But again @Leo Gura, regards to what the "Lord of The Rings" speak on the video. There is something among what he say in the video that you would take with a grain of salt?

Honestly, is easier arge with Leo than argue with God, with Leo people still have a bit of leeway and so forth. With God? Good Luck.

About the deleted Solipsism vídeo. For me that was among one of the deepest one I ever watched. And listening it several times I could clearly see the reason for deleting it. Was exactly to avoid that falling in wrong ears. Even my mind year ago would freak out trying to even contemplate that stuff. One week after listening that I went to a deep psycadelic trip and the video was very helpfull to me at least contemplating dozens of backstories I keep telling myself. I hope more deep stuff come this year as promised on the video where is told about what course the teaching will start going from now on.

I hope Leo dont change that much. If he one day start speaking as Sadguru, Mooji,Osho or even Ken Wilber I am out. I know what is the feeling when you are in your own element, speaking in your own voice and style. It feels so good and authentic. Is like when you find the perfect job that fits your talents. In that state, if anyone comes to you and say you should change the way you are or your approach, the person dont know the costs you paid in inner work to reach that state of authenticity, so in my humble opinion make no freaking sense asking a podcaster to change to fit my personal peferences of delivery.

On this aspect I used to be annoyed when Leo in his videos answer to objections that I was not even having,but I contemplated later with myself that maybe he himself ready was faced in himself that objection so he present in the video. And in many instances the objection he brougth up and answered was exactly the one my mind was thinking. Just imagine you are talking to a camera, would you assume the mind that is listening in the other side is an enlighten, unbias mind? If the reciver of the videos was a awakened being there would be no need of videos. For me Leo could keep recording as he wish. The only thing I would ask him to do is : Keep speaking the truth radicaly.

@Danioover9000 Nice video to underStand Stans. Personaly I can't stand for Stans and I don't understand why.

Ego is among other things the desire to things fit you. If Leo was this guy,would you listen any of his videos? What if Leo decide to use a mask in every video he do like in his Hallowen,NewEve videos? And what if every spiritual teacher decide to use some ornaments? Would you let the decoration to be block to your ears? If I cant look to the men I can close my eyes and listen.

For me i think like this: I come for Truth. I know people in my personal life that have a very sweet and calm, non arrogant way of delivering, but most of what they deliver is pure bullshit. If what one is saying is true I better no let the style of their speaking to disctract me from it. If you go in a Amazonian Shaman, he will sing stuff in a language you dont even understand, so, will you be distracted with your non-undestranding of the language and be focused on your awareness or will you be trying in vain to translate the language. Same with leo videos. I ignore the aggresive posture and focus on what is being said. At least the man speak with passion. Sometimes we confuse passionate speaking with arrogance.

I use to have crazy nigthmares, sometimes obseving people being killed by animal attacks,shotguns,knifes. Or shooting me ( one nigth it was was a arab in a airplane, he shot me 3 times in vain, it was a lucid dream so I knew he cold not kill me) Sometimes are dreams where I am the agent of the killing( i crunched the head of a Macaw once, I helped a fake cop to invade the house of a guy and shot him) .. sometimes I visit cemetery like places with death bodies all around. Of course My diet can affect the dreamscape, but overall I enjoy both the ligth ones and the dark ones. It gives some balance. And @Hanna Luna touch sensations are also normal in dreams, painfull ones and pleasure ones. Who never even had felt a hug in dreams. I even felt the warm feeling of the body I has hugging. So is not all pain and suffering. God is not so limited. For me everything your body can see,hear,feel including emotional reactions also can in a dream. Only smell and Tastes I never had experience in dreams ( Figure why?) And the protoception and interoception also are not set in stones. Sometimes in dreams I feel heavy and sometimes ligth and I can float. Not something special of dreamland, if you faint you feel like you are losing your body (low pressure) For me also is a matter of sense of agency. In daily life feels good to have agency, to feel you are the one acting and making choices,writing comments, and is inevitable to see it differently that it in defalt mode. Now I am writing and having this sense that is a me in the act of writing and if in a few hours someone comes by and start to tourture me ( I hope not), and while I am being tortured will be very difficult to rationalise that the pain is a dream God is having and not a "me". But if that pain could not exist,Infinity would not be Infinity, because to be Infinity it must embrace everything possible,infinitely, even this cold in my fingers rigth now while I write. I can dislike this cold, or I can accept that I cant eliminate any characteristic of all my experience. I cant decide if tonigth I will dream with a trip to a paradise of to hellpits. ( But about my cold fingers I will put some gloves)

