	University is full of retardation, I avoid enrolling in it myself for precisely this reason. Often times you need to identify your love for something OUTSIDE of a traditional educational setting & OUTSIDE of a need of it being able to bring in an income. Once you can be sure of what is THAT THING that you love, then you can learn how to create a life around what you love that will also feed you. This is where the zone of genius comes in. This is where the signature strengths come in. This is where identifying your top 10 values comes in in instructing you how to live your life on a daily basis. Where what you do on a daily/monthly/weekly basis is just you fulfilling the top 10 values of yours that allows you to live the most happy existence. Connect with the essence of what makes you drawn to theoretical physics in the first place. Like, are you genuinely interested as fuck in understanding physics in your free time? What would be a project or problem in theoretical physics that you can genuinely get excited about? Try to identify what is it that excites you. Expose yourself to more experience here and allow yourself to deeply introspect into how it feels. Do not stall your decision making, do not be indecisive. Making the wrong decision will provide you the clarity you need on what the right decision is. Make a decision to pursue an activity that you think is aligned with your life purpose, and during the moments of direct experience and after, reflect on whether or not you genuinely align with this part of reality. It may not be just "theoretical Physics" But something more fundamental and broad to that.

	I think Leo talking about "What is Imagination?" or "How You Are Imagining Reality" would be so insanely powerful. I can imagine how tough of a communication that would be. But it could serve as some great pointers.

	Hey guys! Happy New Year! I hope you are doing well! And if you're not, I hope you are able to get back on track soon! (I sure as shit have been struggling to maintain motivation. Falling prey to my habits of vices and chasing the next dopamine hit.) What are you most excited to learn about from Leo this year? & What are your most anticipated pieces of content from Leo for 2024? Personally for me it has got to be: What is Clarity? Leo's Awakening Course Leo's Programming Your Mind for Success Course How to Bootstrap yourself. Some teaching that is going to help me massively deepen my understanding of God and Awakening. Some Deep Metaphyseal and Epistemological Topics! Those are definitely some of MY FAVORITE ones! ( I've HESITATED to make this post because of so many people asking Leo about what is he working on with his posting hiatus. To be clear, "trying to get Leo to post again" IS NOT the nature of this post, I just wanted to repeat the pattern of the last 2 years. [2023] [2022] )

	I have had a lot of success with shrooms. I have a couple DOZEN well documented trip reports on this forum. Just sift through my profile topics. Highest dose so far has been 7 grams. In my experience, Mushrooms are very ideal for facing fear of all kind. Very cathartic. Also great for mental Clarity. I will also note that mushrooms can work good for some people and be terrible for other people. You can become conscious of many things with mushrooms, but it is child's play if you are just trying to straight up awaken and become conscious of the nature of GOD. Use the 5-MeO-DMT/MALT for that. Also I will note my bias is very high with mushrooms. I've got over 2 dozen trips with mushrooms, and only half a dozen with LSD. I have lots more substances and dosages to explore yet.

