Thanks Leo! Your content is extremely insightful. I was also contemplating this to myself previously. I believe the ego is selfish, and God is Selfless. So the ego cannot control God while it's operating from a selfish perspective. Unrelated to this video, I had a question for you. I watched your 30 Awakenings in 30 Days video. You mentioned you were getting pulled into the infinite dimensions of Love. And you were conscious that if you go there, you would take everyone else with you. Yet you also wanted say goodbye to your parents before you leave. Which one do you believe is True now? Would your parents continue existing in a separate dimension of infinity without you, or would you have awakenen completely and taken everyone else with you?

In your psychedelic experiences, have you been able to experience God level creator consciousness? Basically, I am wondering if you could somehow modify something beyond your mind (what is being perceived in a "sober" state) during your psychedelic experience, and then have that change remain after you come back? Or do you believe such levels would require a sacrifice of the self?

Hypothetically, since we are all equal imaginations with the same access to Consciousness, could we prove this is true by gathering as a group, find one person who would be willing to go to the deep end of the consciousness experience with these understandings in mind, merge completely with God, apply some changes to reality from God mode, and then come back?

That's interesting. Have you watched Leo's videos on holism? I've always been in favor of more unity within our country, and I feel like this desire for separatism from Quebec is hindering us on the self-actualization journey. Curious what's your perspective on how that ties in with self actualization.

Very Interested, followed your work for nearly 3 years now, and I have so many questions and wanna learn more.

I like SOLVED with Mark Manson

That definitely helps, thank you. I agree I was moving too fast. I feel like it'll just drive me crazy to keep thinking about this experience at home alone with meditation and contemplation. I don't think it's right for me. I am considering consulting a psychotherapist instead. I wasn't really looking for going into something so deep and existential at this point, I was more so hoping for getting a more standard happy non-dual experience and some insights about my mind.

First trip ever. Went with 2 grams of Golden Teacher. I've read that it's a medium dose, and I expected mild effects, which I realized was arrogant of me going into the trip. I had some trips intentions going into it, particularly around resolving some issues in my life and better understand how my mind works at a subconscious level. I was trying to be more happy and positive and appreciate of things as they are. Initially, the trip seemed mild. I had some lights hallucinations - like seeing how colors are perceived differently. As I tried writing down and making sense of the experience, I started seeing myself from a different perspective. It was like I was observing someone else writing down things, but it wasn't really me. I saw my hand transform - and it reminded me of Harry Potter. Likely because I've been rewatching the movies in the days prior to the trip - it got stuck inside of me. I started imagining a whole bunch of flying creatures like in the movies too. I started wondering - if I am viewing myself from a third-person perspective - what is real? And I started wondering about existential questions - if I am not real, why am I here? Why did I choose to be in this life, in this moment? I then got a first-person experience of reality where I realized that reality does not exist obectively. Instead, reality only exists if I imagine it to be so. I then recognized that life is game. And I appreciated that it's beautiful, and I also really appreciated how stable life is - the simplicity of life. The experience was so chaotic and everything was shifting so quickly - simplicity seemed nice. I continued wondering about life - and I asked myself, why can't I go and shift into life as another person and then come back? The response I got is that it's just not how this works. Though I didn't fully understand how it actually works. I tried shifting back into the practical things I was trying to focus on for my trip - but instead, I got much deeper on the existential level. I felt that this reality exists because I want to be the person I am. Because it's interesting to be the character I am. There is an associated a "main character" energy to it. Then I started thinking about whether I imagined everything there is in life. It seemed true to me. I was imagining two states of reality. One where you "remember" that you are God, and one where you "forget". I realize that very soon the experience will end, and I felt like I need to milk the relevant insights from the experience. Then, a deep part of the experience started, around an hour an half in. At this point, I was no longer myself. I started having deep hallucinations. I was very confused on what is real and what is not. I hallucinated my pen completely breaking. And I believe I've spent above an hour trying to find a new pen, so that I could record my thoughts from this experience. Anytime I went for the search for the pen, I was instead pulled into something else that caught my attention. I also started laughing a lot and made some internal jokes about the pen. At some point I came back and concluded that God is that I imagined myself and then forgot. I started imagining how spiral dynamics and even the vocubulary I am using to write was created by me at some point. Most deeply - I profoundly realized that everything is just imaginery. This was A LOT more than I expected to reflect over in this session. And it has opened my mind to really contemplate some of the things Leo is saying not just as concepts, but as a first-hand, real experiences. The scary part for me was not necessirly the experience itself, but coming back to reality, and realizing what I have experienced. Now - it seems crazy. How do I get back to ordinary life, with people that I can't really talk about these things with, and continue living? How do I become happy, when I know it's an illusion. And if I choose to take distance from those people I love in my life - what am I going towards exactly? A deep deconstruction of all of reality and everything I know of it? I am not sure of the next steps. So I appreciate any guidance and advice.

So what would you talk about in that speech if you were the prine minister of Canada?

Inspiring, look at the contrast with Trump

What appeals to you in the BLOC? Why seek separation?

It's different than jan 6. January 6 was about Trump trying to hold on to power even after people voted for another president. This protest was about people being fed up with all the restrictions the federal government has put in place. Trudeau has put in place some of the toughest lockdown protocols in the world. Trudeau refused to negotiate and talk to the people. He invoked the emergency act instead.

Which part is not true? Immigration was higher. That's a fact, not propaganda. There are lots of sources e.g. https://grokipedia.com/page/Domestic_policy_of_the_Justin_Trudeau_government, immigration targets rose from 260k to 395k Most immigrants go to ontario, and that's where you see all the problems. If they were incentevized to go elsewhere, that would've been fine. In ontario - you could see problem. health care delays (lots of people I know in real life talk about their problems) and rising house prices: clearly backed by data Actually, some of this responsibility is on Doug Ford too, but most of blame went on Trudeau.

So many reasons. I've been on both sides of this issue personally Pandemic: Trudeau became unpopular around the pandemic, when he invoked the emergency act and freezed people's bank account who helped with the protests. People were not happy about the lockdowns and Canada's vaccine rules felt too controlling. Right-wing Media Influence: I was watching a bunch of Reels around the time Trudeau became unpopular. He has sufferred from a lot of US right-wing media around LGBTQ/Woke, similar to how Biden and Harris became unpopular. Also, there were A LOT of videos online where he is asked questions and literally doesn't answer them at all. Immigration: Trudeau has admitted too many people into Canada. More people amplified problems around healthcare, housing, and unemployment. The institutions were not ready to handle the amount of immigrants. Housing: We had skyrocketing house prices in 2021 after the pandemic. BOC slashed interest rates massively to revive the economy. In combination with immigration, housing prices went up a lot. Even though interest rates are controlled by the BOC, I believe Trudeau took the blame. Been there too long: People got tired off him personally, he has been around for 10 years.

Same problem here. It's a bit weird, because on the one hand, contemplating helps me figure out what you want. On the other hand, so much time is spent there it feels like.. I'd be way more successful just taking more action. Why can't the mind just shut up and work? 😆 Most of the ideas are great in theory, but making them a reality is challenging and takes a lot of action. Best I've found is contemplating contemplating, and limiting the time I spend. Also, getting into external pressure or getting other people to hold me accountable on things I want to do helps. At some point, gotta treat contemplation like you treat procrastination lol
