Yes! I’m so glad you read it ❤️

I really wouldn’t do this. Now... like I said, this isn’t a post about nonduality. However, I really wouldn’t follow up on that urge to do 5-MeO-DMT as your first trip. I think what a lot of us aren’t taking from Leo is how profound a substance like this can be. I personally am not in a stable place in my life or a place if independence even (I still live at home) so just that combination right there can cause so much of a catastrophic trip if I took 5-MeO that it wouldn’t be worth it. I think 5-MeO is a substance you have to be at a certain level of development to do where you’re both willing to “give it all up” but at a place where that drive is tampered or tarnished with any kind of drive like escapism or serious depression, etc. So really check yourself on that. Idk you so I can’t say. That said, I do know where you’re coming from with wanting to dive all the way in and all that stuff. I personally would rather do something like LSD and maybe even just microdose to help me be more in touch with my intuition, creativity, etc. to help me with constructing my life purpose and getting me to work on my business to get me out of the living situation I’m in and also help me intuit what I want to do with my life from here as I’m at a real crossroads right now. Hope this helps

I don’t follow

Translation: I only agree and listen to people who fit my worldview and who I think “really gets it.” Your projections of who you think Leo is, how happy he is, how fulfilled he is is just that, a projection. If you really listened to him you would hear him saying ‘study everything, question everything (including me).’ You really know nothing though about Leo’s well-being and life not JP. I get it, you don’t agree. No need to comment further.

@Spiral you think a person has to have a “happy vibe” for you to learn something from them?... Read the books you buy dude (I don’t own it). Study diverse perspectives even if you don’t agree with them. Be open minded. Stop judging by what you see over a screen. You don’t know how/if he’s happy. You don’t even know if/how happy Leo is. Stop judging.

Rhinos have horns and armor like skin Cheetahs have sprinting speed and large teeth Rams have battle horns Humans have an incredibly powerful illusion of self A human self is the mechanism by which you survive and grapple with the world since birth. Look at how parents teach and parent their kids. A child at 1 or 2 doesn’t have that much of an elaborate sense of self but if you observe how a parent parents their child you can see that they (the child’s biggest and most common influence) in a sense are creating that child’s identity. It’s really remarkable when you observe it firsthand in a nondjudmental way (observe unbiased and with open curiosity and wonder)... and it’s even crazier when you realize and see how it was done on you and is still being done on you.

How they do this without needing any supplies is extraordinary. Not to mention the fact that it doesn’t even throw them off from attaining the ultimate... assuming there is such a thing (though i thankfully don’t hold that)

Hey @Leo Gura and anyone else whose done solo retreats, what do you guys think I would need to bring and have if I did a Solo Meditation retreat outdoors? I feel like the main factor I would want control of is the food and water but if I did bring pre-prepared food I wouldn't want to risk the whole having a bear come or have to resort to buying this shitty powdered food or whatever the fuck that is that's sold in plastic bags or something like that (I live in San Francisco/Marin County by the way). I want to go outdoors because: It's cheaper I can afford the stuff especially since I have a part-time job at REI where I can get tents and supplies for 30-75% off I meditate, contemplate, and self-inquire WAAAAAAAY better outdoors it's like a steroid for me. It really isn't even funny haha

Hahaha I actually wondered that myself but I haven't found her on social media so I guess she kept her word. Btw @Leo Gura random question, was this shot in Flagstaff or around there?

There are no cookie cutter solutions. One of the biggest takeaways I've gotten from the wage slavery video and even the life purpose course (since I have no idea what could possibly be my medium or even want to be my medium) is how fucking critical creativity is and how uncreative I am and how quickly I give up before I even start because I have no inventiveness right now.

I’m crying with laughter holy fuck ?

The person whose ignorant doesn’t get to pick and choose truth. The fact is that you don’t know. Contemplate and stop picking and choosing answers.

Contemplate.

@PsiloPutty no man that’s awesome advice actually! Totally get what you’re saying!

@Serotoninluv @PsiloPutty @SgtPepper Yeah my whole intent right now for using pyschedelics in this sort of way is to “access” greater intuition and just a better sense of where I can take my life purpose and through which medium. I feel so damn stuck with my vision for my life, my life purpose, career, my intent, and I’m just drowning in the same old routine that these ideas I have just don’t seem that palpable. This regular routine is really sapping any sort of possibility to vision bigger and connect with I really want. Cause my vision is just so faint, murky, and still very unclear and I have no idea how I want to express my life purpose and in what medium. I feel like psychedelics like LSD and mushrooms can really help with this. However, I do think a more powerful wake up call is something I definitely need to because right now I’m really sensing that I’m at an end of a certain chapter in my life and I have no vision of where I want or need it to go and I think a strong trip can really help with that too. Disclaimer: I have yet to actually do any psychedelic.

I feel like this is pretty much Orange for the most part.

Our education system does a terrible teaching healthy anything for that matter. Mental health, “intellectual health”, spiritual health, physical health. To the degree that it doesn’t is honestly pathetic.

@Your place at Heart think about it. It actually makes total and complete sense why people in our culture don’t for 2 basic reasons: They believe death is real It threatens their survival It threatens their survival actual in multiple ways actually. People don’t want to focus on something that which threatens their existence If people realized/became conscious of how fast their life is passing, they would be demoralized, demotivated, and have an existential crisis. Why do they see this as bad and to be avoided? To preserve themselves as the fundamental lie that they are. Not saying they consciously go about this process thinking/being aware of this. It’s just unconscious to them. Anything that threatens the self-image and the actions it indentifies with in any sort of way is threat to their survival. In a very legitimate way, you could say debating a preserving ones beliefs in a heated argument is no different to trying survive when a bear is about to bitch slap you with it’s claws and kill you.
