The evidence is simply too overwhemling. The bigger conspiracy is that everyone who reports UFOs is a liar.

There have literally been 10s of thousands of credible eye-witness reports of UFOs over the last 80 years. To dismiss all of them is beyond delusional.
The US gov has had alien spacecraft and alien bodies since at least 1947.

Life is the hard part . Death is freedom. It's when you finally let go of this human suit and  become free. And rest in peace hopefully forever
but God likes to keep dreaming .

And so we distract ourselves until we die..
Make money, get women, make a legacy, become rich, we are chasing things in a dream of our own making. But mere distractions they are these pleasures, trials and tribulations. As all faded away into nothing. We cling with all our might to our self, then it is demolished and destroyed. Was it ever real to begin with? Or a dream for fools to be reeled in distracted and ultimately perish? What does an existence of impermanence mean, with an afterlife uncertain? A humanity abandoned to become god or a spirit, only to incarnate again, forgetting the past, to play a new game, somewhere, sometime again.

@Ayham Your mind can only work for you when you start figuring out things on your own,at this point you dont trust yourself to find a way to stop procastinating ,so your mind is like oh well, he doesnt care about his own methods his own thinking why should i then and follows it by self sabotage you with distractions..
You created the mind that self sabotage itself it thinks its doing you a favour... 
You actually want to distract yourself...

If I was to give top 5 at no particular order of priority 
Figuring out how to eliminate distractions and being able to dedicate a few intense focus slots per day even if you feel bored and unmotivated - especially when you feel bored and unmotivated.  Daily reading - books, research, blogs, articles  - in your particular area of interest  Learning to be okay with never-ending uncertainty (my greatest struggle)  Being at your absolute peak fitness level - the fitter you are the more energy you have and the sharper your mind & memory is.  Not expecting anyone to gratify or glorify you for what you do especially when you feel needy for approval. LP is a lonely game I'm working through all of those myself but this would probably be my top 5. The tips and tricks you can learn from Leo and people like Cal Newport by watching & reading their material. 
 

These are the kinds of questions that will lead you to enlightenment. Keep asking. The answers will reveal themselves to you.  Evidence of God is all around you. Miracles happening are all around you. Gods will is not your egoic will so God does not see working the ass off to accomplish material things a goal. God is just experiencing itself as Infinity and every part of Reality is also God. When you realize that nothing in life will ever permanently satisfy you, you will start to go within and return home to Source where you truly reside and where fulfillment is your natural state of being. No one would ever awaken if life was always comfortable with no challenges. Most people are comfortable in their misery and pain and have come to accept it as LIFE. Thats why this awakening thing is so rare. Few existential questions are being asked. I asked questions, the right kind of questions, and they are slowly being answered. By me. Letting go of the self is a start. Surrendering to life and realizing there's something big at play here is also essential for your realization. Move your hand up and down. Thats evidence of God. God's energy flowing through you. Leave the vacuum on the floor and it does nothing. Plug it in and now its potential begins to actualize then you move it and it does its job. Your body the same thing. Its plugged into God's energy. You are pure potential waiting to ripen into your full being as God. The problem stems from our beliefs and attachments to the thoughts that come in and our assumptions about ourselves and life. We believe our thoughts to be ours and we sometimes act upon them . Thoughts=beliefs=actions=experience.  We label things as being dumb, crazy and mentally ill, but its just energy. Like the circuit breaker breaking or malfunctioning due to whatever the source of that. Thats what a stroke is. Its like a malfunction in the circuit. God is living life through you and why it can seem so tortuous and cruel to you is because, since you are God and God is energy the energy that's flowing through you has been "disturbed" or has malfunctioned in some way and you need to get it back in alignment using tools such as thoughts and beliefs. Thats how powerful you are. To me, tho, enlightenment is not something you become or gain, its the recognition of realizing what you are not. All of it. Recognition that you are no-thing and everything simultaneously.  Like a wave recognizing it cannot stand on its own without the ocean and that it is the entire ocean. 

