It for sure can be healing especially for men who work hard and have not the culture for higher things. I see this in the work cultures I am surrounded by. Also, it can be good sometimes with friends and family. I’ve seen it open up people to be merry. Though, it is poison in and of itself I suspect in some cases the other chemical changes it can inspire can outweigh negatives when consumed rarely and in good spirit. I personally don’t like it, but this summer have loosened up a bit as I am around it in my work camp. But, I don’t like alcohol.

Sometimes my loving presence can really change people. I simply observe this, as unregulated folk calm, and their eyes brighten as I listen and accept them and their pains.

@mmKay I do like some horrors. I don’t know what it is? It’s because it’s not real and it’s interesting to see. I don’t know why. Overall, I would say I don’t like them but we are seeing some really good scary movies coming out that balance humour, scariness and concept that make a good overall film, like Weapons. Weapons was good.

I really enjoyed this one.

@Leo Gura Also, I think I can become a good philosopher as I get older too. Perhaps better than anything I can imagine because I found you in my early 20s.

Hey Leo, Just wanted to say thank you again for your work and the time you take to respond here. I recognize I at times take that for granted. Your work has helped me a lot I think and I see myself becoming a man people enjoy being around and that brings wisdom, safety and kindness where he goes. I am seeing how those around me appreciate this and it’s meaningful. I know your work has grown me, and showed me wisdom that I can learn from. I am far from perfect, and I’m aware of this at times more than others. But, I think your teachings to me and my own unique expression of love reverberates through others who don’t even know you.

When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten You can't pick very much cotton In them old cotton fields back home It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten You can't pick very much cotton In them old cotton fields back home It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home In them old cotton fields back home

Don't you cherish me to sleep Never keep your eyelids clipped Hold me for the pops and clicks I was only for the father's crib Hair, old, long along Your neck onto your shoulder blades Always keep that message taped Cross your breasts you won't erase I was only for your very space Hip, under nothing Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun Just have to keep a dialogue Teach our bodies: haunt the cause I was only trying to spell a loss Joy, it's all founded Pincher with the skin inside You pinned me with your black sphere eyes You know that all the rope's untied I was only for to die beside So it's storming on the lake Little waves our bodies break There's a fire going out But there's really nothing to the south Swollen orange and light let through Your one-piece swimmer stuck to you Sold, I'm ever Open ears and open eyes Wake up to your starboard bride Who goes in and then stays inside Oh the demons come, they can subside

What do rocket launches have to do with spiritual truths and teachings? Bezo’s, Musk? Prime example Musk launches rockets but shits on empathy. Mohammad couldn’t read but taught empathy. Sorry, your post on your blog is a bad take and a lower perspective…..even though it’s intertwined with a higher perspective.

@Leo Gura There is a distinction for me between truths in the texts, high quality aspects and then BEING a Muslim, and WORSHIPPING or idolizing a text and teaching. However, as you sort of acknowledge in your post there is value in these religions. Islam to me, is more advanced a a teaching than Christianity. Even if aspects of Islamic culture are less advanced. The teachings that God is One, is infinite, to remove all idols, to pursue contemplation and regular silence and connection to God, this is advanced! Even today!

Ultimately, it wasn’t my mind that understood this heart of Islamic teachings. It was my Heart. It said, I see you. I see God here and my love for all humanity, for all creation. I see how Jihad is the pursuit of Truth and Love. To be a good and moral person, to purify the mind and heart and to connect to God’s grace everyday by disconnecting from the survival we do everyday to reconnect with God. I learned Islam doesn’t worship God to please God. But, to connect daily to Gods love and goodness that is offered freely and without bias to all humanity for those who take the time in silence and prayer. His eternal empathy and understanding of the infinite goodness which is given to all beings. The common unity in infinity, the Heart! Regardless of identity, past, or present. God loves you far more than you are generally aware. To himself from himself for himself and for no one for everyone for the one. Simply because that’s God’s nature. Why is there suffering? God knows something which you currently do not know. Now take this with your 2000 years of advancement and build bridge to the heart of everyone….without dogma, without needing anything in return. Take Ralston, Pure Philosophy, and Integral Metatheory, Qigong, krya, Heartmath Coherence, etc etc etc… I felt empathy, compassion, forgiveness, love, and friendship.

