A child already does that and it's not the wisest way to live. What is the difference between your mind and Einstein's mind? It's another way to frame it. The degree to which is jailed.

Yes! It's such an important insight. One of my all time favourites is the Authority episode, as good as it gets. Although, have you seen how you put your authority in Christianity or religion? How you give your authority to scientist and science? Etc.

It's good you're contemplating the topic. I recommend you to inquiry into the nature of the "jail" to then break out from it. What are the limits of your mind? Of your memory? Of concepts? Of insights? Of self? Of thinking? Of visualizing? What is a limit??? Then try to imagine if your mind wasn't as limited. Imagine you could think two chains of thought simultaneously, what about ten, or a thousand? What about your mind could see something from one perspective, ten perspectives, millions of perspectives? What about your mind could take the form of one language, dozens of human languages, alien languages, pictographic languages, etc. If you expand your consciousness enough you will feel through the cracks of your mind and each limit will be broken through.

No clue Do you know it? I'd like to know it now as well

A good take away from this is that Joe Rogan was actually blown away by your content. So much so that he published it. It's something worthy considering.

You gotta find your meditation technique. It really boils downs to that at the end of the day. I promise you there's a meditation technique that is enjoyable for you. Meditation was rough for me till I found vipassana and I've been having great results with it. Same happened with yoga for me. Till I found kundalini yoga from a nice teacher and it's super enjoyable. You gotta find that nice fit for you. It's still gonna be hard but the nice type of hard.

@Leo Gura Just pointing out how to make a more holistic self. It depends if you want to keep doubling down on what you're already top 1% in the world or momentarily rework in other areas that will feed into your overall development. I'm so happy that you're going for hardcore meditation but how many times you've done this kinda work? Just saying spice things up, the contrast will make it more enjoyable. Although if you feel the calling to go deep within retreat, I'd trust that.

@Leo Gura I agree with your position and respect it. I just think about the couple thousand people who will get it, will learn about your content and their life will be transformed. Like a basketball court full of people will be utterly impacted, just by statistics here. A hundred or less will become spiritually inclined and even one could become God-Realized. I would do it for the 1% in spite of the 99% That's the only reason I see to do it. On the other hand, an interview would be great. I want to see you interacting with people again. Get out of the cave and feel the sun!

It's usually easier to notice being when there isn't much going on. You still need to focus your faculties to notice the obvious and then from the obvious action can happen. It's like building up to it. Once you get solid sitting meditation skills, you may try more active meditation and even lying down meditation. As a matter of fact most meditative traditions recommend also meditation "off the cushion" like walking meditation, tea meditation and so on. Even Daniel Ingram in his book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha revealed that his most profound realisation happened on a walking meditation while on retreat.

There're literally millenary traditions of mindfulness eating and drinking. https://youtu.be/c8lRV0rqYd4?si=_NU0UyHM4q0u9UVM Making tea and drinking it is a meditation in Japan. Meditation is a state of being not a state of action. That's they key insight. It's not something you do, it's becoming aware of what is being the case. The presence of this experience, the present moment and reality happening.

Ideally you should be wordclass in meditation, psychedelics and yoga. In the same way that MMA fighters are world class in striking, wrestling and jiu-jitsu.

Only? Those are rookie numbers

I was this close to saying it, but I didn’t want to be rude. God was like let me grab Leo's psychedelic, no more forbidden fruit for ya go meditate like the rest of rats.

@PenguinPablo Unfortunately you cannot spiritually bypass your way out of living masterfully.

God had to nerf you in some way Leo

It's a pity the Actualized clips channels is not active anymore... Have you thought about using something like Opus Clip to generate engaging shorts of the best moments from your videos? I know it's not your style but maybe something worthy considering at least. It would give a second renaissance to the side channel with little to no effort.

It's a necessary step to realize Leo is imaginary. Otherwise your mind will become entangled in the Actualized.org gravitation pull and won't fly free into unique Awakenings. Every time I trip there's a deconstruction of Actualized.org in my mind. As they are so powerful that I don't want a figment of my consciousness to own over the whole, but rather deconstruct and understand reality as it is, by naked recognition so to speak. The surprise comes when in the aftermath correlation exists so many times with Leo, while in the process I always keep mindful of not skewing pure Awakening or understanding.

There's even a deeper unity to be had with Leo, although it requires infinite intelligence and infinite consciousness... Oh, when I read that message literally the distinction between Leo and me broke down, I felt the unity breeze among all the universe, like waves breathing in consciousness. Existence manifests all distinctions, that's an epic mindfuck when you get in intimate contact with existence, literally your body, surroundings, ideas and others, just become distinctions within the unitive vibratory field of existence. The One and Infinite Conscious existence, Universal Mind, otherwise called God.

I know the plot but I never watched it. Do you recommend it?

is this a duel??
