There are no "unconscious activities". There are only activities, which you can do consciously or not.

I've now been lifting intensely for the past 3 weeks, following a good and healthy diet. After I've gotten into the groove a little and focusing solely on musclebuilding and pretty much ignoring cardio and stretching, but I've been lifting so furiously that it's been cardio as well because of the short resting time. I'll now be stretching more regularly throughout the day and doing more cardio as well. I did a 40-minute rope skipping session today which absolutely drenched me with sweat and endorphins, felt like being on MDMA. Followed by stretching while listening to Mike Chang talk about the importance of it. Stretching is not only to let go of tension to prevent injury. It connects with your whole emotional center, where stress and unconscious habits get stored. Stretching lets all the tension go and detoxes your mind and body. Mike talked about not stretching to uncomfortable levels which I'm prone to do from time to time, thinking it will yield "better results" when it has nothing to do with results at all. It should feel comfortable and relaxing with the occasional push to a 6-7 on the pain scale, 5 being comfortable. I'm eating at about 100-300 calorie surplus currently. With the intention of slowly dialing it down while keeping the protein intake high, as Jeff from Athlean-X suggests. I wanted to start at a surplus to have enough energy with the workouts I'm doing, and it's felt great so far. I don't like the idea of a "bulk" and a "cut", and believe you can easily build muscle while at maintenance calories as long as the protein intake is high enough. I've also been tracking all my macros and using an app to log everything down. This is one thing I wish I had done in my earlier weight-lifting days. You're not blindly guessing what's working and what's not. One thing is I eat a lot of natural peanut butter because of how easy it is to consume, filled with protein and calories. But this has lead me to eat over 100g of fat per day easily which is the limit. This is fine since my carbs are usually way below what's recommended. I'm actually surprised how hard it is to hit 400g of carbs a day and feel like it's totally overshooting it. And I'm not afraid of fats either, I really like them as an energy source, for hormone balance and brain function. So let's see where this all goes.

Actually, two people died this week, one vaccinated and one not. Both were tourists though. Also a fun fact, even though 90% of the country is vaccinated, almost everyone still wears a mask out and about.

One of the most underrated things in life I've come to find is taking a 10-minute walk after a big meal. I've gotten so used to sit down after meals, and having no energy for the next two hours. I'm on a "semi"-"bulk" at the moment, so I'm eating a little more calories and a lot more protein. Taking a brisk walk has changed my energy levels completely after a meal.

Heroin is amateur stuff! What you really want is crystal meth.

@lxlichael Glad you enjoy it. Just had an LSD trip two days ago which was a superb journey. Been diving a little more into psychedelics after taking a short break. I tried 2C-B last month and did a little ketamine as well. The 2cb was extremely pleasant but lacked in potency compared to LSD, yet very valuable nonetheless. I've also been contemplating diving into DMT and 5-MeO soon, but nothing is set in stone for now. I was suggested to watch this performance by a friend on the trip, which completely jaw-dropped me. I think this ended up being my favorite musical experience in my life and is one of the closest achievements to absolute perfection I've ever seen.

I LOVE ?

This is far from fake, and it's very much possible to sustain with a healthy diet and moderate exercise. But I agree it's all ego nonetheless.

Like making a snowball out of water.

The silliest logical masturbation I've ever witnessed on infinity. "Some infinities are bigger than others", just to increase the silliness as if it wasn't enough already. ?

I have a funny feeling that you already know the answer.

I've had some trouble sometimes falling asleep after trips. What helped a lot was just to accept that you don't have to sleep. Stay up for as long as you must without "trying" to fall asleep, and before you know it you'll be dead on the bed.

That is because Martin Ball "gets it". I don't really see what people are on about here. To me, Leo looked calm and collected after the first 15 minutes. This conversation couldn't have gone better in my mind, and Charlie seemed happy with all the answers. And one expects a response like that from people outside actualized, that's just how it is when a mind has been programmed for survival. @Leo Gura I'd love to see an Aubrey Marcus interview, I really think it would flow well.

@Carl-Richard I was going to post this as well, here's another one.

One meal felt too packed for me, especially when I included a lot of protein. Two meals feels perfect in a 20-4 fasting window.

A lot of his art shows mushrooms and the dissolution of the human mind, as well as awareness depicted with a bunch of eyes.

I hope you realize the foolishness of such a question in the future. Just appreciate what is being created, being enlightened doesn't make you automatically better at art.

Well to start off, it tells you that you're a human taking a shower...to keep you in the illusion.

I noticed this when I was starting cold showers too, especially when I had a strict routine where I "had to" take a cold shower every time. Now I take them only if I feel like it, which is 90% of the time. Works way better for me but you also have to be disciplined enough to not start skipping them completely.

Personally, I find him way too orange to see how this could work.

Amazing!

If you guys have a hard time accepting Leo as he is, perhaps it's time to move on to another teacher. To me, it seems like sensitive green not being able to handle Leo's teaching, which don't seem that harsh at all. And I don't mean that it a negative way either. When I watch Matt Kahn I get more in touch with that sensitive side, but when I watch Leo, I expect brutal truth told as bluntly as possible. I'd also get impatient responding to questions being asked for the 1000th time. This forum has gone full circle about 4 times and almost every question has been answered that's being asked. It's kind of amazing how he's still sticking around here and responding, to me that shows how much he cares.
