ExploringReality

Notice that everything that you do is based off conformity. The way you think, move speak act all the fake ass shit that you do to make people feel comfortable, your immediate responses all that shit is conformity

This is amazing!!!! Good stuff bro

Does this apply to your second channel, actualized clips? It's great but I'm sure it's bite sized for unserious folks. Your monstrous episodes is like swimming in the Pacific ocean. It can be daunting, scary and challenging. Im watching part 2 of deconstructing science. My head is being blown away. Quick fact. I read thomas kuhns structure of scientific revolution in highschool and that lead me to quantum physics which lead me to Deepak chopra, Terence McKenna ect... Which lead me to psychedelics which lead me to ram dass, Alan Watts, and I knew there is more which lead me to you. The driving force is understanding and consciousness of Reality. Personal development serves not only survival but understanding all of life and having the deepest conversations of humanity.

Leo when are you gonna drop the ultimate video, what is deconstruction? How to go fucking insane. Lol. Deconstruction is the main vein of this work

@Leo Gura tomorrow I can sense you will probably drop it 🔥 Honestly you could be charging hundreds of dollars easily for these gems but your giving all away for free. All out of Love

Insights on this topic. Intelligence isn't confined through one metric of intelligence, it's distributed and uniquely expressed through infinite forms. Intelligence itself is formless consciousness. Pre-rational, Rational and trans rational are expressions of one universal intelligence. Intelligence isn't limited to "thinking", intelligence is embodied differently for people such as someone who lacks emotional intelligence but has artistic intelligence, emotional intelligence, martial arts intelligence ect... Pre-rational intelligence is unconscious, ignorant and reactive, rational intelligence is justified, using language as a tool of corruption for egoic survival and trans rational is intelligence that sees through the game entirely. Meta self awareness of deception, how language is co opted by ego and survival, non dual awareness of intelligence and consciousness, serving truth and understanding and not just survival.

It depends on where you are at in life. She may be helpful depending on your circumstances. Like if your a young spiral dynamics stage purple/blue person that gets walked all over in relationships or come from a dysfunctional family and are seeking an understanding to your situations she can be helpful. It's relative depending on your stage of development and where you are in life, she may provide some insights and clarity. I listened to her when I was in highschool and some of the things she said resonated and others didn't. Wasn't my fit but I kept an open mind and already understood at that point that every teacher has its own taste and people resonate with different teachers depending on what you want. Also people get sucked into idealizing a certain teacher so you have to be careful not to just consume her content blindly, any teacher in fact. Just be careful not to judge prematurely based on personal bias, listen with open ears but also be honest with yourself if she a good teacher for you, maybe not. I was at one point attracted to emeralds teachings for understanding my shadow and I love how she has a great angle from Carl Jung's collective and individual unconscious and how we project it rather than facing it, owning it and transmuting it. Teal has some good stuff too but her charisma can lure you into an idealogy and cult like dynamic. Sometimes I watch emerald because she is well versed and really dialed in on that niche on YouTube, it's helpful. Teal has some gems to. Just be careful

Hey 👋🏽 have you tried magnesium glycinate chelate capsules 400 mg? Give it go before bedtime, it's what I use and this version out of all the other magnesium supplements is the best because it isn't so laxative on the stomach, promotes restful rem sleep, muscle recovery and I feel amazing in the morning. Check your local whole foods market. You got this. Sending you love

@Leo Gura You are your own boss Leo. Really cool to live a sovereign self dependent life financially, and existentially. Self leadership at its finest. Financial stability comes with psychological stability, to be able to take full responsibility and ownership of your entire life, and to survive consciously

Basically real teachers are (DD's) Dream Disturbers. Haha. The idea is that you are asleep, people are asleep and only a few people subscribe to Truth services which disrupt the dream you are in, the nightmare you take as reality. People want renovations or someone to make the dream a little bit more nicely. But no! A real teacher wakes your ass up from the dream entirely. Most people get defensive and say "go away! Let me sleep. Only reason you are attracted to this work is because you subscribed to truth to come to your door and create a racket to disturb your dream. You have to do the work also to subscribe to Truth. Beautiful teachings by him, cuts straight through ego defenses.

@Inliytened1 Nice. I am not this body while also pretending to be this body. You have to be careful not to fall into deceptions, spiritual bypassing, and dysfunction of survival. It can be destabilizing depending on the kind of psyche you have. People chase powers, experiences and siddhis but they never stop to notice who is the one that is experiencing. I have had ego deaths, the ego comes back online but only now I understand that I am dreaming reality in the same way I beat my heart. I love to push boundaries and to explore different states to go deeper and to challenge my self. For the purpose of self liberation

This is a beautiful question and it is possible to awaken from this dream. Not just our sleeping dream, but the waking dream. What is your current experience of this inquiry? Have you fully awakened from the dream of survival and life?

@Inliytened1 Your simultaneously in two states at once. Deep rem and conscious awareness. It's interesting because sleep paralysis can easily be co-opted by the ego as " I am experiencing paralysis" but sleep paralysis can be used as a launch pad for spiritual inquiry into the nature of ego, identity and self realization as pure unformed consciousness. It's easy to get sucked into content no matter what it is, lucid dreaming ect... But the main event is to pay attention to awareness itself, to wonder what is this awareness that is conscious of this? While everything is happening, what remains aware? Realize that it's all dreams. To awaken not just from the dream, but to be aware of the dream like nature of reality, the only real thing is consciousness itself without the contents of awareness

@Inliytened1 There are techniques to use while it's happening, just in case it feels overwhelming just mentally imagine pulling yourself up a rope and you will exit smoothly. You have to do it mentally because your body is dead weight and it's counter productive to fight it physically