@Leo Gura I don’t need Islam, but it exists. There are truths there which I’ve plucked. Also, as human I must admit to relying on other humans for sense making. How is it I watched all your videos and did 5meodmt yet found value in an audiobook on the heart of Islam? Is it my love for God and all humanity and seeing that this book has value? The teachings have value? Realizing not everyone is going to read Peter Ralston? I am lucky I was born where I am and with the brain I have because I realized I was God before I was ten but I didn’t have anyone around me to confirm this and I shrugged it off. I doubt everything. My mind makes errors and I am humbled by the complexity of existence and I’m unsatisfied with my sense making. There are things in Islam, which it says about God which are true which I have not heard articulated by those not from this background. As a human I only have other humans knowledge to draw from. I can’t explain these things here in this casual post. The highest Truths stated supposedly stated by Mohammad are true. I don’t really care about the package it comes in or all the survival stuff, like how Muslims are muslims in their culture. There is deep and mundane truths in Islam, but it’s not the only source that is true. We have so many good books now days and yes we are more advanced than Mohammad and his time. I can see your point here. These texts are conformity. Yet, humans are fractal by nature and I can see the power in that for common people. I see that as valuable in the storm of life. The age of information we are in has just been birthed… so, we have no examples of highly advanced minds yet. If something is true, it should appear in any text even 10,000 years from now. Anyway, I’m not satisfied with my understanding, my awakening, etc I’m not satisfied with yours either nor that of Islam. Pure Philosophy, is the best framework of any human I’ve come across and which you created. Anyway, I’ll take this to myself to think more about. I need to get messy here and Socratic for a bit.

There is some form of integral meta theory framed cognition that could be applied to all of these texts, combined with awakening and deep epistemics and holistic view where a new “True” religion could be formed. There are things stated in Islam which will be also stated in a book 4000 years from now and much which would be discarded. I really find it cringe people at that level of sticking to the bible, as some great text, or the Quran, or the Tao te Ching. However, I personally have a Tao Te Ching which I enjoy contemplating on. But, I don’t rely on it. I really can’t say what I’m trying to say!!

Ignorance of a thing is not a higher perspective! At the same time, I can see how education can show you what is and isn’t worth reading and without cultural significance the bible isn’t that valuable. I’ve met assholes who study the bible lol There are better books and the minds stuck on the bible are self decieved and myopic. Even with your deep understanding of God I think there is wisdom in Islamic scholarship and in the Quaran. Personally, I’ll never read these books either. But, I have this audiobook on Islam that’s essentially multifaith which for me was inspiring as I compared it to my trips, actualized, etc… To me this book brought a higher perspective on Islam where my mind goes meta and I see in it something profound. Oddly enough I felt connected to God in a sober state from this Islamic audiobook, it was profound. Does that mean anything? I am contemplating. A good feeling doesn’t mean it’s true I can’t really articulate my point. I don’t really care about the text or the religion as a whole. But, I see truth and wisdom in it. Both in my own life and, especially for ancient man. There is just something rubbing me the wrong way about what you say. I am not a religious person so I guess I am biased in a weird way of finding gems where I find them. There is something in the core of Islam I feel, is very true… but I can’t articulate it you gotta get the insight I had. If Islam wasn’t Islam there is something I see. “Notice, the only reason those books are deemed important is conformity and cultural narcissism. There is no other reason. The only reason humans think those books are important is because everyone else does.” There is both truth and falsehood in this imo. I’ll contemplate this.

I turned 30 now I’m fat and bald. Life is good.

My video request is a video.

@Majed Like, 2 months from now you should be sharing with us your song. Rappers don’t make money from reels, really they make money from selling tickets. Being on streaming services is a good way to get known and prove your music is good. You promote it and get stats. I’ve been promoting my songs and it’s cool to see people save them, listen to them more than once etc. People don’t listen to reels, really they listen to songs. 1. Actually release music. 2. Actually get on stages. I am creating a sequence I will follow to enter into prolific high quality output and promotion of my music for the coming years. I share this with you because people don’t pay people in patroon for music generally. If you wanna do this you gotta sell tickets, gain actual audience through streams. Set a date right now, and the 5 steps you need to release the song. Execute on this.

@Majed I challenge you to finish a song and put it on streaming services. Save money for an album cover and to put it in play lists. Do this first.

Stand by me.

Highly doubt that… Reminds me of the book Oryx and Crake though by Margorate Atwood. The depiction of various survival schemes such as small villages selling girls into sex work is dark. This happens to a main character. Very Dark book, it’s also very good as it covers to much about science, society, art, apocalyptic themes.

@Iblitan Sure, but it’s not enough. You won’t learn marketing from Leo, or business, and it isn’t direct experience or results

You need to be good, AND understand marketing and business. I’ve been applying bits from 100 mill dollar models series by Alex Hormozi. Really, guys. Leo has early works and the life purpose course but he isn’t really focused on success anymore. People like Alex Hormozi, Brendan burchard etc is content for you and me. I am boot strapping right now and J see early results. I’ve had many setbacks and failures along the way. Still, I’ve sang my song from open mic’s to festivals. I’ve taught Qigong classes in person and online and had sales. It’s not a living yet, but its purpose and passion and impact. Helping people with Qigong , and music.
