Why?

Sounds interesting; but I don't agree when you say that the desire for the other is consumed in the orgasm. It's simple a release of energy. Have you ever orgasmed with your partner simultaneously, at the same time? It's truly magic. Also, quoting Osho: "In orgasm, you come close to death because the ego disappears for a moment. That’s why orgasm and death have a very close association. In a deep orgasm, you forget yourself. There is no ‘I,’ no ego, just pure being, just an energy vibrating. This is why orgasm has a great appeal—it gives you a taste of death. The same happens in death itself. In death, the ego dissolves completely. The body is left behind, the mind is left behind, only pure consciousness remains." Osho viewed both as pathways to experiencing a state of egolessness, where the illusion of the self dissolves, revealing a deeper, more profound reality. So in my opinion what we should do is make love with someone meaningful, have deep and passionate sex, that leads both to an extremely deep orgasm. Then you can both become one and truly unite❤️

Hi everyone. In my spiritual journey I've encountered many different gurus, but I have to say that the first and most influential teacher I've had is Leo. But in the last months I got interested to some teachings by Osho, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Eckhart Tolle. The book that I am re-reading right now is "The power of now" by Tolle, and it greatly explains how to live in the present moment. I've noticed that @Leo Gura hasn't really talked about this topic: he went in such depth for spiritual topics, but I haven't heard about the fact that we can let go of our "talking" mind, our ego, and live in the moment, free of suffering caused by the mind. Did I miss any of your videos about it? If not, why haven't you covered these things? I feel like in general Leo talks more about discovering reality, while Tolle talks about inner peace through living in the moment and transcending the ego. Just for curiosity, how come don't you teach also about this? Not criticizing, just wondering about all these things.🥰

Eckhart Tolle

Would be interesting if you could talk to a priest. Not a really conservative though, one of those more open-minded.

I would like to do some inner work with MDMA, but where I live I can't find good one. The ones I have tried did almost zero effect, even with high doses. So I found that 6-APB is a legal research chemical that supposedly has similar effects to MDMA. Has anyone ever tried it? Let me know what you think about it, experiences, recommendations, etc. Also if you have tips on how to do inner work with these kinds of compounds, pls let me know. In general with psychedelics I just close my eyes, lay down, and see what happens, but idk about these kinds of compounds. Should I do the same, or maybe write down things, do some kind of exercises? Thank you for reading ❤️

@Ingit I am really sorry this happened to you. I am also having a difficult situation with my family after an accident, and it's completely changed our lives. If you ever want to talk about it you can DM me without any problem. I send you lots of love and strength ❤️

@DianaFr thank you for the nice message. To be honest I don't know precisely, but I think it's a mix of both. I do things to take these emotions out. I did a couple of times the Conscious Connected Breathwork, that helped me to cry a lot and release a lot. I should also definitely take care of myself a bit more, eating healthier for instance, or going on more walks in nature, etc. What I don't like perhaps, is that when I go back to the Netherlands it's really easy for me to smoke weed, and it's not a good influence, especially when it becomes a daily thing. But when I try to quit, I start thinking that it's not that bad, and that I like it (which sometimes I do, but most of the times I regret smoking). Probably also the weed numbed the feelings that I have inside, so it's more difficult to feel my positive emotions. Right now I'm in Italy with my family, and I haven't smoked since the end of June, and I hope that when I go back in October I will be strong enough to not do it.

Can you find a guided laughing yoga somewhere? Never heard of it and I'm curious to try.

@LSD-Rumi i am prone to be agitated when I'm with my family, here they are really chaotic and filled with stress; but still I try my best to be mindful and relaxed. I meditate every day and I believe I am a calm person in general. I am not agitated but I also don't feel safe specifically. After this accident I live in uncertainty, learning to accept what impermanence in life is. @Basman yeah I shouldn't be in a rush. And in general I am not, but I know that if I would be able to feel love, I would be better with my family and in my relationship.

@LordFall @Basman yeah I definitely feel like I need to get over this trauma... The fact that my dad is seriously brain injured makes me and my family still hurt a lot, it's really difficult. Our lives are basically tied to taking care of him; actually for me it's easier cause I live in another country due to studies. But every time I come back (f.e. now that's summer) it's like a slap in the face. The problem is that even if the majority of the year I stay abroad, I can't get over it somehow.

@Raze do you have any guided meditations to recommend? Both for the metta and adyashanti i mean. I don't know much about these types of meditation, but I want to give it a try. For the MDMA I would try, but also for that idk how I would lead the trip, how I can use the substance to help me instead of just tripping. Thank you for the help by the way!

@Schizophonia yes it's still really tough and stressful.

