Nice! It will certainly be more useful for brainstorming spiritual topics than vanila model. It resoponded to my test question well: https://chatgpt.com/share/670db1df-e618-800e-a98d-ca1bd674c3ee

@pausona Are you able to summarize what kind of advice do you seek? What is it that you want to change?

@Leo Gura It's uncanny! They must have based the coyote on you! Good Lord! This little scene encapsulates so much of your energy. Big "aha" moment for me... Leo = spiritual coyote

Extraterrestrials From the two, definetly your own insights. Text combined with a video or pics, even better.

Checking your blog is a habit for me. Over time, it helped me broaden my horizons, in many ways. I appreciate the diversity of insights and cool info. I read it less nowadays, because I'm not currently focused on geopolitics, terrorists, and such.

It definitely feels like that for me. But I avoid thinking about it in this way. Because you CAN make it fun for yourself. Relationships may not be the best thing you can imagine, but you sure can make them feel worse by resisting and dwelling on the impurity. In other words, I do relate, but I am also mindful of how I am creating the experience.

Have you done anything to atract them? Like the CE5 or anything of that kind? Have you had any closer UFO/ET encounters? And to what degree are you into this topic? I recently started learning about the phenomena but haven't experienced anything physical (I had one weird dream). So I would appreciate your response on that.

To anyone that wants to understand Musk's perspective. An alternative to watching hours of him talk: Elon Musk's biography by Walter Isacsoon. It shows Musk's perspective quite well without sugarcoating anything. Interviews are useful for observing a person directly, the way they talk and act in general. But if you want focused and detailed account of the relevant events that shaped Elon as a person, this is the place to go.

@Something Funny If you care about understanding Musk, I highly recommend his latest biography by Walter Isacsoon. It's quite detailed and long but not boring. Elon's life haven't been boring. I think Walter likes Elon, but he doesn't sugarcoat anything, and clearly disagrees with him on many things. (I watched interviews with W.I.) From the book you can learn about Musk's vision and shadows, and how do they show in his professional and personal life.

Bashar Or any other channeler, though I feel like Bashar is the most certain to deliver something worthwhile. Not sure how that would work, but I would love to see Leo talk to him because I feel like people underutilize the potential of channelers by asking generic, unchallenging, and unuseful questions. That would be a chance to bridge New Age and serious philosophy. Bashar is usually open to discussing anything, and is very non-judgmental, although keeps strict opinions on some topics. Do you think that's realistic? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura I understand that you want to have those conversation hosted by someone else? I am curious: Why not invite someone to talk on your channel?

Of course, we are interested! Putting your ideas in the context of live conversation helps to ground them properly in the mind. TOE interviews were amazing for that. And I believe J.P. could prove a very good host as well. For me, it would be double fun, because I read and watched J.P. a lot before discovering your content, and moved on since. It would be exciting to see how Peterson would relate to your perspective.

When I was 10, I had a surgery with narcosis. It was like you describe it. But I do remember the feeling of losing my consciousness a minute after administration. It was like falling asleep in acceleration.

@Something Funny I get it. When I lived in an apartment, I felt the same. When I wanted to walk barefoot in the forest, I would go out in shoes, and than take them off. But it really depends on whether you care about what your neighbors think.

@Something Funny You will get some attention and looks. Some people will make comments, mostly jokingly. It quickly gets tiring, so I use barefoot shoes whenever I go to the city or when I'm meeting someone.

I can give you the perspective of someone who is into barefoot walking. I've had months of daily 6-8km walks in the forest, all barefoot. I've also walked plenty around the city, even in Warsaw. The biggest risks for me are protruding roots and sharp stones. You develop an instinct after some time, that allows you to move with more precision, but once every month or two you will definitely get a bruise or a small cut. There are smaller things like pine needles, cones, and gravel. Not dangerous but can be painful. The longer you walk, the tougher your feet get. I've never been cut with glass outdoors, despite there being a ton of broken bottles in the forest and on the sidewalks. I find that big shards rarely cut into the skin, even if you step directly onto them. Of course, you want to minimize such incidents. The amount of ticks will depend mostly on the places you'll go to. Obviously, the more skin you expose, the more bugs you invite. I was mainly bitten by ants tho. As for infections, I've never had a problem with that, but I also never had any major injury which would be the major factor. You wash your feet regularly and you'll be fine. All of what I wrote assumes that you are careful, watch your step, and use your common sense. Running is different. You need to have a good surface for that. The risk raises exponentially with your speed and the amount of irregularities on the ground. If you choose a good path and constantly monitor the ground, you can run and even sprint. Overall, I would say it's worth it if you like the feeling. There is a whole health argument for it, but I am no expert. It feels healthy and my feet have a nicer shape. For me, it's mostly fun and having additional sensations.

I also struggle on LSD - ecstatic peaks and brutal comedowns. Try boofing 2C-B. For me it is similar to LSD but more positive. Much shorter duration, and allows for redosing during the trip. More predictable than shrooms. I tried it in moderate ranges (up to ~25mg rectally) and had only positive experiences.

