@Leo Gura I am about to try detox cleanses that he suggests. Have you tried them? What were the inaccuracies that you've found in his books? Just curious..

@Leo Gura What about in less developed, stage Blue countries, where people have this idea engraved into their minds that sex until marriage is wrong. There isn't the same cultural context in every country, right?

@Leo Gura How would you define a conscious relationship? What are the main characteristics of it? I mean, specifically, how does it differ from the relationships that most people have?

@Leo Gura How many hours did you sleep when doing that? And didn't that affect your performance overall?

@Leo Gura Sorry for the little offtopic but I wanted to know your opinion about something. Do you see Art, Programming, and other mediums like those just as tools to develop something? Do you see a value in learning for example web development just for its sake? I mean, isn't what you develop more important than the tools you use? I'm asking that because currently, I work as a web developer in a company, but from childhood (I'm 24 now), I also loved art and played with Graphics software and drew well too (I draw sometimes even today). Now I'm torn between those two domains because if I transition from a developer's position and start learning Art and Graphics, I'd struggle financially, lose a couple of years of coding experience, network of people, etc. I also like what I'm doing right now, but I also want to do much more I think a life lived in coding 8-10 hours a day is a waste... I think you make some bold career transitions in your life.

@Leo Gura Do you think it's important to go to an Art school or university to learn all that? Aren't online courses, books, and seminars and those kinds of things sufficient enough?

@Leo Gura What kind of detox? Is there a specific detox protocol for heavy metal toxicity?

Hey guys, Yesterday I did a Holotropic Breathing session for 2 hours with a group, and the main thing that left me a bit scared was the "demonic" howling that I couldn't control and also the body movements like the ones you see in some videos where people are doing some kind of exorcism and are getting rid of demons or something. What got me a bit scared was that I was the only one experiencing this in 16 people. So, I guess it isn't as common as I thought it was. I got no visuals, even though many people described their visionary trips after the session was over. So, I don't know what to make of this experience, and how should I perceive it. I think it shows that I have many unconscious things to deal with and the sounds coming from my mouth and the strange body movements were just the expressions and a form of release, but I'm not sure about that. Have you experienced something like this?

@Malekakisioannis Actually, from what I've researched and seen, it's quite common. What makes you say that it's not?

@cle103 Yeah, it's pretty scary, but when you kinda accept it and just observe it, and you already have experience of having it, you know that it will pass. What got me curious was how breathing can create such an experience, or what should I expect after lots of those kinds of experiences, that's what I don't know. @Visionary Yeah, it's always like that for me as well. How long were your sessions?

@Leo Gura In what way? I'm trying to see how does that "demon leaving the body" thing works. One thing to mention also is that this week I was doing a juice detox for cleansing purposes (haven't eaten anything for 6 days, just fruit and vegetable juices, was feeling very good), and after the session, I thought I was gonna be more motivated to continue it and other things as well, but I ordered junk food and ate it :)) Also didn't sleep very well. So, that is the sign that the breathing session worked successfully I guess And @Leo Gura I'm planning to do those 2-hour sessions regularly, whenever available, I guess it will shed some of those "demonic" layers and will be beneficial overall. What do you think, have you tried anything like that?

@James123 yeah, I understand that. I would say I was more confused than scared, and I still am. The confusion was the factor that popped up during the session. Like, "why the hell am I doing this". And that's what I'm trying to figure out.

@Leo Gura So does that mean a fundamentalist Christian can actually go in Heaven or Hell after their death? I mean, if what you say is true, and the life as we experience right now is also a dream, and consciousness can dream up whatever it wants, does it mean that those Heaven and Hell will feel as real as life right now?

@StripedGiraffe Yeap, that's the way I see too, and that's why I try to read lots of books on lots of different subjects. But yeah, I can easily imagine a person reading only about his or her favorite perspective and deepening the dogma more and more. So yeah, books can become a tool of a devil, or an angel

@Leo Gura Why do you think that reading books are that important? There are also ideological traps that one can fall into while reading books right? So there is also a danger in reading lots of books without contemplating the nature of ideas and ideology.

@Leo Gura Isn't there a label for a person who isn't entirely introvert nor extrovert? I am kinda in the middle, more towards introversion, but I also like being social and having fun with friends and that kind of stuff. I value solitude very much. I get my batteries charged when I am alone. I guess that's the definition of an introvert. But there is also a social part in me, who likes to do all the social stuff. I guess I have to integrate the two. Are you like that too? Or are you in the far end towards introversion on the spectrum?

Hey guys, What do you think, when you are in a relationship as a man, how much emotional support would you expect from a woman? When your girlfriend tells you that she won't be there for you and she won't be able to think about you when she is uncomfortable, and always wants to be comfortable with you, is that a red flag or not? And also, what do you think a guy should expect from a healthy relationship? If you ask me, both women and men should be interested in well being of each other, and investing their time and resources and emotions towards trying to do that. And if one or the other refuses to do that, it becomes problematic if you ask me. And in general, what do you think is the essence of a healthy relationship? What should a guy do and what should a woman do to accomplish that?

@modmyth Actually the question wasn't coming from my personal relationship. I got interested in what you guys thought of that issue after my friend discussed his problems with me. A more general question that I wanted to know your opinion on was how healthy is it if a man is more emotionally available in a relationship then a woman. And how does it seem from your perspective when a woman explicitly tells his partner that she won't be there for him. (I don't think that she actually meant that though) Do women tend to speak such things when they are upset and emotional, but actually don't mean what they speak of?

How would you deal with huge negative emotions that come with losing someone you loved? If a person very close to you unexpectedly died, what is it that you would try to do in that situation. What would you tell a person who lost someone very precious in order to help him to cope with the emotions? How would you relate to a person who is starting to lose hope to live a life in general, because of his loss? And what are your opinions about death in general? What would you say to a person who just lost someone he loved? Lost of questions... But I'd appreciate your opinions very much.

Thanks, guys @Artsu How do you know that?

@Meta-Man Thanks!

@Roy What I think she meant is that as usual, she should let you know what she is up to. Not 100% of course. It will become problematic that way. It should probably be organic and natural.

@Preety_India Actually, it's not the case with me, my friend has some issues regarding his relationship, so I asked for advice after thinking about his case. Yeah, what you describe would probably be the perfect girlfriend lol So, you think that women should also take responsibility for building a healthy relationship. After all, if both of them don't take that responsibility, what is the point of being in a relationship anyway...

@Kross Dude, you will laugh at this after couple of years. Start building real-life practical habits and skills. You are still so young, please don't waste your time in whining about your grades. Nobody will care about them in real life!!!

@Leo Gura I also thought that making her feel safe by leading her and supporting her emotionally was one of the main things in a relationship. If it't not, then what is? And what is the main difference between attracting girls and keeping a loving relationship?
