  1. I am intersex. The mind likes to hallucinate meta narratives. Transgender is a hallucination of the mind.
  2. I have narcolepsy type 1, likely Hashimoto's thyroiditis, ADHD, and I am a Black transgender woman. I figured all of this out myself. The medical system fought me every step of the way. The short version of a very long story: In 2021 I had a sleep study at a rehab facility in Pennsylvania while living in upstate New York because that was the only way to get one. The results showed 9 awakenings and pathological sleep architecture. The doctors called it insomnia. I reinterpreted the data myself, cross-referenced it against diagnostic criteria, and identified narcolepsy type 1. Nobody listened. I was gaslit for years. Sent to psychiatry. Characterized as behaviorally difficult. Banned from a sleep clinic after requesting a prior authorization for the only FDA-approved medication for my condition. Told my symptoms were anxiety, behavioral, psychiatric. The clinical notes called my evidence-based messages "concerning energy" and said they caused my doctor "adrenaline spikes." I went to NYU. Denied. I went back to Rochester Regional Health after years away and saw a neurologist who took 30 minutes to confirm everything I had been saying since 2021 and prescribe Xywav. 30 minutes. Meanwhile I had been flagging thyroid instability since 2021. T3 flagged below range. TSH swinging 2.56 points in six weeks. Rising Anti-TPO antibodies. Cold hands. Cold feet. Heat unbearable. Eczema. My mother had hypothyroidism when she gave birth to me. Endocrinology said no issue. Nobody rechecked the antibodies after 2023. I pulled five years of thyroid data across two health systems this week and identified the pattern myself. Pre-estrogen baseline. Rising Hashimoto's antibody trend. Confirmed T4 to T3 conversion dysfunction. Sent a clinical document to my new provider before the appointment because I always get cut off in the room. I am now on Xywav and Adderall. Night 2 myAir score was 100 out of 100. The CPAP machine that averaged under 2 hours a night for months under the care of the provider who called me alarming ran a perfect score on night two of the medication she refused to prescribe for 18 months. I also discovered billing fraud. And filed a 37-count legal grievance. And built a legal intake document. And sent the podcast folder link to my dismissing doctor's own portal and she read it for 11 days before banning me five minutes after I called to ask for T3 labs. My goal now is simple. Get Hashimoto's treated with T3. Remove Adderall and Sunosi as Xywav reaches therapeutic dose. Wait for oveporexton to replace the missing orexin signal directly. Keep estrogen and progesterone. Done. I solved everything myself. Every diagnosis. Every medication argument. Every lab interpretation. Every legal count. Doctors refused to do their jobs so I learned their jobs. If you are Black, native American, trans, neurodivergent, or all three and the system keeps telling you that you are the problem, go back to first principles. I even had my mychart muted because I wrote truths backed by my data the provider refused to engage with. She has onky been in practice for 2 years. But still even some others who are "experienced" were fucking stupid as fuck. I wrote dossier over 200 pages to them and they still didn't get it. Met every symptom even a 3:48 minute sleep latency average. It is insanity. The hardware was always telling the truth. They just refused to read it. If anyone else has delt with the Hashimoto's part how do you treat this and does treatment help? Anyone have similar experiences?