	Date: October 5th 2023. Taken at 1:40pm Dose: 6 g golden teachers Lemon Tekked. Intention: How Do I Create A Driven Life? Here's My notepad, even after lots of cleanup, it's still feels messy, but I paste it all here such that whomever wants to read it can pull various valuable insights for themselves. ( I’ve noticed many times during my trips I’ve had a strong desire to meet Leo IRL. This is definitely a bucket-list item of mine. But I feel That I “should” put it off until I’ve got a lot of monetary success with my life purpose. However, with that being said, it would pain me to not meet Leo IRL at least once. I notice a fear of Leo dying before I meet him. ) Start of Notepad/ Report. 17 minutes in Visuals 20 minutes in HARD kick in. Hardest kick in I have ever had. Shrooms don't fuck around when you take a dose this high. 24 minutes Hard kick in. 32 minutes Hitting so hard 43 minutes So hard that it's like constantly in my focus. My direct experience is so intense. At this dose, I noticed a much higher level of intensity. Golden Teachers appear to be the best strain for serious scholars of reality. On this Trip, it was starkly obvious for me to become aware of the bubble of Direct experience. And how that is all that is. Adjust your fantasies of personal development and spirituality. I’ve noticed that people have fantasies of what spirituality looks like and also what personal development looks like. And as you go on this journey, you need to make a conscious assessment to adjust your fantasies such that your ideas align more and more with reality. This will allow you to pursue the correct things and also set the correct expectations. Create seasons for your personal development. Like “These 90 days we are going to tackle X problem with full force” God is THE MOST SERIOUS. I mean helloooo? Who do you think you're talking to? What is more serious than the creator of Reality itself? God is the creator of seriousness itself. I’ve noticed that to be serious about life, this is an emotionally difficult endeavor. Talking to someone while high that is focused on your trip intentions can help you articulate deep insights and bring it back to the ground. I feel like God will always find losers to make fun of you until you learn to make that choice to become intelligent. And he will make this loser manifest for you in a very intelligent way. It can be anything. A Person, an object, a life situation, it can be anything. I notice that God has an installed appreciation of all life within you that you didn't know you had. It's installed deeper than Code to a computer. It's in the BIOS of your brain and mind. The game of survival is a lot more fun and rewarding when you have to figure everything out. Why the fuck would God not want to have fun? The process of survival is how God has fun. What if the reminder you needed to focus was always present in your state of consciousness? This would be incredibly helpful. Creating as many cues as you can as reminders to focus. There’s apps like Slash. https://getslash.co/ Because you're God, you can create whatever Clarity you want. "I'll always put a challenge at your level for you to be rewarded." God is always creating challenges at your level. Meaning that you are capable of overcoming or working through whatever challenges that are put in front of you. You will always have challenges at every level of life. Every single level up you have in life, you’ll just have new, different categories of challenges. There will always be challenges at every level in every domain. The way you level up then is by willingly conquering all challenges that you currently face. If you are still struggling with level one challenges, then you are still a level one. And you will be limited to the level of success that a level one can get. Life wouldn’t be interesting if you didn’t have consistent challenges. God will always create losers in front of you that you want to help, but you have to learn how to help them by first helping yourself. The way to actually help other people is through respect. If you can respect yourself enough to set a strong example, then you can inspire other people to follow suit. You have everything in your mind already equipped to do everything you want in your life. You have everything already in your mind to generate the insights required to take your next step. You have everything in your mind already equipped to learn how to become that high performer. We all have that authority within ourselves to REALLY dial ourselves into our lives. We typically just need a strong example for ourselves to be inspired after. If you are going to tell someone to tap into this, then you must have THEIR respect. That respect comes from them SEEING YOU become this highest embodiment of the teaching. If you don't have their respect, then you won't be able to convince them to make that decision to become better and grow through that pain of changing themself. If they do choose to go through that pain, then their character will be solidified in those moments of pain. Character is written in moments of adversity. Real or self-inflicted. Furthermore, if someone is choosing to create self-inflicted adversity out of your suggestion, then they will naturally start to form a bond with you. Because now they are investing themselves in ideas that they learned from you. God gives you appreciation you didn't even know you had everyday, and every moment. Pre-installed into every decision you make to be a good man. So, in my experience, Mushrooms are pretty forgiving. Even if the trip is rather traumatizing, because you're so goddamn high, it is much less of a big deal. Be