Leo Gura

I don't understand. When did this start happening for you? I think everyone else is seeing the videos. Some videos may be region locked by YouTube. That's out of my control. Tell him that I can't restore it right now because the email service on the server is broken. I have to fix the email service first. Once I fix it then I will fix his account. Should take me a few days.

Look. Just like always, humanity will bumble through this mess and come out the other side. It's like raising a child. He's gonna be messy but it will work out.

You don't need any guru. No guru will do the work for you. There is nothing simpler than sitting and being conscious of yourself. There's no complex method. You just need to sit and focus for weeks on end. People don't want to do the work so they look for ways to complicate it with gurus. A guru is like a gym trainer. You don't need a gym trainer. You can just go to the gym and use common sense. The gym is not rocket science. And your gym trainer is not going to make your pushups any easier. Lazy, spoiled people hire gym trainers.

Can't relate. It's hard for me to find books that have enough depth to add to my understanding. Just read what interests you most.

Self-inquiry and hardcore retreats are the same thing. The two most powerful technique are: 1) Psychedelics, and 2) Hardcore solo retreats. That's what I've said for a long time. For self-inquiry to be effective it has to be done in the middle of a hardcore retreat.

Fascists gonna fash.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

That's not how Awakening works. You cannot predict it nor egoically will it to happen. The more you fantasize about having an Awakening, the further you will get from it. Your ideas of Awakening are not it. So be careful. It sounds like you are creating fantasies of it. Your mind needs to be laser focused on your direct experience, not dreams of being Awakened. Ideas of Awakening are not Awakening. I know this is not what you want to hear.

Don't kid yourself. Psychedelics are important, but they are easy compared to weeks of nonstop meditation.

Yes. But if you're just starting out there is no rush. Psychedelics is it's own deep domain and you can't do everything at once.

There's not much difference between bad faith and ignorance.

@Rafael Thundercat You better be fucking joking.

Because all truth is related.

I am open to that. But it still requires consciousness of Truth in the end.

I can't answer that because consciousness is not a quantity. A few grams of mushrooms worth of consciousness.

No. It's not hardcore. It's an excuse and a dodge from doing real work. The self will make any excuse to avoid self-annihilation. Being lost in illlusion is framed as spiritual or noble or "my truth". No. You're still just being selfish and unconscious.

That's a dream. Because you refuse to take psychedelics. You refuse to do the work required to understand the deepest truths. That is your choice. Realizing that the physical world is a hallucination requires insane levels of consciousness. Seriously. That level of consciousness is unimaginable.

Why do you assume that there is any dream but yours? Do you have any evidence whatsoever of other dreams? None. Yet you believe it. Why?

Being lost in survival is not hardcore truth, it is everyone's condition. Be careful not to romanticize how people lived in the past. They mostly lived like animals, not sages.

@Schizophonia You don't have enough experience to be making your claims.

Do you have any idea how hard Bill Gates worked? He worked nonstop for decades.

I only know of her what I saw in that one video. In that video she said many valid things. Andrew Tate is deeply problematic and not of the quality of Sadie in that video. How many 10s have you dated?

Psychedelics are 10x more effective than therapy at that. People just misuse them.
