@Leo Gura I remember you working on this course a long time ago. Like years ago. Did you make changes to its content in these last years due to your own development and new life experiences? Or the Awakenings that you've had after your initial mentionings of this course have nothing to do with it's content?

Will the course be as long as LP course in length? Or shorter?

https://www.amazon.com/Post-Truth-World-Politics-Polarization-Transcending/dp/1645473554 This should be good. Comes on July 2nd.

@Leo Gura In my mind it all interconnects, like for example, health and fitness not only for the sake of having a good body but also to perform better in other areas of life. Also, something like reading books helps me to expand my understanding of how the world works, and pushes me in some directions, to get at least theoretical guidance from reading more or less meaningful books (maybe from your book list). But yes, I'd agree that one needs to have something higher, and health, books, spiritual practices, along with all the other stuff you talk about for example, can be used for deepening that thing. I don't have that at the moment, and that's why all the things I do seems shallow. Not all the time, but sometimes I think why do all these. Without a higher meaningful framework, it's easy to lose day-to-day meaning, at least for me.

@Leo Gura Would you consider working on health and fitness, spirituality, or maybe just reading books and education as mediums to create meaning? Or do you mean creative work with that here?

@Leo Gura By contemplating reality, you mean that you contemplate the metaphysics or include all the human stuff there too, such as emotions, fears, stuff like that. I'm trying to integrate this into my life as well, but mostly what I'm interested in contemplating is directly linked to my survival, like emotions, traumas, planning the future, etc. I guess that depends on where you are in life, and how much contemplation and development have you done so far.

@Leo Gura The difficulty is that work, survival, being human, and social life take so much energy, time, and resources that existential truth-seeking becomes hard, or sometimes irrelevant, or even counter-productive. I guess if one really values truth, it can be done by designing survival in a way that allows existential truth-seeking easier than most humans can. What actions would you consider taking during the truth-seeking phase? I'd guess, daily contemplation on different aspects of reality, maybe some meditation and yoga practices, occasional psychedelics, and occasional long retreats. How and in what form would you fit truth-seeking into your schedule, if you had a full-time job at the office + commute, went to the gym, had a social life, and all that stuff?

Even in that dream, God could awaken to itself, right? And if it could, then it would realize that it's dreaming, so Christianity becomes relative again, isnt it?

@Leo Gura Will your Awakening course still revolve around psychedelic use? And if so, will you be talking about those dangers?

@Javfly33 How much time do you think is necessary to more or less achieve what you describe? Like a year or two? Also, when I do asanas, my mind is very distracted. As I understand, awareness is critical during the process. Am I right?

@Leo Gura Please do it, it's always refreshing to challenge our fantasies about how things work. You plan to do a separate episode on that, right?

@Leo Gura How did he do that? Was he born with some of that?

@Leo Gura Okay, thanks

@Leo Gura You said in your traps video that meditation can only be effective if you do it for a long periods of time in a retreat kind of a setting. Would you also say that regarding Kriya? Or you consider it more powerful than regular meditation?

@Leo Gura Where did you learn it from?

This is an animation I made couple months ago, and it has AI voice. It's also a pleasant and unique one, but still, AI. https://elevenlabs.io/ You can generate quite human like voices with elevenlabs voice AI

I think he also uses AI voice-over.

What should I, as a basic programmer making a living with coding, do? And there are so many just like me

@Leo Gura Did you restart your Kriya routine? Do you still find it useful after all your awakenings?

@TheSelf Can you tell us what you did in more details?

@Leo Gura Do you still use psychedelics? Or you're also taking a break from that

@Leo Gura How can you handle that emotionally? And in general, what are your ways to accept the fact that you've been stressing, that looks matter more than you thought, but you don't like aspects of yourself.

@Leo Gura Why? In what way

@Ayham Oh thanks, this is helpful

Hey guys, I have one question for those who practice the Supreme Fire technique from Santata Gamana's book. He says first to inhale, and then do the abdominal lock (Uddiyana bandha). But as I looked up online, doing proper Uddiyana bandha requires first exhaling all the air (lungs should be empty), and then doing the lock. But here he asks us to inhale and move the energy up first, and then lock the belly. How do you guys do it?
