@Leo Gura Oh sorry, sure, I was asking about living together. Basically I wanted to know what you think about marriage. I get a sense that you think it's not workable.

@Leo Gura If you think that living alone is bound to stagnate, what are your thoughts on marriage?

@Leo Gura Hey man, speaking of SIBO, did you manage to cure yours? I think the last time you posted about that, you were trying a carnivore diet. Did it work? What's your regime now. Just curious, cause I have some autoimmune issues as well and trying to research/implement some of the dietary and fitness advice. Your updates were useful for that.

@Leo Gura Increasing that number is a very direct way. But don't you think it's also a matter of working and integrating a shadow? I mean, psychological and spiritual work.

@Leo Gura What do you think are the best ways of dropping that?

Hey @Leo Gura I just rewatched your older video, this one: And I wanted to ask you, how would you compare that state to a state you have now? Zen master told you that you saw a few hairs on ox's tail, was he right? How would you comment on that experience after having hundreds of Awakenings? And is it possible to recreate what you describe in that video using low doses of psychedelics?

@Leo Gura Is it rare to have that kind of experience after 10 days of meditation? I think you did more meditation retreats after that, could you recreate it easily? Just trying to get a sense of what is possible on average with hardcore 10 day meditation retreat.

@Leo Gura Hey Leo, wanted to ask you a question kinda similar to this thread. For the last couple of years, I've been working and developing highly demanded web-development skills. I'm 27 years old and I don't have my own house, paying rent at the moment and when I calculated my monthly expenses, it's about 1700$ (I live alone but also I'm providing for my family). I was thinking of maybe collecting 100k$ and buying a house in 2-3 years. But what you said above got me thinking. My long-term plan is to have my own income source (I don't know how yet) and to figure out how and try some things, I need some free time, months maybe. The good thing about web development is that I can do freelance jobs even part-time, or work for a couple of months, and then take a couple of months off. Making 5-6k$ each month, and considering that I only need ~1700$ to support myself and my family, I am able to take time off and even travel a bit with my savings and explore spirituality a bit as well. But if I decide to buy a house, that won't be possible yet. So basically my question is, what do you think, is it a good idea to buy a house in late 20s?

@Siedah Thanks I'll check it out ?

Hey guys, I've been wanting to try out psychedelics for quite a while now, but I want to do my first trip in a safe environment, and since it's really hard to get them locally, I thought of attending a psychedelic retreat. After googling for a while, I found some, but I wanted to know your experiences with them if any of you have had it. There are plenty of psilocybin retreats in Amsterdam for example. Could you recommend something?

@Leo Gura But you had prior experiences with stronger psychedelics like 5-Meo, right? So you are saying that it's also possible without prior breakthrough experiences on other psychedelics?

@Leo Gura I think people are demonizing excessive and compulsive forms of it, which can become problematic for real. But the same goes with everything basically. We don't want to be eating excessively and compulsively either and need to learn how to eat in healthy ways, but there is no community with the name of NoFood lol. But there is intermittent fasting protocol, detox protocols, diets, and stuff, that helps people to learn how to eat relatively correctly. I think people also need to know that it might get problematic if your whole life is consumed by fapping and porn (and for many it is), and NoFap is an attempt at telling that in my opinion.

@patricknotstar Hey. How do you manage to lucid dream that often? What techniques do you use and how long have you been doing it?

I think he also mentioned that he is working of a course that might come out this year.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Leap+Fitness+Group&hl=en&gl=US Check these apps, and choose the one you like. They have solid exercises routines, and what's awesome is that it is structured and tells you exactly what, when and how much to do, so you have to just do it on a daily basis. I was having paralysis by analysis when deciding what exercise routine to choose (at home, without a gym trainer), and those apps saved me tons of time.

@Happy Lizard Yes, those are fine, but that shouldn't be your only source. But if you do a couple of Udemy courses, and build a portfolio, then apply as an intern or junior web dev (depending on the skills you learn from Udemy), I think you'll land a job. Most important is to actually do stuff independently, not depending on Udemy or any other courses. Make your own projects, as portfolio projects. That is the best way to learn except for maybe landing an actual job and working in a team with actual projects. That might be true for people who don't want to invest in learning skills and building a solid portfolio. A company must see the value in you, that you are a valuable asset to make an investment in you. Show them that

@Happy Lizard What makes you think that? I've been working as a Front-End Developer for the last 4 years, it's the 3rd company that I'm in right now, and as far as I'm aware, job opportunities are growing year by year, and there is a shortage of quality developers on the global market. I'm pretty sure you can land a well-paying job once you get enough experience in the field. You can get that experience working as an intern or a junior developer in some company. Also, most companies adopted a remote-working style after Covid, so you'll probably have an option to work remotely from home as well. The most important skills you need to have to succeed in this are: Understanding core concepts of programming and software development in general Having a solid big picture grasp of your language and framework, having good technical knowledge in it Problem-solving skills (maybe you should prioritize this above all else). Being proficient at solving Leetcode style problems, because solving problems is basically what we do as software developers Communication skills. Because you'll have to work in a team environment, and you'll have to deal with lots of egos lol There are other things as well, but if you focus on these, I'm sure you'll succeed in this field without worrying about not having job options.

Just do your own research. Have an attitude of independent researcher, Google is the only tool you need basically. You can change your life by learning how to Google correctly.

Hey guys, What do you plan to work on the following year? What are the goals you have or the habits that you want to install? For me, I wanna explore my dreams more, and become lucid in them more and more frequently. Also, I wanna develop my technical skills even more, to monetize them even better. Cleaning up my diet and working at my fitness is also what I want to do. What about you?

That is an Integral Stage which can be accessed independent of your Waking Up State (what you refer to as Enlightenment). Also, you can be awoke at any Stage. But raising your State helps with raising your Stage and vice-versa.

@Opo It caused very bad constipation, basically taking a crap was super painful each time, for 3 days straight and I had to eat some veggies, it got fixed the next day. @Michael569 Thanks, man. Yeah, I've been trying to clean the diet for the whole year but I had cheat days weekly, and some weeks I broke the diet entirely, so it was like a yo-yo diet, which didn't affect psoriasis at all. I guess I have to just bite the bullet and cut the junk out entirely. Maybe starting the ones you listed, junk, sugar, takeaways, pizzas and that kind of things, and maybe nightshades the next.

Hey guys, I've been having psoriasis for multiple years and haven't found a solution for It yet. Do any of you guys have it too? And if so, what solutions have you tried? I tried 5 days of water fasting, 0 effects. Maybe 14+ days will do something but it's so hard to do that. Also, I tried the carnivore diet for 2 weeks but it caused some bad digestive issues and I had to stop. 0 effects in that 2 weeks. I tried juice detox for 2 weeks but didn't help. I am not consistent with a healthy diet, maybe that's why and it needs months of a super clean healthy diet for it to reduce.

I think he has been stuck in stage Blue mentality, but most of what he talks about are kinda useful for many of us. I mean the kind of discipline that he provokes many of us are lacking in our lives. But living like that your whole life, I don't know how healthy that would be. I don't think that Goggins will find inner peace the way he approaches life.

Oh man, he is so good How long would a noobie tech nerd require to get to that level of charm and game? I guess never, lol

@Leo Gura What are the greatest costs of having a relationship for you? And isn't it sometimes the case that benefits outweigh the costs?
