@Schizophonia apparently the problem with that is that high fat high carb creates a lot of damage. Theoretically the body never had in it's evolution access to hundreds of grams of carbs every day, on top of loads of fat. I mean from the research i've done, if one has a nice fatty meal, even a little bit of sugar creates inflammation and damage. This "Randall cycle" activates and stuff. Which is great for survival, but not great for modern access to food. And depending on your genetics and diet and sleep and human connection etc, if constantly day in day out ur eating lots of carbs and fats, you might clog your arteries, or get cancer, diabetes, or be quite resilient until ur super old, who knows. But some damage is still being done at some level. From my understanding.

Here's my perspective: On a carnivore diet, fat is just as important as protein. A good starting point for the macros is a 1-1 ratio of protein to fat, in grams. So a nice fatty cut of ribeye is usually that. There is nothing wrong with eating a TON of protein on a carnivore diet. The problems appear when high amounts of fats AND high amounts of carbs are all present in the bloodstream at the same time, along with that protein. That's why eating a high carb diet ideally works with as little fat as you can tolerate. Literally just enough to have hormones. I still think it damages you long-term in some ways, and this diet feels like shit for most people. Imagine how it feels to be on a standard clean bodybuilding diet. On a meat-based diet, in the absence of carbs, all of a sudden the cells can breathe freely just the one energy source, the one they've been the most familiar with for millions of years - fat. Although most people go through a tough adaptation period. Some things really do take years to heal on their own, and some things really don't heal on their own and are not fixable with diet. I remember how if felt to not understand that, and think it sounds stupid. But from what i see, for many people it does take 2+, even 4+ years on a strict, high-fat, carnivore/lion diet to heal. But it does happen a lot, i've looked at every good and bad case of the diet i've found in the past year and a half. so, while some health issues might not be fixable through diet alone, I still feel the best on a high fat, carnivore ish diet. I still eat whatever i want, but my intuition more often than not chooses carnivore. My skin is good, my sweat smells nice, my arthritis pain is gone and my poops are fantastic and i struggled with that all my life. Eating enough fat is crucial tho. i am gathering money to work with different carnivore specialists to find out if i have mold disease or chronic inflammatory disease or parasites and shit. i'm excited to work with people such as Judy Cho. I'll link a video here:

I am still young and working through my unique developmental deficiencies and human problems, and i am dedicated to going all the way spiritually. It is such a long process, because the foundation needs to be solid. I have been watching Leo for about 8 years. I found out about spirituality 10 years ago. I'm just getting started. Recently i've spent time with Ayahuasca people. They are so full of self deception it's crazy! If it were not for (mostly) Leo's videos i would've been sucked into cults, gotten into horrible relationships, would've gotten deep into debilitating addiction, or even suicide. As much as i love advanced metaphysics, practical videos are welcome and essential, imo.

Reading trip reports like these always brings me to tears. Thank you for sharing, @Daniel123 !

I have recently interacted with this organization called Inner Mastery, because it was the only way of me to get ahold of Ayahuasca, 5-meo, San Pedro etc. While I identified problems with how some facilitators do their thing, I was wondering if there are any ways of hosting these types of retreats in a healthy way. I am questioning wether or not providing people with psychedelics is a good thing. Many of these people said that they are grateful for the opportunity of taking these psychedelics, and the human connection, but then again that comes from selfishness, does it not? Let's say it's done in countries where it's legal. How can it be done consciously, if at all? (P.s. i have already watched Adeptus' videos. I've talked to people from inside the organization and those interviews do not paint the full picture. I'm interested in a broader perspective moreso than analyzing this particular organization)

I am in Romania now. Should I leave the country asap, or am I just paranoid?

I'm curious, given that you deemed the solipsism video dangerous and took it down, what measures of precaution will you use for this course? I remember you mentioned in the past the possibility of a higher price barrier. Are you considering also something like a questionnaire, to see if someone has a mature enough mind for it, or would that have hidden downsides?

Ok so I re-listened to the 9 stages of ego development part 2 episode for the 10th or 15th time or even more probably, and again, I'm just blown away by how much there is to unpack there. It's the first time I actually understood that I'm at the beginning of the strategist stage. Whereas before, for the last 3 years my ego was just slowly finding it's calm within the storm of confusion of it's Pluralist stage, THINKING it is surely at least Construct-Aware, still shook by the rapid growth and powerful awakenings this beautiful, talented mind has had in the last 5-6 years or so. The initial post I wrote in a frustrated moment, since I started studying Ken Wilber seriously for the first time, and was confused as to why I'm so far behind on the 4 quadrants. So I reached out to Leo to save me, lol which I am very grateful that he didn't respond, because I had this feeling of wasting his time, since he answered these questions so many times, and has explained them so well in his content. So just a quick apology for that, sir. I now understand that part of the deep tiredness I was feeling, was due to my ego constantly reaching for the higher stages, EXACTLY how Leo describes at the begining of The 9 Stages Part 3. Oh, the self-judgement turning into Love. So beautiful. I wasn't lazy, I was going TOO fast! (for MY personal situation) Now I can also see how my ego was doing this for the idea of being Leo's best student, because THEN something something, survival bla bla bla. Where, that doesn't make sense anymore, as Leo is MY MIND. My dream, My Creation, My Love, My Intelligence. And now, Life Purpose truly starts. Only now true balance can even begin to form. Just like in the pandemic, when I realized that I have zero doubt that Reality is Infinity (which was a couple of years AFTER the mystical experience that showed me that, mind you), now I'm seeing the dream clearly for the first time. I'm starting to awaken. For the infinitieth time. This never gets old, lol. @Razard86, I was open to everything you said, and I will rewatch those videos, but this above was what I was asking about. I feel like you didn't meet me where I was at, and just got excited to throw some theory at me, which I already know very well. Anyway, I am grateful for this forum and for Leo, and for my Self, dreaming this fucking incredible dream. How amazing that I Am! I Love You! Gonna go prepare for Ayahuasca now

@Razard86 I saved them in a playlist, I will re-listen to them. Thank you! <3 I will do a solo Ayahuasca trip tonight as well. @Leo Gura I would still love your feedback on this, or if you feel like giving me some guidance for my trip tonight.

@Razard86 thank you <3 I know this, and I connect to this direct experience daily. But I see that God wants to play mind games, that's why it constructs. So within the game of Growth, parallel to Awakening, how do I make sure I am actually growing my spiritual intelligence, besides learning, contemplating, meditating, growing a business and relationships, etc. Or are these even the questions I should be asking?

One thing that comes up is that I just need to trip more. I moved to a different country so I have access to psychedelics. Another is working on the different gaps I have in the quadrants from Integral Theory and the 9 stages. Because even though I say I am studying them, I haven't done it to a high standard yet, if I'm honest, and I am not satisfied with that. But aside from these things, I wanted to get feedback from you @Leo Gura from your current view on this, cause I feel there might be some thing that I'm omitting, that might be obvious to you from the way I'm speaking.

Usually when I have a question, before asking it here I contemplate and find the answer on my own. But with this one I feel I could use some guidance. So from what I understand now, we have two sides to our work - direct consciousness or Awakening, and then we have deconstructing survival, climbing up the ladder of SD, the 9 stages, becoming integral thinkers, right? So I would like to ask you Leo: 1. Could you give some pointers of the main techniques of deconstruction? 2. What are more powerful questions I can be asking myself about this subject? What I've been doing lately aside from studying you, Ken Wilber and the 9 stages is reminding myself multiple times a day of Solipsism, how every perception is created by infinite Love and Intelligence, but I feel I can take things to a more organized & structured next level.

@woohoo123 very nice!