Schizophrenic races wiped away from existence by "Normy"Bussiness-minded Races. This is inspired by the last blog post from Leo about Schizofrenia. and about the dreamy people from the past being cast out from existence by the more bussiness-minded ones (materialistic). https://www.actualized.org/insights/what-its-like-to-have-schizophrenia The topic of Schizofrenia remind me about all the crazy mind blowing stuff I saw in visionary states of consciousness , all those faces,intertmingling in a vast field of imagery, nothing one could take hold on, dream stuff, infinite templates that, if one could organize it, in a coherent fashion it would not be so difficult to create a whole universe from it, wood patters,fur,glass,baby faces,woman,fire patterns,colouring pencils,gradients of shadow, smoke patterns, glossy structures...impossible to list all, I even saw splashes of blood running like rivers. So, in the last 6 years I saw a lot,on an on.. .material enough to create a virtual reality ( at least visualy speaking) . Many times for me it was like I was experiencing the mind of a Schizofrenic but instead of freaking out with it, being curious about it, contemplating it. nothing new for anyone who ready had visions on trips So back to Leo points Quote: " In other words, the reason humans are so materialistic, rational, and business-like by default is because all the humans with dreamy default states of consciousness were killed off by the business-minded ones. Consider the possibility that 2000 years ago all humans were much more dreamy by default than they are today. But war killed them off and selected for the most materialistic, rational, and business-minded ones. Which is to say, all the most spiritual humans were killed off long ago." -Leo Gura- Imagine what a war is for a normal person. Now imagine what war would be for a Schizofrenic. If you want to experience it, drink 2 glasses of ayahuasca and go to walk in a busy city. So,this post reminded me that I had this link below... comes from the book The Secret Doctrine by Madame Blavatsky http://www.freeinvestigators.com/wi/What-is-Root-Race.php Quote: "1st Root Race.The first root race did not have physical bodies, and their mind-principle was not functioning, hence were called AMšNASA, without mind. Manas, or mind, was only awakened in the third root race by the MšNASAPUTRAS" Question. The so called physical brain we have today is the same from million years ago? A change in the hardware dont affect a change in the software? If the structure evolves dont the function evolve as well? The truth is, I don't know, I just know that when I pump this thing here with enough enteogens the shit get very crazy, dream like crazy. We see in Egipt, Aztec and even Gaelic worldviews we see zoomorphic beings, all this ancestor describe their world like childen, and we are tempted to think they were doing that drawings just for allegoric reasons. What if schizofrenia was more acceptable those times? Well, I never saw it. I was not there, But I heard people in ceremomies saying that everyone in the room became animals. Some with Panther faces,Olws,Pigs...Go figure. To be honest I had never belived everything antropologists say. My question since young was: " Ok, these guys offer explanations of human evolution as far as the physical evidences allow them bones,tools,buildings..., but what about further away? When the traces of "physical " evidence disappear? When we research pre-historic populations we see that they were animistic. So, Just because is all a dream it dosent mean that dream cannot evolve. There was times I couldn't have to much control of my lucid dreaming, now I can navigate much better and be less afraid of it when it happens. And we dont need to go so far. Even last year hearing a old amazonian"pajé" ( Huni Kuin shaman) telling their cosmologic stories, I couldn't make sense of it. Was like he was talking dream language, no logic, no relation with anything you could call "scientific" the best one can make sense of their cosmovision is to categorize it as mytological or even science-fiction. This is of course just me open-minded speculating about it, so please dont come with questions of "proof" or "plausability" and so on. If Leo can become and Alien, what more can be possible? We just don't know. Or have someone here traveled to thousand years in history to see how humans were or how the gestalt of those were ? Anyway, for all of us there was time when as babies, we had no ideia we had a body or we were the owners of a body. When we study the evolution of man are we not actually studying the evolution of a dream?

And Interview dealing with the topic of female interactions among themselfes, the way they compete and cooperate. Nobody saint in this world. Only different ways of navigation in the monkey social arena. By my own experience even in so called "spiritual communities" I saw a lot of what the video talks about. A lot of Sisterhood too, but the shadow aspects were still there. This channel is an amazing source of good Interviews about relationships.

Other day I was asking myself about why nobody here talks about FTX ,Friedman Bank scandal? Not relevant? And this "opinion" from Jamie Dimon? Biased? He call It a "decentralised ponzy scheme" JPMorgan boss stressed: “Crypto itself doesn’t do anything. It’s a pet rock.” https://news.bitcoin.com/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-calls-bitcoin-hyped-up-fraud-expects-satoshi-nakamoto-to-increase-btc-supply-cap/

Is all fun an games until someone lose and ego.

