Hindus call it mula bandha. There are three main locks: Mula bandha Pelvic floor Lift energy upward Uddiyana bandha Abdomen Draw energy inward & upward Jalandhara bandha Throat Contain and regulate upward flow. When all three bandhas are applied together, it is called Maha Bandha. When I'm in deep yogic samadhi I stabilise comfortably in Maha Bandha. A weird thing that happened to me on a psychedelic trip before getting to know about kriya yoga is that my tongue wanted so deeply to do Kechari Mudra, it felt like breaking my tongue at that time but when you hit the spot oh God it's like a self-estimulating your own brain chemistry and glands. So this a possible explanation, or it could be any other cause. As a general norm I prefer to be as relaxed and open as possible. -
Absolutely! I was gonna write QiGong but then slipped my mind, was thinking a few minutes to recall it but just posted it. So thanks! I like this lady: Just posted three Banger videos and disappeared from YouTube. Kundalini yoga is great but I feel it's moving energy from a pseudostatic standpoint, with QiGong I get to move energy from a moving flow. It's great. On microcosm orbit it's just another way to move energy around the body there are many really, that works great. My favourite (although not that accessible even for me) is torus style. When you wire your energy like this, you're both high as kite and grounded as a rock

You should try it all. I have done so many weird shit you wouldn't even imagine ahahah. So this was my approach, trying as many techniques from mystics, different religions and schools of thought as possible. Try one technique for a month let's say and then report feedback. Moving to the next. So after some time you've got yourself a wide bufet of experience and you'll find stuff that works for you and other that doesn't. Try everything with an open mind, for example right now millions of people are fasting as a spiritual practice in Ramadan style, try everything. Then discard bullshit and what worked best for you invest and deepen it or craft your own combination of practices. Overall, what I like is the following: Kriya Yoga (from Yogigems in YouTube) Vipassana meditation Do nothing meditation with boundless spaciousness (recommend Michael Thaft) Autonomous Contemplation Breathwork (Wim Hof and alternate nostril breathing)

It's fine, I'm very guilty of that myself, sometimes I can't help it. That's why I always try to surround myself with people that have more experience, maturity and intelligence than me, in this way I get humbled and can learn. You gotta take calculated risks, where there is a will there's a way. I just can't buy it that with you intelligence you cannot make it for this 2026 to find an interesting psychedelic compound in a safe way. So if you make a one year goal to do so, in 2030 you'll have tried 4 new substances, how exciting right!

Probably the lack of love, care, connection and support for one another. We need some more healthy green vibes. The inability to see different degrees of holism. Lack of epistemic humility. One thing that annoys me is casuals speaking like know-it-alls. We're here to learn and share. We all make mistakes and are limited. We're not as intelligent as we want to show, we all are plenty of short comings. Lack of work in basic spiritual skills like daily meditation or yoga. Dismissal of psychedelic work, not going deep enough or wide enough. 100 trips is just the teaser, barely starting to go deep. Going wide, trying at least 20 different chemicals.

I got the feeling that most psychology degrees are very biased towards the pathology branch. I do like the work of Jung. Thanks for the advice on those courses. You need many special equipment that costs too much to make as a personal investment, you cannot spend 10k for every other subject; that infrastructure is provided by the university to put an example. If you study biotechnology, you're not gonna have a bioreactor home or a full chemical lab, etc. Just to put an example of what I mean.

@JoshB Mmm, it's hard to go so far while being in a nightmare, a lucid nightmare is still a nightmare. Take care of your human life, it's the foundation for all spiritual work. Read my signature: God-Realize, this is First Business. Know that unless I live properly, this is not possible. There is this body, I should know the requirements of my body. This is first duty. We have obligations towards others, loved ones, family, society, etc. Without material wealth we cannot do these things, for that a professional duty. There is Mind; mind is tricky. Its higher nature should be nurtured, then Mind becomes Wise, Virtuous and AWAKE. When all Duties are continuously fulfilled, then life becomes steady. In this steady life GOD is available -

It's only I brother get over it An Infinite I I'm just your mirror -
Touché I once told you Actualized.org is the religion of the future but you disliked that comment I was thinking more on content talking on religion or different religions for example. What is true about hinduism and what's bullshit, etc. Or a holistic video talking on the religious sentiment or on different mystics. Something like your second video of Infinity.

