ExploringReality

@Thought Art Don't get hung up on the character or person, it's about the information and if it works for you. You can either get hung up on Leo's personality or how he talks or you can focus on applying the principles and information to live a better, conscious life.

@OBEler Interesting, I happen to be more introverted and introspective rather than outwards but I took the personality traits test and I am an ENFJ. I've had crazy insane mystical experiences and numerous "psychotic breaks from reality and have experienced some pretty far out things. My sense of reality is loose and am on a razors edge with ordinary consciousness. Any moment there can be huge tidal wave of a radical shift in my awareness. So I am open to exploring consciousness in a rich way, but I am also cautious with delusions and self deception which I am so thankful for finding Leo and being grounded by his guidance in metaphysics and epistemology. Billions is only a small fraction of infinity. Your shifting through Infinity. Reality is not static, it is fluid. It may sound wacky but it's not about believing this is true, but by taking the full idea in its depth and contemplating and wrapping your mind around it, maybe there is the possibility of having a breakthrough in consciousness.

@Leo Gura There is only this Now moment of existence, but every perspective is a different angle of this same moment viewed from a different point of view. Because reality is infinite, consciousness shifts through Infinity to create the illusion of continuity. This seemingly linear perception of reality is created by the illusion of continuity. Reality is Infinite and eternally present. Infinity is consciousness shifting through Infinity.

I am training with a world class boxing coach, I am utilizing Kriya yoga, breathing exercises and shamanic breathing outside the gym, connecting mind and body into peak physical training and performance. I am willing to be broken down and built from the ground up through hard work, repetition and being dedicated to the process. Using the spirit of the Jaguar and wild cats, I am channeling my own abilities and power into my training, having the edge over world class fighters. I am pushing myself past limits and expressing universal Consciousness artistically into the rhythm of boxing and fighting. I can withstand and overcome any adversity and any challenge that life throws at me.

I am grateful for this experience of consciousness. I love reality. I love being fucked by reality. I love seeing the beauty of existence. I want my mind to be penetrated by wisdom and insights that make me cry and ecstatic. I love changing. I embrace trial, failure and adversity. I want to experience pain fully. I love exploring psychedelics and raising my consciousness. I love self help. I love growing and also accepting myself. I love paradox. I love learning how the mind works, I love reading books. I love boxing. I really love skateboarding. I love having deep conversations with people about anything. I love questioning and learning how to ask better questions.

Is the Universe one experience? What is experience? Taking skepticism full circle throws you into some kind of a free fall where you question and seriously wonder any and everything. Wow, there is a huge difference between little skepticism in which you are skeptical of only those things that don't fit your prior's and biases, and big skepticism in which you turn your own skepticism on itself and questioning the entire process of the standard of rigor and woowoo. Truth is a sleeping beast.

This is me.

Yes I have experienced this, while on a Low dose of shrooms under half a gram, or one tab of LSD, my body feels heavy in the beginning, but then my mind becomes one pointed, allowing me to stretch into a full split, my body feels very warm from the energy being released and I do callisthenics and body workouts. My breathing is long and slow. Doing kriya yoga or pranayama breath control for weeks really helps with the breathing from the diaphragm. Practice breathing exercises from Rickson Gracie, wim hoff and kriya yoga practices and you will feel the difference in body awareness and your ability to breathe will transform.

Yes there is a great book on your book list Leo that has helped me tremendously. Also check out Martin ball PhD, there may be something there for you, good luck.

@Leo Gura the state of your followers ahhaa

@Leo Gura Love is the essence of forms. Leo are you into wacky new age stuff? Like channeling, the skingularity, extraterrestrial hybrids on earth, past lives, and all kinds of weird shit? Maybe I'm just prone but when my consciousness fluxuates, I tend to veer off into paranormal energetic New age stuff. Maybe it depends on ones state of consciousness, but I love that shit.

@JayT79 Before taking the mushrooms, spend an hour being still, opening your heart. Think about everyone you love, and forgive anyone who has ever hurt you. Forgive yourself for any wrong doings, think about how precious life is and how miraculous life is. Take the mushrooms on a light stomach, turn of and dim the lights, take of your clothes, and feel your body. Do some stretches and feel loose, loosen your muscles and fall in love with your body. Allow yourself to fully surrender to the experience, trust in yourself, let it come, let it go, don't hold on to anything, it all passes, all flows. ❤️

@OBEler The mind can do anything. I haven't done psychedelics in a 5 years, my last trip was very challenging, the mushroom told me to focus on improving my life situation, save money, take care of my family and focus on my work. Then I can come back when all my ducks are in a row.

