I've seen a couple old threads where talk about ALA as if it is just another supplement. I have been reading "The Mercury Detoxification" manual, a book about Mercury Chelation via the Andy Cutler Method; ALA is used to test if you have Mercury, by taking increasing your dosage every three hours, if you experience side effects, it means that the Alpha-Lipoic-Acid has found something to Chelate - ALA is a chelating agent, it will move Mercury through your body, it is not just another supplement. There are other people on here that are more educated on the Andy Cutler method than me (I'm only like 40 pages into my book), and I would encourage them to contribute to this thread. I would hate for somebody to read a thread where someone mentions they take ALA as a supplement, then go out and buy it, and cause damage to themselves.

Sadghuru says that Hatha yoga "prepares the body for higher possibilities", and the practice Surya Kriya is practiced with the intention of deepening States of meditation. Therefore I ask: can practicing Hatha yoga deepen psychedelic trips? Is Hatha yoga the only way to increase spiritual possibility? E.g. If I were to eat a big Mac, it probably wouldn't feel to great.

Some Australian hip-hop. Stage green content imo.

I have attempted to do The Work of Byron Katie in the past. I saw some really awesome results, and once paired it with LSD and saw amazing potential for magnifying love. My main issue was that it would take me like 3 hours to do a worksheet. This would be fine, but I have this idea that a self help habit just be done everyday to be successful. Is this a limiting belief? I've tried to spend entire days doing the process, but I've just crapped out and gone to binge eating (ego backlash). Would it be okay to do the same worksheet, for the time span of an hour a day, and hour and a half maybe more? What if one worksheet was inquired over a few days?

Thankyou for your reply. When I say "the worksheet", I'm talking about the series of inquiry prompts that she outlines in her book "loving what is", which is the same as her worksheet. She also has other variations of her worksheet. Katie advises against doing The Work in the mind, she says that if you only do the work in the mind, the mind can distort stories and choose as outcome rather than realizing deeper truth. - Doing the Work in the mind is apart of the vision of The Work. After becoming an advanced practitioner, the mind does the process subconsciously.

Lol, now that you mention it, a lot of people. Did this take you a few hours? Thanks for your reply

Tell that to someone in a war torn country. Many people, like myself, are extremely privileged.

Cool designs. My dad has had some success as a sculptor. The way he has done so it applying for competitions when they come up, that is where he gets exposure, and then other galleries get interested in your work, art collectors become patrons. Also regular art exhibitions is a good way to get exposure, also can be really fun, fulfilling projects. Have lots of product, apply for things as soon as they come up.

Killer recipe, thanks. Bookmarked!

What has been the most difficult insights to integrate?

Sounds pretty similar to my highschool experience. I graduated last year. Difficult to relate to people who weren't interested in personal development. When i attended a meditation class I met some people into that. Went on some retreats with them. Three years later they are some of my closest friends. Reached out to a family friend's son who has a podcast on nutrition, we now do wim Hof together and he is also passionate about personal development. So my practical advice is to go and attend events that you're interested in, with people there, and reach out to people you know have similar interests to you. Doing this has allowed me to socialize, and to start to distance myself from people I used to hang out with who are into drinking, smoking and other stuff I'm not interested in anymore.

I know I want to be an entrepreneur. But I also really want to find that creative, artistic work that fills my soul (being a youtuber, a music composer), and reselling items for profit on eBay is not that work. But, I resold a DVD, and I made more than 100% profit. Today I sold an old book that was lying around for $30. I have proven that there is potential to make money doing reselling, and if I actually put time and money into it, I could create income on my own schedule, not answering to a boss. My question is, is this a wise route to put time and money into, or would it be more worth my time to just go straight for my more creative ideas e.g. Start a Youtube channel, a personal development vlog etc. @Average Investor I understand you make a living from reselling, I'd love to hear your take.

I'd love to hear Leo talk about topics such as Manifestation, The Soul, Multi-dimensional beings, 5d. I think lots of people take such concepts to be fundamentally what spirituality is, and by reading about such practices, pursuing them in whatever ways, they think they are growing spiritually. Therefore I think many people would benefit from Leo's perspective.

Sounds so much like my relationship with my brother. My brother is convinced that he understands everything about life, and everything about me. This caused lots of tension, and exhausting arguments that just looped between him: "I want you to change because I think the way you live is wrong", me: "No thanks, I've thought through my life decisions and want to see them through", and this would just go on and on. I eventually realized that people don't need to understand you, they can't really. Your mind and emotions are changing all the time, so the snippets you attempt to convey through language are not super accurate. Your family doesn't need to understand you, especially if you want to do something like start a business as an expression of your life purpose, do serious spiritual work, have a deep realization. Most people have never even considered such things, so don't expect them to be supportive of you, even if they're related to you.

I feel like when I'm not doing "the work" e.g. Developing practical skills, spiritual practice, contemplating, researching etc. And I'm procrastinating, doing something comfortable like bingeing Netflix, I am waiting for it to be comfortable to change my behaviour and get back to doing the work. When I am motivating myself to get out of bed early in the morning, I record motivational speeches for myself to listen to, to inspire me and remind me why I'm making this change. But in a sense I'm trying to make the change more easy than it would be if I were to just push myself out of bed. Will it ever be the comfortable choice to change my behaviour?

"Science is objectively true" - Neil Degrasse Tyson Not my personal objection, but I think a response to this kind of belief would be one I'd like to hear. Considering how popular Neil is, and how many people (I know personally) believe this statement is true.

Unsustainable industry is an odd dilemma; probably a good life purpose for someone to pose some actionable solutions to them. I used to attend vegan seminars, animal rights protests, lecture almost every single person. Moan, whine, bitch about all the facts about veganism.This went on for three years. Then tried to incorporate eggs into my diet, to see how it would make me feel. I wasn't hungry for the first time in a long time. I rationalized that plants are less cholorically dense, and I didn't have the skill to meet my choloric requirements (even know I tried very hard to do so). I caught and butchered a rabbit. Very odd experience. I saw pure selfishness, the only reason this animal was dying was because I wanted to use the animal's body. I'm not sure if that's a "bad" or "immoral" perspective to have, especially because you can rationalize it with other words. I was able to see with my own eyes the brutality of my food choices. I was okay with it due to how devastating rabbits are to my country's landscapes, effecting native species.

Get real dude. Have you heard the horrific stories of his cult survivors, the stories of child abuse where children were locked in rooms until they could perform advanced occult techniques, forced to shit in their own pants. Sadghuru spends his time initiating people into yoga techniques, and creating social initiatives to improve the environment.

There's a girl who I was hanging out with for a while, we are very compatible, many of the same interests. She is very insightful, she is so beautiful it's almost intimidating. The last time I saw her, we kissed for ages. We had really "deep" discussions, very open discussions, not about our feelings but mostly speculating about what reality is and how we fit into it. The next day she told me that she didn't want to pursue anything romantically with me. I was wondering, if I built enough momentum within my healthy habits, and became clearer on my life purpose until I see her again, would she want to be with me? We are still quite good friends and talk maybe once every couple weeks. I think I'd want her to be in my life regardless.

Leo, do you have an update? I've started his course "Build a Second Brain", I love it so far.

I've heard it is good to have a plant based probiotic handy when doing cholonics to maintain gut flora.

Do you have any blood test results?
