@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.

@Nahm i I believe that he is not spot on correct bc psychedelics help you understand Consciousness better than any other method.

@Leo Gura Thank you.

@Nahm Why? Please elaborate.

Why does an All-Loving and Infinitely Intelligent God allow this?? Can i get a good explanation for this?? Even if you say that God is Self-Less and doesn't care what happens to 'it' that still doesn't solve anything. Because i don't experience being God and Self-Less at this moment. Nor do most people. Most people experience being a limited selfish creature. That creates a huge problem for us. All this clearly shows a God who doesn't care at all. A pure psychopath. Maybe God is Selfless and doesn't care. But me and most other people are not selfless. And nothing can be done about this. This a mistake in the design of God. Yes from my selfish perspective. But then again the selfish pespective is the one most people experience.

@Gesundheit I believe that you can come to peace even with illness.

@Nahm Yes it is an assumption and a projection but it's a true one. It is based on direct experience , after seeing how other people view the world.

@Waken If this is the case then ok, i'm fine. If i as God have decided to experience all of this and i am not just a victim of the circumstancec then that sounds good. But it seems like God is inevitable and that God didn't even choose all of this. It's like it couldn't be any other way.

@Someone here What do you mean by saying that reality is indifferent? Maybe these abstract questions do have an answer. How do you know that they don't?

@Javfly33 Yes i agree with you but didn't Leo say that God has no control?? If God has no control then he cannot stop imagining all of this..

I have been practicing holotropic breathwork every day for few minutes in conjuction with my "normal" meditation practice and it makes me feel great. I am also feeling weird sensations "in the brain" afterwords. Is holotropic/breathwork dangerous in any way ? What should i be aware of? Many materialistic websites refer dangers about hyperventilation. I don't know what to believe anymore. Thanks for your time.

@Moksha Sometimes i wish that there was no creation at all. This would save us a LOT of hustle and unecessary suffering. Now i feel like i am forever stuck in the mind of a God that i have no control over. Great!

Ok, so basically i've been watching 5-meo-dmt trip reports on YouTube and while many trip reports come to the same conclusions as Leo Gura, there are others which don't seem to get a genuine experience of Absolute Truth. How come is that? I don't get it. For example, in this video, both Joe Rogan and his guest took 5-meo BUT didn't realise/understand God. That's evident when you hear Joe Rogan say: ''we are in a Universal stew of particles". That is clearly a materialist position.
