@Leo Gura By contemplating reality, you mean that you contemplate the metaphysics or include all the human stuff there too, such as emotions, fears, stuff like that. I'm trying to integrate this into my life as well, but mostly what I'm interested in contemplating is directly linked to my survival, like emotions, traumas, planning the future, etc. I guess that depends on where you are in life, and how much contemplation and development have you done so far.

@Leo Gura The difficulty is that work, survival, being human, and social life take so much energy, time, and resources that existential truth-seeking becomes hard, or sometimes irrelevant, or even counter-productive. I guess if one really values truth, it can be done by designing survival in a way that allows existential truth-seeking easier than most humans can. What actions would you consider taking during the truth-seeking phase? I'd guess, daily contemplation on different aspects of reality, maybe some meditation and yoga practices, occasional psychedelics, and occasional long retreats. How and in what form would you fit truth-seeking into your schedule, if you had a full-time job at the office + commute, went to the gym, had a social life, and all that stuff?

Even in that dream, God could awaken to itself, right? And if it could, then it would realize that it's dreaming, so Christianity becomes relative again, isnt it?

@Leo Gura Will your Awakening course still revolve around psychedelic use? And if so, will you be talking about those dangers?

@Javfly33 How much time do you think is necessary to more or less achieve what you describe? Like a year or two? Also, when I do asanas, my mind is very distracted. As I understand, awareness is critical during the process. Am I right?

@Leo Gura Please do it, it's always refreshing to challenge our fantasies about how things work. You plan to do a separate episode on that, right?

@Leo Gura How did he do that? Was he born with some of that?

@Leo Gura Okay, thanks

@Leo Gura You said in your traps video that meditation can only be effective if you do it for a long periods of time in a retreat kind of a setting. Would you also say that regarding Kriya? Or you consider it more powerful than regular meditation?

@Leo Gura Where did you learn it from?

This is an animation I made couple months ago, and it has AI voice. It's also a pleasant and unique one, but still, AI. https://elevenlabs.io/ You can generate quite human like voices with elevenlabs voice AI

I think he also uses AI voice-over.

What should I, as a basic programmer making a living with coding, do? And there are so many just like me

@Leo Gura Did you restart your Kriya routine? Do you still find it useful after all your awakenings?

@TheSelf Can you tell us what you did in more details?

@Leo Gura Do you still use psychedelics? Or you're also taking a break from that

@Leo Gura How can you handle that emotionally? And in general, what are your ways to accept the fact that you've been stressing, that looks matter more than you thought, but you don't like aspects of yourself.

@Leo Gura Why? In what way

@Ayham Oh thanks, this is helpful

Hey guys, I have one question for those who practice the Supreme Fire technique from Santata Gamana's book. He says first to inhale, and then do the abdominal lock (Uddiyana bandha). But as I looked up online, doing proper Uddiyana bandha requires first exhaling all the air (lungs should be empty), and then doing the lock. But here he asks us to inhale and move the energy up first, and then lock the belly. How do you guys do it?

@Leo Gura Do you think that's doable when you have full time job, also trying to build a business on a side, plus have spiritual practices that you spend good chunk of your day on and some other things? Going out 3-4 times a week needs a certain lifestyle already, don't you think?

@MAHAVATAR_-_BABAJI Thanks for your answer. At the moment, I don't feel my spine much, and I don't feel that energy at all. It's been only a month since I started the practice. Is that normal? I just try as best as I can to visualize some current pumping up and down with my breath, and piercing through the places where chakras are supposed to be.

Hey guys, I have one question, during Kriya Pranayama breaths, when I move the energy through the chakras, should I concentrate in the spine, on the chakra point itself, or it's posterior ksetram (on the skin on my back, where the chakra is supposed to be). The author didn't explicitly say that, but I intuit that I have to concentrate inside the spine, on the chakra itself, not its posterior ksetram. Thanks

Those ase so addicting, its like perfect escape when mind wants distractions. I wasnt able to disable those on my phone, Vanced didnt work either. But the same problem also exists on Instagtam, I cant disable reels either. But I visit YouTube much more then Instagram so Shorts are bigger issue.

@Leo Gura Do you talk about that kind of dangers in your new upcoming Awakening course?