@PataFoiFoi  yes because everything you see in the orb is just part of the orb and this orb contains every single thing you have ever experienced in reality, except you because you are god looking at god. When someone sees you, you are in the orb and they arent in the orb, when you look at them, they are in the orb and you arent. Gods not happy cause you are not happy. When you become happy god becomes happy at least outside the orb becomes happy and this will warm the orb with happiness. The orb contains every timeline every single thing every dimension and you can change your path through the orb by changing yourself. So today you could be a bored human tommorow you could be in another dimension because its just you travelling through it no one else exists. The orb is omnipotent it contains everything and everyone

I haven't read it, but it sounds very interesting.
 
Yes, psychological death is like undressing at a very deep level, and when you start putting the layers back on again, you become more aware of how each layer relates to each other (or you become aware of new layers you didn't know existed). This undressing process is inevitable, and most people do it only once, and they really want to avoid it altogether.
That is what I think reincarnation is for most people: you don't want to do the undressing process, so you instead want to jump straight into a new set of clothes while still wearing the same clothes underneath. I'm saying that it even if it's the case that you'll be given new clothes, you still have to take off your old clothes before you put on new ones. You might remember your old clothes some time in the future, but that will just be a memory.

 
I've heard about it, but I know nothing about it. I've heard about too many weird past life stories to not think there could be something there (but again, I just don't think it matters a lot). This one guy Jan Esmann says he remembers all his lives for the past 2000 years. He is a very interesting guy for other reasons too. I recommend his BATGAP interviews on YouTube if you want to feel like a true spiritual weirdo  

Yes it's your conscious choice in which state you want to be in if you want you don't take any physical form and stay in the godstate.
But there is beauty in duality you will get bored by being in nothingness state.
And remember you are god and god wants to live all these lives in physical form! But if you do not want to you can always have a choice!

Here is the thing...
Once you ask such question, people will come up with all sorts of opinions and believes.
Which are entirely based on their (spiritual) conditioning.

What is true is that there is an overwhelming amount of case reports regarding young children refering to previous lifes.
We know that this has been true across cultures and across time (Pythagoras could remember most of his previous lifes).
We know that there is the phenomenon of between life memories. 
We know that this is a reocurring theme in near death experiences. 
We know that this is a reocurring theme in psychodelic transmissions.

The truth is that there many facets of experience that hint at reincarnation.
I personally do not think that this is just a "string of memories seemingly attached to different minds and bodies across time.". 
Such assumption would create more questions than it would solve.

If you ask Leo, he would say that all this reincarnation stuff is something YOU (GOD!) is imagining. 

I know a deeply realized individual who once told me that during "his shift" (enlightenment) he felt this strong energetic intuition that he went through multiple lifes to end up where he is now. 

I do hold my own believe, which is: Of course reincarnation is real. 
Which is based on bayesian reasoning and the best evidence we have. 
But then again, its "just" a believe. I guess we will find out soon enough anyway

@Leo Gura
I don't place you above me, that is why I actually used the term "prophet", you are just a human like everyone else yet you lead us to God. I think this is what Mohammed tried to teach the christians because they revered their prophet Jesus as God himself, Mohammed reminded everyone that it's about the One God and that prophets are just humans, I just have a passion for religions and myths btw not that I think that stuff is real awakening. 
I'm not stuck in any dogmatic metaphysical system actually, that is what all the turmoils from my life the last years but also the studies of different perspectives has brought me. I have personally verified solipsism in 1 trip which destroyed my life for a few years. It's also just blatantly clear to me that consciousness/reality is one, divine, mystical etc. not that I actually am able to enjoy it, I am still drawn in heavily by the vortexes of human life and activity.
1.  Why is God Alien though? does Alien in your sense just mean to highlight that it is radically different from anything we know? I wouldn't otherwise understand why the literal Godhead of the universe would be an Alien intelligence. Isn't the Ultimate Godhead the Infinity of all things, and not specifically Alien/Non-Alien?
2.  The only thing holding me back from going into serious psychonautics is my fear of being disintegrated, fear of extreme suffering in states of consciousness, extreme radical states of consciousness that would leave me in hell for a long time, ruining the rest of my life by going crazy on psychedelics, retaining visual hallucinations, extreme emotions and feelings when facing ego death, sinister trips and energies
This is really the only thing holding me back from tripping deep to find Truth and also do deep inner change. Do I just have to take the psychedelics and face them, and just accept whatever consequence comes upon me?