Someone already mention the ufo subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/). It's a bit spammy but they post relevant news from time to time. Some news I heard about: - On the legal front, a couple of days ago, a text of new version of the UAP disclosure act was released. A similar one had been passed recently but in a watered-down version, so pro-disclosure senators are pushing for an upgrade. If successful, it will be voted with the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. - Lue Elizondo is releasing a book soon. - If you choose to trust channelers like Darryl Anka (Bashar), some of them are quite confident about upcoming big contact events in the next few years. Bashar himself pointed to 2026/27. His transmissions in the past years shifted strongly towards this subject. You can check out "The Social Experiment" and the September event in Sedona.

I tried 5-meo only 4 times, but this is how it felt. I turned into the colorful soup from the picture, with some abstract remnants of my humanity floating around.

@Leo Gura Your reflections on your style of communication made me think of an analogy I made up. In Dune by Frank Herbert, everyone has shields that cover the whole body. Their main mechanic is that they can only be penetrated by a slowly moving object. If you shoot or punch it too hard, it will act like non-newtonian fluid, and stop the attack. So in this universe military is back to blades and soldiers are trained in a dedicated martial art focused on slow attacks (for penetration) and fast defense (for deflection). Human discussions have this dynamic. They are this quirky dance in which you can't force anything if you care to have a deep impact. This analogy got my stubborn father to see that he was wrong for drastic examples for discussing sensitive topics. Like comparing all left-leaning ideas to communists. Or overusing reductio ad absurdum argument. And when called out, he would get self-righteous and defensive. He would immediately activate his shield... This analogy was my slow blade

@Leo Gura Listening to you again is a joy, Leo! And your delivery did change a bit. Just like you mentioned in some of the episodes before the break: less harsh, and more compassionate. It helps absorb the content better. You maintained your characteristic bluntness, but without unnecessary radicalization or overexaggaration which would happen in past episodes. At least that's how it felt to me after a long break from watching your videos.

In my experience, Tiktok algorithm is very responsive to my activity. I use it only for business purposes. After two days of researching products, and intentionally interacting with certain posts, my feed turned into a focused stream of product ads, which was exactly what I wanted. Once I got distracted by some health hacks, and after watching them for a while, I got more health hacks.

For anyone reading, here's an update after one month: I made slight progress in the business itself, because of persistent backlashes. Mind is using distraction and rationalization to avoid changing core beliefs. But I finally got a bit clearer picture and with it sense of empowerment. Here's a short reflection on the nature of my procrastination, for anyone struggling with a similar problem I didn't want to accept the compromise. The injustice in the world, the fact that some people are stuck in low consciousness and that I would benefit from their misery, made me question my right to success. I feared that if I allowed myself to take imperfect action, I would waste my full potential. I've taken pride in my holistic approach. I've mislabeled denial of raw reality for having high standards. I resisted taking part in what I perceived to be a flawed process. I forgot that everything happens for a reason. That the dark side of business is a valid part of reality. And the "flawed" process is perfect in the cosmic sense. I can decide to accept or resist it. Accept myself as a part of it. I refused to take direct responsibility. Conceptually, I understand that capitalism is a necessary step in human evolution. My whole life I consumed its products. But I refused to be an active participant. I am fine with the system as long as I'm not the one selling and marketing. I am rationalizing, that there are infinite ways to financial freedom, and I should be able to come up with some hyper-conscious exploit. In this area of life, I didn't want to acknowledge my limitations and denied myself empathy. Of course, I should aim to find the most holistic path. However, looking for a holistic solution out of fear of imperfection paradoxically leads to neglecting the most fundamental elements of the puzzle: acceptance and self-love. Without those, I can't evaluate my needs and ambitions with radical honesty. And without it, I am not transcending anything, I am deluding myself.

