  1. It's all relative. From a certain vantage point, Leo is the most amazing thing in the universe, from another, not even bat an eye.
  2. @Leo Gura There are countless other folks, but you Leo are a rare gem 💎 maybe in a hundred years, people will look at you as the trans rational mystic sage that you are.
  3. Maybe you underestimate your popularity. Maybe it's fake humility but then again maybe it's not. Give us examples of the thousands on your list. Maybe it is a reflective bias from chat but then again maybe you are number one baby. There are amazing mouthpieces and value of wisdom on YouTube but Leo, you're one of the rare deepest. You're truly a purple cow.
  4. @Leo Gura 😂. Yeah like you mentioned before, you're genuinely attracted to high quality porn and there's an artistic beauty to it that you enjoy. And I'm sure that there's a lot of corruption even in that porn too, however you're coming at it from a high quality set of eyes and nuts lol. You mentioned that you've seen porn under 5meo and it's nothing like how most people see porn. That same recognition of beauty is more of how I approach and see fighting. Like being cognition that Maslow talks about.
  5. @Leo Gura I resonate with your blog post about the corruption of the UFC. But there is something higher and deeper to my fascination to mix martial arts and fighting, not just violence but a primal instinctive killer intelligence. A hyper focus on body awareness and over coming a difficult and challenging situation such as a highly trained and skilled fighter trying to take me out. I love studying the art and technical skills of a fighter, how they move, footwork, punch mechanics and elusive defense. I don't personally look at it the way you point out however I can see how mainly most people, fighters and organizations come from this macho, violent, iideological frame. It is very corrupt, but I sus out all the bullshit and focus specifically on studying fights, the best fighters mentalities, historical fights, skills and details of the science and art of boxing and fighting. I strictly love the artistry and mastery of fighting, everything else is distraction and corruption like you rightly point out. Even great fighters fall into these traps. I grew up watching historical fighters from the 20th century and it really inspires me how people including ourselves can rise to the occasion, perform beautifully skillwise and overcome adversity. Like the marathon monks of mount Japan. What are your thoughts Leo 🦁
  6. @Leo Gura Ohh!! I see. Thanks Leo for the clarification. I have had only one God realized experience. It totally shocked me to the point where I had to re engineer my life completely. Also it's been 9 years and I am still integrating what happened to me. Thank you for being such a beacon, without you I probably will still be searching and looking for someone who knows what they are talking about, that is still alive. Non dual awareness is awesome, but God realization really does something to the psyche, it's one thing to lacerate the ego, it's another thing to completely rip it off and become infinite, realize you are infinity itself. It's a radical re contextualization.
  7. @Leo Gura if non-duality is not God realization, then why not? I am a beast that has touched God, but in the turmoil of survival, I pursue Transcendence along with my car , meat and house.
