  1. Keep cracking, it is indeed a big one. My recommendation would be to go more meta. From reading your responses, you’re still focusing too much on content. The content is irrelevant because it’s all still your experience happening in you. Space itself is consciousness.
  2. Yes there is some shanigans with Liver King. And undoubtedly there can be bias there for the sake of business interests. Especially when you build a whole identity around it, e.g “I’m a carnivore”. But I also think Paul is not that nefarious. I think his intentions are mostly in the right place. He has shown some willingness to adjust his diet with evidence (going from strict carnivore to animal-based). He just has a lot of bias. The the thing with Paul is that he tried vegan and it legitimately didn’t seem to work for him. And that negative experience lead him to really question the narratives around plant foods. Some of his conclusions I don’t find that bad, like: Anti-nutrients are real and need to be accounted for, especially if you have a known sensitivity Lower bioavailabilty for nutrients in plants is real and needs to be accounted for Certain micronutrients missing completely from plant foods is real and needs to be accounted for Fat and salt are not the monsters we once believed them to be. Mainstream science is sometimes reductionistic, misses root causes or is even corrupt The standard american diet is garbage I’d even grant him that (maybe) there is a historical, evolutionary precedent for humans to eat meat over plants. But this debate over LDL levels and atherosclerosis is a big deal. With cardiovascular disease being the number one killer in the world, you have to get this piece right. Otherwise your diet is highly suspect. I think if he can prove his ideas around atherosclerosis, then he has a legitimate case for a red meat heavy, animal-based diet. But that’s a big IF. He needs to get some reputable, third-party group to do research and cosign on his specific ideas. It’s not enough for him to just interpret the existing literature that is out there, he needs his own studies if he’s that confident. Paul, if you’re reading this, I’m rooting for you. If it turns out that eating meat, fruit and dairy is nutritionally optimal, I’ll be the first one doing cartwheels in the streets. I’d maybe consider even doing it under medical supervision. But to make it a mainstream movement, you gotta prove it. Most people like consensus science and are not going to risk their lives for a pet theory. Nor should they.
  3. @Tech36363 Search the forum, I made a post talking about my experience practicing sungazing for several months. To sum it up, I think the benefits people claim are largely bullshit or at the very least highly exaggerated. But I also thought the knee jerk response a lot of people have that “you’ll burn your eyes out” or hurt yourself in some way was wrong. I noticed no decline in my health in anyway. At best, I’d say it’s relaxing and gets you outside. Maybe can help with more esoteric energy healing. You do appreciating the sun a little more while doing it. You can start to figure out the patterns for how it moves over the months and generally feel more connected to it. Try if you like, you might have a different experience. But make sure you only do it when the sun is low enough! Golden hour only. And start slow to see how your body reacts. If it hurts to look at the sun or you find yourself blinking a lot, the sun is too high. It should be totally relaxing.
  4. Peter Attia seems to agree with this: Takes a couple minutes but they get there from the timestamp. Saladino of course does not buy the ApoB theory. His whole thing seems to be that atherosclerosis only involves LDL due to insulin resistance and damage to the endothelium. Then he takes it a step further by arguing that red meat is necessary to thrive due to high micronutrient content, high bioavailability, the evolutionary precedent (humans historically ate meat) and the lack of anti-nutrients. There might be some truth there, but my guess is there’s not as much as he argues. We could probably get around all those issues on a plant-based diet and some basic supplements if we wanted to.
  5. What do you make of these studies, which seem to link damage from red meat mostly to processed meat? https://www.healthdata.org/research-article/health-effects-associated-consumption-unprocessed-red-meat-burden-proof-study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2885952/ It seems to me that these debates are are just way too binary and simplistic. Red meat is either “good” or “bad” for you. My thinking is that we need to consider more variables. Is it processed meat? How much meat? What’s the rest of your diet look like? Do you regularly exercise and are otherwise healthy? Etc
  6. ^ Same guy as above. Emphasis on Green wanting to be and see change in the world.