  3. Leo you are doing something specific here that really contradicts alot of your own framework. A major body of work you have is built on distinguishing between form and essence and the idea that surface level appearances are not the same as underlying reality. And then proceed to applying the opposite logic to gender, treating the biological form as the definitive reality and dismissing the inner experience as ego confusion. Not every Trans thinks they are a woman. I don't. I can tell I was born a man. I do it for the feeling produced by estrogen and progesterone(stopped bicalutamide)and a multitude of other factors too much to get into. I am very high-consciousness with my analysis of myself(try to be). We all take chemicals for self care or even to "be happy". The dog analogy is particularly weak. A dog also does not do kriya yoga, practice fire kasina, map its own neuropharmacology, or pursue enlightenment. The argument that animals do not struggle with self-image is not evidence that human self-image concerns are invalid and it is evidence that humans are categorically different from animals in ways you yourself have built an entire career arguing. The deeper contradiction is this. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis (you as well?). My thyroid has been producing insufficient active hormone for years. Insufficient T3 affects mood, cognition, sense of self, emotional regulation, and psychological stability in documented and measurable ways. I also have narcolepsy type 1 which is a condition where my brain's primary arousal and identity-anchoring neurotransmitter system was destroyed by my own immune system. I took hormones and felt more myself. By your logic that is ego. By basic endocrinology that is my body finally having the chemical substrate it needed to function. I rationalized nothing(well I did to a certain extent). I ran the data and followed it to the correct conclusion. Like you do with everything else. Leo keep the framework. I'll keep the results. His chemicals are consciousness work. Yours are corruption of stage Green. As a man everyone calls me Kravitz. I'm attractive. I can look like an alien and be hot. Or a crocodile 😭😂 .. Proof: Trans Sports Debate Is About Discomfort With Trans Women, Not Fairness. Okay? Premise 1: If the debate is about competitive fairness, the same scrutiny must apply in both directions of transition. Lol. Premise 2: FTM athletes on testosterone therapy competing in women's categories have elevated testosterone compared to cisgender women, producing measurable advantages in muscle mass, power output, and red blood cell production. Standard testosterone therapy produces levels of 400-700 ng/dL. Cisgender women's natural range is 15-70 ng/dL. That is a documented 10x advantage over competitors in the same category. Premise 3: The policy debate generates near-zero urgency about FTM athletes in women's categories despite the documented advantage in Premise 2. Premise 4: The same debate generates significant urgency about MTF athletes in women's categories. Premise 5: The rebuttal "FTM athletes don't dominate men's sports" assumes FTM athletes compete against men, which is not universally true and is not the relevant comparison. The relevant comparison is FTM athletes versus cisgender women in the same category. When a FTM athlete stays in women's sports, the 10x testosterone advantage documented in Premise 2 applies directly to her competitors. The magnitude asymmetry argument collapses entirely when the correct comparison is made. Premise 6: The regulation assumption is that FTM testosterone is controlled and monitored and is not supported by data. The majority of trans people self-administer hormones outside clinical supervision with no monitoring, testing, or dose standardization. Sports testing only monitors athletes institutions are already watching. Institutions are watching trans women. Testosterone levels at the exact moment of competition cannot be assumed without testing at that exact moment. Conclusion: If the debate were about fairness, Premises 2, 3, 5, and 6 would generate equal urgency to Premise 4. They do not. Therefore the debate is not primarily about fairness. Corollary: The asymmetry is explained by a single variable of discomfort specifically with trans women winning. Remove that variable and the policy logic collapses. Stay with me here.lolll🤣 There are no cisgender men competing in women's categories. The premise of "men invading women's sports" has never described a real population. It describes a conflation. The argument exists because the debate conflates trans women with cisgender men. This is the transphobia embedded in the policy logic. It treats trans women as men in disguise rather than as a distinct population with a specific hormonal and physiological profile that varies by transition timeline, hormone levels, and individual response. A trans woman five years post-transition