@nistake Beautiful Image, very classic sort of role playing game kinda feel. Are you becoming a game designer? @Gili Trawangan I really like the drum beat. Though, could groove a bit more. Reminds me sort of Thom york, Atoms for Peace. I think the vocals could be louder and the drums lower. Have you listened to the addiction formula audiobook yet? The vocals remind me of a few things, maybe Placebo? Nice touch on the reverb effect as the song came to a close. The composition is pretty good, how you bring in and out instruments is well done. Sometimes it feels a bit clashy or busy or like the guitar and the vocals are following the same melody line in the same space in the mix. I wonder if EQ is how you could get it to punch more without being too loud. I didn't connected strongly with the lyrics, but enjoy the content. I think the guitar kinda blurs the vocal a little bit. How did you set up the mix? I will listen to it again here later today with headphones. I will listen again and update my post.

Leo speaks some Truth about Sadhguru, but honestly still do it. Build your own experiential repitoire of practices through direct experience. You aren't gonna suffer from trying something that is basic you can only benefit. Jumping into the deep end of Kundalini and Krya is dangerous for beginners in my opinion. Leo, people have to start somewhere. I personally benefitted hugely with Sadghurus basic intro Isha Krya when I was a newbie.. You don't need to become GOD MODE today. Focus on developing joy and wellbeing, and a well functioning mind and nervous system right now. Sadhgurus Isha Krya and Inner engineering is powerful for living a joyful life. I also personally have only dipped my toe into Krya and Kundalini Yoga. Right now my love is for Qigong because it's the strongest overall practice I have discovered for peace, mental health, energy, sleep and I am exploring the development of Siddhis as I learn to control my Qi/ Life force energy... This morning I was crying with so much love ahaha. Love this stretch for success. Too many of us hold unnecessary stress in our necks. This will lower a lot of your anxiety and give you more energy. Though, Qigong is a lot better. I love this practice. Don't let Leo scare you from Sadhguru. However, don't let him be where you stop. Building your own map and understanding of your body's energetic, emotional and physical systems can only be done through deliberate practice and direct experimentation. Enjoy your exploration. Remember this map we are creating is huge. Every teacher has things we can gain from them. Use all the tools at your disposal. Remember that Leo's guidance is just that. One which we obviously all respect but don't let him dogma you out of your own experimentation and exploration of other teachers and teachings. (I know Leo agrees... I mean, don't dogma yourself). - Leo has great Krya books on his reading list which will take you deeper - Also check out the Krya yoga mega thread - remember to try things out for yourself, but also ease your way into the practices. I have had some bad experiences on raising certain energy to fast.

1. Taming your gremlin gets you to practice becoming aware of what is basically your limiting, neurotic inner voice. By noting this, you just simply notice the thought instead of fighting yourself. There is more too it, like feeling into your body and being present in the moment. Good for increasing overall awareness. 2. Guide to rational living is great for developing an understand of the difference between irrational and rational thinking that either create a happy meaningful life where you are able to see life in a way that allows you to achieve you goals, feel good about yourself and not have neurotic demands on reality, or belief about reality that cause you to create useless suffering and struggle. Now that you are used to noting your gremlin, you can also use that technique to notice irrational beliefs and thoughts and begin to replace them with rational thoughts. Honestly, other books like the Six pillars of self esteem also come into play here. each book builds and fleshes out different aspects of a healthy mind. 3. Adversitiy Quotient helps you develop your AQ (like IQ or EQ but with Adversity). I personally found that the lower your AQ the more neurotic and gremlin voices you have and listen to without adequate awareness. So, by developing mindfulness through meditation and a noting technique like taming your gremlin you can begin to notice more often throughout the day when you have irrational thoughts or thoughts that are signs of having a low AQ score. The three books work nicely together towards cracking the nut of thinking rationally, and having an internal set of systems that allow you to live a happy fulfilling life where your thoughts are sane, rational and life affirming and nuanced enough to meet the demands and challenges of life. I can do it much justice here. Really have to read them, do the exercises for yourself I think.

I can't find an over the counter RO that remineralizes. So, I will have to remineralize it myself, which is fine. @mikelyons I would assume so

This is false. The density of books is far denser than videos. Leo admits that himself, why he has the reading list. If you do all those others things while listening to audiobooks you likely aren't absorbing it as fully as you could otherwise. Listening also tends to be more passive, while reading is more active. That is why it is harder to read cuz you gotta use your brain, emotional labour and focus.

@blackchair No? Can you elaborate? How you gonna be a pro athlete if you aren't competing? Bar something like rock climbing.

@Leo Gura Could it's implications be a recontextualizaion of the nature of vision? I think so

@SamC Everything is saturated. Whatever you do put the work in and become an amazing value provider.

@Village I am buying a reverse osmosis machine, and adding in natural minerals. No plastic there. I mean, hey you do you. No one said pure water was good for you. I don't need to slaughter animals for food. I am sure coconut water is good. Are you a Sv3rge fan? ahaha you remind me of him. Also, if I was a vampire... why is it I am built like all other great apes which are herbivores. It's okay we don't see eye to eye of this. I am more athletic than most people I know, and I feel confident in my nutritional background too. I studied food business in school. There are minerals in spring water you know. Humans haven't always lived in houses outside of nature. Running water used to be safe. There is no historical data I know of of humans living off of blood (other than milk... which is mostly a white people thing because most of the world is lactose intolerant)

@mmKay Might want to get a SIBO test. I love good Wraps, Burritos, Miso soup, sushi, veggie pizza and bean salads

@Village I agree you can get water from those things. But getting water from milk and blood is like smoking to get oxygen. Anyway, I think that is just nasty man. Nothing wrong with fresh spring water, or properly filtered water. I am sure sparkling water is fine, but I don't think its better than clean, properly mineralized water. Your gonna get a lot of toxins from milk and especially blood. You are not a vampire, supposed to live of milk (which is basically just blood/puss anyway) and blood.