For me, the way I approach all of this is by starting with metaphysics. Before anything else, I had to figure out—truly, totally, and absolutely—what metaphysics is. What is the ontology of reality? What is reality itself? In my experience, that’s actually much easier than epistemology. Epistemology—the attempt to understand, interpret, and make sense of reality—is messy. It’s full of traps, distortions, self-deceptions, shifting frameworks, and constant revisions. It’s complicated and unstable. You’re always refining, correcting, evolving your models. It becomes an ordeal in itself. Metaphysics, by contrast, IS direct. It’s immediate consciousness. It’s right here, right now. You’re awake to it. You realize it. You are it. There’s no mediation—it’s identity, It's oneness. So my method has been this: I prioritize metaphysical awakening first. I become absolutely conscious of the truth of a given facet of reality. I allow the realization to happen fully. But then comes the real work. Because one thing is to awaken—to have the realization. Another thing entirely is to understand what that realization means. What does it entail? How does it ramify? How does it restructure your entire mental architecture—your network of assumptions, your conceptual framework, your lived understanding of reality? That part is deeply human. Messy. Slippery. So I went all in on metaphysics. I put all my chips there, aiming for absolute understanding: omniscience from the standpoint of Infinite consciousness. Then, when I return to the human domain—the finite mind, which is like a bubble within infinite consciousness—I contemplate. Again and again. I revisit the insight from my current baseline state of consciousness and try to make sense of it conceptually. Once a contemplation feels coherent and stable, I test it. I look for its limits. And then, during another awakening, I immerse my human understanding back into that higher consciousness to try to break it—to expose blind spots, distortions, and ceilings. Each time, I attempt to reach a higher level of holism. In the end, though, epistemology remains what it is: trying to hold a cup of water from the full ocean. The human brain—this skull-bound structure—is attempting to polish itself into a pristine diamond mirror that reflects the totality of reality. You keep refining, removing blind spots, increasing clarity, holism and intelligence. That’s how I approach it, at least. I hope it offers something of value to you. -
Show me a paper that you think is deeper, more complete and better than Leo's videos on metaphysics and epistemology. I'll be delighted to read it. I do believe he lacks content on philosophy of religion, which I myself have studied to good extent. I have more of a syncretic approach to mystical branches of religion more than refusal or allergy to that whole domain.

In some ways that's true, but in others it's false. So given that we agre in what's true I'll point out in what way it's false. You're not gonna understand certain engineering fields without proper mentoring or for example become a Doctor. There's something that university gives you and it's very hard to learn it without it. Your comment also clearly comes from someone who has a degree and therefore being above, we see it's limits. I'm a full two engineering degree graduate and so what, it really tought me very little, but even that little couldn't have happened without the rigour and process of the university. I'll soon enroll in a master, so I still get value from the whole university system.

Of course, I had that in my mind too, but thought it was needless to say I didn't study philosophy because it was "history of philosophy" not Pure Philosophy. Same with psychology, it's about pathological psychology most of it, not human self-understanding or development.
-
@zurew I think you sometimes underestimate the degree of Leo's understanding of academic philosophy, remember he formally studied philosophy at university and earned his degree in the field. So I'm just guessing here but it's very likely he has a better grasp of that than you, unless you are a philosophy graduate yourself or have done the equivalent work (aprox. 6.000h to 7.200h) of university level academic philosophy.

Cool, thanks for sharing -
Mmm, I don't think it's that, as I could be vaping 5meo like air all day with 0 tolerance. It's only with DMT so far, soon I'll try it with Malt and see how the tolerance works. I have the intuition it's something about neurotransmitters.

I think it would be helpful to reference your work when talking in interviews. E.g. if you wanna know more about evil: Go watch what is The Devil? What is Goodness? Etc. A full 3h lecture on the topic...