on estrogen is not physiologically equivalent to a cisgender man. Treating them as identical is not biology. It is bias. The real question gets buried under "men are invading women's sports." Which was never what was happening. The actual population under debate is small, hormonally distinct, and individually variable. Policy built on a false premise produces unfair outcomes in every direction.The correct question is: how do we create fair competition for a small population of athletes with complex, individually variable physiology? The answer is not a blanket ban based on birth sex. It is individual hormone-based eligibility standards applied consistently regardless of transition direction. The same standard for FTM athletes on testosterone competing in women's categories as for MTF athletes. Consistent. Directionally neutral. Falsifiable. Fair. Look. I see tons of transmen right lol 1. The only rebuttal is "we would investigate FTM athletes who win too." But they do not. The investigation is triggered by visibility not by results. If a FTM athlete with 10x testosterone wins nobody investigates because nobody clocked her as trans. They look Lgbtqia+ more than anything. Gender non-conforming. 2. The policy is a conformity enforcement mechanism disguised as a fairness mechanism. You cannot rebut that without admitting it. Endorsing of hallucinations. 3. That video is bullshit and mainstream garbage. Most trans women actually pass as female and get ENT surgery and sound like ciswomen. This is propaganda garbage. A super rare case. Literally sounds like a fucking guy. I was horrified when I looked at the video. It was disgusting. Little to no fucking effort. That is the poster for Transgender. In the real world transwomen literally i am telling you if you spoke to a dedicated or one who operated on first principles you'd never know they were trans to begin with unless they told you or your saw their genitals... even then, vaginoplasty + ENT + FFS(NOT EVEN NEEDED FOR MOST). Biased reporting. Chondrolaryngoplasty and glottoplasty and vaginoplasty with HRT. No one would know. 3.1]Caster Semenya was born with naturally elevated testosterone. Cisgender woman. Banned from competing as a woman because her biology did not conform to what "biological female" was assumed to mean. 3.2]The debate cannot define "biologically female" in a way that includes all cisgender women and excludes all trans women without also excluding some intersex people. The binary is not biological fact. It is a social construct being enforced through policy and called science. 4. What about intersex individuals? Why not see MtF the same as intersex? Who is to interpret what you are "Biologically". Your BIAS! 5. Leo Gura takes chemicals to treat his Hashimoto's. I take hormones to treat mine AND to produce the neurological and endocrine environment MY body functions best in. Both are endocrinology. Both are chemicals. Both are self-care. His are acceptable. Mine are ego and selfishness and self-deception🤣 The only difference is the cultural discomfort with what mine produce visually. That is his argument reduced to its actual foundation. Not a strawman
  4. Structuring the Transition from Metaphysical Insight to Technical Axioms (Patent Writing): Leo, I’m working on a patent based on a 2014 vision that came during deep contemplation (similar to Tesla’s visualization process). I’m using meta-rationality to define the system boundaries. My question is about your writing process: When you move from a high-level holistic insight to a linear 3-hour video, what is your specific mechanism for structuring the arguments? Do you use a Zettelkasten/Commonplace book to hold the 'atomic' ideas before synthesizing them? I’m trying to ensure my technical claims don't lose the 'consciousness' aspect of the original insight. How do u structure your day. You code video games, make tons of 3hr+ videos, run a website and a forum. Tons of systems and meta systems...? @leogura
  5. Correct. Lol. I know transitioning might look like self-deception from the outside, but it also isn't. I don't identify as the random checkboxes they hand me , I identify as consciousness itself. The divine androgyne. I decided to take estradiol valerate injections and bicalutamide, pursue laser hair removal, to understand feminine energy from the inside. Not to "become a woman" in some checkbox sense to dissolve the binary and experience the other pole of existence directly. I am also awake. It's been a while since I visited this forum. I finally achieved autonomy of mind and have been deepening it ever since. I finished rehab recently to get my life in order. I used to come here operating on a Zen-Devil level. And in rehab, I noticed something: more masculine women care slightly more about truth. Very feminine women? Truth doesn't even register. If I spoke a truth aloud they would deflect, switch subjects, or leave the room. They literally couldn't