A solid marriage for me is to grab a tea with someone, sit on the super moon watching that new actualized.org episode and dipping our toes into the sky laughing at nothing

It does seem to be chat, but that's okay because I'm trying to understand the Dynamics of what you described. I've noticed some women that are very reactive, emotionally shaky and very projective of their insecurities, fears and expectations onto their partners. They have a script of how a relationship is supposed to be and they mirror their expectations from the influence of modern dating portrayed in reality TV shows and romantic movies, by which if you don't follow the script of their expectations or you don't respond in a certain way, they will twist it on you and make your perceived wrongness the highlight of any interaction. They constantly need your validation and reassurance because they can't handle their own emotional states, so they need someone that can emotionally babysit them, or coddle them so they feel you love them. Because if you don't, oh boy! Hahah get ready for micromanaging, manipulation and tension in the relationship. Sorry for my digression 😆 Don't give up your sovereignty of mind, peace of mind, goals, passion and purpose for a woman. Not out of disrespect of her, but because you love yourself and respect yourself way to much to allow anyone, not just some women to neuter you man

@Natasha Tori Maru I certainly will report back within the weeks and months to come with my experience and change from using just 5 grams of creatine everyday. Yes! I am aware of the ATP system and how creatine actively enhances this and retracts it. The more we study all this stuff the more fascinating it becomes. Our bodies are these extremely sophisticated, advanced and highly intelligent biological machines, and using just the right nootropics and supplements along with a healthy nutritious diet and lots of hydration really amplifies and tunes our nervous systems. I'm taking 2,000 mg of cordycep mushrooms in the morning because it also is an ATP blaster and creatine in my smoothie. It feels like I'm flying a fighter jet 😎 Very good. Curiosity and discipline is a beautiful relationship to have with yourself, I totally relate. You know that's a very good topic to contemplate, curiosity. What is that? Not to go into that territory here but just to spark that light of curiosity into the nature of curiosity. I'm saying this because I'm an extremely curious person and I'm willing to look over any edge just to see what it is.

@Natasha Tori Maru Amazing! Totally understand you. Your killing it BTW 💪🙌 What kind of coffee and tea do you drink? I have matcha powder, I also love "Celsius" sometimes or "bucked up" energy drinks. What are your thoughts about those? Obviously monster, Red Bull and others are notoriously synthetic and added with additional layers of unclean stuff. So I'm curious as to know what are the best cleaners healthiest energy drinks, that shit is addicting. The creatine for sure I will continue to use, especially for the explosive and power Burst in between rounds and also for muscle fatigues. I spar 2-3 times a week so I get hit in the head pretty often and wonder if there's any benefits to that.

That's a pretty neat and clear explanation. Thank you brother, I would love to get my hands on this. I have had nausea in the past from psilocybin. This sounds like something that I would take in a small dose at first and just sit at home by myself, do yoga read the book list and contemplate existence and my own life.

@Natasha Tori Maru Girl! I have creatine at home and I only take 5 g of it in powder form and water and I have been experimenting with it for a few weeks, one thing I noticed is that my body feels extremely stronger. I usually walk around between 135 and 140 lb but I bulked up to 155 because of creatine. It's cool but I'm not used to the extra weight and I feel more comfortable lighter but not a big deal, I definitely feel the water retention you do need to drink a lot of water with it. I'm going to start using it again especially since I get hit in the head a lot from sparring I think it is something that I will continue to use.

Danm!! From a MMA point of view, holy shit!! But from any other perspective, damn lol Recall that movie blood and Bone, the very last scene where he fights at that huge mansion

More gems. Yeah it's like our character is baked into the moment by moment decisions we make with ourselves. We can maintain our integrity or break it by lying to ourselves or being self honest. When you're mindful in the moment before you make a deceitful or non-integral decision, it adds this layer of self-reflective conscience or inner barometer of integrity that makes the allure of such choices less attractive and instead we take a more mature route.

That's the difficult work, embodying Truth, not just as a philosophy but as our entire way of living. There's a powerful book by Peter Ralston on Leo's Booklist that really explains the difference between enlightenment and transformation, you can't miss it. Basically, even when you have an enlightenment or an awakening, that doesn't change your situations or egoic survival habits, changing ourselves is a different matter but when you can understand the confusion between the two, you can use both to to increase consciousness and to embody those insights rather than splitting them both and not aligning our lives with the Truth. Yo your a cool dude, I seen your videos over the years🔥 stay blessed man

I just watched Leo's episode "What are Holons? Understanding Holism part 1" incredible how that concept ties into this.

@Leo Gura have you tried this? What can you say about this chemical? Im interested in it but I want to hear people's perspectives and I know your's is uniquely valuable bro.

Amen to that brother. That's what self actualization is. I just love conversations like this.

What's also true is that I can do my best to be less corrupt. There's a very erotic strange relationship between Truth and Corruption. That's what all this Self Actualization work is, from being this corrupt survival zombie, to striving and thriving to become selfless and wise sages. There will still be corruption, maybe we can never be totally free of human corruption but I don't know that and I am open to that as a possibility to be completely free of corruption. It's a hell of nut to crack.

Check out Terrence McKenna's lectures on cephalopods and octopus intelligence in relation to psilocybin mushrooms. basically what he is suggesting is that when you're hallucinating on tryptamine hallucinogens you have a visual experience, what he called visible apprehension, the hallucinations are visibly held in the mind. And he also describes how these entities that he would see during his trips would speak to him in a language that you could see and this is directly related to octopuses intelligence because they wear their language on their skin and you can see what they intend and what they communicate based on the changes in the colors of their skin. And our problem as a species especially as society, there's a lot of ambiguity in our communication system. And this octopus communication intelligence is a very good model for the kind of clarity and communication that we can move towards, rather than relying on small mouth noises

Hey man, sending you some love and prayers. I hope you stumble on something in your path that brings fulfillment, joy and happiness. Hang in there, it's tough but you can handle any situation that life throws at you. You will persevere, you will rise out the mud and blossom in ways you cannot imagine possible right now. All your pain and suffering will pass, it will be better.

@Elliott Listen bro

Anything above Truth Is CORRUPTION!!!

No matter how tense these topics can be, your response is very mature and level headed here. That's something I can take with me so I don't get sucked into a negative storm of emotions and defensiveness. Thanks bro

Again, so much gems and gold here. Is it possible to love the truth while surviving? Because I'm sure some will think that survival would be dropped and one wouldn't care about the body dying right now because they would bask in Truth and existence. Also is self Actualization the Pinnacle of Truth?

This shit will make one drop to their knees in prayer and tears. Thank you for laying it out so starkly, it hit me now.

Yimpa!! Hey bro

Truth and Consciousness are the same

Leo, I can only imagine the mind games you must have dealt with when dating your ex's. What are some examples that you can share here with your girlfriends that completely fucked with your head. Did you get into some nasty arguments with them? And how did you handle situations in which your girlfriend would make it all about her feelings? Like for example let's say you take accountability for something harsh you said or how you said it. But then she doesn't take any accountability and makes it all about her feelings. Have you ever dated a fan? Does your ex watch your work? Especially your latest video? I wonder what the hell she thinks of you now lol

No it doesn't.

You said the left is worst. I'm genuinely asking you, not mocking
