@Martin123 :D

All I said, was that I think projections are necessary in life, and that Leo's point that projections are 'bad' is not correct, and everyone turned what I was saying into 'hate speech' and 'a problem with me'... maybe Leo is right. and @Martin123 I'll argue with whoever I disagree with , there's no American hierarchial respect matrix in my non-American brain. @Tancrede Pouyat I'm just curious, what problem did I project?

@bazera he's telling us to stop projections, which is a non-sustainable move to make

So in the past, my dreams were to be extremely successful, i.e. make a super successful business, become super famous, and earn lots of money. And I've already put a lot of time and effort into this, by participating in many business pitching events, working with business to build solutions to mundane problems(just to fill up my resume with as much as I can because you know, SUCCESS). But after doing some serious meditation work, this dream and goal I'm working towards is slowly revealing itself as an ego trip, rather than a deep true intuitive urge. The more meditation I do, the less loud the voice of the ego becomes, and the more loud the voice of intuition becomes, and consequently I'm struggling to continue with my long held initiatives. I use to see the money driven, neurotic attitudes of the people I was pitching to as just 'apart of life', and the myopic hollow drives for my business partners as just 'being professional' But after meditation, these attitudes are slowly starting to make me sick, after seeing the power of the present moment, I am starting to feel really hollow by surrounding myself in these environments. How does someone, pursuing this sort of personal development, tolerate such egoic environments without feeling hollow and meaningless? When starting a business, it is almost certain that you will be surrounded by money driven individuals.

Imagine all of the people who have died on this planet, and just before they completely died they all said "OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY INFINITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

@Leo Gura that might be an extreme case of Depersonalization disorder

@Leo Gura Alright thanks Leo, I'm fine with getting my ass wooped, as long as I don't develop any serious permanent mental disorders; I'm ok with depersonalization etc but not schizophrenia. I'll do Kundalini again tomorrow,

use distractions -> whenever you get a thought for example about killing your mother or running into a bus, distract yourself with another stimuli like looking at birds going past, or switching your attention to something else you did in the day. You can also start singing to your fav song. Switch to something positive -> Whenever a completely stupid thought comes up, try and think of the opposite. So if you are worried that you are going to get a disease from a guy who just breathed on you for example, IMMEDIATELY think of the opposite: tiny chance that will happen, I wont get germs etc. Meditation -> This one works the best for me, whenever an obsessive compulsive thought comes up, focus ALL of your attention to the sensory world(colours, sounds, etc) and just keep intensely focusing on it.

Is there anyone here who lives in Australia? If so please private message me! I'm planning on making a fully fledged meditation retreat, one purely involving deep self inquiry, without all of the buddhist, hindu, christian, islamic, etc dogma. I'm planning on making it a week, but if you can't come for the whole time that's ok. Depending on how many people I'm able to bring, I will release the date that we plan on embarking on the retreat, it will be around december to january. Again please PM me! I'm so excited for this hard core retreat, if you're interested reach out!

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Leo was giving shit to someone who was only meditating for 20 mins a day, and it was suggested that the individual should meditate for 10 hours per day. To be honest, I kind of agree that 20 minutes of meditation per day doesn't really do anything. I have been meditating for a long while now(30 mins a day) and I haven't seen any benefits(if at all) or even any changes to my perspectives of life. And when you look at how people meditated back 2000 years ago, they spent literally all day meditating, and it still took them heaps of time to start seeing through their dogmatic bullshit. So is there any point of meditating if you are only going to do it for at most 1 hour per day? Or is that time spent meditating much more worth while spent in reading personal development books, or homework or something? It doesn't seem reasonable to spend 1 hour or 30 minutes of your day on meditation if the benefits obtained from it will only start to arise in like 40 years or something.

@Ry4n NSW sorry

@Xpansion Hi Xpansion, true Buddhist retreats are good, but the ones I have been on include sessions where you need to learn about what the buddha did, and like the 5 principles of life, etc. Really meditation can do that to people? Its just meditation? Its not dmt lol. Are you sure they were directly caused by meditation or was it the person's personality. @Leo Gura Yeah that's true, I must not have been clear enough, this was an informal hangout where I was going to do meditation with like minded people, kind of like camping with each other.

I thought it would be a great idea if all of us as a community post our answer's to Leo's worksheet he gave us for his latest video. From my experience, beliefs are so hidden, and deceptive in our minds that sometimes it can be hard to even acknowledge or identify them. Though if all of us post our answers to the worksheet, other people's answers might guide ourselves to look in areas of our mind that we might have totally forgotten, or areas that are so deceptive or hidden, that we wouldn't have even thought of otherwise. I didn't have enough time to finish mine(have a test tomorrow) but here are some of mine: Some of my pet theories are... - Donald trump is a good guy - Gravity is real - That thing is a helicopter - The belief that I believe everything - The belief that freedom is beautiful - I believe in space - I will be a successful business person in the future - I will get a high mark for my exams in 3 weeks Some things that I know FOR SURE are... - That’s a pen - I am a truthful person - Enlightenment is going to be the thing that makes me fulfilled and happy in life - I do not believe in gravity Some beliefs which would be ridiculous to question are... - Santa clause, tea pot monster, there’s an alien under my table are all real, my parent’s think that meditation is stupid - Sun isn’t going shine tomorrow - The world doesn’t exist - There is not an alien outside the front door - My parents are not from another planet - My homework is not fun - Some things that I believe but haven’t actually experienced are... - The earth is round - That mars looks the way that it does - Felix thinks im an idiot - That enlightenment will give me happiness - That success will make me happy - Some assumptions necessary for my worldview to make sense are... - Everything is made of matter - That I exist - Space exists - That the world is physical - Cells exist - atoms exist - there are stars outside of our solar system - fire is burnt from heat - Capitalism is the best system and better than communism - my parents' love is real - social justice warriors are evil people Some of my meta beliefs are - I am a rational person - That I am aware of all of my beliefs - That I am aware of what leo is saying about meta beliefs

@Leo Gura Meditation isn't the only way to dramatically improve your life in deeply meaningful ways.... or realizing enlightenment.

