When you go on this journey of personal growth, spirituality & life purpose building, there will be/is a lot of stuff that is difficult to explain to family & ‘friends’. Although they don’t understand everything, You can still love and be together with your family, they might not understand your interest in pursuing God, psychedelics or spirituality. Or building an authentic life purpose. You might not even mention it because it’s too radical. Should you just hold these deep topics to yourself and only share with people who resonate with deep topics LIKE the people in this community? And should you Not try to explain these topics to family members & open their mind, But INSTEAD keep it for yourself and let them FEEL that you’re growing? How do you reconcile personal growth and spiritual growth while having healthy relationship and communication with family? How do you communicate your want to grow?

How do you strike the balance between thinking vs not thinking. Just being present, getting rid of all conceptual frameworks vs conceptually understanding the world, learning, understanding & practicality surviving and going through life— How much time should you spend learning about life, culture, history, art, politics, different perspectives, human behavior, business or other life fields vs how much time should you completely get rid of ‘trying to understand’ the world and just be present. How do you know when to contemplate and think about deep topics, trying to understand the world, and when do you just turn your mind completely off and not think about ANYTHING, but purely feeling, sensations and being (the more Buddhistic way)?

@Someone here Yea I get what you say. Sometimes I have this want to completely get rid of all responsibilities and purely live life of purely magic and adventure. NO adultery confinement, NO rationality or logic, PURE fun, playing and exploring, for hours & hours. Exactly how I could get lost in nothing when I was young. When I could laugh in the nature, sun, ocean and grass fields and just play and be. The childlike awe without any adult beliefs or dogma layered over existence. No preconceived story, no old patterns or traumas layered over the world. Completely getting rid of ALL that indoctrination from kindergarten, school, parents, highschool or University, and purely seeing Life as mystical. Purely seeing humans, animals, birds, cars and trees like mystical beings. (Even though humans do have their egos, their worldviews, way of surviving, ideas, way of thinking and pragmatism). I don’t let their worldview inflict with Me seeing Them as Mystical beings—they’re God and they’re mystical, They are just not aware they’re Mystical Gods. At the same time I need to take responsibility, I need to survive, I must understand business, survival, politics, government, society, human behavior, science and psychology. I need to be serious and pragmatic. I need to have a clear understanding of the kind of society and world I live in, but STILL be able to live in that child like awe, bliss and wonder most of the time, where I don’t think—I just imagine, play and be. But parents, family and Unifriends are ‘threatened’ when I live too much in the former category—as a wonderous child who sees life as an unserious game.

Wow that was some very helpful answers. Makes a lot of sense. ‘Dumb it down’ tell them what they want to hear, without making it too complex. My family “feel” I’m growing, but they don’t know why. They don’t understand the work I’m putting in; understanding human behavior, bias, improving my emotional awareness, life purpose building and all the other deep topics we love and care about on this forum. It’s nice to have someone that “understands” you. thanks

Thanks all for the answers!

I was recently on some extravagant, exotic holidays with family & friends to Egypt, where I did snorkling and bathing in Red Sea, nice beach and great food as well as in Switzerland where I went skiing. What can the problem be with doing extravagant traveling? and building wealth so you can have those exotic experiences? Why do you travel? To ‘escape’ the ‘normal’ life? To escape the everyday? To not look into yourself? I feel when you travel you don’t necessarily look inwards, introspect & bask in simplicity. You’re chasing extreme/exotic experiences. Appreciate if you can elaborate your thoughts of traveling, luxury & exotic experiences.

How do you know who to listen to in this world? What are good sources? What people do you listen to? How do you know who shares truthful information? How do you navigate all the information and different perspectives out there? Should you listen to Business people? Experts? Psychologists? Mystics? Gurus? YouTubers? Economists? Healthcare professionals? Doctors? Your Parents? Your siblings? Your friends? So much knowledge, information & perspectives to navigate out there. Where do you find the META-level people? Where do you find people with high level, wise, big picture, holistic & metalevel thinking? How do you know if you can trust certain people, and others not? What are certain principles/checklists you can go through to know if you can trust someone’s “expertise” and “knowledge”? Help me navigate this world with your profound answers & recommendations thank you:)

@Shodburrito Be aware of the attitude and defending your position. Some of your points are fine and good, and so are Leo’s. His video and answers are nuanced, not black-and-white. For me his socialization episode was one of the most insightful & enlightening. It’s just hard to wrap your mind around if you cling to socializing, and if that’s all you do mostly.