-------------

PS: There is actually just one question I care about before truly starting my journey, that is boggling my mind. the question is, is eternal hell possible? As in, is it possible for me, Consciousness, to get stuck in an eternal loop of extreme suffering that I would literally never get out of? without any chance of redeeming my suffering, as in, there would be no ego death etc to relieve me. A state of consciousness where that is the case and I'm locked in it forever. It may seem like a dumb question since some specific state could never be eternal, because eternity is the set of all infinite different states of consciousness. However on the other hand, if God is infinitely powerful and God is consciousness, it could actually put itself in eternal hell forever because there is nothing it can't do. 

I'm willing to go to Hell for Truth and God, but the idea of eternal torment truly scares me. Still I feel in the back of my head like I know God would never allow it, because literally the only condition that makes God ever-forgiving or not ever-forgiving is whether there is eternal hell or not. Sorry for the childish question.

Are you using the forum on mobile? If so, you may need to rotate your phone to show more toolbar buttons on the top (i.e. where the bold, italics, underline is).
That will reveal a quotes icon/button. Using that button allows you to make a quote (example at the end). I think that The Bandman simply used that button, then copied and pasted that stuff into the quote.
 

I mean, I wouldn't call people completely stupid but they do say stupid things that are stupid because they are bad habits of thinking without actually learning how to learn, just conceptual knowledge from the education system within a certain time period. For example saying things like, "you don't need apps, just don't turn your phone off." As if  I haven't thought of that before. I clearly know what is wrong with my phone because of missed calls and there is no reason to turn my phone off at this moment, only at night when I don't need an alarm. If my phone is on silent, my Mom would assume that my phone is off or that there is only Russian at the airport or that without considering the option of airplane mode on a plane. There are certain habits of thinking in the education system like writing things down being effective while ignoring reminders being more effective or that my work needs to manually be saved. Stupidity isn't a lack of conceptual knowledge, it is being unaware to habits of thinking and being attached to them and to the thoughts from being emotional.

Last night, I was trying to get some sleep and suddenly, my Mom called me at about 11:30 in the night just to see if I spilled something over a mess in the fridge that I still never saw that wasn't even me so I don't even know what happened. She didn't want me to do anything about it, she just wanted to be sure. She apparently didn't know that I was sleeping just because she herself stays up longer which seems unreasonale to assume from someone else even if she thinks she knows me. It's not like I have a consistent bedtime routine which is what I'm trying to work on so it's unreasonable for her to just assume. Also, my Mom thinks that her interruptions are so important when they are not. It's as if she is desperate to get my attention, could it just be who is too reserved? Why then does it seem to be other people that I  try to hard to participate in conversations and why are they resistent to me? What do they think about me behiind my back and why? I care more about not knowing than what people think because I just want to change myself to be more likeable without people seeming fake to me and I even treat them nicely. If you suggest that I stop doing so or confront them on the situation, I will also be unlikable for being too mean and people will gaslight this kind of confrontation because of my autism regardless if if it's intentional or not. Anyways, back to my my Mom.
She has trauma of getting yelled at but I'm sick and tired of never being allowed to get angry with anyone but she never even bothers to see a therepist and I can see that it makes her very immature and gets out of hand. If my Dad is allow to have a bad attitude with her Mom, why can't I if I am an adult? Telling her nicely doesn't work, she doesn't change her ways because this isn't the first time that this happened and I don't want this to happen ever again. If I don't suppress my anger or even if I speak in the slightest annoyed tone, my Mom will start throwing a temper tantrum asking what is wrong with me. My Mom also acts nicely in front of other people even if she doesn't like what I say or do instead of being honest about it in public and expects me to give the same treatment to her all the time. There was this other time where I was on a call with my Russian teacher and my tone was slightly off, and my Mom threw a temper tantrum threatening me to take away my smartphone. She was embarrased when she forgot to mute the call but she might have gotten defensive because the person on the other end was her boyfriend. She never seems to apoligize about these things, nor does she want to listen to these things. She would either deny that these mistakes ever happened or say how I am wrong somehow. There was also a post about my Mom throwing a big fit about some food situation and there was a book recommendation about dealing with immature parents, what was the book called agiain? I forgot the name of the conversation. I think I type some problem abut my Mom and maybe I can find it. Keep in mind that my Dad is not around to help me because he is divorced.
I have a document below that I created about the situation last night which is why it comes as a file instead of just bullet points. I don't really think it's going to affect my attachment limit too much and why is there an attachment limit anyways?
I might not even have my student transcript yet but I'll check it later even though it's taking longer than usual while I have no control over what's going on except for checking my email and emailing the admissions team when approprite. I also have why I cannot get a job in Russia since I don't even have a college degree. This is what my Mom says but I got quick relevant results during my conversation with ChatGPT instead of going from website to website since ChatGPT works like a conversation. I only use if I absolutely cannot find relevant information because it's an AI language model.

