Mastering the Body 

Eckhart Tolle really misses the importance of releasing. Lester misses the importance of mindfulness meditation. Given a choice between the two, I would choose releasing. Also, Lester knows more about the nature of reality--that this world is only a manifestation of our thoughts.

@@dianabarahona2233 Lester talks a lot about making the mind quite.

@@Daniel_TransformationCoach That is true, but he doesn't say much about how to do it, except to focus on one question. Eckhart Tolle goes into this more.

Also, both Eckhart and Lester can sometimes give the impression that embodied consciousness is not important, which can lead to many seekers going into spiritual bypassing and dysfunctional living. I think this has to do with them both being white males.... perhaps we could say, “privileged,” or at least having the luxury of not being responsible for or to others, for the most part. They can stop caring for their bodies or behave dysfunctionally in the world, and they are in a position where it’s acceptable.

I’d also say the same for Byron Katie. In a way it IS a form of spiritual by-pass.... but an authentic? form of it.

I do too.

I think it was in the late 60s

Somewhere between 1984 and 1990 because I was present with Lester in those years and took this discussion into my soul. It is a huge blessing to hear it in the flesh again after all these years

@@elianagilad1397 thank you for sharing this! What has your releasing journey been like over the years, if you don't mind me asking? And what was it like when you were with Lester?

@@iananderson567 What do you mean, what was it like?

@@elianagilad1397 have you released a lot since those days, did some of Lester's students go free, and what was it like being around Lester? He seemed like a beautiful soul.

Absolutely!!

Max Mitchell how is that going for you? Asking in respect and sincerity since it's also my intention to go all the way. Thank you.

Same question

Listen to what Lester says around the 21:30 mark

Questioner - Maharaj, you are a realized being and yet you seem to be attached to smoking. Nisargadatta - You seem to be attached to not smoking.

IT does Not Matter If u smoke😊

That's the best thing I have ever heard 👍🏻

Enzo you still take care of the body, but you come to see that you are not the body. And Lester's method causes you to love your family and the world even more so, as you're able to shed the ego. He talks about the fact that you don't lose things like family (not abandon them) as you go free -- and also that you see them as the All, not the limited mortal carcasses that we think we are.

No, they don't exist, and neither do you. God alone is, and you, I, and every being in every universe are different facets of God.

Can you heal the body? I know the answer is yes as Lester did. As did others. Although I am discouraged when some sages did not heal. It all seems a bit confusing but I do have faith. Thanks

@@dianabarahona2233 as Lester said “alone” = “all one!” We are THE ALL THAT IS! While the false self = the ego drops, we are one with ALL...so, they also exist, not as ego, but as THE ONE BODY of I AM!

ITS Not easy to be explanation..self discovery!​@@susan.8761

Thank you for sharing this. Really helpful. I am finding it quite hard to hear on the audio.
