infinity/God are not thoughts.

So if everything is and isn't different perspectives, then the perspective that everything is below you both has and doesn't have some validity to it. Infinity can afford to be this paradoxical, right? How can a thing be separate from everything? Well, look - it can! But i get it, this is becoming perspective play and it can be unproductive.

@Nahm I see, so Ben is also considering Pure Empty Consciousness as the Highest form of Consciousness, or Infinite God Consciousness, but when in fact, that is the lowest form of Consciousness. And when he says at 59:08 that it HAS TO be done out of your own freewill, and that you can't give it away to a mushroom or to DMT he is simply stuck in a dogma, right?

Continue learning more and more and MORE. Don't ever stop! The part of you that is frustrated is selfish and wants to learn just enough to FINALLY stop learning. Put your love to work and serve others. (others=yourself) You are coming out of the beginner first few years and in order to stabilize and integrate what you've learned you must broaden your perspective even further. One way this is done is through contrast, that is why you are apparently getting in and out of addictions, like waves. Observe even more carefully and patiently! You are not in control, there is only Consciousness.

Not you average dopamine detox guru, this guy is really worth a listen.;)

@Shmurda I haven't worked with anyone one to one yet although i would like to at some point. Until then i try to live as that isn't an option (because yourself/consciousness is the guru after all) and research as many teachers as possible on my own, so that when i interact with a really conscious avatar i have really to-the-point and meaningful questions ready and enough consciousness work done that will allow the connection to be as smooth as possible.

You will NEVER fix these gut issues on your own. Work with a trained professional and figure out EXACTLY what the root issue is and take informed decisions. Here's a qualified guy that actually gets results: https://gojimanstore.myshopify.com/ And here's a video of his that explains a bit why you can't self treat gut issues.

This makes sense. I don't do it anymore, but there are people who have been drinking their own urine for 20+ or 30+ years and claim they are fine. i guess it's ok unless you have high heavy metal content in your body and as long as you have a clean diet but nevertheless it's unnecessary. I do think though that if you have to survive with no drinking water available, looping all of your urine for that period of time will drastically increase your chances of survival.

I did urine therapy for months. My conclusions are: -If you have bad gut health, it may or may not help manage problems. You have to find out for yourself. -If you have good gut health, you don't need to drink it. -If you have bad gut health, urine therapy won't fix the root cause of the problem. The only way to fix the root cause is to work with a competent nutritionist, take the tests, and take the specific treatment for your specific problem. Don't wing it with gut issues. You'll have to take tests like these: https://gojimanstore.myshopify.com/collections/test-kits Benefits of urine therapy (my experience): -I stopped using toothpaste and i only brush with a little pinch of baking soda on the toothbrush. It's enough to keep my teeth clean. And i used to rinse my mouth with urine for a few months. And what i noticed is that my breath didn't stink anymore. My mouth flora has rebalanced. Now, is it because of the urine, baking soda or just simply not using toothpaste? I can't say. But it's nice to know that no matter how much i go without brushing my teeth in a day, my mouth won't stink like shit when i talk to someone. (Even my morning breath smells ok, like not horrible XD) -Also, i found that massaging some urine into my scalp in the shower keeps my dandruff (which is also from gut issues) in control for about 4-7 days. Anywhere else on the skin it has a really good hydrating effect too. -Overall it's like a good open-mindedness and self-love exercise. Because urine is clean. It's not a waste product (waste products are going through the back door, the liver, and sweat), it's just a way for the body to temporarily store all the nutrients it cannot store immediately. But again, don't drink urine as a substitute for fixing your gut issues. Be smart.

No, it's the opposite. You have to "break it" whatever "it" is

Then he wouldn't have made the video :)) he knows that he can't stop us trying to "save him" or whatever. if he hadn't said that then he would've been spammed much more, i'm sure. But now we can actually have respectful conversations about this. And to me it's clearly a digestive issue, since the obvious negative response is after he eats. Is the Hashimoto's somehow related to those digestive issues? i can't say, really. But From what he said in the video, he didn't mention any specific gut tests besides the endoscopy and blood tests, heavy metal tests and whatever laundry-list of tests doctors typically have you take. https://gojimanstore.myshopify.com/collections/test-kits So for the third time, with the risk of getting banned/reported or just annoying you, @Leo Gura i'm telling you this guy really knows his shit. He actually understands the gut. You have the money, just talk to him and try these tests out IF of course you haven't done that already. The problem with bacteria that is where it should not be is that when the circumstances are less than favorable, they encapsulate and just stay there until they are fed again. These problems DO NOT go away with any amount of fasting, any amount of breathing work, or any "letting things heal on their own" trust me, i've been trying for the last 4-5 years, not even urine therapy, NOTHING works for these kinds of problems! So don't only take the tests, but actually follow Gojiman's treatment, don't EVER try to solve the problem on your own!

