@Leo Gura Do you have any conscious ideas around monetization of content

Hey all!! I am from South Africa I have started a new podcast (on Spotify and Patreon) - called The Conscious Lens!! Would appreciate any support and giving it a rating, as I am trying to start growing it more and more!! Thank you legends!!

My goal is to one day have 1000 true fans each paying $10-$20 dollars per month, so that I can live out my purpose helping people live more profound lives. Anyone have tips or tricks to help me grow it? Any thoughts on people knowing if there is or is not enough of an audience to make this happen

Hi @Leo Gura - After watching years of your content and doing your life purpose course, I have been building my own self-development brand as helping people life more profound lives and take their lives more seriously is my main mission. Helping people get on purpose and escape the bullshit of the 9-5!! Helping males develop conscious, grounded and passionate masculine energy. This is what I want to do. I wanted to ask, if I ever create my own life purpose course, and then also with my life purpose coaching package, would it be okay to take ideas and inspiration from your life purpose material? Not copying, but rather guidelines and inspiration.

Is it recommended to put off epistomology and later completely until life purpose is in place which could be as late as 35 years old if it takes me 5-7 years? Is this a bad idea? Is it better to slip in some epistomology and metaphysics in between? Advice? Thanks!

@Leo Gura Obviously, this is not such a black and white question, as I am sure it depends on a lot of factors, but generally, would you say for anyone looking to deeply learn epistomology and pick one topic to go the deepest on, would you say self-deception is in the top 3? What else within your videos on epistomology would you say make the most difference to learn (like a top 5 according to the 80/20 principle). Thanks.

Like top 5 general themes to go deepest on to make the most profound impact.

@Leo Gura I am curious, are you still taking many nootropics these days as you have gotten older and are still keeping up the intense spiritual work and contemplation etc.?

If it helps man, I am about to turn 28 and want to start producing music on the side alongside my current purpose I am building in coaching. I know now deep down that even if my music production takes 10 years to get good, that still leaves me being able to do it for many decades as a passion project and maybe even around the world who knows. Point is, there is LOTS OF TIME!

@Leo Gura I am curious, having gone on your current path, with you awakenings and inclinations towards exploring existence the way you do, what type of partner would you look for? Would they have to be into non-duality and awakening as well or would you just look for someone who is very conscious but pursues life in their own way? The reason I ask this question is because I am heading down a powerful path where I am eager to explore life to the same depth and so I wonder about this sometimes.

I was just lying in my bed looking around me at my room and suddenly I had this strange shift in my consciousness where I felt like I was witnessing the inside of a snowglobe painted on the inside with what was my room and body etc. and it kind of felt like I was the space in the middle of the snowglobe where there exists nothing. Am I onto something here? Is this close to any of the no-self awakenings or am I just imagining random things? So if I put out my hand in front of me, it feels like my awareness is the space inside the snowglobe and my hand is "painted" on the wall if you will. Make sense? @Leo Gura could you assist me here please or anyone else who may have insight into the above. Thanks!

1. Is God as Nothingness = Absolute Truth? Or are these 2 different in some way? 2. If absolute truth can't be communicated, spoken, proved etc. then how does one experience it? Is it a realization, a feeling, an insight? Does the room change in some way? If nothing about experience changes at all, then what is there to realize that is absolute truth? 3. Is absolute truth = ISness? Like is absolute truth = the fact that the screen of reality is ON. 4. Sometimes I have had consciousness of the fact that the only thing happening is what is in front of me, but I have only realized the fact of it, but it didn't hit me with a sense of profoundity, does that mean I didn't get it? 5. Also if absolute truth exists and can be experienced/found, why can't it be communicated? All of this mystery around what absolute truth is and why it is so profound, makes me deeply fucking excited spending my life trying to realize it.