@Neo cya later maybe after years of purification, you will eventually stumble upon that dogmatic, prejudice belief holding you back from using this natural miraculous medicine. Or maybe not, maybe you will be stuck in the stone age forever. Whether its stone age, or eventually coming to your senses, I wish you well.

@Wormon Blatburm its a lot safer than what you think it is. MUCH more safe than alcohol. And that's not me saying it, that's what facts say

you could ask the same thing about shrooms, why hasn't any big media group talked about shroom's ability to give you awakenings. But the problem is that it's illegal, and after the war on drugs, there is a huge (but inaccurate) stigma against drugs in general. it would not suprise me if it was proven that 5-meo-dmt was less dangerous than alcohol. Shrooms are less dangerous than alcohol: and so its highly likely that 5-meo-dmt is less dangerous than alcohol. Don't forget, psilocybin is similar to DMT on a molecular level. But people will still be against shrooms and dmt purely because of the bad stigma attached to it. Its the same thing as racism. Everyone once thought black people were stupid, but of course that is complete nonsense, like the stigma against consumption of natural drugs like cannabis, dmt and shrooms.

@Muhammad its not legal where anyone lives.

I think that's a little too pessimistic. Only 8 months ago I was an active supporter of the new athiest movement, and thought everyone who was religious was an idiot. I was so immersed in the matrix that I couldn't even understand the difference between duality and singularity, until I watched your spirituality video, which almost literally cracked my brain open, and made me see the footsteps of the ox. I think a lot of people on here are like that, you dont really need to suspect that you live in the matrix, just need to watch the right videos

@Davie Ty's basic premise is inconsistent with reality. He says that hippies and buddhist look within, that's not true. When you meditate, you aren't looking within, your looking externally. You're empirically investigating what you see, hear and smell. Yes you do investigate inner stuff like thoughts and feelings, but that's only half of what you investigate. And Ty wants evidence, has Ty noticed that there actually isn't ANY evdience that the physical world exists. Take a ball for example. How do we know that ball exists? Because it's made of atoms you say, now lets take an electron microscope to figure that out. Yes the electron microscope shows signs that atoms exist because the electrons bounced bounced back into the electron microscope, instead of going through. BUT you can ask, how do we know electrons bounce back when it hits objects? What law says that? If you keep tracing back to the very fundamental laws of physics, you will notice that the physical world is built upon a bunch of arbitrary beliefs. These beliefs put into practice are known as the scientific method: when something in our awareness is repeatable, can be seen by others and occurs over the same conditions... but you know what the crazy part is, these laws are completely arbitrary. What evidence is there to prove that something has to be repeatable? Why do others have to see a phenomena the same way for it to exist in this world? Computers, phones, construction sites, the physical world in general don't exist in the way you think it does. They are all constructs in your mind generated by a firm assumption in the scientific method, and in the physical worldview, and there is no evidence to prove that the monitor or phone you are looking at now exists in the real world. Even from a physical perspective there is no proof that your phone is real. If all you have seen is through your eyes, then you have never seen the real world before directly, and if you haven't how do you know it exists in the way you think it does. And also, Ty has to realize that success != trueth. His arguments at the beginning of this video fall into this fallacy, even his own worldview proves him incorrect.

So recently I took 5-MeO-DMT, but only 7.5 mgs. Time doesn't really exist in that realm, but if I had to convert the experiences I had, back to this real world, in the middle of my DMT trip I experienced(literally) hell. The hell felt like it was going to go for eternity, My world view was literally imploding. It wasn't just the ego that was burning itself at 1000 degrees C, but my entire world view. There was no satisfaction, no happiness, just pure suffering. You know how people say when you reach enlightenment, you become pure love, well in that trip, I became the exact opposite -> Satan. I became pure suffering, I was suffering itself. This experience was ridiculously horrible, and it felt like I was going to be there forever. I do of course take spirituality seriously, and would like to experience god in full force at least once, because I believe the wisdom gained by that experience would help me, but man the pain was ridiculous. How do you guys come into grip with accepting such a horrible state. What do you guys say? What relaxation techniques can you apply to a state where you can't even think? Thanks peeps.

@Naviy wow! My experience wasn't as bad as that! Now I'm really scared!

@Friend sorry meant 7.5 mg +- 0.2 mg, I used a digital precision scale, and my method of ingestion wasn't snorting, because I'm not sure how to do that. I vaporized the material at the same temperature you vaporize normal DMT.

Thanks guys, I realize that the dose I took was too low, my objective right now isnt to reach god, its to develop an ability to handle ego death. Thankyou everyone for your responses.