@OBEler Our notion of time is linear, I was in a non linear non-local state of consciousness. You think you have a mind that is projecting thoughts, but I can see that reality is infinite mind, not happening to someone. It is happening of itself. It could be from your point of view, it is an experience, I cannot give you that. I am not religious, but I am very inquisitive, love to learn different perspectives and I value consciousness exploration and unraveling deep existential insights. Could be delusional.

@Leo Gura Infinity is love because love is Reality's acceptance and embrace of Itself.

@OBEler Yes, imagine the first time you ever had sex or head until you cum, now take that feeling of exhilaration and excitement a 100,000,000 x more when you discover and Awaken to an existential Truth of Reality. Realizing and having a direct experience of your consciousness being independent of the body brings me exhilaration and awe. Space and time are illusions of eternity and infinity. That same trip I also was mentally in the middle of a crossroads of infinity. I was in the intersection of realities Cross connecting, I could see lives come and go, decisions being made and universes creating and destroying, stars explode, astroids collide, life forming, different species and the struggles of my ancestors all the way to my immediate family.

The very first time I did psilocybin mushrooms I did 0.8 g and I left home after 30 minutes of consumption thinking that it didn't work and my friend told me that he apologized but I told him it's okay I give him a hug I told him thank you and I left. As soon as I went home I sat down on the couch because my body started feeling tingly and the TV was on and my little brother was playing skate game online, then suddenly as I was looking at the TV and the characters inside the video game skateboarding, my entire sense of consciousness jumped out of my body and I went and teleported inside the video game in my Consciousness and the characters became one and I was inside the video game looking around stunned that the character became alive, or rather my consciousness became one with the video game and in that very moment I unlocked a secret of the universe of consciousness and I knew for certain that Consciousness is boundless and without form. Then what would seem like an instant my Consciousness shifted right back into myself on the couch and I looked at my brother and he looked at me and what appeared to be slow motion, he said to me " you took them didn't you"? And I looked at him and smiled. Within 2 to 3 hours of the trip I got so excited but my entire body was stoned and you could just tell I was intoxicated but I grabbed my skateboard ran out of the house and jumped on the bus to take me to the nearest skate park and I got on that bus and I was stumbling and people are looking at me like what the heck lol. But I was so excited to go out and skate and live because I discovered that Consciousness is absolute, because for Consciousness to have the ability to not be bound is extraordinary and gave me so much energy. Before my life was dull and now it is vibrant and alive, I definitely felt motivated if you ask me

@Leo Gura God is an infinite feedback loop. Nothing is truly lost. Creation and Destruction are inseparable.

@mmKay I really resonate with your response 🙏🏽 thank you

Whoaaa!!! Congratulations, as a fellow psychedelic explorer I will check it out.

Being on the outskirts of society for me was being outside and trying to understand the social condition, my indoctrinations and questioning the status quo. I read books on psychedelics and non Duality before I experimented with them. I always took seriously to do homework on substances or foods before I take them, but realized everyone around me just took anything they thought would get them high, well low actually haha unconsciousness. There is a paranoia when I'm about to take a psychedelic because the legal status and the stupidity of people's minds and opinions and people can easily mess with your mind energetically. I've never tried anything except tryptamines and cannabis.

The word drug wasn’t created by the government, but its meaning was politicized and manipulated to control public perception. This blurred the lines between harmful substances and those with potential benefits (like psychedelics). The real issue is how the narrative around "drugs" has been shaped, not the word itself. Especially when we're young we get taught that drugs are bad, and were given very poor examples of people, family, and others using drugs such as nicotine, cigarettes, alcohol and other harder substances. We aren't taught and educated enough on the history of drugs, evolution of mankind's relationship and transition's of plants and substances to distinguish between good drugs and bad drugs. Drugs that lower consciousness and health vs drugs that raise consciousness and are non dependent. Of course addiction is an important thing, but teaching people that the culture and media of drugs portrayed is not only misleading but is rigged against you. Why is alcohol accepted and encouraged but mushrooms and dmt are not? We live in a twisted society. Drug choice is important and education on which drugs are beneficial and which drugs are not. Let's face it, your brain and body is made of drugs, neurotransmitters. Brain soup of drugs and chemicals. You can't escape this no matter what, your always using drugs, foods, spices, herbs, plants and synthetic drugs.

@Princess Arabia Maybe it was him, maybe it wasn't. But the information is clear.

@Leo Gura Those are some gnarly practices that are most direct and designed to not fuck around. What about your video "How to become enlightened"? That's some powerful shit right there.
