@Gesundheit Yeah, for sure, I know I have a lot more to learn. Thanks

I'm going to go through my spiritual journey so far, it might be a lengthy read, but bear with me... So I found Leo about 9 months ago but I didn't actually start implementing meditation and spirituality into my life until about 2.5 months ago, after an acid trip. On the come down I said to myself, alright no more bullshit, it's time to start meditating and changing my life for the better. So I started doing 5 minutes of meditation daily, then within a few days started doing 10-15 minutes daily. Then after a few weeks, I began watching Leo's guided exercise on realizing you're God. I got half-way through and I realized I had some weed leftover I could smoke. So I smoked it, meditated for about 10 minutes , then finished the video. By the end of the video, I probably sobbed like 3 times. I FELT being God. Then a few days later, I decided I was ready for DMT. So I got my hands on some, and since tripping, I've done 30+ minutes a day. At this point, meditation comes so natural to me. I am almost always conscience of my breath, and I kind of just "go with the flow", no strict schedule for meditating. I try to get at least one 30+ minute sitting session everyday, and I'll throw in random 10-20 minute sessions if I have time. When I am doing closed-eyed meditating I really do feel auditorily connected to everything. My mood in general is substantially better than 2 months ago. I have a lot less negative emotions and when I do it is much easier to calm myself down. Also haven't smoked since watching the God video, and I feel much less foggy-minded. So I feel great and I feel like I'm doing everything right, but I just don't want to get too cocky or ahead of myself. I don't want to deceive myself. Like it feels like I've made tremendous progress, but Leo always reiterates in his videos that it can and usually does take years to be able to meditate with ease and reach higher states. So I'm sitting here doubting myself like there's no possible way I've made this much progress which in theory should take years, in what, 2 months? Not only that but I'm 16. If adults who do these practices take years for the amount of progress I've made, how could I have done it so quick? I've also shared a lot of this stuff with my peers which definitely contributes to my doubt. Saying things like, "does acid once and thinks he's enlightened". And even with the progress I've made, I of course know I'm nowhere near enlightenment. That's basically all I wanted to say, I'm not like concerned, I sort of just want reassurance I'm on the right path, and for people to point out if there's some way I could be tricking myself. One more thing: I obviously mentioned I've tripped and that I'm 16. Tripping has been nothing but good for me, but I also want to be conscience of if psychs can have any negative impact on my developing brain. I am taking a break from tripping for a few months anyway, but I want to know If I should just hold off for a few years. That was a lot, thanks in advance for reading and for the help TLDR: Could I be deceiving myself into the amount of progress I've made with spirituality, or is it possible I just caught on quick?

Hey! So I have been watching Leo since the beginning of quarantine and I want to start meditating and doing psychedelics. Leo mainly talks about classic psychedelics (shrooms, acid, DMT, and mescaline). So, I was wondering, has anybody consumed morning glory or hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, which contain LSA, as a tool for expanding your consciousness and reaching enlightenment? If so, how effective were they in general and in comparison to classic psychedelics? Thanks!

@Roy @Average Investor Thanks guys. I'm gonna start getting more involved with school programs and clubs and stuff.

@integral That's an interesting approach. I like it, i'm going to try to start making things a game. Thanks a ton!

Let me start by saying I have motivation, but not everywhere in my life. I'm a 15 year old high school student and I have no motivation to do any school work whatsoever. However, I have a shit ton of motivation to paint, play tennis, and most importantly to self-actualize. And I know I have to do the work because if I don't, my parents will ultimately take away my ability to paint/play tennis/meditate. I also don't know what kind of a career I want to pursue and what college I want to go to, let alone if I even want to go to college. I feel like I want to help people, but I don't know how I would. I just feel extremely lost and I want guidance. How did you find the motivation to do things that don't interest you? How do you get your responsibilities done? How did you ultimately find your career/life purpose? I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

@Serotoninluv Wow. Wasn't expecting such an in depth answer, pleasantly surprised. Thanks a ton!

Hey everyone! So about a week ago I found Leo's videos on YouTube. One specific video I watched was how to do self-inquiry. I've started a daily meditation and self-inquiry practice. Yesterday, while doing self-inquiry, I feel as though I had an insight. What I discovered was that awareness is infinite (I'm aware that I'm aware, therefore I'm aware that I'm aware that I'm aware. And this goes on and on infinitely). I was excited by this, so I continued self-inquiry. A few minutes later I had an insight that my being was simply awareness itself, and everyone is actually just awareness itself. These insights seem legitimate to me but I remember Leo saying don't try to describe it with words, which I obviously just did. So my question is, is that really an insight? Thanks in advance!