READY to FAIL! When you fail at something, that failure creates a point of self-reflection to increase your awareness of ways you could have done better. This is why goal setting and failing is so important. Failure creates points in time for you to reflect, and readjust. When you actually KNOW how to live the best life, you’ll do it all. You must learn how to create the momentum that you are after, STARTING from where you are CURRENTLY at. Have you ever thought about how God has the ability to just choose one day for someone to lose their mind and become insane and kill you? (My mind is experiencing that level of openness.) And he will intelligently weave it into your reality seamlessly such that it doesn’t even feel out of place. Point being, reality is possible to shift and change at any point in time very easily. It is uncanny just how quickly things can change for you. In a positive or negative direction. Notice this. Reality can change much faster than your ability to currently imagine. If you can get people behind your story, then you've got a great vision. People want to make your business/ project grow because they like your story. It’s really interesting to see how people treat you when they are no longer your friend. “I want to see how you treat me when you're no longer my friend to see what strength you have.” This is like the difference between friendship and respect. It’s interesting to see how much you can learn about someone when you are in tough survival situations. I feel this is where any real learning about someone occurs. I can see how 10-day periods of doing nothing will change your life. For 10 days you need to watch yourself do nothing and suffer. Suffer the inaction for you to finally learn to Act correctly. Here's why you need to meditate 10 minutes a day, do not give yourself permission to do anything for those 10 minutes! Like the solo retreat, you start to rethink how seriously you're going to make choices for your actions that you take throughout your life. Every day where you give yourself those 10 solid minutes to do nothing. It's like watching all the opportunity of all the possible choices you can make in front of you for 10 minutes straight. When I don't want to go to sleep it's because it's a day I regret. I also notice the avoidance of winding down to sleep is an avoidance of the next day. Reality is a Challenge Worth loving. I need to learn how to love the experience of a wage slave job while creating my own thing full time on the side. Be happy for the life experience LOVE is Loving the pain and Loving the Fear that Reality gives you. “God I Love the pain and the fear you give me.” That's a challenge Love the fear of going through all the challenges to create your ideal life. To truly create a Driven Life, you must take on the challenge to love the pain and the fear that God gives you. REALITY is a challenge WORTH LOVING. All the emotionally difficult stuff, it's WORTH LOVING. When you want to make high consciousness friends, you have to be willing to build your own tribe, your own village. Most people that try this never last long enough to build their own little town. People want great friends, but they don’t want them enough to go through all of this effort to create a community of their own. The expectations are set incorrectly. The way Reality controls you is through pain. The only control to expect in life is pain. You will have pain until you learn to act accordingly. So might as well choose painful things to do that will get you to where you want to go. Use reality aligned with the design that it was intended. When you think about doing something that works holistically well, it is all aligned with the design of God and Reality. Aligning with Love. Reality will find ways to kill you. (You being any figment of consciousness that you identify with) If you want to create an ego that asserts results onto the world, know that you will be fighting against everything else. This is not something to avoid, this is something to notice if you want to create anything new or create any changes within yourself or other people. For example, if you want to wake up, reality is a machine that will quench all forms of waking up by killing it through distraction. Choices. God will make you choose at all times. There are choices you are making at all times in every moment. Notice this. God gives you infinite power to choose to become a winner or a loser. God will give you choices you didn't know you had. I feel like God grants us equal power to make all choices. We will always be given choices. It's equal. For example The pain of doing the hard thing right now in this moment. The pain of doing the easy thing and suffering much more later. Life is like a Shakespearean play. There is always a choice in your life. God will make hiding shame such an easy decision. It’s interesting how that works. It’s in my programming. It's instant. Heaven is right here. This is literally the after life, we are smack right in the middle of infinitude. We are in heaven right now. How are you going to respect it? Big Insight around sovereignty and taking the authority of God: You can Decide. You can just DECIDE for whatever outcome you want to create. But every decision you make comes with all the costs of what you gotta do, what you gotta sacrifice to acquire what you are after.

	I DREAMED of VanLife. Never got it off the ground because Vans/ Cars in general are in such high demand. I still would like to do at least a year of it one day. The freedom and adventure alone would be phenomenal. At this point what's going to really enable me to do that is to make money online.

