you think you need this, you think you need that, you long for this woman you love, you go to get some money from some where, or other imaginations, but what you really need sam, is to get out of this god damned well. {which to me is in effect your teaching..it shouts to my deaf ears, sometimes I almost hear what you're saying and I'm caught in what I call prescence, of coarse you're not responsible for my awakening anymore than any other teacher, you may water, but it's god who causes the growth!, also it does take a village to raise a child} but anyway, I'm still at the bottom of this god damned well ironically, but the way I understand the teachings is that first the realization happens, the awaking to the situation happens, like in the example of the matrix, then, obviously i'm willing to accept who I am, what my situation is, clearly, Although it's been a process just to awaken to the situation I'm in, not to get to personal about myself or anything, it's just, I'm like a broken wheel basically. I roll around, then I hit the flat broken part of my self and all progress just stops. I mean I hit the wall, I got out of rehab 6 months ago and I was feeling very optimistic, but honestly man I did pretty good for about a week man. then I noticed I started my old thinking and that was 6 months ago. I'm just glad that you're able to carry the weight, because I can't, it seems like I can't, I should say. in the bible somewhere in pauls writings it says not to judge a weak brother, and his comment was, because the lord is able to make him stand. But you're right, god helps those who help themselves! I'm trying to just take your advice like about the smoking and apply to my general difficulties as well, and honestly it does work. If I could hand out any free advice to someone in my situation, having trouble making progress, it'd be, don't give up!! I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel, at least in a small way, of coarse. there is hope.
You got my support on Patreon. These lectures are so fucking amazing I wish they could go on forever and ever and ever. Man, you changed my life.
@Thymoteo Eevi what do u mean?
@Thymoteo Eevi ok. U got me thinking and curious
“Accept that cost of life is death” it is hard but I think I finally accept that
Using the term 'Shape Shifting' is really helping my mind grasp the concept of Me being God. I'm practicing lucid dreaming to aid in my awakening, and I tell you now, I'm both formless and an array of forms all at the same time in my dreams. Hell I've even been Tom Cruise and Celine Dion (mind blowing).. I think Leo is pointing to something indeed! Thank you so much Leo for your work! No words can describe how much it's helping me to raise my consciousness and thus that of others around me! Ripple Effect at it's highest.
This blew my mind. Never thought about this. So clever. Thank you
Thanks, Leo, for helping me to awake! Another awesome video, will check out your Life Purpose course!
Leo ! For Me It's been Few Years to Follow You. I appreciate your Free Help to Awaken Not Only us But entire Universe . Your Teaching Helping Me Alot in Different ways to Learn and Grow Infinitely. Feels like You are aLways There. I'M A Pakistani and You are My Guru. Thanks, Best, Kamal.

How the fuck do you come out with such amazingly quality content week after week. Blows my mind. Thank you so much Leo
I think I just had another awakening while watching this. I had no idea that rejection of everything’s impermanence was the work of devilry. It all makes sense! I have been engaged in devilry every day of my life and resisting everything. (Even since my initial realization that I’m not the body or mind) This has caused me and so many people a whole lot of pain! I can’t believe I didn’t see it! It’s clear as the day now!
Love your work and the way your mind works. Beautiful in every sense of the word.
I wish I had people like you to discss these topics in my life Leo
Thanks, for this great lecture!! All cells change every 180 days.
Speaking of impermanence, I have to say that Atheism is the most profound spiritual experience I’ve ever had which gets you deeply in touch with objectively quantifiable materialist reality of the present moment, the importance of something like meditation and knowledge (gnosis) of your own mortality. It really cleans your mind of all bullshit and I don’t think this aspect of it is talked about nearly enough.
Thank you so much for this video!
Love your advanced work and deep insight, makes complete sense 💗
Leo, why did i create me in a bad environment? You might kill me because she is low in awareness and she has wisdom that we are always afraid that I will die and not do anything meaningful
Impermanence is the primal force of the universe and self-drive movement of evolution and creativity.

As he should be.
Nope. Hes more of an S club 7 kinda guy

I don't know why, but 28:00 really made me smile. I watch these videos every week religiously but I don't know anything about Leo. When he opens up and gives us a little story about his past I couldn't help but smile! Great video as always Leo

