The Blind Sage

Buy Leos book list-best goddamn investment I've made. Start with the beginners Kriya Yoga textbook in his meditation section.

I will purposely only be eating fruit (not even going to drink water). I feel my body is much more alive with fruit. I'll give a water fast a try as well sometime though.

Thanks, I'll try it man

Absolutely, the changes are physiological as well as psychological. I have a lot more clarity and mental focus which has great carryover to EQ. I also have a lot more energy and for some reason my body naturally wakes up earlier now-as a result there's a lot more balance in my life as its brought balance to my daily routines. You get what you put into it though. On days that I lazily do the exercises I don't feel like it was that much different to when I was meditating with a mindfulness of the breath technique. On days that I do it with full involvement it feels like you're micro-dosed on a psychedelic afterwards. Lastly though its just less boring than mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness gets a little dry after 30 minutes for me. But with Kriya 30 minutes goes by very quickly.

What I've noticed is that watching Leo's videos makes me frustrated and angry at the world. Although incredibly powerful for inner growth, it has a tendency to make me overly intellectual and stuck in my head when relating to others. I've always thought of Leo as lacking 'that special something' when compared to the charisma of a mystic such as Alan Watts, Rupert Spira, etc...That is until he came back from his 30-day retreat. There's this little glint in his eyes that sparks that same feeling of presence now. Obviously nowhere near the same degree as those I mentioned above but Fucken christ, the man's moving into turquoise!!I Leo if you're reading this, I'm genuinely happy for you. You're a lot more authentic than you were before and it really shows. I cant speak for anyone else but I would be a lost puppy had I never found actualized.org. You are a beam of light in this dark age, thanks for everything.

YES SIR! I've nailed down a Kriya practice (holy shit it's strong) but I'm only 20 so the next decade will be about my life purpose, emotional healing, studying the theory, a little bit of ayahuasca+vipassana retreats here and there and just generally constructing an authentic lifestyle. I'll start the hardcore seeking in due time. I'll catch up someday

@Matt8800 Cheers brotha

Could you share the resources you found to learn all of this please?

Elliot and Leo have by far been the most influential people in my life. Even though Elliot is charismatic and empowering, I feel he's become somewhat myopic in his views and his understanding of the spiral is poor. E.g, he views Donald Trump as an 'Alpha male' when he's really just exhibiting signs of stage red. Not to say that he isn't an incredibly wise man. He is. There's plenty to learn from him and I would love to be a part of his grounding camp after I finish university. I just feel he's gone a bit ideological with his ideas of masculinity vs. femininity and alpha male talk. There's something off...I cant exactly put my finger on it but something ticks me off about the way he carries himself. Look at his second London real interview for example. #breatheintoyourballs

Hi forum, I'm from a country where psychedelics are illegal and I have very limited access to safe and good quality ones. Please recommend any places that offer psychedelics as a healing/spiritual modality so we can all have a list of the best places around the planet. so far I've found these places: https://www.rythmia.com/?fbclid=IwAR10_EdrM3WH5vCd-rQrircSxQMWXHEnIXlVtMfPm4OkRrb2Xs6EdFsmt-g https://www.ayahuascafoundation.org/?fbclid=IwAR30NYk3SmXspfui-8ntnExNUf6EwjAgWgX7_RykBH7o_FV_gHj8M9t74tA https://soltara.co/?fbclid=IwAR09l_NP3MygOM2u5MhNU40huE1jxGdllXrkAmwcsaXftG6d2INTusQIrcU

Leo's already covered this topic: Enjoy ^^

I will add it to my list, cheers mate!

If reality is infinite-shouldn't the levels of embodiment also be infinite? No matter how deeply you embody the absolute, wont there always be more to embody? If not, will personalities always have aspects of the old conditioned mind patterns? Context: I'm asking so I can put the 'personality' of an enlightened being such as sadhguru into perspective

Cheers guys

I'm currently a 20 year old University student studying abroad in Australia. The only psychedelic I have access to is lsd. The first 2 experiences I've had were rather disappointing. Although I felt an increased ability to observe and be present it wasn't anything too profound. I felt as if though my brain was fried after the experience-it was utterly exhausting and overstimulating although enjoyable. To put it clearly, if it wasn't for Leo I would probably think they're a waste of time/only for a fun experience. I'm not sure if there is something wrong (either something I was doing or lsd is the wrong substance) or if I just need to keep going and be patient for results. I could order different psychedelics off the deep web and experiment for myself, but I'm afraid of the legal ramifications if I get caught as I stay in a University accommodation and have no other place to send the stuff to. So I'm stuck with lsd for now. I'm quite inexperienced with psychedelics as you can tell. So I wanted to ask you guys: Is LSD good enough for spiritual purposes or would a tryptamine be more suitable? What did it take until the psychedelic yielded some tangible results (aka gaining an insight) Just to reiterate; this post is not about the sourcing of psychedelics-only if lsd is a good enough psychedelic to work with in the long term.

