As a mod Leo will give you a room to live in in the private residence he has built for mods on his mansion property. There you will have a private chef who will make and serve you all of your meals free of charge, with only the healthiest and highest quality foods, with meals such as Leo's super healthy vegetable soup as well as Leo's super healthy blueberry smoothie. You will have access to the highest quality drinking water and there will also be regular heavy metal detoxes. All living expenses will be paid for. You will get free access to any psychedelic you want and Leo will personally guide you towards accessing mouse-God consciousness whenever you want. Any girl that Leo brings home from the club, the mods get seconds on her. You also get access to Leo's large assortment of halloween masks to wear whenever you want, including the pylon hat as seen on Leo's instagram. The mods are treated with upmost respect and will live a life of luxury on Leo's estate, however there is no salary on top of that.

I don't know If they have this where you are but here they sell containers of pomegranate seeds already peeled and everything, but its really expensive

I agree, I saved that last paragraph that he wrote. I love how he basically says that you can do whatever you want and he’s not telling you whether you should drink coffee or not, just be aware of what coffee does to you and make sure you do everything you do consciously. This leads to a person making the right decision through their own understanding and conscious choice rather than just because they are blindly listening to someone.

I love them but they are so much work to peel apart and take all the white shit out, and they are messy too.

I feel like the worst thing is that an easy path that allows you to put in minimal effort and just coast by in life even exists. The fact that putting in no effort to do something creative and make something of your life is even a viable option for surviving and making it through life, it makes sense that most people would take that easy route because there's nothing stopping them from doing it and they don't have the wisdom to see that the easy route will just make their lives worse in the end. If you never had the option to take the route of the easy life and you just accepted that to do more with your life you are you are going to have to face more challenge and difficulty and be much more strategic than most people, it would just be the norm for you and you would get on with it. It's like what you said in your old episode 'motivational speech for building a passionate life' about how we as a society are disconnected from survival, and it makes us lazy and soft, and the best thing to do would be to get connected to survival again and go on a hero's journey, because that's how life is meant to be lived. By having the option to not life in this way, of course most people wouldn't do it. If you made a firm decision to reject the easy life and just accepted that life is hard, your life would be so much easier and go so much better in the long run.

@Ulax I agree, spirituality most often becomes a method for avoidance for people with mental health issues. Those issues should be worked on with psychology knowledge and proper healing techniques, and then spirituality should be pursued after that where it will no longer be used as an escape.

@AtheisticNonduality That's funny asf?

Is there any harm in taking drugstore medications for sicknesses, things like cough syrup, tylenol, ibuprofen, things like that? Are there any chemicals in them that could potentially be harmful?

I suspected that these medications may have harmful chemicals in them which is why I asked this question here and why I refrained from using them this time when I got sick. I did some research and I got similar answers to what the people provided here - that they are okay in moderation but frequent use isn't recommended. I'm curious how you research these types of topics, I feel like you get more out of it than I do. How do you know there are toxic chemicals in these medications? I didn't hear anything about that when I researched them. Are you researching the quality of the ingredients in them and that's how you know? What kind of questions are you looking up if you were researching something like this? What about if you find mixed opinions in your research, how do you know which to go with?

@flowboy @Yarco @Michael569 okay thanks guys. I'm currently sick for the first time in years. I'm still living with my mum and she's trying to get me to take all this medicine and that made me wonder if it was really safe or not. So far all I've really had is a cough candy, otherwise I've just been doing what I can to take care of myself like resting and all that and I'm recovering fine. I think in the future I will take medication only if I feel like I really need it.

Because real spirituality is the complete opposite of survival. It's very difficult work that leads to annihilation of self, which is the last thing most people want. Therefor it takes a lot of wisdom to pursue it seriously, never mind all the work it takes to first get to the point where you see that awakening is real and is a possibility.

I took a DNA test with ancestry.ca years ago. I've never met my dad before and I didn't know exactly where he was from so I wanted to take a DNA test. Turns out I am 43% Indian, 7% South/Central Asia (Dad's side) and 29% Welsh plus a mix of English, Scottish, Swedish and Norwegian. I knew my Mum was Welsh but I didn't know about the other countries.

