Awesome! Good luck dude I'm gonna do lsd soon I just need to a find a suitable place to do it...since I dont live alone i may consider renting an airbnb for a day@kieranperez

Did you expect to hit the gym without being sore the next day?

Great video with fantastic animations! But notice how it explains conciousness in terms of the behaviours of organisms...which doesn't really answer the origin of conciousness or the mind/body problem.

While I was travelling Thailand I often had no choice but to do meditation in public areas... I practice a type of vipassana that includes walking meditation and it looks very odd and many people would stare at me but honestly who cares lol...I just observe myself feeling afraid of being judged and then the feeling passes like everything else.

Continue to meditate and you will clearly see that they are bringing you down. Over the last couple years I have been gradually replacing my stage orange friends with more stage green and even yellow people that I meet and know.

Finding stage yellow is a little difficult but I think that finding stage green is a lot easier and you have higher chances of running into yellow beings that are mixed in with the greens. Meetup.com can show you - seminars - drum circles - psychedelic meetups - meditation retreats And such

I feel like there is already enough content on this channel so that if Leo never uploaded ever again...I would have all the necessary tools for self actualization...

@NoSelfSelf hes got videos and book list recommendations...and you have a source of infinite info on your fingertips

@Paul92 you are missing your full potential! If your fulfillment level are a 5/10 as a non-self actualizing person, your happiness levels as a self-actualized person is 1000/10.

I'm ENTP-A... I would consider myself very logical and stuck in my head but I love discussing ideas with people and bouncing my ideas off of other people... I'm a classic debater and I often start arguments for fun.

thanks for keeping us posted! appreciate it! Feel better dude

Hey guys I was sniffing through the bible in search of some holy wisdom and I came across some great quotes about ego death so I thought I'd share. Luke 17:20 The Coming of the Kingdom of God 20 Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, 21 nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst. Luke 17:30 It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.” [36] [e] 37 “Where, Lord?” they asked. He replied, “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.” Add to ur commonplace book

I couldn't agree more and I enjoy reading the Upanishads and the Gita as their explanations of God (Self, Brahman) are more straight-forward and to the point. But I also love to see how beautifully twisted the Bible can be in the hands of the ego-mind. Now that I can see the biblical teachings through the lens of nonduality, they are much more powerful and clear. Here is another beautiful quote from Job 33:6@Big Guru Balls "I am the same as you in God's sight."

Read a book for a while...not something too technical but something that will relax you before bed like a biography or a spiritual text such as the bible or the bhagavad gita

they're the same

Hey man, I've never plugged a substance before but I've washed my asshole w/ water jets many times and I'll tell you that there's nothing to be worried about...in fact it feels really nice. Also, pretty sure 5-meo dmt is illegal in many countries and there are no cultures that I am aware of that have openly accepted the use of powerful psychedelics like 5meo for spiritual growth. I have never tried 5meo but I just wanted to point out that your excuses for NOT doing it are not justified...just trying to help.

Yes. Almost all people identify with their beliefs about the world. This literally means that if someone believes that God exists, and you disagree with them, they will get defensive as if their life is being threatened. This is because this belief has been merged with their self identity. Therefore, by attacking/disagreeing with someone else's point of view, you are literally attacking their very identity which results in defensiveness and can lead to lashing out in anger/fear. This is why it is so difficult for a self-actualising teen to share some of these ideas with their parents for example. Many of these counter-intuitive principles that Leo and other teachers teach are in direct conflict with the traditional beliefs of your parents. See: The Mechanics of Belief, and How Ideology Works for a more in depth discussion about this.

@Annoynymous An example of ego backlash would be going on a long meditation retreat with lots of deep insight and then coming back home only to binge on watching netflix and porn. It's almost as if you are trying to sabotage your own growth. The body and the idea of self (ego) is a complex system. Systems dont like to be changed because they want to maintain equilibrium. This is called homeostasis. This is why you resist change...even if it is positive change. Check out Leo's video "how to stop backsliding" and also read the book "Mastery" by George Leonard. Personal development must be done in slow and strategic steps...integrating one habit at a time, otherwise, if you are trying to make too great of a change to the structure of your life all at once - the system that is you are will resist it with self-sabotaging actions. Furthermore, enlightenment work will stir up the most "ego backlash" because the result of successful enlightenment work is the complete annihilation of the self. This is the exact opposite of what "you" want. Therefore, you will do anything and everything in your power to resist your imminent destruction. The purpose of ego backlash is to orient your attention outwards. This is so that you do not discover the Truth...that you are a fiction.

Convince yourself otherwise. Its not like Leo invented this idea. This idea has been around for thousands of years and is the core of almost all spiritual teachings.

@non_nothing Did you watch the ox-herding lectures that Leo posted? Also, how am I supposed to realize Truth if I do not thirst for it in the beginning?

Reading through the comments section of this video was a good exercise for me to try and understand the Christian Fundamentalists stage Blue mindset. At first it was very difficult for me to accept the demonization and misunderstanding of the New Age but I think it's a good exercise for moving into stage Yellow.

This has been my experience at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand. There are many teachers/monks whom I would consider Turquiose in the spiritual and moral line but blue in other lines.

Hooray! Cant wait to meet you in person so I can harvest your brain and eat it with fava beans

@Ampresus I reccomend reading New Age books...learn about astrology...aliens...witchcraft...occult...paranormal phenomena...astral projection...all of it is awesome! Very interesting to read and is very good for opening up your kind to new ideas. CAUTION: Many of these topics can be very deep rabbit holes that many people get lost in. Dont blindly believe everything you read but also dont dismiss "silly" sounding ideas. Be openminded. Read whatever peaks your interest friend! Ps...chicks dig guys who meditate and make good eye contact...;)
