No luckily nothing. They thought I was drunk, and since I didn't harm anyone aside from screaming a lot of love statements at people. They let me sober out, gave me some clothes and sent me home.

That’s exactly how I thought about tripping some years ago. I even planned full 12 hour long trips without leaving my bed room. But then one day the awakening was so unbelievable grandiose that I pissed all over my bedroom and sprinted butt naked out of the house and into the city. Where luckily the police took care of me. So don’t be too sure about how a trip could go. Expect everything, and take precautions

Yo Leo; by the way. when are you going to do another podcast with someone? Many new formats are out there, which would definitely invite you if you would let them. or if that’s to low consciousness for you, why don’t you make a podcast format for yourself. There is a ton of value in exactly this unscripted authentic (self-) dialogue that you might miss out. Many of your followers might take reality to seriously if they only consume your serious scripted content. I know that because it was that way for me. podcasting could be a great round up to your work.

Hey guys, since I'm actively searching for new jobs, and actively following Leo's blog posts. And it seems to be that being good at business, generating money, being good at sales ect. is somewhat directly correlated with the exploitation of ignorant people. Ergo the more ignorant someone is, the easier it is to sell him something. And even if I would not work as a sales person directly, chances are high that being a well paid employee of a company means that the company leaches of the ignorance of their costumers somewhere else. Am I right? To make it even more a abstract: Truth ≠ Money However I want to make money, and don't want to sacrifice truth all together. Of course I don't want to make millions and don't want to become the next Jesus. So there is certainly some leeway in that equation for me. So, do you guys, know of any jobs, that are simultaneously truthful, well-paid and personal developing? My thought was to work in solar sales, because it is well-paying, at least not directly bad to the environment (maybe even good) and certainly needs more development on my side. Curious what you think.

True, but wouldn't this attitude excuse every destructive behaviour in general? Where to draw the line, for whats really necessary for survival, personal survival and my ideas of survival. Isn't everything evil, just a survival strategy? WHERE IS THE LINE?!

@The Renaissance Man I’ve done the life purpose course. No real value bringing idea arose out of that. Just became more clear on my passions and values. But many interest don’t relate to the physical world that easily. For example my interest in psychedelic therapy via psylocibin, ketamine or 5-Meo can really only be done through a proper psychological bachelors degree. Which I stopped after 2 years, because it was so darn boring and out of my interest zone. Of course you can bootstrap a therapy program by yourself and with the internet. But that takes years of practice, learning, volunteering, self experimenting ect. Which doesn’t pay my bills. This is usually how my ideas came to a stop. Also because I cant focus on a single project for long just on my self.

The gaslighting is insane. 1. Bullshit 2. Bullshit 3. Bullshit To think that cramping pigs and cows into holding cells just centimetres larger than their bodies for their entire life, only to get slaughtered without proper anesthesia, and comparing that to accidently eating microbes, which by the way live casually on your skin is nothing short of brain dead. And yes, 95% of all meat is generated with immense amounts of cruelty and shameless exploitation. Don't get me started on other aspects of animal cruelty like raping the cows and pigs to constantly produce off-spring, which they never get to see. Most normal standards for farm animals here in Germany (a so called developed country) are not above the concentration camps of german occupied Poland. Go on and justify that with your logic. Your nonsense needs to stop. I hope you will witness animal cruelty first-hands. It will send ice through your numbed out brain cells. -

Of course. It defeats your whole point. You said its impossible to not kill animals. And if you mean with animals mammalian animals, birds and fish, I say it entirely possible to avoid killing even one animal in an entire lifetime. Its just that your worldview and personal agenda sees killing animals as some kind of necessity. Finding some sneaky arguments, why its ok to do so. Bull-shit. -
I highly, highly doubt that there is a logical route against suicide. If depressed people do one thing all the time, its thinking. Going through all the logical motions of the mind. Never coming to rest. Of course maybe there an obvious believe pattern that can be lifted through conversation therapy. But if one is already planning suicide, I doubt he has just overseen some obvious negative belief. Especially if the depression is already going on for a prolonged time. As is, somehow the case with the above mentioned friend. Just speaking from my experience of dealing with depression and suicidal ideation.

Of course you can avoid killing. Have you ever lived with a self-sustaining homestead? With ones own garden? Maybe some worms or flies are killed, nothing more. -
If he is acutely on the verge of suicide, medications like benzodiazepines or even ketamines are a good acute solution. They bring their fair share of innate problems with them, but in a die or live situation, you have to win time. Also, you can't really talk someone out of suicide. Reasoning and logic are not solution to feeling inherently terrible with ones self. Go find a doctor asap.