@Leo Gura To shortcut my process—including yourself; who are the highest level meta, big picture, systems thinkers in the world, historically & present? People like you who’ve consumed and synthesized many big pictures? Do we have a thread where I can find such high level people? People reaching Infinite Intelligence-like levels. @Ishanga Very Interesting thank you!

@Leo Gura @integral Extremely helpful answers. That makes sense. I’m constantly elevating my perspective, gaining a metalevel, big-picture & wiser level understanding. Consuming all different perspectives, especially meta-perspectives and synthesizing them into my own meta views of reality. Taking as many different fields of reality as possible and becoming a high level systems thinker. Every moment of reality is an opportunity to grow and learn. Every interaction with reality, wether that’s interacting with my parents, my Uni friends, health masterminds, this forum—are all opportunities to learn & grow wiser.

@Ishanga That’s a very good example. I often find that the people who have the least views, and are harder to find tend to have deeper expertise. And people who use “cookie cutter”, “attention grabbers” and have thousands of views and have EXPENSIVE courses don’t have valuable information to share. btw who is the particular YouTuber you know about marshal arts? I wanna get good in that field so I’m curious to find gold nuggets. i love finding gold nuggets and diamond mines in new fields (people who are highly experienced experts with tons of wisdom and meta awareness)

@Michael569 Food is the most intimate part of your day—it’s what you put into your body, affecting all your internal systems. It’s the cornerstone for whether you’re healthy or not. All those things you mentioned, all the way from juicing to ‘eating dirt’ seem counterproductive and unnatural/unhealthy Healthy eating is intuitive and pretty simple; Grassfed meat, organs, wild fish, quality carbs, raw honey, raw milk, raw cheese, some fruit & veggies like cucumber and carrot. @Something Funny Grounding is touching the grass/earth with your bare feet or bare hands. The Earth has a negatively charged field. And you accumulate positively charged ions. When your feet touches the earth it neutralizes your body’s positive charge, restoring the natural electric state of the human body and you gain a sense of ‘peace’.

@Peo Very good approach. I do that myself aswell. Not Idolizing or putting blind faith to any authority, not Leo, not ‘health influencers’, scientists, experts, billionaires, mystics or gurus. Some people/‘experts’ do have more meta awareness, experience, holistic, big picture thinking, love and wisdom than others though.

@Leo Gura Yes, but most people resort to The Standard American Diet or The College Diet or whatever their parents ate or whatever their friends eat. Or they go into extremes like raw vegan, vegan or pure carnivore. ’Figuring out what works for you’ might completely blindsight someone. That’s the same as saying, oh don’t listen to any ‘guru’ who talks about Psychology, Meditation, Bias, Deception, Actualization or Spirituality, because you should rather just ‘figure it out yourself’. Well, what if that ‘guru’ has spent thousands of hours on books, podcasts, courses, health-masterminds, and self experimentation, as well as helping hundreds of other people get rid of diseases and gutissues, skin issues or hair issues—then maybe some of the things he says might be true. Health is complicated. So it helps getting some advice, and who knows, maybe some of the advice like Whole, Organic Foods (Meat, Organs, Wild fish, Quality Carbs, Raw Milk, Butter & some veggies), Grounding, Movement, Sunlight and Loving yourself, might help. Not saying to follow or trust anyone blindly, but take inspiration from advice that might help, and apply it to your own situation.