I just wanna start by saying that i am not vegan or biased towards t, it's just that this guy has really sort of cracked the code to this shit, because he treats vegans, and people with gut issues typically have problems eating fruits and veggies and plants in general, and vegans eat a lot of plants (duh) There are SO many possible causes gut issues that my conclusion from my own 5 year journey of debilitating gut issues and nutrition/health research is that only a really exhaustive gut check like he suggests is gonna get to the root of it. You can't wing it with these sort of things. I'm currently gathering money to take these tests. Look at these people that he has helped: There are more, you can check out his channel for yourselves. As many (oh, so many) other people, they were told that the varying issues they had were not treatable, that they would have to live with them and so on. And in most cases, doctors have no idea of what tests you should actually take, it's like we're in the stone age of gut health, really... Please be open minded and consider taking these tests if you have any persistent gut issues, and for the love of God don't self-treat these things, work with someone like Gojiman who actually understands these things!

Leo, the only thing i would have you try is a consultation with Gojiman. No dietary change, no supplement, just try talking to this guy on his site, explain to him how you feel and at least see if he can help you. He responds very quickly on the little chat window. I think by this point you have nothing to lose.

I just started following Damien Echols on YT and started reading Liber Null & Psychonaut by Peter J Carroll. Really interesting stuff!

@Leo Gura I am curious if you did the tests that this man is talking about. I am also curious if you would give him a try.

Just like there are 7 chakras, 7 notes in a musical octave, 7 colors in the rainbow, 7 days in a week etc. there are 7 densities of light. Every density has some ingenious, unique way in which the One knows itself. In the first density The One is asleep (the elements, physical matter). In the second density, the One is dreaming (plants, animals etc.). In the third density, the One awakens (human beings). The 4th density is all about love, the 5th is all about wisdom, the 6th is all about the balance between love and wisdom, and 7th density beings are basically with one foot in the Absolute and one in the Relative (quite unimaginable). We currently are in the 3rd density. What we call demons and angels are, in a way, our future selves, that have graduated 3rd density. The ones that decided they want to skip love are what we call demons. So they are not good or bad, they are just like the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Now, it is true that a spirit that is causing trouble is not necessarily a demon, it may be for example a recently deceased relative or loved one that is desperately trying to cling to physicality, but in my experience it's pretty tricky trying to figure out this stuff through this route, of understanding angels, demons, physicality, basically the feminine side of God. The mythology and symbolism side, if you will. I only starded researching this stuff after several awakenings, and all the notions i had beforehand only hindered my awakening process and created a lot of doubts and fear. That is ok, God knows what it's doing, lol, but my advice to @Jay Ray is to focus more on the masculine, eastern, non-dual, seeing through the illusion type of thing before dabbling INTO the illusion, if that makes sense

Get gymnastic rings, 3 kettlebells (16kg, 20kg & 24kg) even one is enough for the beginning, install a pull-up bar somewhere or have a place from which you can hang yourself and the rings from. Focus on a 1 to 1 ratio of strength and mobility sets and also a 1 to 1 ratio of pushing and pulling movements. Strengthen your joints, tendons & ligaments.

