There are tons of people who are constantly under stress, eat garbage, etc. and they never get cancer. Even individual genetics account for a very small factor of cancers (you can google the studies). Then someone who lived well, ate nutritious foods, avoided toxins, gets diagnosed with brain tumor out of the blue. Why is that? Is it really just bad luck?

Where can we watch it?

The first one yes, the others were added by AI and I didn’t double check FYI, but they seem reliable

I used AI to summarize (hope it doesn’t bother you): 1. Goodman et al. (2015) – Workshop summary on low-dose mixtures, published in Carcinogenesis (Oxford University Press, involving NCI, NIEHS, and IARC experts) Explicitly states: "Credible estimates from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggest that the fraction of cancers attributable to toxic environmental exposures is between 7% and 19%." - Link: https://academic.oup.com/carcin/article/36/Suppl_1/S254/416815 (full text via PMC: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4566031/) This is one of the most direct citations tying WHO/IARC to this range. 2. President's Cancer Panel (2008–2009 Report: "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now") Critiques older estimates (e.g., Doll & Peto's ~2% for general pollution + 4% occupational) as "woefully out of date" and argues the true burden of environmentally induced cancer (broadly including chemicals, pollutants, occupational exposures, radiation, etc.) is grossly underestimated, implying a significantly higher fraction (while not pinning an exact number, it aligns with calls for recognizing 10–20%+ from broader environmental/occupational sources). - Full report: https://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/pcp/annualReports/pcp08-09rpt/PCP_Report_08-09_508.pdf 3. WHO's "Preventing Disease Through Healthy Environments" reports (2006 & 2016 updates) Use a very broad definition of "environment" (air/soil/water pollution, UV/radiation, occupational risks, built environment, etc.) and estimate ~23–31% of overall disease burden (not cancer-specific) is environmentally attributable. For cancer specifically, subsets like air pollution or occupational risks contribute portions that, when aggregated broadly, support higher-end estimates in reviews. - 2016 report: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241565196 4. Supporting reviews aligning with ~10–19% for broader environmental/occupational factors - Boffetta & Nyberg (2003, British Medical Bulletin): Estimates 5–15% for occupational + pollution exposures in developed countries. - Various country-specific updates (e.g., UK 2010: ~5–8% occupational + pollution; Denmark/Alberta similar) scale globally to support the range when including radiation/occupational.

They did some studies and turns out that this accounts only for a minor part of cancers. For example 10–20% of cancers worldwide are due to "environmental" factors, and this includes includes smoking cigarettes. It seems there’s a whole bunch of cancers such as brain tumor that cannot be connected to anything but bad luck. Or do you have some sources that contradict this?

For those that live in the EU, some time ago I contacted AlpenPower and they provided me with lab tests showing their Whey protein is pretty clean. It also tastes very good and it’s made from milk of healthy cows grazing on mountains Their website: https://www.alpenpower.com/

I discovered the power of my heart and experienced incredibly huge amounts of Love and Bliss. I gained the knowledge that this Love is always right here, in my center. While I still cannot fully access it at will when sober, just this knowledge makes my life better and fuller. Sometimes I just remember that I am surrounded by an ocean of Infinite Love and my heart just melts. It’s super cool

So when you experienced them, they momentarily came into our material reality? Or was it you that met them in their dimension?

I think it's just a matter of words and semantics, maybe one can have an experience of Love that is even higher than Bliss and Ecstasy. But in the end if we are talking about the same thing, words can never do it justice, they are just pointers

Is there really anything you want more than love? Why would you want millions of dollars, a beautiful girl, health, etc., but have no love? All those things have no value without love. Think about it, everything you do, deep down, is because you long for love.

Which stimulants?

In the alternative health space there seems to be a lot of hype about grounding/earthing. The idea is that you can get health benefits (anti inflammatory, anti stress, better blood flow) from being in electrical contact with the Earth’s surface (e.g. bare feet on the grass, or using a grounding mat). Have you ever tried it? Noticed any benefits?

So actually he only took the equivalent of 2.5g of shrooms

He’s taking it to study it for potential longevity benefits. Btw he’s gonna stream the whole experience starting today at 9.30am pacific haha

Yo he’s really gonna do 5g at once bro is crazy 😂

After watching the below video that Leo shared on his blog some time ago, I learned that there is a company that can organize everything for you to have a similar experience on a desert tropical island. It looks really cool but I'm not sure if it's worth it. Do you think one could grow from such an experience? Would you do it?

Did you see Matthew Walker’s recent transformation? He’s the famous sleep expert, but obviously he did something

I’m puzzled by the following two perspectives when it comes to compatibility in a romantic relationship: 1. If you’re spiritually developed, it means you have little to no ego, and hence you can be happy no matter the external circumstances. “The great way is easy for those with no preferences” as said Seng-t'san. 2. Authenticity is also important, and you are free to choose any experience that fits you best for this short time you are here on this planet. So, when suspecting incompatibility in a relationship, how do I know if it is coming from the ego (i.e., always wanting more, a prettier girl, bigger boobs, etc.), or if it is a conflict with the genuine expression of my authenticity?

Thanks for sharing your perspectives guys! One of the values I’m still a bit confused about is spirituality, which I value deeply. But does it really make sense to seek that value in your potential romantic partner? In the end, isn’t spirituality just about your direct relationship with God? Would be curious if you have some experiences to share about having a spiritual vs non-spiritual partner

Thanks Leo, you couldn’t have said it better. Now I don’t know if I should be happy because I finally understood this, or sad because the chances of finding a girl that would align with all my values is like 0.001% 🥲

When you die one day, you will merge with existence in a profound union of Infinite Love. And you will be able to stay there for eternity if you want. So what’s the rush? If you are on this planet right now, it’s probably because you want to explore all the possibilities of distortions in duality, which may include falling in love a woman. What do you really desire deep inside?

Let′s suppose that you were able, every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say, "Well, that was pretty great". But now let's, um, let's have a surprise. Let′s have a dream which isn′t under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don't know what it′s gonna be. And you would dig that and would come out of that and you would say. "Wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it?". Then you would get more and more adventurous. And you would make further and further-out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have. Of playing that you weren′t God. Because the whole nature of the godhead, according to this idea, is to play that he is not.

When spiritual teachers talk about accessing the astral plane, what exactly do they mean? Is it another 3D-like reality that you can navigate with your mind, but is separate from our material 3D reality? Looking also for any experiences of users on this forum that accessed the astral plane

Hey @Leo Gura what would you say your current sober level of consciousness is? Like if 0 is deep sleep, 10 normal waking state, 1 million is 5meo; where can you reach maximum while sober? How would you interact with other people that are at a much higher level of consciousness at your retreat?

Beauty is the present moment. If you can get fully present with no thoughts, you will feel the infinite Beauty that is always present in this moment. (although this is mostly in the background when you are in a low “normal” state of consciousness. Increasing the consciousness and the ability to stay present is key)