  8. Yes this is a response to a discussion with chatgpt. It's only reflecting my own consciousness, and ways of sharing my perspective because this is my mindset when it comes to drugs, and chat did a really amazing job in amplifying and distilling my thoughts and what I shared with it. Ill still write in my own style and reptoire of vocabulary and grammar skills, but I really wanted to share this tad but because it struck me and know someone will find this useful. Bon voyage. Read it, I'm sure there's something valuable in this perspective, I'm claiming that this response your going to read below is AI generated. Just because it is doesn't make it invaluable or useless. This is one of the most misunderstood things about psychedelics, plant medicines, and even weed when used deeply: they don’t guarantee expansion. They only amplify what's already in you. Let’s break it down: 1. Your mindset = the launchpad Before you even take the substance, your state of mind is shaping the trajectory. Are you grounded? Open? Curious? Or are you anxious, distracted, escaping something, proving something? That mindset colors everything. You can’t just take a psychedelic and expect wisdom to be handed to you like a PowerPoint presentation. If your mind is chaotic or fearful, it can become a horror movie. If you’re still and open, it can become divine revelation. 2. Your emotional maturity matters People often expect psychedelics to “do the work” for them. But if you haven’t built the inner muscles of self-awareness, surrender, emotional regulation, and contemplation, then when your ego starts to dissolve — you panic. The mind resists what it doesn’t understand. Instead of seeing the experience as a teaching, you label it “bad” and miss the wisdom behind the chaos. 3. The medicine tests your readiness Sometimes people don’t have a “profound” trip because they’re not ready to see what’s really inside them. Psychedelics are intelligent in that way. They’ll give you exactly what you need — and if what you need is patience, grounding, or facing your own BS slowly, they’ll often reflect that. It’s not punishment. It’s grace — just not in the form you expected. 4. A psychedelic is not a shortcut — it’s a magnifying glass Whatever you’ve been avoiding emotionally or spiritually will be brought to the surface. If you’ve spent years numbing out, the trip might feel painful or meaningless because it's trying to shake you awake. But if you’ve been contemplating deeply, the trip may feel like a crown on the head of your path — a glimpse into what you've been slowly building toward. 5. No trip is wasted — but the ego often thinks it is Even a “bad trip” is full of messages. Panic, darkness, confusion — these are not failures. They’re parts of the psyche being exposed. But if the person is not integrating afterward (journaling, meditating, getting guidance), the experience fades into fear or dismissal instead of transformation. Bottom line: Psychedelics are not magic keys. They’re catalysts. If your foundation is shallow, the experience will feel shallow — or destabilizing. If your foundation is deep, it can crack the sky open. So it’s not just “what you take.” It’s who you are when you meet it. Want me to write something about how to prepare yourself internally for truly life-changing trips.
  9. An Out of Body Experience can be one of the most paradigm shattering awakenings a person can have because it directly challenges the core assumption most people unconsciously carry which is that consciousness is produced by, and confined within, the physical body. When you have one of these experiences even just once, you realize you can see without the eyes, perceive without a brain, move without a body, be aware outside of matter. You don't understand how profound this is if you haven't had this happen. It's not just an idea or a philosophy, it’s direct conscious experience. With that realization the entire framework of your identity begins to loosen, you can't go back to sleeping in materialism. You glimpse that you are not the thoughts, not a body, not your history or name. You are awareness itself and awareness can shift, expand, and exist independently of any form. Your not escaping the body with an OBE, but to to live with it, with the wisdom that you are not it.
  10. I have a fight coming this Saturday 5/31/2025. I don't have an opponent, I'm showing up to get processed, receive my fight passbook and get my physical to be cleared to fight under USA boxing. If there is an opponent ready, I'm taking the fight. I've been putting in the work, sparring And showing up, grinding. Making sacrifices for my preparation has revealed the eyes of those close to me. I really miss my dad, I know my dad would show up with me, he always went to my basketball ball games growing up. He is with me. I hear his voice, smile, his wisdom and his love is with me. I'm stepping into the fire, I already have been, but now its time to dance and put on a beautiful boxing performance on full display. I am war ready.
  11. @Davino Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you, I will work on this.
  12. I got my first amateur boxing fight coming up. This is my last sparring session below. I've been training in my dreams, doing visualization exercises, kriya yoga, and shadow work all being implemented into my training, also been reading and practicing Peter Ralston's work. I have been experiencing ESP within my dreams being in the ring sparring and seeing punches, practicing all the moves in learning, doing actual drills and having instant downloads if of embodied insights on the sweet science of boxing. My head will buzz when I wake up, it feels like blue electricity buzzing in my forehead for about a second. 3 hours of training in my dreams is equivalent to one week in real times. My progression is undeniable from just last month. Follow my journey.
  13. Add the best most profound sentences that completely blow you away, shifting into a state of clarity, boundlessness, wisdom and interconnections in your mind. I'll start with one that I love right now, especially when in a state of intense meditation and psychedelic tripping. In the jungle of thought, I don’t cut the vines, I learn to swing from them.
