@Leo Gura Hi Leo Here my very honest feedback after following you almost from the very beginning. From my perspective your content is not dangerous at all, for me there is zero harmful content whatsoever. BUT (there is a huge but) I was and am (Thank God) all that time at a very good place in my life (having good health, amazing wife and great life purpose). Thanks to your teachings I could improve and go deeper in all directions: spiritually, creatively, philosophically and can´t be more thankful for that! But my starting position was & is a very solid, healthy one. Besides being 34 I already formed my character and do not follow you from a lower place, but rather seeing you as much much more spiritually developed buddy (from who I can learn a lot) and not as the type of cult guru (like maybe lots of people see you, if you like it or not). At the same time, I can see why some of your teachings can be dangerous for more unstable personalities, or even youngsters that have not mastered the basics of life now. They cannot fully incorporate your teachings and use some small fragments as shortcuts to escape the misery of life. The problem comes from the paradox that you are on the one hand very popular (with over 1Mio subscribers almost mainstream), on the other hand your teachings are in parts mega advanced & deep (contrary to anything mainstream). Is like teaching quantum physics to bunch of kids that can´t do basic math right now. So my suggestion for you is to create simultaneously different levels of content (basic self-help, medium , advanced stuff, and super advanced stuff) and label it very clearly accordantly to the level. For example, the episode ´ Life Advice For Young People ´ is super practical and cant harm anybody for sure, but I can see why other episodes in that direction of ´Life is imaginary´ and ´you don’t really exist´ can be misunderstood. Maybe you should start with huge warning this very advanced episodes.

That is none of your business what I want (sorry my ego speaking here )

After following Leo’s Work all these years I just realized that for some strange reason his work extremely boosted my creativity. It’s funny because his teachings don’t focus that much on creativity and I am still for sure far from being in any sense enlightened whatsoever, but I feel a sense of deep creativity not only in my life purpose / career, but also in any other aspect of life. And I am talking not about the kind of temporary creativity because of some short-term inspiration, but like a state of almost constant creativity & and constant curiosity. It is like seeing the world more through the lens of a child, more magical, full of joy. At the same time as mentioned above I still have this very strong egoic mind. In a nutshell doing the work of personal actualization for me somehow doesn’t materialize in having less of ego, being more ‘enlightened’, but rather it boosted enormously my creativity & general curiosity... I am curious if with more Consciousness comes automatically more Creativity? Is there any direct corelation? Or what is your experience regarding this point?

@Leo Gura You should definitely create a course on creativity as a sequel to the life purpose course

beautifly explained ??

@Leo Gura Isn't Quantum physics at least going in the right direction?

Amazing book about 5-MeO-DMT-experience and more. Here some of my notes / marks: One of the most difficult things about the tryptamine experience is that the more you believe in the veracity of your own experience, the more difficult so-called normal reality becomes. It seems to me that DMT and 5-MeO-DMT—and to a lesser extent mushrooms, peyote, and San Pedro—can open you up to a natural place that is closer to the true center of existence. In contrast, the synthetic analogues that human beings have invented—LSD, DIPT, DOM, ketamine, and so on—can only reveal a crueler mirror-world of that reality—a place where ultimately our human frailties betray us. A friend offered the description that you are “a drop, which returns to the ocean” on 5-MeO-DMT —an excellent metaphor in my opinion. These ideas, which in truth have circulated in Hindu and Buddhist philosophies for centuries, have their modern origin in theories proposed by Aldous Huxley, Peter Russell, and most lately, Bernard Haisch, regarding the idea that our consciousness is essentially a filter of a far greater universal consciousness. The esoteric traditions tell us that creation by subtraction is one of the fundamental truths underlying reality. It may be that we develop more and more advanced consciousness filters through a series of births and rebirths. Perhaps some of us have undergone far more rebirths into this dimension, while others are like children at the beginning of their explorations in this earthly paradise of matter, with a long, discovery-filled path of many reincarnations ahead of them. To use the analogy of a rocket escaping the pull of Earth’s gravity, it is as if DMT is only powerful enough (at regular doses) to send you out of the atmosphere, but then the gravity of your ego pulls you back in. 5-MeO-DMT, on the other hand, is an interstellar vessel—it blasts you out of the atmosphere before you can even put the pipe down, and if you can learn to use it right, it can take you straight back to the Mind of G/d. This pure self-awareness of the “unfiltered” light is our ultimate consciousness, a state of peace and bliss—an awareness that the pure consciousness one experiences is but a concentrated point within a single universal consciousness. The quantum model proposes that the universe exists as an interconnected web of relationships, forever indivisible, since nothing has any meaning by itself!