Spirits with negative polarities aka demons feed on your attention. So reasoning with them is only giving them more power, because you are still playing their game, they are still tricking you into GIVING your attention to them. They cannot posses you, they can only trick you into letting them posses you. Ego, like anything, has levels of complexity - gross and subtle aspects to it. Essentially, every "i" thought is ego, and you can't avoid having "i" thoughts as long as your body is alive, because at some point, "i" will have to eat, shit, drink, piss etc. Of course there are i thoughts that distract you from love, and that is what spirituality conventionally calls ego, and you can still have i thoughts being completely dis-identified with them - that's a "healthy", or awake ego - but when you are in that state, the boundary between the ego and everything else dissolves - you are aware of your Self, which is Presence/Love/God/Emptiness/Everything/Truth/Infinity, the you that doesn't change etc. So what you can actually DO is LOVE them. LOVE EVERYTHING! Negatively polarized beings cannot stand love, that's how they have to be in order to remain negatively polarized - so just love, love, love! And Loving kinda comes together with selflessness - you stop making the whole situation about you, and you actually make it about others - in this case, it's about helping those so called "demons" accept love (because they will have to sooner or later) - and the way you do that is through surrender - by actually having the attitude of "ok, i accept you staying as long as you like! If God accepts you being here, then i accept you too! I LOVE YOU!" But you really have to mean it authentically, and that can be tricky - because they will leave if you do that, but you can't do it while still wishing them to leave. You must learn to truly accept them - this means accepting the possibility of your insanity, and that relaxes you, because you can then stop that desperate trying to figure out if you actually are insane or not (because that's what you're actually doing, and that is the insanity, you are asking yourself if you are insane or not) and making things more impersonal, explaining things through demons and angels and shit can be helpful. But it's you, everything is you. There is nothing that isn't you. I'll give you one last point that helped me a lot, and that is recognizing that no THING, as unpleasant as it may be, doesn't block my awareness. No thing can stop me from being aware of the Presence that IT is happening in. On the contrary, EVERY THING can be used as proof of Presence, because no thing can be Present without Presence (does that make sense?) So if your Self is Presence itself, then it doesn't matter ego or no ego, demon or angel, they are all a celebration of the Presence that pervades and precedes them all. So move your attention on the fact that you are aware of something, not on the something itself. What you are can NEVER appear.

I'm from Romania and since i was little, i heard around me other romanians complain about how young talented folk keep leaving the country with the reason that it's shitty here, and saying that them leaving is actually the reason for why the country is shitty. So i was kinda indoctrinated, i guess, to think that it's bad/selfish to leave the country. Firstly i was wondering what thoughts you have on that. I feel like my main focus is deepening my Presence, and for that i don't need anything from my circumstances. But for my self-actualization and LP i feel that where you live and stuff like that makes sort of a big difference. I'm 24 now, and i really resonate with Leo's idea of not staying more than 5 years in any one city at a time. So i was hoping for some suggestions for some top countries in the world that i should consider moving to.

@SirVladimir Thank you. Reading your words i felt the Place where you were writing from. Namaste, brother!

