📩 Premium Clips Vault - Suggestions Box

[ZenSwift]

This dedicated thread serves as a suggestion box for Leo’s Premium Clips Vault.

 

Please take time to deeply contemplate your questions and requests so they are clear, direct, powerful, and valuable for others.

[Xonas Pitfall]

I have a few!

1. I’m sure a lot of people would be really interested in different trip reports involving various chemicals, research chemicals, or combinations thereof (equivalent to, for example, Leo’s Salvia, Ketamine, DPT, 5-MeO-DMT, MALT videos, etc). Even that mysterious shroom juice he shared on Instagram would be interesting! I know Leo has expressed plenty of times that he doesn’t want to share a decent chunk of them, but it would still be fascinating to hear about any new chemicals, protocols, or combinations, as well as insights into how different substances may differ, what kinds of reactions or realizations they can produce, or even just Leo’s own stories.
2. Tips on how one would approach testing, mixing, and trying out their own research chemical protocols. How do you manage and do it yourself?
3. Perhaps some quick Kriya Yoga tips too! Reading about them in Leo’s comments is useful, but a demonstration would likely be a much more powerful and effective way of teaching.
4. I’d also love the topic of solipsism vs infinite God awakening to be talked about: the differences, the clarifications. I’m wondering if there are some hidden nuggets of truth I’m missing.
5. I’d also love to hear your experiences on retreats and workshops. I remember one video where you shared an insight into Peter Ralston’s workshop (if I remember correctly): "Oh, the person gets that the finger is the pointer! How does it even understand it’s the relational operator, etc.?" I might be butchering it from memory, but some stories or quick snippets of your own “aha moments” that are very describable or specific would be great.
6. Definitely more about alien awakening, or just weird, funky, alien-like, or shocking states of consciousness. I especially enjoyed the blog post where Leo shared that watching Stephen Wolfram’s video on alien-like forms of perception and consciousness sparked an insight for him. Content like that is personally very fascinating to me, so I’d love to hear more experiences, insights, or stories in that direction.
7. Topics and personal stories about psychedelic delusions and self-deception you've experienced: When have psychedelics actually been more deceptive, harmful, and not enlightening?
8. I feel like this is a very important topic to be more conscious and aware of, and something that should be talked about more: physical dangers, preventative care, pre-trip protocols, harm reduction, and tips for having safer and better trips while avoiding bad ones, etc.
9. Also, it’d be interesting to hear more political and historical realism insights, like some of the stories you shared about corruption involving the CIA, Afghanistan, Israel, etc. Just more mind-expanding facts, historical perspectives, and lesser-known insights from the books you’ve read. I recall you mentioned reading dozens of books on topics like torture, corruption, geopolitics, and human behavior, so I can imagine there’s a lot of fascinating material and perspectives that haven’t really been shared yet. I’m sure you can generate plenty of clips here from having read so much, haha.
10. Perhaps you can also share insights on how you manage your happiness and baseline consciousness levels despite health issues. What would you say to someone struggling with something similar?
11. I also remember a long time ago you mentioned you would make a video on Visual Logic and what creativity is. I’d love to hear some nuggets about that.
12. The ancient, legendary, mythic, long-overdue Witch Girlfriend video?

Just some random ones for now! Obviously, I fully understand that some of these are reserved for the awakening course or retreats, but I’m sure some of these can be spoken about in some manner

I have not said I read thousands of books on that. Dozens, yes.

If I read a thousand books on torture I would kill myself. Lol

Perhaps it would be like.... torturing yourself to death  huehuehue sry back on topic I couldn't help it

[Leo Gura]

I don't think a hundred books on torture have even been written.

I was reading an Iraqi torture manual once and I had to put it down because it was just too much to stomach.

You don't want to read even one such book.

Suggestion: insights into how Leo generates content (both the long & short video formats).

For example, any processes to select/organize insights and ideas (e.g., from your commonplace book), draw connections among them, and then distill it into a structure that guides you when recording the video.

Suggestion: how to communicate complex or high-consciousness topics effectively.

I understand the listener must be open-minded, but I’m curious about additional insights into communicating complex ideas persuasively — especially topics that require the listener to develop a sensitivity to nuance for the deeper insights to truly click.

Okay. I made a 40 minutes video on that for you. I'll add it to the Vault later in the week.

A couple suggestions: 

1) You’ve talked about being able to invent your own states of consciousness, such as the alien mouse. I know this might be reserved for the awakening course, but could you at least describe how to create your own states of consciousness—ones that are different from transpersonal mystical consciousness, but equally profound? For example, what if I want to live in fairy tale consciousness?

2) On a similar note, how does consciousness allow for true originality? You’ve talked before about having a truly original thought (more difficult than it seems); this seems to relate to orthogonal thinking, where your mind goes in a completely different direction. This could have applications in personal development or business as well as spirituality.

3) A radical skepticism demo, where you go through the deepest levels of skepticism and see what comes out on the other side (absolute truth?). And what if you doubt even absolute truth? I’m thinking Descartes-style skepticism, but more profound.

4) I think this deserves a full video, just wanted to draw attention to it

Thanks to everyone for the ideas, I will take them all into consideration. If not for clips then for courses. Some of the material is good for clips and other for courses.

@Leo Gura just an idea for you .. throwing it out there .. I've watched your 4 vlog videos on your blog on creativity disproportionately more than any other video on your channel .. I tried to learn creativity from many other sources, but the prob is with most other creativity sources, they are a bit too academic, not as inspirational, and I don't feel like I'm tapping into creativity as I'm engaging with those sources. Your videos were great in that sense, and I can keep coming to it, and I'd always have new creative ideas just from listening to those alone, just during the videos alone. I know you know the value of creativity, as you're planning a course on it and stuff (if that's still coming), but I just wanted to emphasize how important those videos are, and maybe the vault can have its own area just for creativity alone. 

[Leo Gura]

@Jayson G Okay, I'll see what else I can conjure up on that topic.

[Phil King]

Could you please make a clip on this blog post about the choice between truth and sex: https://actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-264

I think this was one of your craziest takes and people moved right on

[bazera]

@Leo Gura Maybe you could also make one about conscious relationships, non-violent communication, that kind of stuff.

Also, in one of the shorts you mentioned that the only way we know how to relate to someone is selfishly. You said that in an intimate relationship, we use other as an object to satisfty our needs, and we call that love and don't even know the alternative ways of relating.

So, what's the alternative? Why should we even be in a relationship if not for selfish needs? 

I think that needs explaining.

[bazera]

Also, it would be nice to tell about your Kriya practice in short, how it benefits you, and why you like it.

[Davino]

Shadow work?

@Leo Gura Can you eventually make a video on deconstructing the myth of AI? I feel this is now more relevant as the bubble is quite close to bursting. I would love to hear your high level deconstruction of it. It seems like a perfect continuation from deconstructing rationality. I cannot tell you just how against I am on the belief that AI will become conscious. This has led to extreme AI psychosis. And you were right. You predicted that scaling alone will not produce AGI. That turned out to be 100% true. People need to realize that the AI hype is bullshit mostly and is damaging our environment so badly.