The title is pretty self-explanatory. Could you please share your binural beats resources forum, thanks

I'm aware that there are books on your list specifically about these techniques, but for many of us there are much more practical books to read that are much more foundational. I currently have a daily meditation routine but I would like to add Kriya yoga to it. I will eventually read the books but in between now and when I do, learning a few basic techniques would be fantastic.

Hey guys, I'm 20 years old and have sucked with women for my whole life and have a low self esteem and fear of rejection. I really feel that this is a huge hindrance to my personal development journey as I just don't know how to: Approach girls Talk to them (create sexual tension) Lead the conversation to sex, and everything in between I'm motivated to become good with girls not only because of sexual desire, but because I feel I need to be disillusioned by sex and fulfil it as a basic need so I can focus on more important aspects of life such as life purpose and pursuing enlightenment. I've been recommended to read 'the game' by Neil Straus, and 'how to be a 3% man' by Corey Wayne. I'd really appreciate it if you could recommend me high quality books as there is a lot of low quality information regarding this sub-field of self-help. (Or if you've read the ones I've mentioned, advice on which books to read first?) Online courses and lectures would also be appreciated. PS. I realize the low self esteem is a separate issue that needs to be dealt with. This post is just for the purpose of pick-up though, thanks.

Just from Actualized.org alone the daily habits for spiritual seeking are: Meditation (Which includes do nothing, mindfulness, strong determination sitting, etc) Contemplation Concentration Self Inquiry Kriya Yoga Holotropic Breathwork I'm sure there's more but this is all I can think of I'm confused of how to balance these practices. Do you alternate between them? If so, which ones? At the moment I practice a mindfulness of the breath for 30 minutes daily. I'm only 20 years old so I have a lot of other important things to correct in my life before I can fully dedicate myself to seeking, e.g, life purpose, dating and relationships, self-esteem, etc. All of these things require other practices that must be done daily (visualizations, affirmations, etc). I'm also a university student. There's only 24 hours in a day and to attempt to do all of these things everyday would be madness. I'd really appreciate advice on what to focus on, thanks.

@universe That's some solid advice. Cheers mate

@Serotoninluv I'd love to experiment with mushrooms especially, but no dealers offer it in Sydney . The deep web's an option but I'm wary of getting caught I've been looking for a shrooms supplier for 8 months with no luck now. If only mankind weren't so fucking stupid to criminalise something that could be our saviour....fuuuuuu

The first time I took a single tab of what was supposed to be 160 ug The second time I took 2 tabs of what was supposed to be 105 ug each. A friend I took it with has been taking psychedelics for some number of years now. He says the experience it produced was not unexpected of the dose (for his trip). Also, I trust the dealer. I'm not sure how acid is produced so it's possible that I had a batch that wasn't spread evenly across all tabs? I apologise for not painting a clear picture, the acid was astronomically powerful but more in a sensory phenomenal aspect-to the point where I was drained by the end of the trip. But there was nothing 'spiritual'/metaphysical' about it at the same time. The most profound it got was a mental state where concepts lose their self-evidence for a little while. Not that that's something that isn't profound, but I was expecting to just be handed an insight just because I took a drug. After reading what people have said-I think I just need to be patient with the acid. I haven't done close to 1% of the spiritual work to begin to feel frustrated yet. I still have a lot to learn and the acid is probably just reflecting my crude level of spiritual development. I need to cultivate a practice of self inquiry.

@WorknMan The batch tested positive for an indole. Also, a friend who's experienced with psychedelics took a tab and claims it was good acid. Yep, pretty sure.

@Serotoninluv First Trip: 160 ug. I woke up before the sunrise and spent the trip at a park. I spent it with 2 friends. Most of it was spent observing my friend who was having a paradigm shattering insight (breaking his stage orange models). Second: 210 ug. I spent it near the coast with 1 friend. Most of the trip was spent sitting quietly observing the nature around us. Although I knew it would have been better to do it alone, I wasn't comfortable as it was the first time I had ever dealt with a powerful psychedelic before. Since then, I've watched Leos video on how to use psychedelics, and have also read 3 books from Martin Ball including 'being human'. I'll be tripping alone next month and this time I understand what set and setting is ideal.

Cheers guys