Death is a fucking joke... really! After watching the first 30 minutes of Leo's latest video I've had a brutal realization, a kind of strong aha-moment. In his video he pretty much deconstructed the myth of science. For some strange reason my mind connected it and deconstructed at the same time the myth of death. Not only logically, but as well it felt deeply right, it was like my deeper intuition was working and not only my mind. So I deeply realized that exactly like the conventional ‘science’ death doesn’t really exist neither. Exactly like the conventional materialistic science death is only a ‘practical’ manipulation of the mind to keep the current mind/ego/lowconsciousness agenda going. Like the Newtonian physics the concept of death is useful in some lets say more primitive ways, but has nothing to do with the Truth. I already see future humans, the evolution of the human mind and the evolution of the collective human consciousness without the concept of death and the paralyzing fear coming from it. I think the future humans will laugh at us for fearing death like we laugh at the stone age people of fearing let's say a flash of lightning. It was also a realization that (as Leo said many times in the past) we as human race really still in the dark ages…

As I said I see the concept of death being the end of the whole game as an ‘man made concept’. And we fear it because we are taught so and because it is useful for the materialistic system, we are living in, nothing more and nothing else. The bigger the Ego the better for the consume culture (the need to identify as much as possible with your ego through physical objects / services etc. makes you the perfekt hamster ) Most of us fear death so much and as consequence of that we live a fear driven paralyzed petty life. There is sure some transformation happening after the physical body dies, but all that negative charge connected with it, is mostly cultural baggage. Here a beautiful quote by Vladimir Nabokov “Life is a great surprise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.”

Thanks for the information! I was looking for 5-MeO-DMT in the German-speaking region Switzerland / Austria / Germany and didn’t find any legal shop whatsoever. I even asked a friend of mine pharmacist about it, and she cried out cause I am looking for illegal drug

Brilliant conversation I see as addition to Leo's trilogy Deconstructing The Myth Of Science:

All my life I see this political nonsense all around the world, but the US presidential debate this year was like worse of all, it felt like hitting the rock bottom culturally. I almost had the feeling that we as civilization are going somehow backwards evolutionary. So, the big question is, shouldn’t be our primary goal as civilization before anything else (politics, economics, prosperity, technology whatsoever) achieving a higher collective consciousness? Isn’t that the very important thing we should strive for? So to speak shouldn’t be that or north star as civilization? I think the real evolution is the evolution of Consciousness and not any other kind of development (for example technologically). A monkey with a nuclear weapon still a monkey, even worse it becomes a very dangerous monkey and still miserable. For example, by choosing presidents or any kind of politicians, representatives whatsoever: why not always looking for the candidate with the highest level of consciousness? Why is that not the very criterion to compare? Or why or educational system is not designed first of all to increase the level / state of consciousness of the students, using all modern methods (meditation, psychedelics etc.)? And right after achieving this primary requirement starting teaching science, math, chemistry, art etc. Why do we measure our prosperity by GDP and not by some kind of Collective Level of Consciousness / LOC? And so on. I guess you´ve got my point and my frustration.

I don’t completely agree with this statement. It sounds like you are saying consciousness work is privilege (luxury) of the few ones or rather that one should straightly follow the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, where only achieving the top of it allows you to pursue self-actualization. I completely disagree with the Maslow's model, not only theoretically but also through the lections I’ve learned in my own life. I mean who says it should be that way? I think the western materialistic civilization pretty much misunderstood the priority of human needs. What I am saying is why not putting this pyramid inside down and start with consciousness work as the very basic need? Everything else is sure important, but we should pursue it as a consequence of a clear high consciousness mind and not the opposite way. Imagine a society where the kids form very early edge are taught consciousness work… These bad environments you are talking of, are most of the time bad not because of the scarcity of resources but because of very low collective consciousness and because we set stupid collective goals and measure our individual worth by idiotic materialistic standards.

I am curious. What did you try exactly? And why did they reject your methods?

Yes, may be Trump was kind of collective ego backlash! Who knows. Let's hope greater good is coming after that. But still... at that moment it feels like regress. Sure, the evolution is not a straight line and Germany is a very good example. The only thing is we can't afford globally mistakes like Germany did.

