Will there be more videos about practical topics (like "No growth possible without training", "How to shop for healthy food", the commonplace book video etc.)?

At this point in my life I saw that those help me much more than the ones talking about enlightenment. Will you only cover deep philosophical and non-dual topics from now on?

Although, I've got to say, you helped me get an A in my "Meaning, Existence and Truth" class with the Derrida video. I referenced your video in my essay and I illustrated how when you apply Derrida's deconstructivism to Wittgenstein's Rule-Following Paradox, you can see that the paradox will forever remain unsolvable in any absolute sense, because it has the wrong epistemic foundations.

Took your advice and dug the academics a new hole on that one. ;)

Thanks in advance, Leo!

1-. I have read from yours that you watch prove to satisfy sexual cravings. Isnt porn low conciousness? doesnt masturbation drains you? if you have sexual cravings it isnt better to please them with a partner?

2-. why you dont do Strong Determination Sitting often?

"I watch porn and I don't feel bad about it. I don't view it as an addiction. The body has sexual cravings that need to be satisfied."

How often would you say you watch porn on average?  I think porn is one of the most difficult addictions to overcome precisely because the body has sexual cravings that we think NEED to be satisfied.  You've definitely mentioned in some of your episodes that porn can be an addiction and is a low-conscious activity.  I'm sure there's a lot of people on here that have noticed porn impacting their life negatively - one such thing I believe it leads to is objectifying women (or men) and greatly increasing  one's sex drive, which leads to a LOT more craving.

Do you really think porn is a harmless activity in moderation?  This is very controversial, high debated issue, and I keep flipping back and forth as my motivation to be free of porn wavers.  As someone I look up to, your opinion holds a lot of weight, but I'm quite surprised that you haven't seemed to notice any negative impacts in your life from porn.

You talk about spiritual enlightenment and the ultimate truth, big stuff with great meaning right? Then how come you sink so low to make a video about stupid stuff like"how to deal with a breakup"

Mentioning that I must also say that I have grown to respect you and your ideals a lot, which is why I am stuck in this questioning process to be certain that I am not listening to some confused low consciousness guy

Regarding your father : 

"It's very complicated. We had a falling out. I have not spoken to him for about 6 years and I don't even know where he is."

Damn, I'm sorry, that sounds like a great challenge. How has that affected your life and how do you think you'll get along in the future? @Leo Gura

Would you ever consider adding a Psychedelics section to the Life Purpose course? I found the course to be really useful in introducing a big picture understanding of the concept, but Psychedelics really showed me exactly where I wanted to be - in a much more direct manner than the questions did.

What do you mean by 'New Age'?

Have you ever watched Spirit Science and if so what are your views on them?

Have you ever watched the Documentary 'Black Whole' by Nassim Harriman? He's a new paradigm Physicist who proves the non-dual nature of reality using science, and then links it to ancient civilisations and sacred geometry. 

Have you done 5 grams of dried mushrooms in silent darkness like McKenna suggests?

Have you ever been interesting in doing a water or juice fast?

Have you tried a Raw Vegan diet before? I've found it to be extremely helpful for having more energy

Do you still do the 20 daily concentration practice? If so, do you still use a metronome app as the object for your concentration practice?

@alyra Every thing is conceptualing Self. A concept (ex., cat(s)) or concepts (ex., kitties and puppies) is just you. No need to analyze them. They are projections, like from Plato's cave, but they originate from your construct. You could think you are both the key and the lock. This is 100% true.

@Leo Gura You mentioned you meditate sometimes in the morning or late at night but you never miss a day, my question is for how long do you aim to meditate for? 

Thanks for reading

@alyra The only way I am able to describe it now is to go through the process is which the rest of you is aware of this. There will be nothing positive or negative for you to be concerned about anymore, for you will know in time all is with you, and "under control", in other words. (This is also a kind of non-duality)
