What effect do psychedelics have on your mind the days after taking them? Do you feel hazy? Do they affect your cognition or mindfulness?

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?

@Leo Gura Please can you post a photo of yourself when you were overweight? It would be very illuminating to see how far you've come with your health. And I'm just nosey I guess;)

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?

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 ?

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?

@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?

@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? :)