@Julian gabriel hehe, now you wish this power to make stuff you see to change into another shape,color, position. Be careful with what you wish. It came to my mind people high in ayahuasca seeing visions with eyes open, asking: - Please, make it stop!make it stop! Take this out of me!! I know this because I was exactly this person not long ago. Now, just the peace to let everything is exactly as it is and perfect as it is, is one of the best experiences. But still, when the visions came it don't make me worried anymore since is something natural. But if you are trying to make some visionary change to happen in you defalt mode, good luck.

@Juan true about the dietas, there is no rule set in stone, I hear many stuff, so in the end better to follow you body inteligence. One situation after 3 days before kambo I was all ok with the diet but I forgot and had a small coffee and a mini pastry cake. Imediately I felt weird and run to the toiled. I had diarrea for about 4 days, nothing could stop in my body. Is simplez after a detox with kambo if is well made, one get clean almost as a child, or as a frog. As far as know frogs dont eat cakes and drink coffee or sugary stuff. Anyway, kambo is a fast option to clean up. Why not be disciplined and detox slow via good diets, fasting etc... nothing substitutes for a healty lifestyle. Also, there is no need to do Kambo so often. First time I received kambo was from a Yawanawa guy, 6 years later I meet him last year in a ceremony. He was explaining in the end of ceremony that in the morning he would serve kambo for who wish. I came to him and asked if he would also apply in himself. He answer me that he didnt take kambo himself for 9 years. So, we assume these indigenous pass their days drinking ayahusca,doing kambo and rapé but we just assume. Most part of time they are just living normaly. For me if was to choose doing a Kambo ritual or going to a barbecue with friends I would go to the barbecue. A good beef can make miracles to my energy levels. Hehe

Although I think is amazing that people are more open to Amazonia healing plants, rapé,kambo, sananga,ayahuasca, I still have the concern of the trivialization of this substances by people who have the mindset of " I now don't need to be disciplined so much with my diet because I always can go and detox myself with kambo" The episode showed everything as it is, the only thing I never do when I do kambo is using rapé after it. When one do Kambo you have someday of post diet where you dont eat sugary stuff or stuff with sweet taste for at least 3-4 days, also no sex. But rapé?why? I ready feel grounded and full of energy after the purge, why using a plant that for what I feel is to ground one into the body . Make sense what one guy said that Kambo helps him to lead better in his job. I feel kambo almost like give you this instintictiv feeling, almost like you become a frog with a poisoned skin, you become aware of the subtle attacks from others and more able to respond with accuracy and directness, something that can be percived by others as aggressiveness. Yes, you became more animal. Is good to cut the bullshit.

ChatGPT has alarmed high-school teachers, who worry that students will use it—or other new artificial-intelligence tools—to cheat on writing assignments. But the concern doesn’t stop at the high-school level. At the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School of Business, professor Christian Terwiesch has been wondering what such A.I. tools mean for MBA programs. https://fortune.com/2023/01/21/chatgpt-passed-wharton-mba-exam-one-professor-is-sounding-alarm-artificial-intelligence/ Ops...

And what happens if a system print dollars like crazy?the excessive mining would not have the similar effects?

Why some would do that? If one think well maybe doing this would have consequences to the whole system. Is called a currency for some reason don't it?

I do kambo, and when I do after 30min I am more than ready to function with full energy and clear mind, imagine a indegenous dude that is used to his own medicine.

What part of "contemplating" people dont understand? I loved the list. Copied to my journal to contemplate during the whole year. Thank you

An the solution to death?

@Aiwass this ideia of snuffing kambo is yours? I commute with Huni Huin, Yawanawa and others for around 6 years and I never heard of this use of kambo. Is true that is can be absorved in any place where there is mucosa. But why in the nose bro? I would even be aware of recomend this stuff.

Suppose a warrior, forgetting that he was already wearing his pearl on his forehead, were to seek for it elsewhere, he could travel the whole world without finding it. But if someone who knew what was wrong were to point it out to him, the warrior would immediately realize that the pearl had been there all the time. So, if you students of the Way are mistaken about your own real Mind, not recognizing that it is the Buddha, you will consequently look for him elsewhere, indulging in various achievements and practices and expecting to attain realization by such graduated practices. - Huang Po -
