@Leo Gura sorry this is off topic but I tried emailing you for an interview/podcast on my channel and it didn't manage to send. There are no limits to how deep we can get in our discussion of God, psychedelics, mysticism, the scientific paradigm etc. I feel we are both coming at all this from a similar angle and I have had profound awakenings myself that will allow me to channel your insights better than previous podcast appearances you have been on. Let me know how to contact you to arrange a date. My audience is very interested in having you on.

Okay, we can arrange that. I will PM you.

Not sure if its a bit off topic, but want to share a gem of a video which recently popped up in my feed. It relates to Leo's recent Instragram video about frame control (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbKXDGnOmbO) and other topics about skills in dating in general.

What I like about it is how it pinpoints leadership mastery and how deep that goes. Usually advice in the field is generic and not grounded in examples - so here you have it.

Leo what age would you recommend start taking psychedelics?

You recommended age 30 at the minimum and in many videos you talk about taking them in your 30s.

However in your Burning Karma video which I recently viewed the spiritual half of your life (2nd half) technically begins at 40. So what kind of person would you prescribe starting psychedelics at 30s vs 40s?

I want a lot from material life; mastery in pickup, world class at LP, married, kids, travel, probably a business, friends, and more stuff I just don't know yet, so I think I have good reason to delay at 40. But I see the value in knocking it out at 30s. Imagine having 50 years to enjoy God consciousness.

@Magnanimous That's hard to say because it all depends on your desires and needs.

30+ is a good general guideline. But it also depends on how heavily you want to use them. Light, rare psychedelic use is very different from heavy chronic use. I don't recommend heavy chronic use until your material life is in order. Light, rare use can be done with less hesitation.

You can test the waters a bit and just see how it makes you feel. But if you are heavily focused on career, business, or dating, then I would avoid psychedelics for now.

I have never liked the framing that spirituality will make you immune to suffering.

It doesn't, but it can be deconstructed. I haven't achieved that either, but I've become aware of the possibility.

Suffering is not inherently real, but a very intricate - may I say genius - construction of GOD.

Yes, but don't underestimate how deep suffering can get when something serious goes wrong. That's not like sitting on the cushion meditating.

I don't pretend to be close to transcending suffering because I respect how deep suffering can get. Suffering is a construct like gravity is a construct. Good luck bending it to your will.
