Thank you all so much. I am so grateful. I am supplementing those 3 currently! Also magnesium and zinc. Would you recommend bloodwork for those other deficiency possibilities? I could get it done easily. Personallabs.com is 115 dollars for comprehensive bloodwork. @Calcifer THank you greatly. I will watch all those videos. Funnily enough I am interested in understanding raw veganism too so thanks. Looks good, added to my prospective reads list. What!

I went, it was so cool. People were talking about spiral dynamics and Ken Wilber. Met a bunch of people

I'm just worried about things like B12 deficiency and stuff

https://www.livingfuel.com/the-super-meal-you-can-drink.html This seems like a really good alternative to supplementing with pills things like b12, minerals, vitamin c, probiotics, red wine stuff, etc. From the website: More metabolism-boosting and body-sculpting protein than a half dozen organic egg-whites More body-slimming and appetite-controlling fiber than two bowls of organic steel cut oatmeal More immune-enhancing Vitamin D than ten fillets of arctic fish More mood-boosting Vitamin B-12 than 50 servings of raw organic cheese More free radical destroying Vitamin E than one pound of raw organic almonds More bone strengthening calcium than two glasses of organic whole milk More heart healthy potassium than two organic bananas More energy producing vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients than ten fresh organic green salads More healthy antioxidants than ten bowls of fresh vine-ripe organic berries More brain-building Omega-3 than two cups of organic edamame More youth-enhancing resveratrol than four glasses of red wine More gut-beneficial prebiotics and probiotics than 6 servings of yogurt More digestive enzymes than three whole organic papayas More stress relieving Vitamin C than seven oranges Should I get it? Specifically the greens one its vegan non gmo organic seems really high quality. Seems better than this:

Excited to hear about your business. It does sound like you have a good amount of yellow, at least in the cognitive line. If so, you could still look for a girl who wants to evolve into embodying higher levels with you, and cognitively understands yellow. In my experience, this kind of thing just isn't gonna rub off on most people, and that's fine. Keep talking to people. Go to ayahuasca retreats and meet people there, rather than meeting people and taking them to ayahuasca retreats. Don't drag others into it. I've found a few people who are interested in spiral dynamics, and only one who is now seriously studying it. As far as dating goes, I have completely failed to meet a green girl who is transitioning to yellow, or higher, I've only found blue orange and green ones, who don't seem like they will just move to yellow because of me. I think it is just because of the percentage of people in higher stages is lower.

If you do that, it would probably not be harder than going from no retreats to your first retreat. Or from wherever to the first 10 day vipasanna. If you use the guitar, just make sure you don't let yourself stop being mindful. In my experience it's better to not push it. If you can do a ten day retreat with food, do that, and master that. You can get a lot out of it still. Let us know what you decide to do!

I currently eat a fairly healthy diet, lots of fruits and vegetables, meat, nuts, etc, with few exceptions. I do intermittent fasting & OMAD(One meal a day) often. However, I know there is much more to this, and I want to really optimize my health with things like fasting especially, heavy metals, I have thought about going vegan, probiotics and stuff. Online there is just so much information, and it's hard to really implement anything. It is disorganized. What books do you recommend? The ones on Leo's book list don't really resonate with me much.

I think that for me, in the first year or so of watching his videos, starting like 3 years ago, I had so much to learn. Like, just look back at how you used to be, if you are in my position where this content changed everything and everything you know. Now, there is nothing left he could teach me that would have as big of an impact as learning about enlightenment and meditation. What is left is for me to learn whatever technicalities I want to, which I do through books, and to work on embodying what he teaches. He has taught the big picture, and now it seems his videos are meant to help people embody what they know, so of course it won't be as mind blowing anymore.

Wow! After more research, that book looks amazing. I ordered it!

Thank you! Will look into these and get one

@Actualized Disciple Beyond the Aquilla Rift was my favorite too. Rewatched that ending a few times lol. I think that one helped me understand furries. twas cool tho

hmm, I guess I feel like I already have this kinda down. What I think I'm really looking for is how veganism works, and how to do it properly, maybe something about permaculture, and heavy metals and other topics of that nature. I will and have done my own research on this, just hard to tell which books are 'good'

That's a good question. I haven't found an answer as to how much they help for when you are sober

Are you Leo's brother? crazy stuff.

it feels like the meditation is doing itself. effortless

I fill up large glass jugs from an RO machine at a grocery store. This way I don't get plastic in the water, or waste any. I remineralize it with pink Himalayan salt. Works great for me.

Raw veganism seems to work for some people. I might try it

@Clearheaded are you here to sell things?

That's great, as long as it's mixed with proper ecosystems

Biggest downside of Bernie IMO. He is against it, although not explicitly psilocybin

Hey, I'm 17, and in a very similar situation to you. I'm going to university for psychology next August. Your overall perspective reminds me of myself in some ways. I am way less certain on life purpose though, however, I have made a lot of progress and put a bunch of time into it. I appreciate your attitude, I aim to be a positive as you about the future and my potential! Anyway, on this paragraph, I resonate deeply with the idea of doing both simultaneously. Currently, while I am meditating a lot and all that kind of stuff, I am putting about as much effort into the 'secular' stuff, like life purpose. I have thought about going all in for spirituality, even skipping college to go meditate all day somewhere. Ultimately, especially after a retreat, I realized that that this was a kind of spiritual bypassing. Avoiding building an excellent life purpose and relationships and filling my lower needs would lead to a shallower awakening, and really wouldn't work. This is at the very least the conclusion I drew, I hope you find it helpful.

How else are you gonna do it and not fuck up the circadian rhythm

I've noticed how powerful kriya yoga is totally depending on my level of consciousness. If i am busy and mindless thorughout the day, it really does nothing, and it is hard to focus. If I am somewhat mindful throughout the day, it works good. When I was on a retreat, it worked insanely well and was more powerful than any other time.

I'm reading The Religion of Tomorrow by Ken Wilber. In it, he describes his shadow work process of 3-2-1 or 3-2-1-0 I've been doing 3-2-1, where basically you find something that bothers you or the opposite, which is an it, 3rd person. you then talk to it, 2nd person, then reown it, 1st person. Yesterday I did this with a person that bothers me. At the 2nd person part, it became clear that they didn't deserve so harsh a feeling from me. At 1st person, it became clear that this was a part of me I didn't like. At that point, I decided to practice self-love. It seems to me that the best thing to do at that point is love that disowned part of the self. I did it just like this method

What do you guys think about going to Naropa University for undergrad?