Also, my parents don't have much control over my VISA situation, otherwise I wouldn't have to leave the country every 6 months which means that I'm stuck living with my Mom. I could just go to college in the US but I forgot why I'm even taking college online. It's probably just because my major allows me to and that it's more convient but I need to learn how to be more in control of my life and actually have a plan.

It was nothing new; it was a deepening and more interconnected knowledge of my previous discoveries. All is consciousness sure, but how interconnected is your consciousness? All is imaginary sure, but are you aware of how you are doing that? So I became conscious of the infinite narratives that I was spawning behind each moment to explain the present experience that was happening. I had this insight before, but the definition and understanding of how this process is unfolding up to its microscopic level really recontextualizes everything.
I also felt metaphysical love which is very different from emotions, I would explain it as an embracement of what is, but I really don't have that much of experience to articulate it well. It was not ecstasy or bliss; it was just abstract love independent of the content, so the love could not be another content. 
Probably the most shocking understanding was about awakening, understanding what that word means or points to. It felt like all my life I had been severely drunk and now I finally had sobered up from that confusion. It felt a lot like that, it's a really accurate description.
 
Extra points for Malt: The afterglow is gorgeous. My mind has been able to lock and make permanent some of the features of the trip. My mind's stability has been improved significantly, I don't know if this will be temporary or it will go away, but it feels that some of it will definitely stay.
 
Yes you are right scientifically speaking it's very safe in this regard. However, in subjective experience it's opening another can of worms. Don't you feel overwhelmed and exhausted after 8h of intense sensory amplification? At least I do.

Wow, where to begin? This is not a drug, and I can't even say it's a psychedelic. It feels like sobering up from a dream. It's not a high feeling or a trip, it's how things are when you are conscious and alive. I am very surprised and happy about malt, this is what I had been searching for. It really feels like my natural awakenings there is not this mystical psychedelic vibe to it, there is just consciousness and you can become more conscious and more awake. It really has this property of this is how things are, this is natural, this is real. This is probably what has surprised me the most, the no-drug vibes no-tripping, just awakening, just consciousness.
The other aspect that I should also mention is the energetic demands. So I went to a physiotherapist prior to my trip and during the trip I had to work through energetic blockages. There was some nausea but everything was fine. Malt has given me some LSD vibes in the sense of energetic amplification and the feeling of "unblock and heal" within my body/being. I expect, as I use more the substance, to clear myself up from all blockages. It is clear that this is not the purpose of the trip. It's something that happens to purify and evolve the vessel to host higher consciousness. Or even better said, that higher consciousness is trying to be manifested but it finds blockages in the human form that need to be worked out, to make the flow of consciousness without resistance. 
I enjoyed how stable and interconnected my mind was during the trip. The fact of being no mind but from a full active mind standpoint was extremely satisfactory. I'm very intellectual and I have to confess that I loved how pure, stable and holistic my mind was during the trip. Nothing to do with loopy thoughts of classic psychedelics. I had the consciousness and also accessed it by other methods but malt's clarity is outstanding. It's what you really want and not any distracting meaningless other phenomena going on. 
About plugging: It works great for me and I'll use it in the future. It's just mental resistance to put something in your ass but I didn't even notice it. It's easier than what you would think. It gave me some mild stomach discomfort but I don't know if it's just the malt, the working of energetic blockages or the plugging. 
Overall conclusion: This is the Holy Grail of my life's search. This is the tool that I'll be using in my work for years to come. Thank you Leo, you really made the difference.

