Yeah I’ve had no dual experiences, none of what you’re saying is new stuff, especially on this forum, and has been covered in Actualized.org videos for years

How do you guys make claims like this, surely this is some kind of Buddhist/traditionalist dogma. I have no idea whether or not Leo has reached the levels of consciousness he has claimed to, let alone which one is Enlightenment or God, but his trip reports are pretty exotic indeed, and some more significant to him than others. Is your claim that “basic non duality” is the one chief teaching?

A lot of the advice you get on this forum for stuff like this isn’t really based in experience, you can get a lot of good theoretical ideas no doubt. I would recommend dropping 4-5k on like an Owen Cook course or anybody you genuinely resonate with, you can generally find one or two people in mastermind groups like this who are actually successful on social media and can give you grounded advice.

probably not

just two of them really, but they were very close friends of hers and one she chose to move in with

We broke up because eventually she would need to choose between me and her friends. I want to be a healthy, self-employed, artistic person, her friends wanted to throw parties and occasionally do cocaine. As soon as I started spending time with them I knew I wouldn’t be friends with them. My girlfriend noticed this and raised it as an issue, and said her friends were like her family and I was doing the “bare minimum” if I just chose to spend time with her and not her friends. And described me drawing that boundary as ‘abrupt’, and that I don’t know her friends. I really like this description. I’ve spent lots of time with lots of different people, and as soon as I see a red flag from a new person I want to be really good as weeding them from my life. Could this go wrong for me? I am a genuinely accepting and compassionate person, if a homeless person asks for a coffee I will buy one for them, have a conversation with them, listen to them. I often reach out to childhood friends that are struggling with intense addiction (in rehab for heroin, meth addiction) and check how they’re going. I just won’t let these people into my intimate circle.

What about like environmental lawmakers who take logging companies to court?

I appreciate the initial question - basically each issue I have with her friends I reflect in my own behavior in some way. I am noticing my hypocrisy but I don't really know what to do with it. This boundary of "I'm dating you and not your friends" doesn't really work. That's my recent experience at least; it's too big a statement to make to her, in a way its telling her I don't trust her judgment of people. Also to a feminine woman her social circle is literally the most important thing to her in life, and I'm like "meh, I don't like it", it's like kicking over a kids Lego creation. One of my female acquaintances who is married told me after committing to her husband she lost like 3 friends, so perhaps if I stuck it out and just loved her through everything, everything would even out. But like I'm in my 20s, I don't know if that's the best move right now.

Yeah just supplement. Then when iron levels are normal she can just take a supplement less regularly. vitamin c helps with absorption.

Pre heat your pan, flick some water at it. If the water rolls into a ball it is hot enough to be non stick.

I lost my virginity to a professional violinist I met on the street. I invited her to get a drink on the spot and she took me back to her hotel after. I think she had sex with me because she felt like doing so.

Sadghuru is awesome.

Slowly, piece by piece.

I just start working down a worksheet, an each time I get to “who am I without that thought” I feel a big release. Instantly puts me in a good mood, I don’t even need to do a full worksheet. Then I take lsd

I use it to pump my state before lsd

Not necessarily curated but certainly dumbed down yes. Yeah the menstrual cycle is interesting, life is interesting, reality did all this all by itself it’s crazy blah blah blah. when Leo says talking to women is like talking to a child it’s dead on. Bro I wish you could just randomly bring up spiral dynamics, the menstrual cycle, the constitution, but as a rule the place these topics emotionally come from is not what women enjoy responding to.

This community often has insane standards for Leo. His ego development video provided an interesting insight; people who teach complex and profound models of development are themselves heartbroken that they can’t embody their own vision completely. Leo ain’t perfect, he makes some cool videos though.

Once I said “I’m not sorry at all, you’re gorgeous” she melted lol. we had dinner and made out after the next week, we weren’t compatible in the end but she truly was gorgeous

Yeah for sure, makes me want to really want to get dead serious about grounding and harm reduction. Spirituality is such a fucking minefield, it’s crazy that I was doing self inquiry and lsd on a whim as a teenager. I don’t regret it at all but I want to develop clinical understanding of deception, psychology, cults before I “teach” or “facilitate” anybody.

I’m planning to move back with my parents for a year to save money and start a business. my plan is to get a full time job then do 4 hours a day of building a project when I get home, and socialise with my hometown friends on the weekend. Will do one hour of my LP in the morning. I had a tiny bit of success this year doing freelance marketing, and I could see the time spent to amount paid was very worth it. Also love working on my own terms. Was wondering @Leo Gura if you were escaping wags slavery again would you still start with marketing, or were you on time with that trend, or did you want to develop marketing skills to apply to your video game business? People talk about building Ai chat bit businesses, it seems to be worth it to genuinely be on time to a trend.

Nah very dangerous she could bite you

Because I’m in my 20s and have high stamina, want to put away a very large amount of savings for 12 months.

Tonight I coached someone with literal autism and on a government disability pension to cold approach. They spend most of their day in their apartment, alone with only online friends playing games. He had two calibrated, friendly, healthy conversations, made people laugh after hours of me debunking his excuses to not cold approach and demonstrating getting rejected talking to people and coming away unscathed. This guy with a literal intellectual disability is more proactive than some people in this forum thread at building his social life. We listened to an autism specific socialising podcast before going out, then went to a club and had a go at practicing. If you don’t have an intellectual disability and you’re complaining about your social life you are SERIOUSLY taking your ability for granted.
