I will be appearing on a technical science podcast soon. It is run by academics. Probably within a month. We are still scheduling. Should be interesting. I already had a friendly chat with them and it went well. They ask good skeptical questions. They are materialists but openminded. I plan to be doing more interview appearances this year across various channels and platforms.

Yes it is valid. I do KP1. Without Kechari Mudra.

I cannot be as bold in interviews as I am in my normal videos. This would freak normies out. I need to be more chill and gentle, otherwise people will just dismiss me as a crackpot. The tone is crucial. People judge interviews by tone, not logical content. An unhinged tone is suicide. So I worked a lot on softening my tone.

No, this is a mistake. You can't open people's minds like that. They will immediately precieve me as an enemy and close their minds. I do everything possible not to make their ego feel threatened. The discussion following the disclaimer will be wild enough. Don't worry. The disclaimer is to soften the wildness that is to come.

Meeting a new girl is always exciting. If it isn't exciting something is wrong. Take it easy man. Don't compare yourself to someone who has 10-20 years on you. Everyone started at 0. You should be excited. And try not to be so crass about it. "Fuck her" << this is a bad attitude.

Yes, exactly. Gamana's books give very clear and simple techniques. The Stevens' pranayama technique is also very good. You already know it. Just do it!

Yes, typo. Sorry, fixed it.

Yes vape. Chewing it is gross and tends to work poorly. Sublingual methods never worked for me with psychedelics so I stopped trying them. Chewing would be excessively mild. I vape pure Salvinorin A, 1mg at a time. Clean as hell. 1mg is a full trip. Nice! Glad you dived in.

This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.

Sadhguru tells that story. Sounds like Hindu tall-tales. Yogananda wasn't exactly a light eater. You could make up some cock and bull story about how he was eating to keep himself grounded. Or you could just say dude was fat. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. There is no contradiction between being Awake and loving junk food. Junk food tastes good regardless.

Look how they butchered my boy!

There is no such thing as behaving well outside of Forum Guidelines.

Post interviews, I pushed him a little too hard in private for Awakening. I was hoping he was serious about Awakening so I spoke to him accordingly. I wanted to personally help him Awaken. Never assume someone is ready for Awakening work.

That would be such an advanced state that I don't think anyone has that. Certainly not your average yogi. A human cannot function at the highest states of consciousness. There's just no way you can be that conscious and still do daily activities like eat food, clean your house, or read the daily news.

Yes, I can do that. Although recording video really burns up my laptop. Not ideal for me. For the Curt interview I recorded myself with a pro camera to give him sharper video footage. Not streamed video.

At mild doses salvia is excellent. But it is so easy to overdose it. An inexperienced noob will definitely overdose and have a freakout.

For the same reason I would still take a psychedelic even after I've realized God. You can always discover deeper aspects of God through tripping or meditation. Also, yoga puts you into blissful states of samadhi. They may like basking in those states. That's what yogis are known to do! If you're gonna be a yogi, you might as well bliss out when you can. It's really no different than taking a psychedelic to unite with God, just done manually.

Sure, but it is gross. No one is going to sustain a diet of insect meat. They are minor snacks at best. It is easier to get people to just go vegetarian and eliminates all your ethics issues.

20. If you take a high enough dose. Have you done it?

Of course. But this assumes a level of sexual self-control that few men have. In order to treat women properly the man must not be starving for sex. That is a tall order these days.

He does not respond to me. I think I offended him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe 2-3 years in.

I put it like that from their POV. That is how they see it. But also, I do have a worldview. Everyone has some worldview, even if you are Awakened.

No. These are decent people and I will speak for myself. They will just be asking questions about my worldview. The only misrepresentation possible is if they cut out parts of interview.

Yes, of course that is huge. Although psychedelics can also demotivate yogic practice because no amount of yoga will ever be as potent as 5-MeO-DMT. Psychedelics did slow down my manual efforts. But the cost was worth it. Psychedelics give crucial understanding, insight, and experience that cannot be gotten any other way. Yoga cannot give you that depth and variety of understanding.
