I think it's vital to INTEGRATE those mountain times into the city. That's probaly the best path. I usually do retreats then go straight to a crazy busy city like Rio to talk to girls and socialize. It's fucking perfect.

I think it's better to be in solitude and fulfilled than try to fit in somewhere you feel alienated

Not if you see it as God manifest. Yes, people may only be able to go to a "certain" level with you, but that is still fully 100% God (you) and there is no such thing as shallowness. That duality can dissolve (shallow people vs deep people)

Totally man. I've found that it is healthy to balance it out. Your mind is right in that and even in some Indian traditions, your younger years are for worldly things and pursuing enlightenment while being "in the market". It is only when you are really older like 60-70 you can drop off completely. I want to merge God Realization with this human experience and enjoy it as much as possible. I basically live like that. I spend 8 hours per day meditating and contemplating but i still hang out with people, go to bars, cafes, parks, shoot youtube videos, etc to still be involved in the world. That bliss and depth will always be there for you. Enjoy manifestation while pursuing Enlightenment, it only gets more fun. Try to master the manifest world (women, career, health, discipline, study, life purpose) That said, I do think it's important to have time (for me it's usually 3 months) of pure contemplation, solitude, and cosnciousness work.

Couldn't agree more. I'm done with this Goose Chase. Ultimately, it's one of the few things I disagree with Leo about. I think he's simply wrong. Along with thinking consciousness is limited to genetics and can't be developed.

Couldn't you say we never left Nopthingness? It was always the case

This is a great question that i used to get hung up as well. Think of it like this, the present is suspended in infinity. So it's always only Now, it's always only Infinity. Things are moving, there is moving in Infinity, there is motion. So if you bite your hand that only happened in the Now but after some moments all you have left is the memory of it, but it still happened in the Now, hence the bite marks. Likewise, you will be on your death bed in this exact moment. You may have a future concept of being on your death bed, but when you are on your death bed, it will be this exact moment, except things will have moved around and now your old and on death bed. Does that make sense?

Hahah, the Dream is so consistent that no one thinks it's a dream. Even the slightest glitch and they're losing it

That sounds badass, never heard of that before, super creative

My God! That's wild! Can we see it??

Thanks. I don't care too much about income or money, but I'd like it to be sustainable (2-3K/mo). I want to keep high integrity, and help mostly young men navigate these psychotic times and create a holistic lifestyle that integrates spirituality. Also, direct one on one coaching could be in the cards in the future. The reason is that this was my most challenging and confusing time of my life and if it wasn't for my mentors (including you) it would have been much more difficult and painful. I'm wrapping up the LP course right now and the high consciousness value I came to was "Peace" so ultimately the goal is just help people suffer less.

What would you suggest for someone beginning YouTube who wants to make high quality, in depth content and basic, honest, forward thumbnails, while competing against hyper-edited and popping in your face thumbnails? Just stick to my authentic style?

Are you sure you're not interested in her? Would be a big deal if you just had a conversation with her? That might dissolve some of this tension Visualize her having really bad diareah, that might help haha

I think the whole thing is kinda an actualized meme/joke , I wouldn't look to deeply into it haha

Interesting take. Ime , I don’t get that vibe from him. It seems like he does some pretty deep research and simply finds the correlating patterns between studies. I’m sure he is able to understand complex works and still integrate into his models. I do see what you mean with the sense of superiority in his models though. Like they are the “King Models.”

This is super helpful, thanks so much! It's wild how much goes into these things, beyond just having a good camera and mic. Cheers

For sure, ever heard of Renzai? Ralston, Zen, McKenna, all have this approach, but they are lacking the Heart, imo

I resonate much more with the more compassionate side of teaching but there is value to that masculine side. It's limited though. The Truth is Love, so it's feminine and i think some of those teachers are missing or repressing that loving side of reality or they just feel it doesn't help their whole "way of teaching"

Thanks man, any feedback is welcome. Cheers @integral I appreciate the feedback, I've heard that before and invested in a mic. Do you still feel it's poor audio? Thanks

Awesome, thank you for the advice!

Thanks so much!

If you truly study and contemplate that work, and make an effort to embody and contemplate it, you will be beyond theory, you will be awake!

Hey brother, can you elaborate on this? Do you feel it's too much modelling?

Wilber is the best in the field imo. If i could only read one author for the rest of my life, it'd be him. The more i study his work the more I'm amazed at his level of understanding and masterful way of explaining the highest spritual truths.

For sure, just look at Peter Ralston and how he used his enlgithenment to master martial arts