@Leo Gura I now understand the difference between consciousness and simulation when it comes to models but how is consciousness not a simulation if everything is consciousness? Did you mean that the entire Universe as consciousness is not a simulation? In one of your videos, you tried to help me imagine what an infinite object is like. You gave me certain dualities to describe it and that there are infinite dualities to imagine for this infinite object which should include simulation and non-simulation. Is that how mystical experiences are able to show some sort of simulation or is it all non-sense? Does it have to do with the dream that cannot be modeled by anything or is consciousness prior to dream? Does the ego interpret mystical experiences, generate them on beliefs, or do both? I think t the answer is both but what determines which of these 3 options will affect the mystical experience and how would you then know that mystical experiences are then absolutely true? It seems like what you say is true compared to other ideas but I can't explain it to you, maybe because I can't explain it to because I'm coming from the rationalist paradigm? Can't mystical experiences threaten the ego? Why would it be threatened if it can distort the truth or does it do so because it is threatened? If mystical experiences can be invalid, what makes it different from direct experience which makes it valid? And how come asking questions on the forum seems like the only way for me to generate questions to contemplate on? If reality cannot be a simulation, then it should also be an absolute limitation instead of just Absolute Love for the higher good in the video of what will actually is and so is the fact that there cannot be anything outside of consciousness. 

Simulation means a model of something else. But consciousness is not a model of anything else, it is directly itself. So not a simulation. You can dream of simulations but if you're Awake you see consciousness directly as consciousness, not any kind of simulation.
You asked a bunch of other questions but I don't have time to answer them all.

Ultimately reality could be a simulation but conciousness isn't simulated its something else. So you could be in a simulation but thats not what you are. If you are in one it dosent matter cause you are not even in it its just pretending to be in one. Like you would be pretending to not be in a simulation if you weren't in one. You very well could be pretending to be in a simulation and that could be true and you could be pretending to be in base reality. From my mushroom trip they def felt like I was in some sort of alien simulation inside a computer but I'm not any of that I am something else. If you were in a sim what could be out of the simulation at the same time?
Pretend you wear a vr headset inside the game you a character you move around in the game if you in it long enough you might start to think you are the character but there is something outside the sim that cannot be in the simulation. That is your awareness outside the simulation that let's the whole simulation exists

I don't really understand the concept of how people can create AI that is smarter than people. I think that they would think that they need to know what the nature of intelligence actually is, at least not as deeply as Leo knows it. I find it far fetched that just being trained on text is somehow a threat to humanity. Some bots even have timestamps that prevent them from gaining more information. However, with lack of restrictions, there might be a disaster for features that require more responsibility. To determine if AI should be shut down or not, there needs to be a specific reason, for creating better AI instead of just having some arms race, or it might become too much of a good thing. There is also the possibility to create AI that can control how sentient AI can be if that is even possible for AI to have and to create such AI to moderate. It's kind of like with social media. It's self-aware that people spend too much time on it and encourages it to be moderated. This means that self-awareness might be a good thing but I personally think that AI has no reason to be against humanity as long as people are concerned about the consequences nor would it have any emotions to resent people.