  7. Reggae artist talking to the owner of a local food operation. Lots of good vibes and hugs. Keywords: Community, local food, back to the land
  8. When this whole Twitter situation started, I didn't know much about it. I assumed Twitter would maybe have some moderation problems due to Elon's "free speech" stance, which could lead to further problems down the road. But if these numbers TYT is reporting are accurate, this is much, much worse for Twitter than some lax moderation. You are not going to hire back 88% of your employees any time fast and without serious cost. Who will even properly train them? The people who did their jobs won't even be there anymore. Perhaps Musk can still turn this around. He has accomplished some pretty incredible things in business that seemed impossible. But things are not looking good at the moment. We will have to continue watching.
  9. If a country is under attack, it’s likely that they will jump at any excuse for people to come to their aid. So I don’t see reasonable evidence for Ukraine to purposefully launch an attack against Poland. That does seem highly Machiavellian and conspiratorial. But it also does not surprise me that Zelensky immediately blamed Russia. That is his bias. He is fighting a war against Russia. And if Russia did attack Poland, that could be good for his efforts and Ukraine as it would likely rally NATO.
  10. My concern in this case is that the basic facts aren’t even fully known yet. This just happened. Give time for the media to report. We’ll have a better idea soon enough.
  11. Stay cool. Information is still being reported on this. It’s not clear yet if this was a deliberate act of war against Poland. My guess would be that it wasn’t. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-zelenskyy-kherson-9202c032cf3a5c22761ee71b52ff9d52
  12. @Hatfort Yes decent results for Dems overall. Still two big races in particular to be called, senate in Georgia and governor in Arizona. If they both go Blue that will be a big deal.
  13. No he did not. Watch spreading misinformation. If you rewatch that video, you can clearly see him state that sprinkling in 10% bullshit was just a hypothetical. He did not promise he was going to do anything.
  14. This is a teaching environment. If you are not here to learn from Leo, why are you here? You wouldn’t walk into a Calculus class, start talking about how Calculus couldn’t be true and how the teacher is making up narcissist fantasies and expect them not to eventually kick you out. It’s disruptive, annoying and a waste of time for everyone. That should not fly in even a university setting, let alone when trying to discuss some of the most advanced spiritual / metaphysical topics humans have ever pondered. If don’t want to learn Calculus, don’t come to Calculus class. And if you are open to learning Calculus, then you do have to assume the teacher may know more than you most of the time. And if you do have a fundamental disagreement, you should seriously do your homework instead of just jumping to a conclusion. If you still disagree at that point, then you leave. Of course there is no government approved accreditation Leo can provide for teaching this kind of work. That’s the reality of teaching spiritual work right now. It’s outside the mainstream. So you’ve basically just have to go on Leo’s track record and your own direct experience to judge whether he is a teacher worth learning from. He could be wrong, but I think he has earned some openmindedness.
  15. What distinguishes Alien Infinity from “traditional” infinity? Did your awakening specifically include the word “Alien”, or are you pulling that word from Leo’s lexicon?
  16. I don’t think so. Not really his style. I’m pretty sure he has become conscious of something radical. Openmindedness is required here, which some users here are not showing. I will be buying the course when he releases it. But even with radical openmindedness everything must still be verified by you. If what Leo is saying is true, then there is a huge potential trap of people just taking this on as a belief. That is not going to cut it. Either become directly conscious of what he is saying or forget it. It will do you way more harm than good to just take this as conceptual ideology without real understanding
  17. I am open minded to what you are saying. And I will continue to learn. But I don’t know what to make of what you’re saying at this point. Most of the insights you’ve shared in the past I’ve been able to verify from my own contemplations / awakenings. But this feels like new ground. Nothing I’ve experienced has shown me anything like this.
  18. Do you have a job? That would be an easy first step to getting some basic autonomy. Get a decent job, afford to pay your own bills and move out. You might be a wage slave but at least you won't be living at home. From there, you could start working on exploring a deeper life purpose and your dating life.
  19. Can you expand on this? It sounds like you're saying that a finite thing like Alien Hyperintelligence is dreaming up Absolute Infinity / God. That doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't Alien Hyperintelligence have to be a subset of Absolute Infinity?
  20. @Twinstar Awesome job. We're not necessarily chasing crazy visuals in this work. It's more about the insights themselves, which you got.
  21. Good thread idea. It’s important to make a distinction here between UNDERSTANDING and AGREEING. I can understand without necessarily agreeing, or agreeing with some portion of what was said. Which is what is needed for healthy political dialogue.