I am so incredibly grateful for this channel (while it lasts) 😁
need to start a leo passion meter: how many fuckings per episode
todays answer: 4
good idea
I lol'd
Lool pls do this for every episode
We will start from the next video...
I think he was holding himself back in this video hahaha
I appreciate what you're doing Leo. Thank you for your work.
havent even watched the video came to drop a like anyway because leo is awesome!
So love is also the appreciation of impermanence
Was just about to sleep. Good night sleep.
I was waiting for the video, but slept too, finally finished watching.
Thats funny
@@deepakschweinseipokharel22 Insomnia is a side affect of watching Leo's videos
Excellent, one of your best for sure. Thank you.
How is this type of comment underneath each one of his videos? Seriously
Since I am in this path of self development I can't communicate with people anymore!I feel so lonely!
homa ayoughi certain people yes, don’t lump 7 billion in 1 basket. Obviously you got on this journey because the people around you have their beliefs and they don’t question them (this could be your friends or people your age or your whole city or your whole country). Part of your path is moving and searching for people that have the same interests as you. This is very hard and requires dedication since most people just want any friends or just want to be accepted by anyone or as a girl most guys just want sex from you etc
@@RyanSebastianVegas exactly!you know I am from Iran and iranians are mostly muslims and the rest of them are atheist who do not care about anything and both are somehow egotist I try to give love to everyone but they think I am loony I guess 😅😅
@@homaayoughi3383 Yes, I am from Kuwait and the same thing your going through, I am as well and that's because we are slicing ourselves, most people created their own personas and beliefs that give them confidence, we are yet to make our own, and thats why we feel distant and weak, but as soon as you start to create new beliefs and start manufacture a personality consciously by seeking experiences and testing hypothesis or by even imagination and mantra where you imagine situations. LEO is just telling the RAW truth and that will shake even most confident's confidence and thats why not so many people like spiritual path because its hard and threatening to their self image survival.
If you only died and thus knew what the ego is, you wouldn't look at anyone the same anymore. We are living among devils. Maybe I sound arrogant or something, but this is the case.
I have tried many times, to absorb the teachings of Sadhguru. His message is either too simple for me, or it's lost in the translation or culture difference. I am grateful for Leo, because if I only had teachers like Sadhguru, I would not have gotten very far
agreed. Sadhguru is amazing but I prefer Leo's way of explaining things. It's just very easy to follow and extremely profound
Thank you Leo for another great teaching
Thank you somuch for your life transforming teachings
😂😂 it dropped me off exactly where Leo saids God is a shape shifter in the episode of Aztec nonduality
It's 4:30am right now and I can't think of a better waste of time than watching this video 😆
But seriously I want to say thank you so much Leo for making these videos, you talk about wisdom and ideas that I would never have heard from anybody, ever, if it weren't for you. I'm 22 and have been watching these videos since I was 17 in high school and they have definitely changed my life and you've really inspired me to get on this spiritual path. I finally started a meditation habit that I'm determined to keep for the rest of my life, and I'm gonna keep watching and learning from your videos and for as long as you keep creating them 😊
Btw: Imagining you dropping actualized.org to start streaming minecraft on twitch had me cracking up 😂😂
Thanks so much for this, Leo ❤️😘
Leo, great video. I´m waiting for a video about TIME. I find it hard to understand what phenomenon we are experiencing as time (increasing entropy?).
About this video: I can imagine many people will argue about the possibility that science will be able to invent immortality (stop our aging process, transfer us to computers). In that case, what you don´t realize is that it will not be immortality. It´s only relatively longer lives. Nothing will live infinitely long. AND, as Leo said, the vessels, identity and ideas of that consciousness will also contantly change and not be the same, hence, not immortal in any case.
The only thing that's truly permanent in life is change, or impermanence. Superb share, still watching but loving it so far
Leo = living Angel

I thought I was the only one to see him as an angel lmao

Ethical Question:
Is Suicide “bad” or is it just someone choosing there time to shapeshifter?
Too drastic, simply change in the now to anything you want. I think Suicide just lands you in a worse now like one's minus A/C and penicillin plus chains, cages, and lashings...
It's bad if you're concerned about survival 😂
What is "bad"
Learning Impermanence and letting go ( which is another video of Leo ) is important for using psychedelics. Resisting will just give you a bad trip. You have to let go and surrender to the experience. In fact I became better at letting go after every trip. On my last trip I learned that fear of death is just a fear of my true self. I was just running from my true self which is God.
Gracias Iván
Video on 7 chakras? Or is that too woowoo
You're a pioneer, thanks for all your work and insights.
Could you consider a video explaining your view on current ecological problems and what to do about it?
There are no actual moments, there is only one eternal Now.
Then why Does our body progress according to momemts, days and years .
sai krishna the assumption that the body progresses according to moments, days, years is a false belief.
Time doesn’t exist, this is proven scientifically and more absolutely through direct experience. Try now to go to the past or the future, it’s not possible because it doesn’t exist. The past or future is just the current thought that you are having now. Now is not linear now is eternal. You have never experienced time, you experience Now.
Just ask yourself these questions.
Have I ever known more than one Now?
Can I step into a past or a future?
Moments are a belief, they are not actually true to experience. Now isn’t a moment it is the presence of eternity.
Activities rise and subside presently and this change, this evolution, this impermanence forms the illusion of time. Time is a mental construct, a tool used to help navigate life.
You are eternity knowing expressions of yourself presently.
Forget what you have been taught and witness experience as it is because experience is the test of what is true.
Activities arise and subside within an eternal Now.
You are an immortal being creating a human experience, Now.
Thank you so much for everything you do for everyone.

Me: I see what you did there.