I have been working through some of the videos related to meta thinking, so it has been at the forefront of my focus in my day to day. Today I had a funny example of going meta happen in my experience. I spent a few hours cleaning all my washclothes, my broom, my vaccuum cleaner, my sinks, the inside of my dishwasher and washing machine, my soap trays, etc. and I realised how I was going meta: Cleaning the things that clean. LOL.

@Leo Gura "If you clean your shower you are cleaning the thing that cleans the thing that cleans the things that clean." - This was too good.

@Leo Gura I am learning that integrating the depth of your insights into my journey of becoming a life coach and over time learning to integrate what you teach into my presence and teachings as a life coach is going to make me a 1% top tier coach. Your teachings infused into coaching and insights make it 100000x, I see the potential of this. Any opinion or insight you have on how integrating your teachings into coaching could make it infinitely more valuable?

@Leo Gura In your one blog post you said: "What I hope you learn is that this philosophical work we do is not just theoretical or spiritual. Once you jailbreak your mind, your creative intelligence can be unleashed to advance mankind in any field. In music, film, art, novels, comic books, game design, therapy, coaching, healthcare, business, technology, science, politics, engineering, invention, etc. What I'm teaching you is not merely to realize God, but to connect your mind to God in such a profound way that it inspires you creatively to unleash innovative forms of art, business, craft, and human endeavor. You can use these teachings to become a world-class innovator and creator in any domain, and of course, earn millions along the way. If you want to become a millionaire, you better take creativity and innovation very seriously. And nothing will unleash your ability to innovate more than jailbreaking your mind. The key to innovation is reaching autonomous mind. I can show you how to do that. If your mind was connected to God, you could write a hit song that could sell millions of copies and set you up for life. So make sure you deeply consider the massive potential here. This work is not just about enlightenment. This work is about unleashing the full potential of the Infinite Mind that you are. You could pursue this work just for the sake of doing better art. If you jailbreak your mind, you can invent entirely new genres of music, or any art. God is creativity. God is Beauty. God is an artist. God is design. God is innovation. God is endless imagination. God is cleverness. God is genius." I definitely think part of my goal, amongst other things, is to use these teachings to do just that and try and revolutionise coaching and music production in my own way

Please make a video on navigating an hour self-inquiry session.

Hey guys! I recently had a call with an incredible coach and man on the spiritual path and it was extremely inspiring and insightful. I am very hungry to move on this path and at this stage of my journey, as I get qualified and learn more about this field, I would love to connect with and chat to other life coaches. Please let me know if anyone here on the forum is keen for an awesome discussion about coaching where I can ask questions and even share some of my own insights and provide value back to you!

@Leo Gura In the last year or so you have spoken about a lot of awesome topics on your blog and referenced the reading of new books on these topics. It would be be awesome if you updated the booklist with some of your most eye-opening and interesting books on some of these new topics. Would this please be possible?

@Leo Gura you said in you Advance Tips For Self-Inquiry video that in the end, with enlightenment, you receive infinity all at once, could you describe that deeper and what that entails? Also with enlightenment and self-inquiry, should I be feeling with my awareness into the underlying emptiness of what's happening around me or is that not it?

@Leo Gura Interesting, so if I laser focus in on my direct experience, enlightenment/experience of myself as Nothingness may just make itself known? What blows my mind is that you said Nothingness isn't even an experience. So I am wondering what the 'experience' entails such that I even know it happened? How do I know I become enlightened if it isn't even an experience? It's crazy mindfucking.

I imagine this is what awakening is going to feel like at 0:49 seconds

Hi everyone! I was curious to know if anybody has had powerful results with the simple technique of repeating a mantra for 5-10m per day targeted at a specific thing, for a period of 90 days? For example, if someone wants to stop eating unhealthy, they may repeat: "I only consume the most powerful nutrition to fulfil my highest vision". This type of technique, has anybody had long-term results, and any other suggestions for re-grooving the subconscious intentionally? My intention with this is to cleanup some small lingering pieces of life that I wish to clean and refine.

@Aaron p In general, did you have powerful results using mantras daily?