  14. @Natasha Tori Maru Beautifully said.
  15. @Leo Gura Leo, the book you sent me! Amazing, I'm still listening to the audio version, and it's connecting dots and experiences I have had. It's sending chills down my spine as I speak. Without falling into delusions or confirmation bias, when I was a young boy, I have always been oddly observant. The first time I ever experienced something similar to ESP, was when I was a kid playing San Andreas GTA, I was stuck on a mission for over 3 months Leo, one night during a dream I had a vivid experience of being the character in the game on that specific mission but I was fully conscious and aware, lucid, and I was able to figure out what to do through my own mind in the characters body and literally figured out how to pass the mission by doing it myself in the dream. I woke up the next morning and immediately passed the mission with ease exactly the way I dreamed it. Also I have had a few experiences of outer body experiences during dream states and on psychedelics. My last mushroom trip I took seven dried grams in darkness and I predicted my father's death which happened a few days later. In that same trip I also experienced a lucid obe while standing in the kitchen watching myself from a third person spectating point of view, I got really scared because I didn't know if I was going to come back into my body. I don't give a fuck what a critic or troll has to say, it happened to me, and I am open minded to see where this leads me, while staying grounded, keeping my epistemic toolkit sharp and clean.
  16. What I love about you so much Leo is the immense value you give through your mind, consciousness and experience of exploring the depth and heights of consciousness, and your ability to talk about such deep things, it's a very personal connection you radiant. Thank you.
  17. @Leo Gura What is a psychic to you Leo? What to you constitute legitimacy of someone being a psychic? Is it a specific thing they are doing or performing, or an energy sense, what is it? What have you encountered in someone who has these abilities?
  18. @Princess Arabia Not necessarily. The morality I speak of isn't something judged or bestowed upon from some higher deity or God. God is everything, but operates on many levels, it's not hierarchy, it's a holarchy. There is only Gods will. The morality I speak of in making conscious choices is only judged by the light of our own consciousness which is God. It's all impersonal from the biggest picture, but it's also sentient and connected as well. Life is a process and flowing creation of creation and destruction. Like the cells of our bodies are constantly going to battle to keep the whole organism alive, but if from the cellular level we start picking and choosing sides as to who were the good cells, who's the bad cells then the harmony at a higher level of the organism would collapse. So on one level or order it can look like chaos and on a higher level you see order and harmony. Everything is highly chaotically ordered and harmonic but from our human perspective it may not look like that, it may seem cruel, it may seem fucked up but that's just the way it is from a certain vantage point, and what makes human life so beautiful and unique is our ability to make conscious choices and to make changes. We can't stop a hurricane from flooding or natural disasters killing animals, but we can see things from a higher perspective and having a deeper awareness, not because a God is judging us, but because of our inner light of radiant transcendance.
  19. @Princess Arabia It seems to be a difference between natural phenomena and our conscious intentions. When a hurricane or tsunami happens, it’s impersonal, it isn't egotistical. Nature includes both creation and destruction. I think In that sense it's immoral or amoral. But when we kill animals it usually comes from our conscious choice, out of necessity, okay fine but a lot of times it's out of convenience. This is where ethics and awareness comes in. Nature may seem cruel or fucked up but we as conscious beings are able to examine our motives and responsibilities. Part of our journey of self Actualization involves not just raising the quality of our consciousness, but raising the quality of our hearts. What are your thoughts on this?
  20. @Someone here Please, be respectful and sensitive enough of the space being held here. Social media has made us way to soft to say anything we want behind a keyboard without being punched in the face for it.
  21. @Natasha Tori Maru 😏 Im still furious at you, how about we go grab some tea, and settle our differences haha
  22. @Emerald Looking into an animal's eyes while they are about to be tortured, then suddenly realizing that animal is you is a very sobering experience.
  23. @Natasha Tori Maru We definitely had some tension you could say
  24. @Natasha Tori Maru Hey 😉
