  1. Time needed to build kriya yoga effects
    Kriya Yoga - where to start?
    They are unrelated.
    Kriya is not as intense. It is subtle and long-term. You need to do it for months for it to build up its effects.
    You're not going to feel anything from a few sessions.

  2. Basically 2 types of leadership
    Leo is Wrong About Trump - Accountability Predictions
    To help you deepen that insight, there are basically two kinds of leadership:
    Rally people towards selfishness using fear Rally people towards selflessness using love It really is that simple. Of course there are many degrees of both. Most leadership is somewhere in the middle. Exceptional leadership is #2. And #2 is so rare precisely because is cannot be faked. The leader must lead by example by himself being selfless and loving, which is impossible for a big ego to do. Which is why human history is filled with examples of such terrible leaders. But also a few exceptional ones. Exceptional #2 leaders become deified as gods. Because they literally must be God-like to lead that way. Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira, Muhammad, Gandhi, MLK, etc. Unconscious people are incapable of such leadership nor are they capable of electing such people into positions of power. Those who get elected tend to be the most ambitious, ruthless, and manipulative ones. Rarely a selfless person will get elected, but he will quickly be demonized and kicked out of power by the selfish people who feel threatened by his selflessness.
    The thing that selfish people hate the most is displays of selflessness. Because it makes them look bad.

  3. Kriya Pranayamas > Binural Beats
    What Is The Truth About Frequency Hertz/ Binaural Beats/Spiritual Significance?
    Almost certainly that's BS.
    New Agers love conformist talk about vibrations and energy, and most of it is fantasy.
    Binaural beats, however, do work. But don't expect a serious increase in consciousness from them. The effect is mild and mostly temporary.
    Your time would be much better spent doing Kriya yoga pranayamas. That can truly transform you in permanent ways. What you want from audios is what Kriya yoga can give you for real. It's a lot harder, but the results are much more serious.

  4. Leo what scenario is it ok to be a celebrity? Answer
    Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
    @Magnanimous How it's okay is if you are doing good work and the work naturally makes you well-known. But even in that case it would be unconscious to invent a whole brand and business to milk and juice that fame to the max.
    There is a whole industry behind every celebrity to milk and juice their audience by any means possible. To feed the fans, to feed the adoration, to use it for power, for narcissistic supply, for luxury, to do fake twitter posts, fake PR events, etc.
    For example, Albert Einstein was well known for his good work, which is fine. But then imagine in today's age he would have an Einstein brand that sells Einstein merch and milks the fanbase. And he would have some social media consultant posting promotional tweets on his behalf.
    There is a huge fakeness and whoring factor to most big celebrities.

  5. Leo what scenario is it ok to be a celebrity?

    @Leo Gura
    About your Celebrity itself is Corruption, post, is there any way to go about it in a non-corrupt/as minimally corrupted way as possible?
    Honestly I've always coveted being one the moment I got interested in doing a greater purpose in life so I've had the desire for a long time. I also saw on your pickup video you can use celeb status to pickup girls so my guess is you ascribed some validity to pursuing it.
    I've also read in Conversations with God not to pursue fame for its own sake but for a greater end, which ties in nicely with my new prospective LP - Leadership (I haven't properly planned this out yet but I also thought about doing philosophy to model Plato's ideal ruler of a philosopher-king when I mature into it enough, so that could help avoid corruption and be a better reason for more people to know me and feel my influence)
    In the end I'm really asking if is there any scenario where its ok to pursue and be a celeb?

  6. Success Essential 1: Perseverance
    Low points with the pursuit of a life purpose
    That's why no one succeeds without perseverance.
    There is no shortcut here. Either you will persevere or you will quit. If you quit you will never become successful.
    Success is rare because most people are too weak, so they quit.
    Success is for the strong.
    Just like with marriage, you must commit 100%. Make quitting not even an option.
