Me too. I used to have severe allergies, digestive problems and skin rashes since I was a kid. In the last years they were getting worse, I developed joint pains and much worse skin rashes that would not heal, and I found two things that helped - either strict carnivore, (which was a nightmare for me regarding sugar cravings) - and what I do now, which is eating the majority of my calories from carbs, BUT I need to not go overboard with the fats. I can even eat straight table sugar or juices, honey, etc simple carbs (things I blamed before for instantly making my symptoms horrible) and I feel great as long as I I make a minimum of effort to not eat too much fat. And surprisingly this way I don't really want processed sugar almost at all. Plus, an active lean body uses simple sugar much differently from a sedentary obese one. It was a lightbulb moment for me when I realized "unhealthy sugar" - chocolate bars, donuts, sprinkles, milkshakes etc. are just blobs of fat with sugar. 20, 30+ grams of fat per 100g, alongside those 30, 40+ grams of sugar.

Hm, I think it's possible your current human state of consciousness is still constructing false distinctions/dualities with - experience vs non-experience, arising vs falling, and untouched vs touched. What I see right now is that experience is, by definition, all there is. You say Truth remains untouched, as if that which is touched is not Truth. Isn't that separation you're making?

Ok well.. maybe try 5-meo a bunch of times and then report back? I don't know what else to say

@James123 I see. Sooo... Did you put 5-meo up your bum or not? 😂

@James123 Leo has made all these distinctions clear so many times. Maybe you'll get upset from me saying this, but to me it sounds like you are the one desperately clinging to this life, and projecting it somehow. And when you talk about Truth and birth and whatever it just seems to me like you're imagining a bunch of stuff. Like you're not distinguishing between your human thoughts and reality. If I'm right, all that is to avoid God realization. Cause if you actually would merge with God fully in the way the term means it, you would not call it an experience. Nor would you deny God. Perhaps after hitting you with that harsh way of speaking you won't wanna answer, but I'm really curious - how does your day to day life look like, especially in the aspect of - How addicted are you to substances or unhealthy habits? Perhaps it's not the case, and the language difference might have something with it, but your way of talking kinda reminds me of when I was severely addicted to weed and cigarettes and stuff like that.

Dude your humor is top notch I swear🤣

I know this has been discussed before, but this video just dropped and I was wondering how come someone like him doesn't think that accessing Truth is dependent on brain chemistry. Does he fail to consider that these tools need time and effort to get results? Does he not understand that all states are Absolute? I wonder what questions I should be asking, I'm kinda baffled to hear he did lots of psychedelics and still thinks this way 😅

Definitely interested

At some point he touches on how the new age tries to fit the golden ratio onto everything. For me it was a great example of how needing to believe something makes us dumb

I am kinda being silly, but actually dead serious: 1. Infinity 2. Infinity 3. Infinity 4. It sounds like your state changed into more Presence, but not nearly enough to understand what and why Reality is this way. You need to also experience breakthroughs into Consciousness, which are extremely, beyond profound. And many of them. No one breakthrough is likely to leave you with a holistic understanding, even though the experience may feel total and be extremely profound, due to there being "many facets of Awakening", like Leo puts it. Because infinity 😜 5. Infinity "I" can't "communicate" the ENTIRETY of infinity to "you", i can only tell you the word, and that points you to it, and hopefully you can use your consciousness to directly have all sorts of insights and breakthroughs into it. Godspeed

I think that one of the most important things that Leo is giving us, especially with this last video, is clarity on when we are serious about truth, or just beating around the bush of survival. Problem is, when i am not serious, i'll be the last one to find out, cause you can have a round table of insanely conscious spiritual masters telling you you are not serious enough, and still the ego is (you are) able to BS itself into distracting from that. A "healthy discussion" is ultimately about survival, not truth. Even meditating is about survival, unless it's done in a way that truly increases consciousness.

@Breakingthewall are you aware/do you agree you're imagining this structure, and it's relative openness? Cause the "structure" i see is an infinite one.