@RendHeaven Very well put together answer. I deeply appreciate your critical feedback. Health, Nutrition & Wellbeing is a subject matter I’m deeply passionate about, and I have experienced myself as well as seen others benefit from implementing most of the nutritional & lifestyle changes I share here. But I always value nuance & not black-and-white thinking. Hence why I don’t identify with any ‘diet’, but rather go by principles and your ancestral roots (Wether you’re Asian, South American, American, Indian, European, Scandinavian, African etc) you have different nutritional needs. For instance; me being a Dane I need more Fish, because we have less sun here, so I eat lot of codliver & Zinzino fish oil. I always try tailoring my approach, but some principles seem to universally apply. thank you🙏🏼

@Leo Gura I’m not picking any diet. I’m not telling anyone to eat vegan, carnivore, keto, paleo, mediterranean, animalbased, raw or any other diet. I’m not dogmatic or ideological. But there are certain nutrients essential to every human, and certain foods to avoid. In my experience of helping 50+ people (athletes, moms, entrepreneurs, teenagers and just regular people) radically transform their health (I’m a D1 Tennisplayer and gymnast myself), I’ve seen certain food groups that have worked. And these are time and time again: Quality Animal Nutrition, like Grassfed Red Meat, Liver, Heart, Wild caught fish & codliver. Quality Animal fat like Raw Milk, Kefir, Butter, Coco oil and Tallow. As well as high quality carbs like white rice, potatoes, fruit & raw honey and only small amounts of veggies like cucumber, carrot, tomatoes & salads. Not cruciferous veggies. And certain food groups removed: Processed, denatured, artificial, packaged and nutritionally hollow foods. As well as Nuts, seeds, legumes, soy, tofu, cruciferous veggies, seed oils etc. @Leo Gura If I have seen so many people with chronic health issues, skin issues, gut issues, hairloss, weight problems, brain fog & lack of energy Radically improve their health implementing some of the stuff I mentioned here (Not taking any credit for it), Then I wouldn’t say I’m harming people with my advice. I’ve yet to see one person worsen their health with these tips—rather the opposite. How can you demonize my advice, if you have yet to try it out? How can you demonize someone taking psychedelics if you haven’t tried taking psychedelics yourself? Have you tried drinking Raw Milk, Raw Kefir, eaten pasture raised eggs cooked in butter, & eaten grass fed grass finished steak with sea salt and some carbs on the side? And yes. I’m very careful what I’m doing, I’ve researched, experimented, delved deep into health for 6+ years and I’ve gotten a pretty good understanding. I’ve yet to ‘harm’ anyone from my advice.

@Leo Gura Hippie stuff: eating green smoothies, vegetables, tofu & lentils because we’re told “Sugar, Fat, Salt & red Meat is Bad”, Real, true health (not for hippies): Red Meat, liver, oysters & wild fish (Meat) Fruit, Sweet Potatoes, White Rice, Raw Honey (Sugar) Butter, Coco oil, Raw Milk & Animal Fat (Fat) & Sea Salt or Himalayan Salt (Salt). These foods are what your system needs. @Leo Gura Have you tried eating these foods? (Especially drinking Raw Milk, eating Liver, Oysters, Grassfed Red meat & drinking raw milk kefir)? (To back up I’ve coached/helped roughly 50+ people with some of the same health issues as you, get completely rid of their issues)

@Leo Gura In your Holism video & How to Fall in Love with Life video you talk about Health = Holism = Unity = Life. You also mention that we’re intuitive beings, and health is intuitive. But, you mention that it’s “Tough” to drink green smoothies & eat veggies. Maybe that’s your Intuitive body signaling you that a lot of veggies and green smoothies aren’t serving you, because they’re filled with anti nutrients & defense chemicals. You mention Sugar, Fat (& Salt) isn’t good. But maybe it’s because PROCESSED sugar, fat & salt is bad, and not Whole, Natural Organic Fruit, Raw Honey, Butter, Animal Fat, Animal Nutrition & Sea Salt. What if listening to your intuition and eating Meat, Organs, Wild Fish, Fruit, Honey, Carbs (like rice & potatoes) & less veggies and salads is what will improve your health problems? As well as grounding, walking & sprinting in nature, and swimming in ocean. Maybe your intuitive bodily signals are right. It’s just about getting the natural nutrition, not the processed.