Yes! My experiences are as follows • body is dead asleep, the body cannot move, cannot respond, consciousness is fully awake but unbounded by the body. • I experience paranormal phenomenon, seeing entities, projections of fear of the unknown, seeing behind my head, feeling a presence of an other. I describe it as the underworld of your psyche where all the creepy crawlers dwell. •fear of death and a clinging to certainty. Great resistance. •there is a book by osho on Leo's booklist with some meditative practices and there is a specific technique used by Ramana maharshi which resulted in him experiencing ego death as a young boy, he had a paralysis but he decided to just let the body die, remain alert and just look without panicking. He noticed the body became stiff and it resulted in his enlightenment. Powerful shit if you can remain conscious throughout a paralysis,

Tying in Leo's recent episode on exploring the nature of conformity, and looking at conformity through my own direct experience I realize that most of how people treat and experience Thanksgiving is pure conformity! Thanksgiving in of itself has a core to it that we can say is the essence of why Thanksgiving was created, the kernel of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is relative to any given culture, many subcultures celebrate it differently, different foods, different ways of celebrating it, but outside the tradition and norms within a family household, the point of Thanksgiving is to experience Love. Not just absolute Love, the Love of God, but to share ones personal love with another, albeit an ethnocentric form or maybe even a stage green form of love that extends beyond familiar people onto strangers or giving back to those not well off, sharing and giving are the main themes. Thanks-Giving! People take!!! It's for Absolute Love to bust through the ego and petty human survival at least once a year someone out of the billions on this planet, might let actual Truth and Love to shine through. It's not about the food, it's about Being Love. Being grateful of existence and sharing that love with another even if they can't see that, this is Thanksgiving. At least for me lol. Being in love, seeing through the social conformity machine and still washing dishes, serving food, sharing moments and giving to those that are moving in the machine is my state of consciousness at the moment. No superiority, no moral judgment, no guilt for not eating to make others feel comfortable, no looking down on those that are operating from conformity. Free from the craving and bad food heaviness after endulging. No craving for the foods I once splurged on. No Internal resistance. Sitting at the table with family is what is meaningful while paradoxically seeing it has no meaning is a beautiful thing, like an impossible shape. Knowing their are those that don't have a family, food. I give and extend my love to them and even further to the animals and further into all beings in the universe and finally further to God as my self. Self love.

Conformity really starts when we are children because that equals our survival and is necessary. But at a certain point in our own development and maturity you have to integrate and transcend conformity to sovereignty. The educational system is a conformity machine and we are taught to conform! Don't think for yourself, other authority figures are right and your own thinking is wrong, memorize test etc we're not taught to question everything, to trust our own experience, not just to study and admire great thinkers and figures of history but to self-actualize our own potential as unique sovereign individuals A very great quote by Terence McKenna "my goal is not to connect with the inner child, but to transcend culturally induced forms of neoteny".

Have him watch some of Leo's older episodes on the implications of spiral Dynamics and his episode stage orange of spiral dynamics

Holy fuck Leo, I've spent 3 hours rewinding and rewatching the first hour of the episode. Because a lot of this stuff slips in one ear and out the other and I'm very careful to not overlook every sentence you're saying. I'm not taking it on as dogma and just parroting you, I'm really listening. There's just so much and I appreciate you breaking down David Chapman's website and clarifying those four key distinctions

The intro quote; my first name is also Robert, cool. Also David's website is " in the cells of an eggplant"?

I've only taken LSD and psilocybin. And here are the levels of the experiences that I have had. 1• Body sensation, dreamy but not sleepy. 2•Very deep thoughts, reflect on past, parents and forgiveness of those that hurt me, even forgiving mom and dad for anything I cried about as they raised me. Seeing how I never truly loved them, only manipulated them to get something to serve me. Kind of like how you never truly love or care about someone until they're dead and you're watching them in the casket, except that I was able to have this realization while they were alive. 3• Preparing for departure. Getting ready to surrender all expectations and to be humble and open to what is about to happen. 4• Acceptance of death, suffering and pain. Putting the light of consciousness on the dark side of reality. Embracing all of existence, especially the parts that do not serve my ego or survival. 5• Panic, despair and total break from reality and sense of self. Some people scream at this point, I usually tell someone and hold onto their arm for dear life. 6• Then reality sucks you in like a whirlpool or black hole. I become infinite, God. I'm drowning in an ocean of hallucinations, I become cosmic and universal. My entire sense of existence is cracked and then completely shattered. 7 Complete surrender and utter embrace of reality, you see that your existence was the ultimate trip. You know you are God dreaming up all this and lost in its own infinity and creation. I've even seen God as myself, like a little God and a Big God. The little God is me having these insights and realizations and the big God, completely stoned on the floor, crying, laughing and not in control of the self that I thought I was in control of. Completely outside the survival game. Death is only the flip side of life. There is also a rebirth, a complete transformation. Your egoic patterns still come back but you can never be asleep to them again, even if you do get lost and distracted in the dream. You can never be fully asleep now.

I totally see what you're saying. I never liked the smell of cannabis either, I acquired a taste for it just through pure conformity of seeing the people close to me praising the smell, using slang words that reflect their love of it but it was only because they were influence by hip hop, people around them smoking etc. If I'm completely honest with myself I don't mind the smell because I got used to it but at the same time it is very unpleasant. Knowing about the THC isolate being more powerful and potent I can use that sparringly instead of rolling up a joint like a copycat, although there's nothing wrong with smoking a joint in and of itself

All I drink is water from plastic bottles, what do you recommend? There's so much social media bullshit and nonsense that floods the information ecosystem that it's hard to know what changes to make.

People can smoke cannabis flowers habitually, I like to do it sometimes during the night, what do you mean don't use THC chronically? Why? Compared to smoking a joint chronically