Part 1 finished. So far so good. So of course you're not gonna get the same depth, intelligence and structure than with a video, but you're getting fresh questions and meeting people where they are at. I find them genuine people, stage green wanna be yellow, that are just grappling with your truth bombs. It's fascinating to see how they are trying to wrap their minds around the things you're saying, how they get locked in common pitfalls and then you guide them out of that misunderstanding and then make a couple good points, just to fall into another trap. The whole thing is very interesting to watch but before you arrive to the gold in any given avenue they jump to another marathonian level question to repeat this same process. The problem with interviews is that covering the terrain /alignment just takes so much time that leaves very little for insightful conversations, but there's juice also in that, in answering questions from different stages of cognitive development and more so if they are genuine people. So the value more than pure philosophy, metaphysics and epistemology, is in answering common people's question from such a complete cognitive stage and consciousness state.

Lmao, I was gonna ask where he bought it You can sense the energy in it and both the pattern and the colour degradation is beautiful. But let's not distract ourselves with peanuts

30min, I'm loving it. You've really improved your conversation skills. It's exciting to see new angles. Thanks for taking the time for the interview.

This year one of my objectives is to experiment heavily with Nootropics and see if they work and which ones work best. So final decisions will be made at the end of this year, now I'm just testing things out. I've always had lots of problems swallowing pills, but I just saw how that could be very problematic, negatively impacting my life and I'm so glad in the last month I've been able to swallow that pill! Okay so straight to the point, first I'll list the substances I've been taking for about 10 days. Basic ones: Complete multivitamin and mineral Omega-3 Creatine Turmeric+Probiotics Nootropics: NAC (800mg) Rhodiola Rosea Uridine NAD Phosphatidylserine Lion's Mane (+Reishi) (+Cordyceps) Brain Complex pill (Bacopa Monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, Coline, Ginseng, L-Tyrosine) Brain focus pill (Taurina, L-tirosina, L-theanine, 200 mg of caffeine) Huperzine A Pyrazolam Armodafinil To wine down: Magnesium Bisglycinate L-Tryptophan Valerian GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) Triphala Blueprint I'm following (although I always listen to my body and consciousness, adjusting it to every day): Initial conclusion: Absolutely amazing. I wanted to try substances that would give me a permanent/stable change in the way my mind works. This combo has proven to work very nicely. I work a lot during the week and need to stay at my best even when I can't get as much sleep as I'd like to. These substances allow me to do that and moreover raise to levels of intelligence and physical performance I would have never imagined possible. I'll explain in later posts on this thread more in detail how each one has worked for me or even not much. As well as dangerous interactions between these supplements to consider. Overall very happy, as I made such a strong investment but it's definitely paying off. My intuitions were right that to tap into higher cognitive developmental stages, nootropics would be instrumental, in the same way psychedelics are for higher Awakenings.