@integration journey Yes I know him, and I like lot of what he talks about, but he lacks some things in his approach of only eating meat, organs & fruit. I like to add some nuances to his approach like adding a bit of salad, cucumber, carrot & other (low anti-nutrient) veggies for the gut motility. As WELL as wild caught fish and fermented foods for the Omega 3 and Vitamin D. If you solely eat meat, fat & fruit, you lack some fiber for gut motility, where I think the veggies and salad comes in. Also I don’t think he recommends fermented foods for the gut microbiome NEARLY enough. Kefir is so important to populate the gut, and it can’t be emphasized enough. But I think most of his work is great. Also I like his viewpoints of functional movement. But that doesn’t mean I’m “Idolizing” him or see him as a “guru”. I pull from multiple sources, like Dr Weston Price, Dr Natasha Campbell and many other truthful figures.

@Leo Gura Vegetables are filled with oxalates, phytates & lectins, which are antinutrients that prevent your body from absorbing nutrients, causing inflammation and pretty much wreck your bodily systems. Hammering down vegetable juice while having cancer makes it even tougher on the system. I’m Not saying vegetables are bad, just watch out getting Too much of them, as they can be problematic for body and mind. And especially raw veggies like kale, spinach, broccoli or fennel. I’d rather drink some orange juice, eat grassfed grass finished meat, pasture raised eggs, wild caught fish, fruit, honey, potatoes, rice, kefir and a LITTLE bit of fermented veggies and salad.

@Leo Gura Heavy metal detoxes like DMSA, DMPS or ALA are synthetic methods that might even introduce new chemicals, and they only focus on isolated toxins. A natural and harmonious way to detox heavy metals and other toxins is Zeolite and Sauna. Zeolite is a crystal found in nature (Vulcanoes). Look it up. Also, a problem with doing “Cleanses” is that the toxicities can/will come back. It’s not going to the root of the problem—which is looking at what you’re eating. Your systems “structure” will naturally heal itself if you fill it with probiotic rich foods like Kefir, Saurkraut, Kimchi and Nutritous foods like meat, organs(liver & heart), eggs, wild caught fish, bone broth, butter, fruit, raw honey, potatoes, rice, veggies and salad. I’m not saying the protocols you mentioned are wrong, just saying there are other natural alternatives, that can go into the Root(structure) of the problem and not merely the surface(content) of the problem.

Disease comes down to 2 things essentially: 1 Deficiency (deficient in Nutrtion (Quality Meat, Organs, Wild Caught Fish, Eggs, Fruit, Rice, Potatoes, Honey, Salad, fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut etc), deficient in Sun, Nature, Sleep, Movement, Love) 2 Toxicity (synthetic & unnatural, like heavy metals, PFAS, microplastics, endocrine disrupters etc) — you detox through Zeolite and Sauna. If not defecient and if toxins are cleared —> disease is less likely to be present.

Not eating meat results in serious nutritional deficiencies; Vitamin A, B12, K2, taurine, creatine, anserine, carnosine and many more… Higher perspective is understanding that for something to live, something must die, and that death is part of life. And Eating Ruminant animals is a natural part of life’s cycle. and I’m talking Ruminants/live stock that was grass fed and grass finished and pasture raised. NOT factory farmed, fed corn and soy. Including Meat, organs, eggs, Wild caught fish, Fruit, Honey, Potatoes, Rice AND Vegetables and salads in your nutrition is A higher Ecological Perspective. You’re honoring your nutritional needs, you’re honoring ecology, including animals like Chicken, Hogs, Ruminants, Bees, Plants—and all different complex life forms. Veganism is not higher perspective. It is restrictive and results in Serious Nutritional Deficiencies & paradigm locks. But the same goes for carnivore. A more balanced diet approach, including High Wuality Sources of food, is a Higher Level Approach.
