OMG

@Leo Gura Nisagardatta had a guru who taught him this in the traditional disciple guru relationship . You're taking this technique watering it down and adding your own spin on it and expect people just to trust you? That's a poor analogy but it would be wise one gets a trainer if you're a newbie to get certain/quick results and avoid injury due to misuse of equipments. Some of us don't want to be eccentric for its own sake and will use what works/worked and not keep on reinventing the wheel and that's a big if if you ever get there with unproven method.

@Leo GuraI have done a couple of Vipassana 10 days silent retreats and I am doing another 10 days in a couple of days and had deep insights such as No-Self, then a couple of psychedelic trips that were very deep such as God-Realization and Oneness due to my mind being very ripped as result of those practices previously. After hearing some of the drawbacks of psychedelics, I have been reluctant to use them more and tend more towards authentic traditional paths such as Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism to increase my baseline levels of consciousnesses and may try some psychedelics in the future. It's all good that you recommend Nisagardatta inquirty technique and others but be mindful that he was taught this by his guru who was a lineage holder passed down from a tradition of thousands of years old. Unless people find a qualified guru no amount of sitting one your own will do it for you.

@Leo GuraYou're very lost and keep on changing your opinions based on your feelings it seems. One moment you make bombastic claims that psychedelics are the way to go and poo poo on all other techniques but then you tout hardcore long week meditation retreats and now its self inquiry. Which is it? I'm shocked no one calls this out as the goal post is constantly moving

@Leo Gura I don't expect everyone to take the LP course to succeed and the definition of success various for each of us but still overall its really dishonest and sly of self help teacher to position themselves as in higher moral ground often shitting on mainstream institution as marketing ploy when those mainstream institution on average yields higher and better results across many spectrum in comparison to what they offer. This very is similar to your criticism of alt media being more corrupt and dishonest vs traditional lacking in standards etc. This doesn't have anything to do with moral progress but there's mentions of corruption related to your work which I admire to some extent and had left me and others handicapped from moving an inch forward towards success because we don't want to engage in corruption while being on this path. I don't expect you or anyone to be completely free of corruption but also doing this kind of work one expects one to at least walk their talk at least else your just like Jordan Peterson admitting to his bullshit while not taking any actions to correct and resolve them to further justify his corruptions and virtue signal that he's admitting it which is just step 1.

You are so right about this. I for one had a career based on my natural interests and left that after watching Leo's Life Purpose promo that was very persuasive, got in my head and I started doubting my career and making so many promises to give me better results than I already had ended up being an absolute disaster for me. Leo now sitting in his high horse after making millions using the same grifting techniques that he criticizes other self help teachers now days. These self help teachers are way more corrupt and often their methods and teachings are broken from the get go and won't give you the results they promise, they then gaslight and put all the blame on you when you fail to get results not their method is usually some MLM scheme or flawed in other ways. At least the universities hard provide stats how post graduation most people end up making more than other but these grifter self help teachers cannot give you the same stats but will shit non stop on mainstream institution as marketing ploy to sell their own flawed broken products.
