To be honest, I have no idea what he means by alien love and consciousness. I can imagine something, but I have no experience myself that I can describe it as "Alien", so I am kinda clueless. But I have belief in Leo and his integrity, so he is trying to describe his mind as best as he can. Hope I can figure it out someday! Dude, come on, invent that camera, you'll be a billionaire and then you'll have your own stage yellow social media platform and compete with musk

I think this is a good prediction of what will happen. Love you too brother!

No brother, you are wrong indeed, the majority do not support the regime, max 15% of the population support the regime, and I am being generous here! It's not even like 10 years ago, most people are going under poverty line, economy is going to toilet, no one is pro regime except those who benefit from them directly. The regime has spent tons of money to paint a good picture of itself in international community, but only the Iranians themselves understand the depth of their devilry. You are right about the military leaders, but the thing is that they are turning against each other, because economy is kinda destroyed, people are all angry especially young generation, and the authorities are all turning against each other, It won't take long for them to try to throw each other under the bus. Iran's situation is a little different from most countries. It's a country with lots and lots of enemies everywhere, so the Iranian people have to fight both with the regime and also outside influence. And there has been no status quo here for many many years now. People have been only tolerating these cruel morons. Iran is not like Syria, Egypt, or anywhere else. Our main problem is the warped view that outside world has of our situation. Yes, they are brutal, but they will have a limit, because there are lots of struggle between the authorities themselves. Military personnel are extremely against their leaders and pro people. Even among top authorities, lots of their younger generation are outcaste because they are defying their parents. A very very small circle of lower stage blue/red people are controlling the country, and now the chicken has come to roost, They have no more money, People are extremely angry. They may hold it for couple of months, even years, but there is no escape, they will be destroyed. And it's not the first time for Iranian people. Our history is full of wars, every generation. And the people always rebuild their country. I just hope it happens soon, so the less lives get destroyed. Please, brothers and sisters around the world, raise awareness of the atrocities going on in my country.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I have had many psychedelic experiences now for past 8 years. I also used a lot of weed when I was younger. I meditate, but not very regularly in recent years. I have experienced weird stuff on psychedelics, and some weird images and scenes in my mind, I even experienced ego dissolution (something like that I guess) on LSD once which was a very strong and spiritual experience, but I never experienced visual hallucinations or trips in physical reality. My highest dose has been 3 grams of mushroom, I have not used DMT yet. just LSD, Mushrooms and edible weed (edible weed is more like LSD than normal smoking weed). Psychedelics give me clarity, and sometimes crazy thoughts, but I have never experienced weird hallucinations and visual experiences. Maybe I need higher dose. Dose does make a difference.

So true! It's interesting that I just read this from Leo. For past couple of weeks, there has been nationwide unrest in Iran, and many of the people that are opposing government are using very harsh curse words, so lately there has been a dialogue about this topic. Should we use insult and curse words, or is this too extreme? Most young people use swear words, but older people are more traditional in Iran and do not use insults a lot. It is interesting conversation, in families and elsewhere. But the bastards that are killing people in the streets do not deserve respect, and curse words describe those pieces of shit perfectly! And of course using swear words have comic aspect, and comedy is necessary! I do believe curse words have their own function. As Leo said, we should no overuse them, but I am against not using them at all, it's an important part of communicating! and if someone is a fucking idiot, like someone who beat women in the streets, you must call them a fucking idiot!

Totally agree! I'm a vegetarian, but I also believe vegan community can be so stupid sometimes! Emotional and blinded. See the big picture. Try to understand. Don't always judge in 10 seconds.

I disagree with some of the points that Leo make in this series. But at the same time I learned something new. And I agree with some of the stuff he says. You just need to listen to Leo with healthy skepticism. He thinks he is always right, but he is not of course! In my opinion, he is right most of the time, at least much more than other people! But someone else can say the same about me or anyone else. My point: yes, sometimes Leo is just wrong! He has an ego still, egos can be wrong, but that does not mean he is not a good teacher.

agree!

! Leo is not bipolar. I mean can you verify this statement?! Come on! Kanye is not tier 2. If you make some statements about the philosophy of Kant, and it turns out to be true, it does not mean that you know all the aspects of Kant's philosophy. If someone has some tier 2 beliefs or opinions, it does not mean they are tier 2. Maybe he heard the idea somewhere and just liked it!! Kanye west is so far from tier 2. I think Lex Fridman is tier 2 to some degree.

Totaly agree. I suggest everyone to see that documentary. Not as a bias, but to understand the russian worldview to some degree.

