Yes, he does. Even, rock has intelligence. It's called rock intelligence. Rock is perfect at being a rock. Earth is perfect at being a big chunk of rock that supports human intelligence. Trump is perfect at being trump. In a human perspective, trump still has intelligence. He was smart enough to figure out how to make other presidential candidates look bad in comparison to himself. He was smart enough to grow his business. He doesn't look smart as a president, though. But, he was smart enough to make north korea pretend to give up nuclear weapons without actually starting a nuclear war. I cannot pull off those feats. His IQ seems to be high. I bet his emotional intelligence is not high. Notice that trump couldn't have pulled off those things without the support of his environment. If trump grew up in the stone age, he would become a stupid caveman.

@Leo Gura How is it a higher kind of order? Is it better at establishing stability? Higher in Spiral Dynamics?

I guess rabbits don't have ego. Do they?

I guess most meat eaters acknowledge selfishness of eating meat. Most people don't like killing animals.

Even, your brain is part of your dream. Do you suggest that other people's actions are created by me?

This reveals the power of visualization. https://www.actualized.org/articles/visualization

@Leo Gura I like none of them. Green PC bans criticisms of their own group and welcomes hate speeches toward other groups. Green PC doesn't ban racist speech, hate speech, and cruel speech targeted toward outsiders. Different kinds of Green groups often can hate each other. Orange PC actually welcomes criticism of the evils of competitor corporations. Blue PC welcomes criticism of other religions and other countries. As you said, it's law of attraction. If you think so much about something, you will make it happen. I become aware that no Tier 1 stage of Spiral Dynamics is better than others. We can become so much better than this hot mess. But, because I know that I am just a small individual who can't change the tide of human civilization, I will focus on being free from others' opinions. Ultimately, my income shouldn't be dependent on some people's opinions. I want to be able to freely create contents without worrying about censorship. I want to do away from politics and be financially free from politics. I shall focus on life purpose.

Don't get me wrong. I don't like animal slaughter. I want it to end someday.

@Stoica Doru What the hell is enlightenment? Leo Gura said on this forum that he is not enlightened.

You are nothing!

I watched the video from 25:00. He often made snake noise. He shook his hand a lot. Is that what you mean by his true self?

Is an ant an analogy for a human? A human ant? In stock markets, individual investors are called ants.

Some people reported having gone to DMT hell after consuming DMT. They believed DMT hell actually existed and they could be eternally stuck in DMT hell after physical death. This is quite scary. Leo said reality is absolutely infinite and contains anything that can exist. This seems to mean that DMT hell can actually be a place you can go to and live in. Perhaps, there are already infinite number of entities eternally stuck in DMT hell.

Is letting go not a matter of dosage? With high enough dosage, psychedelics can destroy human ego instantly.

So, is there really such a thing as hell?

Are you going to mars?

I had wanted to do nothing for 2 hours, but I couldn't find a time. Today, I found a time slot for doing it. I set a countdown timer for 2 hours. It was a bit difficult to do nothing for 2 hours because it was hot today. I was sweating on my clothes. During 2 hours, I frequently fell into naps and subsequently had day dreams because I was a bit deprived of sleep. I quickly realized I was day-dreaming and went back to the present moment. In those day dreams, I realized I was imagining all the characters in my day dreams. In those dreams, I was often characters that I am not in this physical reality. It was weird because I was those characters with my memories. Leo often appeared in my mind and shouted "everything is one!!". Fragments of Leo's videos appeared in my mind. Leo was lecturing me about nature of human ego in my mind. I was verifying his theory that life is a dream. It seemed to make sense as a possibility. I was looking for elements of my day dreams in the physical reality. I noticed that in both the physical reality and my day dreams, every character including me was out of control. I couldn't control how my hands and legs moved during 2 hours. Free will itself was controlled by internal and external influences. Perhaps, illusion of free will is my ego. Perhaps, this physical reality is really my dream and everyone including this human called me is really just a puppet in my dream. After 2 hours of doing nothing, I was able to perceive the physical reality as a dream for the next few hours. But, other than temporary change of perception, nothing really changed. I was not sure about this experience. Was I hallucinating? Was it real? Leo's videos + meditation = 5-LeO-DMT? It was substantially easier to do the emotionally difficult thing and fend off distractions while I was perceiving reality as a dream. Another good side effect of doing nothing for 2 hours is that I gained access to long term memories usually buried in my subconscious mind. Because I was constantly reminded of results of my own productivity research in the long term memory, my awareness of distractions and productivity was raised. Doing nothing for 2 hours made me more aware of incoming distractions and their destructive effects over time. In other words, I became more productive by gaining access to long-term memory that usually remains submerged in my subconsicous mind. Meditation jogs your subconscious mind and your long-term memories. Long-term memories raise your awareness of distractions. If you don't access your long-term memories, you will temporarily forget destructiveness of distractions. Access to subconscious mind is good for performing at your full potential. From now on, I am going to meditate for 20 minutes every morning before I start working.

To work towards my life purpose, I need to conquer procrastinations and addictions sustainably. It seems that even, Leo Gura is still addicted to the internet after many psychedelic trips and many hours of meditation. If Leo still is addicted to the internet after years of work, it means I can't rely solely on doing nothing and meditation. After many years, I won't be able to pursue my life purpose due to financial constraints. I can't wait for years. I need something that works in a short amount of time. Are there high-yield techniques specifically designed to just conquer procrastination and addictions fast and hard? I know that it's essential to watch Leo's videos and practice concepts in his videos, but it seems I need something more. Perhaps, should I rearrange my life so that addictions exist but don't have a chance to manifest for many years?

After sleeping for 5 hours, I woke up. My senses were sharp. Time seemed to slow down. I was more aware of myself. After taking a shower, the level of awareness dropped. Boredom seems to increase my awareness, too. Perhaps, I should not run away from boredom. Increased levels of awareness slow time down and thus feel like life extension.

@Nahm What is your nondual understanding of the power of my focus?

I wrote down my life purpose in clear terms in a text file. My values are clear. Would it help me with procrastination? Would it give more definition to my life purpose?

@Nahm My focus? Do you know about my situation?

@Nahm Is that your direct life experience? How much did it help in your life? How do you actually apply it to your life purpose? Do you apply it to your life by constantly asking yourself what you really want out of your life?

@ajasatya It is not that serious. It just means that in a few years, I need to find a way to either conquer addictions sustainably or make it very difficult for addictions to manifest. Perhaps, I could find a way to turn addictions into my ally until I conquer them. For example, quitting social activism instantly turns social addictions into a non-problem. I just needed to accept quitting social activism. At first, my ego didn't want to quit it because it felt important. But, quitting it saved me from countless hours of social addictions. This video helped me a lot, too because I decided to stop wasting time on arguing with haters and critics and trolls. This is another social addiction that became easier to conquer. However, I fear that I may fall into another random short-term addiction soon.