It is not only by the watching the content, but also doing the work. And even after increasing my consciousness only a bit, it is super obvious that that's the only game in town worth playing .

Don't get me wrong. I agree with you. And we as society shouldn't rush it somehow radically in that (or any other) direction. But at least the goal / the destination should be in the right direction. Let me give you an example: I don't expect after a president like Donald Trump a president like Eckhart Tolle, but why not expecting at least future presidents having advisors for example like Leo? I don't think that is so radical.

I guess that would be achieving the ultimate state / nirvana / enlightenment... I also guess that's the state Leo described when being on a 5-MeO-DMT-trip, or may be a glimpse of it. I would love to try 5-MeO-DMT too, but is still illegal / not available in Europe.

@Leo Gura Yes! Aren't actually Infinity and Nothingness the same thing, or rather the two sides of the same coin? For example a thing / person / planet / whatsoever is always infinite smaller / infinite insignificant in comparison to the Infinity, so the mathematical equation would be always something divided by Infinity equal always Zero?

I followed Jacque Fresco (The Venus Project, resource-based economy) for many years. His work was even inspiration for my master thesis (a high-tech machine / building that provides all needed resources using only renewable energy). But after the years I´ve recognized the problems with this concept and why it did not go mainstream. To put in a nutshell the concept of Jacque Fresco´s resource-based economy is much too radical. For example, he designed concepts of the new cities completely from scratch ignoring all the historical & cultural evolution & heritage. The other big problem is the idea that ´science´ should be in the middle of everything. As we learn lately the mainstream science is far away from the truth. Anyway, the essence of a resource-based economy (an economy based on abundance of resources and not on scarcity) is 100% the right way to go evolutionally. My prediction is that a Universal basic income (as basic human right) is the first step to go and actually inevitable! But an Universal basic income not in a ´communist / socialistic´ way of implementation but rather achieving an Universal basic income through Technology. We should go small steps to the right direction.

We fear death because we are brainwashed this way. I realized death (and btw everything else we fear!) is just a concept created by the current collective level of consciousness (which is still very low) just for the purpose of being ´practical´. Practical in the sense of serving the current materialistic paradigm / system / evolution state / collective consciousness level / matrix (call It as you want). I am 100% sure that one day (may be 1000 years from now… who knows) the concept of death & fear will disappear because the collective consciousness level will be much much higher. So, the humans will see (or rather deeply know / feel) beyond ´physical death´ and enjoy life without any fear whatsoever. Ultimately, we are here to create, to enjoy, to play and not to fear.

absolutely!

With this statement you completly missed the very point of spirituality. It is not about intellectual understanding whatsoever... I don't see any correlation here between higher IQ / understanding and spiritually. Guys like Ramana Maharshi didn't speak at all for years and still consider ones of the most entlightment. But still Leo's intellectual capacity is a huge treasure. Sometimes I have the feeling that his extremely high IQ is a bit of burden spiritually. But in a scientific sense his work is super remarkable!, and his mind / the way he sees the big picture is just mindblowing! Somehow I have the feeling that his biggest achievement is actually bringing spirituality and (real!) truthful science together, what is super important not only for guys pursuing spirituality.

Sure, I get und fully understand what you're saying. Me personally, I am against blindly following and taking too seriously anybody (from Jesus to Hitler), but at the same time learning from everybody (again from Jesus to Hitler). In spiritually I usually just listen to my guts / deeper intuition, because I don't think consciousness is something that I can grasp intellectually, so I fully trust my guts. So to bring again the example Eckhart. I don't really care what he is eating, if he is having sex or not. And don't even always care what he is saying, because it is almost always the same, but is rather the energy field around this guy I resonate with, it is kind of meditation just starring at him and somehow feeling with my guts the higher consciousness around him. Of course there is always the possiblity that it is a trap and hi is just a media product, and 'my guts' are somehow misled,... I can never know until I know ? And again I don't & can't know who between Leo, Alan or Eckhart is 'most enlighten', but I resonate by guts feeling mostly with Eckhart (even if let's say he may be the least developed teacher). May be is just my spirtual level of development right now, may be I will resonate more with Leo in a further more advanced level) And if you allow me a constructive criticism, it is not about the porn Leo loves ? (who doesn't ?) it's rather that you talk sometime to the audience in a slightly arrogant manner, especially if you talk about spiritually.