	Mushroom Trip 023 - 5.5g - Insights around “What is the Purpose of My Life?” When: August 21st 2023 Mushroom Strains Used: (4g B+) + (1.5g Blue Meanie) Dose: 5.5g total. Lemon Tekked tea. Didn't strain it. Drinking a cup of dirt basically. Yes it was gross. Intention: What is the Purpose of my Life? My entire life. Taken at 12:15 PM During this trip I was Listening to Leo's Episode: "How To Create Your Dream Career - The Ultimate Life Purpose Course" https://youtu.be/QtUxnmneK50 https://open.spotify.com/episode/19tJFJnJ9sW5KvQOONxVYM?si=iOdKs0bNSb6gyXCaNQIw2w Observations, Thoughts, Insights and Musings: 25 minutes in: Entire popcorn ceiling moving. Feed your muse through your work. Idea: Ask people what potential they see in me? Ask everybody in your life: Then flip it, and tell them their potential. Question: What's the most meaningful thing I could be doing in my life? Existence is magical. The substance of reality is God/Magic/Consciousness Stuff I have to REFUSE to be a fool EVERY DAMN DAY with EVERY ACTION. All limits are self-imposed. And all things that are self-imposed can be self-unimposed. Question: How do I ACTUALLY want to live every single day of my life till I'm dead? What would a peak day of my life look like? What the hell am I doing? What skills am I training and practicing? Conquer yourself, conquer life. Life is a process of conquering yourself and then conquering everything around you. “I hope this trip is the hardest trip of my life. Because those are always the best ones.” This was genuinely a rough trip. I was feeling a low spot in my life at this time. You have to FIGHT HARD for a good life! This is not an easy fight. If this battle was already easy, you will have already won. If you haven't won yet, then you are still in the battle. If you are not yet living the life you want, then you are still in this war. If you haven't won yet in all areas of your life, you're still in the war! I have a hard time believing that I have any focus problems whatsoever. I think I just have a morale problem. I am experiencing Basically zero distracting visuals, which is great. No characters dancing around or whatnot. Insight: You need to achieve peak states of consciousness with whatever direction you want your mind to go in. So if you want to be extremely motivated, focused, conscious, etc., then you need to create reference points for what that looks like. And you need to create these reference points often, otherwise we will just simply forget and then we will not be aiming our beings in the correct direction. This is why for example visualization can be so powerful. My self-respect is too Goddamn High to die a Loser. Imagine Creating a 30-Day Assignment where every day you write a blog post about what that person has taught you in life. To bridge yourself to your teacher as a student, you should write all about the things they have taught you. When you're gifted the most intelligent mind you have to respect it. Read the books it needs. Contemplate for it. Heavy metal detox it. Feed it good Food. Give it The Cleanest Water. Give it Good Sleep. Exercise for its health. When you realize how intelligent you are, you will start to fucking respect your life so that you can become the individual that you came here to be. When you realize that you have the intelligence of God. You will make your religion around respecting that intelligence by first and foremost respecting yourself. Respect the intelligence of God You need to become a man of STRENGTH to respect the intelligence of God. You have the mind of God! and you need to do everything you can if you're interested in accessing this level of intelligence! Live your Life like a Sims (Max all Skills) Speedrun: Lowest expenses possible, grinding every hour of the day to make money and max all the stats that you want to max out. Hone your skills like crazy to free yourself from wage slavery to craft the life you want. Treat every day like legendary training. Hustle like an immigrant that doesn't feel safe. I realized that a large amount of lack of productivity is an overabundance of feeling safe and how much of an illusion of safety we can create for ourselves. This feeling of safety disallows us from really hustling like an immigrant. You should never feel safe if you want to be productive. You should act from a place of not feeling safe. If you are not financially free yet, why are you acting from such a place of feeling safe and comfortable? I don’t think you will get nearly as much done if you don’t have that fire burning under your ass every single day. How the fuck should you feel safe if you are not even financially free yet? If you are not preparing in every way you can in every domain? This awareness of how quickly your life can be turned upside down should scare you into taking massive amounts of action to really get your life in order. What if X person you Rely on dies? How are you going to handle x person dying WHEN they die? What if you become permanently/ temporarily disabled in some shape or form? What then? What if your car blows up? What if your house blows up What if you get robbed? What if you get scammed? What if someone in your life becomes extremely dependant on you? I am currently obtaining insights that are a challenging mission to put into words. But I will try anyways: What if the meaning of God learning how to express his greater Clarity of understanding of himself is a process of him learning how to formulate any form into being and it could be through several lives and dimensions at once all at one time? I noticed that I get auditory hallucinations when I hear water dribbling. like small little bits of sentences are present with the splashing of water dribbling. (I noticed this while Listening to the water dribbling in the toilet that I’m peeing into.) Reality is competing for your attention at all times. Everything is trying to distract you at all times. Distract you from falling further asleep into the dream of reality. Even through