@Leo GuraI have important question(s) for you and other people can answer too. This might actually get your attention and I'm starting to get the strange feeling that we are incompatible but it's really difficult to explain that at the moment. Let's just say that I think that there is a deeper reason with why we don't interact with each other that we are both probably unaware of and why I'm not on your priorities or on your radar when it comes to interacting with people on the forum. When contemplating, it's easy to generate nothing or for me just to get too distracted by thoughts that is probably just mental masturbation without even recording anything but it seems like I'm now in the ideal state of mind to be posting on the forum. Now without further-a-do, let's begin.
First of all, I have some things to say about the UFO video you posted on your blog. First of all, the visions I had tell me that aliens probably exist and the most convincing vision I had while awake sober before even learning about aliens was an alien piece of technology that behaved supernaturally in which the switch or lever disappeared when I left my room. My intuition would tell me that it might have changed my social interactions although the superficial answer would be that my autism causes their current results which is what I say, do, and behave on my behalf. Glowing entities that appeared to me might have been angels since they can take different forms according to Teal Swan but you probably don't buy into that which is why I think that it is likely for demons to exist too but I'll discuss the problems with talking about whether or not demons exist (it's a general problem with understanding truth).
Now where is what I think of alien footage as "evidence": Although I'm confident that aliens exist, I wouldn't call alien footage of a UFO as actual "evidence". Afterall, there is still the possibility of it being photoshoped or it being AI generated. You also have to take into that is footage of stuff you consider to be false like footage of glitches in the matrix. You would consider that to be fake footage. I think that it easy for you to call the alien footage real without a shadow of a doubt because the YouTube algorithm knows the footage you would want to watch. Anyways, you get my point. 
You have claimed in one of your videos that you are detached from the idea of "alien fucking spacecraft" but I think the difference between you and me is how we perceive technology since we both claim that we are detached from the belief in aliens which is relevant to contemplating how much the UFO footage is evidence for anything. From my observations, it seems like you are ignorant from technology generally speaking. First of all, I can't tell what is being discussed on the right side of the forum index/homepage. It looks even worse on Android TV with the scaling to the point where I can't even read the forum but most websites don't work properly there anyways and it could just be the browser I'm using on that device. You also scatter your notes into different notebooks around your house instead of keeping it into a consistent place like Google Docs on your phone. You might actually be aware of this option and chose the option that is less likely to distract you since the app managers are not very nuanced, at least not to me and whatever works for you. You also tend to emphasize on computers when you speak of simulations. These are all examples that I want you to be aware of the more I observe you. 
Now I have questions for your video on why reality cannot be a simulation that has more to do with the topic on the sub-forum: Why can't God imagine that the universe is a simulation? You say that I am God but you say that I have free will if I were to identify as the entire Universe and that God imagines what is possible and impossible and I think speaking dualistically would clear up confusion in this context. And can God really imagine anything outside of consciousness if everything is Mind? You say that Love is the only absolute limition for the higher good because God is Love. My next question is why does simulation theory have to work with aliens all the way up just like with turtles all the way down and that simulations have to be simulated all the way up infinitely? Why is there a negative stereotype when it comes to new-agers believing this and when it comes to New Age in general whenever you refer to "New Age bullshit"? It's been awhile since I watched that video and a lot seems irrelevant to this question in the video. 
Now I have questions about what you think about demons: First of all, I'm skeptical what Teal Swan says about demons. There tends to 3 ideas about demons from demons that I noticed from spiritual teachers:
1. That demons don't exist. 
2. That there can only be demonic contracts with demons. 
3. That demons cause possession. 
I got the 3rd idea from the book called Kundalini Awakening in chapter 12 about phychic powers but I'm only going to focus on what is most likely to be true from that book and if there isn't backed up by someone else's personal experience, it would seem to suggest that we live in a subjective collective reality. It really does seem like my mind is the source of all demons from this standpoint even if my personal experience MIGHT have involved angels which is important to take into account since we live in dualistic reality. But what about that person who said that there was dark energy within you who didn't want you to keep coming back to him for money when you had a serious health problem? Would you also say now that this is because the mind is the source of all demons? I can show a video of the healthy and unhealthy benefits of fish even though you probably know but you do sure put a lot of emphasize on the health consequences from your experience which would be heavy metals and I don't blame you. But the stuff I was taught is good for me you say is bad for me like omega 3 in fish and yeast for example even though consuming those things would make me more susceptible to heavy metals. This is just one example and won't be getting into that here. I messaged a moderator about this who is an expert in health who said that this varies from person to person and said he doesn't see a reason for why I can't eat fish even though I would like to become vegan but you give personal advice in the video about heavy metal toxicity. 
Hopefully, we can come to a conclusion about all of this so that these questions and concerns can be resolved. Keep in mind that I find you to be one of the most valuable teachers out there. I know that you would want give your feedback on science because of how much you want to improve it which is what I want to do here but it could be me is mistaken, please be honest. I hope that you find value in this.
