What’s the word count thus far, @Leo Gura? And what makes Part 1 more difficult to write?

By the way, not having a retreat to look forward to anymore feels even worse for me right now. Are you still thinking about organizing one at some point?

I need to focus on the book, videos, and courses for now.

It doesn't make sense to do a retreat if I can package that material into an online course. It will be cheaper for you and more accessible to everyone.

I know some of you want to meet me, but that's not a top priority given all the important stuff I still need to create.

But some day, yes.

It's hard to count. I have it divided across many sections. Probably around 200,000.

Part 1 requires a lot of detailed epistemology explanations. Once the epistemology is done, the rest is easy. Getting into the weeds of epistemology gets hairy.

I will start work on some new ones soon.

What are the topics for the new video @Leo Gura. Also I'm currently struggling with truth and love, finding the balance. I have lost a few friends recently as I have been trying to be more honest with them, but I'm worried if I'm being truthful or selfish or hurtful, can you point me to any books, links to contemplate? Finally thank you for all your videos! I've listened to your recent videos a few times and every time pick up something  new! Thank you

Leo, I hear what you are saying about corruption and wealth. But I am gonna keep pursuing relative wealth and my life purpose.

[Leo Gura]

@Thought Art What you call wealth is poverty, haha 

[Thought Art]

@Leo Gura Okidokie? My whole life I’ve been poor. So, what you call poverty I call wealth. Rich guys. Sheesh. 

I am gonna be the richest guy in the world spiritually, and without being a fucking wage slave. I am going to contribute something positive too. I already am, it’s just scaling and being paid more.

@Thought Art Cheers!

Don't let me keep you in poverty.

@Leo Gura Yeah, ease up with your rants lol. JK do you king.

Obviously no one is gonna stop me I just wanted to share it for me and others looking to get out.

The corrupt people you speak about are beyond wealthy and they are cancerous now. Being a billionaire, or multi millionaire is something else. For me, making a good living off my life purpose is separate from those type of endeavours. I am not programmed like an Elon Musk. I simply couldn’t hurt so many people and think I was good. I feel shame, actually. I want to live in relative integrity.

Don’t get me wrong, I will be a millionaire in time. Not tomorrow, but I am gonna scale this thing. I will be one of the greatest commercial Qigong teachers in the world and the Qi I move will go on for thousands of years. Rippling peace, wellbeing and spirit.

I have guided the movement of thousands of people and soon it will be 10s, and 100s of thousands.

@Thought Art Yes, well, when you become a multi-millionaire, remember my rant, you might need it.

[Thought Art]

@Leo Gura Thanks for the encouragement. 

[Thought Art]

@Leo Gura ima be corrupt as fuuuck

That feels good to hear.

I'd travel to Las Vegas even just for a simple event or an end-of-day meetup. It wouldn't have to be big or include psychedelics to be worth the trip.

I'm actually going to a small, informal meeting tonight to connect with people from PSBE (Psychedelic Society Belgium). Maybe someday you could organize something along those lines, so it wouldn't be as much work for you as putting together a full retreat.

I'm genuinely thankful I didn't start off making loads of money in my early 20's like a lot of my hustler mates, because I would have definitely given into the temptations of the devil hahaha money, fame and success warps your world like fuck, makes so much sense why so many spiritually immature people who get "big" end up caving into ego-centric behaviour. It's actually very challenging to navigate being rich and famous. I am neither of these but I have had a peek into how messed up it gets. A peer of mine PsychedSubstance (somehow I genuinely think he might have turned things around with his recent revelation of seeing the benefits of meditation through actual practice ((watch this space)) made fuck tons of money through his YouTube and ended up broke countless times. It baffles me how much more money he makes than me on YouTube and he blew it all so many times ffs.

He is an addict so at least he has a decent excuse.

But yes, fame is very corrupting.

[Vido]

Very interesting. I was never rich but once I did get an amazing job and moved to Toronto, due to some impulse purchases I still stay "poor". Thankfully I'm not wealthy enough to  blow 1000's of dollars, but catching my self spend like crazy....all steaming from a lack and thinking this thing would fix it.

Once I have it...feels like life betrayed me ahhaha

You need to feel the lack deeply to grind but then indulge and it will burn you. quite a paradox for me

[Leo Gura]

Guys, do not misunderstand that quote as meaning you shouldn't work for good money.

I was making a much large point.

[Thought Art]

Spending is a weakness of mine I am improving.  but, I also don’t pay rent or buy food most of the year so I’m saving well. This year was a big gear hall which I’m happy with, camera, editing equipment, etc. I don’t have much else on my wish list except courses and studio rentals. I should be looking solid this time next year barring some fucked up stuff outside my control…

 

I plan to work the next 3-4 months and bring in 18-24k, then take a month or two of HAMMERING studying, making content and marketing. Etc etc I have a lot of traffic to my sales page and I just edited to match more closely Alex Hormozi’s offer models. Hopping to see more sales. I have multi year phases planned. 
 

I have a long term plan and I am growing into someone mature and capable. 
 

Im getting better with YNAB. Really critical thinking and consistent action is key.
