Spot on. It’s a tough pill to swallow but so true. Within pain lies the greatest freedom. This is why I love strong determination sits, it’s just like a big “fuck you” to the part that wants to be comfortable and not face pain

Wow. Was just thinking to write a post to Leo for his latest video and this came up. What a synchronicity. For all the shit I see people giving Leo here and on YouTube I am saddened because he is such an amazing teacher and honestly presents the information in a more understandable way than even those considered the greatest sages. It’s so understandable and these topics are the hardest to communicate. Leo has given me so much clarity on what I want in life and what’s possible. It makes waking up so exciting and I never thought I could be this in love with life. I see a lot of other people involved in spirituality that just are missing key components of it because they don’t follow the right teachers. to have a high quality teacher is one of the luckiest things that can happen. I don’t know where to begin but I’ve been profoundly influenced, done life purpose, read a ton of the books on the list, watched every video some multiple times, done a Ralston retreat and vipassana and Leo has helped so much in my understanding and peicing together of things. it’s made me a person I never could’ve imagined and life just gets more and more exciting and fun. I wish I had more words to express my gratitude. But I don’t. What you’re doing is amazing Leo. Thank you ❤️

A great book for this exact topic is pursuing consciousness by Ralston. Highly suggest. it’s about mixing enlightenment with “self help”

@Vido Canada is a tough spot to meet women imo. I’ve traveled the world and met women from literally everywhere and I have to be honest, they seem to really be the most closed off and not tapped into their femininity. Also a bit of bitterness towards men. No red pill incel shit this is just my honest obseervation of Canadian women. That said, when tapping into your masculinity you need to drop the lovey high vibe nice guy thing. It’s def conscious but it’s not attractive, most women will find this feminine and repulsive. just look at it as an interaction. It’s so simple. You’re a man she’s a woman. You guys both like sex. Start talking and let nature run it’s course. Don’t get discouraged by rejection or if she acts weird. Be bulletproof in that manner, embrace rejection, revel in it. do day game, clubs are bullshit. Also try to find women into spirituality

@Mason RiggleAwesome man, don’t give up on your dream it’s totally possible

@Federico del pueblo thanks for the insights. I do try to meditate it through sometimes but I always just feel so drained after. I’ve even had nights where my heart is fully open and I just go spread love throughout the whole club in my own way. And I can’t sustain it for more than a night. @Leo Gura I think you’re right. Day game is a better option. I actually don’t want to give up pick up because I love women and sex. It’s just the club and alcohol scene that I’m getting sick of. So many douche bags. @Aleister Crowleyy I kinda feel like the most conscious sages really don’t get any pussy…but I think they’re just so melted into bliss and God that it doesn’t matter. It’s like they’re getting blown 24/7

You’re right. It was very subtle the way he said that. @axiom you are pretty spot on with this but I don’t know if it’s like “if you use chapstick you’re lips become drier” more like “if you use chapstick but also wash your face daily, your lips will be great” what I’m saying is if you couple the psychedelics with daily meditation (only thing that I think goes best with psychedelics) you can actually effectively raise your baseline without needing them. They are a tool.

@Jodistrict I also walk the path of shamanism but also mix it with things like meditation qi gong and reading. It all threads together in the end anyway. I live in Mexico and work with Peyote , Hongos, and Ayahuasca. My loves. Still holding off on Bufo because I feel like It’s not the time

I also have been pondering this. Right now my “practice” is to just sit there and breathe. I don’t focus on much and do try to change anything. I don’t know it’s super relaxing

@PenguinPablo right on bro, that’ll go super far in Latin America @JoeVolcano if you don’t mind me asking what’s your education? What do you do now? You need less than you think to live well in Latin America. Don’t get into victim mindsets.

@LeoX8 great question. It’s hard to say because the path unfolded in such an unpredictable way. But if I was starting right out of college I would immediately get a remote job then move to Costa Rica, Brazil, or Mexico and work from there. That way I’d be making US money but spending Latin. Invest all the money I’m saving in stocks real estate and Bitcoin, then when I feel enough is saved, retire. also in that time you can develop spiritually so you can ultimately handle something like 6-7 hours of meditation per day. Live with a spiritual community or in hostels and hook up with tantric goddesses. the key is to just make the leap and figure it out as you go. It helps to know people but it’s easy to meet expats in these places

Man you guys are just running circles non stop

Why? Because he doesn’t think psychedelics do either of those?

