It is not something that can be explained with words. You need to have an experience of ego death (most notably through psychedelics) to grasp it and reframe completely your current paradigm of how reality works. Then you will get it

Rick and morty style, where infinite possibilities exist (including infinite versions of ourselves with whom we might interact). If we consider all the implications of Infinity, there should be this possibility right?

I’ve actually found “spiritual” people to be insufferable and annoying. Basically what Leo said in his latest video about fake spirituality. I prefer having stage orange friends over fake spiritual people. At least it’s more fun for burning my karma when I’m still young And then I can do real spirituality alone in my room anyway.

Let me put it in a different way: once you fully realize Truth, what is there left to do? Isn’t devotion the most intelligent thing to do? If you realize Oneness, then loving and serving everybody would be the next logical step, right?

I have watched the video and really liked it, especially the last part about the beauty of Truth and the “reasons” for doing all this work. However, to reach this point, Leo presents a very “masculine” path - sitting in solitary confinement and doing hardcore meditation. But what about the feminine path - the one of devotion, service to others, love, etc. - can this also be a valid path? As Neem Karoli Baba said, when someone asked him how to get enlightened: “Feed the Poor and Remember God”. As God comes to the hungry in the form of food

Hey Leo, could you please upload this episode to spotify? Thanks

Also I was wondering why Leo’s metaphysics playlist is missing the video “What is Beauty”

I think it depends on your current health status and genetics. Some healthy people may do fine on a vegan diet if coupled with appropriate supplementation. But most people nowadays have some sort of chronic health issue, simply due to living in the modern world (pollution, heavy metals, microplastics, electromagnetic radiation, etc.). In this case, consuming animal products like eggs, grass-fed beef, liver, milk, cheese, etc. will provide lots of essential nutrients that are necessary for optimal health (vegan foods don’t come nowhere near in terms of quality/quantity/bioavailability of nutrients). In the end, for seeking truth, you want your health to be optimal so your mind can be sharp and focused on truth. If this implies eating animal products, so be it.

Why? What do you think you will get out of having kids?

For those of you who are parents (or want to become parents), what did you take into account when making this decision? Are kids a distraction from spiritual work? But also, aren’t kids like an “investment” for when you become older (they can take care of you, be a companion, especially if you manage to build a good relationship with them)?

Actually I’d say genetics plays even a bigger role - as with almost everything when it comes to physical health and performance

Using your analogy for the scale of consciousness, from 2-3 (normal humans) to infinity, where would you consider your current level to be?

Btw I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum section, can a mod please move it to “Psychedelics”?

“At the cellular level, psilocybin has now been shown to engage anti-aging pathways: it boosts SIRT1, preserves telomeres, reduces oxidative stress, and delays cellular senescence . These are precisely the kind of effects one would want from a longevity-promoting drug. In aged mice, psilocybin improved survival and signs of vitality (like coat health) , suggesting a systemic rejuvenating influence – possibly by reducing chronic inflammation and enhancing stress resilience in tissues. Psychedelics also potently promote neuroplasticity, which could help maintain cognitive function into older age. Imagine if periodic psychedelic therapy in midlife helped prevent or slow neurodegenerative changes by sprouting new neural connections and reducing neuroinflammation; this is speculative but not implausible given current knowledge.” Even Bryan Johnson is considering taking mushrooms now https://x.com/bryan_johnson/status/1943824432419811437?s=46

But what about transmuting this energy for other purposes, like spirituality or business?