I dont know where you saw this,but this is just plain wrong. Not even 100 thousand people joined that demonstration, eventhough they will recieve many gifts n food n shit like that. Its the regime's propaganda. You have to be in Iran to understand the situation. Its obvious for EVERYONE that more than 80% of the population are strongly against the government. There are many young people with stage green and above ideologies in Iran. But most are orange. Government is run by lower stage blue/red people.

@LSD-Rumi see,the problem is not just personal, if all humans believed that you should just focus on what you can change and dont try to fight the opressors, mankind would still be living in caves. Development need sacrifice. Its not just about me as a person. Its not even about patriotism. Maybe I can leave my country easily, but i have a family, friends,loved ones. Its not like you can easily move to other countries. We dont have american passport! My point is its not easy to judge the situation of someone who is directly influenced by these circumstances. Sometimes even if your odds of winning are low, you have no choice but to fight. Many people in first world countries dont get this.

@Razard86 I wish you a life full of love brother <3 Great insights.

I've been following Leo for six years, and I think he has taught me well not to follow someone blindly, so if people get lost following him, it's their own responsibility, not Leo's. Leo teaches complex stuff. We should not think about these things in a linear way (Follow this guy, don't follow this guy, this is right, that is wrong...) Leo, we love you brother.

@Vision For me, learning and practicing some breathing techniques, especially those that are more related to the parasympathetic nervous system, help me to feel better in my body. I can think of it as feeling lighter. Experiment for yourself, I hope it works for you.

I think you should try to understand eternity only if you want to have fun by giving yourself mind-fucks! I don't think that it's possible to understand eternity by thinking, our thinking mind is so limited. But there are ways that your mind can become aware of eternity. Sometimes it just happens! For me, in one of my mushroom trips (5gr), some wolf/God figure which suddenly appeared in my mind made me realize that the only way that the "present moment" and "time" (my concept of time) can exist, is because that the universe is infinite. If there was no infinity, now would have not been now. (I hope that makes sense, it's hard for me to explain)

Well said!

@PepperBlossoms I agree. I think as long as you keep an open mind, its ok to pick sides. You just have to have a constant "checking mechanism" in your mind to be able to change your mind when your direct experience and reason tell you to do so. Picking sides has always been vey hard for me. It's both a blessing and curse at the same time.

Good opinions. Also this might help and give you some good insights:

@SQAAD I think you're right. I think someday Leo will see his many errors. He should listen to all the things he has said in past five years. He has a lot to learn from himself. From watching Leo and how his ego is unfolding, I am becoming aware of the reason behind the behavior of mystics and sages throughout human history. I do not consider Leo wise anymore. His "American Leo" ego has taken control of his spiritual path. He will pass this. One day he will laugh and cry for what he has become these days. "If you name me, you negate me."

If you want to introduce him to spirituality, I don't think that introducing psychedelics would be the best idea. I mean I have lots and lots of friends who do use psychedelics alot, but none of them are necessarily into spirituality or even interested very much in spirituality. Psychedelics act as supplements in spiritual learning and development. So i suggest first introduce him to something like meditation. Explain its scientific benefits for him, try to help him to meditate for a while, try to use his intellectual curiosity. If you saw good feedbacks, then you can introduce him to psychedelics. Because I think if he is not interested in spiritual development, using psychedelics at best would be a fun experience for him. But of course I might be wrong. Either way, it seems that you are a good friend

The "Complete Man" exists only in our imagination. Everybody has flaws. Just learn, from everybody and everything, and continue your own journey. Although Wilber might be more advanced than Manson, but in some areas Manson might teach us something more valuable than Wilber. Don't lose interest in him! Just try to learn both from Manson and Wilber, and also Leo, and bugs bunny!

So I came across this video, it has very good info and insights about how the media gives people what they want, no matter what the truth is, and how they create this illusion of right vs left to gain more profit:

I think I understand your points very clearly, because my own journey has been somehow the same. I found this path about 5 years ago, started meditating, contemplating, studying, using psychedelics, introspecting, etc. But since then it has been a big rollercoaster. Just going on and off, and the thing that has affected my spiritual life the most has been my daily life (family, work, literally everything apart from you!) To be honest, it is still challenging for me, I haven't figured out how to balance my daily life with my spiritual life; but I'd like to think of it as my own journey, and the difficulties that Every person should surpass. If you haven't watched Leo's "Hero's journey" episode, watch it, you might get good insights But I also think that I should figure out how to balance my daily life with my spiritual life, not to choose one of them over the other one. So you don't necessarily have to let go of your life in normal society. Of course some stuff in daily life may affect your spiritual life in a negative way more, somethings less, you have to figure them out by yourself (it could be some people, some jobs, relationships, etc). If you can figure out how to balance these two, you are on your own way towards the truth. Wish you all the best dear.
