Have you questioned this belief? I don't think it is bad that you value health and authentic connection with your spouse, but sexual experiences are super fun and you can do it safely.

You're probably playing victim in many aspects of your life. I'm not trying to offend you by saying that, but there are principles to attracting women, and you might not yet be embodying them. e.g. Leo talks about "distant" guys being irresistible to women, and repulsed by neediness. These are the same principles outlined by David Deida in The Way of the Superior Man; you must be connected to your deepest core, and value it above any relationship. Guys who know what their life is about and are completely aligned with it in their actions get girls. Also I've heard Leo talk about being disconnected from the body and emotions, and not knowing how to physically escalate in a non-creepy way. So this opens up a study of internal and external skill that could greatly impact your success with women. If you're not aligned with your purpose, you're feeling disconnected from yourself, that is totally fine. I have a fuck load of work to do and am not saying I am anywhere near mastering any aspect of myself, but when a girl rejects me I do not blame it on her attraction preferences and other men. I just continue to develop myself. Dude, if you a become totally at ease and dynamic within your body, a master of your emotions, creating amazing art or businesses and a girl still doesn't suck your dick, call me and I will suck your dick.

What do you mean when you say vibrational? Do you refer to how it makes you feel upon eating it? e.g. A burst of energy and joy Its an interesting question, how to gage whether something is "good for you", I wonder if something that makes you feel bad initially could make you feel good overtime.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but this is terrible advice. Please do not attempt to stunt your growth via weight training; the way this happens is by putting too much weight on your spine. Growing upwards is simply what the body does. A friend of my family was on his way to a professional football career, but was pushed too hard in the gym and it totally derailed his career. If you want to lift weights that is fine, but use a sensible weight. The original notion that you must be a certain height is delusional. Again I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, but the idea that you must be a certain height and not another height is completely false, it doesn't really matter what height you are.

@Leo Gura How did you come to the insight of reincarnation?

6'1 isn't really that tall. I am 6'3, I am fine. Nurture the body you have, whichever height it wants to grow.

Thinking for myself, because someone told me to

You could use a penis extension if it is genuinely an issue, like the girl doesn't feel any pleasure or cannot orgasm from your penis. Search "Penis extension, sex toy", and there are heaps to choose from. Edit: Also getting good at fingering and oral would be an obvious step forward

Adeptus' views are (portrayed in his vids about Leo), imo, just reflections of social indoctrination. He highly praises people such as Stephen Hawkins and Neil Degrass Tyson, then demonises Leo for making radical claims. He explicitly states that Leo "cannot" perform mystical healing, and that him stating this in out of line, when he has no idea the extent of Leo's abilities or the legitimacy of his experiences. I had a short interaction with him in the comments, where he said to me that I have opened myself up to radical possibility "perhaps too much". As for his follow-up video, his replies to the comments were dismissive and childish. He says that Spiral Dynamics are "simple ideas" and not "mic-drops", and that he himself could understand them by looking them up on Wikipedia. Anyone who has studied Spiral Dynamics will understand no, you cannot understand it by looking it up on Wikipedia, and the notion that perspectives of those from higher stages are incomprehensible to those of lower stages, are directly applicable to his critique of Leo. I don't like to debate or whine about other people's views, but his whole video was just him being closed-minded, and making fun of teenagers who leave silly comments. I know he is on this forum so I will say: I think his channel is really great for retreat reviews, psychedelic harm reduction, and education on psychedelics.

"Family Values" don't make sense to me personally. I clash with my brother on this all the time; he is really emotionally attached to my immediate and extended family, whereas I basically see them like I don't give any particular importance to who I'm related to, they're just like everyone else to me. I do appreciate growing up in a household that was creative (they are both artists) and having a family that doesn't abuse me. But I totally see that valuing family will and does get in the way of embodying your vision. I have never really found a reason to include family in my vision for my life, other than society telling me that family is super important for some reason. I can 100% relate to being around family when travelling and not being able to fully surrender to the experience. I would say that you can be ruthless to who you "cut out" of your life, and at the same time be courteous to their feelings. Unless the entirety of your life's vision is to "please mommy and daddy", then they don't need to be a big part of your life, that doesn't mean you need to stop calling them or visiting them on their birthdays. You sound really wise and inspiring, I wish you all the best.

