@Leo Gura Should I skip all the other techniques leading up to pranayama and maha-mudra? Or should I do all the lead up techniques, then when I can do/mastered pranayama and maha-mudra, drop the lead up techniques?

I haven't had a friend to talk to about these subjects in 8 years because people like that are so far strung from each other. I LOVE socializing and I believe a charisma/leadership related role will become my life purpose. I do have mates at school but we will never forge a truly deep connection/have consistent things to talk about because we don't have the same interests. The population of my city is 176,000 people. Is my city big enough to find like-minded friends? How do I find them? A LOT of socializing is necessary for my happiness and I don't want to continue missing out on one of the joys of life just because I have no friends like this.

Recently started concentration practice, 2 mins daily. Whenever I try to concentrate on my selected target, I put so much effort into it that I stop breathing. And when I stop breathing obviously I can't maintain my concentration for very long because I need to breathe again. And if I try my best to breathe normally while concentrating, I'm not fully concentrating on my target, which is not getting the most out of the technique. How do I breathe normally while doing concentration practice? I'm about to enter a very spiritual phase in my life, where after graduation (2 months) I'll spend the next few months + next year doing a lot of spiritual practice, trying to be able to enter a state of presence at will, so I can enjoy it for the rest of my life. Then I'll hopefully move to London to start pickup and dial in on Life Purpose.

@Leo Gura I wanted to move to LA because of all the stuff to do (entertainment capital of the world), and I'm sure with the population and what I've heard there's a lot of people interested in spirituality/personal development. How come you wouldn't want to live there? I just don't know enough reasons.

@Leo Gura Any yellow/turquoise areas? As I start doing psychedelics and Awakening, I assume I might feel called to move again due to an increase in consciousness.

@Leo Gura You already know I wanna move to London for pickup. With that kind of population and importance I'm sure it'll have plenty of personal development minded people but how about spiritual? Surely both because a lot of massively successful people are into manifestation (spirituality, metaphysics). Also how about LA? I haven't properly planned life after London yet but its the city I'm currently most favoring to move into post-pickup

Just planning a move to London to do pickup. I know the closer you live to clubs (better logistics) you can increase your close count by 2x-10x (in the words of Leo)

I'm trying to get to the lotus position one day to optimize my new Kriya yoga practice and improve meditation. But I'm not flexible enough, so I look on YouTube tutorials and my findings are 1. The stretches are too hard for me 2. I don't know if they will lead to me being able to do the lotus position in the long run So how did you become flexible enough to do the lotus pose? Did you have a routine?

Yesterday I didn't do my Kriya Yoga (2 exercises, max repititions), Concentration (currently 2mins), or Meditation(60 mins), breaking my investment streak. I was just wondering, in the scenario I can't bring myself to do the full routine, should I just do them all but shorter? Would it be worth it? Because even though I'll get lesser gains I'll still be accreting to something amazing rather than delaying my progress. Over the years no doubt I will have bad days for producitivity. So an example routine on a lazy day would be Kriya yoga (minimum repititions), Concentration (1 min), Meditation (15 mins)

@Hojo What's a karmic loop?

@Leo Gura Is there any point in worrying about increasing my attractiveness above attracting my dream girl? I'm super competitive about being attractive because I'm very good looking and charismatic, but should I stop worrying about it as soon as I'm quality enough for my dream girl? Other people will definitely outdo me.

@Leo Gura Could I still be considered exceptional if I was short (I'm short) but had everything else?

@Leo Gura What percentage? Top 0.5%? Top 0.1%?

First

@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?

@Leo Gura

@samijiben 1. How much of each stretch do you do? 2. Say I reach full lotus; is 6 minutes of each stretch daily enough to maintain it? 3. How long did it take you to acquire lotus position?

@Leo Gura Why so long ago?

Conversations aren't just talking; they also include listening. So what books/courses/resources on listening would you recommend to become a better charismatic?

Decided to move to Europe instead of America the year I turn 20 to practice game, because in America you have to wait until 21 to go clubbing. What are the best gaming spots in EU?

@Leo GuraI remember a couple of years back you said you were gonna transform your face into an Alien God 🤯 Any updates on that?

@Leo Gura 17yo, currently applying the Power of Now, and Eckhart Tolle says that although the pleasure you get from all worldly things is temporary, we can still enjoy them. Does that still apply here even though this work isn't just integrating Being, but God? I'd like to ask because I plan to have a lot of the "fools gold" in my 20s, then get into psychedelic spirituality in my 30s when I've burned karma/realized enough it won't make me happy. But I'm sure I'd still like to enjoy them from time to time; Eckhart says we should still enjoy worldly things from time to time, but we should just know it won't make us happy.

The creator of this technique called image streaming says if you do it enough, you could increase your IQ by up to 40 points. I'm not buying into that but other people anecdotally talk about benefits to their visualization, intellligence, etc. I don't think any IQ benefits would be that major but I'm sure it would increase. Should I do it in order to gain better performance? Or is life already too full with Life Purpose, Meditation, Yoga, fun, etc?

I'm just wondering for example if I got sick, or if life happened, does that eliminate my chances to get the best benefits from both practices? Obviously I don't think it will especially after a few years, but how come it is insisteed you have to do meditation/yoga EVERY DAY for years on end to get the best results? I'm really struggling with the motivation to meditate that long and I want to start Kriya Yoga in a few weeks. I don't understand the logic behind you HAVE to do them everyday for years, and I don't know enough about the long term benefits of doing them everyday for years.
