3 different questions:

  1. What are your thoughts on Jungian typology? Would be interesting to see you cover the topic of human archetypes in the near future.
  2. Am I crazy or did your eyes actually turn green? I can't help but notice that you seemed to have had bright blue eyes in your older videos... which is kinda weird. Maybe it's a camera thing.
  3. Astrology... not your typical everyday horoscope bullshit, but rather in-depth, hardcore Astrology with natal charts, planetary placements and aspects. Been doing a lot of research (since 2014) and frankly, I see a lot of veracity to it. What are your thoughts on Astrology and out of sheer curiosity, what's your zodiac sign?

In your last motivational video you said that working at Mc Donald was not work, but bullshit. Then you said that it was the same thing for a programmer.

However, I consider programming harder then working at Mc Donald. You need more concentration and solve harder problems.


What is real work for you?

@Leo Gura - I feel bad because I, like everyone would love to pick your (non-existent) brain about random shit for days.. I'll give you props, cause answering all of these takes quite a bit of time - But I promise I'll keep it simple...

In the most briefest explanation possible as I could imagine this could potentially become overwhelmingly long and too revealing for us - where do you hope to see yourself and actualized.org as a whole in 5 and or 10 years?

@Leo Gura is yours mastery stil personal development? Or has it changed into something like being a sage? What would be the difference between these two and how does one master being a sage?

Happy new year :)

whats your opinion on intensity (or going to the edge of your comfortzone) in terms of making progress in any area?

for example in deliberate pratice you need to go at the edge of your comfortzone to improve your skills

in deep work you have to concentrate at the egde of your ability to concentrate to get the best results(without distractions for a longer period of time)

in work out you have to have some sort of intensity if its too easy for your body you may not make as much progress as if you where doing it more intense 

to ace life one have to do something emotional difficult (or at the egde of ones emotional comfortzone)

does intensity play a bigger role than a less experience in personal development would think in terms of progress in any area?

You think it's possible to theoretically understand nonduality

NO, you must investigate for yourself and you must experience it for you to understand

What service did you use to create the actualized.org forum? A site I'm on was looking to use a different service for their forum, and this is probably the best forum I have seen.

@Leo Gura you said in a blog post once something along the lines of some ideas if shared would make you lose credibility because they're so extreme. Could you give an example of one :)

It's still possible global warming might turn about to have non-human causes, but that doesn't excuse all the pollution we're doing.

I'm curious to what you regard to make it certain without reasonable doubt that the global warming that happens today is mainly caused by humans.

What would you regard as compelling evidence for this? Given that 97 percent of all actively publishing climate scientist all over the world agree:

1. What colour do your eyes have? They looked blue at first, but recently they seem to have turned into gray. I went fullscreen on a video, and I realised they are actually green?? Do they change colours perhaps? In any case, they're very beautiful and profound!

2. In your video, "The Dark Side of Meditation", you talk about side effects / unpleasant effects of meditation. What is the worst you experienced in your meditation journey?

3. If ego is unnecessary, why does it exist? Or rather, how did in come into existence? Some people claim it's even impossible to remove ego, but it's possible to heal it, so that it gives you the best support you need (I read this in an article somewhere). What are your thoughts on this?

@Leo Gura

Leo, thank you very much for everything you've done ! I wish you a lot of well-being and love in your life!

For the last two or three weeks a thought couldn't escape my mind. I've stumbled across a teacher with a very broad perspective on life. I remember how you like it when "everything comes together", "the big picture thing", "the pieces come together", "lots of perspectives" and I'm getting the same feeling when I read his work. So, for the last weeks I've been  thinking "I've got to write Leo about this, he's got to know". I think mentioning this guy is the best thank you I could ever give you.

His name is Валерий Синельников (Valeri Sinelnikov) and the book I would suggest you to read is named "Возлюби болезнь свою" (Love your disease) [it's an introduction to his work]. I hope you remember how to read in russian, as I strongly suggest to read the original, not the translation. I'm sure you're going to enjoy the shit out of it and will crave, like a little bitch, for more. I love you, Leo!