Hi, I need some thoughtful outside perspective. I may have gone a little overboard with the details, but I really want to avoid triviality and wasting time. And you can always ask chatGPT for TLDR. I don't ask for life advice easily. I thought through my situation 100s of times. I got to a point where I lost trust in my own judgment. I could use some direct advice coming from more experience. My purpose: For all of my teenage years, I was focused on understanding the reality. I lacked mentorship, so I also "wasted" time on games, YouTube, movies, Internet. "Wasted" in quotes, because I don't really judge myself. I immersed myself in diverse types of vibes, aesthetics, communities, humor, etc. Free digital wandering gave me a glimpse of the different tastes and textures of life From a practical perspective, I recognize this as highly dysfunctional. Anyway, in the back of my mind, I only cared about THE TRUTH. This combined with a catholic upbringing made me into a devout teen. Between 15-16, I went to church every morning. As expected, religion didn't quench the thirst for the Absolute. At 17 I left the church and became miserable nihilist. At 18 I got into Peterson's work, and eagerly took on materialism and evolutionary psychology as my new belief systems. ~6 months had passed before I realized this was dogma all over again. So, I dropped back into nihilism. I finally admitted to myself I was lost and looked up "how to deal with nihilism" on YouTube. That's how I found Leo. I listened for 100s of hours to the bald man vocalizing all of my suppressed intuitions and much more. Around 19th birthday, I had my first trip, and in the following year, I did a total of 20-30 trips on LSD, shrooms, 2c-b, and 5-meo. I got glimpses of comprehension beyond the conceptual. I decided I need to transform my life to accommodate more serious inquiry. I spent the whole 20th year of life contemplating the future, and my place in the human world. For now, my purpose is to learn more and explore further. I don't REALLY know how the world works. For now, I refuse to take on any simplified mission statement like: "fighting [whatever]", "helping others with [whatever]", and "developing [whatever] technology". I don't REALLY understand systems, human mind, technology, geopolitics, economy, relationships, health, art, and especially THE TRUTH. My goal: I need financial independence and abundance to enable: Unrestricted spiritual development, learning, exploration, uncompromised health optimization, creating a new social circle aligned with my values, and clarity of mind. Some of those things may not require massive wealth. But they do require fund reserves or passive income. Otherwise, they are highly constricted. The more ambitious the goals, the more freedom matters. My financial situation up until now: Before 18, I was too busy deconstructing my values to think care about school or making money. My parents provided me with the necessary minimum. After that, I decided I needed to move out. Living with a big family and animals is highly distracting, and I only cared for mental clarity. I got a handyman job for a stable income and enrolled in paid clinical trials for a cash boost. I ended up sharing an apartment with a friend, due to high rent. The job was mind-numbing and morale-degrading. Living with a friend not much better than with family. However, during 8 months on my own, I learned a lot. About life and my priorities. And my family readjusted their attitude towards me, started to respect me more, and listen to my ideas. I decided to use it as my strategic advantage. In the last October, I struck a temporary deal with my father: - I get to leave the job, move back home, and get more independence and privacy. - Family will support me while I create a better source of income for myself. - Father gives me a job as his trainer/coach/assistant and I help him fix his health. Unfortunately, I wasn't mindful enough (busy tripping) to save up much, so I only have about $1500. My family can't invest in my venture as they struggle with high debt. My strategy: Using the buffer of Dad's money and trust, I allowed myself to be picky. I analyzed available opportunities looking for the following criteria: - time and location freedom - I prioritize my health and flexibility. I need to be able to optimize my day. I also need to oversee Dad's training. - not overly technical - I can learn a lot, but I don't have any hard skills. - quick to generate income - lack is a bottleneck for almost all of my areas of development - low responsibility - I don't want strong ties with partners or clients. I will probably change my financial vehicle after I gather enough funds. - cheap to start - I only own $1500, and prefer to avoid loans. I spent a couple of months grappling with different ideas. The only one that checks all the boxes is Social media dropshipping. Obviously, it's very overhyped and not the easiest thing to do properly. However, to me, it seems valid and attainable. I could use it for up to 2 years to gather money before investing in something more personal and conscious. My progress: In the last two months, I managed to: - Form an LLC in the US (I live in Poland) - Obtain an EIN (tax number) - Open business bank accounts I spent most of that time on: - doubting and rethinking my approach, or rather convincing myself that the strategy makes sense - getting shiny object syndrome from other shallow business models (like mini mobile apps) - watching AI/tech news, wondering if I shouldn't be doing something with AI - getting distracted by random shit (same old - YouTube, movies, forum, family) What's stopping me: When I think about doing TikTok dropshipping, I deeply hate it. I hate shallow business gurus and their capitalistic, self-righteous ideology. I hate doom-scrolling culture and the thought that I would contribute to it. I hate selling random shit to people who don't need it, further distracting them from real problems. I hate dishonest, MrBeastified ads that only exist to hack the algorithm and human attention. I hate the thought of creating this type of business and taking part in this stupid shitshow. This creates an enormous friction in my mind. My moral spine, sense of beauty, and intellectual integrity stop me from partaking in that. And my strategic mind tells me that I will do this only for a short time, and use the money for the net positive. Yet I keep thinking that: "I can do better", "There has to be another way". I want to be smarter and create a more conscious business. But I know that building a conscious business requires mental clarity and focus which I don't have, exactly because of the lack of money. This creates a painful paradox for me. Unable to solve this puzzle, I fall back into my life-long addictions and total paralysis by analysis. My mind acts like an animal trapped in a cage. Flailing its paws and roaring. Doing anything to avoid confrontation with the problem. My dilemma I see two main options: 1. I am severely addicted to distractions and overthinking. All of this is an elaborate rationalization conjured up by an immature, unstable mind. I should just start dropshipping, selling whatever, and then use the money to improve my life, which will give me more clarity for further decisions. 2. The irrational behavior, stalling, and procrastination, are pointing to the fact that my rational mind is forcing something which I deep down don't want to do. I miscalculated my priorities and chose the wrong vehicle to get to my goals. I should listen to my heart, take a few steps back, and come up with a new strategy from scratch.