I have this predicament of what domain of mastery to choose. Music is one of the few things that can gather tens of thousands of people together and make them all agree on one thing, and in my numerous darkest of times, the only, and i mean only thing that i had the energy/willingness to do was to pick up my guitar and play/sing something. I studied guitar in high-school and went to the music conservatory in Bucharest, but dropped out in my second because i didn't want to play classical music, i wanted to play bass, so that's what i did. BUT Then i started researching spirituality, psychedelics and sports, and when i look into the world, i see people that need to learn the basic maintenance of the body, how to take care of their spine and joints so that they're not achy all the time; i see people that suffer from digestive issues, just like me, and need guidance to take the proper fucking tests, not try to solve it by trying some fad diet, not to mention understanding the Self and stuff like that! Besides that, i see all the pollution in the oceans and in the air and shit, and i keep thinking what if music is becoming a distraction? Should i join an ocean-cleaning group and spend all my time cleaning up the environment? Should i continue on the path of becoming the best Holistic Health Practitioner that i can be? Or maybe i should drop all these "worldly" things and "shoulds" and work on joining an ashram and live permanently there in the beautiful nature, RADIATING and raising/strengthening the Planetary energy vortex ? And you know what? I'm only half-joking about the last one... i'm trying to see that every perspective is partial and being open to everything is SUCH a mindfuck! ... I enjoy both music and sports so much, but even after taking Leo's LP course a couple years back, i still struggle to chose one of them as my domain of mastery. It all started with music, and i feel like i stopped half way through. But now, i'm almost half way through with getting good as an athlete and as a trainer, and i feel like moving to another country for the first time is real close, and i want to know WHY am i moving. So how do i go about tackling this problem? The thing is, i notice some limiting beliefs around both of them, like for example in music i always hated sight reading, which is SO fundamental, and sure i can force my self to do it and stuff, and probably it will be easier than i imagine (i know how to read scores, i just never practiced enough to be good at it), and regarding sports, being sedentary as a child, i kinda missed the opportunity of exercising while the body was still developing, so that is sort of a big limitation in my mind, but i don't want to become some world class athlete, i resonate more with balancing just the right amount of fitness in my life in order to do anything for hours on end and not have ANY aches whatsoever in my body - because i feel like this is much more relevant for at least 80% of the population, not this bullshit "go hard or go home" mentality that you see in gyms these days...anyways, I will continue to train my body and research movement/health, AND play music regardless. I'm passionate about both of them. i think movement it's such a basic human need, it's like car maintenance. And music is my favorite way of expression and creativity. -But again, how do i choose one as a main theme in my life, a domain of mastery? -OR am i looking in the wrong direction? Maybe neither one is the answer, and my true purpose is just out of sight. -What am i missing in the way i think? -Should i base my financial independence on one of them while dedicating the rest of my waking hours to the other? -Am i just scared of hard work? -Or maybe i have more basic needs that are unmet, and i should focus on getting out of Romania and getting good with girls for a couple of years... Ok, i'm gonna definitely do that anyway but still, for the last 4-5 years i have been exploring all this stuff on my own, and i guess i've come to a point where i feel like reaching out, admitting that i can't do everything on my own and asking for help. i'm tired of pretending that i'm so selfless that i don't need anything. I'm young, immature, tired, sad, angry, lonely and scared! I have so much to learn! Yes, i am God/Love. I am eternal/eternity and ultimately, i have nothing to fear (except for myself, lol). I try to live that Truth as much as possible, like i said. But right now i am imagining THIS human puzzle that is constantly trying to convince me that it's "solved", in order to trick me into stopping, and goddammit it's so tricky, because it is Perfect and there is nothing to solve, and it's an illusion but that's just a perspective, that can easily be turned into a deception and into spiritual ego and HOLY SHIT it's so amazing and fun and awesome and scary and everything and ok i'm ranting now, i'm gonna stop. -How does this sound as a plan: Move to the Netherlands, go to music school, work as a personal trainer for money, there i can grow my own shrooms to microdose and trip regularly, have all the solitude and quietness i need, go out and talk to dozens of girls every week, and do that for 4-5 years and then move to another country, maybe the US or Canada or something like that? Won't i burn out like that? maybe i should drop the music school thing and by doing so i'm freeing up more hours for meditation and talking with girls and making my own music, maybe i'm limiting myself by thinking that i NEED to go to music school, and i just have to get some balls and do my thing and have faith in myself. SO MANY THINGS SO CONSIDER!!! But i'm gonna leave it at that. i am eager to read your responses!

Interesting point

I would stop taking calcium, it has blood clotting effect when taken as a supplement. I would also quit coffee altogether, cold turkey. I recommend everyone to take B12 as methylcobalamin. Use the cronometer website/app to track your vitamin and mineral intake. Don't rely on supplements. If you are low on any micronutrients, work on adding foods that contain them. Even for Omega3, i highly advise against fish oils, for many reasons. Try to eat ground flax seeds, soaked or ground chia seeds and/or hemp seeds for your Omega3's. If you insist on a supplement, choose one that comes directly from algae. The only other supplements i deem worthy at this point in my research are mushrooms, such as Paul Stamets offers (not affiliated in any way). Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Turkey Tail etc. They are amazing for the brain, like truly, truly amazing.

Static stretching will plateau pretty quickly. Flexibility is essentially a function of the nervous system. When you get a joint close to the end of it's range of motion, the nervous system activates the muscles surrounding that joint, preventing it to go past the point that it's familiar with. So the solution to flexibility is to strengthen the end of the range of motion of any particular joint. This channel is gold: Also, check out this:

@Maxman In order to give a proper answer we would have to have few hour long discussion. From my experience, making sudden drastic changes like giving up a whole food group, like grains, or going keto is very hard to adhere to, and produces food cravings and disorders. i advise people to manipulate the LEAST amount of variables possible, that produce maximum results. For example, the first thing i would have you try is to simply walk more, and burn more calories. AND NOT reduce calories! (assuming that your diet is pretty clean, as a vegan - meaning that you're eating your grinded chia and flax seeds, other nuts & seeds, vegetables, tubers, greens, legumes, herbs&spices and fruit) Do that, adhere to this simple "technique" of simply moving your body more, and then see what other tiny variable you can manipulate to make the next step. Don't try to lose the weight yesterday i spent almost 5 years trying to lose the weight fast. It got ridiculous!