This is spiritual bypassing just so you know. You're using some spiritual truth to try and avoid your emotions. Even if you become conscious of solipsism, you still have social anxiety and whatever other emotional issues may come with that (self-esteem issues, trapped shame from childhood). Becoming conscious of solipsism doesn't resolve those, it just covers them up. Resolve your social anxiety on a human level first, where it still seems like other people are real, then become conscious of solipsism. Don't use it as a crutch.

Nas was crazy good, probably my favourite. Biggie had probably the best flow. Big L the best punchlines. I loved Mobb Deep and Gang Starr too

At the very least at least we got some info about GTA 6 after waiting for so long. It sounds like the map could be based on the state of Florida, which i'm super psyched for because I always wanted a newer GTA game to be based in Miami, but I didn't think it would happen because they already had Vice city. I hope they add crazy Florida man mechanics like NPCs shooting at hurricanes and things like that lol. I wasn't planning on playing more video games in my life but if GTA 6 is based on Florida then it will be very tempting.

@LSD-Rumi Yeah, it sounds similar to how the self-critic works. When a person constantly criticizes themselves and talks down to themselves, its a part of them that is replicating what parents or other people have said to them early in their lives for the sake of trying to keep them from doing anything wrong, to keep them from being shamed or disapproved of by people, and as a result keep them safe. This sounds like a more severe and extensive version of that. When you talk about the negative emotions you're experiencing that also sounds like a part of you that is really hurt and is crying out for help. You say that its OCD. I don't know that much about that so i'm not sure exactly what it is that you have (if it's more than just what you described of lots of overwhelming negative thoughts and emotions), but what I do know is that its generally a good idea to treat any kind of mental or emotional issue with the assumption that your mind/every part of you is on your side, its not trying to hurt you, and it is doing whatever it's doing for a good reason. If you don't understand why your mind is doing this or what positive intention it could possibly have, just know that odds are that it truly isn't trying to hurt you, and it will make things much easier for you to deal with if you see and approach yourself and your emotions with this assumption. This way you won't be fighting yourself and trying to eradicate this part of yourself and instead you will be a lot more compassionate and understanding. There is probably some deep healing that needs to happen, but developing compassion towards these parts of yourself, releasing resistance to them, and not thinking of it as a disease/something wrong with you is probably the best way to deal with it in the mean time.

Your mind must have some sort of good reason for doing that, I doubt that it's just trying to hurt you. It would be interesting to explore that through the lens of parts work or IFS

Didn't you say something a while ago about how on 5-MeO your sexual fantasies become so real and vivid that they are as good as or better than real sex? Or something along those lines?

Yeah I might try doing that instead once i'm able to

Over the past few years I have been staying up all night and sleeping during the day. I much prefer being awake at night and working then because I love the dark and peaceful atmosphere. I feel like it's perfect for inner work. I've been going to bed at 6am and waking up around 2:30pm. I'm concerned about it possibly being unhealthy to do this. I've done some research on if this could be bad for my health, and from what I heard it seems like getting enough sleep and sleeping at the same time every day is the most important part, which I do, but I've heard varying ideas on if being awake all night and sleeping during the day is actually bad for you. I have noticed that I wake up a lot while I sleep which I never used to do before, although I don't have any trouble getting back to sleep and I feel well-rested when I wake up. The room I sleep in is dark but there is some noise throughout the day because I live with other people but that should change when I eventually get my own place. I'm wondering if anyone on here knows much about sleep and if it would be bad for my health to continue to sleep like this?

damn right

I'm more drawn towards being in nature but I also really love the utility of technology. My ideal situation would probably be living somewhere out in nature, but not too far from a town so that it's not hard to get food and whatever else I need. I would also have my laptop and phone and anything else for the sake of doing my work, but I would try to stay away from distracting things like video games, entertainment, social media (other than for work) and things like that. Technology can be really helpful for doing inner work because it makes it so much easier to write down and organize insights, it gives you access to the internet which can allow you to learn so much, and you can use technology to save you time and make things easier so you can spend more time on what's important. I think its just important to not get carried away and not get sucked into all of the distractions of technology and modern society. I would also love to be out in nature and away from people, as it is so much more peaceful and I think so much more conducive to doing inner work. So in my opinion a balance of nature and technology is ideal.

I agree, I love the trip report videos