- Wheat - potato - cheese - junk food - Soyabean These are potentially problematic; Potatos: Arguably the foundation of Sadghuru's nutrition advice is that potatoes are "negative pranic", which means that they will make you tired; this could be contributing to your lack of energy. Wheat: Also, when gluten enters the bloodstream, this can cause immune dysfunction, as the immune system sees gluten as a foreign invader, and in an attempt to attack it, it will accidentally attack its own tissue (immune dysfunction). Soyabean: This crops, as well as corn and wheat, are genetically modified. When plants are genetically modified, foreign proteins attach to the plants which have shown (in animal studies) to be difficult to digest. Cheese: Dairy can also cause immune dysfunction. If you have Leo's booklist, read the book by Susan Blum in the nutrition section. I've been reading it lately and it is a fantastic introduction to nutrition; it talks about the gut, the liver, stress management, what food to eat, and the structure of the immune system. Good luck

The last time someone posted a thread about urine therapy, it was torn to shreds lol. I have a book on urine therapy sitting in my kindle which I haven't read yet, I think i will get to it eventually.

Susam Blum really resonates with me; her approach is very thorough

Could you elaborate on this?

You can buy accounts with like 11k followers for a few hundred dollars. Someone offered me an account with this amount of followers for like 300AUD, I'm unsure what this would be US, but you can look it up.

- Contemplation: to realise truth. Also just exploring my consciousness, everything about it, trying to understand my experience. - The work of Byron Katie: To manage my emotions, and work through old baggage. I would also use contemplation to just do shadow work. - Traditional hatha yoga: to maintain physical fitness, also to create ease and alignment. - Visualisation and sketching: to leave the room with a clear picture of what I want to create within the world.

@cnfvm how are his practices dangerous.?

I really resonate with his practices. I am dedicating the next few years to explore his practices seriously. What I love about them is the notion of preparing the body for higher energy through physical yoga, and balancing/calming the system to do enlightenment work. I would recommend that you have a really good sleep schedule/waking up early habit if you want to explore his practices. They can take a long time to complete when you are first learning them, and pretty much all of them require an empty stomach to practice.

@LfcCharlie4 Thank you for this I also PM'ed you a few days ago

Is it possible to completely eradicate unhealthy eating, like to just never do it ever again? Because I would love to do this lol, and if anybody has done so I would love to hear your perspective. What I understand from Leo's video on addiction is that there is an existential reason we behave in such ways: the fear of emptiness. I'm reading a book by a functional medical doctor called Susan Blum, who says that not giving your body the right nutrients to support the immune system, can create a specific circumstance within the body that results in craving sugar and salty food. So to connect the two perspectives: - Doing nothing/spiritual work - Giving your body adequate nutrients Is the solution to craving unhealthy food. Could the idea of "achieving perfect health" be detrimental. Because it assumes that there is one, specific circumstance that is perfect health, but health and fitness does vary depending on what one wants from their health e.g. A yogi eats lots of raw food (positive pranic), a bodybuilder will eat high calories with lots of protein, a starving African child will be given meal replacement powder to help them gain weight. I find it difficult to let go of this idea of being in "perfect health", because whenever I binge eat unhealthy food, I feel immense guilt and all that fills my mind is the longing to change back to when I felt good and being on top of my health. I would love for people to share their perspectives on their health journey, and share tips on how to overcome binge eating. Was there a specific moment when you decided "okay, that's it, I'm only eating healthy food from now on" and never went back on it?

@BjarkeT I live with my parents at the moment, so when I move out i will definitely do this. Thankyou. @mandyjw Thank you Mandy <3, I think I will do some journaling tomorrow. I've also got some recipes for traditional Indian deserts from a cookbook by Sadghuru, so I might schedule one of those in as this is a healthier options.

@Leo Gura I saw you were online so I thought I'd @ you
