  1. @Consilience Thanks. It's weird that Leo has never mentioned these interviews before.
  2. Have you ever actually done psychedelics? You're the kind of person I can see psychedelics actually helping.
  3. If you'e not feeling it, don't do it. I want you to experience these people without the burden of any request from anyone.
  4. Ask him what he thinks of 5-MeO-DMT and come tell us.
  5. Teal Swan's mannerisms and speaking style kinda reminds me of Ann Coulter for some reason. Ann Coulter is way more charismatic though.
  6. I thought you were saying Leo is meeting Rupert Spira in NYC.
  7. One man's meat is another man's poison. No pun intended lolz.
  8. I bought the complete set of these books and read them all: (It's a set of 4 volumes) https://www.amazon.com/Upanishads-1-Swami-Nikhilananda/dp/0911206159/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=upanishads&qid=1553989637&s=gateway&sr=8-7
  9. I read the Upanishads -- but most of it was fluff and it was more like finding a few diamonds in a huge pile of fluff on the rare occasion. I definitely did not "enjoy" reading the Upanishads, but I did it just to know what's in there. Most of it I could do without frankly. I found reading the Tao Te Ching infinitely more rewarding than reading the Upanishads, but that's just me. I do suggest that everyone read the Upanishads though, you should know what's in there. It is fascinating how these ancient writings talk about stuff that we still talk about today. It was a worthwhile experience for me, but I had higher expectations.
  10. I still don't know what these No Fap people are doing lol.
  11. Wow, that's kinda black and white thinking man. Just saying.
  12. He'll get one of you haha. Make an example out of you!
  13. Love is the prize in Enlightenment work. It's hard to believe it until it happens to your life. All of a sudden love is effortlessly the center of your life. It's like the Mind gets traded in for the Heart. In Chinese Philosophy they have a neat concept -- the Heart-Mind. The Mind becomes the Heart-Mind with Enlightenment. All of a sudden love is everywhere and the most important thing. It's like the air you breathe. And because you're tapping into that love, others now love you back because they're drawn to love too. It can be a really odd thing to have new people suddenly attracted to you who want to spend time with you.
  14. Pseudo-gurus? Wow, that's a word. I think we all have different people that we think fit that label. Probably your guru is my pseudo-guru and vice versa.
  15. That's a great answer. I love dogs. Man's best friend.
  16. I'm thinking maybe like accessorizing with exotic jewelry -- like chunky jewelry. Big, bold, exotic earrings lol. I had a girlfriend once who would wear these feather earrings that would hang down. Those were pretty exotic. They looked good on her though, and she was exotic too, so it was a nice fit. Maybe like wearing a big, chunky necklace made out of turquoise or something -- something making sort of a statement. A big, puffed-out beard on a man is making a statement. There's a rebellious vibe to it. Maybe big hair on an older woman. I've seen some older women who have very kind of exotic big hair that is intimidating -- a hair-do which kind of makes a distinguished, rebellious statement. I saw a woman like this a few weeks ago, she looked like a powerful, seasoned female attorney.
  17. I don't know what the equivalent for women is to a man growing a beard is. Hmm?
  18. I respect any man who can grow a nice, thick beard. it's cool. Mine gets kinda scraggly when it gets longer and I have to trim it,
  19. Yep. I didn't burn through that until I was around 39 years old.
  20. Thanks for this. I will consider this carefully. Nice insight.
  21. Your life. Only your life is right under your nose.
  22. Areas that you might do personal development work in. Lemme list my 10: (In no certain order) Enlightenment Work Diet Exercise Scheduling Small Picture Life Purpose Work* Big Picture Life Purpose Work** Conceptual Understanding Work Projects International Cultural Travel Relationships *Small Picture Life Purpose work deals with identifying your Actual Problem Situations (APS) in your own life and setting up a daily routine that targets those. **Big Picture Life Purpose work is about aligning or re-aligning your career (your way to make money) with your strengths, passion, and life's calling.
