Magnanimous

Hey so after adding Maha Mudra to Supreme Kriya Pranayama, I'm already experiencing the Dark Side of Meditation after less than a year of kriya, and I haven't been doing it that consistently either. It's bringing up horrible past memories and crappy feelings but I know it'll all go away one day. I'm just wondering when can I get an idea of when it'll pass?

Happy Birthday @freddyteisen you legend! Congrats on all your achievements like building a business, high level tennis, and your blooming career in IT consulting. I'm genuinely so happy and inspired by you. As a fellow young person I really wanna follow in your footsteps of achieving great things! Best of luck in integrating Leo's teachings!

So Santata Gamana recommends only doing Kriya Supreme Fire after you can comfortably hold breath for at least 1 minutes 30s. I can't do that yet, I can only hold for 1 minute on a good day, but could I just start now? I'm really eager to start what he calls "the strongest energetic practice." Also, I've experimented adding Maha Mudra and Kriya Bow (preparatory exercise for Supreme Fire) to my pranayama, and it makes the pranayama and after effect much more enjoyable, which is the metric Gamana uses to assess the effectiveness of your practice. I think SF would be an amazing upgrade.

I live in Australia and I wanna move to the USA for lifestyle and tripping. But that could be a lot of effort because of loads of logistical, financial, and business issues. In Aus so far as I know we only do mushrooms. Is that enough to realize God? And fulfill spiritual cravings?

Leo I wanna be world class in one charisma skill, probably leadership. I would do the 10,000 hours in set as say foundational/supporting work, because I have a hunch that would contribute massively, but I gotta ask what is the greater charismatic benefit of doing those 10,000 hours? I could probably pull as well as I want with a couple years in the game but nowhere near 10,000.

Hey Leo I've started approaching now. How high quality should a set be to count it towards the 10,000 set mastery mark?

Leo is there a point in spiritual growth where you've taken enough psychedelics and embodied enough you'll never want to take one again, or rarely? Spirituality isn't a passion of mine. Although I see the value of getting enlightened and getting God-Realized at this point I'm only doing it to be happy and not because it's some LP. I'd much rather do other things in life than have a perpetual focus on this. No offense.

Now that you know that Leo, do you enjoy the challenges of life?

Also Leo would you still say it's worth pursuing? Might dedicate a year or two to enlightenment full time in my 30s when I have a lot of cravings handled and before kids.

Leo are you still actively working towards enlightenment or just passively with kriya?

I don't want to do lotus pose because it fucks up your knees. I just sit in a chair. But Om Swami recommends going cross-legged. Any reason to keep sitting in a chair instead of training siddhasana?

"They also wipe their ass with their hand." - Leo Gura

Because he said in his book from his 10,000+ hours of experience sitting cross legged is best for meditation, then sitting in chair. What are your two cents?

Leo on the topic of God just wondering, how deep do you think should the average person go on their psychedelic arc? You talked about on your Valuable Things Take Time Video if we crank out psychedelics in our 30s/40s,50s over a 10 year period we can enjoy a spiritual retirement for the rest of our lives. So how deep do you think the average person should go. It must be different for everyone but what's your general guideline?

How does Kriya Yoga cause a realization of God if it's a bunch of visualization techniques? I know it does but it's very thought heavy.

Leo how far through the book are you right now?

Was wondering how similar daygame was in a day club to night gaming, because dayclubs have all the alcohol. As I move around in my 20s I plan on going to spots with lots of dayclubs like Bali's capital or Vegas. Also what are the differences?

Leo I was just thinking now, what did you wanna be the best in the world at again?

@QVx I'm extremely extroverted. I wanna realize the truth (get enlightened, get God-Realized) but I also want a lot from material life, like marriage, kids, successful purpose, etc. Why does going deeper into truth reduce relationship tolerance? I'm ok with it in the context of my own spouse and children but I'd like to know for the future's sake.

I'm a total beginner when it comes to talking to girls. I can literally count on my hands the amount of times I've flirted with girls. I wanted to get a gf next semester when Uni resumes, like pull a girl from class. Any tips, like when I should talk to a girl, if I should sit at her table, etc? Ofc I'll be going out to bars and clubs to increase the spots where I can get a girl but uni will be my favoured way. If it helps I'm also very handsome and extremely charismatic.

I don't know how to build up from there to ask them on a date though. Like do I start with your aforementioned rapport building, when that's done I soak in some flirting naturally, then overtime I can keep building rapport and flirting steadily until I ask her say to get some food after class? Should I just try sticking to the process of landing an instant date in pickup at uni? Just slower because its in the day and at uni? (Sorry I didn't see your edit while I was writing this)

The creator of this technique called image streaming says if you do it enough, you could increase your IQ by up to 40 points. I'm not buying into that but other people anecdotally talk about benefits to their visualization, intellligence, etc. I don't think any IQ benefits would be that major but I'm sure it would increase. Should I do it in order to gain better performance? Or is life already too full with Life Purpose, Meditation, Yoga, fun, etc?

Leo literally just out of curiosity, do you think the Buddha transcended suffering? You once said if those people existed they are 1 in a billion. So I just naturally thought of the Buddha. Also just to be clear I'm certain I won't transcend suffering.

How do you even meet and get a guy to be a wingman? Is it done online or in person?
