  1. I'm a pretty analytically minded guy and I find the movement into Stage Yellow to be very natural stage. I've always been good at holding multiple perspectives at once and understanding systems. Do you think that it's easier for logically minded people to move out of Green and into Yellow? My girlfriend is very solid Green and has been for a while and is starting to move into Stage Yellow. However, she doesn't really like to read too many books and I can't see her becoming interested in a lot of the more heady topics that Stage Yellow ppl are typically interested in. How do you think Stage Yellow manifests itself in more feminine and emotionally minded women? I doubt that they will be reading books about The Structure of Scientific Revolutions... How can you tell that a more feminine and emotional woman has entered Stage Yellow?
  2. The best way that I can describe this book is that it's "an adventure." Definitely one of my favourite books that I've read so far, I would recommend it to anyone who has the patience to actually try and understand the analogies and metaphors that this entire book consists of. There is occasionally some difficult language but I firmly believe that anyone can understand this book if they read slowly enough and take the necessary time to think about what they have read every few pages. Overview: Kastrup details the logical flaws of materialism. Then he presents the alternative, idealism. Then he uses idealism to explain everything from paranormal phenomena to elves to UFOs to psychedelics to the ego. He literally explains everything using the metaphor of idealism EXCEPT for how reality BEGAN. I am very unsatisfied with his version of the creation story but it is only a small paragraph out of an otherwise exemplary book! Read this book if: - you like learning about the brain - you like metaphysics - you are interested in spirituality and would like to see an almost scientific and logical description of the nature of reality - you are skeptical about the credibility of modern science - you like psychedelics - you want to experience a very sound description of why mystical and non-local experiences occur This book is extremely profound and you will have deep insights at every single page if you take the time to contemplate the reading. Worth your time!
  3. Precognition, psychics, prophetic dreams, people with clairvoyance, all are proof that time is not a linear thing. Time only appears to move from past to present to future... however with closer investiatigation it seems like past, present and future are all muddled together in a kind of temporal soup ?;)

  5. Good question. What I've read about Dzogchen masters who dissolve their bodies in meditation after 7 days. Nothing is left of them but hair and fingernails. Allegedly they transcend into the "light body." Who knows man. This mahasamadhi stuff always confuses me.
  6. What if reality was NOT an illusion. How could that work? How could something such as reality actually exist in some physical 3-dimensional sense? What would ground reality? Leo's metaphysics is so precise because if you dig deep enough, it makes perfect sense. All other metaphysics are totally incomplete and deluded. Not because Leo is some special guy... he just knows what's good.
  7. Update! I also just shit out my bowels. Feels like stuff is cleaning out from years ago.
  8. I'm just about to break my 3.5 day water fast. I'm breaking it with some lemon water, waiting 30 minutes, then some celery juice. Then I'll probably have some fruit. Goal: To give my digestive system and my stomach a break. I had been eating out too much and I was feeling it affect my cravings and my mental clarity. I had been using food as a crutch to help me deal with feelings of stress and uncertainty. Day 1: Super easy. I've done 1 day fasts before. I felt normal. Day 2: I couldn't workout in the morning as I usually do, lower energy. I still had plenty of energy to get a lot of work done. Mental clarity increased. Body felt weaker. Day 3: Body felt super weak. I still managed to do some work on my laptop and read a lot. I was basically bedridden for most of the day. However I did get outside and walk for a total of 90 minutes. That may have been too much exercise but I felt okay. I started supplementing my water w a pinch of pink Himalayan salt and that helped w my low energy. I was feeling light-headed whenever I stood up. Mental clarity was amazing. I felt like I was in the middle of a Vipassana retreat. Mediation was also easier. I also found that reading books and focusing was easier. I was able to read for hours when normally I have too much energy to sit down and read. Fasting is a great combination of physical weakness and mental clarity where there's not much to do except read books and meditate. I was having very strong food cravings on day 3. I was basically thinking of food all day. So I'm deciding to break my fast because I am feeling like I got what I wanted out of the experience. I could definitely go for a bit longer, but I would basically just have to sit on the couch all day. I miss having energy to do stuff. I was thinking of doing a little fast for a while and Leo's video kind of just pushed me over the edge. So thanks for the inspiration! I learned a lot about water fasting from Dr. Alan Goldhamer. Lots of awesome info he shares about the benefits of prolonged water fasting. Anyways, that's my experience, I'm gonna go have some celery juice now! ?