Note, that with this line of reasoning, you can say, "truth is possible only with the grace of God", since truth = love. And I'm sure that truth, to varying degrees, is a feature of consciousness. For example the truth that "I am" is not subject to any grace from anything. I'm infinitely sure about that I am. No grace needed. You see why I question this stuff? No one of you guys, has a deep, authentic, in direct experience rooted explanation of Truth = Love.

Regarding @Leo Gura last post about analysing good structure and content in movies and video games. Its good that you study it deeply, but how many games and movies have you actually made Leo? When do you get yourself in the real world and do a grand tripple A movie or game about the nature of consciousness or whatever. We are waiting! On a side note: I watched "Taxi Driver" and "All silent on the western front" recently, which they just happen to become amongst my all time favourite movies ever. Have you guys watched "All silent on the western front"? Especially since we have war again in Europe. It leaves you utterly devastated. Real man cry on this one. Maybe the best anti-war movie ever.

Yes, I'm thinking of the powder. Currently I'm in Portugal where 5-meo, including every other psychedelic substance is descriminalized. I don't really have experiences with shrooms, but around 30-40 LSD trips, which always made me feel agitated afterwards. Thats why I prefer a short-lived 5-meo like experience. But I'm not in a rush.
-
Wow, glad to hear you came back from the deep, end and made it back. Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking about doing a 5-meo-DMT ceremony again. And ask God its possible to get my leg motorics back to work. But I have to wean off of the medications first. By the way, I also think that suffering can be a gift from God, but then I ask myself what is won with this gift, if it leads to suicide. I want to ask that as well.

Hey James, there was a time when I would have said pretty much the same. But listen to this, and tell me the same again. End of last year I got rolled over by a construction truck. I had almost 30 general anaesthetic surgeries, stayed in hospital beds for 6 months, and suffer from life long neuropathic pain and physical disfunction. Over the months of consecutive morphine/fentanyl use in hospital I developed dependency and addiction to said substances, which I only now (14 months later) slowly achieve to taper off. Depression and suicidal fantasies developed alongside as well. Full on suicide attempts included. Thats why I question this Truth = Love paradigm a lot. I'm not taking any word for granted solely, because Leo or some other said so. They say a lot of good and deep stuff, but I need to know for myself. And you really just say the same, but without any deep description or thought process in your statements. So please be welcome to lay out how you just stay out of suffering. Or how deeply you investigated these spiritual truth, if you have, that is.
-
Alright, so you would negate Leo's point "only Truth is equal to Love"? Because put precisely, it would be "Everything is Love" - and Love not as a state of goodness in the human realm. Rather a state of good being in the spiritual realm. Is this how you see it? I'm really testing the definitions here, because I don't want to spread a spiritual insight of some other, without deeply understanding it for myself.
-
Alright so tell me, how does one go about integrated love in life. Of course I have a direct idea of your reasoning, but this kind of love is like a flower on the tree of human affair (suffering, survival, pain, egoic domination ect.). This kind of loves feels like the ice cap of a mountain to be climbed with a lot of human sweat.

Maybe I'm conflating egoic desires with a more existential love. However, if this existential love is better than egoic desires, I wonder why even the so called spiritual people rather choose the fulfilment of survival needs over existential love, which might seem untruthful from an outside perspective. And if the fulfilment of material needs/survival/desires is not contrary to existential love, why is this need for survival sometimes so damaging towards others? Is it true that we have to betray, deceive and exploit our environment to concentrate on existential love? Thats how I experience my world a lot. I first to have to earn money, social status, sex ect. to fully relax into a more unconditional love. And if money, status, sex ect. is not necessary for unconditional love, why does our nervous system stress so much about it? Is our nervous system contrary to unconditional love? And if so, why? Shouldn't our God-given nervous system be in tune with God-given unconditional love? My point is: Why is unconditional love so incompatible with literally EVERYTHING in our human dimension (ego, money, status, sex, will, survival ect.)? And if this is just like the universe functions, why is EVERYTHING = LOVE? My worldview right now would say: Human dimension = Ego, survival, stress, deception, war, will ect. Spiritual dimension = Love, understanding, insight, compassion ect. So just some part of Truth = unconditional love. Where is my train of thought flawed?
