All Personal Questions For Leo

[cirkussmile]

Do you get tears in your eyes sometimes for no reason?

Do you ejaculate? + your view on that.

[Kazman]

Have you read anything from Walter Russell? What is your opinion on him?

Also: what is your take on ancient aliens?

[John]

When and where did you reach access concentration?

How did it affect your practice moving forward?

 

[Scarecrow]

Do you do travel the world any?

[Loreena]

Are you a Christian ? 

What's your religion (technically) 

[Evilwave Heddy]

Have you got a course in the making as we speak?

[Vaishnavi]

I recently saw a video you created about 3 years ago where you talked about your vision, where you even mentioned writing books someday and having kids, but now that you're involved with enlightenment work so heavily, is that vision still relevant? I mean having kids and marriage and writing books, things along those lines?

Self-inquiry, do-nothing, and mindfulness with labeling.

Do you alternate days between doing the do-nothing technique and mindfulness with labeling? Or do you use both techniques in the same day?

Who are you?

[Lynnel]

Would you prefer to live a full life (arround 90 years) and never even hear about enlightenement or live only one day as an enlightened being ?

[Mondsee]

In some maybe not very recent videos you said the one big thing you wanted to focus on and master was personal development. Is it still the same? Has it maybe shifted more towards enlightenment?

[The White Belt]

@Leo Gura - Leo. The Peter Ralston interview. Why let his team put it on a channel with no way near as many subs as yourself, let them split it up into bits and render the quality quite badly? Did you film it for Peter or for your channel? 

[Huz]

How much of the material you present on your channel have you, or do you, actually embody ?

@Leo Gura You said in former videos that you are personally more kind of atheistic, critical about this whole afterlife debate and most of the time come across like "You have this one chance with life". Did and if how did your 5-MeO-DMT experiences changed your view on that? Do you now completely let go of an aftermath theory at all because one can just not fathom the complexity of it all? What are your thoughts on that?

After I experienced Absolute Infinity, I'm much more open about that. Life is basically an illusion. I wouldn't be too surprised if consciousness is "recycled" or there is an afterlife that's totally beyond our comprehension.

 

@Leo Gura FINALLY! I've been looking for someone else with a notion like this for several years. I was always thinking this is what Richard Dawkins is wrong about, since I got into getting to know about "new atheism". It didn't make logical sense to me that consciousness would cease to exist with death, and I have been getting more and more sure about it. Problem was that I couldn't find any of my atheistic "idols" thinking like this, and not many other people elsewhere (a few partly on the internet, with questionable sources).

My reason for it, and I use logic, maybe that's not how you look at it (because you say you can't use logic to develop enlightenment), is that firstly, you can't be conscious of being unconscious, which means that time doesn't pass for the "dead". If you get unconscious on earth you won't feel the weeks or months it takes to wake up from a coma. So what if this time is infinite? You'll never wake up? Will you wait? No, to me this paradox leads me to supect that "I" had a 100% chance of experiencing consciousness, because that's the ONLY time that can exist, and always will continue to exist in the "future" (I'm not defining time in scientific terms here). There were an infinite amount of other people or "consciousnesses" who could have been in my place, so it just doesn't seem like a coincidence, if it was, consciousness wouldn't have been needed in nature, because of a deterministic universe. I suspect consciousness is a necessity, like a law, because being uncoscious for eternity doesn't make any sense. And like you say when enlightened, I am nothing, but also everything, the universe. That's my notion. 

We had to wake up somewhere on the time line of eternity, is a quote I have used earlier (by me). Before we were born, we were "dead", so in that sense, we have already raised from the dead. Makes sense?

Loved to see this comment, that made me happy, lol.

 

Do you agree with my take on this?

[Morky]

What do you think about Tulpae, healthy multiplicity, and multiple consciousnesses? Do you think more than one consciousness can inhabit your body? I would really recommend that you look into these ideas if you don't know much about them.

[Skenderberg]

@Leo Guraif you only had the chance to recommend one book to the entire world, wich one? and why.

Hey Leo! did you change your surname? Because "Guru" and "Gura" are a pretty similar... or is just a lucky coincidence? (If you don't want answer no problem  )

No

Have you done any research on music therapy and how music could potentially help achieve enlightenment? Do you think music is a viable way of helping people with mental health issues or becoming enlightened?

No

I follow the international news, reading an international journal weekly, but I can see how not objective the report of the news is.

Do you have any suggestion on where to find great news?

By the way I still follow the news because it helps me to get a general understanding of where the world is going.

But also, I'm noticing that I get a lot of information from them, but I find myself powerless in front of all the madness that is going on.

How would you assimilate news in an empowering way?

Thanks for everything you do Leo

News isn't empowering. It's like bathing with pigs. I guess the best way would be by reading a high quality journal / paper.

Hi @Leo Gura

1.Can one start meditation practice by "do nothing " technique? There is a separate video as "meditation for beginners,does that means this technique or others are not for beginners?

2.Do nothing can be done with eyes closed?Why only open eyes are mentioned by you.

3.where did you learnt about this technique in particular?Also where you learn about other techniques and there rules ,understandings etc?

 

Yes, you can start there. Yes, eyes open or closed. I usually do it easy-open otherwise it's easier to fall asleep.

Leo, where did you get the idea of 100% responsibility from? 

