I am also interested in this, mainly because I dont believe in psychics, and its so weird that people I respect like Leo do believe in this silliness. But at the same time, I am poor and don't want to waste hundreds of dollars to have a charlatan disappoint me and prove me right.

I had a similar panic attack where my heart was pounding so fast I thought I was going to die of a heart attack, it was the scariest experience of my life as I was 100% convinced I was going to die, but I didn't. All I did was smoke a small amount of weed and was listening to spiritual music, whats weird is that I have done strong psychedelics before and all my trips have been so pleasant and beautiful.

Leo, this is what happens when you reply using sarcasm and derision on the forums, people do this.

You can call your experience a simulation, who knows, our biological bodies and perceptions may be a product of alien computing, but reality itself can never be equal to simulation.

I am open minded, but I am also skeptical. I believe in infinity, but infinity also includes lies and deception. It would be fun to believe in ghosts, but in my direct experience such events and tales are so easily debunked. Anyways, I just thought Id ask.

I don't believe any of this. Is there anything Crysty can do to prove her existence to me?

Or perhaps they are done by people who are also passionate about the subject matter and want to share love and wisdom with their audience? Dont miss out if Joe Rogan invites you, even if he is an insufferable idiot, you being listened will only push the world forward.

sensory deprivation tank, haven't tried one myself yet tho

This is why its important to have different spiritual teachers, Frank reaches to me in places Leo cant (and vice-versa), the same goes for Ralston and the rest of the gang.

Imagine you create a character in an RPG game, every choice the character makes is your choice, the playable character is just unaware of it by design. Its kinda like that.

If thats your main drive then all then all the more power for you. If someone tells you otherwise, then thats THEIR path, not yours.

Like Frank Yang says, awakening and being smart are independent things, you can become conscious of the nature of reality while still being a trump supporter. No doubt Connor has had a profound experience, as his best friend says in his video it doesn't seem to be an act. If guys like Jake or Logal Paul awakened right now, no doubt they would be acting very similar to Connor here. Which begs the question.. is the pursuit of truth more important than the pursuit of wisdom?

Funny because Leo actually asked him a similar question when he interviewed him, to which Ralston replied something like "there cant be a higher order because there cant be any more infinite than infinite"

Well that kinda happens everyday when we go to sleep. Each day we are born and die. And if you say "but we never really lose consciousness", the same can be said about biological life and death.

He lost his grip on this reality, I hope he is doing it for the views and the attention because if he is ACTUALLY being real then Jesus this is something that needs serious professional help.

He has said this several times, as do other teachers I know of. I think we can all agree that psychadelics point you into the right direction, but you still gotta walk there with meditation and self-inquiry. Otherwise you will mistake the psychedelic state for enlightenment which is a common trap.

Guess its like frank yang says, you can be enlightened and still be a clueless dickhead

Ill believe it if it happens to me, but so far all I see is scammers and gullible people

2020 wouldn't be complete without God opening an onlyfans account

Jesus christ, this is hilarious

looks like he had a rough year, hopefully he doesn't relapse into manic depression

Many nondual teachers say this, but I do not understand it. I don't feel like I am putting resistance here, I used to believe in free-will but Leo convinced otherwise in one video, I cant argue with solid logic, so yeah I am pretty much open to have my conceptions challenged and destroyed. But from my perspective Perceiver never existed sounds... ummm... stupid. I totally accept that I am imagined, and that everything I perceive is imaginary, a fiction, this flows well with my current spiritual growth. But "I dont exist" just rings nothing inside me but cringe. Fiction is "something" afterall, its a difference, a manifestation, therefor I am "something", even if I am not material. Unless this is just a play in semantics... if the only real thing is that which is unchangeable => nothingness. Then yes, I agree with this, but then I would not agree to relate unchangeable with realness. Isn't the point of nonduality that both nothingness and everythingness =true?

Wow thank you!, this made a lot of sense to me. So there is no perceiver, but there IS perceiving.

Like I said in my post, I have no problems identifying myself as fictional and imaginary. I also use videogame examples like yours when I explain some stuff to people. But to me, fiction is something, therefor it exists, even if its not "material". Ideas are as much a manifestation like you and I. I just think the phrase is very silly... it puzzles me when I read/hear it in an otherwise profound video or lecture.

The first television was invented only 94 years ago, look where we are now.
