Leo would you recommend your books if you haven't started psychedelics yet?

You mean the one I am writing?

Of course. You want a theoretical foundation before jumping into psychedelics.

"If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Awakened?" Cardozzo 

Naval is usually on point but his quotes here don't make sense after awakening. They sound nice though.

The last one is true but you may have to change the definition of what smart means. Intellect has to be dropped at some point for awakening but maybe intellect is one of the drivers toward awakening in the first place.

"If you are such a rebel or if you are so brave, why aren't you awakened?"

Regarding your blog Merging Into Infinity.  Isn't this basically what atheists believe?  You die and there is nothing.

No.

You die and there is Everything.

I don't read the best

Oh come on don’t be so humble, you’ve been speaking professionally for like 12 years now. Your voice is top notch.

Quote

Whether you return from Infinity is unknown. You will not know if you will return. You may not, and that is the risk of union with God. As soon as you feel yourself getting pulled into Absolute Infinity you will probably freak out and quickly snap yourself back into finite material duality. Your mind will not allow a full union with Infinity because that is truly its death. It will feel like you are about to kill yourself just by merging with Infinity.

Beautiful.

Speaking and reading are different things. I am not good at reading long text smoothly. But maybe I will learn.

Professional readers are exceptionally good at it.

Personally, I would prefer the book narrated by yourself, Leo. Over anyone else. Just preference, as you are a good orator. 

Get good 😈 

New skill.

Train brain.

You would retch at how I pronounce vowels and consonants. They merge together into one drawl, and aussie accent/slang naturally abbreviates everything into monosyllabic trash

I'm not a professional but I would love to do an audiobook reading of the book lol
