I'm not sure why you're making philanthropy a stage. It's no more a stage than being a cowboy is stage.

For me, the influence I already have is enough. If anything, I spend too much of my time helping people. The next stage for me would be to go totally solo, yogi-in-a-cave-style.

I know you had great influence on us in different areas. We appreciate that. That itself is philanthropy.

However, what is a person to do after he/she becomes a full fledged entrepreneur through the life purpose and parked the money in real estate? Philanthropist. :) It's good to know this because ppl do become "slugs" if they don't.  I got that term "slug" from your motivational video. I know you heard of the term "spoiled rich kids." That's what happens to someone if they don't know the next stage in life. Non-duality is only at the tippy-top of Maslow's. That map is correct. Not everyone is ready for the tippy-top. Non-duality / enlightenment / riding the ox backwards only comes in a flash. Then, it's back to work on earth.

Life is a school, Leo. You said that in your blog somewhere. You can experience life being a school as a spiritual experience. You got to graduate from this school properly otherwise you may have to repeat it. Duality is non-duality. Things in duality count heavily. Much work is needed here on earth to reduce suffering. Imagine being a philanthropist of some kind and you live in an area where the laws are unjust. You could gather a team of lawyer/philanthropists and sue the gov. Did you know England got rid of slavery that way? By just a change of law? Interesting story. They didn't have to sacrifice lives for a civil war. 

Why do you want to be a cave style yogi, Leo?

How has doing a lot of consciousness work changed your sexuality? Would you consider yourself straight? Would you be open to have sex with a guy?

I watch videos on Youtube. I sometimes watch documentaries. I follow the news. I chat or sext with my girlfriend. I drive around town late at night. I take roadtrips.

Hey! I just remembered you promised a long long time ago a video on quality sexting!! Is that ever gonna happen?

haha it'd be weird seeing it on your channel given the type of content you're delivering lately, but I'd watch it!! xD

Do you consider college/university necessary for someone who is 18 years old? I feel an urge to go out there and do my own thing, but i’m afraid i might be wasting the opportunity of going to college and learning more. Also it sorta supplies me with a saftey net. However, I have always been a self-education type of person.

Hey @Leo Gura what would say is a good strategy for reconciling contradictions? Specifically; having a life's purpose vs knowing that life is meaningless?

isn't there better tools than direct experience for truth?

for example, some people have direct experience that the earth is flat (if you don't know it just search flat earth on youtube)

they even try to say things in science is wrong just to make it *work* like saying gravity doesn't exist

they say that you just have to look at the earth when you are standing on it to see it is flat and that you can't see any curve and that what they experience etc.

however if you ask an astronaut he or she would say that the earth is a sphere as that what they had a direct experience from space 

they both had a direct experience but got a different result but there are actually tools I think in geometry that you can test out here on earth to see that is a sphere and not flat doesn't that mean that you need more complicated tools than direct experience as you could miss out on a lot of details and maybe even be entirely wrong?

If you couldn't pursue both and had to choose one pursuit over the other, would you rather pursue your Life Purpose and succeed to the degree where it actually changes the world completely or would you pursue Truth?

You have said in at least two episodes that in order for you to be recording at that time, you had to force yourself to do it, that is, you applied the "going through the motion" technique, in order to make yourself do it. How often do you feel that? That is, do you have battle with laziness on a consistent basis, or are your days becoming more and more effortless? (like you mentioned in the 10 things you don't know you want episode)

Thank you.

  1. What do you think of Mark Passio and his work on natural law and occult teaching?
  2. What's your opinion on The School Of Life and Alain De Botton? 
  3. Are there any Youtube channels you follow for recreational purposes or just to have a different perspective? (say Vsauce, nerdwriter or Wisecrack?)
  4. Also, do you plan to bring the reputation points back anytime?