the domain of thought, when you try to clear your mind, you keep on getting bombarded with figments of consciousness. (thoughts) If you want to get a lot of ideas, meditate more to create room and for your mind to clear for new creative ideas to enter. For new valuable insights to enter. REALITY is always competing for your attention at all times. Whether that be what's in your mind or what's in your physical environment, everything in your state of consciousness is competing for your state of consciousness at all times. You are constantly bombarded by reality itself and reality is making you into whatever the fuck it wants to make you into. In this way, your free will doesn’t exist at all because you are a machine to your environment and the thoughts that are being fed to you. If the thoughts are not even yours, then is any of life yours? Is any of reality yours? As the Ego? And unless you want to actually be somebody that's interesting, has a sense of humor, is very strong, etc... you got to fucking REALLY think about what the fuck you are doing everyday! Because someone is playing The Sims on you right now! God is trying to control you by making you do all this stupid shit, and I'm wondering, are you going to show him that you're actually going to live how you want? This is allocating authority to the Ego. And this is a good thing. As much as God can physically manifest, he is showing you the middle finger of how much control he has over you. And when you start to see that middle finger then you start to think about how the fuck you're going to control your life. Your life purpose is like a little ember that you hold onto. And all of the distractions of the world are like a giant sea of shit that is ready to extinguish that ember at any given moment. It's up to you on whether or not you can hold on to that ember in a sea of shit! Living a great life IS IN THE DETAILS! The details of how you organize your time, your schedule and your life. The details of what you put as a priority. The details of how you clean your room. I really notice just how much more put together my life is when I discipline myself enough to keep an always clean and tidy environment up to a militant level. The details of "I want all these fucking books to be straight and I want all my kettlebells to be in a straight fucking line! Organized by weight or organized by the most intelligent organization relative to what weight I'm using at that time!" It is BECAUSE it takes more effort to keep a clean and organized room does it breed a habit of a human that does more, and thinks more intelligently around how it's going to act. If you want to be a safe comedian: All jokes need to be directed at yourself. In order to protect the respect of everyone. My Current state of consciousness is like a Frank Yang 360 full View. I’ve got my face looking directly on the floor and I am looking at WHAT ACTUALLY EXISTS. I’ve noticed when my state of consciousness is sufficiently raised, SIGHT starts to break. Being an Ego is: "I shall only hold beliefs about reality that are convenient." Wisdom is making sure to differentiate between which beliefs will bite you and which beliefs will support you. What living Without could teach you Imagine living without a leg for a week, but that would teach you so much and give you so much appreciation for legs. Imagine living without something for a week, that's what it teaches you. Imagine being dead for a week, not being able to do anything, what would that teach you? I think it would teach you so much around your motivation for what you want to do about life. I think this is the biggest value I could get out of a 10-Day Solo Meditation retreat. I'm still trying to figure out if a 10-day solo retreat would be a positive thing for my life... Imagine how you lived your life as a love letter to other people. Because of you, I will live my life in the following ways: A,B,C,D You Taught me X,Y, Z You have inspired me to cultivate X, Y, Z traits in my character “I'm a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.” ― Mother Teresa When you think someone is a fool, you just don't understand their perspective guiding their unconscious ignorance. You need to learn how to Respect Yourself. You have been given a body, learn to respect that body because it gives you the opportunity to act any life you want! You do not deserve to live with all the abundance you have if you are not ready to respect every moment in every day! I noticed the indoctrination of images in my subconscious are the following: sunglasses, a black man, a white woman, forks and knives, a beer bottle, and a good time. I see these visuals CONSISTENTLY every mushroom trip. It's nuts. Imagine every month you had to reintroduce yourself to everyone you knew. As a technique to self actualize yourself faster by creating a higher standard of yourself in the minds of everyone you know. Communicate with everybody around you the higher standard that you are setting for yourself. Doing all this talk to pressure into your commitment to holding your word and reinforcing it with action. Why would you want something that doesn't exist? Be very careful of your desires in reality. Make sure it is possible for it to exist! You are a fool if you are desiring something that doesn’t actually exist or cannot actually exist FOR YOU! What if you only did things worthy of memory? Contemplate: What are things that are worthy of memory? I think about the times I really disciplined myself perfectly and got things done. Change the echo chamber of your mind. Because that is the infrastructure of your results! Your mind runs your perception of realty, and your perception of reality runs everything. Fuck up your perception of reality and you will fuck up your life. Invest in building the mind for success! This is rock solid ground zero infrastructure. This is WHY You need to Meditate. You Need to Read. You Need to Contemplate. You Need to Awaken to what’s True, To what’s ACTUAL. End of Report.