@kbone all good, bro! I didn't mean to speak quite as aggressively. Sorry for that. I had a stressed body that day, lol @Breakingthewall i think i can sort of see your perspective. It's just that we're using language and it's sooo tricky😆 because openness, closeness, spaciousness, and the other terms you used instead of love and nothing are also dualistic, no? The way i see it is that every single word has a dualistic nature, and every single "word", is a "thing" - and each and every "thing" is Absolute "proof" or meta-proof of Infinity. Cause there is no "thing" that is NOT infinity, Absolutely speaking. So to me, what you're saying kinda sounds like "no, infinity and infinity are misleading terms, i like to say that there is infinite infinity from where infinity is infinite, and then there is finite infinity, from where infinity is infinitely finite" Or something like that 😆 (i'm not trying to be mean btw) But that's why i'm like... "Huh?... Well, i'm not sure how to reply to that, cause i mean, it's not wrong, but to me that is also not right either"

I call it the Christmas Tree of Yes and No. Or the Tree of Paradox. It's an attempt to explain why explaining non-duality through language is so tricky, and why the ego gets so tripped up in technical metaphysical terms. So for ANY conclusion that we can reach through language (including this one), the following meta-answer can be applied: Yes. No. Both yes and No. Neither yes nor no. Both both yes and no AND neither yes nor no. Neither both yes and no NOR neither yes nor no. Both Both both yes and no AND neither yes nor no and Neither both yes and no NOR neither yes nor no. Etc, to infinity It's an attempt to explain why it's not enough to just hear the correct metaphysical pointers, such as: God is Love God is Infinity God is Reality God is Nothing God is Everything Etc Because spoken through language, there will always be a +1 to be added by the ego. This points to the ego's infinite capacity for BS and mental masturbation. God is Infinity. "Oh yeah? Well, then x and y are not God, because they are finite" The point i am trying to make is that even the very fact that the ego can deny infinity infinitely, paradoxically leads to infinity. Infinity is SO obvious, and yet the Christmas Tree of Yes and No applies even to this statement. And to this one, etc 😆 Let's have some fun with it, and i challenge you guys to apply the Christmas Tree of Yes and No appropriately: "Infinity is Infinite" Yes - uhm... Duh! No - infinity cannot be truly infinite, because by definition it cannot be finite, because then it would not be infinite - YES - within this circular logic, that seems to be correct, because we can force this twisted perspective, and NO - Infinity is paradoxical, because it MUST contain even impossibilities, things it cannot do and be, cause otherwise it wouldn't be truly infinite - YES - because by definition it also contains "must" AND "mustn't", things jt is forced to be AND NO because bla bla bla I already feel stupid and dizzy just for trying to engage with this kind of logic. So that's why i find it annoying to keep talking about non-duality, what this teacher said and what that teacher said. (Paradoxically i also love it) Because the whole fun is for everyone to access infinity more and more, and also find their OWN original language to express and dance AROUND these old timeless truths, instead of mindlessly memorizing more and more wordy explanations from various teachers. So if you come to me with a non-dual CONCLUSION, the Tree of Paradox applies, so INFINITY IS THE ONLY ANSWER, REALLY! And so it's ultimately obvious if your ego is getting tripped up somewhere in the branches of the Tree. (notice how even this can turn into an endless ego BS debate, even this can be used by the ego to pretend like there isn't an infinite Truth) But that's why i insist - there is ONLY Nothing, and Nothing IS Infinity, cause it's the Only ingredient that doesn't need anything to be infinite. You don't need fancy explanations of Creation! There is only Zero - by definition, there is only One Zero. (Because there is NO difference between one zero, zero zeros, 365 zeros or infinite zeros) "One" exists, BECAUSE that's what Zero IS - One of "itself" - One of it's Infinite Self. By the same Logic, that "creates" the illusion of 2 - Zero AND One. That's WHY 3, 4, 5 ... That's WHY Infinity appears also as infinite finitudes, and that's why Nothing is Everything. But the Truth is One - Zero. (Infinity) And perhaps the Tree can help some to see how inescapable and obvious infinity is. Final thought: Nothing is Infinity, Everything is Infinity, Zero is Infinity, One, Two, Three, all are Infinity! Nothing... But LOVE! 😆😆😆♥️

True flexibility is obtained in years, cause you want to get to the point where you can wake up and simply do the pose you want without warming up. That's acquired flexibility To be comfortable in the lotus, you need to be able to go beyond the lotus, so that the lotus itself is not your maximum. You want zero tension, especially if you wanna sit for long periods of time in one pose. Personally i just switch between a few comfy positions, mostly sitting on a comfy chair or couch. If you wanna increase flexibility as an adult, especially without having it as a child, i recommend the following resources: Range of Strength (Lucas Hardie) Emmett Louis (the splits wizard) Also for general spine health check out the GOAT - David Weck