  10. Some men interact with the world in a logical and calculating way. They need logical step-by-step instructions to do what girls feel should be easy and natural. In the end, all behavior is manipulation, whether you are comfortable with it or not. When a baby cries it is manipulating its mother to give it attention. When you laugh at a joke that isn't funny you are manipulating the other person to like you. Trust me. Many men are completely autistic when it comes to expressing their feelings to women and they need some logical instructions to make it natural.
  11. Kissing is a natural result of sexual escalation. Start with non-sexual forms of physical escalation like touching her on the arm, being playful and flirty. You can put your arm around her, grab her arm and put it around you. Make fun of her and pull her toward you. Tickle her. Pick her up. All the time joking around. Basically, you are getting her comfortable with touching and being close to you. You can't kiss the girl unless she is allowing you to touch her and hold her. The best way that works for me is to be in a situation where we can sit beside each other with my arm around her. And, all the while being playful and non-serious, you are basically getting closer and closer to her. The whole time you are being conscious of how comfortable she feels. If she gets stiff and pulls away, then stop and recalibrate. Basically, if you escalate properly, you'll feel a force pulling your face towards hers. It will be natural. Kiss for a few seconds and pull away, laugh and say something stupid then keep having fun as if nothing happened.
  12. " aren't we supposed to help people?" "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP OUR PEOPLE! STARTING WITH OUR STOCKHOLDERS!? Who's helping them out!?!"
  13. @Thetruthseeker I was on the summit as well and was equally disappointed. I was actually SUPER disappointed. Angry even. You're right, I would've liked if Eben put their focus onto making a good summit instead of spending 6 hours trying to sell me something that is promising to help me do what I paid the original 2k to do.
  14. I lived in Wat Chom Tong in Thailand for 6 weeks for free and I potentially could've lived there for years if I wanted to. They teach Burmese-style Vipassana (mindfulness with labeling). They have some international teachers who speak English so I guess you would have to email or call them. I got set up to go to this place through my vipassana teacher who lives here in Toronto. With my friend, I literally flew to Thailand and navigated my way to this monastery and lived there for 6 weeks. The only cost of living there is that you have to meditate A LOT.
  15. I think he mentioned that he wanted to share it in a future video. However, I would also like to be pointed towards some resources that I can research for myself in the meantime.
  16. Find yourself a girl that integrates the healthy aspects of the Divine Feminine (full spectrum expression of emotions) without being toxic, undeveloped, and unconscious. I did it! Although it took some work My girlfriend is still a crazy bitch now and again but she's actually conscious of it. Healthy girls aren't boring. A girl with a properly integrated feminine is a wild slut for God.
  17. @RoerAmit read models by Mark Manson. All your questions answered. Pickup is about honesty and transparency. But it must be in a socially calibrated way. Telling the girl that you want to fuck her within 5 seconds of meeting her will get you slapped in the face. However, you can tell her that and be honest in more socially calibrated ways (eye contact, smiling, hugging, flirting, touching, "Just wanted to say that I think that you're really pretty. Good job! *high-five*"
  18. https://www.netflix.com/title/80013552?s=a&trkid=13747225&t=cp Here is the link to watch the movie. Moon is in Pisces ♓ (so it's time for some existentially woke shit) The Tale of Princess Kaguya by Studio Ghibli is the most profound and stunning metaphor for nonduality, and the existential sadness (and joy) for living through Earthly lifetimes. I had a full on existential awakening at the end of this movie and cried violently in front of my girlfriend for 20 minutes straight. I highly recommend watching closely. The ending is one of the most mind-blowing and beautiful endings of any movie. The entire movie is a masterpiece that will endure throughout human history as one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever made. The crown jewel of Japan's Walt Disney, Hayao Miyazaki. Also, the nature imagery and unique art style is stunning. He captures the innocence and purity of nature (and also of humans).

  20. Your always-present beingness is here. Enlightenment is here. Will it come from another place? From some far-off distant land? At some future time? Depending on the circumstances? Becoming aware of what you actually are isn't random at all. You are already that.
  21. Wow what a champion. This guy approaches girls while he's talking on the phone with their mother and STILL sleeps w them. ???