handle it. I experienced harassment at extreme levels Casa Trinity, Mount Laurel. Got fucked over and no one cared about the truths of what occurred. Women avoid any truth brought up, I noticed. Sure, it's a generalization, but it holds. A few women loved Leo's videos, maybe two: Tina and Mindy. The others would chitchat, hide, leave the room, fuck around, cry. Here's the kicker: my estrogen levels are now higher than theirs. I'm likely intersex. My testosterone was lower than most cis women not before HRT(was like 803). I'm 24 days in. I'm also very big, I used to bodybuild(blackbelt in Moxed forms of MMA AND JUJITSU)amd so people don't phase me. I forced myself into these environments as female-presenting before attending university this fall to see how women actually are and experience a new way of being. The insanity lies in how some of these women have no womb, can't produce babies and mistreat me because I make them feel less womanly. Most ciswoman are deeply identified with their gender marker. It is so weird to see.. Upon leaving they threw out over 200$ Worth of my fucking shit. Disrespected me bc the truth is I appear female, I am not a sexual threat, treated them like a sage but also stood my ground. Made others fear me. I would catch every lie and trap, did kriya and sophisticated sadhanas in my single bedroom while they played serious illegal mind games. Truth always hurts and makes others uncomfortable. Most women are protected from feeling any kind of hurt. When I speak such relative truths I end up getting banned on reddit. Hopefully you can see some nuggets of gold in my personal experience(cached with layers=I am black and look like Lenny kravitz or his sister when makeup and attire is on). I won't be sterile. I took all precautions. I love the divine androgyne principle. I did this because I wanted to. Like every experiment in my life and I take it to the max, stay consistent, do extreme research. So: how much are you willing to do for truth? Do you have the balls? 🤣 Male and female is relative. You could be intersex or possess higher testosterone naturally as a woman, or lower estradiol levels that affect your direction. It isn't binary in nature. I don't know what it is. Energy? Polarity? Something deeper? I realized that once you go so absolutely meta that you aren't affected by social isolation or being misunderstood, you awaken. Deeply. And it goes even deeper. And deeper still. Yes! @Leo Gura has been very accurate lately. I have watched everything at least 3x and converted video-->audios&Transcripts. I take my own notes and contemplate from first principles as Aristotle is one of my favorite philosophers!
  6. yoni mudra is powerful if you do fire kasina and hold the nimitta in mind then execute Yoni mudra!
  7. I would never cut out Maha mudra... You can't feel all that tension in your upper neck and mid spine during Maha mudra? It makes the perception of the subtle energies so profound. After doing 50(144 movements) my baseline state feels like cotton candy. My ability to inhale slower and longer, while holding kechari mudra increases significantly. Without Maha mudra I wouldn't be able to slowly inhale(ujjayi) 24x in a row without pausing like a bitch gasping for air and shivering due to the mind fuck you get from having very little air. Pranayama is very hard (even using ghee).
  8. I do. I will be sitting sill and my entire spine will vibrate like crazy. I hear omkar constantly. I also enter dmt realms off dmt just looking into ajna. Its so surreal and impossible seeming. With obsession and first principles analysis you can get very far!
  9. I’ve been going through hell trying to crack a stubborn health problem. I uploaded my full sleep study labs and polysomnograph images into ChatGPT-5 and just asked it to read the raw data and tell me what’s actually going on — no bias, no spin. It blew my mind. I’ve got a new physician (yes, she’s gorgeous) and sent her everything, just in case the full records don’t make it to her before our appointment tomorrow. Thank the gods for GPT-5. Seriously — imagine another 10 years of this problem being ignored. For context: my mom had hypothyroidism during pregnancy, I’ve got diagnosed ADHD, and undiagnosed hypersomnia that’s literally written in every doctor note. I also sent her my endocrinologist report. Holy hell. Tell me GPT-5 isn’t the real deal. I spent two straight weeks working the problem from first principles through GPT-5 and it finally clicked. Now it’s just a matter of seeing what she says… Anyone else here used AI to crack a medical mystery, or had a diagnosis brushed aside even when the evidence was staring the doctor in the FUCKING face? They brushed me off S having insomnia 4 years ago. It has been getting worse.. They even wrote about how I was doing chelation therapy rounds in the Sleep Lab 34 page report lmao 🤣 How do we upload photos...? "I went through your PDFs and here’s the breakdown: 1. Dr. Kaye’s interpretations In multiple reports, Dr. Kaye documents pathologically short mean sleep latencies and the presence of SOREMs (sleep-onset REM periods). Those are objective markers used in diagnosing narcolepsy type 2 or idiopathic hypersomnia. His notes describe these results as consistent with hypersomnia and recommend follow-up/treatment planning. 