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?

I have been contemplating this point for many years, and I still feel like part of me struggles with getting true clarity on it. Recently, I have begun the pursuit of my purpoes in life coaching and I couldn't be more excited. Before this discovery, from around 8 years ago, I realized that all I wanted to ever do in this reality was produce incredible music - this is something I think about almost every time I isten to music. However, I always had this mental block which knew that from my current age of 27, if I was to pursue a purpose in creating music, in order for me to create a successful purpose out of it from which I could successfully live, would require many hours every single day of learning, for at least the next 8-10 years, which is fine, but i realized that would mean reading less books, watching less of Leo's content, having less time for spiritual practices and less of a lot of the study of self-actualization simply due to the level of work needed to pursue the life purpose, which is something that makes my mind very uncomfortable. This has alwasys been one reason I have opted for a life purpose that is within the realm of self-development (something like what Leo does and something like life coaching etc.) so that I can involve myself heavily in my life purpose and be doing those things at the same time. So, my main point is that I have held myself from learning music and pursuing it, due to the amount of hours it will take, for a decade, and considering I have a full-time job as a software engineer, I fear that this will diminish my ability to read lots of books, study Leo's content and delve deep into the more advanced levels of epistomology, development, metaphysics, spirituality etc. I also know, one can't switch over to a career in music in a short period such as 3 years as it take much longer to get very good at producing electronic style music. So when I discovered that my 2 potential life purpose's are in music and coaching/self-development, I opted for coaching because it's far more intimitely connected to all the books and videos and self-actualisation in Leo's videos. So I feel like I won't miss out as much. I have missed out on 5 years of making music based on this block. I hope this makes sense. @Leo Gura I would really appreciate your wisdom on this point.

@Leo Gura What's the standard dose of LSD you did for most of your trips where you had profound insights? Also, what's the most micrograms of LSD you have done in a single trip?

@Leo Gura Big respect to you for doing what you have done, even with health problems. Makes your work even more admirable.

Hey everyone, Just wondering, is it effective to dissolve an LSD paper tab in a bottle of water and take a small sip to simulate microdosing? Will the acid dissolve effectively off the paper, has anybody tried this?

Leo, do you know what already mindfucks me in a way before I have had the true mindfuck, is thinking that one day in the future I have an awakening where I realize that my whole life I thought I was following you and all these teachers and reading all these books of people pursuing the same thing as me, only to awaken to the fact that nobody existed and they were all just my own consciousness as God, designed by me as God to wake myself up. You have spoken about these things before, and I am thinking wow, that would be LITERALLY FUCKING CRAZY TO AWAKEN TO, LIKE SERIOUSLY. A God level mindfuck.

@Leo Gura Fuck, it's the adventure of the discoveries of consciousness that make Reality such an amazing thing to be, it gets me out of bed in the morning!!

It is pretty daunting to feel into my own consciousness being the only thing that exists and has ever existed, with nobody to turn to or any authority to rely on. The ultimate solitude of God in a sense. Equally beautiful and freeing as well as terrifying.

@Leo Gura is it the case that you and all your teachings are all happening within my consciousness? Right now as I experience my "bubble of consciousness", is it the only bubble on consciousness happening right now??

but then is Leo having a similar experience to me, with your consciousness and your dream? See that's where I get a bit stuck.

I am starting to see that no matter how far I venture, be it in "physical" reality or in psychedelic trips, you can go as deep and as far as you can and it is all still happening inside your own consciousness? Like, the whole of my reality as I have ever known it, including everyone and everything, is just my own consciousness? Including the fact that every way that I have believed the world objectively is, in terms of good and bad, evil, meaningful etc. is just my own consciousness of it. Like it's been my own map I've been experiencing, not some objective map.

@Leo Gura and with mushrooms?

@The Crocodile That makes sense, but then if it's nothing why was it even defined in the first place, or how could it be discovered if it is nothing?

this is beautiful

If there is no difference between anything, what about, for example, a human being able to walk and a rock not being able to walk?

@Leo Gura I am struggling to realize the statement that nothing = something. How would it apply in a situation where there is a book with the perception of a red colour versus the absence of the book that doesn't have the perception of anything. How are those equal? Am I taking it too literally?

I have recently committed to building my life purpose of being a coach and self-actualisation teacher, but I also have a dream to get deep in music production and make music one day as a master of sound. I also really wish to pursue chess in a dedicated way one day and I have a goal to maybe become a GM. My point is that I am so passionate about life that I feel like I want to end up having pursued multiple purposes. Is this viable?