Not sure. It's a pretty common idea in self-help. And it's just common sense.

1) How does having so many fans\followers\subscribers affect your personal growth. In terms of deeper aspects such as ego, not in terms of time-management.

2) Do you have any seniors\elders\mentors that you cross-reference new insights with? How do you gauge if new insights and ideas are true? 

1) Of course it inflates the ego. But it also does check the ego because I am open to feedback and my mistakes become more apparent to me when I interact with people.

2) I cross-reference dozens and even hundreds of sources. Every new insight has to fit all the other stuff I've learned. After a long time of doing this, it's really easy to filter out bullshit.

@Leo Gura

 

in a recent video you mentioned your interest in becoming a yogi. it sounded somewhat like you were saying, go off and disappear from society, and that you were delaying on this because you didn't want actualized.org to die. Have you yet considered the following ideas - that in a certain way, the cultures of the world, they are an extension of "I" and that one person is like a node in a complex neural network? That one's pursuit of Yogi could serve a purpose for the species as a whole - to find a higher level of enlightenment and return to culture with more intense understanding, able to influence then the culture with the result of the Yogi mediation and work? If , we suppose, you or someone in your position would do such a thing, the interest would be in guiding actualized.org to be in a self-sustaining setting, without the need for the central guide, so that the central guide could leave for 10, 15, 20, 30 years and return later to impact it at a more advanced level? 

 

it may be clear that I've not pondered this idea super deep, and I'm not on a super deep understanding of the "self" or etc.  but I'm just curious if you've pondered a similar line of thinking at some point. 

I have no interest in creating a cult or a corporation. I just a guy doing his art. I don't want to manage a throng of minions.

@Leo Gura Are you ever going to go travelling? And, for how long? You mentioned India a lot. The duration of your stay and where you travelled to will matter a lot. Yes, it will matter if you're only a tourist or if you stayed 5+ yrs. After your journey, ask yourself, will you be able to honestly share your journey with anyone?

(I'd like to share something with you here, Leo. It's about the difference between being just a tourist and staying 5+ yrs in let's say India.  The difference is comparable to writing a book like Tony Robins to writing something like Spiral Dynamics. So, you're doing researching nowadays. How are you researching? Just books?)

I would like too, but have other priorities.

Do you still have days when you jus feel depressed and sad, or days when you feel lazy and bored? 

Also do you still have any addictions?

Depressed, not really. Lazy and bored, yes.

Yes, many subtle addictions.

@Leo Gura

I just saw in today's video that you were saying you did not feel 100% healthy / feeling good in your body.

What kind of coaching are you getting to work on this issue? Have you ever check Paul Chek's material, or coaching from his institute?

If not I think you should, I'm pretty sure you'll like his way to work around health !

Plus, he doesn't often mention it online but he is a shaman himself

Thanks for your work Leo !

It's a complex issue.

Leo do u still use affirmations, Visualization etc

I've used them a lot. Less nowadays because of my existential work.

On 2/26/2017 at 7:52 AM, Nahm said:

What beliefs do you hold?

Also, why do you skip answering my questions?

Thousands of beliefs. The key is that I understand they are beliefs.

Ask better questions

On 2/28/2017 at 2:17 PM, Mondsee said:

 Do you still practice reviewing a Mission Statement every day? If no, why?

No, because my whole life is already it. If anything, I have the opposite problem.

@Leo Gura

Do you have a vision board?  What does it look like?

I show my vision boards in the life purpose course.

Question: 

Leo, when you were struggling when you got out of college, what motivated you to keep moving forward with your life and not giving up? Why didn't you decide to give up?

I wasn't really struggling. I was excited to get my career going, doing my art, and having a big impact in the world.

Do you still have a new flow of physical energy after the Al-Lad trip?

No, it was a temporary thing.

How do you reconcile Chaos Theory and Free Will? 

There's no conflict. Reality is infinitely complex and it functions all by itself, without you, without free will.

What is your prime methodology of thinking? Is it through words or is it through visualisations/feelings/colours/pictures?

I've very visual. But also intuitive.

On 3/6/2017 at 8:20 AM, John said:

Where do you meet women these days? Do you still use techniques you learned in game?

I don't. Not a priority for me.

If I did go out, yes, I would rely on many things I learned in game.

On 3/7/2017 at 8:32 AM, PetarKa said:

Leo, is the Personal Development Blueprint still updated regularly? If it's not, do you recommend people using it for building a strong foundation for Self-Actualization?

No, it's not updated. It requires a lot of work which I don't have time for right now.

I would follow the weekly videos instead.

On 3/7/2017 at 8:40 PM, TeamBills said:

I heard a few years ago from 1 of your videos that you were going to create a video that explained what eating unhealthy food does to your brain, are you still planning on doing this video?

No, don't remember that at all. Not a high priority.

@Leo Gura Is the LoA worth doing? I think that i might be wasting my time with it.

Yes, depending on your level of development.

@Leo Gura  I know it's a long shot, but would you ever post bloopers? ?

That'd be interesting. Never considered it.

On 3/8/2017 at 5:02 PM, Echoes said:

@Leo Gura  Have you ever had any bad experiences with people recognizing you in real life? any angry egos chasing you?

No. All the experiences have been very positive other than one death threat through the mail.