Yes you can! But don't think of meditation as a practice you do in a specific position (although you should keep these practices present in your everyday life). Make your whole life a meditation. That means live fully in the present moment, in the NOW. Be always aware of your thoughts, your movements, your breath, everything. You are the watcher, realize it. In only a couple of days you can already get great peace of mind, but you need constant focus, whatever you are doing, wherever you are. Feel the moment, the now.

From what I know, when you cook with wine, alcohol evaporates. But you should double-check.

@flowboy You are totally right. Thank you so much!

Lately I've been having some "mid-life" crisis about what to do in my life. Currently I study in the Netherlands (I'm Italian, studying last year Bachelor), and I know that if after my Bachelor and Master I would go back to my city in Italy (where my family lives) I would easily find a job as a guitar teacher (I know that for a fact; there are not many guitar teachers, and my previous teacher would also recommend me), and I would be close to my family (which is an important thing since I my dad is not doing well and my whole family situation is quite tough - you can read about it here:) What I am scared the most is to settle as a guitar teacher, and never do something more and greater. I don't want to be a guitar teacher forever, what I want is to help people, and also personally grow spiritually. I thought then my life purpose could be something regarding meditation and music. I feel I had a pretty tough life, and I know that in one way or another we are all struggling, and I want to help people. I believe both meditation and music are powerful, but I am scared to never be able to leave my "comfort zone" as a guitar teacher. Or maybe the problem will be not having enough time to invest in a new business, since I will be teaching and helping my mom and dad. I have also the dream of living in multiple places: I moved to the Netherlands, and I understood that living abroad opens up my mind somehow, and studying here is a life-changing opportunity. But how can I do so many things if home there is a difficult situation? How can I help my family, but still grow personally, spiritually and having more life experiences? Probably I am overplanning my future, while I should just focus on finishing my Bachelor and then Master, and only after that see what happens. But I also want to start building something now, even if I am still a student. Long story short, I am pretty scared. Life gave me many positive opportunities, but at the same time with my dad's accident my whole life changed, I am a completely different person, and many times I feel lost. I am scared of all this impermanence I am experiencing, and the people around me don't have a deep or high-consciousness way of thinking, so I don't feel like talking about this stuff. This is also why I am writing here, and if you have any advice, thought, or anything to share, please feel free to do so, it would really help. I really appreciate you took the time to read me!

@ShardMare More than a year ago my dad and my brother had an accident with the motorcycle. A deer jumped in front of them, and after that, they hit a tree. My brother recovered after many surgeries, but my dad was in a coma for a month, and now he is still not fine. I have always had OCD-like behaviors in general in life, but after this event I see these have expanded in a more "existential" way (if that makes sense). In other words, I'm also scared to suddenly die, or get seriously hurt. What I do is practice letting go. That helps a lot. Of course not every day is easy. What makes me feel better, is talking about it to people. Sometimes I also do it with people that are not my friends. Many of them listen and care, and it makes me feel lighter. You're not alone. Probably you have lived some traumatic event that has brought you these thoughts, even if you've never had an accident. If you want you can PM me and we can talk about it. I send you love!

@leebus99 Thank you. As you said, I need to trust myself more. @flowboy Yes, also for me would be boring becoming a guitar teacher, and have keep this job forever. For my family and culture the best thing is finding stability and keeping it, and I am scared of not being able to break out of this mentality. I am still a student, so it's easy to fantasize and be excited about doing something unique, but when it will come to actually do it I will be alone. I hope I will be strong enough. Since my dad and brother had the accident I easily get scared of some aspects of life. Gotta work on that.

@bensenbiz ...why?

@centurysets More than three years ago I bought a microphone that you can directly plug in the computer, and it's still working really good. I use it for recording music (I play classical guitar), and for that and voice is great. What I usually do is record video with a camera/phone, and then record audio separately with the mic, and then just edit these and put them together (all of these with pre-installed programs on PC; not the best quality of course, but it works, and it's not bad). Hope I could help somehow!

You should make a video with less background noise. I'd rather watch something with good sound quality and bad video quality, than the other way around. That's just my unprofessional advice.

@Juan I have been taking Lion's Mane for a month now (one pill 2500 mg per day), and microdosing 1P-LSD (10ug - bought legally online) every third day, and I have to say that I am really satisfied with the way this mushroom affects me. I feel I go through the days with some underlying energy that is not stimulating like coffee, and it also makes me feel good about myself and my environment. The combination with 1P-LSD is interesting, I definitely feel I have a psychedelic in my body, but it's not annoying, and it doesn't make me distracted: I can be productive, study, practice guitar for hours, go to class, work... I can have a normal day, but with an extra empathy and sensitivity to my surroundings, emotions, people around me, and all the situations I find myself in.

Great trip report, I'm glad you could have such a deep experience; I never went so deep with truffles, probably because I've never had more than 12g...Which strain did you have?

Ela re tikaneis! I tried them, and once I had terrible nausea. But yeah without the seed coat you won't have that.