Might get this one. I have a couple more hours of research before I get one. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07Q47KNMT?psc=1&th=1&linkCode=gs2&tag=spottingsco0d-20

@StarStruck I know right.... I don't think I can get one installed here. The under the counter ones are a bit cheaper. So, it might be the best I can do. I know that my health, my brain and tissues, nervous system etc are worth it. I am pretty sure my water here in Canada is better than much of the US and my area of Canada is especially high quality. Yet, I want to purify and operate at the highest level. That aint gonna happen without an investment. My health it worth it. And if it lasts 5-10 years it is worth it. I have more research to do. The filters are expensive but similar price to buying the water jugs I buy over a year, minus the lifting and lugging and plastic.

@Virtus You do you. Leo's work is about becoming a massive value provider and powerful creator. Nothing wrong with being an athlete, and you can definitely make the works a better place. However, you have to become a competitor and sports are generally a low conscious affair.

@Leo Gura Still in early phase of research and understanding. I have access to a free distiller. For others here is an article on Distilled Vs RO water: https://tapitwater.com/reverse-osmosis-vs-distilled-water/ Reverse osmosis looks the best There seems to be a lot of procurement considerations like price and availability of filters. Here is the KFLOW I am considering to buy next week: https://www.amazon.ca/KFLOW-Drinking-Filter-Purifier-Kitchen/dp/B07H6CSP5Y/ref=pd_di_sccai_3?pd_rd_w=SNsRg&pf_rd_p=e92f388e-b766-4f7f-aac1-ee1d0056e8fb&pf_rd_r=H6AM3TYPNN1NDGMZCVZA&pd_rd_r=18ef844a-77a8-42e8-aa26-164ecc818786&pd_rd_wg=ZmzQy&pd_rd_i=B07H6CSP5Y&th=1 I will need an over the counter one, so far can't find one that remineralizes. I will buy the MAYU minerals and remineralize it myself.

@Kalki Avatar God is Nothing. But, The deepest awakening is infnite Love. Waking up to nothing isn't the deepest. You know, How are you gonna know anything is true? Is Leo right the love is the deepest? How would you know? Are other people right that nothingness is the deepest? How would you know? Do you even know the difference between nothingness or infinite love? What is God's absolute perspective on itself? Its is really nothing? surely the fundamental building blocks are nothingness. But, It's LOVE. ahhaha find out for yourself.

@Jacob Morres Me as well I am looking at this right now reverse osmosis... Might be able to afford it next week... https://www.amazon.ca/KFLOW-Drinking-Filter-Purifier-Kitchen/dp/B07H6CSP5Y/ref=pd_di_sccai_3?pd_rd_w=SNsRg&pf_rd_p=e92f388e-b766-4f7f-aac1-ee1d0056e8fb&pf_rd_r=H6AM3TYPNN1NDGMZCVZA&pd_rd_r=18ef844a-77a8-42e8-aa26-164ecc818786&pd_rd_wg=ZmzQy&pd_rd_i=B07H6CSP5Y&th=1 my only concern is the plastic in the loading bay

@Leo Gura What if you add in your own minerals? I was hoping to distill water then add in minerals. OR, I have been. Doesn't reverse osmosis do the same thing to minerals? removing them? Good to know distilled water pulls shit from plastic. I am still saving up and studying about a good filtration system. I think reverse osmosis makes the most sense. But, I thought distilling the water and remineralizing it would work and be safe.

Definitely worth researching how to adequately filter your water.

@Loving Radiance Hey, why did you link that book ahaha

This is really good. I actually might make a study list here for school and I will put this on it. Its really fun, light. Its a jam for sure! Feedback on Song Bird: @aurum Thanks that is really great feedback. I will note to check my vocal levels, And yeah It's kind of a rough take but I felt like it added some how. I will make more polished work as I go forward. @Hello from Russia That is great feedback. I have been working on this, and I think I can really make them more powerful in the future. Thank you!@Loving Radiance Sweet, thanks so much. And great recommendation I am going to give it a read/ listen. Thanks everyone! Looking forward to seeing other peoples works here too!

I definitely didn't know I was God until 5meo I didn't really resonate with this. I reality this goes pretty deep and you can be more of less God like. Everything IS God. You are God whether you know it or like it or not. But there is a difference between being part of God, and being awakened and God like.

@aurum Thanks for adding that in. That is so amazing isn't it? This structure exists not only in popular music but in films too! wow

For me creating music was one of the most challenging and spiritually rewarding things I ever did. It's cool when people respond to your music, or when you get a new fan, or when you create something new. There are so many elements to it. I've been trying to figure out life. I think the mastery of music and deliberate practice over a life time will be instrinsically rewarding. There are a LOT of good artists out there and I want to make something special. Could take me 3 or 4 more projects, but I believe I can get there. Especially with spiritual purification, deliberate practice and a solid financial and mental health. I don't really care if its 'good' music. I want to be moved, to be shown something new, to learn about reality, to be guided somewhere new through the music. To me Jose Gonzalez and Arcadefire did that for me. Lots of other bands too of course in their own way. It's an amazing thing music exists.

@Gili Trawangan Audio book I shard in this thread This being said, it doesn't replace mastery or guaranty success. There is a lot of elements that go into a successful music career. It will at least help you make music you love which it has for me! I am still on my early mastery process, in music, spirituality, business, spirituality and life in general. Give it time.
