@Serotoninluv Thank you sir, that is very useful. I used to be very skeptical of such things for a long time.

@samedm9 That's a good question. Yes, it seems crazy that someone could keep up a lie for 30 years. But think about this. There's this man, whose sole claim to fame is a story. If in the case that he is lying, what are the possibilities? One, he could come out and admit it's a lie, but what incentive does he have for doing that? If he publicly announced that the story was a lie, he would get an extreme amount of negative backlash, and will forever be known as a liar. It suddenly seems more reasonable that he would keep up the facade, at-least now he has a fighting chance. He gets invited to Joe Rogan, makes documentaries and stuff. This UFO stuff is very marketable, you can make money off of it. He definitely has plenty to gain - fame, money etc.

I saw him on Joe Rogan. If I've ever seen a more pathetic charlatan in my life, I'd be surprised. And of-course he manages to convince other dull-minded simpletons of his poorly-constructed bullshittery. All you need to do is look a LITTLE under the hood, and the story crumbles. Let me get you started - Bob Lazar claims to have a master's degree from MIT. There are no records indicative of the latter, but good 'ol Bob claims the government has destroyed it, a dumbass conspiracy theory by itself, but let us entertain that for a moment. The government has destroyed his records, okay, but where is his master's THESIS? Every M.S. requires one, either a thesis or a project report ... where is it? If the government has destroyed it, where is Bob's own copy of the thesis? Surely, producing it would suffice to be proof, right? But doing that would actually require genuine master's-level knowledge in Physics, which he doesn't have. So what's up with that? Government erased his memory? Men-in-black style? lmao

@Jj13 Well said! Apart from DuckDuckGo, I would personally also recommend StartPage (startpage.com) which is also a search engine. You can use StartPage If you want results from Google's web crawler, but don't want them to be personalized and privacy-invasive.

@Raptorsin7 I just follow Ryan Kurczak's Kriya yoga playlist:

@Panos Just take what is useful for you out of all this - the videos, the forum etc., ignore the drama and nonsense, and simply get down to work. That's it. All of this is free anyway. I personally have some skepticism with regards to the 5-MeO-DMT claims. But I choose to ignore it and cut Leo some slack because he is already providing us all of this amazing stuff. Note: When I say get down to work, I personally mean old-school Kriya Yoga/meditation/devotion. I'm not going to take psychedelics to awaken, I feel like they're some kind of 'cheat-code', and that God would be mad at me if I did that.

@Cykaaaa Looking back, yes it did sound very aggressive. I'm sorry about that. I'm probably just projecting my own frustration with my personal spiritual work on to other people.

@Serotoninluv Got it. As for Spiral Dynamics, yes, I completely agree.

You seem to be engaged in a lot of spiritual blabber-mouthery. You write a lot of words sounding very mysterious and philosophical, but you're just arguing non-duality here, which we have already seen before. I can see how non-duality can be a thing, but in the majority of cases, making a call to non-duality largely seems like a cop-out to me. The questioner has made a very simple observation - Spiral Dynamics may not be an effective model to capture 'stages of human development' (which seems to be very very complex btw). And the answer would be YES, of-course such a possibility can be true, given how little is known about the latter.

@Raptorsin7 I previously had some convictions on that, but now I don't even know what that means, or how I can measure it. My ignorance seems to be far larger and more expansive than I previously had assumed, to the point where it is terrifying, really. This is after I had certain 'experiences', after around 10 weeks of meditation.