	I appreciate the reminder. I have now added the following lines: Make sure that you also stick to the rule of never harming the body. Perhaps ESPECIALLY in these times you trip under direct supervision.

	In this trip report I got some nice shallow glimpses of nothingness. I became conscious just how illusive physical matter is. Mushroom Trip 022 May 11th 2023 Taken at 1:33pm 4 grams of African Transekei - - Lemon Tekked as per usual. Didn't strain it like a boss. Don't remember the intention. I trimmed this report a lot more than I usually would, I feel as though my seriousness of spirituality now doesn't have the patience to include all the dumb ideas that I write in these report. I like 'em, but I think it doesn't serve a net positive purpose here. I just want to share valuable insights. I also want to share the insights that I am having to let you know what I have become conscious of and where I am on my awakening journey. As I need guidance in my journey in awakening more than anything from this forum and of course from Leo. (P.S. Leo I am more excited for your awakening course than ever!) At this moment, as as you will soon see with my following trip reports, I've started to REALLY scratch the surface with how serious awakening really is. Anyways here's the report. Insights That makes so much sense. When you have nothing left to identify with you will identify with the room. There is no other forms to identify with. You really are literally nothing. You really haven't seen some shit until your skull is on the ground and you're just looking at fucking WHAT IS. And you realize what actually is. When you're THIS fucking high, you're just amazed at that everything is gone. Every thing that is not directly present under your current direct experience is actually gone. Getting Mega ripped is a matter of the Mind. That's it. Death does not mean the elimination of existence. That is the illusion that fear holds you to. Existence will always exist. We have a fear that we will "leave reality", but there is nowhere to go. What we are leaving though is our current form of life with all the stories that we learned to attach ourselves to. We Fear that. Death is the elimination of your ego, but reality will just imagine something else. When really death is just the death of the idea of you and then reality will continue being here as it always has been. To learn to let go of life is really just learning how to let go of all of these stories that we have imagined and constructed. We are usually not suffering enough to be pushed to become who we came here to be. It's all fear that's holding us back. That's it. Kinda Notable Thoughts Make a decision to do a retreat at home where it's like the best 10 days of your life disciplined as fuck. To train yourself, just make a decision. Shrooms will be an asshole when it wants to: I was expecting massive Visuals with this strain, I got nothing. Man, everyone's just trying to unfuck their shit in life! Send $20 to the people I think that they're great. You have to trip in the hardest of times. This is a counter-intuitive thing right, when shit is going haywire and there is a massive lack of clarity and life is going left as fuck, a psychedelic trip can actually provide the necessary penetrating clarity needed for your life at that moment. What's really cool about doing a trip is that you have so much more patience around contemplating normally boring topics. Your brain is given enough dopamine and whatnot to really focus in on something mundane and turn it into something profound. Normally you're bored to comb through your life and all of the details, but when you're high you can actually enjoy just sitting and thinking about your life. End of report.
