@intotheblack That's why i am disgusted with all of this. And i would only date women who are above this survival Bs. I know not all women are like this. Some are above survival. Besides if you are with a woman who you know is with you for the money that's not fun for me. I wouldn't want a relationship so superficial.

@Preety_India I don't know to be honest. Can you elaborate on what you mean? Give me some examples.

@VirusOfTheCult Damn, that sounds cool. I hope one day to experience these kind of radical states of Consciousness. I always wonder How would i perceive life if i was Ramana Maharshi or some other very harcore mystic who lives in a cave for 40 years. These people's experience of life is so outrageous and so outside the 'normal' states of Consciousness that it's not even funny.

@Leo Gura This is radical! But i have experienced it on 2 tabs of LSD. I literally became Infinite. I became Infinity. I understood Infinity. It is very hard for me to remember it how it was . Sometimes i even question myself if it was real or just a mere hallucination but deep down inside i know that what i experienced that night was the most mind-blowing experience of my life. What happened that night was impossible to happen. I don't know how the experience of being infinite is on 5-meo or other psychedelics. On shrooms i always get the non-dual experience. I always become the table, the sounds, everything BUT i don't become infinite. That's the main difference i've found on a awakening. There is the non-dual component and then there is the Infinity part which i really wonder how it is on 5-meo compared to a massive dose of LSD.

I have personal experience with insanity. In my opinion it is When you believe very much things which are not true and being separated from God/Reality. It is when you give too much Authority to whatever the mind throws at you. Keep in mind that there is a low-grade form of insanity everywhere in our society. It is insane that we have homeless people. It is insane that people decapitate other people. It is insane how we treat other animals. It is insane how most of us live our lives. When we look at the dark ages we consider most of those people as quite insane people. When people look at the 21st century 300 years from (if humanity will still be here because we might even kill ourselves by that time) now they will consider us insane also.

@Leo Gura Very interesting. I want to experience other ceasing to exist to be honest. And i have some previous experiences of that nature I assume when you say that others will cease to exist, you mean a radical recontextualization. I am probably gonna still be able to see the shape of my mother or a bird outside .

@Inliytened1 I can imagine that for example Earth exists outside of my Consciousness. So when i die for example, and maybe reincarnate as an Alien in another planet the Earth still continues to exist. I mean that the Earth is maybe being 'held' by the Consciousness of God whether i perceive it or not. That's how i envision it.

@Leo Gura Does this mean that the bottle of water exists when i am no longer conscious of it? I was conscious of it few moments ago so i can assume that it exists or will continue to exist even when i die.

@Leo Gura I can understand how Everything is a hallucination But i don't understand the mechanics of how some things work. For example i 'feel' that there was a Big Bang and then earth. This Earth will exist even when i die and experience something else. I can understand that Earth is imaginary but still i believe it will continue to exist even when my body dies and maybe i am born into another Universe. All of what i've explained is basically what i don't understand and haven't reconciled yet.

@Blackhawk I like that :-)

Donald Hoffman seems to support a LOT many of the things that Leo has claimed. He is saying some pretty radical stuff in this video. Like that technically nobody is conscious. You brain isn't really conscious. He wants to create a Consciousness model. Check it out.

@Tim R 1. Because sexual desires can never be truly satisfied and lead to suffering in the end (from my experience). 2. This is a very myopic conclusion based on what? a study? Nope i disagree. No Fap does very much psychologically, spiritually. If you haven't gone celibate for over 2-3 months you don't really know what it does or not for you. Plus after 50 days you start having noctural emmissions which is great stuff. 3. NoFap includes not sex for me also.

@soularlight Good points. I am doing it because it helps me tremendously emotionally and physically. Also i like not giving so much of my power to sex. I am not against sex. But eventually it leads to suffering (at least for me). I experience less suffering without it.

I am on a 14 day fast now (Day 6 at the moment) and seeing great results overall. I've watched this video and this doctor is saying that you should avoid medicines and supplements while fasting . He didn't elaborate on the supplements explaining enough though. All he said is that they might cause complications to some people. Now my question is this: Is it ok to take a multivitamin while am i on my fast? If No please explain me the logic behind. Just so you know , i took some fish oil with 2 tabs of vitamins (While fasting) yesterday and i felt kinda 'werid'. After few hours my heart was kinda racing to 104 beats per minute. Now it is stabilized. Anyways now i am not taking any supplements because of this 'weird' experience yesterday. I don't know if the supplements caused this or maybe it was the overall stress of the fast. All i am drinking now besides water is some coffee(sometimes with lil bit of sugar) and some salt.

@aurum Thank you!

@Leo Gura Thank you! That was my Biggest Concern. That i may be causing too much damage without enough vitamins in my system.... On the other hand i am telling myself its just 2 weeks. What surprised me about fasting is The detoxification Part which is very very real. My breath used to smell like never before while fasting and now it doesn't smell the same way at all. Probably because i got rid of many toxins in my body.

@Leo Gura Ok now i got it. Thank you for replying.

@1:46:15 of this video Leo says basically that my Consciousness is an emergent property of my cells and that those cells are not conscious. Why is he saying that?? This seems contradictory to the old things he has said in the past.. I thought cells are the emergant propety of Consciousness. Also how do you know that cells are not conscious? Maybe they are. Taking into acount how intelligently everything works and how i am capable of understanding and knowing things. I assume my cells are pretty damn intelligent and maybe even conscious to some degree!

@Leo Gura Got it. Thanks!

I am also into fasting the last 4 days. Anyways i noticed Leo saying he is on the day 7 of the water fasting on his Holistic Thinking video. Then yesterday in his Blog video he was on the day 4. Which way is it? I guess there is an error or misunderstanding maybe even on my part.....

@cuteguy I tought there was only Consciousness with capital c....

Leo, i wonder what's your take on William Lane Craig (as a philosopher). Maybe you don't know him... But he is a great philosopher. He is also a Christian. His debates with atheists are very intelligent.

In this video Rupert claims that psychedelics do not get you any closer to your true nature because they just produce objective experiences. If you are interested in yourself all you have to do is to take the thought 'I' and go to its referend. He also claims that there are no degrees of awareness. Also he admitts that he has never taken psychedelics. He seems to have a bias against psychedelics.

@James123 Of course there is Infinity. I have experienced Absolute Infinity. WoW. Most mindblowing thing ever to experience.

@Nahm Spot on.
