I liked the finale. Honestly if they ended the show here it would be a great ending as it is. Apparently there will be a second season.

Hi Leo, in regards to this do you think psychedelics have the potential to raise your base level of consciousness permanently or is this more of a hit and miss compared to strong spiritual practice like Kriya yoga? I've heard you say before they give you temporary peaks but you return down to baseline post trip. Thank you and happy holidays!

The video about native americans and early conflicts in the US was great, I watched some other videos from the channel it's engaging stuff 👍

Japanese work culture conformity explained: *This is what happens when you live in a society purely focused on apperances, devoid of soul and spirituality. This is what happens when you confuse external world of objects as the one and true reality. Maya can be a real B***h. Why this actualized work is so important. Imagine these people waste their entire lives worried about what others think of them, if they are acceptable to their superiors, trying to fit in...they are completely paradigm locked in this hellish work culture unable to see a way out. Why it's so important to study many different perspectives, cultures, lifestyles around the world, you see that there are many different ways to live, some good, some not so much. I always thought if some of these Japanese workers who knew English moved abroad they could really kick ass in the west. Japanese, chinese, Singaporeans and Koreans are some of the most educated people on earth (at least in the stem fields). Their skills and knowledge would be greatly appreciated and used by companies in the west instead of wasting away.

Yeah I get ya, watching these videos makes people feel superior to others which is kinda an unhealthy thing to engage in really.

Not as silly as this guy...ok, I shall stop now.

So what's your theory? I'm open to hearing you out. Also notice that Russia could be weaponizing this uncomfortable truth about the west in it's propaganda campaigns. Doesn't make it any less true that this stuff happens. You must be able to hold this as a possibility but detach yourself emotinally from it unlike what Russian propaganda wants you to do which is become outraged by it. Doesn't mean you should hate the west, just means you deal with the fact you live in a corrupt system. In the west the amazing lives we live are thanks to this bullying and explotation of others. Is it wrong? Hell yeah, but this is how the world works in our current evolutionary state on this planet. I will still live in the west and benefit from all the corruption that is going on under the radar. Fuck I'd much rather live in the west than in my country of birth Russia. The west is corrupt, Russia is corrupt, The middle east is corrupt, africa is corrupt and so is every country on earth to one degree or another. There are shenanigans going on all over the place. Your job is to learn about it all and stay detached and cool headed.

Funny not funny 😂

Our master sensei just missing a little cosmetic work. Could get some advice from this guy

I am still young full of regrets but work slowly to fix all my shit. I don't dwell much on my regrets because they make me depressed AF. I try to see regrets as guiding points in my life of where I am failing and where I must take action. My three biggest regrets would be: 1. Not bothering socializing with others my age my entire life. 2. Not saving enough money (I am working on fixing this) 3. Being the violent asshole I was to my brother when we were kids and hurting him almost daily for years. He went through so much shit because of me he never deserved. Being verbally abusive to my mom when I was young and putting her through financial hell through my mistakes in my teens.

Mate give the book a read, you'll learn a thing or two. The book reveals the deep dark underbelly of US war machine and the hidden psychological warfare tactics the US has used to continue a undercover colonialist empire since the 60s. Again you might not like what it has to say if you are a patriot.

To those interested there is a book on Leo's booklist goes deep into the lives of the 0.1% of the richest Americans on earth (centi millionaires and billionaires). The book goes much deeper than even this video shared.

I second what Ishanga said here. Read the book, it will give you a lot of clarity @Daniel Balan. However you might not like what the author has to say. What is going on is pure corruption and devilry by the US. It could be many factors in my humble opinion: 1. Depose the goverment of Venezuela, and destabilize the region to later bring in american companies that'll profit from the chaos. 2. Distract the public back home from the consolidation of power, the creation of a fascist USA and dictatorship. 3. Sell and test weaponry by the US in a new war (the war machine must always have new wars somewhere this is one of the top economic drivers of the US). Trump and his cronies probably own large stakes in weapons production and will benefit hugely from conflict. 4. Finally and least importantly steal some oil (this however is not even close to being the main aim as you usually set up mutually beneficial agreements with countries for their resources, you don't go to war against them). Like @Ishanga has explained and if you read the book, the US has been doing corrupt devilish shit like this since forever, they've stolen, pillaged, raped other countries resources and got away with it because they are the big bully in town.

Really random one but when you are driving down the highway and everybody keeps just a little over the "two cars apart rule of thumb" distance from the vehicle in front of them because it is polite.

Thank you for your message Leo. For a little background I actually work for an awesome company with incredible people doing great work for environmental protection. Unfortunately I'm working most of the time on a second site the company owns run by these two individuals about 4h away from the main company. It's just me and them up there + contractors which allows this type of abusive behavior to run rampant and unoticed. Actions I've been taking the past two years I've been working there: 1. I document all incidents and write up incident reports. 2. I let the higher ups at the main company know of all instances of bad behavior so they are aware of the situation. They have asked I keep clear incident reports. 3. I have now raised issues several times with HR. I am fighting back via the diplomatic means. However these two individuals in question are very entrenched where they are. They have their house on site and have lived there for the past 20 years. Their kids have grown up there. Most of all they are VERY useful and provide lots of value which makes it hard to get rid of them. If things don't change (which they might as I do have full support from higher ups in the main company) I have plans to end my contract and leave before the end of 2026.