@LambdaDelta I was waiting for your post

(AI transcribed post from an audio contemplation) There is a truth about spiritual development that very few are willing to articulate plainly. Many people enter the spiritual path with an implicit assumption: that if they do everything correctly — meditate diligently, attend long retreats, practice yoga rigorously, explore psychedelics responsibly, dedicate years to contemplation and inquiry, become a full time monk — they will eventually reach the highest states of consciousness. They assume the path is meritocratic and universally attainable at its summit. But after years of observation and dialogue with serious practitioners, a difficult conclusion emerges: It is extraordinarily rare to reach the highest states of consciousness — whether as stable baseline realizations or as insane peak states — unless one possesses exceptional, perhaps extreme, innate endowment. In blunt terms: unless one is, in that domain, a genetic outlier. The Spiritual Domain Is Not Exempt We accept biological inequality in nearly every other domain without protest. Consider athletics. No matter how disciplined you are, no matter how optimized your training, nutrition, recovery, or psychology, you will not outrun Usain Bolt. The gap is not merely effort-based; it is structural. It is encoded in muscle fiber composition, tendon elasticity, neural firing rates, biomechanics — variables largely determined before conscious striving begins. The same applies in mathematics, music, physics, or art. When one studies the true geniuses — those who revolutionize a field — one finds not merely diligence but profound structural asymmetry: cognitive architecture, perceptual sensitivity, creative intuition, memory bandwidth, abstraction capacity... Why, then, should spirituality and mysticism be exempt? --- The Myth of Equal Attainability Many practitioners believe they can reach the level of Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, or Muhammad if only they practice hard and intelligently enough. But consider what is being claimed. To reach (definition of terms excluded): Serious baseline Awareness Peak Awakenings into a facet of Awakening Peak Awakenings into many facets and in conjunction Holistic Awakenings across all facets. Infinity Consciousness Realization of infinities for Infinity Breakthrough into God-consciousness and God-Mode And from there, further God Facet and Infinity Awakenings Even a single authentic awakening of those is already a huge blessing. A few partial awakenings on limited facets are already extremely rare. Totalized realization across all axes? That is vanishingly rare. Imagine to realise Infinity and God... And yet many assume it is simply a matter of human mechanical effort. --- The Uncomfortable Implication This conclusion is discouraging. It suggests that many sincere practitioners — even those dedicating thousands of hours to meditation, retreats, yoga, inquiry, psychedelics — may never reach the highest conceivable states in comparison with other gifted individuals. Not because they failed. But because the organism/manifestation has limits. Genetic limits. Neurological limits. Structural limits. The same way no amount of training will turn a very good runner into an Olympic record holder, the gap is quantum, no amount of practice may turn an average nervous system into a vehicle for absolute consciousness, an avatar. Let me ground this in something concrete. Recently, I spoke with someone who, by any reasonable metric, could be called a spiritual prodigy — what I've been calling a “genetic freak.” He described having solipsistic awakenings at the age of two. At two! Before doctrine. Before philosophy. Before influence. Before language was fully formed. Throughout childhood and adolescence, he did not need to be introduced to spirituality. He did not “discover” it. He was already living it. He would wake up in the middle of the night to meditate. To pray. To contemplate God. Not because a teacher instructed him. Not because a book inspired him. Not because a forum persuaded him. Because it was intrinsic. That difference matters. The Metric of Origin One of the simplest diagnostics you propose is this: If spirituality came to you from the outside — from a teacher, from religion, from philosophy, from a figure like Leo Gura, from a book, from psychedelics — then by definition, it was not native to your earliest structure of consciousness. If, from the very first moment of self-awareness, your primary orientation was toward truth, God, metaphysics, infinity — then something structurally unusual was present from the beginning. This is not about superiority. It is about origin and understanding the truth. Some people discover the path. Others are the path from the moment awareness crystallizes. That distinction is not trivial... --- The Deeper Paradox And yet, paradoxically, this truth does not invalidate practice. It reframes it. Spiritual work may not be about reaching the maximal conceivable state. It may not be about becoming a once-in-history outlier of consciousness. It may instead be about: Doing your absolute best and bending as much as possible all limitations in the way for higher and more complete consciousness (or whatever your spiritual goals or approach may be) In fact, one might argue that the mature stage of spiritual development includes accepting limits — including the limits of genetics, embodiment, and this particular manifestation. There may be states of consciousness that are simply inaccessible to this organism. And that, too, is part of the truth. --- End Don't fall into false equivalence. Some are born already touching the sky — their first breath a question about God, their childhood a meditation, their nervous system intrinsically tuned to infinity. Others must carve their way upward through discipline, study, psychedelics, years of relentless refinement — and still may not reach Holistic Awakenings, Infinite Consciousness or God. This is the structure of reality. Consciousness, like every domain of existence, expresses itself through gradients of capacity. There are prodigies of spirit just as there are prodigies of mind and body. To deny this is sentimentality. To resent it is immaturity. Your task was never to become the best but to be your best — completely, honestly, without self-deception — whether it rises ten feet or touches the infinite sky. And that, too as for all Infinity, is God. I'll leave with this quote: "Even when you struggle to realise God, you're God"