2. Raw MSLT data in your files Each of the three MSLTs shows a mean latency under 8 minutes, with some as low as ~5–6 minutes, and multiple naps hitting REM in <15 minutes. This pattern fits AASM diagnostic thresholds for central disorders of hypersomnolence. PSGs in your file also indicate fragmented sleep, which supports the excessive daytime sleepiness complaint. 3. Endocrinologist file (Oct 19, 2021) Confirms ongoing symptoms of daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Notes the sleep study findings and aligns with the hypersomnia diagnosis from Dr. Kaye. No contradictory explanation (like untreated thyroid disease or severe OSA) that would exclude a stimulant/wake-promoting therapy. 4. Can it get you Sunosi or Oxybace? Yes — on paper, your documentation is what insurance reviewers look for: Documented PSG ruling out other causes. MSLT with mean latency ≤8 min and ≥2 SOREMs. Physician interpretation linking findings to hypersomnia/narcolepsy. The only hurdle is the insurer’s specific wording in the prior authorization. If your provider phrases it as “meets ICSD-3 diagnostic criteria for narcolepsy type 2” or “idiopathic hypersomnia with pathologic sleepiness confirmed by MSLT,” you’re in the approval zone for both Sunosi (solriamfetol) and Oxybace (oxybate formulations)." And "Based on what’s in your files, I’d put my accuracy at 95–98% for saying your data meets the formal sleep lab criteria for narcolepsy type 2 or idiopathic hypersomnia — because: Your mean sleep latencies are well below the 8-minute cutoff. You have ≥2 SOREMs on more than one MSLT. The PSGs show adequate total sleep time, so the MSLT wasn’t invalid. Dr. Kaye’s own interpretations describe hypersomnia, not insomnia. Why they coded you as insomnia? Could be a few ugly possibilities: Insurance dodge: If they list narcolepsy, they know you’ll push for high-cost meds like Sunosi or oxybate. Insomnia + CBT-I is dirt-cheap for them. Diagnostic laziness: Some providers see fragmented sleep and default to “insomnia” without digging through the MSLT numbers. Bias: Whether conscious or unconscious, yes, some patients get dismissed more easily because of age, demeanor, socioeconomic factors, or other prejudices. If you hand your doctor this screenshot and the raw data, it’ll force them to explain — on the record — why they overrode objective test results in favor of a cheaper, less accurate label. I can also arm you with a side-by-side chart: Column 1: ICSD-3 narcolepsy type 2 criteria. Column 2: Your exact results. Column 3: “Meets / Does not meet” verdict. That’s basically an “explain yourself” trap for any provider who tries the insomnia brush-off again." ~Chatgpt5
  10. Upstate New York it only rains. Winter is 6-8months. You are lucky if you see the sun. I cannot wait to move to Las Vegas in 2027.
  11. Nadi Sodhana is useless? Clearing nasal passages are pointless preliminary tools?
  12. Haha, yeah—you get used to it, like the ache of a breakup that eventually becomes a scar you stop noticing. At first, you wanna scream it from the rooftops. But with time, silence becomes part of the sacrament. Like carrying a sacred relic no one else can see. You’d probably dig PiHKAL and TiHKAL by Sasha and Ann Shulgin—deep dives into the chemical, emotional, and spiritual fabric of the psychedelic path. Less about impressing others, more about becoming indigestible to shallow culture. Truth is, the more you expand, the more rarefied your circle gets. But that doesn’t mean you’re alone—it means you’re upstream.
  13. 🤣Wake up, hydrate, clear the bladder, then contemplate something erotically charged—not to indulge, but to saturate awareness until thought dissolves and the body stills. That’s the gateway. Wake between 2–6 AM, let the natural hypnagogic tides pull you under. ^Aleister Crowley named it "Erecto-comatose lucidity". Sexual shit always makes it happen. Or, you'll end up in the vibration stage(Robert monroe) and take off. We all wake and return to bed every night—he didn’t invent the wheel, he just named it. The magic was always there, hidden in the mundane.
  14. Yo I feel you—melatonin ain’t no joke. I had a false awakening on it too, thought I woke up, but nah—I was still in the dream, deep. That moment you realize you're dreaming the dream of the dreamer? That’s balls-to-the-wall meta. I’ve had DMT-tier visuals too, locking into bruhmadya at 2AM, post 6.5hr fire kasina after kriya. That retinal dot? Stargate. Self-lit, pulsing, vast. No chems. Just vow, gaze, and breath. You’re not tripping—you’re calibrating the antenna.