Just quit now dude, that’s going to drain your life energy and turn into a bitter person as you can already tell. It’ll take years to unwire that damage. 16hour work day is worse than slavery

@Jodistrict Eh not too sure about all that cult stuff. I’ll research it. Who knows? Maybe you’re right, I just know Ralston is def a master in this field and knows his shit. I’ve sat with him

??? ”some people wanna suck on toad juice” dead…

@Jodistrict I would be careful about discrediting Ralston so quickly. The man is a genius and has deep wisdom. He’s probably more conscious than Shinzen. Read the “book of not knowing” and “pursuing consciousness” and then make that claim.

You guys have no understanding of the power of semen retention. I can’t believe it’s even a debate. It makes such a huge difference in tripping but also just say to day being grounded and calm. It doesn’t mean NoFap or Nosex it just means learning to keep your orgasms internal and maintaining your sexual energy

The most effective for interacting with women for me have been LSD and MDMA. I connect so strongly to the feminine sensitivity and her experience. And we can connect so much deeper. But it can go badly if the environment is full of aggressive douche bags Bc your sensitive on that stuff and that energy will come right in. Also shrooms and dancing for hours, after this you will be so confident you can talk to anyone balls out. But you gotta really dance your heart out for hours and not give a shit what anyone thinks. Another good one is a Strong determination sit before the date. But sometimes that gets me too serious

Ralston calling out Leo on this exact topic. I went to a Ralston retreat and have been following Leo for years so it’s interesting to watch this play out. Both have changed my life dramatically so it’s sad to see they can’t agree on this but I guess it makes sense too.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if i had never come across meditation and the pursuit of enlightenment. Meditation has helped me grow in many ways and learn so much about myself and being, but sometimes i feel i am wasting my life chasing it too much. Yoga retreats, meditations retreats, books, youtube all on enlightenement and "healing". Do you guys ever feel the same. Would love to hear your benefits and cons of spiritual work. Mine are Benefits; More ccalm Cooler Grounded in myself More attractive to others More disciplined Sense of purpose More loving Less stress Less anxiety Less negativity More awe and wonder at life Cons; Lots of time spent trying to become enlightened Can be nuerotic about being the witness Disassociation sometimes and other scary spiritual eperiences like questioning my sanity and reality Money spent on retreats (don't mind this though) CONFUSION! The angst of not being enlightened and why do we have to struggle so much for it, seems like a sick game

I am on day 7 on retaining my seed, however, I have begun feeling a lot of excess energy and anxiety. Almost to the point of it making me restless. I am going to try and put this energy into exercise and meditation but my urges to masturbate are getting overwhelming. Any others here have experience with NoFap/Semen Retention? Is it worth it? I kinda miss porn haha, i know it is horrible for my mind, but would be lying if i said it isn't awesome, seeing any fantasy you could imagine live in front of you. My real goal is to be able to find a sex partner but i live a nomadic life, only spending a month tops in a place at a time which makes it hard to establish any lasting relationships. i also live in Central America/ South America mostly so there is a language barrier. All my friends back in the states have "fuck buddies" but to me it is more important to travel, but it would be nice to have. Pick up works pretty well while traveling but gets old having shallow one night stands. Maybe i can find a fellow nomadic female.

@Name i think it's obvious you are addicted to shit, it has clearly rotted your mind

ive been duked

@Kushu2000 you are clearly bitter, maybe awakening has not and will not occur, but let's drop that for a second. Through Leos videos and a TON of self work: -my anxiety is gone -i connect and sleep with tons of women -i never feel depressed -i have tons of energy (surf, gym, yoga, work all in one day) -i live in Bali and completely escaped the rat race -i live in a state of flow and ease -my emotions are calm -i am calm and cool -my diet is on point -no more bad habits -the ability to sit in meditation for hours -i have reached exactly who i have always wanted to be yesterday i cried in the ocean at the beauty of it all while sending my love to every being in the water. You tell me that is meaningless and that this work is a scam. Yeah okay, have fun bitching on the internet, maybe try to have an open mind and change your shitty attitude
